Whe Coming KExhibit of the Western Art Assoclation—A Week of Kensir tons. Barring a few Kensingtons, a card party or two, several charming dinners and a very pretty cotillion in Council Bluffs which at- tructed & number of Omaha buds, socicty has been in a comatose condition the past week. The quictness in the smart world duriag the week justended may nave been due to 4ho interest men have taken in politics, but one hardly likes to admit that even politics would muke any difference in the round of pleasures and festivities, which are of necess- ity part of thelifeof a fashionable wowan, The absence of the sterner sex, however, has been remarked, and per consequence, there has been a certain clement of slowness dis- cernable in tho entertainments given, Next weel all this will be changed. The elections over, aud the minds of men freed frum the strain of political excitement, there will be grelaxation and society promises to e gayer than ever since the season opencd. nyltations have been fluttering into the tard baskets of the 400 this week in large qumbers and already somo of the favorites ave an cugagement for every evening. A delightfully protty ingenue said vester- day, in talking” about " the prospects for the week: “0, dear, how I do wish I could = Mvide myself up so as to have just twice as much fun, Alveady my list is full, and yot I musttry to go to some pluce with Charley, robably to the matinee, for the dear boy has een real good 1o me since I came home from Spirit Lake. He has been unselfishness jtself, und surely I might sacrifice myself by sttending a performance at the the to show him how much I appreciate his brotherly kindness.” The domestic vocabulary is undergoing a padical change.

As to the fashionable young lady's vocabu Tary, it has a pood many English expressions ust'at present.

Juliette’ Adam in the North American Re- view) “'is the orchid amoug all feminine fiow- ers, und it is far from ber to the humble vio let to which the young French maiden has until recently been compared. I have said ntil recontly, for our humble, timid, and ushing young girl is now hardly to be found utside small provineal towns. The young irl has an enormous fiuence on e young French girl. Whenever they meet @ timid one becomes modified. The young nglish girls, with their boyish ways, their o o STt thett manner of walking — @ few conguests they have made o France, hadin no way modified the ways of our daughters —were laughed at, and no ono thought of copying them. But with the American it was another thing; she is envi- able and too often tiblo; she must therefore be initiated from afar in all that is seductive —her sincerity, her spontaneous- ess, her life—while the ' delicate charms of Frencheducation is retained. Certainly our daughters cannot pretend to reign in France and in Europe ns the young gitls reign in America, There they arc queens, and s times more, though itis very hard to apply to such bewitching persons the words ‘merciless nts.) They rulein the family, and th amily does not rule them; they rule in so- ¢ which gravitates around their plea , whoso laws, customs, and liberties hav for them exclusive protections, indulgences and fayors. And all this they uoisily “enjoy with the same ardor displayed by their athers in pursuit of wealth. The gr charm of the American girl in Europe is that she combines at once the purity of the young 7irl and the coguetry of the young mavried woman. Thus, in the old world, she is cer- tain of attracting all the ung men who have abused Jife, who are a little blase and who, to be captivated, have need of what they call du montant.”” After Thoughts. In conversation the other afternoon with a very bright and interesting Omaha girl, who has Just returned from a four-months' trip abroad, the talk drifted tothe condition of women on the other side of the water, and so interesting were her observations that they are here re-produce “Above all the beautiful and varied scenes with which [ was entertained and instructed during my rocent trip abroad,” said she, “therc are few that linger in my mind, not because of thele wonderful beauty, nor yet, again, because of their history, but owing to the sad, quiet story, told without lips or tongue, but leaving an impression from whicn one cannot escape. O, happy American girls! How I wish every one of them could » for themselves what 1 have seen, that they may realize what a blessed country thelr's is, in & _country where a woman is re- spected for the sake of her sex alone, and where more aud more she may advance according to her strivings, to.any position she may destze. As Awel s, our girls have a field before them which, to improve them- selves, they need not exchange with any na- tion on earth *“I'o begin with, the German girl is not in- dependent; associations from the cradle tend to make her dependent. She goes out accom- pavied and ever watched and if the regular routine of daily life is departed from she is termed peculia Her school life is no better than ours, and the advantages offered only excel, in a few instances, in the study of lan- guages, and as regards a good, practical, sen- sible education she does uot receive it at school.

Those who are best informed as to the matrimonial future of Omaha predict a line of marriages that will extend even farther than Council Bluffs, principally among the debutantes of '88 and 89, *Tis even said tho fever has reached some of our most popular bachelors and that they contemplate soon en- tering that most puzzling of “‘walled cities.’ Many engagements have already been an- noineed, but more are soon to follow. Among those that will prubably come to light this season, that of a petite blonde to a former well known Omahia man who now resides in the west will probably head the list. Fol- lowing close on this comes another blonde who is to marry an Englishman. A stunning and popular debutante of last season, living not a thousand miles from Omaha, t is said, been captured by a set of the ever fascinating brass buttons of the United States army. Then a girl who is a belle, tall, dark and “handsome, will marry a man of half a million, while another who also holds gold in her small haud is claimed by un nomme Francais Quite a_romance enshrouds a son and daughter of Omaha. They are both blonde and_ their affection, 'tis said, began in child- hood. Another man whose days alkio have been passed among us and who was at the head of one of the most pleasant of - last sea son's clubs, will wed oneof our brightest girls when she returns to town. At the risk of many heartbreaks, we make public the intentions of two extremely popu- r men who, though not exactly living here, have nevertheless been claimed by us. One is captured by an Omaha belle who is jolly and a coquette, while the other is drawn to the far east by the golden tresses and subtle fascinations of a mo charming girl, The club men will mourn the departure be- foro many moons of a well known, handson and popular society girl. She leaves us, 'tis said, for the east, wherd she has danced her- self into the heart of a not unknown and most fortunate man. And the West End isshortly to have a mar- riage in which a lumber baron figures, the flaucee being a charming member of tho smart world, whose pretty face has caused many a manly heart to beat with ater vapidity, There ate many more upon whom the finger of suspicion hias been laid, but the above ave as near being authentic as could be possible under the circumstances. A Week of Kensingtons. Monday afternoon Mrs, E. M. Morsman en- tertained a number of her lady friends at a very pretty Keningston tea, this pléasant form of social entertalnment being particu- larly commendable as a means of returning social obligations, Many of the guests brought their fancy work with them when tiged ldulged in pleasant of cards, little tables being provided for the purpose, which afterwards served as luncheon boards. The guests were Mesdames Hawlev, MeConnell, John Clarke, Jones, Westel Morseman, Sharp, Buraham, P, H.

It Dr. Johnsor were living he would be glad to admit that tea also helped to consoli- date society. The great Samuel himself would unboubtedly be a feature at a Kensing- ton, could the ladies, who usually meet at these social receptions, yield themselves to the presence of & mau, The Kensington tea seems to be an hour of the casuse. Nothing is forecast. The unex- pected may even now be at the hour, Moder- ation and serenity are the household gods. Flowers bloom in the vases but the air is not languorous with their perfume. And in the midst of these charms, the hostess, who is probably always seen at her best under such circumstauces, directs the pleasures of the afternoon, re- a L trimmed w flects the literature of the hour, shapes the aoings of the little world where she is mis- tress. And if she be_assisted as Mrs. C. E Yost was Tuesday afterioon, by an accom- plished daughter to lend interest to the oe- casion as did Miss Bertha Yost, at their pretty Kensington, then, indeed, one is lead to remark, “here is no protense but the meet- ing ground of friends.” ruests of Mrs. Yost's Tuesday were: Mesdames Curtis, Wallace, Joseph Lehmer, Wessels, Ramsey, Wakeley, Barkalow, Gree Barton, Morse, Yates, Westel Morsman, .
