IN OMAHA SOCIAL CIRCLES. | Rain and Mud Fail to Hinder the Votaries of Pleasure, THE BRILLIANT MAY FETE. Whist at Judge Dundy's—Imperial Club May Party-The Kammerad- #chaft Banquet—Balls. Partics, Weddings—General Gossip. The May Fete. By some stroke of artistic genius and a great deal of hard work, the usually barn-like appearing Exposition hall was converted into & bewildering bower of beauty for the open- Ing evening of the May fete. The transfor- mation had been wronght by the members of the woman’s Christian association, and was participated in by some of the most prom nent socicty ladies in Omaha, The purpose of the entertainment was to raise funds for the vld ladies’ home, and also for the young ladies’ home recently established in the city. Tt is doubiful whether there has ever been a display of vy charucter given in this city, not excepting the celebrated art loan_exhibi- tion held some {ime ago, that excelled this one. Upon entering the hall the first attractive feature that greeted the eye of the visitor is the ‘“Japenese Kawi' situated at the left of the main entrance door. It is presided over by Mrs. Cadet Taylor, Mrs, J. C. Taylor and rs. W. R. Henderson, who are assisted by Misses ‘Irene Fraze, Jesse LeClair, Carrie Lawton and the Misses McClain. The booth is picturesquely adorned with fans of all sizes und ages, tea boxes, lanter and any number of minor trinkets, Roman pavilion 18 next in order. At the corners of this stood two elegant Corinthian pilllars that were imported b A about the booth hung the richest tapestries, one of them being a Moorish curt made in the harems of Turke; wrought in gold thread on a silk g Tables covered with bouquets woer booth to add to the beauty of the steps on vhich the were covered with and leopard skins, There was @ bevy of young ladies in charge of the booth, and the ill-starred young wmen who paused to admire the noblest Roman of them all found it difficult to get away with a full pocketbook. The young ladies in charga of the booth last night proved great financiers and coined much money on the beverage they sold—Roman punch, The costumes of these young ladies represented both ancient and modern Italy, and were very handsome, Two of the ladies, Miss Mabel Balcombe and Miss y Coburn d in white dra- e attired as Roman ladies, 10 represent statues, The lady in charge of this booth was Miss Haller. Her assistants were: Mrs. J. M. Metcalf, ‘Mrs, Joseph Bar- ton and Misses Gundy Coburn, May Yates, Daisy Brownson, Emma Balbock, Nelli¢ Moore, Mabel Fonda (the beautiful Galatea), Opal Touzalin, Gertie Clark, Grace Perine, Jennie McClellan and Amelia Boley, all of whom take up the different Oriental ‘charac- ters as well as represented statuary and the peasantry. Tzilqrstvnskizki Jurstkviz was the startling language which was heard spoken immedi- next to the Roman Booth, but upon in- quiring the visitor is informed that he should not be uneasy, as it is simply the Russian stronghold, which had as its ruler Mrs, I Colpetzer, whose assistants are Mrs, L. Bradfordand Miss Nellic Wakele The < booth represented a cottuge and was cov- cred with furs of the white and black bear, and was a most striking and handsome piece of work. “‘Maud Muller at the Spring” was imper- sonated by Miss May Dundy in u bower of vines and Howers, and for ten " cents, slaked the thirst of commoners as well as judges who sauntered by. A Scotch lass, with numerous lasses gnd rns, readily’ informed the visitor when had reached “Scotland” as it was rep- esented, se they did not. its presid- ing_oMcer, N. B. Falconer did. Her assistants were Misses George Sharp, Emily Wakeley, Daisy Doane, Edith Crandell, Phemic Bowie and Nat' Goodwin, the last two of whom during the evening entertained the numerous wisitors with the Scotch reel and Highland fling as did also Mr, William Ross who impersonated the character of a Highland dancer. The cottage wat Highlund style, wi about the cne. The statues stood Roman stripes constructed after the trimmed _up with ivy and had o that roof. The effect wits made more realistic by an actual hen and chickens in a coop outside, and by the herr- ings hangng up to dry. A peep inside showed the interior very cozy and home- like, The next “cottage” is the “swectest of them all,” as Mrs. Howard Smith, who pre- sided over the “Home Made Caney Booth, termed it. The young lady assistants here were Mrs. J. B, Collins and Misses Bert Yost, Nellic Burns, Jennie Murry, Mary Bowin, Ida Dixon, Nellie Sherwood ‘und the Missos’' McClintock. The booth was very tastefully ornamentod with portiers and ar tistic laud rugs. In the centerof the room Mrs. William Fleming, ussisted by Mrs, Frank Hills, had o beautiful May pole, and during the evening the following little boys and pirls amused the spectators with songs and dances. Misses Mabel Brown, Louise Squires, Susie Col petzer, Mabel 'Hobbie, 1 ‘Allen, Lillie doore, Hattio Katie, and Masters Henry Clark, Howard, Tilton, Roy Hobbie, Harry ons, Russel Wilbur, Ira Van' Kamp, Mosier 'Col s and Charles Pratt, with Miss Grace Allen acting as the queen.

On Wednesday last at § o'clock a large and appreciative audience assembled in the Creighton college hall to witness a public specimen of the class work, given by the students of the lowest Latin class. As an- nounced in the programme, any one in the hall was free to question the class upon the matter there laid down, it being the matter passed over in the last three months. The routine of questioning was relieved by a goodly number of declamations, composi- tions and son; he class consisted of about thirty boys, varying in ages from ten to four- years: the polished appearance, the eness of attive, and the radiant coun- of each little gentleman, as he filed age from a side door, was the gen- eral index by which the friends in the aud ience could pretty well judge beforehand the character of the coming entertainment, A prologue was given by Master Philip Me- welcoming all there assembled, and in introducing what was to follow.
