THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, JUNE 1, 1902. LAWN FETE THE THING NOW Soclety is Busy with Affairs Given Under Trees or on Verandas. wostesses Enjoy Some Privileges and Guests Find a Heap of Opportunities for Enjoying Themselves, Last week saw the first of the really large out-of-door affairs in the lawn fete given on Tuesday evening by Mr. and Mrs. Charles T. Kountze, for one of the visiting young women, the evening proving such a success that the popularity of the lawn, porch and garden party seem to be established for the summer. With the opening of the Country and Field clubs, this charming va- rlety of summer entertalnment has nearly been absorbed by the many attractions that make up the life.and doings of those in- stitutions, the very nature of the places | necessarily retaining them popular, for en- tertalning there does relieve a hostess of #0 much responsibility and bother, but after all there are things about entertaining at & country club that outweigh even the responsibility of the material details and the privilege of gathering about one just those whom one really wants, that is, so far as society ever enjoys that privilege— 1s such a comfort. And then lawn parties are always such satisfactory things, that s, it the weather Is fine or even halt way #0, for they admit of such a departure from the conventionalities. To begin with, there i no danger of a crush for what hos- tess would over crowd her yard, and (hen there Is not only room, but a place for everybody and their fade The woman who loves frills and attitudes is really necessary to complete the effect of certain corners of every veranda and lawn that nothingelse in the whole llst of out-of-door settings could accomplish— she and the languld man—and of course, no one would expect her to engage in those things that attract the girl, who, for re sons best known to herself, prefers white muslin and simple dimities or some other more or less Intricate gown that admits of its wearer’s moving about freely and of other peoples doing likewise. And then, it fairly abounds In possiblli- tles for those very young men and the older ones they would imitate, to whom there is pothing new or Interesting under the sun. There is so much room to walk about— mlone and look impressively solitary. But the informality of the affair is what chiefly commends it to the majority, the informality and exclusiveness of it, and It is probable that among the young people | Wt least, the lawn fete will retain a pop- ular place all season. The formal opening of the season at the Field club was a gala occasion, indeed, and marked by a large attendance of those in- terested in various contests of the after- noon among them being many who have this year transferred their membership from the Country club. For those not interested In the out-of-door program, there was dancing indoors or conversation parties on the ver- anda. The feature of the evening was’the informal dance which was hr“"??‘mnd!d. the wfternoon’s crowd being supglemented by thoss unable to come ouy Uuntil affer business Hous.

It would seem that the judgment of an overwhelm- ing majority of the recognized strongest woman's organization of the world regard- ing the expediency of such an action, not to speak of the opinions of the colored educators and leaders who have done most for their race, might have some welght with these women, but as it appears to have none, the General Federation is doubt- less to be congratulated that these inde- pendent thinkers deferréd making their ap- plication for membership until after this decislon had been made.
