b O WORLD OF FAIR ~ WOMEN Boolaty Fnjoys a Week of Delightfal Ploas- ure in a Quiet Way. MRS. JOHN L. WEBSTER'S CHAI'MING €0 Mrs. John Darker, Mra. Charehill Parker and Miss Marker Entertain Detighi- fally -Reception Kensington &t Courtinnd—Social Talk. Socially the week has been decidedly pleasant, although the absence of functions o which the men were invited was most marked, ‘There is o growing disposition on the part of the leaders of Omaba life and fashion to give afternoon receptions, veas and kensingtons, ignoring the Wact that thero are many men who would be glad to add their presence at afternoon receptions could they be during the hours of Mrs. Web- ster's tea, 4 10 7. However, Omaha men are yet bound to their business enterprises, and until there is a brightening of the financial skies the men of the town will personally direct their correspondence and other mat- ters up to the day's closing of their estab- lishments, . Handkerchiefs have reachod tho aame of daintiness, Ab engagement present re- ceived by a girl the other day from a school friend wns o heart-shaped white silk hand- kerchief case containing a dozen handker- chiefs. Six were unusually small dn size, made of silk mull in pale tints of violet, pink, blue, yellow, green and ecru, with tho rders delicately embroldered in white silk bow-knots. ‘The other six were of white chiffon, imished with a tiny rufle of fine French la ‘They apveared @ irifle more ornamental thau useful, but they were surcly the .daintiest handkerchiefs ever made. By tho way. the efoct of the White City's light and brightness 1s even now showing in house decoration. Said a woman Inst weel: “Why, throo months ago I wasafraid to paint our house light, with real pronounced color lights hero and there, but since the fair I want it all white with mural frescoes in pink and light blue and yellow. 1 am 8o tired of the somber English cottago tints.” As it looks now fashionable people will soon comeinto interior decoration for houses whic will savor of the clean simplicity of the col- onial effects, with a_touch over all which will be gay and dainty in coloring—a happy combination which will not be Queen Anne, nor Louis X1V, but as it should be, up-to- date American. & Mme. Adelina Pauti “has arrived in Amer- ica and beging her six months concert tour November § in New York. While in Shef- fleld, Englaua. recently, where sho sang in concert, the great diva had n more pro- nounced success than ever before accorded the wonderful urtiste. Talking to u represonta‘ive of the Shef- fleld Daily Telegraph while in that city, Mme. Patii sma many things worth repr duction, showing not only profound knowl- edge of her profession, but a broad and com- prehensive appreciation of all that is going on in the world around her. ‘to her intcrviewer, who asked whetner her “confessions” which have b i copled were nccurate, la diva said: domot know what you have been reading. All the paragraphs that _appear about me certainly are not true. Butas regards my confessions. Well, honesty is my favorite trait in man, and faith in ‘woman, Dickeus 1s my favorite author, my favorite place is my nome, and my fayorite story is my own. My favorite cecupation is singing, my favo ite actross 1s now Ellen Terry, but I loved poor Adelnide Neitson, who, in my opinion, was one of the finest Inglish actresses we -Jave ever had.” “Ard whatt are your favorite colorst” “Pale blue, pale pink, and cream and all delicate colors,” she repiied, “*but I posi- tively hate red and yellow and ail those glar- fng loud colors.” “Have you any particular rules,” the rep- resentative of thic Telegraph -asked, **where- by you preserve the marvelous freshness of your voice?" “No," replied the madame frankly. “Of course I am careful of mysclf, that goes without saving. For instance, when I am oing to sing I should not care to be receiv- ng visitors all day, but otherwise I talk and laugh, and go on in my usual fashion. It never maies the shghtest difference to me, The same with my food; 1 certainly avoid sloppy things and highly-seasoned sauces and gravies. ButIcan assure you that I mjoy a good square meal.” Just then o telegram is brought in which madamo asks permission to open. “I know itis from my husband,” sho says with o bright smile. And then she reads 1t aloud It tells her that he has had a famous day's shootfng, expresses the hope that she is not, ftigued with her journey, and ends with dearcst love and o thousand kisses. *'It is always a thousand kisses when L am away,"” remarks madame, “but I never take them, it would take too long a time. He is not ac- companying me just now, for my tour {8 8 very short oné this time. I commence here only four moce concerts and then wo are off to America. I start at Now York ou November 9, then sing at Philadelphla, back agnin to New York, then on to Boston, Rochester, Buffalo, Washington, Bal Cleveland, Detroit, Celumbus, Cincinnati, St. Louis, ivy, Indianapolis, Louis- ville, Nashville, Atlanta, Memphis and on Jaauary 20 I sing at Chicago. 140 not kiow the particulsrs of the rest of the tour, ex- cepting that I finish off at San Fra aud I hope I shall return hume in Aprit. ‘When asked which were her favorite operas she sald ““Traviata,” *Lucia” and “Semiramide.” Of Wagner she said: *I admire Wagner's music exceedingly, but I say that it is impossible for an urtiste, whether maie or female,who sings Wagner's music, tokeep hisor her voice fresh and sweet. 1t effectually ruins the voice, and much, as I said before, as I admire Waguer, Tnever onany pretext, singa note of his music,"” The estimate formed by the interviewer of the marvelous woman, who made her debut swhen but 7 years gold is told in theso words: “There is n warm geniality about Mme, Patti Nicolini, u simple straightforwardness that makes hex manuer simply irresistible. She is so absolutely natural, so thoroughly amiaple and so genuinely sympathetic that she not uulg wakes the most fascinating of hostesses, but you find it difficult 1o realize that you ave in the presence of the greatest songstress of the nge. Acting on the aduges, that you cannot gild vefined gold, and that the lily requires no paiuting, it would be superfiuous for me to say more about the undoubted charm that surrounds the per- sonality of Mme. Patti.” Mra, Webiter's Ton on Friday. The tea given Friday afternoon by Mrs Jobn L. Webster for her charming and ae- complished daughter, Miss Webster. who is one of the season’s brightest debutautes, brought out the swells in large numbers, “ithe biggest crush of the sepson,” as one of the guests expressed it.

AS VIEWED BY OMAHA WOMEN Tadies of Literary Tnolination Read Several Interesting Papers on Grecian Art. REGULAR SESSION OF THE WOMAN'S CLU3 Yroducts of Paint Frash and Chisel Dis- eussed—Mrs, Catlin Revives Plensant Memories of the Columblan Art GalleryThe Meeting. At the Woman's club last Monday the question of preliminary prayer was agnin sprang by an amenament to the by-laws being offered. This matter has already been discussed, and when the matter comes up in due form will be met with an avalanche of opposition which will bury 1t so deep that it car hardly be resurrected this year at loast. The club is hardly a religious organization, and as ohe woman said, “1et the work of the Jvomen be one continiml offering to God, but let us dispense with all mockeries," The order of business was changed so as to arrange the program first and new busi- ness afterward. It is thought that this ar- rangemont will expedite matters and also insure promptness in getting together, as no aber will want to miss the program. The department of art, under the leader- ship of Mrs. C. R. Mcintosh, is not one of the largest departments, but the members aro interested deeply, as a visit to one of their meetings will prove. Miss Evans was first called on for a paper entitied “'Avt in Ancient Greece,” and was the first woman to venture to the top of the platform, but it being demonstrated that this made 1t ensier for thuse in the rearof the house to hear, her examplo will bo followed by all those who come hereafter. Art in Aunclent Greece. Miss Evans said: “In the infancy of Greece, as of any other nation we find primi- tive man defending himself against tho eloments by building crude habitations agaiost his encmies, by constructing rough fortifications (both useful arts), and finally as he goes forth to war, he scratches pat- terns on his weapon—thus decorative art, the first spiritusl want of barburous man, is born. While the bards sang their soul stirring epics describing their warfare the art vhat later realizod these forms in marbie was slumbering, for art is generally the florescences of a country. Nations first vro- duce warriors to make conquests, poots to sing their epics, statesmen to ke their laws, and finaily philosophers and artists to portray the feelings, the spirit of vhe times, in sculpture and painting. The topography of the country had a great influence on Greek civilization, and, al- though they may have in the earliest times imitated the art of Asia and Egypt, they dopendently developed it as they did thoir language and religion. Out of the nebulous past stand a few remains of early monu- ments—the gate of Lions, the treasury of Atreus, which some think is a funeral vault, and the ancient tombs, in ove of which was found a steer's head with gilded hor: The oldost oxcavated temple of Greece—that of Hora at Olympia—scems to have been a treasure house as weil as a place tor sacrifi- cial worship Long centuries of experiment- ing must have been required bofore the pe: fect harmony of the sterner Doric, the grac ful Tonic and fuxuriant Corinthian orders were developed. Groctans Adired Physioal Beauty. ““To understand Greek art better weshoula understand their habits, civilization, ways of thinking; for after all an artist caunot stand 80 very high above his time that con- tomporaries are uot able to understand and enjoy him. The Greeks loved physical beauty above all. They were not bothered with dressmakers or tailors, but each dress partook somewhat of the individuality of the wearer. The courtof honor at Jackson park opens our e8 1o something of the glory of the Acropolis, ouly as one is fleeting, the othei made of stoue and marble, the inspiration, the life, tho religion of Greece.
