There is o IN FAIR WOMAN'S WORLD, What Society is Doing Upon the Eva of ths Holidays. QUIETNESS IN THE REALMS OF FASHION. Brilliant Receptidn by Mrs. Augustus Pratt—The High Five Party— Chat About Well Known People. The week just ended has almost been de- void of social interest. The reaction after the brilliant receptions, the Thanksgiving reunions, the kigh teas, etc., of the weoek prior, has given little to chronicle outside of a Kensington, one or two card parties, o pretty reception, and a fow minor affairs of mterest only to those directly concerned. But from this on society will indulge its bent, and the struggle will go on with additional farvor. While the approack of the Christ- mas holidays may dotract somewhat from the list of events it is quite safe in predict- ing that the post-Christmas season will be onlivened by a number of swell affairs, ‘which are even now known to have been de- cided upon by well known hostesses wiho run to society doings as men run to base ball and horse races. 1 was talking toa bright young married woman the other day upon the craze for orchestras at dinners and teas which is now 80 rampant among the swell circles of soclety. The young lady thought thatan orchestra for a reception iwas just the proper caper, but lamented that hostesses insisted upon an orehestra of throe or five pieces at a uinner. “Now, when 1 entertain,” said she, ‘T make it an invariable rule not to invite more than twenty guests. [ try to have them con- renlal, interested in each ‘other and find that that number can make more delightful musie than a fiddie and a clarionet wheezing turough & waltz or some themo from one of tho operas. With this number the rooms can all be thrown open later and the infor- mality prevailing wakes tho chief charm of the dinper or tea. Unless I had in mind a oig erush, music would be no feature of an entertainment of mine." Professlonnl beauties are rapidly going out of fashion. Men prefer the quict primrose now to the sunflower. One of the most charming attributes that a youug girl can possess is # modest, shrinking nature, To lazen forth her charms is an injury rather than a benefit. Sinco the opening, the Athletic club has been crowded, afternoons and evenings, by athletio young men, old men and middle aged men, bent upon adding a little more sizo to their muscle, reducing their adipose tissue, or strengthening some particular set of tendons but little used. Bowls attract a great number of fashionable young men, who would no more think of vaulting over a *horse" than thev would of flying, and the three alleys avo always filled per consequence. ‘With 600 members 1t ought not to be much difficulty to make the club the biggest kind of & go and it looks now as if President Ames had the make up of & mascot in his composi- tlon, It took & good deal of courage to guar- antee the rent of a building for five yoars, with nothing in sight, but" George Amnes is popular and he went about the thing in tne right way, and he has the pleasant satisfuc tion of séeing the clubon & plane guite con sidorably above older orgauizavious of similar nature in Kansas City, St. Louis, Deuver and St. Paul, Just as & mere suggestion; Wouldn't it be & graceful thing to set apart one afternoon in the week for the voung lady friends of the members to participats in bowling or other nathletio exercise, as their fancy might indi- catel Girls love ten pins as well as the boys, and they shouid bo given an opportunity to show their ability in this direction, In spite of continued railing and abuse the | wid other form of entertainment in which one can ay off 50 many obligations at cne time with 50 littlo oxpense. 5o much for the hostess. As for the' guest, it means simply giving up a little time in an afternoon. One has but to say ‘‘good afternoon’ to one's hostess, adieus are considered unnccessary and it is possiblo to “'do” eight or ten teas in one afternoon. Aftornoon tea itself has comse to stay, and many a pretty little romaunce has started over the dainly tea table with its protty ap- pointments. g Evening calls are quite out of fashion now, and itis much pleasanter to drop in of an afternoon and have a cup of tea with one's hostess on the way home than it used to be when an evening had to be given up to call- ing. “What are they doing at the Omaha club?’ said a club man in reply to aquestion ying of dry rot. Really there is little doing and little talked abouv that would interest a dozen people outsido the club walls. They play pool and billiards, drink a little some- times, have some charming midnight sup- pors, but outside of these very mid dissipa- tions Omaha club men are a very exemplary set. Of course when such good fellows as John Tebbitts comes back to town, things bruce up a little, but they soon drift back to a state of inanition. There has been some talk of the annual club ball, but as it does not oceur till late in the season, or just before Lent, the chances aro that for some time to come detinite action will not be taken.” Aro we to havo a charity ball? Surely there fs need of the money that is derived from such an ovent and there are as many poor now in Omaha as in past years, proba- bly more. The winter bids fair to be'a long and a severe one. Why then should not the leaders of “light and Life” get together and give a real ol-fashioned ball for “Sweet Charity Sake.” Who will start tho ball rolling? Let us for once brothren, dwell together in harmony and revive a custom which, of late vears, has been more honored in the 'breach than in'the observance, Musicale Rose. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Buchanan gave last Saturday evening, a charmingly informal musicalo at their pretty new residence on south Thirty-ninth ayenuo, in honor of Judge and Mrs. Bartow of Chadron, Neb., and Miss Barber of Watertown, Wis. Tho house was exquisitely decorated with chry- santhemums, roses and smilax, a pretty feature of the evening being tho substitution of waxen tapers, shadod effectively in pink, for the gas lights, although the chandeliers were also deeorated with pink shades. Tho evont was in the nature of & house warming, it being the first large party to meot congonially under the roof of the hos- ptable host and hostess. The houso 13 thoroughly modern in architecture, the design boing to do away with folding doors and in their stead substitute arches and portieres, thus giving, when needed, the appearance of one large salon, the sight lino boing prettily broken by archways. The ball is roomy, while the rooms off ure delightfully cosy and comfortable, just such & bome as you would expect tho ' general passenger agent of the Premont, Elkhorn & Missour: Valloy rail- road and'bis estimablo wife to occupy. Thero s been no attempt at lavish display either in decoration or furulshings; but, what is far pleasanter, it boars the impress of gentle refiuoment iu every feature, Tho drawing room was, for tho occasion, conyerted into the musio room, whore tho pianos were pluced for those Wssisting in the program. Mume. Mueutofering began the charming ovening by playing & Schumann Fantaisie, which mes” with discriminating applause from tho devotees of music present, many of them beiug amateurs of no small ability. Mrs, Frod Nye, who is the posscssor of a very sweol | soprano voice, saug vleasant effoct a dainty Florian song which had for its theme *“love ln o cottage.” A quartette for two manos, “Hungarian Dances,” by Brahme, followed and was one of the distinot successes of the evening, the players being Mmo, Muentefering, Miss Clara Hawley, Mr. Roy Smith of Fremout sad Mrs. Buchanan, Miss Hilliard, who bas created a furore by ber clever roadiug since her evening at the Lininger art gallery, recited “Tue Studio,” which won 4a two p1anos, with Miss Clara Hawley at the first and Mrs. Muentefering at the second, aroused the enthusiasm of the musicians, for it was faultlessly played, the tempo. being particularly well taken. : Mr, Roy Smith played three of his own compositions, *Waltz Caprice,” *‘Polka” and a “Humoresque,”’ which also aroused tho en- thusiasm of tne audience, for it is not every day Omaha people are permitted to nhear a composer_interpret his own compositions. Mrs. J. W. Cotton, whoso voico grows more tuneful and more flexiole with the years, sang exquisitely an Arabiun song that fit- tingly closed a very aclightful evening. 7Nhe refreshments were elaborate, the guests being seated at small tables through- out the rooms. Among the gucsts wero: Captain and Mrs. Trnett, Dr. Summers, Mr. and Mrs, M. V. Morse, Mrs. Lander, Miss 1jams, Mr. and Mrs. W. H, Alexander, Judgo and Mrs. Wakeley, Colonel Champion Chase, Mr. and Mrs, W.” Wallace, Miss Shattuck, Mrs. Churchill Parker, Mr. and Mrs. Ray- mond, Mr. and Mrs. George Gilbert, Mr. Drake,Mr. and Mrs. JohnBarker, Miss Fannie Butterfield, Miss Melona Butterfield, Mr. and Mrs. Cornish, Mr. Joseph Millard, Judge Woolworth, Miss Ogden, General and Mrs. Hawley, Misses Mary and Clara Hawley, Mr. and Mrs. Burt, Judge and Mrs. Bartow, Miss Barber of Watertown, Wis,, Mr. and Mrs, Allee, Miss Millard, Mr. Roy Smitn, Fremont; Mrs. Nye, Mrs. Cotton, r. and Mrs, Muentefering, Mr. and Mrs, Kilpatrick, Miss Hilliard, Mr. ana Mrs. O. M. Carter, Mr. and Mrs, W. N. Babcock. A Brilhant Reception. Thursday was a typical December day. It was cold and dveary, while the wind played hide and soek arouna the corners, making a warm, cozy five the most charming thing in the world. But notwithstanding the day’s roughness the reception which Mrs. Augustus Pratt gave on Thursday after- noon from 3 until 6 brought out tho fair sex 1n large numbers, and their heroism in brav- ing the storm was more than rowarded by ihe charm which pervaded the beautiful home of the hostess at 1203 Park avenue, The tioral decorations were quite elaborate, chrysanthemums, roses and smilax playing no iuconsequential part in the arrangement of the rooms. The dining roow was partic- ularly beautiful in its decorations of yellow andwhite. Tho table was covered by a yel- low silk cloth edged in wide white lace; over the silk cloth was an_exquisitely drawn center pieco with mirror, while upon it rested a handsome crystal candelabra, while yellow tapers, prettily shaded, seemed just émerging from the interior of water lilies, making a very effective picture, An orchestra stationed in an adjoining room pluyed an excellont program of cham- ber music throughout the hours of the re- ception, leading additional pleasure to the afinir, & Mrs. Pratt was assistod by her aaughter, Miss Pratt, Miss Bessie Tatum, Mrs. Bart- lett, Mrs. Harris, Mrs, Bliss, Mrvs. Cady, Mrs. Goodrich, Mrs, W, E, Clarke and Mrs. Tatum. Miss Dotweiler and Miss Alexanaer served the punch from a bowl begutifully ornamented with grapes ana decorated with smilax, while o quartette of pretty girls, Miss flimebaugh, Miss Tatum, Miss Moore and Miss Lou Johnson served refreshments in the dining room. » Mrs, Pratt wore a handsome gown of black lace trimmed heavily in jet, dlamonds, Miss Pratt looked very sweet in simple costume of white mulle mmed with Valen- cionnes lace, pink roses. Miss Elizabeth Tatum, soon to become a bride, wore & pretty costume of gray crepe with bodice of striped brocade, White roses. Mrs. E. Bartlett looked handsome and stately in u tollette of heavy black grona- dine ‘with passementerie trimming, dia wouds, Miss Detweller was very dainty in a piok erepe trimmed prettily with ribbons. Miss Alexander wore o gows of white clialiie, which blended beautifuffy with the piuk that her associate wore at tho punch bowl. Mrs. Cady was bandsomely gowned in an old rose silk trimmed with jeweled passe- menterie, diamouds. Mrs, W. E. Clarke wore a pretty fawn col- ored silk trimmed in black lace. Mrs. Goodrich wore an effective combina- ments being diamonds. The voung ladies in the dining room were gowned to correspond with the decorations, which was a very pretty aud very effective innovation, Miss Moore wore yellow silk, decollote, made in a very simple manner but very be- coming to her, Miss Tatum graced a gown of yellow silk trimmed with lace, decol- lette. Miss Himebaugh, a thoroughly fln do sieclo maiden, wore iyhite crepe, trimmed beautifully in gold while Miss Jounson wore a handsome white china silk. Progrossive High Five. Wednosday evening Mme.
