PLEASURES OF THANKSGIVING, fcofety’s Crowning Week «f Brightness ard Beauty, EOMETHING ABOUT WELL KNOWN PEOPLE. Drilliant Receptions, Luncheons, Balls and High Teas Give Inters est to a Gay and Fashion able World. With afternoon recoptions, several teas a luncheon or two and a swell ball in tho evening, Wednesday was a red lotter day in the social life of the metropolis, The fashiotable events gave abundant opportunity to the fair sex to airtheir prettiest gowns, and the re- ceptions brought out the handsome turnouts of tho haut monde in large numbers, crowd- ing tho boulevards and making the Sherman avenue drive look like a small section of Rot- ten Row set down in Ouaba. It point of largeness. however, the event of tho week and one of the pleasantest occa sions of the scason was the reception given by Mrs. Adolph Meyer at her boautiful rosi dence in Kountzo place, from i until ¢ Waednesday. It in warming, for it two big the nature of a house was the first largo given by Mrs, Moeger sinco occupancy of the new home on Wirt street. - tmmediately after her ro- moval to the new_establishument the death of her motter closed the houso to ail social @ tertaments, and for u year and a half the hostoss of Wednesday has neld atoof from the gay world, But on the day before Thauksgiving the quietness of the residence was broken and Mrs. M garded us one of the most beautiful recop- tions over given in Omaha. Everythiog was upon a_luvish scale, and throughiout tho art of the decorntor, the upholsterer, the florist, vied with the architect, while over all bung the rare graco of the hostess in making all her friends feel en rapport with the house and the surroundings. Tho drawing room on the west is a beauti- ful apartment, particularly large and roomy and lighted by a number of immense win- dows. It approaches a salon more than n drawing room and is a study 1 ivory white and gold. Midway of the apartmeut four columns bave been placed, two on elther side, Ramanesque in treatment, which with the Louis Quinze furnishings gives tho Toom @ pust century flavor that is very enjoy- ablo, In fact one can easily imagine that tho days of tho Pompadour are repeating them- seives aud tho swish of her garments still disturbs the air whilo the scent of hov favor- ite porfumo penctrates allspaco with languor- ous sensation. There is a bijou apartment to tho right of tho large hallway which is restful to a de- greo. It is the antique room of tho house, tho chandelier, the side brackels being of iron, the stately mantel conforming t0 the samo general style, whie a curiously fashioned iron stove, with porcelain doors gives a touch of color to the place. The hangings are mediwval in effect while hammered_ hoads of famous warriors ond literateurs give an art atmosphere to the apartment thut {5 very restful The afuing room, however, is undoubtedly the most harmonious room in tue houso, as it is the most beautiful. The woodwork is of antique onk und_everything is thoroughly in keeping. handsome pictures treating of tho hunt, panels of game and fish piccos grace tho walls and make the placo worthy of the most ardent devotee of Epicurus. The room was exquisitely decorated on this oc- casion, pink being tho predominating color. Wide pink ribbons extended from tho chan- liers to the curners of the table, whilo every- whore fairy tapers burned, shaded in pink surah. 'The refreshments, too, were pink in color, the ices beiug moulded in the shape of ink candles, and so on throueh the whole Fist of good things which wors served. “Above stuirs the rooms were just as cheery as.thoso_ below, the good tastd o thio. mis- 3t1.houso showing itself evorywhero. orape olOtLLop Cald - of the axcellont he pigtypes in tha salon,of the statuary, the brouzes and the exquisite fur- nishings, but it is of tho reception itself that & description is required.

Muentofering and a number of her pupils gave a thoroughly ar- tistic plano recital at **Loravilla,’ the pretty home of Mayor and Mrs, Cushing, on Twen: ty-fifth avenue. The house is nicely adapted for ontertainments such as that of Tuesday evening; the parlors are loug aad afford ample opportunity for tne comfortable seat- ing of guests. In addition the rooms were prettily decorated with autumn Howers, hot- houso plants, palms and many stands of chrysanthemu The chandeliers were heavy with smilax, and throughout a dis- criminating tasto was shown waich greatly pleased those present. Mde. Muentefering, whooccupics a high po- sition in the local musical world as a thorough teacher of the pianoforte, has every reason to feol proud of the success her rccital achieved. While nervousness on the part of some of the pluvers was quite apparent, whilo now and then Wrong notes were struck and runs slurred, taken ail in all it was so excellent that Mde. Muentefering deserves to be congratulated upon the very happy out- come of hier first public recital of the season, Soveral very promising pinaistes were in- troduced, Miss Clara Hawley, Miss Lora Cushing, Miss McShane, Mrs. Buchanan, Miss Broderick and Miss Grace Deiweiler being particularly worthy of more than a mere meu- tion in passing. Miss Clara Hawley's blaying of the “Andante and Rondo Capriccioso” of Men- delssohn was a thoughtful interpretation of 4 great master’s celebrated composition. Tho tempo was well taken, and & nico discrimin- ation shown 1n the uso of the pedal. It suowed caroful, conscientious study and ranked among the pleasuraole performances of the evening, Miss McShane was heard to excellent ad- vantage in the “*Andanto wnd variations op. 46" by Schuman a duo for two piancs, Mde, Muentefering playing the first instrument. ‘The young lady excells in attack, her phras- ing, too, being a subject of favorable com ment. Miss Lora Cushing with Mrs. Muentefer- ing played a pretty arrangement of*Martha' Flotow’s effective dramatic story in a praiseworthy manner. She 1s an enthusiastic pupil, and refiects the art of her teacher move, possibly, than auy of her associates on the program, Mrs. J. R. Buchauan has touch, und her playing of * by Chopin, with Mrs. Muentefering at the second piano, was a treat to listen to. Miss Detweiler isa promising pupil, so much so that she gives promise of being neard from later in the musical world. Miss Lucy Broderick is also a painstaking pupil, whose playing Tuesday eveniug was thor- oughly up to tho excelient standard set by the instructor. Tivo of the younger members of the class also wade their witial bow bofore an audi- ance. Missos Bessie Peck und Miss Mary Barker and their interpretation of “William Tell” was, notwithstanding their years, a feature of & most oxcellent program. Mr. Kinzie varied tho instrumental part of the evening oy the rendition of several vocal numbers, chief of which was Steinkagen’s sentimental ballad, *You,” which_won an eucore; “Boautiful Girl of Kildare.” Mr. Kinzie's voice is particularly uadapted to ballads. It is sweet and puro, forceful in the ubper register and such a voice that women g0 in ecstacies over. Madame Mucutefering not content in ap- pearing with her pupils gave two solos, the “Sonata No 1 op 42" by Schubert, and tae “Last movement concerto No. 1" by Mendel- sson. Her iuterpretation of Schubert's musicis worthy ofall praise. He is one of the madume’s favorite composers and you may always bo certain of heariug one Schubert number when Mde. Muentefering is an- nounced on a program. The souata was played much faster than is usual with bor, and it was thoroughly remiuiscent of D'Albert, whose lovo for this famous master is proverbial. Tho Mendelssohn number fittingly concluded the program, the big card being reserved for the last. Aud it was given with a finish that brought euthusiastio ap- plause. Miss Broderick particularly dis- tinguished herself in the orchestral accom- paniment on the second piano, showing a musical mind whicn quite delighted the art lovers present. Delightful refreshments were served dur- ing the evening, the whole entertainment being artistic to & degr The complete program was as follows : Invitation to the Waltz -Quartotte. .. .

Thore was little attempt at elaborate floral decoration, the hostess depending upon the pretiy ar- rangement of the dining table for the pictur- esqueuess of the room.
