1893-SIXTEEN PA FS. WEAK CONDITION OF SOCIETY Small Doings in the Realms of Fashionable Light and Life. LUNCHEONS CONTINUE IN HIGH FEATHER Patrick Is Honored by Two Functions arries n Milwaukes Local Kvents Among the Howling Swells, Looking back over the week just ended one thing is particularly noticeable, the woe- tul lack of big entertainments, where men and women may meet together socially for an exchange of those courtesies attendant upon fashionable life. Instead, all the real nice functions have been monopolized by women, who more and more seem to be mak- ing a business of society, leaving the men to depend upon their own resources for amuse- ment and entertainment. Dinners are taking the place of the evening re: often theso dinners are ‘‘for women only in fact, the great majority of luncheons this season have been given for women, until the men more than ever feel that the only place securo to them is the club, and the Omaha club shows a decided improvement in attend ance in conseque Whither is society drifting is a pertinent question at this time and leaders of the swell set would do well to consider this grow ing custom of ent; nments for women alone before they become hopelessly mired. Men, as a rule, love home. They marry generally to securc a partner to attend to the home- making branch of the business, and when that partuer fails, why, home does not exist for them any more and the club, with its illw'rinu inducements, its light and gaiety, naliy secures a new recruit, and the family oircle is minus a head in its best and most endearing scnse. “Thero 15 too miuch of this division of the sexes when it comes to society, although many men are only too glad to be freed from the necessity of putting on a dress suit and posing for three or four hours as a ociety devotee, They much prefer an easy air,a dressing gown and their favorite magazine to all the frills and furbelows of this nincteenth century society of which hears and reads so much. But there men who love society because of sions, its allurements, and these men feel the clubbing together of women most keenly. For such as these, women should cater more than they do, should be less selfish than they are and take in oftener than during the past season the men who make it possible for wives to give functions. Luncheons scem to have the call these days of May that the following descriptions of recent Gotham functions may not be in- appropriate at this time as ‘“‘pointers” for those who are planning sunilar affairs. At a pink luncheon the cloth was of pure white damask, with an exquisite silk scarf of the daintiest rose pink drawu across the center. At either end was a small cut glass lamp with pink silk shades, and as daylight was excluded these lamps gave a soft, low light most be- coming t the assembled guests and harmonizing with the entire tone of the decorations. Pink satin ribbons were fes- tooned from the chandelier and from the (our corners of the table, where they wero {astened with stiff butterfly bows. The nap- kins were tied with satin ribbons, and at each plate was a large bunchof “‘la Franc roses tied with wider ribbons. The fine china was decorated with a daiuty pattern of rosebuds. The finger bowl doylics were made of bolting cloth with a sprig of a rose rainted on each. At a violet luncheon the tablecloth was of fino linen strown with embroidered violets, and in the center of the table was a round flat mirror filled with violets and a few care- lessly dropped on the mirror, which gave a charming effect as the glass reflected the violets. At the guests' places were cards decorated with violets and large bunches of the purple flowers tied with narrow ribbons The light was given from dainty Dresden candelabras placed at the four corners of the taole, the shades of which wero made of white crepon paper with violets painted across them. ' The china'was aiso violet decorated. 3 e At a red luncheon the navkins and table- cloth were of a peculiar plaid with deep crimson as the foundation color. In the cen- ter of the table was a huge candelabra of solid sil’ holding tiny candles, with red shades. The chandelier was amass of smi- lax tied with crimson ribbons. At either end of the table were vases filled with red carnations so spicy and sweet as to perfumo the entire room. 'The table glass was of the softest shade of deep red, as were the finger bowls. Bunches of carnations with mignon- ette were at the plates, and as each course was brought in a carnation was laid across the side of the plates. At a white luncheon white satin ribbons were drawn from the four corners of the table to meet in a great splashing bow in the center. At either end were vases filled with lilies, and small dove-shaped white boxes were placed at the separate covers filled ‘with bont Any of these luncheons can easily be carried out and a change of color substituted, such as yellow, blue, green and pink, ete. Many women carry out the color idea of the luncheon into the drawing room, decor- ating with flowers and lamp shades. Much can be done by the ingenious woman of to- day with a little study and taste. * So many of Omaha's hotels have boon named for individual s the Paxton, the Murray, the Millard, the Dellone, the Mer- cer, that the Interstate Hotel company is desirous of changing the existing order of things in the naming of the new hotel shortly to be erected at Fif- teenth and Harney streets. The gentlemen connected with theenterprise invite through the columns of Tue Bee suggestions for a name, the only stipulation being that it should be of Indian origin, short and musical. Makatah has been suggested as being par- ticularly musical and full of significance, its mesning being “cosmopolitan.” Alabama, which means “'rest,” has also several euthu- siastic supporters, but neither of these meet with the approbation of all the stockholders. Students of Indian lan- guages have here an opportunity to suggest a name that shall be distinet’ from every other hotel name in the country and at the sane tim ate to the structure and tho city in which the hotel is to be erected. What shall be the name for the new hotel? Tuk BeE invites suggestions on this question. N Luncheons for Miss Patrick, Previous to Miss Patrick’s departure for her home in the Keystone to two beauti ful luncheons were given in her honor, Miss Kountze acting as hostess on Wednesday, Mrs. Joseph Barker on Thursday.
