IN THE NEW YEAR'S WHIRL. Soclety Plunges With More Than Ordinary Interest. WISHES FOR THE NEW EPOCH. The Luncheon of Mesdames. Ring- wall and Chambers—The “Buds' at the Third Cotillion; Mres. Wyman's Witchery —Ete. God spred the Old. The crowding memories of a dear old Year curled round the hoarts of any number of us on Tuesday night, when, with a bumper raised to our lips, we gayly wel- comed the coming of 1800, With all tho light laughter and high voic ing o1 good wishes there would come a little ache in the throat at the recollection of some days, some hours that we would give all time to recall, acar, gono delights that illum- ine tho past months with a sweetness im- possible to forget, On the whole, & roview of the year be- speaks for the most of us a lion's share of bappiness, Health, the waerewithal to clothe ourselves becomingly and a certain meemly galety, have esqured us, To be sure there have been odd hours when pas- sion has claimed us and we have loved or hated with the doors of our souls thrown wide opon, the pain in beth instances being equaliy hard and unremitting. But they are a part of the past now and we would not have it otherwise. The sky has grown gray for somo of the men, because Clarrissa smilod aslant on a rival; but comfort comes in the thought, that Clarrissa is getting a little sere aud there are newer beauties coming on. Heaven has secmed desirable as a home to many of the maids, owing to the unbecoming- ness of » gown or the lack of a rose for a bonnet, but new feathers will come for Faster and the society reporter this winter is 80 given to saying pleasant things thut the mirror has taken an aid de camp of comfort. So, on the whole it was a pardonaplo trem- ble that unsteadied our voices when we bade the old year God speed snd welcomed the new. May 1590 hold as many dances for you, geutle reader a8 may picase your feet: as many dinners and luncheons as may please your taste; as much music of honest praise may please your ears; as much glittering gold as 1t may pleaso your fingers to reach ;lnrl'.ltlnfl as much love as your hearts can old. Monday's Reception. Mrs. Dundy’s handsome house which lends ftself readily to entertuinments both large small and was beautified with any amount of flowers on Monday evening the occassion of Miss Dundy's reception. Every possible place in hall, dining room and reception room was made bower-like with tropical green. In the south rooms, the bay window was ed with graceful trailing similax into an attractive arbor whero a famous punch was famously served by two belles in blue, Coffee found its devotees in yet another corner, while the conceutrated sweetnass of the Arabian nights was available in the softly-lighted dining room. 'he table was decorated with o bowl of American beauty roses resting on pink gauze of an exquisite shade. Smilax in lightly-wound garlands wreathed the edge, whilo the candles in silver candelabra cast little becoming lights and shades on the faces of the pretty women in groups of threos and fours, From 7 until 9 o’clock carriages deposited their brightly-costumed burdens and, as the heavy doors swung quickly back to admit them, a_breath of the warm, perfumed, ic-laden air from ithin made the searching cold of the night more apparent. The orchestra, stationed under the stairs, played one captivating selection after another, tending with the general charm to make good night, so quickly come, a regular bete uoir, A number of young peoplo stobped after- ward for a titlo informal dance which they enjoyed tremendously .

On a table covered with a mirror and wreathed with holly, was a bowl of punch so well and 8o subtly browed as to cause all other punches during 1800 to pale into insipidity by comparison, The whole affair was decidedly swageer, the substan- tial part of the luncheon being delicious and perfectly seeved. The sweets were in the way of birds' nests of spun sugar with c s and claret-ice frozen in the form of oggs, together with all manner of dainty cakes. Mrs. Ringwalt, becomingly gowned and Mrs. Barker looking very handsome, re ceived the guests in the draw i room, Mrs. Chambers doing noorable duty in the dining room, looking a picture and saying all m ners of pleasant things.

On New Yoar's day Mr. Clement Chaso made adeparture from the ordinary routine with un exceptional opportunity for a fine smack of good fellowship in asking the young business men of Omaha to spend & pleasant quarter of an hour with him. His charming home was fittingly decorated with the usual Christmas greens. The pic- ture mouldings were outlined with holly and tho pictures wreathed with the beanti- ful scarlet and green. In the dining room the table, linen cov- ered, was decorated with holly and fruit. Sulad, coffee, punch and cigars promoted the bon camaraderie and, in truth, the smoke was ouly cut by quick wit and ‘sharp st all of the 1nvited guosts paid thewr , while many of those enforced to stay away sent compliments aud regrets. A.New Year's Night Recention. Mrs. George W. Ames' reception New Year,s night was one of the handsomest of the season. A house never looks more at- tractive than when, in the heart of winter- time, the floors ave canyas-covered snd tho rooms flower-trimmed. It does away with all ldea of winter and dull days, substitut- ing 1nstead the lignt airy charm of summer, When to this are added a wealth of flowers, music, bare shoulders and arms with the va. rigated beauty of the women's gowns, the ;l\uamn is complete and the result enchant- ng. Palms aud the tall rubber plant were banked about the stairs and filled the open fire-places. Roses and hyacinths decorated the mantel pieces. Smilax wreathed the chan- deliers and bung in graceful fringes in the arched doorway. ‘There were two buge bowls of rarely beau- tifui orchids that made conversution when- ever the guest neared them, while roses and fairy lamps, in odd corners, made happy touches of color, Mr. and Mrs. Ames were assisted in re- ceiving by Mr. and Mra. 5. P, Morse and Mr. and Mrs. Lockwood. Mrs, Ames wore a beautiful gown of black fallle combived with black satin brocaded with flowers in exquisite colors, a V-shaped bodice with point lace and gold beads about her throat. Mrs, Morse, a handsome gown of pale pink faille elaborately trimmed with exquisite lace, diamonds. Mrs. Lockwood an exueadlnqb becoming gown of yellow brocaded satin combived ;vonh black velvet, decollete bodice and gola ady, From 8 until 10 o'clock the guests were coming and going after exchanging the wishes and Yrauy compliment of the sezson. After that time, dancing commeaced and the scene was animated to a degree. ‘The order of dances hung in the back drawing room, & blue satin bauner, with lancers, waltzes and the rest in dainty gold lettering, Punch was available duricg the evening while in the supper room a handsome colla- tion was so well served as to avoid the vul- gar crowding, the echoof which reaching the hostess' ears, is inclived to take the points of light from the sky of success. ‘There were some notably fetching gowns among the guests who numbered the usual share of the 400 seen at the m ‘women were ia full or demi- me returo on the part of t many young women to white, which, with the dainty suu and blues, goes 80 far toward pleasmg 10 oyes, par ocousequence, making & ball a triumph, Music's Witchery. Mrs, Wyman of Chicago, sang her way straight to the hearts of an Omaha audience #galn on Monday eveuning, at the Apollo club. Her beautifully cutivated voice is so satis fying, full, rich and melodious, with & sym- pathetio timbre that strikes & responsive chord in eyery wusic-loving soul. There is no call for poetical ligense with Mrs. Wyman, 8s there is so apt 1o be with artists, As a woman, she is conso hor voice being winning and fascimating to & degree, On Tuesday Mrs, Garneau entertainod her charmingly at luncheon, with covers laid for eight. Tho table, polished to mirror-like reflec- tion, was partially covered a rose embroid ered lunch cloth, on_wlich rested a basket of ferns, The bottles of “fizz" were on tiny silver trays, the cut-glass, the silyer and the exquisite china, comprising & picturs that rifles one of descriptives, The menu was de- licious, and when, affer luncheon, somo more people came 1n, Mrs. Wyman sat aown y and naturally as tho piano and thrilled all with hor power. One_selection fol- lowed another from the apparently limities repertoire, from grave to gay, in sweet su cossion, carrying the hearors into a_state of nervous rapture with a power that no lly-uneducated pen like mine can or ought to attemot to describe. In the promise of her early return to Omaha, there is con- solation for having known her and her voice. To lack her always. were home sickness in- dee Those who sat down to luncheon were: Mrs. Garneau, Mrs. Wyman, Mrs. Lander, Miss Balcombe, Mr. neali, Mr, Lyons of Washington, Mr. Hodges, and Mr. Prerre Garneau, The guests who came in afterward were: Mrs, Kilpatrick, Mrs. Savage, Miss Hallo- way, MraJ. it Bingwalt, M Peck, Mrs. Miss Millard, Miss Mary Millard, §115s Runa Mitlard and Mise Coor The Third Cotiliion. A flower show couldn’t have been sweeter or more thrilling than was the bud element at the cotillion on Tuesday night. “Girls to the right of one, girls to the left of one,” and each belle appareutly prettier and moro fetching than the other, No marked won- der that matrons are beginning to rocognize that it is wasting their substance in riotous living to give any attentlon to the backs of thoir gowns at these dances, so little are they seen savo at their oxits and their en- trances. It is cortainly trne in Omaha that when one is married, one's troublo begins, in tho way of an enforced sittiog out of dance: Chaperonage is the only wear and impatience dies at its birth in sight of the unalioyed ?u&p of companionship among these young olk.

The parlors and embra- sures in the hall were made bicturesque with any amount of palms reaching above one’s head, banked 8o suugly below as to do away with all thought of the earth in which they were growing. Jars of white hyacinths and narcisse lent a dainty fragrance to the air of the rooms where the prottily gowned women assembled b§fore adjourning to the canvas-covered ball Foom. New gowns were as plentiful as blackber- ries in June, pink being the predominating color iu all its shades, from the pini of a pretty woman’s ear toithe deep-rose of the heurt of a ripe watermelon.
