THE OMAHA DAILY BEE DREANS OF FAIR WOMEN, Mrs, Russell B. Harrison's Impressions of European Life. THROUGH THE BLACK FOREST IN SUMMER, A Fusy Week in the Realms of £ociety —Brilliant Receptionsand Mate inees—Movements of Well Known People. T really cannot now recall what made tho deepest impression upon mo when abroad the vast summer; it was all 30 uew and fresh and delightfully Interesting that I could with entire truthfuluess say that it all made the most profound iraprossion, 1f such a thing was possible,” It was in the cosy library of Governor Saunders’ residence on Sherinan avenue, with the morning light streaming in, light- ing up the pictures, tho bric-a-brac, the books that surrounded the room on all sides, that , Mrs, Russell B. Harrison, fust arisen from the breakfast table, received & representative of Tur Bee and with her came Marthona, en- grossed with the cares of motherhood, carry- Iog a doil in oach arm, aimost as tall ‘as hor- solf, With that charming modesty which has over been a trait of her life, oven as a young girl preparing for boarding school, Mrs, Har- rison aisclaimod any desire to' be inter- viewed. In fact 1t was ouly with tho assur- anco that what she might sav. would be con- sidered a tall that the wife of the president’s son gave her impressions of a threo months’ tour on the continent. “IFor days and wocks 1 had looked for- ward to the trip with tho liveliest possiblo fmagination. My fancy was kept constantly busy picturing the citios I ntended to visit and wondering how near the reality would come to the dream. *“The Pays d’Outre Mer, or the Land be- yond the Sea, was a name by which the pil- grims and crusaders of old designated the Holy Land. 1 was about to become a pilgrim to Outre Mer, for to_my imagination the old world was a kind of Holy Land lying afar off boyoud the blue horizon of tho ocean, and you can have no idea how my heart swelled when the shores of Kngland came 1 sight, “‘Having known the Lincolns when Mr. Robort Lincoln was secretary of war, wo saw London under excepticnally pleasant cir- cumstanc tertainmeonts were given for us and everything done to make our stay in Lorndon delightful. “From London we went to Paris as the guests of Mr. Whitelaw Reid, the American minister 1o the Krench republic, ana his charming wifo. Aund, there, as in London, we saw the bright side of fashionable life as 1t exists in the capital of FKrance, a city which could never tire vou, seemingly, no matter how long you might be there. HOf course, as our time was limited, Mrs. McKeo and myself determined to see the citics snd leave the country for some more opportune occasion, whon time was not so very essential to the contract. From Paris wo went to Brussels, where we were met by Colorel Tirrell, tho ministor to the court of Belgium, and a brother, I be- liove, of n former army officer stationed at Fort. Omaha. With him as our guide we made the trip through the Black Forest in phactons, stopping at nights at the little inns ‘Wwhich are so much a feature of German life, and today I recall that trip most vividly. *'I wish I could paint thojstrange and ever varying beauty of the ride. Pine trees, dark and gloomy hem you in on all sides, and they stand o closo together that the forest de- rives its name from the almost never ending darkness, There are nurseries throughout the forest and yearly a lumber ccmpany cuts the trees that show sigas of decay, while shoots are nlanted in their place, thus the forest goes on century after century showing little the advance of civilization, *“But the roads through the forest! Never have I scon anytuingto compare with them on this side of tho ocean, Kveu the driveways w Central park are not to be compared to thom. Peasants are sean all through the forest breaking up stones to about the size of walnuts, which are used in macadimizing the drives. In consequenco of this work con- stantly going on thero could be no more per- fect boulevards anywhere. *During our drive through the forest Col- onel Kirrell gave us Mark Twain’s ‘Inuno- cents Abroad’ to read, especially that portion relating his experience asconding the Rigi. And Mark Twain was the onlv guide book we had entour, for surelv no descrintion could be more vivid than his, While we didu’t see the sunrise on the Alps, wo ot a very excellent icea of what those snow mountains aro like, and that is anothor very dolightful impression I have of my trip abroad, “As tothe social lifo of the European countries [ can only speak in most_enthusi- astic torms. Of courso there are differences w the maune: of eutertaining, just as differ ences oxist botween Omaha and Washing- ton, On the othorsido you bave u position ‘which is thoroughly well known., You rank according to tho’ position you hold. In Washington it is much the same, and that is why the capital compares more favorably with London and Paris than auy of thio other Amorican cities, Of course “it would be hard to establish such a condition in our own cities for wo are free from that court etiguette which is like the laws of the Medes and Persians, “‘Poople on the other side live slower than wo do here, thoy eajoy 1ife more, it is longer to them seemingly, and that [ take it is a vory good reason to assign why so many Amiericans go abroad every vear. They want 1o get away from tne worry of business and to live for a tino among those who realize that there are conturies still to come. “My visit to Badon Baden was uiso _thor- oughly detightful, but everybody whom I mot said stay away from Carlsbad if you do not want to fecl that you are again in' Amer- icu, possibly for tho reason that it is today tho great American watering place on the Europoan side. “Whilo in London I had the pleasure of secing » familiar face, a face that I have known for years, Mr, Edward Rosewater, and you can have no idea how much more at homo it made me feel, Talso saw Miss Dewoy in London and was again reminded how small the world is anyhow, In Paris I was right on tho heels of Miss Orchard, but did not succeed in seeing her. But we were both busy sight secing, shopping would he more nearly the truth, and so missed each other in the rush. “And now you are not going to print all 1 have said, for the readers of Tur Bex are not interested, I am sure, in an Amorican woman’s trip abroad " The quietness of post-Thanksgiving week was somewnat disturbed during the days Just past and society shook out its fine foath- ers and rushed madly w0 several brilllant matinee affairs, a swoll reception or two, a numbor of card parties, to say .nothing of high toas, musicales and literary evenings innumerable. Everywhere the members of the beau-monde were In high gleo at tne ucar approach of the Christmas tide, and small talk had for its subject principaily the woes and troublesome Incldents of shopping for friends in orowded stores and emporiums. No, shopping was not the only subject of discussion. At an afternoon affair last weok tho inovitable servant girl question was up for dobate and what a Jjolly time the matrons dia have miriug their views upon this most suioying branch of household economics. It Is a notable fact that servant girls grow ravor every duy and fewer intelligent Amer- ican girls show any interost in domestic af- faii mainly because the majority of fash- fonables and influential women take no iuter- est in housekeeping thomselves and thus use helr intinence to demean it, wheroas it was and should yet be regarded the fivst and no- blest of woman's ocoupations next to & moth- er's duties, Evory day almost there are long strings of advertisomonts in tho uewspapers of wirls who want “housework,” but in the majority of cases whore tried they prove o bo girls n who, unable to get stores aro simply anxious 10 earn a little to dress better and who kunow avsolutely nothing of house work. Nine out of ten of theso girls nesd & course of traning the same &3 & 'uan does for almost any trade. Such a jcwel as & good c00K 18 BOt & very @easy thiog o find wowadays. There was an advortisement in Tnr Bee the other day reading something Iike this “First-cluss cook wants situation: first- class wages and first-class employer; no other need apply.'’ That is about the position the really good cooks are in, and they are so independent and proud of thelr own way that they aie often as bad to have around as the poor one. “Doos 1t pay to bo lenrned and wise and studious!” I nsked a protty socioty girl in her second_season at a reception the other ovening. She had graduated with honor from an eastern school, was a delightrully fn- teresting talker and at home would discuss Theophole Gautior and s works with you or talk even upon the benofits of protection and talle well, too “Well,” said she with a_little moue quite betwitching, *I have givon the subject ser- fous study since my ‘coming out' and I have found that the eirls whose conversation bor- ders on the mere nothings are the ones that receive the most atwention from the oppo- sito sox.

Not at all. Why, I actually heard a young man, ono extremely vopular ‘in his Sot,’ turn to a companion and say, ‘What is all this talk about bimetallism? ~What does unlimited coinage of silver mean, anyhow ' Last week a number of tho leading society girls got together and over the “waluuts and tho wine discused the advisability of giving alcap year party to their malo fricnds. For a time it really looked as if the ball would bo given, but other comvinations arose and verything is off,” nsone young lady ex- sed it, pr The Cahn Matinee. The reception given by Mrs. Aaron Cahn, Mrs. Albert Cabn and Mrs. Martin Cahn, from 3 until 6 Thursday afternoon at the residence of the former, 2225 arnam street, suggestod to a groater degreo than any simi- lar cutertatument this season, Tennyson's “Dream of Fair Women,” for at no similar matineo have so many vrotty and fascinating women been represented. The day was perfect, almost suggestive of autumn rather than winter, with a balmy air blowing from the southward that one could almost scent the magnolia blossoms; an tdeal December day, but then people who live in the metropolis are satistied that there is no more thoroughly delighttul climate on the continent than that possessed by us during November and December, ‘The house was brilliant with 1ts innumer- avble fairy lamps, prettily shaded, olaced everywhere throughout the various rooms on the first tloor and the flowers which gave color and offectivenoss to the place. The wide square hallway, with its winding stairway at the farther end, ana the monk’s bench before the big fireplace, to the ight of the parlor entrance, was pretuly gar- landed in green, the ropes of smilax which ornamented the newell posts and the balcony rail being trimmed with rosebuds, giving an offective background to tue picture, But that which excited most comment and over which the guests went in raptures was the haadsome mantel in the first parior. This was elaborately decorated with roses, Christ- mas lilies, chrysantbemums, all grouped in riotous confusion seemingly, but making an ensembly that was the delight and surprise of the hundreds present. K'rom the top of the mantel chaius of smilax wero hung,and tnese, 100 were relieved by roses; in the niches jar- dinieres were placed, filled with la France and American beauty roses, giving a rich- ness to the fire place that was the delight of overybody. In” the dining room la France rosos pre- dominated. The table was beautifully ranged,a tall cut glass rose bowl being plac in tre center filled with American beauties upon a scatf of white satin embroidered in a corn colored thredd, Birds’ nests of spun sugar were placed at the corners of the table while small lamps burned brightly around the room. The sccond parlor to tho left of the hall- way was also prottily though not elaborately decorated, tho florist being content to make the room look very pretty, yet rest his lau- rels upon his work in the drawing room, which was easily his piece de resistauce. Supported on either side by her two pretty and accomplished daughtcrs-in-law, Mrs, Cahn received ut the foot of the stairway. Mrs. Canhn senior worea heavy black velvot gown, trimmed with rare old lace, demi train, dinmonds, Murs. Albert Cahn was exquisitoly gowned in a white bengaline trimmed with moussel- line do sole, entraine and decollete, and in addition to a flower or two in her nair, she carried & supurb bouquet of la France roses. Mrs. Martin Cahn, suother beauty and the possessor of & voice of singular - and flexibility, which unfortunately is not heara often enough by masic lovers, was a picture of glorious womanhood in & hand- 50mo white crape trimmed with embroidered chiffon, entraine and decolloto, a small narrow gold chain about the nack with a small pendant attached, being the only orna- ment worn, except Lhat a rose or Lwo gavo a touch of color to the dark tresses of a women who is notea for her beauty Assisting the hostess in the drawing room were Mrs. McWhorter, Mrs, George I, Gil- bert and Mrs. Adolph Meyel Miss Polack, Mrs, Kntz, Miss Chambors, Miss Rawles, Mrs. New, Mrs. Oborfelder, Mrs, Edward Rosewater, Miss Hattie Oberfolder, Mrs, 11 P. Deuel, Mrs. Bou Newman and Miss Addie Newmun' aiso lent their aid in making the afterncon particulurly enjoyable, tho long residones in this city of many of them muk- ing their services invaluable, Mrs. McWhorter wore a beautiful costume of white crepe elaborately trummed with pearl passemontorie, her oruaments being diamonds. rs. Adolph Meyer woro a bandsome eray and lemou colored net, rencved effactively by silyer passementerie. Mrs. Gilbert wore a gown of old rose sillk, with cream lace. Miss Polack appeared in nrrony tollotte of hieliotrope net, made quite plain, Mrs, Katz wore a pretty lemon colorod sillc gostume with embroidered overdress, trimmed with jot. Miss Gertrade Chambers, one of tho pret- tiest of the youngar socioty girls, with a complexion that wouid have been quite the envy of Mme. Recamier had she lived during the period of the lattor, wore s simple gown of pink, with white lace overdress. Miss Rawles, who is & guestof Miss Cham- bers, wore a striking blue silk gown, with plack featber trimming. Mrs. New, holiotrope crepe, simply made, diamonas. Mrs. Oberfeldor appearod in a costume of black silk and point lace. Mrs. Kdward Rosewater wore a haadsome costume of heavy black velvet, tho front be- iug ornamented with point lace, & brooch of dinmonds and rubies sparkling at the throat. Miss Hattie Oberfelior graced a brown silk gown with piak crepe trimming, Mrs, Harry Deuel, another of the old resi- dents who honored the occasion by her presence, woro black silk trimmed with duchesse lace, diamonds. Mra. Ben Nowiuan wore a pretty black silk, with point lace and diamonds. Miss Addie Noewman wore light blue crepe, with a lurgo number of silver ornaments in her hair and on her shouldor: An orchestra played promenade music dur- ing the afternoon, which of course made tho reception additionally pleasant. From nalt past 4 the orush was remarkable, Farnam streot beivg crowded with carriagoes for thres blocks on either side of the Cabn establish- ment. Tho loug residence of Mrs. Cahn in Omaha, her acquaintauceship extending to all the prominent factors of society, made her list of invitations mount up 1uto the hundreds, but it is quite safe in saying that not more than fifty rograts were receivea from those who wore invited to the very pleasant after- noon affair, The Bierbower toception. It is very rare tnat the devotees of fash- fonabie life are called upon to be present at & more charming reception than that given Wednesday from 2 until 5 by Mrs. E. L. Bierbower, 910 South Thirty-second avenue. A pleasing departure from the usual man. ner in which afternoon receptions aro con- ducted was made by Mrs, Bierbowor, in having the daylight stream in through' the windows instead of depending upon gas and tapers for artificial light. And the fairsex did not seem to mind the innovation in the loast, for the air was bracing outside and nature painted the cheoks a delicate rough instond of depeading upon art to propare the complexion for the glaro of gas lights It was an ideal Decomber day und never have the matrons and maids, mambers of the exclusive circles of fashion,' looked so well O 80 protty than in thelr _street gowns, donned for the occasion, striking products of the modiste’s art which more than any othor nation, untoss it be the Fronch, Americans know so well how to wear, Thearrangements for the reception throughout the beautiful home of oue of Omaha's most cultured women, were perfect, and though there was a continuous stream of peoplo, there was noteven the sugestion of & crush which is usually a part of tashionable matinees. It would be hard to imagine how a house could be planned for large entertainmonts that would excel in its luterior arrangomonts that of Mr. E. L. Bierbower on Thirts-second avenue. Unpretentious on the outside, but by many regarded as one of the handsomest houses “in the city, intoriorally it is a gem. “The large hallway' opens into the drawing room on the south, which in turn opens 1to the library, an_exceedingly fine apartment with the chiarming air about it of being lived in. Back of the library on tho souta is the dining room, another porfoctly arranged room docorated and fitted in keeping with tho rost of tho house. 'The hallway 15 large and roomy, a wido stairway leading by easy ascent to the upper regions. ‘Che furnishings in the drawing room, library and dining room show a refined taste, while the pictures on the walls in the drawing room and library have the merit of being aristio gems. ~ Everywhero one experiences an atmosphere of cultured refinoment. ‘There was little attempt at floral decora tion, the hostess, no doubt, feoling quite con- tent to rest the success of the entertamment upon the house itself, und the perfection of the arrangements. In the hallway there ere several beauti- ful bowls of yollow chrysan- themums, which stood about 1n consicuous places, Tho drawing room was filled with the fragrance of La France roses,which were placed on the mantel and in the corners of the room. ‘"he library was decorated with Marechal Niel roses, jardinieres and rose bowls standing on the book cases and in the spaces usually roserved for bric-ua-brac on the mantel. The dining room was a picture, a huge bowl of American beauties standing on the dining table, while about were grouped beautiful cut glass and silver. ware. The buffet was rich in its floral decoration, the effect being very pleasing. ' Tho simplicity of tho decorations was one of tho distinct charms of theaffair, and stead of detract— ing from the furnishings, which is usually the case, they aaded to theireffectiveness. Mrs. Bierbower was assisted in receiving by her mother, Mrs. J. K. Boyd, Mrs. Rus- soll B. Harrison, Miss Boyd, while Mrs. C. T. Taylor, Mrs. Joe Barton, Miss Brown, Miss Chandler and Miss Ogden assisted through- out the various rooms thrown open to the guest Mrs. Bierbower wore a handsome gown of white brocaded silk with red velvet, the ef- fect being hgightened by point lace, her or- naments being diamonds. Mrs. Boyd wore a black gros grain silk em- broiaered in jet, diamonds. Mrs. Russell B. Harrison, who has been little in Omaha in the past dozen years, a new generation alwost having takea up the social reins since her marriage, found many old friends in the throng that attended the reception. And it was like taking up the broken threads of the past to this beautiful and cultured woman, who still. loves Omaha with all the fervor of her boing. She wore a magnificent toilette of heliotrope brocaded satin, very heavy in quality, muchlike our grandmothers used to wear, made up with point lace, gloves and slippers to maten, and her dinmonds excited the admiration of the guests for they were very beautiful, Miss Boyd abpeared in a gray brocaded silk trimmed with point lace, entraine.
