NEARING . 1 \’he Dansant to Be Inaugurated in Swell Oircles This Week. DAYS BUSY WEEK IN THE SOCIAL SWIM Beautifal Reception at the Garrison—Mr, At Mrs. Wyman Entertain— Wells Known People Talked About, Just a suggestion to introduce the chronicie ©f a busy week socially! Bernhardt comes tomorrow night to Boyd's; tho largest and most fashionable audience ever assembled in any opera house in this city s mssured. Would it not Dbe well it the ladies would leave their bats at home or take them off in the ladies’ reception room in charge of an attache of the house, so that an unobstructed view of the stage may be had? It may be impossible for some ladies to do this, but those who do will have the pleasant consciousness ot having contributed materially to the enjoyment of those who may be behind them in the house. / The Dansant at the Garrison. Soclety may excu»® rudencss, may even pardon hoorishness if there are thousands Baok of it, but it will never forgive an illy Yroportioned function, whether it be a din- wer, tea, kensington or reception, for the Mopen sesame’’ to the hearts of swell people - is the perfect entertainment, well considered and tactfully managed. If Mrs. Frank Wheaton, wife of the com- mandant of Fort Omaha, had no other claims {for social dlstinction, her charming manner of entertaining would be quite sufticient to ‘win her a place in the social worid no matter ‘where the orders of the army might call the general in the time of duty. But in addition 10 & most charming hostess Mrs. Wheaton ©an trace the family tree back to old colonial days and then beyend, so thatall the reqaire- ments of social distinction are hers, In keoping with hor recognized place in oxclusive army circles the reception which she tendered Colonel and Mrs, J. B. Parke and Miss Nigntingale Thursday from 3 to 7 at the commandant’s residence in the garri- s0n was as graceful and as pretty as the most exacting “‘butterfly of pleasure’’ could possi- Dlg‘desir& 'he housc 1s large and very comfortable, for Uncle Sam is generous to his aides engaged in the preservation of peace. It is very reminiscent of an old colonial mansion, wide hallways, airy rooms and grand stair- cases giving 1t for all the world a bygone atmosphere that is restful in these days of conglomerate architecture that passes cur- rent for Queen Anne, Italian, Repaissance, et cotera. On this occasion it was made ad- ditionally attractive by stands of arms, lnnu- merable crossed swords, each with a his- tory of some prominent engagement snd campaign, while innumerable flags were draped over doors, on the sides of the walls, 1n niches and everywhers that a national banner might hang. Myriad pandles and prottily shaded lamps added to the picturesqueness of the scene, which, with \the gay uviforms of the officers and brilliant stumes of the women made a never to be 'gotten picture. Mrs. Wheaton was not content with the delightful surroundings, however, but added a number of new fea- tures that gave the house the appearance of | 8 Fashing Thursaay. General and Mrs. Wheaton, Colonel and Mrs. Parke and Miss Nightingale, in whose honorthe receptien ‘was given, received in the drawing room to the left of the wide hallway. Mrs. Wheaton was tocomingly and very | ®legantly attired in a black moire gown, low cut bodice, finished with point d’alencon. | Mrs. Parke worea Frenchy toilette of green ! {no(ro, handsome black lace overdress, with | rlmmh\g‘l of cut jet. Diamonds. ‘Miss Nightingale’s brunette beauty was #een to great advantage in a lovely combina- tion of ashes of roses and piok in a soft cliiging silic with a love knot of pink ribbon 4n her blue-black tresses. In the dining room chocolate was served av :Kpreu.uy arranged table presided over by . Mallory, Mrs. Piper and Mrs. Webster, G fowned very prettily in the costumes of a orelgii country, Mrs. Webster being drossed in blue with long white aprou, along ker- chief, which belonged to her granlmother, €rflned in front, and natty cap. Mvs. Mal- o ry wore brocaded silk with the inevitable, erchief, apron and cap, her resemblance to the famous picture *‘The Chocolate Girl"” bflm? many times remaried. Mrs. Piper el pink silk, apron and can, allway the general’s study was converted fntp 2 bower of beauty, an immense rubber o 1n one corner giving an air of tho Orient the room. Around the room candles were laced, making a frieze of light. In the jouth corner bouillon was served, while in he north roffee and wafers were dispensed, Flandsomo rugs were displayed while swords 4 andside arms hung on the walls, giving a martial appearance to the place, a veritable #donjon keep.” Dressed in the stately conti- mental style of Watteau train and powdered bhair were Mrs. Pickering and Mrs. Van few. Mrs, Pickering wore white and green rocade over a: white silic petticoat. Mrs. ‘an Liew wore handsome blue brocade over proam satin petticoat.

They wero truly ‘‘daughters of tho ’ods and most divinely fair.” In the small hallway leading from the forth entrance a tent was pitched covered ith pink, the interior made inviting by tissue Howers and myriad lights, and ere raspberry ice wus served by Misses Eiizabeth Waring and Fannie Halliday, us ¥rench peasant maids, 1n short blue petti- «coats, white aprons, caps and kerchiofs and ming black bodices. From Greece to apan 18 a long distunce to make by land and ater, but 1t was but a step on Thursday at rs. Wheaton’s reception, for the music goom was converted into a real Japanese spartment, with gayly colored lanterns and e.p, while under immense umbrolla hree dark-eyed houris brewed tea and ed cake. All the picture needed to make . It real was the presence of a jinriskl and Ariver on the outside. It would have de- hted the heart of Lafeadio Hearn could he ave geopod into this corner on a winter day, rs. ncer as Yum Yum, Mrs, Dembsey \ s Pittl Sing and Mrs, Wilkin as Peen Boo, ere simply perfect. Their robes were uine Japanese, thoir dark hair combed in oriental fashion s&nd their almond sha eoyes would huve captivated all the Nanki- poo'- and Ko Ko's had they been present. ‘The Second infantry band played through- dut the bours of the reception, dancing belng .dndulged 10 afier5 o'clock.

Under his leadersnip six direct and eight indirect fig- ures were danced, the favors being confined to ribbons, which were exceedingly pretty and nicely gotten up. T'here was little attompt ut floral decora- tion, although plants were distributed about the cafe of the Paxton, theroom used for the occasion. The nrchestra was entirely niaden from the guests by & portiere, the band oc- cupying the small hallway on the south sido of the pretty apartment, which was beauti- fully illuminated for the occasion. And this seclusion of the orchestrawas one of tho pleasantest foatures of the cotillon, much commented upon by those who danced and those who looked on. A punch bowl also on the south side came in for pleasant notice, for it proved a very inviting shrine before the evening had materiaily lengthened. Mrs. Yost, Mrs. J. N. H. Patrick, Mrs. J, J. Brown and Mrs. Poppleton, as patronesses of the cotillon, received the guests and gave general supervision to the progress of the gorman. There wero eight direct and si: indirect figures danced, Mr. Wiison having been com- pelled to curtail the program owing to the 1ate hour when dancing began. Among the popular indirect figures danced were the Akll\,\'pnlo, the Umbrello, small japanese um brellas being given for favors, the sash fig- ure, men on the inside of a circle, tho ladies throwing over their heads sashes and thus favoring their partners; the basket figure was particularly protiy, as was the grand right and left,” which gave ondless enjoyment. ’ 3 Miss Stella Hamilton wore a beautiful cafe au lait silk with plaitings of the same pretty shade.

The event of chiefest importance in the swell circles of tho beau monde was the re- ception tendered Mr. and Mrs., Wilham H, Wyman by Mr, and Mrs. A. U. Wyman, Wednesday evening, at the residence of the latter on South Thirty-tirst street. The decorations were exceedingly elaborate and besutiful, yellow and whito daffodils, roses and hyacinthes filled the air with iragrance while tropical plants up stairs and down stairs embellished tho very attractive scene, aided materially by the mellow rays from sbaded lights. The mantel in tne draiy- ing coom was completely buried in flowers, daffoails preaominating, although sthere were roses 1n profusion to lend a more subtle charm 1o the picture. The library off the drawing vcom was also made additionally attractive by the presence of flowers in bowls and jardinieres while in the dining room across the hall, a hand- somely decorated table with the richest of cut glass quite aivided the honors with the good things thAt wer on it, Above stairs was the punch bowl embedded i flowers and presided over hy two well- known society favorites who held out in- ducements to “drink deep and often” of the “‘modern nectar of the gods” as one fair :vomlnn called the contents of this famous owl.

I would be hard to imagine a more thor- oughly enjoyable dancing party und banquet than that given by the Germav club Thurs- day evening at their club rooms, Eighteenth and Harney streets, These annual balls of the German club are mile-stones in the lives of the mombers, their wives and lady friends; they are looked forward to with the liveliest anticipation, for they are universally pleas- ant and charming.
