II is a good thing that the originators
OF the Horse Show did not extend it over
one week. II they had 1t Is a question
whether il would have remained as popu-
lar as Il has. It's an awful strain-six
nights and three matinees, but society held
IN wonderfully well and has the satisfac-
lion Of knowing deep down in its own
heart that 1t acquitted itself admirably
even OF the sin of inexperience. The second
annual Horse Show was the most brilliant
event in the social history of Omaha, and
disproves certain insinuations made by dis
agreeable people that the local fashionables
are uninitiated in the ways of big city.
The loyalty Of Omaha women is splendid.
and they deserve a lot of credit for the
part they played. for no one can deny
that the women have as large a part in
making a horse show a success as the
horses have, or even more. Imagine what
Il would be without them. 1t means some
thing besides the qualification of personal
vanity and social ambition to go on dress
larade every night for week, to fill ones
Dox with people from home and abroad
who will do credit to the occasion, not to
speak OF the dinners and the suppers and
all the other entertaining incidental to the
week. AS for the gowns that were worn
and how they were worn, even the most
fastidious could have scant ground for COM
plant. Some magnificent toilettes were
seen on the promenade and in the boxes.
and some correspondingly magnificent
Jewels too Mrs. Hoxie Clark of St. Louis
who was Louise Squires Of Omaha, was
one OF the conspcuously we'll dressed
women at every performance, while Miss
Flora Webster and her guest, Mrs. Arthur
Jerrems of Chicago, Mrs. Dick Stewart,
Mrs. j. H. Pratt, Mrs. w. o. Gilbert, Mrs.
Charles Kountze, Mrs. John A. Mcshane,
Miss Mary Mohler, Miss Kirkendall and
Miss Mary Lee McShane were equally
noticeable.
AS for the men, well even the most criti-
cal are making public confession that they
we're credit to the women they attended
Once there was young man who was
so anxious to participate in the fun planned
at the expense of a departing bride and
groom that he jumped from a rear window
of the house where the wedding reception
was being held and landed in a vat OF
paint Such a mishap would have been bad
enough in ITSELF but to make matters
worse the young man was wearing a Dor
rowed dress suit. This is a true story,
and though 1t did not happen in Omaha,
the young man WAS known to a very well
known Omaha girl, and will serve just
as well as a lesson to other hasty persons
who find joy in the embarrassment OF
newly married people.
Unless somebody has been very much
nisinformed, there is going to be a wedding,
n which society is very much interested,
pmetime after the fall election and be-
lore congress convenes.
