e i e A i N IU— THE "OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 30, 1902 SOCIETY IN HOLIDAY GARB Last Weok Boos Smart Folks Out for General Goed Time. COUNTRY CLUB COTILLION CATCHES ON weh Ikely Dur- Experimental Affair Proves that Others A to Follow in Or ing the Winter, Bucces: The Lay of the Lobster, Albert Lee in SBmart Set. The lobster is a kind of bird, Concerning which you may'have heard He dwslls beneath the sea; He a but has no win, T'don't think’ that he ever a) But crawls most gracefully. Now, once a lobster, young and green, Who'd never seen a soup tureen, Came scrambling through the surf; A maiden, who was standing there, Picked up that foolish young lobstair, And took him on the turf. The maiden to the lobster said, “T'll take you out and paint you red, I'll give you a hot tim The lobster thought this would be great, Apd did not realize till late i Ignorance sublime. The lobster sald it would be fine To have some supper and some wine; He thought he was a rounder. The maid, though, knew her little trick; Bhe got him in hot water quick, And left him there to flounder. She ripped the lobster up the back, And gave his skull a lusty crack Then roasted him quite well, And when she'd got all that there was To get out of that lobster’s cla She threw away the shell. I'm sure that ne one well can fail To grasp the moral of this tale— It's very plain to see. A lobster is a lobster now, He is a lobster anyhow, And will forever be. Contrary to all precedent, that is, within the last few years, since the winter holi- days have been so largely monopolized by the college people, it was the married folke and soclety generally that dominated the Thanksgiving week doings instead of the junior members of the family, who were privileged to come home from school for a few days. The week was replote with affairs of more than ordinary pre- tentlousness and the holiday spirit seemed to be generally abroad. It was, in fact, in keeping with the scale that society seems to have adopted this fall, and that it 18 to be hoped it will retain. Of course, “everybody’ attended the foot ball game on Thursday afternoon—except- ing those who went down to see the Lin- coln game—and that evening there werd supper parties of a more or less formal character in scores of homes, composed of the remnants of the afterncon “crowds.” This paturally determined the evening, especially as there was nothing on of es) clal consequence. The cotillion at the Country club on Wednesday évening was perhaps the most talked-of affalr of the week, and such a hit did it make with the fashionables that its frequent repetition is promised. The club house, aside from its location, gffords a most {nviting place for gatherings of this kind, and now that the seagon has come when there is no excuse for members going out there, except upon invitation, those who would do things & lMttle out of the ordinary are looking to the Country club as the most satisfactory place hereabout for giving things. The week started well with a large at- tendance at the Omaha club dinner on Monday evening, and up until Saturdsy evening there was a round of dinners, re- ceptions, luncheons and card parties. This week’s caiendar is a repetition of last week’s, and, in fact, the time well up to Christmas is engaged for smart fumc- tions. Attention is called to the announcement that, beginning this week, The Bee will chronicle soclal events they occur in- stead of at the week's end, as formerly, the Sunday column to be reserved as a resume of society in Its more general aspect. Wedding gements. Mr. and Mrs. Heory 8. Ferrar of Grand Island, Neb., announce the engagement of their daughter, Beatrice, to Mr. Sydney H. Potter of Birmingham, Ala.

For years the Wilkins and Buckingham families have al- ternated thelr Thanksgiving dinners, 4 the latest occaslon was taken as an auspi- clous time for giving out the information.

Between 3 and 5 on Wednesday after noon Mrs. Charles Greene received about 250 guests at her home, 3523 Harney street, the gathering being one of the prettiest of the many pretty affairs of the weck.

Me- Kenna, Herman Kountze, Charles Kountze, George Palmer, enridge, Misses McKenna, Brady, Gore and Rogers. Prominent among the week's gatheringss and reputed as the prettiest party of the year was the cotillion given at the Country club on Wednesday evening by Mr. and Mrs. Luther Kountze and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wilkins. With its exceptional pos- sibllities for the unusual, the club house was made even more attractive than or- dinarily. A great log fire blazed in the fire- place, lending a weird uncertainty to the rows of pumpkin lanterns that ranged across the high mantel sbove. The win. dows were hung with Navajo blankets ana Orfental rugs and many another touch was added suggestive of the warmth and the season. Perched on the balcony railing above the hall was a huge turkey holding in his bill festoons of bright colored crepe paper that extended to the ends of the gallery. At either end was a paper cannon, from which were shot at the close of the evening a shower of confettl. The figures, without exception, were unique, many of them belug entirely new, and the favors were correspondingly appropriate and a tractive. There were thirty couples present and it was after midnight when the party returned to the elty. Especially interesting because of its oc- casion and its persornel was the luncheon given on Friday by Mrs. H. 8. Jaynes at her home in Kountze place for a score of young women who coutribute much to ‘he interest of the affairs of the young set. The luncheon had been announced as com- nlimentary to Miss Ruth Bryan of Lincoln, who has been Miss Herberta Jaynes' gues but this fact only gave added Interest to the affair, as It wi generally suspected that the real occasion of the luncheon was the announcement of Miss Jaynes' engage- ment. The table was arranged in shape of a T and very simply though effectively trimmed in green and white. Two low mounds of white chrysanthemums and a third of Narclssus were arranged at in- te and connected with ropes of smilax, the candelabra in delicate green and white shades completing the table trimming, with the exception of the place cards, which were small blank pleces of cardboard, somewhat to the mystification of all. When all had been seated there was a pause in anticipation of the expected announcement, but to the surprise of all, this falled to come, and it was not until a few minutes later, when one of the girls chanced to turn over her little white place card, that it was discovered that this apparently un. interesting bit of pasteboard explained everything. It was an engraved visitin, card and bore the name of Mr. Brace Fonda. Mrs. Jaynes' guests were Misses Bryan, Ethel and Loulse Tukey, Gertrude Macomber, McCune, Fannle Cole, Hortense Clarke, Mona Martin, Edith Du. mont, Mary Harris, Comstock, Edith Smith, Georgia Kennard, Caroline Mercer, Jeanne Elizabeth Allen, Mildred Lomax, Edith Jackson, Carrie and Fanole Purvis and Mrs. Arthur Smith.
