NASTE T0 THE WEDDING. Marriage Engagements Thick as Blackberries in June. A WEEK'S FESTIVITIES. Evenings at High Five—‘Tears” in Amateur Theatricals—Another Conching Party—Dancing With the Militia. Marriageable Bachelors. One of the cleverest young society ladies of Omaha, one who has ceased to e a bud, but who has increased her attractiveness thereby, remarked on the large number of well-to-do bachelors in Omaha: “They are very nice fellows, too, in the main,” she said, ‘“and I'm sure there are plenty of nice, good giris in Omaha who would make them splendid wives, 1t is my opinion, and it is founded on observation and reading, that instead of retarding their Pprogress in 1ife, as many young men think, marriage only opens up new tields, suggests new possibilities and encourages them to ef- forts which eventually push them forward in their life's work., This, of course, on the supoosition that they get the mate hcaven intended for them.” 40, no, 1 would not dare name any of them,” she added. *'You can easily find out who they are.” The prominent bachelors of Omaha are not hard to find. One of the most prominent, probably, 18 Herbert N. Jewett, resident rtner of the Howell Lumber company. r. Jewett is considered the catch of tho season. Aun excellent busiuess man, he hus au income far beyond the needs of the most fastidious girl in Omaha. He has allowed about forty mmers to glide peacefully over his head, d they have effected him so lightly that s face aud manner belie them, It is con- pidered o mystery by his friends that he is mot married, for e is a prime favorite with whe ladies, of whose society he is very fond, and 18 reputed to bo a great adwmirer of children, Mr. Jewett lives and dresses well, and is very popular umouf the men. It seems, however, that he is a confirmed bachelor, #Joe” Woodward, as he is popularly Xnown, is @ resplendent star in Omaha bachelorhood. Mr. Woodward is the ad- mirable crichton of Omaha, 8 tasteful dresser, polished in manner, a graceful gancer and an extremely intelligent man. He is distinctively a ladies man, but is also very popular with the men, although they that he is fifty-two align him by sayinj Years Rl new but this is out of years old and bald-neaded, Pure envy. 4 Major Charles Potter, the United States Lclvil engineer in charge of the Missouri river improvements at Omaha, is 8 browmi- nent batcholor—in fact, the father of Omaha bachelors. Grave of demeanor, though geu- il in bis own set, the major is not much flvenlo the joys and frivolities of society, @ dresses well, and spends his income lib- erally with his friends. Ho is somewhat of an enigma even to his best friends, who think he should have been married long AR, The geniul and well known Doc Haynes of Boyd's opera house, is another mau who has not dared to venture on the uncertain seas of matrimony. 8.

A Coming Wedding. Engagements with the conscquent ex- change of rings and protty promises are as thick as blackberries in Juhe, The men and maidens scenting weddings in the near fu- ture find capital for conversation in every tuing, from therelative stead fastness and ca- pacity for loving of the interested parties, to the cost and style of the trousseau, that is to make the bride, if possible, a shade more be- witching. Among the rumored society engagements is that of Miss Maude Noteware to Mr. C. Wiil Hamilton. Miss Noteware will be re- membereu by the people of Omahaas a young lady of manifold accomplishments,” rare sweetness of character and a spirituello inter- esting face. The bride to be is at preseut in Eurone, and the exact date of the wedding, *| | wineh will occur sometime during the autumn, is not yet decided u A Lemon Part On Friday evening, out of compliment to Miss Sage and Miss Maude Woolwort h, Miss Dewey gave alemon party, which was as unique and delightful as her entertainments invaribly are. This particular fashion of pleasing is one of the fads of Gotham’s 400, and was introduced by Mrs. Willie Vander- biltin New York. On each invitation read @ request fora lemon, and for the uninitiated it were well to explain the mothods. The guests entered duly with uheir lemons, and were shown to the back drawing roow, where a phalanx of judges, Mrs. Dewey, Mrs. Hor- buch, Mrs. Bourko und Mrs, Rollns, counted the seeds of oach lemon, and to the one who happily had the largest number was syarded the prize, a handsome gold scarf 1o the oue having the least was given a box of lemon-colored, lemon-flavored candy, made smart with a huge yellow bow. Later, the lemons were all squeczed in a bowl and the united number of seeds was put to a guess, the one hazarding nearest the number in this instance receiving a cnamois bag us & reward for his_cleverness. The young women weregowned in yellow, or yel- low and white, the drawing rooms were trans- formed into bowers of golden-rod, the re- freshmonts were lemon-colored ices and creams, .with lemonade and a punch made from the lemons squeezed in the early even- ing. The whole world of young people was there, and on the whole the sunniest effect possible after mghtiall was the resuit. An Evening at High-Five, Mes. John P, Williams, who is a socia power amoug those who aro fortunate enough to be remembered as frionds and ac- quaintances, gave another of her delightful card parties at her home, 1505 Binney street, on Monday evening.

Hodges that of Mousieur Cnambly, Hayden Richardson that of Albert De {lleul and Netherton Hall that of Jean. ‘The cast was distributed smong the players with a consid- erable degroe of fitness .K:r the parts and a very clever peformance was the result. Sixty delighted flu\c witnessed the affair and were liberal in sheir applause wherever it was werited, Miss Mabel Balcombe, gowned in white with some soft stuff about the open throat that becomingly framed ber piquante face, acted the part of tiie ingenue with a vi and complacency that was very charming. Mr. Hodges, a8 Monsicur Chambly, was capital, his lines a part of himself, he put an amount of spirit_and zest _in his impersona- tion that won for hiw the place as lion of the evening. Mr. Hayden Richardson as Albert De Beiux was also admirable. He was very easy and natural, ahd has a most engaging voice.
