THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: NOVEMBER 23, 1890--SIXT THE GAYETIES OF NOVEMBER ,‘L-' Doings of the Bmart World the Past Week. SOMETHING ABOUT A WOMAN'S CLUB \ Beautiful Reception at the Millard Kensington Teas and Kettle drums—With a Marrmage or Two to Lend Interest. The week just closed was one of events on & magnificent scale. Weddings fit for prin- cesses have been solemnized, Moaistes, flor- 1sts, caterers and decorators have had their fogenuity taxed to the utmost, The most splendid effects, the most novel designs, the rarest fancics and fabrics have been sought after and the question of expense not so much #6 hinted at, Seldem has society besn kept so *on the €0 How it was rushed toattend Miss Lari- aer's marriage and the musicale at the Lin- Inger gallery, both on the same evening! Then the next day was the Metz and Pomy tuptials and in the evening tho Barton re- ception at the Millard, which brought out the big wigs of the sociul world. Truth, society will need Sunday to t up” in, s the darkies say, for the present week will be even move crowded with big events than the past has been, Rest is necessary, since the ballset a-rolling #0 rapidly snows no sign of abating its ve- Jocity, Kau contraire it may be expected to fncrense as the season grows older. Perhaps the more briiliant of the wed- #ings are over, but there are several still to come in which fnterest is on the qui vive, which will be consummated with the dawn- fng of Easter Sunday. In the meantime the smart world will find Jsbundant opportunity to enjoy itself at big receptions, afternoon parties, kettledrums d card seances which are promised for the mmediate future, An enthusiastic woman champion insists Wuat the young women of our day are much superior to thoseof our grandmothers’ day, and to illustrate one phase of her meaning she relates an incident that occurred at a popular seasido resort, last summer. A party had wandered out on & rocky headland that ushed into the sea. It was mude up of irreg- lar masses of rock, separatod by gaping chasms, into which the incoming tide swirled _pngrily, One young woman, who was just heuyerage Amorican girl, bright, pretty and pleasing, stood on the edgé of one of these chasms and aunounced her intention of jump- ing ucross. 1t measured four or five feet in width, and ten feet, below the tido was boiling ever subn.crged rocks. One of the men who hud begua to assume protectorate airs over er, expostulated. She mevely laughed, daved him to follow her; there was a glimpse of white skirts and a palr of trim ankles, and then from the other side of the chasui she faced about smilingly and repeated her chal- lenge. Would the young woman of other days, who wore clustering ringlets, who twisted their necks and stooped at the waist, bave donesuch thingst They couldn't if they had wanted to. 1a thero a fleld in Omaha for a woman's lub! For some time past the question has n discussed in the literary circles of the | ('l(ly and while there is a great divergance of opinion the majority of the ladies who have ® had the matter broached to them have thought the field sufMiciently lurge for such an dnstitution, Some evenings since Mrs, W. H. Hanchett who is directing the work of four classes in Ahe city, brought the matter to a_focus by “proposing to her class in English literature hat if the members would pay $1 per month toward the renting of a rom centrally lo- cated, and would, in addition, present to the club one book a month, insidé of a year the organization would have a very creditable li- brarvand at the same time n placev hich would be distinctly their own. The propost tion was received very favorobly, but as yet no definite action has been taken toward the formation of such a club. Several of the ladies in Mrs. Hanchett's Wednesday class which is engaged m the study of English history are enthusiastic upon the subject and will lend their assistance in asubstantial manner, While it is |lmr'ly a matter for pleasant @iscussion, there is & growing tendency on the part o{mun[y philanthropic women to~ or- lub which shall contemplate all the ntages enjoyed by the sterncr sex. It would be very pleasant for ladies on shopping expeditions, who could not got back to their homes for luncheon, to drop 1uto their club with the certainty of meeting con- mial people, who for a brief time would orget the delights and charms of dress for =y ghe additional delight of a pleasant discus- +XMsion on Shakespeare, Browning, Swinburne or the latest fads of the hour, whic y semllu 80 thoroughly _ei Theosophy, hristian Science, and may be Dr. Koch's great discovery might find herein warm ad- vocates or enthusiastic antagonists. It could be made an educator, a power for good in he community. But the question naturally uggests itself, is there a field for & woman's elub in Omahal Mr. and Mrs. Dean Entertain. So many card parties have been given this season that it would be impossible to decide Wwhich one deserves the palm for the greatest success. But in the matter of delightful rtics, that given by Mr. and Mrs. Charlos A. Dean, 3709 Jones stroet, Tuesday evening, leads by reason of its unconventionality and the genuine hospitality shown by the host and hostess, “The house was very nicely decorated in Bonor of the occasion amd a cheery air por- vaded it, which was very rofresning to the guests, many of whom, since the season ba’fun, have been constantly ‘‘on the go.”” [he first prize for ladies was wou by Mrs, B.

Handsome palms were placed advantageously in the parior, dining room, library and along the square hall. Chrysan- themiims added their beauty throughout the House giving a kaleidoscopic effect to the scene which was charming in the highest degree. The bow window on the south in which the ceremony was performed was a veritable bower of beauty made so by the artistic work of the decorator and the florist. Above, ropes of smilax were interlaced while on the'sides of the deep embrasure palms and ferns were placed with here and there u stand of chrysanthemums to give a touch of color to the'room, In front of the bauk of greon stood the priedieu covered by a_ beau- tiful white Persian lamb's rug, an effective contrast to the deep tone of the background. A very preity innovation and one which will grow 1n favor, was the presence of the mand olin elub, which played the songs of the troubadours, and ushered in_the bridal party by rendering in a very effective manner the weddiug march from ““Lohengrin.” A preity incident of the ceremony was the part played by two littlo cousims of the bride, who, as the bridal party entered the room, formed an_ aisle up the center by long stream: ers of broad white ribbon.

'She also wore a natty jacket lined with silk, while & close fitng toqgue adorned her head, - She car- vied a Paris coat, making a per- fect ensemble.

METZ AND POMY, Last Thursday afternoon there was a join- ing in wedlock of represantatives of two of the leading German families of this city, The young people had been acquainted with one another from childhood. The bond, there- fore, which was cemented on Friday was but the uatural consequence of a reciprocal af- feetion which became more heartfelt as the couple approached maturs Thegroom was Mr. Charles Metz, son of F'red Metz, the re- tired and well known brewer. He, with his brother ¥red, as was forms y the case with his father aud uncle, now con- stitute the well known brewing firm of Metz Brothers. The bride was Miss Augusta Pomy, daugh- tor of Mr. Gustave Pomy, the senior member of the well known soda and mineral water manufacturing firm of Pomy & Segelke of this The interest of ml-{lx‘sl wishes of many friends have been centered in and en- tertaiued for this young woman who, on the day of her bridal, was to be envied because of the gifts and accomplishments which both uature and rt bad secured to her. The marriage ceremony was performed at the residence of Mr, William Segelke, the business partner of the bride's father, and greater interest in the event could scarcely have been taken even by the parents of the bride, It was & great day in the Segelke household, the host and bLostess leaving nothing undone to cause the cvent long to be remembered. As a consequence the parlors were hung with flowers, and amia the frag- rance of the June time the twain were made one, Rev. Turkle, pastor of Kountse Memo- rial Lutheran church, oficiatin g, A fter the ceremony there was a short fes- tal procession to the residence of the bride's parents, adjoining, where the bridal banquet was spread, Several hours were consumed in discussing the imperial menu supphied by Mr. .

The piece is a beautiful oune and 1|«Ini{l~h'lllr trains will Jong be reminders of the happy ~asion on which it was played, Owing to the wide acquaintance of the con- tracting parties, it was necessary to confine the festal features of the occasion to theirim- mediate families. Accordingly, only the fol- lowing were present: Mr. and Mrs, Gustave Pomy, parents of the bride; Misses Anna and Ida Pomy, sisters of the bride; Mr. Fred Metz, sr., father of the groom; Mrs. Fred Metz, sr.: Mr, and Mrs. R.

It was after the style of the punch bowls when such things scended from generation to generation, It was with the idea of this descent that the father bestowed the gift upon his son. The bridal couple took the afternocon train and wiil return December 1, visiting in the meantime Chicago, Milwaukee, New York and St. Louis, The guests danced till midnight in honor of the happy pair.
