Sewing societies, reading civeles and literary after- im of the Lenten ient of those who noons have broken the ted days to the thorough enjoy have fasted that the feast As for the future, there is little in prospect to give comfort to the assiduous follower of Dame Iashion. A few events of sharacter are spoken of, but they hold out w0 glittering promises of great pleasure to she gilded belles and beaux who are in the swim. A wedding or two will furndsh the gossips with materials for chats about this that and the other thing, but beyond this the post Lenten scason gives small hope for those who make society a business as well as Do you want to_be beautiful, even in old age, then foliow these rules and you will be all you desir: Fat regularly and not too much.

Dinner was announced and the gue were about to be seated when the hostess begged them wait an instant longer. She hurriedly whispered instructions to her but- lar, and, with a sigh of relief, gave the signal for the company to be seated. The place of the absent guest was supplicd by the butler, who, in accordance with his orders, re- wmained seated until the first course had been acrved. Shakcspeare's Women, Mrs. Keysor must have felt highly compli- mented by the large number of ladies who faced the most trying day of a most trying month to hear her lecture on “Types of Shakespeare's Women” at Lininger's Art gallery Wednesday afternoon. It was a_delightful surprise to those pre: ent when Mr, Jules Lombard rolled forth his detiance of the weather in the rollicking notes of Myron Whitney's celebrated “Nancy Lee.” In response to a hearty encore ho gave an equally inspiring selcction, *Here Upon My Vessel's Deck,” the noted virate's song from Ricel’s operd, *I'he Duke of Edin- burgh." The genuine student and lover of Shakes- peare must have been charmed by the groupings and clever delincations of charac- ters interpreted by the lecturer, while those who had not even read him might have found intense pleasure in contemplating the beautiful, gracious and noble types of women s0 set before — them; as the author the paper truly d, “types s0 olastic as to represent the greatest and humblest among us,” almost as many as great Nature herself has given us. While it may bo impossible, as Mrs served, to say unything new of Shakespea the originality of the speaker was shown by a skillful “rearranging the visions of glory 80 that from their changed positions and proximity to each other new lights were shown, never seen before,” und she gave the turn to the “kaleidoscope that made one marvel for the hundredth time at the power and delicacy of the master hand.” It was fitting that thu speaker chose to dwell upon the lights rather than the shades of Shakes- peare’s creations. *“The author's whole atti- tude,” said the speager, “toward women, whether in the plays collectively or indi- vidually, is flattering to the sex. In only clearly of ono of all his dramas is thero no woman strongly drawn, and to our credit, and as o tribute to the poet, be it said that only in ‘Timon of Athens', the tragedy of despair, is woman as o great influence’ entirely lacking, this magnificent gy woman to be found, the s only one trivial alse Cressida, whose trifiing the poet takes pains to impress us is not common among her kind. The author of the paper brought forth Isabella and Tmogen as the saviors associated with them, stating that s in which their characters were delineated i with all the conditions of tragedy. That in them men are found slow of action as Huamlot,us jeal as Othello, but instead of a weak Ophelia or & Descemona they are associated with a Portia ora Hermione, un Isabella or an Imogen women above everything else beautifully feminine, and yot stronger than theso glants of tragedy, inasfar as right all-powerful and long-suffering is stronger than wany fortified with all of the forces which it can draw to itself in times and places of moral corrup- tion, Of Cleopatra, that rare east, was said: “She stands so peerless in her domain we dare ot classify her. She is a species by herself, unmatched and un- matchable,” Mrs. Keysor's paper was so systematically arranged, so beautiful in its entirety, and the personality of the speakeradded so much 10 the attragtiveness, one does not like to quote from e khnt At same future time she may be induced to repeat it for the benefit of those not privileged to enjoy it The fourth and last lecture of the course will bo given on Wednesday, at 4 p. w., by Mrs. Elia W. Peattie. Subject: “In Memor- iam.” as tion of the Their First Entertalnment. The *Unique Club,” comprising s few of Omaha's young men aud organized within the last few weeks for social and literary purposes, gave its opening reception Friday night at the residence of Mr. H Cex, 20610 Harnoy street.
