SOCIETY IN COUNCIL
Scarcely n Ripple in Social Circle
During the Past Week.

During the Past Week.
But for the Flower Mission dance, the
past week in social circles would have been
dull indeed. The various card clubs have
hardly settled down to work for the winter
and so many people were returning from
jaunts to Chicago, that individual entertain
| ing was quite out Of the question. For the
| coming week interest centers in the musi-
Gale to be given Tuesday afternoon by Mrs.
| H. W. Tilton and Mrs. J. G. Wadsworth,
which is to be quite an elaborate affair
| large reception and dancing party is sched-
ued for the early part of next month, and
| hopes are expressed that later in the season
| the subscription party managed by Mrs
Sapp and Mrs. Stewart last year, may have
a repetition. This was by far the most bril-
I liant affair Of its kind ever given in Council
Bluffs and subscribers would be manifold
should the project be suggested for this
year.
The event of the week was the musicale
and dance given Friday evening by the
| young women OF Flower Mission at Royal
Arcanum hall. The program consisted of
two excellent selections by Whaleys or
chestra, vocal solos by Miss Jessica Wallace
and Forrest Rutherford and instrumental
numbers by Mrs. Brinsmaid and Miss Irene
Test. Dancing followed, and the large
gathering of society folk passed most de-
! lightful evening Several Omaha people
were over and there we're number of pretty
new gowns on display. The proceeds,
which were quite large, will be devoted to
the work of the mission, which supplies the
hospitals with flowers all the year round
The women OF St. Paul's Episcopal church
were pleasantly entertained at tea on We'd
| nesday afternoon by Mrs. Annis. The re-
port of the committee in charge of securing
| n
and many OF the church women had not
been heard from. With this monthly fund
to start upon, it is thought that all enter
tainments and money-raising schemes can
| be dispensed with this winter. The next
| tea will be held the first Wednesday after
| non in November at the home of Mrs. Doug
| las n. Graves.
The Euchre club will meet Wednesday
| evening with Mr.. and Mrs Wordsworth
| Allen on Fifth avenue.
