QUIET DAYSINSOCIAL REALNS Events That Transpired Among the Swells Last Week, SMALL PROMISE FOK BRIGHTENING SKIES Musioale at Mrs. A, P, Wood's Residence— Wedding at St. Philomena’s—Sar- prises That Traly Surprised— Movements and Whereabouts. The continuous rainy woather of the past week may have dampened the ardor of so- ciety devotees somewhat, but the last seven days have been utterly devoid of interest ein the beau monde. A few small luncheons have been given, a card party or two, but outside of these functions there has been nothing worthy of extended mention. With fair weather. howover, the gar- den party will soon be a candidate tor favor and there is no moredelightful form of entertainment than the lawn fete, Chief among the events of the present week will be the concerts by Sousa and Damrosch, which will give society an oppor- tunity to don its fine clothes and add luster 10 what promises to be four magnificent concerts, The reception at Brownell hall will be the distinct society event of the week, while dinners and luncheons to the visiting clergy and laity will also add to the pleasure of the Episcopal church's silver anniversary in Nebraska. Succesaful Musical The musicale given at Mrs. A. P. Wood's resiaence on South Twenty-fifth street Fri- day evening was wonderfully successful, a Iarge number of guests being present to help the aid society of the First Presbyterian church. The program was well selected, and introduced to Omuha's musical colony several new voices that promise great things in the future, The house looked very attractive, the porch being hung with Chinese lanterns, The program began with a piano duet, Moszkowski's “Spanish Dances,” played by Miss Clara Hawley and Miss James. The number was artistically rendered and was an earnest of the good things to come. Miss Ne ole Ogden sang “Absence,” by Pease, in a manner that quite captivated her hearers. She 18 posscssed of o heavy contralto voice which was partcularly well adapted to Pease's gem. Mrs. M. Parrotte quite aston- ished her friends with her violin solo, *‘6th air et varie,” by De Beriot* She showed fine technique and very effective bowing. For an encore she gave Schubert's “Serenade.”” Mrs. C. M. Wilhelm, who has jrecently come among us, = sings beaut fully; possessed of a rich soprano voice which she used musicianly, it was heard to A?{llul advantage in t fine composition of Dudley Buck's, “When the Heart is Young.” For an encore she gave a little lullaby, at once dainty and pretty. Mr. L. A. Copoland always sings well and he was in particularly good voice on this occasion, choosing for hiis number Nessler's bass solo, *ItaVas Not So to Be.” The cornet duets g‘y Miss Isabel Patterson and Miss Julia ‘ulleys, two ycung ladies of Council Bluffs, ‘were genuine features of the plensant even- ing, the performers handling their instruments well. Mrs. Matheson ‘was at her best in “‘Aunt Hattie's Visit,” the village gossip being done in character costume that in itsclf quite con- vulsed the audience. It was a cleverly told story, in Mrs. Matheson's best vein. As an encors this charming woman recited ‘‘Her Ideal.” Miss Hawley's piano numbers were played with delightful expression and in good taste. Mrs. Wilhelm sang again, this time the “‘Spring Song,” by Oscar Weil, with violin obligato, by Mrs. Parrotte, which was particularly fine. The audicnce was euthusiastic and the musicale netted the ladies of the society a snug sum. Protty May Wedding, .~ Tuesday evening of last_weekAfr. Georgo W. Craig and Miss <}ifirgaret B. McKay WP ‘marrica at the home of the bride's parents, 5158 North Twenty-fourth street. Rev. George A. Conrad officiated, using the wimple, short, yet impressive form of the Congregational church.
