Fuphrosyne Hastens to Don Her Sackcloth Garb for Forty Days Forlorn. DINNER DANCE INTRODUCED TO OMAHA Doings of the Howling Swells During the Past Weel—Ash Wednesday's Near Ap. and Card lore, pronch—Receptl Parties ¢ Only two more days until Tent casts its mantie over the social world and tired beaux and belles, to say nothing of the dowagors, will seek tho seclusion of @ boudoir or something rosembling rnat form of quiet ness. “Healtn restorative parties” are al roady being organiced and tho indicatious aro that whon Ash Wednosday makes its ontranco, with an accompanying dirge of sackcloth ana ashos, a great many of tho more fortunats girls will go away for a fow woeoks to rogain their strength and bright 100ks—possibly they will go somewhero where Lont is unknown and there keop up the round of pleasures loft behind. It's always the way, Society rushes and tgufs around at A breakneck pace during the ,acason and then when Shrove Tuesday closes in everyvody settles down to a period of in- activity. Thatis the improssion that goes abroad ef tho followers of tho beau moude. Of course they don't really, beoauso the droad- fui monotony of Lent is broken by “'small musicales," “lectures” and “theator partios,” all theso forms of ontertanment being allow- avle among the less strict obsorvors of the Lenten ritual. But from the experience ot & Society Woman the foud mammas who send away their daughtors are the only ones ‘who have the right idea of ““a complete rest.” They have given all the care and love to tho daughters who ure in the swim; they have constantly watched over thom, taken thoir Lieaith, looked after their golosbes and wraps, warned them of the ovil influences of sitting fn draughts and generally have been tho Fidus Achilles of their marriageablo girls, and to theso the Lenten rest comos with thankfulness and joy. It means that for them the wheels of ‘social activity will ceaso 10 revolve and all social machinery como to a stauastill, Sarah Bernhardt's "gowns in tho “La Tosca” porformance carried correctness as to epoch as well as wsthetic beauty. The robe in the third act was of especial eleganco, On a petticoat of white tullo embroidered vith gold dots and bordered with a ruche of tullo in which pale pink roses were held at intervals by lovers’ knots of pink ribbon, she WOro an upper dress of white satin émbroid- erod with gold fleur de lis, This rich fabric forming the low corsage swept from the shoulders down to form the tramn and the full- ness of drapery on the front of the skirt, a girdle of gold confiuing the fullness at tho waist. The sweep of this silic overdress was ottlined on one sido from the right shoulder adown the train and across the bodice to the edgo of the pointed drapery by a garland of wild roses, a spray of laurel leaves and ber: es of enamelod ‘goid and diamonds looping tho folds of the drapery on the right side. On \ theleft a double loyers' knot of diamonds quught the overdress up to the waist line, gNKing a piquant display of the elaborate underdress already described, which was worn over a slip of white satin. A superb diamond necklace and a bracelet of immense rubies and diamonds wero the jewels worn Wwith this dress. Bernhardt has a beautiful back, with dimplos that reveal themselves at every movoment of her shoulders, and she mlways wears her corsage cut in a way to show these enviable beauty marls, 3 s 1t wasn't to be wondered at thatour Omaha Elrls should rave over Monsieur Darmont, ernhardvs leading man, just as the girls of New York and San Francisco have done. T'wo years ago he was a reporter on ono of tho Puris papers. One night he took the reg- ‘ulak tritic’s placo at the first performance of *Joan of Arc.” The classical beauty of his face, the manly strongth of his figuro, caught the groat actress’ eye at once. She sent for him, urged and commanded him to give up his caveer and let her tutor him in acting. “Voila!” as madame herself would sa; He felt he had no special talent for the stagi indeed, had no reason whatover for attemy ing to becomo an actor, except Bernhardt's desire. No man can resist her, they say, and young Darmont was not an exception. What though she be at least 43, and a srmllhnolherl Was not the famous Ninon c I'Euclos so attractive at 80 that her own great-grandson fell dsarfirunely in love with her, but committed suicide because of the hopelessuess of his suit? 2 s not the great naster, Balzac, devoted ty or thirty of his masternieces tostudies f tho women of a certain age, which monns, tako it, the woman of 40 or moro, 2 Bernhardt has lived such a rapid life— compressed so much of passion and excite- ment into it, that somehow it seems fmpossible to ' think of her as out of the *'sturm und drang" —unshuken by omo- tion, old, infirm, But hor power, for none will gainsay that it oxlsts, rests largely upon that olear, low ‘voice (the sweetestsurely that mortal woman ‘was ever gifted with) and thoss dark, lumin- ous eyes, that like the heart brim over ‘with moisture when aroused. Why, she haa only to say “Bon nuit, messieurs' to the re- porters presonted during her midnight visit 1o Tue Bek, under the escort of Mr. Rose- wator, o make willing slaves of all those who cnme beneath hor getle spell. In every century sinco history bogan there have been certain women possessing tho witenery of Lilith-the power to beguile men. Lady Macboth was such _an one, Pompa- dour, du Barry, Potochi,and in oar own days Langtry, Bernhardt, yes even Zolie do Lus- san und Lillian Russell—all of them of this. Type. Y] t is far boyond beauty of feature or form, 1s this secret by which women beguile man’ kind. You can’t define it—it is a trick that has baflled the subtlest analysts of women. Michelet, Balzac and de Maupassant in France, Thackeray and Georgo Eliot in Eug- lana and even our own word-spinning, over- elaborative novelist, Howells, bave had a try at defining it--and failed. Tt {s a mysterious faculty,inborn and not to ‘be acquired. Culture and refinement may enhance it, It cannot be created. Now that I am talking of Bernhardt it may not be out of place to say right here that she wrote her name on uito half a dozon tea tray clotus and othor things sent back to the stago by the swell ‘women of Omaha, And she signea them without as much as a murmur, but remarked iend that American women were the %fl's ereatest faddists, I wonder if that cabe true! * e A Worklug Girl, “4lot of Omaha's 400, ;@ she naively saya, would like to know (1) . it is customary in Omaba to reply to an ‘dovitution to an evening reception; (2) ‘whetner you should leave your cards if you 28tiend or send them if you don't; (3) if you Avo L make a call afterwards whether you attend or not! Ail invitations shouid be answered ‘whether you expect to be present or not; cards-should be left 1f you attend, and good usage sanctions, if for an afterndon recep- tiou, that thoy may be sent by aservant duy- ine LLe hours of the reception; calls must bo made whether you attend a reception or mot. Jot Musically Entertained, . The young ladies of St. Cecilia’s church Kuve o vory pleasant musical entertainment + Thursday evening, at Exposition Hall. The rogram was under the direction of Miss 'auline LeWitt, organist of the church, and that young lady deserves much oredit for the successful mavner in which she handled 1t Mrs. Joseph Ritter's randition of *‘Sleep +Well, Sweet Augel,” in which her rich, con- tralto voice was displayed to much advan- tage, was a treat in itself, and ‘won & merited encore. Mr. Murphy delighted the large audience by jugiog, in & masterly manner, Faure's great SIGrbld. gave a very pioestog” dust- Miss ng duet. | Pauline “DoWite sau “Auswors" in hor We.l, bure soprano voloe, very artistically, ard for an encore, “Every Iose Has Iis g l.hel tenor solo, manner, " Toran oucore, Sovys Sorman My oseph Ritter created a delightful sensation ulndn& Mr. 'W. T. Taver's new soug, arred Out,” but was too modest to an- @wer & tumultuous encore which was sc- corded him. After the complotion of tho | musical part of tho program, an_olaborato supper was served, and altogether it wasa very enjoyablo affair. The Cuming Dinner Dance. The dinner dance given by Mrs. T. B, Cuming at the rasidence of her brother, Mr. Frank Murphy, on St. Mary’s avenue, Wednesday evening, in honor of Miss Stella Hamilton and Miss English, was the etown ing event of the pre-Lenton season. While dinnor dances have been particular features Now York fashionable life it was its first O otor 10" the sweils’ of Omaha and naturaliy occurring at tho handsomest house 1n the metropolis the evening couldn’t help but prove delightful. As might have been expected, everything was on an _elaborate scalo. Tho dinner began at 7 o'clock, tho guests sitting at small tables, and at' tho close of each course tho men, napkins in hand, progressed upward, ‘'a very enjoyablo feature,” as one fair girl put it, “for 1t gave the women an opportunity to meet all her gon- tlemen friends.” The tables were decorated in white and green, tinted tapers giving forth subdued rays from muti-colored shades, After the dinner which served as o charming prelude to the cotilion which was to follow, the men repaired to the smoking room, tho women rewaining below stairs to listen to Miss Mury Popploton’s singit. At 10:30 the cotillon was inaugurated in the billiard room and ball room in the third story which was canvassed for the occasion. Mr, Caldwell Hamilton leading with Miss English. 1In honor of the father of his coun- try the cotillon took on an air of patiiotism, the figures were arranged to cover the colonial, revolutionary and present period of our country, the firat favors being moccasins and pipes, then hatchets and chorries, guns and sabers, red and whito roses and violets, eagles and flags of all nations, Tho second indirect figure might with entire proprioty be called “Questions and answers concerning discoveries and discoverers.” It was danced in this wise. Large whito placards were painted with the answers to the questions given to the ladies in envelopos. These pla- cards were suspended about the necks of the men, the ladies dancing with those who car- ried the answers to their questions. As for instance, “*Who assisted Columbus in his discovery of America?" was enclosed in an envelops, while on the placard was printed “Ferdinand and Isabella,” and the young laay having the question danced with the man carrying the banner which answered the question, But there were several lu- dicrous mistakes, tho young women, in their haste to dauce, not caring much whether they danced with the men who properly rop- resented tho answer to their questions or not. ‘I'ho fifth indirect figure was very protty—tho thirteén original state: The sixth direct was the stars and stripes, Amer- ican eagles holding the tri-color being the favors given. Tho seventh indirect com- bined two figures, north and south and guns and savers. The ninth indirect was particu- larly beautiful. Using the May-pole dance as a suggestion, a large staff was brought in to which was attached a_large banner bearing the words, “The World’s Fair,” whilo be- neath it were countless red, white and blue ribbons. The closing figure was tho flags of all nations uniting under the acgis of the starry folds. Miss Stella Hamilton was prottily gowned in bluo silk, while Miss Bnglish, & fino ap- pearing young woman with a face that mignt <asily bo mistaken for Priscilla Mullens’ in contrast with Miss Hamilton, wore a red crepe gown and red slippers. Miss McKenna wore a handsome costume of white mulle over pale blue sillk, beauti- fully trimmed with lace and tiny biue bows, blug slippers. Miss Orchard looked lovely in a white mousselline do sole, with a white girdle em- broidered in gold bow kuots, Miss Melliora Woolworth wore a pretty frock of white mulle over pink, whilo guest, Miss Maud Woolworth of Sioux City, appearad 1 pink crepe. Miss Rawles wore an exquisite costume of white silk and white passementerie, irri- descent trimming. Miss Chambers wore a stylish blue silk, blue fan and slippers, Miss Hughes, white and green velvet and carried deop rod roses. Miss Hambleton of Minneapolis wore white over pink with lots of lace and ribbon trimming. Miss Brown looked particularly wellin a pink dross with a girale of pearl passemen- terie. Miss Chandler wore a fotching costume of blue silk and biack lace. Miss Mary Poppleton wore her favorite color, red silk. Miss Doane, a pretty white mulle over pink with quantities of lace and ribbons to relieve it. Miss Emily Wakeloy appoared in a haud- some gown of yellow silic with ostrich feather trimming, Miss Nash wore an old rose, changeable silk which became her well. Those who danced wero: Miss M.

Royal Arcanum Party, Union Pacific council of the Royal Avcanum has given a number of very pleasant partios, but quite the pleasantost was the musicale and dancing party of Thursday evening. Metropolitan hall was none too large for tho crowd that was present and the committee having the party in charge deserves un- stinted praise for the able manner in which”| the eveut was ‘managed. Of course it was annoying to the artists taking part in the musical program to be interrupted by the constant movement of persons coming into the hall, but that could not ba helped, and, all things considered, it was a pleasant suc- cess, The event of chiefest importance on the program was tho “Andante and Allegro from Sonata op. 8,” by (irieg, piano and vio- lin, Mme. Muentefering at the former instru- ment, Mr. Max Lentz violin. The number was quite brilliantly played, Mr, Lontz showing fine techunique, his bowing too bolng worthy of praise. Muo. Muenteforing as usual with her played musicianly, and it was a treat to Lear her in Griex's brilliaut number for piano snd violin, Mr., Lentz violin solo, “'Elegie,” by Krnst, was u gem and was received with gratifying approval, But the completo program was. as follows, all the participants deserving praise: a.

For Sweet Oharity's Sake, Society is often accused of being heartless, but there is seldom a charitable movement to which people of social distinction do not lend a helping hand if asked to. The Na- tional Pageant, which has just had tnree successful prosontations in Omaha, was a conspicuous example of this fact. Nearly 800 persons gavo freely of their time and energy 10 1ts production, and the magnificont result is a flattering commentary upon their gener- ous kindliness. The Pageant represeatod in the form of tabloaux & number of the important eras in Amorican history. The manager of the af- fair brought a groat many costumes of cor- rect istorical design, and quaintly curious many of them were, Iach tableau employed anumber of persons, who wero effectively posed, and_the sceno was frequently helped out with appropriate music and explanatory speech. The participants acquitted them- selves creditably, and all are ontitled to com- mendation for the excelleace of their efforts® The Pageant opaned with a scene represent- ing Columbus (Charles R. Sherman) making his last_plea for help. He stands before Queen Isabella (Miss Rena Hamilton) and King Ferdioapd (Dr, B. F. Crummer), scated on a white torone, About thew ard groupod lords, ladics, pages, monks, tho chancellor and a nun, The queen listens to the navigstor's plea, then arises and pledgos her jowels, if nced be, to give tho desired help. Tho second tableau renresents the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth vock. In tho center of the group is tho white-haired Goy- ernor Carver (W. H. Alexander) with hands lifted to hieaven, and at his side is his wifo (Mrs, I\, Colpetzer). Some of the Pilgrims are gazing out upon the sea in tho back ground, while others are anxiously examin- ing an Indian (Charles B. Newcomb). Tho Courtship of Miles Standish 15 given in two scenes. Tho first opens with P lla (Miss Kate Bradley) singing at her spinning wheel. John Alden (L. I, Crofoot) enters and prosonts Standish's offer of marringe. Priscilla rojects the proposal and co “Why don’t you speak for yourself, John " John “took the hint, and the second scene dis. closes his wedding in tho presenco of o large company of colonists, Miles Standish (Charles Barten) enters at that mowment, takes in the situation ata glance and in a pretty pantomime blesses the newly made couplo, The fourth tableau shows a colonial kitchen with an abnormably large family, and is intended to illustrate the sphero of woman’s work in the good old days. The mother (Mrs, Haines) Is crooning to an in- fant. A daughter of uncertain ago (Miss Whitney) is ironing the week’s washing aud sings a song full of hove for the lover that nover camo. A schoolmarm (Mrs. Poor) has a class 6f youngsters in one corner, but the unruly pupils are distracting her with their antics. 'Flw tatber (W. H. Alexander) has been rocking a' cradle made of a burrel, but his hands have been busy shelling corn. As he takes up tho dummy infautand sings a lullaby ho gets a salvoof hands from his friends. Other children are employed dara- 10g, knitting, spianing, washing dishes, ete., and the whitehaired grandfather (P2, W. Heory) and grandmother (Miss Perrine) sit peacefully in their midst. X A stately affair is vhe Reception of Wash ton (W. G. Doane) and Lafayette (Alfred P, Wolcott), who aro assisted by Martha Washington (Mrs. D. W. Benham) und Mr and Mrs. John Adams (A. P. Guiou and Miss Emily Wakeicy). The feature of this affair is & minuet danced by Mr, and Mrs. Clement Chase, Messrs. Charles Wilson, Notberton Hall, Augustus Iountzo, Earl Gannett, C. A, Wanner, L. F. Crofoot aud Lieutenant Whitman, and Misses Hoagland, Laura Hoagland, Blanche McKenns, Sadie Nash, Bertha Yost, Bessie Hall and Daisy Doane. “The ladies aro in the daintiest of quaint gowns, with powdered hair and feuther fans, Their cavaliers are in colored knick- man, erbockers and embroidercd vests and coats with voluminous neckerchiefs and white wigs. As thoy move with slow, measured tread to the music of the orchestra aut?m\v and courtsey it makes ono of the prottiest pictures of the whole affair, The Battle of Bunker Hill is represented by the scene of General Warren’s death, Warren (Dr. W. G. Spencer) has been caught in the arms of General Putnam (Lieutenant-J, S, Mallory). A British red coat is in tbeact of bayoneting tho fallen hero, but his arm is arvested by (eneral Pitcairn (Captain C. A, Dempsey). Conti- nental and Boglish soldiers (members of the Second infantry from Iort Omaha), are groupcd about these central figures like so many statues, as though they had been in- stantaneously petrificd 1n the midst of a canflic A comen le quartet sings 'he Sword of Bunker Hill,” ‘fhe Declaration of Independence is repre- sented allegorically. A group of continental soldiers oceupy the tage with America (Mrs, Poud-Pope) in their midst. The Triaity cathedral cholr boys march in singing a hymn and America reads tbe preamble and the pledge of the immortal declaration. A second scenc opens revealing thirteon young ladies in beavtiful classic draperies of white arranged in a pyramid with the Goddess of Liberty (Miss Anna Bishop) atthe apox. Columbia (Mrs. J. W. Cotton) steps forwara with a flag and sings “The Star Spangled Banner,” ‘Che departure of tha Nebraska volunteers for the war is cleverly imitated. The car- tain goes up on @ party of boys and ivls waying handwervniefs to an approaching company, ‘The Omaha guards under com- mand of Captain Mulford marches 1to view aud go through a few mancuvers, The war governor (Hon. John L. Webster) enters upon the sceno with this staff and presents tho company with a flag, o gift from wives usnd sweathearls. The commandor responds briefly to the governor's speech, and tho boys in blue march awav to the tun of *Tho Girl I Left Beuind Me,” Womanw's patriousm is illustrated by a hospital sceno from the war, and it was one of tho most effective of the prograw.

Another starls up iu his sleep and calls our *“*Mother!” A flower girl (Miss Bertha Clarkson) enters, singing “Howe, Sweet Home” in a soft, sweet voice, and passes from cot to cot, dis. tribuilug her fragrant blossoms.
