As the no court of verbal naturalization before which new words can be required to prove their title to the privi- leges of linguistic citizenship, every one must be a law to him or herself in their use. Tv would be a good rule, how o one, but especially for girl young women, on whose lips slang sounds ~ even worse than on those of men and boys, to omit words and phrases of this char altogether from their conversation and to vitalize and enlarge their vocabularies from the large and excellent stock of words to be found in standard dictionaries and in the works of good authors, There are really quite a number of good, vigorous and ex- pressive words in the Enghsh language already if people would only take the troublo to become acquainted with them, and verbal street gamin and gutter words can, in general, oft to the sphere in which they women throughout y extremely funny that the wives binet officers and a number of promi- nent men in \Washington have been ser- iously cadcussing over the proposition to omit at their recular weekly receptions any kind of refreshments, The problem pre- sented has been as seriously and fully dis- ussed as the Hawal question has been by the cabinet. The necessity for this is found in the fact that official receptions have grown to be so formal that many at- tend simply to et a little luncheon. It has bécome the custom for stranger: Washington, says Perry S. Heath, to tn” all of the receptions given by the cabinet women and tho wives of the most prominent men in congress. Up to a recent date these visitors have been welcome, as they have made up a groat crowd, lengthened the line of carriages and pleased the ambition for an immense throrg. It has been discovered that not only these respectable strangers, who are sojourning for a day at the national capital, but a great many residents who are In hard lines on account of the adverse in- fluences of the predominant party upon com- mercial affairs have been in the habit of at- tending the receptions to get something to eat, At a recent cabmet reception it was found that some of the callers went so far as to stuff their clothing with sandwiches, cro- quettes, ete., after gormandizing, As Lwo of the voracious callers were leaving a house their clothing was caught in such a way as to dislodge upon the steps and in the hall- way a large amount of edibles. ‘I'he women of Washington who run social affairs are largely to blame for this condition. They have set before their callers w feast of edibles of all kinds, and have been so formal in their receptions s to make timid persons feel confortable only when they have retired to the dining room, The decision has been practically made that there will be no more Tuncheons at formal receptions except upon invitation, where cards are issued request- fng attendance, Revival of the Locke Club. For the first time in eight years the Locke club held a meeting at the residence of Mr. Henry D. Estabrook Tuesday evening, the presence of Mr, Sidney I. Locke, the per- petual president of the society, in the city making the meeting vossible. In bygone s the Locke club stood for the best in the ntell d social hife of Omaha, only mar i» ble being eligible to mem: bership. But for eight vears the club has been totally forgotten except in the rts of those who enjoved the social fel- hip of the organization quite seventeen rs ago. Mr. and Mrs. Locke have been visitigg their daughter, Mrs. Judge Ives, for several days during the past week and Mr. Istabrook decided to briog as many of the old members as possible together about “the table round.” And the entertainment tho host 1 provided, ably isted by President Locke, gave to the members a taste of past glories when the club was m tho heyday of youth. After a speech from the president, full of reminiscence and a tinge of sadness he and there, musical numbers were given by Mrs. Hitehcock, Mrs. Squires and Mrvs. Nye, while recita tions by Mrs. J.

M. C. A. hall, January —————— IN LOCAL MUSICAL CIECLES, Tt must have been a great deal of pleasure to Mrs. Frances Moeller to notice the warm enthusiasm with which she was received Tnursday evening at the farewcll concert given in her honor at Metropolitan hall, and also the cordial reception accorded the artists who appeared with her in an excep- tionally fine program. The audience was large, satative heads of Omaha families being ent, members of Trinity cathedral, Unity church ana the Congregation of Isr vieing with each other in their ef- forts to show this capable woman how much they esteemed her and her work done in their interests during past years. It was an_exi ingly appreciative audience, an audienc ily to appear vefore; in conse- quence it deservedly ranks among the bost local recitals ever given in the metropolis, and was a most fitting finale to Mrs Moelier’'s conscientious labors for the advancement of music in Omaha. At the last moment, just before the open- ing of the recital, Mr. Martin Cahu was taken suddenly sick, nocessitating u change in the program, Mme. Muentefcring, with her usual graciousness, consenting to play i piano solo, although somewhat unpropared for it, but she is always in practice and with her usual brilliancy played an “etude” and “en courant” by Godard, two brightly written bits which set the audience in ex- cellent humor for what was to follow. Pennell, ono of the very best of i s, gave*O, Ruddier than the Cherry,” by Mandel, from that famous composer's lyric story of ‘“Acis and Galatea.” It was splendidly sung, Mr. Pen- nell being in fine voice, his well trained bass showing to advantage in the song,which has not beeu done to death as some other bass solos have that the writer recalls. “Dost Thou Know that Sweet Land,” from ““Mignon" was Mrs. Moeller’s solo number, oand she sang as she nover sang befor Her deep, rich contralto reflected the sadness of dissovering ties and visions of happier days seemed to rise in her mind’s eyo as she sang the song that has been im- mortalized by a Scalehi, a Cary, a Seguin. T was most appropriaté and the encore it won was a glowing tribute to the singer. For he cove she sang that pretty thing by De Koven, “Ask What Thou Wilt,” and Toeller never sang so well. Sho has fine que, good expression and soul, indis- squisites in the good artiste, many of the rep- ; and surprised oven his best frie the strength of his uppernotes. Mr. Wil- kins has beon working, that was evident from the acceptable way in which ha ren- dored “A Violet in Her Loyely Hair, by Campion, sung with fine shading and excel- lont judgment. Mr. Wilkins® notes re excecdingly sweet, y seemed to have an additional forcd as he struck o flat on several occasions throughout the song. Ior an encore hesgave “The Lover's Good- night,” by Draper, Charles Higgins pl numbers, the d two short violin § by Moszkowsk and No. b of Brahms-Joachim’s Hungariaa dance. Mr. Higgins_has talent, he bows well and has good techniquo and he plays very intelli- gently for so young n wmusician. 1f he will now devote a little more time to hard study the future will have bright things to give . Cotton was down on the program for he sang as ana and b num- Delighu Gilehrist and “ne Gypsy Cirl by Donizeuti. It would be hard to tell just which of these numb was most artistically given, In the first sho showed the souly and deep fecling of singer, in the technique, as requi in colorature swork, for Donizetti's g abounds in roulades of a most ornamental character. So well did Mes. Covton renc these two numbers that she was compelied to give another before the audicnce would be satisfied and she chose Roeokel's clever ballade, “She Stoops to Conquer,” a dainty 1 composition singularly frec of affecta “Hearts Chy Sontinel Am I' was Mr. Lumbard's s number, which ho sang with fine appre tion of its many possibilitios. Mr. Lumbara s always relblo and he Justified the estimate formed of him in thesc columns some time ago. Ho is one of the very best sing in the west of o ce tain kind of songs. “The Low Backed was his encore number. And bost of o 3 the quartet, “The Ses Huth Its Pearls,” by Pinsuti, which fittingly brought the concert to u close, Mr. Butler was excellent in his accompaui ments, as was Miss Higgins, the wholo on- tertalniment being upon a Ligh order of ox- cellouce. o Buchanan, chairinan of the musical department of the Woman's club, announces toall mombers of the Ladies’ Musical clety that a mooting of the department's ety will bo held in Myrtlo hall annex, Continontal building, Fif und Doug las stroots, (Fif ot entrancn) Thursday, January 30 p. m., and ra quosts a very full attendance Mr. and Mrs. A, Hospe entertained detightfully at their " ovening o fow friends g honor being tho distinguished pia Me.
