BRILLIANT LUNCHEON AT ELIZABETH PLACE Dancing Parties Throughout the City the Past Week—People Who Kept “Open House'—~Eisborate Entertalnments in W oh the Swells Figured. Socially the week has been remarkable for the number of people who kept open house on New Year's day, a custom that has wuch to commend it, although until its semi- retirement a fow years since considerably overdone., Then the complaint was made that New Year's receptions were only recruiting stations for inebriates, but under the influence of these later century days the most hilarious drink to be had at any of the houses was et a cup of coffee or chocolate, while a wafer or two sufliced to appease hunger. Yet these simple refreshments made he receptions all the more delightful, for they served to keep the men in the parlors to talk over matters of common interest with the girls, instead of, vus universal in old days, driving them stairs, where the wines and liquors wore constantly on tap. in this, atleast, has society improved. . The HBoston Home Journal, speaking of what the New Year is sure to bring, says: In Januw solve to quit using to- baceo by th whose wife's Christmas gift was a smoking jacket with palm troes and dolphins embroidered on it In February—Lent, and o rest for people in society vill then be obliged to go out only seven nights in the week.

In May—Physical moral suasion from the brother of the young lady from whose side one has driven all other eligible swains during winter and spring, to the effect that it is time to “double up or shue up.” In June—The graduation of a lot of Har- vard geniuses who will bo harshly used by fate end forced to become drummers.

In August—The besjeging of Newport so- cioty by some parvenu who knows she's o lady even if no one else knows 1t. In September—The return home of lots of people who played thinking parts at summer places, and who will entertain their friends ith accounts of tho “awfully gay times we've had. In October—The “mentioning” of several men for misfit offices with the felicitous ap- proval of hired brain In November—The foot ball season, in which beef 1s botter than brain; In December—Time for a new calendar pad and not half the leaves torn off the old one yet. The plays for “‘sweet charity,” given by the women of Trinity cathedral Thursday evening at the Paxton, brought out a wonderfully large crowd of people, and not without reason, for the plays, although very “milk and watery,” were well acted, several of the debutantes distin- guishing themsclves, showing a versatilivy that was very refreshing. So many people ‘were unable to see the performance that the program will be repeated Tuesday evening for the benetit of the Misdion of Our Merci- ful Savior at the same place. " fThe prince and princess of Wales have arrived at Sandringham for the winter. The visitors at Sandringham_are divided into two sets.

J, Poppleton at her home, Ilizibeth Place, quite exceeded any similur entertainment wiven on this occasion. The luncheon was elaborate in_every respect and terminated with the folliest sort of a dance in honor of Miss Marknam of St. Louis, who is the guest. of Mrs. Learned. “T'he house, which is one of the prettiest in Omaha, was decorated with smilax and Christmas greens, beautiful vases filled with pink roses being placed wherever they would show to advantage.

The iden was to have an informal gathering, where the mem- bers might become botter acquainted with cach other, as it is practically impossible for nearly four hundred women to be very so- ciable at the formal meetings of the club. And then, women being curious creatures,, many of them wished to see just what kind ot a husband some other member has, there- fore the gentlemen were invited. Theso husbands were all smiling and mildly sur- prisedthat they were not feeling bored, and each member discovering, to her aston’ ishment, that her own partner was as good, if not -better, than any other present, har mony prevailed. It is no small matter to entertain almost 400 people_and keep the temperature just gight and have all served in a style above re- prouch. Only the size and convenient ar- rangement of the Commercial club rooms made the first possible. 1t was taken as a matter of course that the refreshments would be_simply perfect, as Mesdames Tili- son, Squires, Whitmore, Baker and Fsta- brook, of the housc and home committes have on former occasions exemplified their ability in this line, and, while not elaborate in thew nature, the eatables were enjoyed on every side. Discussing the tea and wafers formality was laid aside and real sociability reigued for two hours. All in all, the Woman's club reception will be remembered as one of the pleasantest events ot the holi- day scason.

The annual banquet to be given tomorrow evening at the Paxton by the Jacksonian club will, its promoters say, completely eclipse anything horetofore attemptod in that line by a political organization in this part of the country The club has gono to a very heary expenso in the way of preparation, and all the details have been arranged on quite an elaborate scale. Itis stated that $3,000 will not foot the bills, and over §1,000 has been raised by subscription to defray the cost of the decora- tlons, lithographing, printing and other pr liminaries, as the & por plato levied on those who attend will pay for nothing but the feast itself. 'he decorations will be veryprofuse.vThey will include not only floral features but elec- wricity will enter quite largely into the de signs, over 800 incandescont lamps being re. quired for that alone, Asido from this, the prize-winning silver candelabrum that was one of the most noticgable features in tho Woman's building at the World's fair wiil be there to throw hailow arouna Nebraska democracy. It is oxpected that not loss than 230 wel known men, whose domocracy is blown i the bottle, will gather around the banquet board. Eighty-five acceptances and us many $ checks have already been received from leading democrats out over the state, while Omaha and South Omaha have jointly furnished 160 aspirants for a square meal, The total number of invitations sent out exceed 1,150, as it was desired to reach every prominent democrat in the state whose presence might reasonably be ex- pected. Itis stated that every member of the state central committee will be present, and the chairman of every democratic county central committee in the state has been invited. Hon. J. Sterling Morton, Nebraska's mom- ber of the national cabinet, has been adve tised on the elaborately lithographe tions as the most iuminous luminary would shine on this important occasion he will be backed by Hon. Juhn P. Irish of California, whose recent appomtment to a feaeral berth worth $12,000 a year 18 regarded as sufticient imducement to keep his eloquent tongue from saying anything that will grate harshly on the ‘ear of the administration, Hon. David Overmeyer of Kansas, another orator who can safely be trusted to say the right thing in the right place, will also bo vresent and give the assembled deciples of Cleveland something to think about. Awmong other distinguished democrats who will be there are: Hon. Frank Lawler of Chicago and Hon. William F.. Cody. West- ern lowa was not overlooked in the matter of invitations, and will be numerously repre- sented. “The secretary of agriculture will be ove of the priucipal speakers of the evening, and will respond to the voast; “The Truth Points Out the Proper Path iu Politics—Right is Always Expedient.” This exceedingly Mor- tonian sentiment was selected by the secre- tary himself, and will occupy a place well up toward the top of the program. Hou. John P, Irish will give expression to a few choice thoughts on ““Contemporary Istumates of Presidents,” while Mr. Over- meyer will speak on “Tariff Reform,” tlon. N. S. Harwood of Lincoln wili respond to the toast, *Democracy in Nebraska,” and Mr. G. M. Hitcheock will be called upon to say something uncomplimentary about the populists in responding to *Democracy and the Dragon.” Ex-President S. R. Rush will represent the club in responding to *“The Jacksonian Club —Its Achievements and Purposes.” Hon. A. J. Poppleton has expressed his in- tention of being present, and will be counted on foru short impromptu talk, as weil as ex-Governor Boyd and several others, although not down on the list of respondents. Hans Albert’s orchestra will furnish music for the occasion and Jules Lumbard will assist with 4 couple of solos. During afternoon, from 2:30 to b o'clock, a recoption will be held in the Paxton pariors, that all may have an opportunity of meeting the honored guests and familiarizing themselyes with Jacksonian punch and cigars. The committee on arrangements has been working incessantly to leave nothing to ba desired by those who attend, not overlook- ing the smooth, warm-tinted inspiration beside which all else seems dull and cold to the democratic internal economy. Colonel Irish left his California home Thursdny evening and has wired that he will arrive at the Pazton this evening, while Secretary Morton is expected |£us afternoon, el DL AMUSEMENTS, The Carleton Opera company closed its engagement at the Fifteenth Street theater yesterday, “Fra Diavolo” being given at the matinee, “The Mikado” at night. *Fra Dyavolo,” Auber’s romantic opera, consider- ing its first performance by the Carleton company this season, was most creditably given, the soloists boing quite up to the re- quirements of the roles, while the chorus work was splendid.
