The one particular event of tho week will be the roception and military ball which the Omaha Guards will give Tuesday ovening at Washington hall.

There is the resume of a very quiet week in soclety. “A busy week,” sighs the duenna, shaking her head in gloomy foreboding at the prospect of a hurd worked Season. HA jolly week with just enough going on to make life worth living and not enough to make death seem a welcome relief,”” says the second season girl with a blissful sigh of an- . _ticipation and remembrance ~HA profitable week," s ‘woman. who has been working like the pro- verbial nwlors to make the Catholic abazaar and hospital sale at Mrs, Lake's a success. They succeeded and no wonder. tho charitable Graceis more n boon than beauty of fea- ture. The girlof the time has got an inkling of this significant truth and is industriously and intelligently making personal tests of it. Those of them who are Ly entitled to be called wise make these tests in the open air; in other words, they take judicious outdoor exercise. The pre form of it does mot make so much difference, so long as it is kept Within rational limits an 2 system- atically, und, above all, with undeviating reg- ularity. To'bo willowy, sinuous, serpentine —that is the idea of superlative gras nd to attain it in walk the head must be kept tirm, the movement must come fr the hips. this way there will be no tossing or shaking of the skirts, and tho swaying, undulating motion at the waist will emphasize the coveted serpentine effect. For the most effective cul- tivation of this undoubted charm walking is facile princeps, as it brings the muscles in fairly uniform action. The undulaticns by the head, chest and torso in @ verti lane are not uul{) productive of Hogarth' fias ot beauty, but tend to perfect physical health, Grace is such an indeseribable thing that negatives aid in the definition. Itis not graceful to walk on the heels, to take long strides, or to raise the foot from the ground more than two inches: it 1s not graceful to stump or to lay the foot down with a defiant or resounding noise; it is not graceful to squaro the shoulders, soldier fashion, or to set the clbows nkimbo, as in driving; it is not graceful to hurry, hustle or fuss, for speed is not conducive to grace or motion, save among thoroughbrs Another foe of grace is self- consciousness, The really pleasing, graceful, gracious womau rises above her raiment, and once her toilet is completo she gives no more __thought to it. The Briggs Reception. |, Mrs, Clinton H. Briges and Mr, Henry Briggs gave a beautiful reception Wednes- day evening at the Millard, which in wmany respects deserves to be classed among the charming receptions of tho year, Society having had a vespite from the round of pleasures which were crowded into the past fortnight, came out in large numbers and were more than compensated by the charm of the occasion, the brightness aud brilliancy of the evening. 3 The long residence of Mrs. Briggs in Omaha and the position occupied by tho lato Judge Briggs, coupled with the popularity of her son, was certain of bringingout the "old residents of the city and the young society people, 4 combination which alvays insures a delightful termination o u veception, kettlo drum or card |mr({ Much of the preliminary work of the re- coption devolved upon Mr, Henry Briggs, Whoso association with the club 1fo of Now York fitted him particularly tounaertake the minutize of a “crush,” which this was.

The long line of receiving people which usually distinguishes the big reception, was in thic case studiously ignored, Mrs, Briggs and hor son reoerving the guests in the large drawing room facing south. A pleasant innovation was noticed at tho reception which future entertamers might do well to remember, Heretofore the ‘cloak rooms have been on eitherside of the hull- way east of the large parior, guésts being compelled to traverse the whole length of the corridor before reaching the disrobing rooms. Mr. Briggs, realiziug this inconvenience, had the cloak rooms . changed to the floor above, reached by the elevator, and it was one of the pleasant feat- ures of the evening which recerved much favorable comment, The reception rooms, consistin, suite of parlors, were vory protuly decorated with palis and ferns, while beautiful roso bowls filled with cut flowers ornamented tho wantels and tal ‘The greatest amount of was B0 e, in the of the | mata friends of dancing ball, which was the dining room.
