THE OMAHA DAII SOCIETY IN MID-SEPTEMBER. Woddings Which Will Ocour During the Ocming Week.

Cards will continue to be a strong attraction for those who care not for the mazy round and the intellectually nclined will take up courses of reading in keeping with their do- sire to shine in the domaiu of culture, Tho presence of a number of socioty girls from different cities throughout the country will add largely to the pleasure which is now anticipated, and with tho debutantes to give lustro to the doings of society tho season ought to be one of the most brilhant ia the history of the metropolis, Souie town houses in tho fashionable quarters aro alrcady open and moro aro being made ready for their occupants. Tho crowds have deserted tho seaside places, so eastern correspondents inform us, and whilo some of the mountain botels will remain oven until October, there aro but fow people remawing in them, and_every week, indeed. every day, will seo the returning summer truants in'zoodly numbers. Those who have country places near the city and who havo been away on trips are mostly back, and those who are loitering will not be absent much longer. * {Shall men danco in the next century? 18 the question which is asked by leaders “of fashion nowadays,” says a correspondent of the Now Yori P’ress. Kvery vear sees fewer and fewer of dancing men. ~ And cach season it1s harder and barder to find leaders for cotillions and germans. This year many very smact lndies are dancing together at the func- tions which take place at summer hotels, and 1t is not considered a breach of etiquotte or a lapso of manners, or a jump iuto the uncon- ventionalitics for women to do so. Wher- ovor theso smart ladics have been scou dancing together at these summer hotels th wero invaribly as- sorted in couples that were utterly unlike in appearanco und stylo. A very tall, dark brunette would choose a little fat blonde for her partuer, whilo in turn a tall, stately Plondo would bear upon ber arm a delicato little brunetto who looked as if sho could not speak up for herself to save her life, and would not by any chance venturo to take step alone. Thus it is with women. They take things as they go with remarkabie cquanimnty. and have a little kind of tactand good taste which enable them to make up the breach in such o way that 1o one ever sus- pects that they have lust anything. A “brown luncheon” is quite the nowest mode of entertainment. ‘The menu cards are done in brown sepia, with figures from tho “Brownies' in_one corner. These also do duty as souvenirs. Brown and white china are used, and the te napkins and table- cloth ara decorated with a broad band of drawn work donein brown. Refreshments consist of tho brown meat of turkey, veal loaf, brown bread, chocolate and ‘marble cake, chocolato ices und coffee and choco- late. Next week will_innugurate the September weddiugs, tho marringe of Miss Irone Moore. daughtor of Mr. and_Mrs. C. B.

The play is the work of Simms & Pottitt, who also wrote “The Romany Rye,” “Hands Across the Sea” and *Hood- man' Blind The story of the play tells of the adven- tures of a young civil engineer, Jack Walton by name, who is hounded by Robert Carlton, niaster of tho Carlton Iron works, and his tool Humpy Logan, for mareying the village school mistress, Hoster Thornbury, who is in reality tho rightful heir to the Carlton Iron works. By false swoaring Walton is sent to prison, where, after six yocars, ho escapes with a fellow convict, Jim Bur- loigh, Returning to his homo in the dead of the night he is surrounded by the officers of the law, but escapes and_makes his way to the iron works, A strike is in progroes, for which tho workmen tlame Humpy Logan foreman of the works. Maddened to eration, the strikers seize Logan and drag him to tho works. 1ey are_just about to throw him into the roaring furnace whon Jack Walton, who has beon in hiding, stops forth and saves him. The memory of that awful night causes Logan to repent hls vil- lumy and with his aid, Hestor is restored to her rightful estates, Jack is proven innocont and Robert Caritou sent to_prison, The company carries its own scenery, which was painted by Harley Merry and the o Matt Morgan. The greatest scen the play is in the fourth act, where the erior of the Carlton [ron works is show The stage being darkened, the offect is weirdly picturesque, Ir tho tall chim- volumes of dense smoke vour forth b aroar, and when tho big doors of the furnace arc opened the fiery flames shoot out with a dazzling brilliancy huge sheets of bluish, gascous five, which light up the faces of thie workmon and form a realistic sc The company includes the well known young romantic actor, Walter H.

Her versa- tility is almost limitless and it mattors not in which one of her plays she is scen, whether it be “Dolly Varden,” ‘“Margery Daw,” “Imp,” or what not, her naturalhess and lnck of affectation give a charm that is rarely seen in stago performances. 1t is to Patii Rosa’s credit that_her comnany is always up to tho highest standard and interest is not coufiued to her work alone, When she is off the staga_ talentod porformers are there to keep up tho work of amusing and entertain- ing.

Thero are several #ood reasons why Keene would not be a just representative, The Boston Muscum com- pany is the oldest stock company, but lacks strength of personnel at present. The Daly company plays only the lightest comedies,and would not, therefore, place tho American drama fairly before the Vienneso. The Pal- mer and the Lycoum companics both have too much English blood. The question therefore arises, What's to be'done? 'The best solution is for ‘all managers of stock companies to agree to loan ono or more of their actors and actresses for the formation of an ndependent temporary stock compuny, The United States must be well represented.’” e A Sunflower Party Thursday evening tho boarders of 1721 and 1723 Davonport street entertained.
