4 [ —— LENTEN DOINGS IN SOCIETY | What the Swells Find to Amuse Them During the Dull Period. BHORT SEASON PROMISED AFTER EASTER Marriage of Two Quite Well Known Young People -Bivthday Partics Galore -Short Chroniclings of What is Golng On World. Little has been offered the past week in y of social diversion. There have been few entertainments and those that were glven were upon a very modest and retiring scale. Some of the dowagers have been meeting around, ostensibly to sew upon gar ments fr the poor, but a quiet game of eards followed an hour's work with needle and thri and then gossip for the rest of the afternoon. The younger women have or- ganized cooking classes and these promisc 1o be rare good fun for the members until Lenten reflection gives way to the dawn of spring. Snow piled up on the strects and the shops filled with summer fabrics, Lent is alwa devoted to the planning of summer gowns. There Is one thing that women will not deny themselves for others, and that 1s their pet soamstress; and these same pet scamstresses are greatly in demand just now, although weeks and months must elapse before gowns now made can be worn An glish letter has stated positively that the prince of Wales has lately been t with brass but- reliable individual, seen in a colored dress s tons. The writer Is and states it as a fact. Perhaps the report fs true that the prince has given up dauc: ing, and this gay dressing may be a so:t of consolation. Well, if our Anglomaniacs give up dancinz and o woro than ever about the doors of the ballroums It will at least be an advantage to have them attired In pleturesque costumes, Welsh rarebit parties are all the go this winter, and everybody has a new recipe Silver ‘chafing dishes are in great demand, and it is a great card for mam or woman who can produce & new mode of cooking this compound. Welsh rarebit and beer are aquite the thing after the theater, and the very informality which must needs accom- pany them secms to be much liked, and in- vitations do not go begging. Ball.

The company was drilled In the manual of arms, first by the numbors and afterward without the numbers, and it was remarked what excellent progress had been made In the execution of the manual.

The Omaha Woman's club met last Mon- day afternoon with even a larger number of members in attendance than usual. The business, wilch cousisted principally of a new woman's paper, soon 1 in Omaha, was rapidly disposed of by the adoption of a motion to give the paper all ald possible. The educationai department, under the leadorship of Mrs. © Grace Sudborough, furnished one of the most interesting pro- ch the club has listened since As leader of the depart- grams to wl its first meeting, ment Mrs. Sudborough appeared first on the plattorm and read a very carefully pre parcd blographical sketch of Pestalozzi. One of the charming features of the paper was the manner in which the reader drew prac- tical lessons from this great teacher's fail ures as well as successes—one chief point being the fact that Pestaloszi never profited by others' experiences, but wasted fully half of his life in for himself turies before. The ten young lndies who gave the club an example of what physical training will do proving lich things to be untrue others had sett for a woman as to grac d endurance were roundly applauded srved to be, for if there is one thing an American woman needs more than 1other it is Letter health and stronger muscles, The training school as managed by Miss Bradley will surely help in these essentials, Mrs. Dr. Towne has always been the most popular woman in the club anl the Learty and prolonged applause which grecied her when she appeared before the ladies snowed that she is still a fa Her theme was “The Power of Observing as a Mactor In Edueation.” * The idea underlying the paper was that to one who does not observe life is a blank, like going through a gallery ot beautiful pictures blindfolded. Mrs, Towne begged the women to imagine ‘hemsclves a class of school children for a liitle while and she would then be right at home. She then took up the wood of the hecch tree, gave a_ history, description and uses of same, not forgetting to mention its aristocratic rela- tion: told what articles in common use were made of this wood and illustrated her remarks with pictures of beech trees, a basket of beech nuts, pressed leaves and a section of wood taken from a tree. The attention paid the speaker by the ladies showed that the subject was full of Interest and instruction. In speaking of birds not liking the beech tree particularly, Mrs. Towne touched on the bright future when no woman will wear a dead bird on her hat. The diversion was received with much clap- ping of hands in all parts of the house. Mrs, Fannie Arnold sang a solo full of sentiment, “Just as of Old,” followed by “When Love is Kind,” both selections being well received. Mrs. Frank Heller followed in a lengthy paper full of bright thoughts and witty comparisons, which she called “An Ap- peal.” The duties of parents towards teachers were set forth, and as Mrs. Heller bas had the experience necessary to give her ideas weight from the teachers' stand- point, the paper was particularly pleasing. Dr. Augusta Chapin, having been elected An honorary member of the club, was called on for a little speech and responded in a few well chosen words of congratulation for the apparent interest manifested by all the members in the proceedings as well as the phenomenal membership in point of num- bers. Adjournment was then had until Monday afternoon , March A Pretty Lenten Wedding, A very brilliant social event occurred Thursday evening at the residence of Mr. J, T.

The folding doors to the back parlor were thrown open to afford ample room for the guests to witness the ceremony. The rooms being brightly lighted added to the elaborate decorations and made a most charming effect. Promptly at 8:30, as the strains of Mendels- sohn's “‘Wedding March,” played by Miss Grace Chamberlain, floated through the rooms the bri al party entered, led by Rev. Dean Gardner, Miss Anna Withrow as bridesmald and Mr. F. Merrick as grooms man, and immediately taking their places the ceremony of the Episcopal church was performed.

The series of organ recitals which Mr. Tabor has inaugurated admirably supply in a good degree a musical feature which has been sadly lacking. That the above is an indisputable fact is evidenced by the large crowds which throng the First Congrega- tional church Sunday after Sunday and li ten attentively and appreciatively to the in- teresting program rendered. These organ recitals are established musical features in the other cities, the time varying to suit the conditions of the people, some organists giving them on Saturday afternoons, others on :Sunday. The latter day is 'better adapted for matters of this kind in our hustling western town, where we enjoy few holidays and have not yet reached that stage where we conduct our affairs in the quict and orderly manner of older established places, taking a half day on Saturday for recreation_and pleasure. In Chicago Mr. Harrison Wild of Unity church is probably in the lead in the manner of organ recitals in that city, having given his 150th on last Sunday. Toronto, Canada, favors this feature in her musical life to a great extent, Mr. J. Lewis Brown of the Bond Street Con- gregational church, Mr. Arthur T. Blakeley of the Sherbourne Strect Methodist church and Mr. W. E. Fairclaugh, F. R. §. 0., at All Saints’ church. There have been mild attempts herctofore in this direction. Mr. Tabor once started a series of Saturday afternoon recitals, and Mr. J. E. Butler of Trinity cathedral for a time played a few numbers after the Sunday evening services at that church, but to Mr. Tabor belongs the credit of having made these recitals a success. There is nothing more elevating, and to see the large num- ber of people—especially men—who attend cess I8 certainly son why Omaha S 10 T gratifying. There should lag behind in so popular form of musical life. We have organists, organs, commodious churches and an’ intelligent and appreciative public. Omaha is growing every day in matters artistic and begin- ning to support in an encouraging manner all forms of entertainment of an elevating and refiying character. The program of Mr. Taber's seventeenth | organ recital was one of the best of the series. The “Adagio, F minor,” by W. T. Best, was well played. The composer of this piece is one of the best known English organists and organ music composers. The “Cantilene Nuptial” of Dubias, ‘a light, and one in direct contrast to the preceding, was an agreeable number and much enjoye Lamentation, by Guil- mant, was probably the best organ number. This piece is exactly what the title indi- ates, its opening movement being character- ized by an uncontrollable wail, which finally dies away with a low, calm movement, in- dicating resignation and >, Mr. Taber had the assistance of Hans Albert, violinist, and that artist has seldom played better than on this occasion, the “Faust fantasie,” by Sarasate, being par icularly well received, as also the Schubert serenade, which was played by re- serenade, well ren facken sang Czibulka's request, which was very dered and enjoyed. Mr. Walter Wilkins is greatly encouraged over the manner in which the public coming forward in aid of his concert, and its success is already assured. Mr. Wilkins will be assisted by Mrs. Cotton, Miss Bishop. Mr. Lombard, Hans Albert, Mr. J. E. But- William Cox, Reader, and possibly by Mrs. Hesse-Fuchs and the' Boyd's orchestra.
