SOCIETY 1N WAR PAINT Functions that Have Illumined the Social Page the Past Week, MRS, CARTER'S SWELL DANCING PARTY Rensingtons and Teas Make the Days Pass Merrily—Marringes that Have Occarred and to Occar—Chat of the Smart World, Society has donned its war paint and the Annual ghost dance has commenced with eonsiderable vigor, judging from a look at these columns, Kénsingtons, box parties, feas, suppers and dances have filled the hearts of the younger set with pleasure, and already you hear inquiries of *“What is next on the cirpet for our amusement?” The weck, however, has brought a serious sondition to the minds of the young women, articularly the debutantes; there is a woe- ful lack of daucing men among the smart set and before the Lenter season dawns the Macedonian ery will echio through the draw- iig rooms of the swells, “Ob, for a dozen eligible men, good dancers preferrcd, but men in any ent!” At the fort Friday night there were four girls present to ever, man, a condition of ‘affairs that has nov obtained in Omaha for number of years, Under these ¢ ances the men who ar in socioty have it in their power to form the most compact trust that ever existed, i trust as far reaching 1n_its naturo as the Standard Oil. It is to be hoped, however, that the season will bring back to the ranks some of the many who have given up society and its pleasures for the club and assist in iving the girls a jolly good season of de- figmnu pleasure. ‘The commiitee having in charge the enter- tainment of the Yale Giec and Banjo clubs, which will give a concert at Boyd's theater on the evening of December 28, 1803, has de- cided that the best means of entertaining the clubs will be to give them a reception during the afternoon of that date and to have a large subscription ball followine the concert, The latter affair will be very elaborate and will be made the society event of the season. Subscription papers are already being rapid filled. The com- has met with the most flattering , and believes that it will succeed in iding for1ts guests a more enjoyable time—if that be possible—than the Prince- ton clubs enjoyed last year. For Mr. Edwin Ishin of the *Robin Hood" Opera company Miss Plora Webster gave a box party Thursday evening, chaperoned by Mus. John L. Webster,the guests being Miss Jentie Yates, Miss Rodman, Miss Wilson, Miss Dandy, Miss McKenna. Mr. Wilson, Mr. Dean, My, Prince, Mr. Hall, Mr. Joe Baidridge, Mr. Clifford Smith 'and M. ‘Webster. After “the perfor was served at Miss Webste Mr. Isham, who made such a dasni Lattle John, being the particular guest of the cvening. Mr. Isham comes of an old New York family and previous to his en- trance on the professional stage was one of the leading society men of Gotham. When abroad last year he was accorded marked attention by the musical colony of London, Mrs, William E. Gladstone tonder- ing him a reception at her town house. Ho is o cultured, refined gentleman, and still holds his place among the swells of New York. At first his family opposed his de- termination to embrace an operatic career, but having been sclected by M Henry Clay Barnabee to sing the vt of “Little John in ‘Robin 00d,” and having distinguished himselt in the New:iYork Operatic School of Music, opposition on the part of the family was withdrawn and the young baritone is on the high road to success. “ The question which has been asked for years, whether the children of the lato Jay Gould would be received in the ultra-fash- jonable set of New York, 1s now answered. They will be. Their acceptance by the “exclusive” may occasion party stril It may renew the old A stor and Vanderbilt feud and bring about 8 lot of hard feelings, but_the purtisans of both these contingencies feel certain that in the end overything will come out right, only that instead of the two.clements ru'ing 1t, society will be governed by a triumvirate, composed of vhe Astors, Vanderbilts and Goulds. The adaition of the Goulds to the ranks of New York fashionables is undoubtedly a welcome one, and one that will be produc- tive of muchgood. They areall very aclight- ful, cultured and thoroughly good form, and will assimilate with those who have been within the charmed circle around which Mr. MeAllister drew the mystiz figures 150" With tho greatest care. These he will now have to increase considerably, for there is a large sized family of the Goulds, and none of them may now be overlooked. There are Mr. and Mrs. George Jay Gould, the heads of the house of Gould; Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Gould. Miss Helen Gould, Miss Anna Gould and Mr, Howard Gould. Mrs. Paran Stevens practically acknowl- edged the Gould power as a factor in society when she received Mr. and Mrs. George Gould in Nowport last summer, and when, later o, she bid them to the dinner given by her to the earl of Dunraven, Mrs, Stevens s farsighted, and in pting the Goulds only did what all the rest of her acquaint- ances will also soon do, now that the Astors haye practically decreed that they should, Only, one thing remains for the Goulds to to assure social success and vhat is to entertain. This, of course, they are repared to do,and 1t is safo to say they will 0 it In their accustomed good taste. Mrs, George Gould is an exceedingly charming woman, and the few small func- tions sho has given have proven her possibil- ities ns o delightful hostess. She is bright, vivacious and cultured, well informed, adaptable. possessed of all the requisites, in: cluding fabulous wealth, which socicty de- man ! The same may be said of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Edwin Gould, the daughter of Dr. “George I Shrady, and both of the Gould _ girls are very nice young women, Miss fiulen Gould being remarkably intellectual. The “Gould men are as welcome acquisi- tlons to -oulm{ as the women; in fact the whole family leave nothing to be aesired. They have been practically in the balance . fora long time, and have needed only the ~ Astors’ approval to turn the rscales in their ‘favor. Nobody doubts”these have been tipped on the Goulds' sid. Swoll Dancing Party. The dancing party given by Mr, and Mrs, Addison Carter for their daughter, Miss Grace Himebapgh, was one of the most suc- wessful functions of a not overly brilliant penso Tho house 15 new and beautiful, and It has been o very long timo since the smart world appeared to so charming advantago as on this occasion, ‘The drawing room, parior and dining room were canvased for dancing, the hall and li- brary being reserved for the dowager chap- eroues. A fine orchestra stationed in the li- brary played excellent 0 music throughout the evening. The decorations were in white and gold, white carnations and chrysantbemums being placed about the pooms .n abundance.

Wheeler, Married Into an Old nsylvania Family, Tho most brilliant wedding that Carlisle lias seen for years was that of Miss Lil McClellan Bosler of Carlisle and Mr. d mond Thomas fooker of Omaha. Ne the Second Presbyterian church last even- ing, says the Carlisle (Pa.) Evening Senti- nel of Thursday, November 8. The front of | the church was tastefully decorated with palms and white and yetlow chrysanthe- mums, forming an_effectivo background for the bridal party. The bridal party entered in the following order: Mr. Herman I Bosler, a brother of the bride, and Ja whridge of Pittsburg, Mr. Joseph Bos. jr., and Mr. Edward M. Biddle, jr., both ‘atlisio; Miss Mackay of Evansville, d Miss Lilian Graham of Carlisie y Bosler and Miss Fieota Bosler of Carlislo, ~ Miss Joan Bosler, the m honor, walking alone, was followed by the bride, leaning on the arm ot her father. Mr J. Horman Bosler. As the wedding party moved up the aisle Rev. Dr. George Noreross, the officiating clergyman, ontered from an ante rosm, followed by the groom and his best man, Mr. J. C, Coble of Cheyenne, Wyo, The grouping of the bridal party for tho ceremony was ex- ngly graceful, the bridesmaids and s forming a largo semi-cirele facing the , proviging an effective setting for o and groom and their near atvend- ants. The marriage ceremony was very im- pressive, and at its closo the wedding party moved down the right aisie to the music of Mendelssohn's wedding march. The bride never looked better, bemg most becomingly gowned in an exquisite white satin, trimmed with duchesso lace and orange blossoms and enveloped in tulle, car rying a large bouquet of bride roses and lilies of the valley. The maids were attived in yellow bengaline and carried bunches of su- perb yoliow chrysanthemums Colonel and Mrs. Hooker, parents of the groom, of Omaha, and Miss Lizzie Hooker were in attendance at the wedding. Miss mes B, Dalton and § e, The marriage of Miss Catherine C. Dal- ton, daughter of William Dalton, and Tnomas I. Swift, youngest son of Thomas Swift, took place Tuesday morning at St. Patrick’s church, Fourteenth and Castollar street: Nine o'clock was tho hour ap- pointed, and at that time the church wvas crowded. The clear, cool autumnal weather was ideal for a wedding, Although no in- vitations were issued, friends of the families filled every available seat in the chure The bridal party arrived at the appointed time and proceeded to she altar without de- lay or ceremony. The bride was attended by M Philomena Swift, sister of the groom, and Mr. James Dalton, brother of the bride, acted as groomsman. The impressive marriage rite of the Catholic church s performed by Rev. Father Jeannette, and was followed by a nuptial high mass. The choir, of which the bride was a member, sang the mass with unusual elect. It was not diflicult to_discern in tho voices a tinge of sorrow, and that feeling was apparent among the audience. The joy of the wed- ding was mingled with regret because tho young couple had decided to leave home and friends and settle on the Pacific const. At the conclusion of the service the bride and groom were surrounded at the church’ door and given an enthusiastic. affectionate greeting. The combined energy of the ushers, Mossrs. Jonn Mullen and Charles Dugdale, had to be exerted to prevent them being smothered with kindness and good wishes, ‘I'he bride was attired in a traveling cos- tume of dark green empire cloth and hat of white velvet. Instead of the customary bouquet, she carried a tortoise shell prayer book. The bridesmaid’s costume was a copy of the bride's, A wodding breakfast was served at the residence of the bride's parents, 1365 South Seventeenth strect, to which only imme- diate relatives were bidden. Mr.and Mi Swift left on the afternoon train for Port- land, Ore., where they propose making their future home. Marrled a Cortlund Girl, Tke Cortland (New York) Daily Standard gives an interesting account of the mar of Mr. Harold Chester Peters of Sioux City Ia., and Miss Eva W. Pardee, daughter of Mr. Ira N. Pardee, formerly pastor of the old Kighteenth Sureet Methodist church, who is well remembered by many Omaha residents. Says the Standard: The cere- mony was performed by Rev. D. D. Camp- bell, DD., pastor of the First Methodist church, in the large south parlor, under an overhanging canopy of evergreens and au- tumn leaves. Artistically grouped about the parlor were a number of palms and pot- ted vlants in full bloom, while cut flowers, including great numbers of choice roses, were scattered about the various rooms in great profusion. ‘I'he bride and groom en- tered the parlor together to the strains of Lohengrin’s wedding mar-h played by Miss tie B. Myers and the march continued very softly during the ceremony. The bride e a gown of brocaded white silk with trimmings of lace, ribbon and smilax. She ied a4 bouquet of bride's roses ana maidenhair ferns. Always beautiful, on this occasion she looked her very best. As his contribution to the happy affair, Mr. B. . Carpenter offered on the altar of hymen the following dainty poem : AN AUTUMN MORNING WEDDING, I knew a maiden, sweot und falr With eyes of blue and golden hs Aud one from tho distant we n land Hud come to claim the muid, One autumn morn thoe sun Flooded t rolden ligh Darting his rays thro' the halt-closed blind, As If In oager search to find Aud touch the happy plighted pair, Who stood In love's swoet hondage there. 0 love divine! gulde thou thuir feet ‘Through sunny paths, in union sweot, 1il in the far off autumn days, They stand with only words of praise, o him whose tender lovewnd care, Through all the years, hath bro't thom there, And may thelr lives bo 1lk= o song, Eyar flowlng sweetly on.
