SUNDAY, JANUARY 27, 1805 WOMEN IN CONVERSATION Doro Weather Greatly Interferss with Swell Functions the Past Weok. LEADS THE GERMAN AFTER TEN YEAFS Whist Club Gives a Very Original Cotitiion | at Lako's—High Five Party for Mr. and Mrs Neovil-Detalls of the Drake Wedding. Have you cver thought how difficult it is to follow a4 woman In conversation. “‘Woman's at best ntradiction still,”* says Pope; and eertainly no angler was ever more at a loss | among the slippery and finny tribe than a man {5 among wayward, capricions and friv olously-disposed woman. Now that Lent Is shortly to be with suggested that the wol who seen most in society adopt the habit of exhausting before jumping to another, Th women who have a marve facully for skimming rapidly over the surface of things, reminding one of the swallow as he £om skims over the water in search of food, Aipping here and there In his rapid flight. It Is as breathless and fatiguing to follow them In their conversation as to pur- suo a squirrel as he leaps with wonderful agility from tree to tree. No sooner do you imagine that you have caught their meaning and are going to enjoy a little conversation that can boast of some consccutiveness, than you ced, by a powerful wrench or intellec sltight-of-hand, which recalls the feats of acrobats and jugglers, to divert your thoughts snddenly into a totally different channel, wholly unconnected with anything that has gone before, Ll you are led through mazes of which a volatile woman alone Is capable. Overpowered with the esertions of the chase, you give up, simply exhausted by the proce:s, without any clear or distinct idea on any one subject This exercise is frequently accompanied by a considerable amount of vivacity and naivette, which Imparts a raciness to the entertainment which would otherwise be only unbearable. Shouts of laughter suc- ceed one another as you find yourself en- gaged fn a kind of steeplechase, or in an fntelleetual version of the old fashioned game of “hunt the slipper,” only with this difference, that while the talk is slipp the elipper is not th Or it may that the transitions are too rapid for completion of any sentence calculated ain the idea which, for the moment, has gsossion of the mind, and while you strain every faculty you have in order to gain some Insight into the meaning o what fs said you arc abruptly asked, in the mid dle of half uttered, half expressed, inco herent and broken sentences, whether you do not understand. If it were not for the arch good humor with which the question is put you would feel disposed to resent such an off handed way of disposing of conversation. And, af- ter all, what is it you are supposel to understand? Ideas not expressed, thoughts not sbaped into words, Fairly puzzled, yet not willing to own your defeat, or too cour teous to Insinuate the utter incomprehen siblencas of your fair friend, vou ecither try to catch at some meaning as well a you can, or content yourself with giving a vaguo kind of answer, that may mean any thing or nothing, or endeavor to shelve the wholo matter by an affirmative which, it not strictly in accordance with the truth seems the only loophole of escape. This gamo Is played again and again with equal ingenuousness, and the most abstruse ques tions are touched upon in the same reck- less and superficlal manner, for no subject i8 either too grave or too deep for them No sybil ever uttered darker sayings nor propounded more perplexing riddles than some of the young women of the present ac us it is on one subject re us Are bhe the to The marriage of Miss daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Drake, and Mr. Albert Frederick Miller of Fran is now announced to take place at ke residence at 4 o'clock February to be followed by a reception. Mis Alice Drake is to be maid of honor, the bridesmaids being Miss Adelaide Miller of Franklin, Pa., a cousin of the groom, and Miss Dlanche MacBane of Fort Dodge, Ia. The assisting girls will be Miss Colpetzer and Miss Bessie Norton; the flower girl will be Josephine Drake, and the ring bearer, Miss Metta Miller, a sister of the first bridesmaid. The best man on this occasion 1s to be Mr. Charles Miller, jr., of Mranklin, Pa., a cousin of Miss Drake's flance; the groomsmen will be Messrs. Sam- uel Megeath and Willlam Clarke, while the ushers chosen are Mr. Harry Wilkins and Mr. James C. Ritchey. Miss Drake is one of Omabha's favorite society girls, a debu- tante, and comes of a fine family, while the groom is well known in Franklin, Pa., circles. The wedding is to be exceedingly beautiful, and the trosseau in keeping with the standing of the Standard Oil representa- tive in this city. Drake, eldest It has been a long time since so delight- ful a german was given by the leaders of soclal life in Omaha as that of Wednesday evening, at the residence of Judge and Mrs. Lake on Dodge street, by the Whist club, This club has been In existence for several winters, meeting around at tne homes of its members, and composed of men and wo- men well known in society, who have given up the grand round of pleasure for the more sedate joys of home and married life. Now and then, however, the old time spirit of gayety and fun has made itself conspicuous and the result has been most novel entertain- ments, The cotillon of Wednesday evening was a novel dance, indeed, because it introduced to the dancers many new and original figures. which the icader, Mr. Clement Chase, had spent a fcrtnight in creating. One of them, known as ““A Knotty Problem,” was worthy of any leader, causing consternation to the man who drew the end of a handker- ohifef having the knot upon it. But the two figures that caused the greatest comment and amusement, and worthy of Beau Brui mel himself, were known as *“All Small Cards” and “Return Partners Lead,” titles having a whist-like flavor. The leader had procured, but not without considerable effort, pletures, tintypes, card photographs and even old daguerreotypes of the participants in the darce. Pictures of thelr childhood days and these pleturs formed the basis for the figui above. To the ladies were gis funny litt} pleturcs of the boys who had grown sinc those photograph days Into manhood and “bearded Mke the pard,” some of whom being filled “with ewise saws and modern ipstances;" while to th men were given the pictures of lttle “kids" in pinafores and other gowns reminiscent of very young ehildhood. And the fun was fast and furious when the men and women attempted to find the counterparts of the pictures given them by the leader, as their partners in the cotillion After this trylng ordeal came ments, preceded by the Virginia reel. When the refreshments were served the *‘Discard’” figure followed and then another original fig ure, entitled, “Whistle for Luck.” The evening closed with a series of athletic ex- ercises in which the men, to gain partners, indulged in standing jumps, pole 1ting, skipping the rope and ‘leap frog," feats which they have not undertaken since boy hood. The two parlors wero canvassed, the seats belng arranged in the rear one, while in the dining room stood the favor table with arti- cles of tissue paper, perfect strings of morn- ing glovies for the ladies, immense chrysa themums for the men, fancy balls, pheto- graph frames and other Kulckknacks. The favor table was presided over by Mrs. Louis Bradford, assisted by Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs. Riugwalt. Mr. Chase, who has not figured recently in the cotillon, led for the first time In nearly ten years, and was followed by Mr. and Mrs. Willlam A. Hedlek, Mr. and Mrs. Warren Rogers, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Wheeler, jr., Mr. Jobn A. Ringwalt | and Mrs. Clement Chase, Mr. Louls Brad- ford and Mrs. Milton T. Barlow, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Lehmer, Mr. and Mrs, C. W, Hull, Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Deucl, Mr, and Mrs. Isasc Coles, Mr. and Mrs. A. L Reed, Mr. and Mrs. Harry McCormick, Mr. and Mrs. Arihur Remingion, Mr. and Mrs. | Joseph Garaeau, Mr. and Mrs. W. 8. Popple- | ton, d Mr. C. Wil Hamiiton, rover. On refresh- shaps of a gilt edged playing card, the fig- ures being printed on it, and its motto, “For a Club of Ten." was the hero of the hour, and his bust stood crowned with Jaurel in a prominent place in the library. From his immortal words were drawn the fiting answers to many important questions of the present day. Some were 80 vory opportune s to bring forth hearty ap- plause; for example, a certain great man's opinion of himself was called for when this reply came: “I am Sir Oracle, and when I ope my lips let no dog bark.” Bach guest recelved a memento in the form | of a picture of some Shakespearean character or_haunt Music, very suitable to the occasion, was | furnished by Miss Jessie Towne, which was highly appreciated. Miss Towne is a bright pleasing young woman, who, with Miss Tay- Tor, added the charm of girlhiood to the gath- ering. Delicious refreshments were served and the guests departed with the memory | of a perfect afternoon in bold relief. her study of elocution, in which art she is already very proficient.
