i Personal Gossip : Society November 20, 1916. As the opera season all over the country advances facts come to light which give Omahans good reason to be proud. Last week the daily prints commented on the great deficit which existed in St. Louis after the grand opera series there. This week Chi- cago is the subject of discussion. Word comes that while the balconies are filled with real music lovers, among them a young millionaire who finds the balcony people quicter and less given to chatting during the musie, the boxes and the downstairs scats were sparsely occupied. Because of this situation it is said that the loyal supporters of opera who ecach year dig down in their pockets to sup- ply the deficits may grow discour- aged and withdraw their support. Other interesting comments were made of the Chicago season. One was that in view of the work-a-day nature of the community the performances should not be allowed to drag on in- terminably. The intermissions should be shorter, because, unlike the French or Italian opera-goer, who thinks he has not had his money’s worth of joy unless he remains until 12:30 or 1 a. m., the American financier wishes to leave early that he may rise with the crowing cock. Clothes of the season attracted no- | tice. A sober-hued crowd, as regards evening gowns, they were, but opera cloaks were beautiful and gorgeous. 1t is greatly tto our credit that, with such large western cities as St. Louis and Chicago finding opera seasons un- successful, Omaha's boxes, arena and balconies were packed to their limit, Tea for Debutante. Mrs. John W. Towle entertained at tea this afternoon for the girls of the younger set and some of the younger matrons in honor of Miss Regina Connell, a debutante of last week. Yellow chrysanthemums were used as ?:cormons, a mound of them adorn- g the center of the tea table, About seventy guests were present. - Assist- ing Mrs. Towle were: esdames— Mendames— ~W.
