MISS DUNDY'S UNIQUE PARTY. The Grace and Beauty of Omaha De- stort in Bathing Costumes —Various Gatherings of Mer- ? rymakers—Gossip. Miss Dundy’s Aquatic Party. One of tho most unique social events in Omaha this season and which would hardly have been dreamed of this side of Long Branch or Coney Island was the bathing gorty given by Miss Luna Dundy on last onday evening, The natatorium was ohar- tered for the evening andat 9:30 0'clock Miss Dundy and_ her guests, which represented the cream of Omaha society, arrived. The keys of the place were turned over to the fair young hostess, the doors were locked and the fun began, The place was brilliantly lighted with_electricity, the running water was brought to the proper temperature by the steam pipes and everything made ready for the pleasure and thorough wetting of the guests. In the long line of dressig-rooms the transformation of fashionable young la- dies and gentlemen into mermaids und mer- men was first effected and at first some of the youngor belles were rather abashed to appeur in their abbreviated costume until the assuring spiash of some of their sisters made them crazy tofollow suit. Some of the cos- tumes, particularly those worn by the ladies, were of a very bandsome pattern and looked very pretty before they were wet. The gen- tlemen wero encased in_the rogulation peni- feutiary stripe. The Misses Dundy both woro very handsome costumes of black silk, ‘Fho event was in every was ss brilliant as It was moist. The evening of uproarious merriment and the mingliog of fominine ks with musi- cal laughter, is better imagined than de- scribed. There is an exhileration from con- tact with water that defies all staidness and stiffness of deportment, unlooses all the pent- up merriment in the swimmer, and ali the guests laughed louder and longer than they ever did before. Some of the fair nympis ‘were unused to a larger sheef of water than 80 oramnary bath tub, and as they timidly Jowered themselves into the great tank and felt the aqueous element coming up over their ankles, they would emit little shricks and hastily clamber back ouly totry it over agsin. All 'the ladies tried the thrilling descent of the toboggan slide At first with fright And then with delight.” Nearly all the gentlemen present were swimmers, and the pool nine feet deep w the sp g boards was kept in con- stant agitation by the divers. Miss Lulu Dundy, Miss May Dundy und Sirs. Emma H. Thayer were tho only ladies who would veature the dive from the spring boards, Jaiss Lulu Duudy made s during pluuge from the upper baicony inta the pool below to the ‘astonishwent of every one present. Not _ven any of the gentlomen would follow her ‘exawple, und hor feminino friends regarded horas a veritable heroine. For two hours the sport coutinupd, although the timo seomed scarce thirly minutes, and the party ended with every one declaring it wus the folliest und moss uniquo ovont ever kuown Omaha society, and they had seen more of their friends than they ever had before. The guests wore us follows : Mr. und Mrs. Joseph Clarkson, M+. and Mrs, Frank Colvetzer, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Davis, Mr. and Mrs. David J.

About thirty per- sons, representing the younger element of Omaha’s best society, were present and were chuperoned by Mrs: G. W, Doane and Mrs. Mrs. Charles Keller. Twelve regular dances were on the evening's programme, but the sport was prolonged by the inser: tion of & number of extras. The scene of gaiety and revelry, hemmed in by the deep surrounding shades, was decidedly roman- tic, and o person comung _through the park upon the-nerry scene 0f Winsome young ladies and handsome young gallants grace- fully swaying to the music so strangely sweet among the troes, could imagine that he had ~ stumbled upon the sacred precincts of fairy land. Itisno wonder that private partics at the park have become so popular. A dainty lunch was served at 10:30, after which the dancing was resumed and contin- ved until midnight.
