Bhall Cataway Coats Be Allowed at the Cotiltion Parties?—What Do the Lady Patronesscs Say Avout It? Halloween. The world grows older aud grayer year by yeur, and, unhappily much of the poetry 18 Telegated to the past; fairy tales along with superstition, and incarnations against the powers of evil. n the old-folk lore days, when the times were full of wonder and the people densely iguorant, firmly crediting as fact that they were everywhere surrounded by an uncanny crowd of wierd spirits, it was but natural to resort {0 aay means of divination with the probuble aid of these euncmics to poace of mina, 1o go in “‘where angels fenr to tread.” It was in this wise that the practices of the eve of All Saints originated, practices that still hold favor in Scotlaud, Wales and some parts of Ireland. The unwedded of both sexes invoke the ‘power that be' by the puli- jng of Kail, burning of nuts, sewing hemp- seed, going below stairs with a lighted can- die in hand to search a murror for a future wife or husband; these, with the “‘three disties” form of divination and inuumerable other rites set forth in fetching jingle in Breno's poem, ‘Holloween,” are prac- ticed by them every twelve months, The whole tenor of the eveniug is eerie and calculuted to inspire the guests with a state of norves most liable to roceive gruesome impressions an there have been occasious of history when minds not “‘ower stroug” have yielded to the awful reacl of the imagina- tion with the sad result of “living and dying delecrit.” 1t is in the more benighted regions of any country that these evidences of mental shadow really bold a respected place, to us the customs have come filtered and purified, as the excuse for a hoydenish social evening with no thought of truth or reasou for beliefl in the tairy practices Alabdy German Halloween was celobrated variously in Omahu, Among other entertainments Thursduy ovening was & very unique affair in the way of a ‘candy german,’ given inthe Clarke row at the Misses Duryea’s. There were ten souples dancing and the favors were entirely of candy. Candy dolls, cigars, fish, canes and every conceivavle thing in sugar form. The indirect favors were appropriate to the eve of All Saiuts. Apples were arranged in tempting heaps with i girl's name ou each one and the man, of course, danced with the grl whoso name he drew. Again a_young woman was seated and a number of young men were given matches to burn for her sweet sake, the one buraing the watch without breaking the charred ghost of it, found bis reward in her company for the walts, Anothoer figure was 8o curious asto de- serve relating, Two very small upples were suspended from the chanaelier, and two men wore 1o stab at them with carving knives, the one whose skill pierced the apple ala Williawm Tell, had tne pleasure of danciug with somo chosen young woman. These with innumerable otber Halloween ices lent an added zest 0 a charming German, The dancers were: Miss Duryea, Miss Mary UDuryea, Miss Lowe, Miss ity Lowe, Mrs, Vail, Miss Miller, Miss Vashti Miller, Miss Buras, Mr. Jon Clarke, Mr, Heth, Mr. Ward, Mr. Allen, Mr. Fosbeuner, Mr. Downs, Mr. MeDougal, Mr. Messuiore, d My, Clarence Brown, us leader, Hallowe'en ar Browsell Hall This weird night of the witches was the can hardly bo imagined, The festivities bogun with a bright little farce, played by a half-dozen girls of the colleziate department, after which, attired in fancy dress and nas- querade costumes, all joined in a graud march, Then followed daucing and all man ner of appropriate games uud tricks, by which each tried to divine®her fortuue, After charade the party broke up, to un- ravel in dreams the mysteries of the great future, The Coat Makes the Man. Apropos of what one should wear, it has been whispered vetween the dying fire and early candle light that the young men of the Cotiilion club are seriously cousidering the wearing of cutaway coats instead of the con- ventional evening dress, That it is true one is disinclined to believe, but the suggestion 1s 80 appalling as to pro- voke a remonstrance. In the first place, they cannot consistently commit such a social solecism. They organ- ized their club with any amount of swagger, a list of lady patronesses that would grace the most crushing affuir of the season and u promise of something delightful in the way of dances. Now that the bravest among our young men are beginning to make visits and attend the theater in evemng dress, what in the name of all that is alamode is the use of going back to the fashion of populur dress years ago, when Omaha was distinctiy prim- itive! [t' were more forgivable to go fur- ther into the past and adopt the aboriginul paint and feathers, that, ut least, would be unique ! However, do not let us retrograde, es- pecially in a matter that custom has about as firmly established de rigeur as the use of the fork. Possibly some youug men among them have no evening dresses. Very well, wing had the first meeting la ednesday morning with some dozen mem- bers prosent. Miss Ogden has several Fronch classes in the various stages of advancement at the Paxton and her pupls are making astonish- ing progress, aithough they aro 1aclined to despair of speaking the language with the captivatiog grace of their teacher. Mrs. Bailoy’s class in physical culture claims any number of fashionablo women as its members, balancing the increased men- tality with corresponding physical exercise. Any number of society women attend re: ularly the mission, and some of the so-called butterflies are organizing a cooking school and gain a number of kind-hearted girls will meet on Monday morning at_the Pax- ton in Mrs, Cowin’s rooms to sew for the little unfortunates at the Cinld's hospitul. All of which but points the truth of “Sel mons in stones.” There is really no double entendre in this relation to the cooking school and renews any flagging faith we m have of “good in everything.” Visit'ng Americans, The Pan-Americans may be traveling through the north with the prime idea of furthering commercial relations between the scparate Americas, but it affccts an on- looker, that while in Omaha, they rather sought to establish tender relations with our belles, They were handsomely ontertained and appeared to thoroughly enjoy and appreciate the courtesy shown them, giving in return cnough honeyed smiles and pretty speoches o act as a sortof soft solderin rivetng thought to them throughout their jouracy homé On Sunday ovening part ot them were cntertained in tho manner of an informal reception at the Paxton by Mrs. Richardson, Mrs, Summers, Mrs. Cowin,Mrs. Buchanan, then, have little informal gatherings and gotas much sweetnoss out of them is they can hold; out, 1n the name of honesty, don't attempt & cotillion club, with *lady patron- essess” and all the frills, unless you are able to dress up “to your biue china.’ Sociul Virtues. 1t does not *“‘foilow 98 the night the day,” that because the ball is set rolling in Omaha ‘and all goes merry as a marriage bell,’ that the young women in society are all given over to the dizzy whirl, On the contrary there are myriads of im- proving things that go to engage their atten- tion, but when and how is a nutural occasion for wonder. Yet, marvel as you may, they magically make time to encourage the reaches of intellect in the following wis Miss Rustin has organized two clusses with the object of an abridged course of reading on “Some Influences to be Traced in Modern English poetry,” with the followihg topics: 1.

Mr. and Mrs. Birachvogel nhave organized @ highly interesting German class, which weets at their home Monaay evenings. Their plan of {mmediate study is the reading of Sehillor's “Marie Stuary’ with Mr. Hitch- cock to assist in the explanation und to light up the darker corners of the poet's meaving for those wkose German is yet in its infaucy. “Phe members are Mr. and Mrs. G, M.

A engaging evening was the result, with music and conversation, to which was lent 4 piquant charm in the thought: “*Remember the hour is your own, To-morrow that hour will be flown.” And the northern belles and southern beaux wade a famous showing of respective coquetry . ‘'he remainder were delightfully enter- tammed at Mr. Chase's cozy little home on Park avenue, where the Mrs. Wheeler, Mrs. Dundy, Miss Brown, Miss Dawey, Miss Williams, Miss Orchard, Miss Hoaglana, Miss Laura Hoagland, Miss Dundy, Miss Luna Dundy, and Miss Baum assisted Mrs, Chaso in winning them to the belief thut Omaba bas its share of grace, wit and beauty.
