SOCIETY LEARNING TRUTH Panctions Which Have Illumined tho Past Seven Days, NEIGHBORS MEET AT SAUNDEFS' RECEPTION Debut of Miss Mary Nash One of the Sig- nal Successes of the Keason—Other Events Whereln Soclety Was in Evidence, Until recently more than thres-fourths of all mistresses who did not wish to see | eallers instructed the maid or footman to say | “not at home,” and the lie was called a| white one It any kind of a one, and ex- cused on the ground that “not at home' was merely a formula for saying not at home | to callers. | This winter the attendant is bidden to say: “Yes, Mrs. Blank is at home, but begs | 1o be excused.” Nobody but a peddier thinks of arguing the matter after this. A card is lett and the caller retires with no thought of a slight, understanding that the message 18 given in good faith, for one of a great many possible excellent reasons, and not to him or her exclusively, but to all who may all. Many hostesses who “have a day” when they are at home to all callers, are obliged to deny themselves at nearly all other Umes in order to reserve time needed for their thousand and three other duties or pleasures, whether soclal, domestic cr what not. People who do not call upon regular visit- ing day cannot be disappointed at not find- ing a friend free to recelve them. And whether one has or has not a visiting day it is so0 polite and honest and excusable withal to plead an engagement of some sort that requires one to be excused from sceing chance callers, the latter cannot possibly take offense If they are sensible. And those who are not sensiblo will be mollified by the fact that the usage in good society has come in with a vim that promises perma- nency. In addition to saving the consc'snces of mistr some slight shock, the new regime of asking to be excused instead of saying one is out s a decent consideration for the morale of the servant. The most impassive servant always betrayed the lie in repeating a not at home order when it was untrue, a certain self-consclousness whic try as the maid or footman would, did not ap pear civil. Moreover, not infrequently the fam- ily carriage at the door or some other sign betrayed the presence of the mistress within, though she was invisible. Society, thank heaven, way 18 mending its Menu cards should never under any cir- cumstances bo used at 'a private dinner. Each guest accepts whatever is served, and eats of it, or at least must have the ap- pearance of so doing. It is an evidence of fine breeding to seem to be happy whether one 1s content or not. To be able to accept the situation as It is, even though the food and sentiments be not in accordance with his own thinking, is an accomplishment very desirable n the diner out. Formal dinner partics in these days, when given after the style of the Russlans, is made so easy that Dboth host and hostess have nothing to do but make themselves agreeable to their guests. It is courtesy for the host to di- rect, as It were, rather than sustain the conversation himself, not forgetting to use tact in drawing words from the tmid, who are usually silent, and coming to the rescue of thosa afflicted with embarrassment, which is a twin brother to awkwardness, On the other hard, guests must not forget that at a dinner, as on all occasions of hospitality, it is their chief duty to relieve their entertain- ers from any annoyance or care, with the knowledge that tho dinner is not given sim- ply for “the purpose of giving a material pleasure. Good talkers are invaluable at a dinner party, but good listeners, too, come in for their share of welcome. ‘“Silence when nothing need be said is the eloquence of discretion.” A very pretty fancy is to get a carpenter to make a little low table of pine and then to enamel It yourself with white paint, It you want something more expensive, have it made of cherry, and then paint it with a cluster of magnolia blossoms or chrysanthe- mums, Primarily, such tables were designed for 6 o'clock tea, being just about large enough to hold a dainty cup and saucer. This is a custom now as deeply rooted here as in EBngland. “Of drinking tea on winter afternoons From china cups with golden spoons.’” And every now and then some inventive genlus goes to work and makes some trifle or other to still further add to the attract- iveness of the 6 o'clock tea—if it isn’t a table, or a tea cosy, it's doylies, or tea cakes or candied rose leaves, which happens just now to be one of the nous hors d'oeuvres passed around at afternoon tea. _But these rose leaves, to be just the thing, must bhave been manufactured during the summer, by the fair hostess. Although summer Is over, possibly some reader may be the lucky reciplent of so many bouquets that it is not too late to make this con- fection—here is the recipe, at any rate: Spread the rose petals cut on clean papers and dry slightly for one or two hours, Make & syrup of a half pound of granulated sugar and a half pint of water. Boil until the BYrup spins a thread; take it from the fire and put the saucepan in a dish of cold water until it s partly crystallized. Dip in your rose leaves, a few at a time, and with a palr of wire tongs take them out and place them on ofl paper to harden—and volla, candled rose petals to grace the 5 o'clock tea table! The week coming gives little hope for so- clety. Wednesday evening the whist club will glve a german at the residence of Hon. and Mrs. G. B. Lake. Thursday Mrs, W, T. Rector will entertain for Mr. and Mrs, Charlos F. Scovil. Friday Miss Lindsey giv a reception for Miss Swan, Beyond this there are fow announcements The Saunaers Reception, The reception given by Hon, and Mrs, Alyin Saunders Thursday evening at their beautiful home, on North Sherman avenue, was remarkablo for the number of old citi- zens which their cards of fnvitation brought out. It is not often that so many old neigh- bors are brought together in these days of ewell functions as on this oocasion, There were faces noticeable throughout the even- 4ng that have not been scen at a public en- tertalnment for several ‘years, and the oce slon was made all the more enjoyable on that account. It was peculiarly an evening of reminiscence with the old folks, although the young people found an opportunity to discuss the coming marriage of one of their number, which is scheduled before Lent, and indulge in prognostications as to how the season would terminate, Roses and palms wero generously dis- tributed throughout the rooms, while an orchestra, stationed in the east parlor, played delightfully throughout the evening.

When but 6 Frieda made her debut in Bor- lin, playing correctly and with an excellent conception of the works, some of Beethoven's tions, When but 7 she played at Ki singen with full orchestra, this time rende ing Beethoven's C minor concerto. Little Frieda takes great delight in playing in pub- lic, and it {s said that the first question she asks on entering a concert hall is: ‘“Are the critics all here?"” These two young artists made their ap- at Carnegie M ted by the Damrosch orcheatra, ard wonderfully pronounced hit. Judge and Mrs. Dundy entertalned the aha Glee club last Monday evening at their home. The entertainment was not a formal one by any means, but was highly enjoyed nevertheless. About twenty of the members of the club were cordially welcomed by their host and hostess and Miss Dundy The first part of the evening was spent by the club in singing the songs which they have been rehearsing for the last six months, —“Night Witchery,” by Storch, “Comrades in Arms,” by Adam, “Breege of the Night,"” arranged by Macy, and “Annie Laurle,” arranged by Buck, were sung with precision and attention to shading heard in male organizations. “Nellie Vas'a Lady,” a beautiful arrangement for solo, with humming accompaniment, was sung with fine effect, Mr. Dan Wheeler, jr., singing the solo. The program was varied with a_solo by L. B. Copeland, “The Two Grenadiers,” by Schumann; two violin solos, by Prof. Kuchenmeister; “Simon, the Cel. larer,” baritone solo, by J. M. Baldridge; “Sweet Little Cherub,” by Wilson G. Smith; tenor solo by I. M. Treynor and “Medita. tlon” and a tenor solo by Chenery rendered by C. H. Ogden. J. H.

Thickstun, sang Buck’s “'Star of Love” wilh excellent effect, and for an encore sang ““The Grasshopper,’ arranged especially for the quartet from Verdl's opera, “Ernani.’” After the musi- cal part of the program had been finished dainty refreshments were served. While the smoke was rising from a score of Havanas Judge Dundy, who is a graceful and accomplished bear slayer, told of & num- ber of hair raising encounters he had had Wwhile he had been engaged in the work of shooting bruin off the face of the earth. The club's first “night out” was voted a success. Although accustomed to hearing good things at the recitals of the Musical depart- ment of the Woman’s Club, the meeting last Wednesday afternoon was exceptional, the entire program being of superior quality. The opening number, a paper on Bach, by Miss Ethelwynne Kennedy, was interesting throughout. ~ Miss Kennedy in her treatment of the life and character of the father of modern music did not confine herself wholly to the genlus of the marvelous and versatile writer of counter-point, but brought out the strong religious side of his nature as well. Mr. Don N. Long made his first appearance in Omaha in an a, b and ¢ number. Al- though the Chopin Nocturne was somewhat lacking fn depth of feeling it was correctly and intelligently played. The mandolinata, by Leschetizky, and the Rheinberger Etude both showed “to advantage the clear and finished style of Mr. Long's technique, and at the conclusion of the number he was re- celved with enthusiastic applause. Mr. Long may congratulate himeelf upon having scored & complete success and won & high place in musical circles, Mrs. Harry Nott, while a comparative stranger, 18 not entirely unknown amol literary people. Her paper on Handel was most entertaining, being in conversational style, with the scene lald in a London coffes house among the Bohemian element of King George's time. By this means and the writer's skillful treatment, the facts con- cerning the life, character and Influence of this well known composer took on a fresh interest, Mrs. Charles M. Wilhelm delighted the audience in Nevins' beautiful song, “‘Dorls,"” accompanied by Mr. Franz Adelmann, violin; Mr. S. B. Litovsky, cello, and Mr. W. T. Marshall, piano. The warm and enthusiastic reception umber succeeded in bring- Ing Mrs, Im_to the floor, but only to bow her thanks. Miss Bdith Wagoner's ren- dition of Schumann was a complete_triumph, Under her skilltul fingers these dificult and artistic compositions were most intelligontly glven. The tte In F major” was extremely well p! the phrasing being almost perfect. Miss Wagoner has easily placed herself among Omaha's best musicians, and we predict a bright future for her. Since the “St. Cecelia” quartet the Ladies® Musical society has not had the pleasuro of bearing a ladies’ quartet equal to the one which sang last Wednesday. Composed of Mrs. Charles M. Wilhelm, Mrs, John L, nedy. s Morton and Miss Frs Roeder the success of the quartet sured beforehand, and Rees' compos Oh, Tell 1t Her,” gave evidence of the care- ful and consclentious study the quartot is doing.
