THE RECEPTION OF THE SEASON " G FOR THEIR FAST Luncheons and High-Five Alternate in Chusing the Fiying Hours— Movem s of Soclety’s Vo- taries— Local Gossip. Reflections, Lent is coming on apace with its show of ashes and repentance and time to spare for things left undone duringthe winter. The Rgood resolves of the new year are worn out or forgotten long since and Ash Wednesnay will offer an occasion for another soul's ‘wash day for the women i society. Kven if & deep 1¢ligious fervor does mot hold and sustain them they have an amount of precious time not covered with the woof and ‘Wwarp of engagements, to use or abuse. The flying heels, the joy-flushed cheeks, the dimpled shoulders have had their day, why not give the brains a chance? et this timo of fasting for the body and conscience-crowdea heart be a feast for thought and the mind, let reason dethrono Folly for the nonce and the resdlt will be smpensation cnough. Intelligence, when it does not color to a us hlug, is exceedingly becoming und it is uch more wholesome than late hours the draamy swing of the music, the s, the dizzy evolutions of the dance and all the delightful intoxicating things that go 10 make up the season, Church is restful and satisfying, but it takes up less than an hourof each day, little sucrifices of sweet humility can be 'inter- Jarded but there will still’ be time for an smount of reading and it is well to reflect how much one can enrich thestore of knowl- edge in forty dnys Union Olub Reception. Winter occasionally . gives our memory a gentle reminder of a dead and gone October by such a night as Thursday, and the full witchery of it only overcomes us when com- hined with flower-scents and music of » ma« ture to make time and his growing gray a matter of indiffercnce. Given such charm- ing weather and an unlimited quantity of palms and graceful green growing things to gether with roses, azaleas, hyacinths, daffo- dils and rooms full of anunated buds and Dblossoms that enchain the gaze and actually Jead admiration captive, what but the suc- cessful consummation of an entertainment gould be looked for. ‘The union club had all this at their recep- ®on on Thursday evening combined with the Bt artistic taste and rare exccutive ability necessary to properly arrange aund ca such an affair to 8 happy finish, Nothing can more prettily convey an idea of the sweet turmoil of flowers—bright ened ‘beauty and the youthful enjoyment of the rythmic music,than the condition of the floor near the close of the reception in the room devoted to dancing. Roses literally covered its uvas surface and the final waltz no doubt crushed from them their last swoet breath, Aladdin with his famous Jamp could not huve more completely meta- orphosed the every day manish attractive- ess of the club rooms into their flower decked summer charm on this occasion. The reception room was made gay with generous bunchos of roses crowding the anaotel, shelves and writing desks, while ypansies and ferns were banked in all the worners. Smilax trailed in graceful fringes about tho pictures and chandeliers, and the harmonious colors of the walls made an &flective background rfor the delicate green. 1n the music room the piuno was remade of flowers, and couches and chairs hero invited rest and conversation, nway from dances and get where one could TGV full yiew of the movieg panorama of B Another cozy nook for tetesa-tete b the lunding by the elevator, where ugs, easy chairs and beeomingly shaded amps made even a mild firtation possible. fLhe general dining room was given over to glncing. bewng canvas covered, here the lecorations were unrivalled. The corner or- dinarily devoted to the office was like a, transplanted bit of green from the south, a ery tanglo of palms, ferns and rare exotics, 'he sideboard was covered with orchids and their grsceful trailing green and the heaters ;Ild deep window seats ‘were filled and anked with tenissimus and parti-colored nzaleas. The supper was lrnnged in the billiard m with one long table and round and alf-round ones about the sides of 1t close to the walls, Roses in ull their enchanting variety, in a :nnunuou stretch on the main table, held ne eyes with delighted admiration being ar- rauged 1n group after group of beauty. Thesalads and ices arranged in flower forms ; re almost as atiractive as the real posies. orvice was 80 good us to do aw motirely with the botnersome pus crowding that detracts so wuch from the pleasure of large entertainment.

Three cheers and a tiger for the ‘As sembly’ that on Friday night made its final bow for a year at least to the social world of Omaha. A brillianv farewell it was too, shining success followed in the .wake of each dance from start to finish and all went merry as a marriage bell. There 18 something sweetly rewinigcent in the corridors of the Millard hotol it has been o social camping ground this loug vime and the very air vibrates with love nonsence oalculated to guinken the heart beats. Palms and ferns smartened the odd corpers in the same oid way, roses lent their beauty of color ana fragrance in the parlors as they were wont to do. The corridors and stairs were in that cosy half lignt that invites confidence and receives it 100 as time has shown. The ouly diflerence on Friday night was that the women were prettier and more fetching than usual, the men more_attentive, the punch more insinu-y| ating and the music wmore ailuring, par con- sequence, the ball was a long lapse of un~ qualificd rapture, In such a garden of loveliness to gather a nosegay were simple enough, but to chooso a siugle posy were to put one's self iu the pesition of Paris, Ouly here the awarding of the apple for beauty must of necessity bo done blind!y owing to the digzle of bright- ness that will get into the eves and unsteady the head.

Their many friends availing themselunos of the opportunity filled the spacious and richly furnished house to the furthermost reaches, and the scene was ammated to o degree. Eiectric lights on the lawn sent 8 of welcome to the guests while they till far away, and as they came nearer their cars were caressed by the exqusito strains of musio. The wterior, which on ordinary occasions leaves nothing to be desired, was like a scons of enchantment. Gigantic palins and rubber vlants stood in tropical confusion about the hall, acreening from view the musicians and transforming the embrasure where they stood into a bower of beauty. Similax and roses with their own sweethess the arches of the doors depended from the chandcliers. A s banked the hearths and orchids, freosia and primnroses adorned the mantelpieces and piano. An_enormous vase of American beauties standing near a window through which a flood of elec light fell on them bringing out their coior and perfection, was like nothing so much as a study of rcses in moonlight. Azalens, roses and tennissimus constitutea the decorations of the other rooms, while the dining rovm was made gay with narcissi, byacintus and jonquils in every available place. The flower of attraction here, however, was a composite variety that has reached perfection and popular favor this winter in Omaha social circles and seems to have more devotees than any other. It is deep in color with a combined fruity and odor, and is commonly called “puuch.” wreathed with swmilax served as the adornment of one table and drew universal and pleased attention. The supper was served above stairs in a rectangular room literally hung with lace, smilax and roses. ‘I'he table was hid- den by ascarf of pink sills, on a cloth of Linen ornamented with dainty drawn work. The center piece was abowl of French roses, while graceful feathery ferns and any quantity of hyacinths and lilies-of-the-valley were scattered over it with artistic care 8. seirode pudding in molds was an un and toothsome feature of the supper.
