The Hartman reception and tho Dundy kensington broke the social ice very pleasantly and were an earnest of what is to como when the contentians for the favor of Mrs. Vox Popull are ov And this recalls what N. 1% Willis wroto during the iast days of the campaign preceding General Tayior's clection, although what application the words may have upon the social page may not be clearly discernable. Mr. Wiilis said: “A future president is practicaliy in ballot boxes; and that womb of authority is now only (0 be awaited by tho Patornal ma- jority. With tho tumuit over, the city ro turns to peece, industry and vrosperity.’’ At the tiartman recoption thero were halt & dozen cavdidates for political oftices pres- ent and during the mozes of a waltz one ot them was heavd 1 sav to the lady with whom he was dancing, “Now seo tnat Mr. L. casts his vote for me.” Thecloak rooms were ohunged into debating clubs for the nonce and Politics a0V ¢ stairs was quito as promi nent as Society below.

Among the beautiful homes in Omaha the » Hartman resiaence is inost ad- mired, having been built seemingly with- & view to the giviug of such large affairs as that of I'riday night. From the ovtside one can hardly form a correct idea of the roomi- ness within, big, wide apartments, with protty alcoves making tete-a-tetes almosu impossible to rasist. The first floor is de- voted to tho grand salon, a baudsome apart- ment exquisitely decoratéd in neutral colors, the library, » music room off, dining room and breakfast room, ull these having been set apart for the uses of the recention. Below sfuirs Is a ely arranged billiard room. The second story contans the sleeping apartments, whilo in tho third is o ball room extenaing tho wholo length of the house and here, after 10 o'clock, the cuests, aud particularly tho vounger set, were permitted to dance. Tho room was linely decorated with flowers and smilax, and with myriad lights the sceno was suliiciently enticing to_pleaso the most dovoted foliower of Dame ashion, “That which impressed itself more than any other one thing uvon the minds of the guests present was the floral decoration which was upon a wonderfully lavish scale. Tho draw- & room, the library, the dining room, the music room, wero ail & mass of color, chrys- anthemums in ali thewr variegated beauty vredominating and with a verity it might have been called a “'chrysanthemum rocep- tion.” 1n powtof fact theso harbingers of the gradual decay of the year ran riot and tho rooms looked as if theso flames of color wero nature's own day fireworks, “There were jardinieres filled with magnifi- cent blossoms, mantels wore banked with them, the bays wero canopied with smilax relieved with hundreds of these flowers which have become the fash- fonable fad of tho season. ‘I'here wero por uieres of swilax, giving & pleasing ropo ef fect, waile the bana was curtained off from the auests by a wealth of smilax and yellow chrysanthomums artstically areauged . lverywhere ono turned the mikado's fuvor ite flower was noticeabie, veilow, white, purple, brown, a_verituble’ chrysanthemum show, The pun bowl stood in the dimng roon and bost of pretty giris udded their brightness and brlliancy to tuo nectar which they served. Refreshments were served in the billiard room, the wself, with its false top, being transformed intoan ornamented banquet board, with a high mid_of fruits n the center, the edgo being outlined with smilux and rose: Fairy lamps were everywhere and 1he effect was surprisinely charming. Tho caterer also added greatly to the pleasuro of tho zuosts by tendering prewtily covercd lap oards, which permitted tho serviug of rofroshments in & much moro enjovablo manner than is usual with finctions of tins kind, “Thien, 100, the arrangoments were perfect as o the roception of the guests, the sido entrauco bewg used exclusivoly for car riages, sotting down heads north und taking up heads south, Mr, und Mrs. Hartman, Miss Hartman and ber guest, Miss Woleh of St. Paul, re- ceived in the north drawing room, Mrs. Hartman wore an exquisite costume of embroidored moussellin: do soie, out- lined at the throat and siceves with color of 8 deeper shade, Miss Hartman, who made her but a season ago, was radiaut in crystal bengaling trimmed with handsowe lace, tho whiteness being reueved by an enormous bouguet of red roses which she carried, Miss Welch, o very pretty and attractive girl, 8 faiv exponent of the novth land, wore @ sweet costume of ciel-olue sitk, decollete and entraine, with lace wrimming, nd ried o bugo bouguet of whito clrysantbe debut wmems, Ss1sting throughout the room in ihe en- t of the puests were Charles Squires, ~ Mrs. Honry Estubrook, Mis, MceWhorter, Mrs, Coryell, Mrs, Dean and Mrs, Bozes, while at tho punch Lowl were Miss Mamie Mooro, Miss Joheson, Miss Pratt and Miss Powell of Glenwood, Ia Mlrs.
