Mrs, Boggs' Pretty KensinptOn.

''There was an eager and nipping airn all
day Wednesday, but that fact did not deter
the leaders of the smart world from attend
ing Mrs George II. Boggs' Kensington tea
from 2 until6.
The Boggs residence at the corner of
Twentieth and Chicago streets is one of the
cosiest in the city, While there are many
more pretentious houses in Omaha there are
very few so delightfully."- appointed. The
rooms are large and nicely lighted. The
hallway is almost square, at one side of
which is pretty alcove extending
underneath the stairway The drawing room
is very roomy with a deep bow window on
the east which is beautifully curtaine ed and
draped. The library is another pleasant
room. and the music room off TO the north
balan ces the rooms very effectively, the dining
room being still in the rear of the library.
Excellent tastc has been displayed in the
arran cement of the draperies over the doors
and windows, which are very suggestive of
that used in the time of Louis Ounce.
The floral decorations were very simple
only the chandeliers having been roped with
SmilaX, while here and there a jardinere
filled with lilies of the valley gave pretty
effect to the interior arrangement.
Small tables were distributed throughout
oil the rooms, and cards provided for those
who had forgotten to bring their fancy work.
The bow window, however, was filled with
busy women who had not neglected to bring
the main feature of Kenslngton, the knit
ting.
Throughout the afternoon the Musical
Union orchestra played pretty airs in keeping
with the brightness of the occasion.
At o'clock refreshments were served
Stewart Pryor Of the Union club having that
portion of the affair in charge.
Mrs. Boggs, who Is tactful hostess, quite
deserved the warm congratulations she re-
ceiyed from her guests, for the Kenslngton
was one of the prettiest out and ladies'
affairs given this season.

The Frilliant ReceptiOn.

The reception and dancing party given by
Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar Williams and Miss Mar
garet Williams atthe Mllard Thursday even
ing was undoubtedly one OF tho handsomest
receptions of the season.
The parlors and dancing hall were elab-
orately decorated with flowers, palms and
hot house plants. Lilies of the valley stood
In rose bowls, and jardiuieres on the mantels
ana on the tables which had been prettily ar
ranged for the occasion, And in addition to
the wealth of cut flowers which made the
room look like rose garden, large numbers
of pots containing Towering Japanese lilies,
We're effectively placed in the reception room
aud ball room, making beautiful back
ground TO the dark foliage Of the palms and
ferns.
A pretty feature of the ballroom was the
bank of palms which had been built in the
northeast corner behind which the orchestra
was stationed. 1t was very decided i'm
prpyement over the screens which have here
tofore done service as a dividing line between
the musicians and the guests, and at the
same time did not impede the sound waves
No programmes We're used, banners being
substituted with the order of dances lettered
thereon.
Mr.. ana Mrs. Williams and Miss Williams
received in the west drawing room and were
assisted throughout the evening by Mr., and
Mrs. Thomas Swobe.
Mrs Williams wore beautiful gown of
white satin trimmed with exquisite point
lace; handsome diamonds
Miss Williams, very pretty and attractive
young woman, wore one Of the dainuest
gowns seen at reception this season, white
tuile trimmed with gold braid, and gold slip
f'ers. She was very suggestive of a flower
show for she carried immense bouquets of
roses and lilies of the valley, while her gown
was trimmed with the handsomest roses OBJ
tainable.

The Dead Patriot.

Ireland's great leader, Charles Stewart
Parnell. died Oct. between the hours of
II o'clock and midnight at his home at
Walsingham Terrace. Brighton. He died
of rheumatic fever after brief illness.
We take the following historical sketch
from the Pioneer Press:
Charles Stewart Parnell was born at
Avondale. County Wicklow. Ireland, in
1S46 He inherited his bellgerent and ag-
gresSive qualities from a source no further
back than his grandfather. Commodore
Charles Stewart the famous commander of
the frigate Constitution, whose remarkable
capture, in single fight, of the two British
men of war Levant and Cyane. won for
him the surname of Old lronsides.
On the other side of the house Mr..
Parnell was the lineal descendant of
Thomas Parnell, ESQ.,. who owned estates
in Congleton. Cheshire. England, and set
tied in Ireland during the reign of Charles
H., about 1880.
Shortly after the close of the war of 1912,
in which Commodore Stewart. commander
of the old Constitution, played so gloriousa
part. Miss Stewart. his only daughter, went
to England. where she subsequently mar
ried Sir John Parnell, the third baronet
and grandson of the Right Hon. Sir John
Parnell. chancellor of the eXchequer. They
removed to Avondale. in the county of
Wicklow. Ireland, where Charles Stewart
Parnell was born in 1S46. He was educated
under private tutor. and when eighteen
years of age was sent to Magdalene college,
Cambridge. England. Shortly after gradu-
ating he was initiated into Irish politics,
and at once took up the cause of the people.
With the aggressive. irrepressible blood of
the Stewards on one side and the party
spirit and political prestige of the Parnells
on the other. the young graduate was a
politician by nature and inclination.
"But," says Mrs. Parnell of her son, ''he
did not always possess the cool temper and
presence of mind that he now shows in his
debates in the house of commons. When a
boy he grew so angry when his will was
disputed that his face became purple with
passion. He was imperious with the serv-
ants, as most young landlords in that coun.
try are. and until his visit to America,
shortly after he became of age. he was
bitter Conservative In politics."
His visit to this country was partly on
private business connected with his god
