A Pretty Dancing Party at the Gar- rison~Card Playing a Pleasant Form of Entertainment—Move- ments and Whereabouts. LOVE UNEXPRESSED, Constance Fentmore Woolson, Uho sweetest notes among the human heart- il . adjusted by the angels, Aro clogged with dust; We vipe and pipe again our dreary music Upon tho self.samo strains, While sounds of crime, and fear, and acsola- tion, Come back in sad refrains. On through the world we go, an army march- ing, With listening ears, ach longiog, sighing, for the heavenly music He never hears; Each longing, sighing, for a word of comfort, A word of tendor praise, A word of loye to ch Of earth's hard, busy Bhey i tho endless journey days. vo us and we know it! this suffices s00's share, ould they pause to give that love ex- rossion. “With gentle carel ‘Why should they pause! But still our hearts are aching With all the gnawing pain Of hungry love that longs to hear the music, And longs and longs in vain, re We love them and they know it. If we falter, With fingers numb, Among the unused strings of love's expres- sion, The notes are dumb; We shrink within ourselves in voiceless sor- row, Leaving the words unsaid, And, side by side with those we love the deares In silence on we trend. Thus on we tread, and thus each heart in si- lence Its fate fulfills, Waiting and hoping for the heavenly music Beyond the distant hills, T'be only difference of the love in heaven From love on earth below Js: Here we love and know not how to tell it, Aud tiere we all shall know. The week of socicty has been protty dull. Tt has been marked only by a few card pai ties, two or three luicheons, and several theator parties, with a pretty’ dance at the garrison to give the dwellers in town n taste of army entertainment and hospitality. The quict which prevails throughiout tho exclusive circles of s v is variously ex- plained, but the most plausible reason scems to be the {)r--\' lence of la grippe, which has had countless vietims among the leaders of the beautiful world, There is hardly a well known family in the ¢lty which has escaped tho afliction, and hére are many still suffering from its visita- tion. People feel littie liko entertaining ‘with sickness in their home, and until the matady disappears the quiet which at pres- sent prevails may bo expected to continue. The wedding of Miss Luna Dundy and Mr. Henry Newman next Wednesday even- ing will give the members of the upper circle chance to put on their swell gowns and bring back memories of pre-Lenten gaities. But at best the remaining portion of the soason will not be brilliant, for already a number of the leaders are planning flights either to Kurope, to California or to tho sea- shore, and somehow an entertainment is not an entertainment without the presence of these prande dames who give color to recep- tion, ball or dinner. Then the debutantos Jong for their outing, and altogothor the se son promises to finish 1n & walk mstead of a canter, - = wide brimmed, with low crowns. The one thing that is talked of now, in fact the all-absorbing tople, is the after Kaster wedding. At the fashionable church wedding the bride no longor wears the con- ‘ventional white robe entrain, but 1n its stead a cloth gown, which just escapes the ground, with wrap and bonnet. A handsome cos- tumo that will be worn by an April bride is of light gray broadcloth, trimmed with os- trich feathers; an Elizabetnan cape lined Wwith rose-pink ptush, with large de medici collar, and hav to match. = Another will wear & gown of gray, with Stanley cape lined with moss green with toque, surrounded with a wreath of timy pink rosebuds. ‘Threo sets of *bridesmaid’s hats are thus described : One set, intended for quite young @irls, is of white velvet,in the three-cornered ape, edged with a narrow bana of white V;'—riull feathers and a downy mass of softly tling tips all over the crowns, with two ‘white wings smartly standing up from among tham at the back. A second set 1s of similar shape, but of bright red, trimmed in the same way with red ostrich_plumage and two gray ‘wings peeping out. This touch of color is to correspond with the costumes, which are 4gray. A third set is of white felt, round and Round the edgoof the brim is gold cord, and around the crown are curled white ostrich feathers, tied toether in front by a white velvet bow and gold cord. To those who are contemplating & visit to our English cousius, incidentally ‘“‘doing" the continent, the following hints for au outfit may not be out of place. The follow- ing things are necessary: A light mackin- tosh that will stand -hot climates; o dust oalc; a teaveling hood and plenty of wraps. c0 hats for the steamer will not bo too ; they soon get to look shabby. A soft silk that will pack into a small ass and does not easily crease will be useful as u change for diuner, with some worotty silk blouses to vary it. A neat tailor- madd dress for the vovage, facket and ulster, and two or three cool dresses, Washing silks aro preferrable tocotton or zephyrs, as dunp does not affect thoir appearance. Fars aro in the way, but a boa ofton proves useful. Forinland a couple of ball dressos for ove- ning receptions, also one for fotes theaters; u rlding babit, a sty hor . A deal case, lined with tin, to con- taln the best dresses; a strong box for linen, boots, shoes, books, and odds and ends, and two regulation portmanteaus, one with the ©cool, tho other with the warmer arvticles of apparel, High Five at the Millard. Tuesday evening the Entre Nous club held s second meeting of tho season at the Mil- dard as the guests of Mr. and Mrs, robe, Mr. and Mrs. Deitz and Mir. and Mrs, George Kelley.

A Sclentific Evening. A somewhat unique and exceptionally en- tertaining exhibit of class work, was offered last Thursday evening at the Academy of the Sacred Heart, Park place. It sot forth a succinct summary of the great geological eras as recognized by the hypothesis of mod- ern science. The result furnished a gratify- ing spocimen of tho daily labors accomplished by the graduating class of 1801, Regarded merely as a testimony to this diligent toil and intelligent handling of material, it was most satisfactory; as a manifestation’ of memories at onco vigorous and cultivated it was indeed remarkable, for the four youug ladies dealt with each subject fluently, with perfect self- possossion, and without the aid_of written notes. The attention of the audience never flagged and was aroused to still greater vi- vacity by the topics which dealt with Ne- braska in pre-historic periods. Rev. A. M. Coloneri presided over the exercises, and ox pressed much gratification at the proof thus afforded of intelligent eunergy, diligence and taste. The musical numbers were well ren- dered. ‘‘Le Trot du Cavalier,” was executed with spirit by Misses Myer aud Lemon. Miss Cushing’s interpretation of ruklingsleid showed musical talent that gives great proui- ise for tho future.

Mr. Hans Alvert, violin, formerly of Theo- dore Thomas' orchestra, aud Mr, Joseph Gahm, piano, gave a recital in honor of the Apollo club and friends last Monday evening at Apollo club hall, Young Men's Christian association building. The programme was brilliantly rendered, Mr. Albert particularly displaying an abinty as a violinist which was a profound surprise to the members of Omaha's musical club. His technique is wonderful and he plays witlr excellent judg- ment and feeling. The programme, which is apponded, shows the extent of the performers’ ability in the line of elassical compositions : Gavotto in b minor. .. Bach-8t. Snens Nocturne, o flat.

The programme was quite varied, it being the evident design of the teacher to give his pupils ail classes of musical composition in order to show their ability as performers on the piano. Four young ladics, Miss Vida Mosloy, Miss Pearl Page, Miss Stella Beaford and Miss © Parker, opencd thie programme with zmont overture op. 84, by. Beothoven.” The number was vemarkably well played, all things taken into consideration, the tempo being particularly well marked. Bessie Bowlby,a little miss of eleven years, gave the “Socond Valse Leute” by Delibes and was followed by Mildred Lomax, a daughter of Mr. . L. Lomax, general pas- senger agent of the Union Pacific, who played A Emery’s “Spring Morning” very deligntfuliy. Irene Hospe rendered Beethoven's *‘Sonatina’ in a manner that reflectod mucl credit upon her teacher, but it was lft to little Gertrude Hospe, a Very protty and in- teresting littlo woman aged five, to mwake the hit of the evening by her rendition of Boethoven's “Romanze.”’ The little girl who was quite a favorito of Mme. Adelina Patti when she was here last year, astonished hoer friends by the faultless man- ner in which she played the composition, and 50 great was the applause which followed that Gertrude responded by singing “Lovely Angeline” m a sweet, childish way which went to the hearts of tno andience. Ilowers followed her singing in great number and for tho rest of the evening she was a lioness, all the compliments seemiugly not having the least offect upon her. Miss Louise Kelley played a Rubinstein number, the next selection on the programme being a Chopin maznrka op. 6 No. 2 by Miss Holen Martin. The voung lady has an ex- guisite touch and played the number with excellent skill and appreciation of its many possibilitics. Miss Kate Preston followed with “Tm- promptu, by Schulhoff. Miss Ethel Seaver rendered Lichner's ““Das Souvenir," Mr. Todd's most promising pupil, Miss VidaMorley, came next, playing *Polka de Concert,” by W. V. Wallace, in an excep- tionally'able stylo. The composition abounds in technical difficulties, which wore readily overcome by the young lady. Mr. Todd closed the very successful recital with ' Liszt's famous *Rhapsodie Hongroise No. 27" in which he displayed musiclanly qualities of a high order. ; A Spiuder Web Matinee. Mrs. Lally, who is acknowledged by all to be a charming hostess, gave, on Friday, one of the most pleasing and artistic entertain- ments of the season. The idea she inaugur- ated, and so successfully carried out, being as novel as it was beautiful. The cards read “high-five,” but a gevuine surprise awaited those so fortunate as to share this lady’s hos- pitality, and her pretty way of designating partners and tables will long be remembered. On entering the parlors a lovely sight' met the eye, a daintily woven spider wab of par- row ribbons was spun_from corner to_corner and from nook to nook. Each guest choosing a ribbon proceeded to untangle it from the web, thereby finding a table and partner as- signed. To carry out the idea, little spiders, bugs and butterflys of every description were piuned to the different winners during the games, The refreshments were by no means a smail part of the afternoon’s enjoyment and were served in a manner wholly correspond- ing with the novelty which characterized the entireentertainment. Each room was taste- fully decorated with flowers and plants. The handsome prizes were awarded. to Mrs, Cole and Mrs. Miner. Among those invited were Mrs. J. H. Blair, Mrs. E. V. Lewis, Mrs. B. F.
