THE OMAHA DAILY BEE, SUNDAY NOVEMBER 8, 18901-SIXTEEN PAGES. ASHIONABLE ~ FRIVOLITIES, Boautiful Recoption and Danoing Party at Elizabeth Place, BEGINNING THE SOCIAL SEASON EARLY. Kensington Teas and Migh Five Parties Contest for the Mastery What the Gay Worl Finds to Do, Elizabeth Place, the boautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. A, J. Poppleton, on Shorman avo- nuo, was the scene of a brilliant recention and dancing party, Thursday evening, 1in honor of Miss Mary Popploton, one of the s0ason’s most charming debutante: The Poppleton establishment is among the handsomest in the west, the house occupying 8 commanding location overlooking the val- loy of the Missouri and the bluffs to the north and south, Well kept grounds sur- round it on all sides, while interiorially it has tho ineffable charm of being “lived in.” It is pleasantly roomy and throughout evi- dences abound of its being the home of reflne- ment and culture, a Thursday evening the house was ma ¢ brilliant by beautitul palins, which stood on tho stairwny landings, in the angles of the walls, und they shieided the band which was stationed in the ballway on the uorth. The drawing room was a picture in 1ts wealth of omums, roses and ferns arranged tively on the mantels and in a bank in orthwest corner of the apartment. So and handsome is the drawing that 1t might with propriety bo called tho grand so for that term more nearly than any other that can be re library on the south of the other of the prettily ac though the evidentintention was to nllow the room's per nt furnish- ings to speak for themselves. 1tose bowls, Lowever, did service on the book cases, filled as they wero with hot house flowers, while smilax was twined about the chandeliers and the sido brackets, The stairy gestive of some tropical country, so rich and luxuriant were they decoratod, producing effects that wero greatly admired. Refresi- ments were sorved above stairs, leaving the whole first floor free to the dancers and thoso who have outgrown that delightful pleasuro Lut not yet old enough to forget what joy there was in the waltz wheu ‘every goose was u swan.” The service of refresh- monts on the second floor was much com- mented upon, but then the Poppleton estab- lishmont has rooms innumerable, all larzo and comfortable, which mado it easy to look after the material part of the charming enter- tainment Durin room Iway was an- ated rooms, al- f the decorator the hours of the reception tho rooms were crowded by the members of the smart sot although by the time dancing bo- gan the lower floor was not overly crowded, and the young peoplo had excellent. opportu- Dity to test the ability of Haus Albert’s or- chestra to play dance wusic. In watching the shiftingscone from a stair- way landing, one could not help but recall Max O'Iell’s latest tribute to American wo- mon, *“I'ho morol sco,” ho writes, “of the American woman the ‘more I become con- firmed in my impression that they are typical —more 50 than the men. They are like no other women 1 know. T'he brilliancy of their conversation, the animation of their featury the absence of affectation in their manne: mako them unique.” - And one could not help but coincide with the brilliant Frenchman in his estimate of our womanhood looking on at the Poppleton reception. From child- hood to girlliood, and from girlhood to young womanhood the utmost care is bestowed upon ber training and education. The widest lati- wude is allowed her in the development of all her intellectual faculties. She is taught courage, self-reliance and within the bounds of the strictest social amenoties and proprie- ties acquires feelings of independence, But that is another story, as Mr. Rudyard Kipiing sententiously remarks, and what 1s meant to be said is that on Thursday evening the women never looked prottier nor more worthy of boing called American women.

Pre-Columbian & A very delightful literary scauce united a select group of guests for a real intollectual enjoyment at the Academy of the Sacred Heart, one evening last week. The academy parlors were handsomely decorated with potted plants,supported ou columus festooned with smilax. Rt. Rev. Bishop Scannell pre- sided, accompanied by his sacretary, Rev. A. M. Colaneri, and Rev. Father Smith. At pre- aisely 7 o'clock the strains of the “March de Triomphe,” brilliantly rendered by Misses Greeuwood ana Dolan, ushered in the in- vited guests. The programme indicates the interest and novelty of the topics handled, but does not adequately expross the pleasing and graceful form in which so mucn valuablo and well-timed information was furnished by the six young ladies who form the graduat- ing class of '9: The “Greeting" was given by Miss T.emon in a bright and modest manner. Miss Will- iams manifested great self-possession and & cultured voice in hor agreenble delivery of tho ossay entitled *Hesperian Iiclds and Utmost Tsles.” She brielly and gracefully glancod at the classic_myths and specula- tions that pointod to a belief in lands lying far to tho west of urope, and summarized the outlines of Greek and Roman thought on these subjocts from the days of Thales to_the first centuries of the Christisn era. A bright sea soug from Donizotte appropriately fol- lowed and served to introduce a lively paper by Miss Schaab, who read with a remarkably clear articulation and well sustained voice. This young lady furnished tho facts upon which France, Holland, sland, Gothic Spain, Japan, and even Tartary. baso claims dating beford the Fifteenth century. Sno lort the pretentious of the Irish, tho dinavians, the Welsh and the Portuguese for moro detailed development in the succeoding ossays. Miss Pundt did herself credit in rendering a musical selagtion by Jadassohn, after which Miss Kevin read with much taste and animation the longest and most amusiug paper of the ovening, on the Irish claims to the aiscovery of América in the early part of tho sixtn century. She dwelt on the fact that the maps of the middle ages showed far to tho west an uninhabited land called *Ire- 1and It Mikla,” or “Ireland tho Gireat.” An epitomo of the history of St. Brenden tho navigator was then supplied, showing much jndgment in the sifting of fact from fable. This essay, highly appreciated by the audi- ence, was appropeiately followed by Mooro's “Meoting of the Waters.” Miss Dolan's sympathetic voice interproted with rave pothos that simpleand ever touching cadence from tho heart of Irelend. Tho chivalrous tale of Eric, the Red Leaf, his bold son and Thorvin tho Feariess, found an apt historian in Miss MacNamara. = After vividly portraying the Norse wanderings and settioments i Iceland and Greenland, sho flunlly brought her Scandinavians i.to Rhodo Island, and closed by reciting & tion of Longfellow’s “Skeloton in Armer, to which a peculiarly refined and intelligent elocution gave admirable effect. Miss Leo’s paver on Madoe and tie Welsh, entitied, *The Dambrian Cross in Mexico,” exhibited a wide scopo of general reading, judgment in selection and combination, and much literary taste in the grouping. Selec- tions from Southey's “Madoo threw tho charm of verso into this very interesting narration of the adventures of a Welsh prince on_our shores in the twelfth centu Miss Dolan acquitted herself admirably of thie diMeult task of letting Chopin spoal for limself In the “lmpromtu,” (op. 20,) und Misses MacNamara and Williams gave Mo- zart's “Sonatain B Flat? with accuracy and skill. Attention was hold by Miss Pundt from the first line to the last word of her beauti- ful essay which took from poom of Words worth's its signiticant titlo of *“The Huppy Warrior,” It proved that the world owes debt of lasting gratitide to Prince Hoary of Portugal, who, though he died " tweuty years before Columbus approached ~ our shores, had pro- pared the way for that great discoverer by munificently encouraging nautical studies and aowal oxplorations. Haviag | thus brought her audience down to 1492, the young lady vemarked that 1891 was waning, centeuniul echoes were already breaking on the air and we could almost sez, in fancy, the great Genoese nearing our coast, while wo could catch the eveaing hymu' of the Spanish sailors—*Ave Sanctissima.” This, her last word, was taken up promptly by the twosweet voices that sang, with doep foel- ing, Mrs. Hemans' “Ave Sanctissima,” aud torminated the evening’s entertainment. A fow congratulatory remarks from Rb. iov, Bishop Scannell were marked by tact and kindness, and formed a buppy close to an hour of most refined ploasure, quite tor own, Hoplcins, A Hallowe'en Gathering. Mr. and Mrs. Richmond Anderson enter- talued a number of their friends on Hal- lowe'en in A novel manner by giving a phan- tom party at their late residence, 711 North | Forty-first aveuus. Allof the guests came attired in sheets, pillow cases and white masks, and a most enjoyabla evoning was spent, the host and hostess exerting them- selves to the utmost to assure a kindly wei- come, The rooms wero illuminated * with lamps and Cainese lanterns, aud dancing, old-fashioned games and dulged in until 11 o'clock, when the unmasic- ing took place and the many ‘wrongs' righted amid much lawghter and merriment. Tho serving of a bountiful suoply of old-time rofreshmonts brought the evening's enter- tainment to a close, and the guests departed with many wishes that tho society of the present day would more frequently find time and inclination to give such thoroughly en- joyable and informal affaies.
