MRS CUMING'S ' PRETTY DANCING PARTY
Mm nmt Wnmrn A Veil Known In tlin
Hinnrl World rrnmUr * for tlio Moil
lirlltlnnt Wrrk Hlnra the
Holiday
The Inner circles of socloty have boon nr-
rayed In two factions slnco Iho charming ro-
coptlon at the MlllarO , ono slilo contending
thnt calls should bo mndo upon all the ladles
whoso names appeared In the tnvltntlon ,
while thn ether faction I Just as positive that
only those who are personally known nnd
with whom cards have boon exchanged ,
nhould bo callca upon. TUB Bun has boon
Importuned to glvo its opinion as to what Is
correct form In the promUm.
Whllo It Is not the Intention of ttm paper
to antagonize these who hold to the former
idea still tlioro appears to bo only ono com
mon sonsa vlo\v to talto of what is really an
Important question.
Socloty usages nro based upon common
sense and peed brooding , they aim to boa re
flex of the nlguost educational Ufa and of that
Innate rollnomont wbicb is so necessary tote
to the wall being of the social system.
Whore thrco or ( our Inil'oi ' Join in a rocoo-
tlon and invitations uro sent out containing
the names of those wbo will roccivo , it Is
quite safe in presuming that previous to the
issuance of the Invitations each lady prepared
a list of those whom she desired to aonor.nnd
that the lists were revised In order that
names should not bo duplicated. Quests
therefore have to look to those with whom
they have oxchnncod cards or calls for the
honor of the invitation and it narrows Itself
down to those with whom the entertained are
acquainted.
Hud the ladles unknown , to thosa invited ,
enclosed their own visiting cards with the
invitation , it would have boon an unpardona
ble broach of gontla breading not to have
called upon them nftnr the reception ,
lor n card sent with an invitation
U the equivalent .of a personal
visit , so regarded everyvvhero on this and the
ether sldo of the wntor. None oi the ladles ,
however , did this , and to these parsons hav
ing only the acquaintanceship of ono or moro
of tbo ladles , who rccolvod , notwithstanding
an introduction was had , during the bourn of
the function , with all the hostesses , the
course to uo pursued Is very clear , yea call
upon these with whom you have exchanged
calls and courtesies In the past. Cards also
should have been loft , not for all the ladius
receiving , but for these who were personally
known to you , for within tbo meaning of so-
cletv the reception was given by your friends ,
while the ether ladles wcro simply assisting
in receiving.

Jack went out to dinner the ether night
nnd ho cama homo mildly dolightcd because ,
ns.lio said , "people were beginning to learn
something at lust and dinners were begin
ning to bo mode Interesting and enjoyable at
tbo expense of conventionality. "
, The roiLioii for all this approbation , it was
found out afterwards , was the unusual fact
that nftor ilrst asking the permission of the
ladles the host had ordered the cigarette ? to
bo served with the Roman punch , and with
everybody dt the table tbo men stroked and
enjoyed ih'jinsolvcs. Sometimes , Jack says ,
ho understands tbo ladles Indulge , too. and
ho suys It was very funny to watch the
.changeable * expressions of'tho girls as the
cigarettes wora passed to each ono in turn
They all t'ecllnod , of course , for it has not
yet growu to bo considered u propriety'over
hero for women to smoke , although now and
' then you hear of u charming toto-a-toto being
brightened by cigarette smoke.
#
, Apropos of this pleasant dinner and the
cigarettes , it Is told of a smart young woman
aud a young Danker that they were missed
.from a ball room recently , arid the young
worrian's 'alter ego wont in search
of tbo truant. The couple were
found sitting on the stairway
< dimly lighted by the hall Ilghtsmoklng cigar
ettes for dear llfo , and seemingly having the
most , companionablu time In the world. An
other man took tbo fair Phryno to task about
cutting tnc dance with htm , and remarked
that ho understood she was with the young
banker enjoying a nocturnal puff. The
young woman , who was mildly criticized by
the disappointed swain , intimated tbat she
Itnow her business and tbat an underatand-
inn- bad been reached between the banker
„
and herself , which remark has been variously
construed , and from this incident tbo an
nouncement of an engagement Is likely to
follow the Lenten lull. Thus cigarettes pluy
' ' no inconsequential part in some lives.
Socially the week past has boon "delight
fully quiet , " as ono young woman expressed
it , the pace of the week previous having been
too fast for the thoroughbredsevidentlytheir
determination to "bldo a Woo" being tanta
mount to a declaration of capitulation from
the fortresses which they have occupied so
long.

charming hostess ; she U thoughtful and con-
aidoruto and living in ono of the beautiful

question of adaptability and affability.
Thursday , MrsvDrako gave a card party

amoug the most pleasing of tbo events of last
week. The house was exquisitely orna
mented with flowers , pink being the general
tone. The front parlor mantel was embow
ered In In Franco and bonstlllno roses , while
the grata and aides of the mantel weio
banked with palms aud ferns. Tapers , pink ;
shaded , uud beautiful candelabra took the
place of gus lights , tbo effect being artis
tic and very restful. In the second parlor
thorn was a continuation of the thoughtful
consldci ailon so much a part of the
hostess' life. The mantel was decorated
with roses nnd relieved by hot house plants ,
nnd also tbo dining-room cumo In for n uhara
of the very dainty decoration , 'i'l.o tables
distributed throughout the throe rooms , nnd
thoio were fifteen in use , were covered with
iirlutololb. a very pretty Idea , ono that is
just coming In use in Omaha.
Mrs. IJrako was assisted In entertainer her
guests by Mrs. It , C. Moore and Mrs , A. V.
Boscho. Allss Allcu Draka looking after the
ncorcK for her mother. The score cards were
exceedingly pretty , in keeping with the gen
eral design of the entertainment.

sterling silver embroidery scissors and case ;
Mrs. Tutum took tbo third prize , a silver toi-
; ? tto case , the fourth prize going to Mrs. Col-
pnUor , a silver pen tray. A rather remark-
liblo fcatuio of the game was the closeness of
the scores of a numborof tholadies , ilvo hav
ing to cut for the second prize uud eleven for
Iho fourth prize.
During the afternoon the Mandolin club' ,
under Prof. Sutorlus , played charmingly and

Iho most Interesting musical event thnt
has transpired within the past low weeks
was the delightful recital given yostordav
nftcrnoon at the residence of MM. W. J.
Connell by the celebrated pianist MUs
Ncnlly Stevens. This eminent ni list visited
us nt the invitation of the Ladlos' Musical
society. Her program consisting of fourteen
very choice number * was faultlessly ren
dered and enthusiastically received. The
opening number "Toconto nnd Fiigtio"
( Bach-Tntisslg ) wus certainly the heaviest
plcco of lha evening , Inasmuch ns it required
great technical ability and breadth ot style ;
It was given In n true muslclanlv style and
with faultless execution. Her Interpretation
of the Beethoven sonatas , op. 31 and 110 ,
showed her cultured Intimacy with the
Beethoven school ,
Tbo manner In which she treated the com
positions of Chopin , Raff , Schumann nnd
Jndnssohn , showed clearly the versatility of
her high musical tnlont.
In the "Caprice Ushngnol" she seemed to
bo completely carried away oy Inspiration ,
duo perhaps to the fact that this , picco was
dedicated to her by the great master ,
Aloszkowskl ; it was played wltn true
Spanish abandon aud comp'lotoly captivated
the audience.
The other selections worthy of particular
mention were Von Bulow's "La Carzona-
tura , " nnd LUzt's "Tarantella" ( Vonezla o
Napoll ) . In the course of an Interostln ? con
versation with AlUs Stevens wo were gratl-
llcd to find thnt she was very well pleased
with her reception , and felt as though she
wor.o now almost n resident of Omaha. She
basJust returned from n successful tour
through the south , playing In Memphis. Now
Orleans , Atlanta , Indianapolis and Texas.
She Is now on her western lour nnd expects
to visit , nmongst other places , Denver , Atchi-
sou , Topeka , Lawrence nnd Kansas City ; on
the completion of her western trip she will
visit' tbo Noiv England states.
Miss Stevens will always bo welcomed in
our midstas nn artist of high standing ; pos
sessed with imiqh naturnl talent , and taught
by sufch ? masters as Moskowskl , Von Bulow
nud Liszti with whom she was a special fn-
vorlto ; stio Is destined to bo ono of the mosr
ronowncd'nrllsts that this country lias ovot

Never' in the history of Omaha has the
onward mnrch of music been so deeply felt
by all classes of the community as at present
This hrt Is'dally becoming 'more appreciated
und is Increasing rapidly in strength , aud It
scorns as though tbo elder patrons , instead of
resting on their oars , have brought further
energy und zeal Into their olTorts nnd. en
thused by the recognition of their work as
well' as by tbo co-operation of the rising gen
eration of sympathisers , they have determ
ined to do every thing possible to keep up the
musical1 standard of this otherwise well
known , city. , Thcro , is a glorious chance to
make Oniatia the koy-noto of the great west ,
imd.lt can assuredly bo done by the nnion of
individual persevering effort.
On ' 'Thursday' evening , February Jl , the
Apollo club proposes to provide n treat for
these tvho are fortunate enough to bo sub
scribers. tn addition to the attraction pro-
son ted at this concert , in having tbo baritone
roles In "Fair Ellon" and "Tho Enchanted
Swans" entrusted to the ronounea Ludwtg ,
the club ha-s secured the services of Airs.
Alurrav of-Chlcago , the well known harpist ,
and Mrs. Emma Backhus-Bohr of Kansas
City , wbo has already made an enviable rop-
uta'tlon as a pianist. Air. Ludwlg has boon
prevailed upon to glvo a song recital ou the
afternoon following the concert , so that these
who are uiiablo to attend tbo concert may
have an opportunity to hoar this celebrated
artist.
In VFair Ellon" tbo solo work has boon
allotted to Mra. Wakofleld , un Omaha vocal
Ut of note , and it U. understood that Airs.
jCotton , Airs. Nye and AIIss Clara Clanc
.will divide the honors in the more compro-
lionslvo work , "Tho , Enchanted Swans. "
' Omaha' U about to los'ofora tlmo oao of
hortn6st faithful , enorcctle and promising
musicians. Air. J. E. Butler , who b"as for a
long tlmo been organist and choirmaster of
Tiiuity cathedral , bus been advised bv bis
ocullst\to glvo up all work for a time. Ills
eyes have begun to tell him the sad file that
nature conquers art and that in his devotion
to muslo and in his close study he has over
taxed his powers of vision. After consulta
tion with eminent oculists bo finds that ho
must rest altogether if ho would preserve
bis sight. Mrs. J. W. Cotton , who has boon
a co-worker with him in his present sphere ,
talks of giving a complimentary concert as n
token of sympathy and appreciation of past
services. If she will do this she will un
doubtedly havo1 the assistance of every
musician in the city.
The "Philomela quartette" has been engaged -
gaged .to sing at a musical to be given at the
residence of Alra. Cornish on South Tenth
street , in nld of St. Matthias Episcopal
church. ' Jpbo , date of the musical has bueii
sot for February 4. This quartette consists
of Alls. Sundorland ( bettor known ns Miss
Georgia Boulter ) , Miss Clara Ctarkson , Miss
Bishop and Mrs , Moollor. Their work nt
Mrs. Cotton's recital on Thursday ovculng
was decidedly pood.
The "Ariel" ' quartette of Boston U ex
pected to sing at the Young Men's Christlau
association concert hall on February 18.
They nro assisted by John Thomas , humorist ,
nnd Mr. Woltbr Pick , pianist. This prom
ises to bo highly entertaining.
On Thursday , * February 4 , a grand concert
will bo given In the Young Men's Christian
association hall on Dohalf of a fund which
has been opened tp improve tbo nppoaranco
of tbo hall. The concert will bo under the
nranagornuntof Air. L. A. Torrons. uud the
following local talonf : Mrs. Wakollold , Aim.
Nye , Miss Ogden nnd Miss Amsdon , wno
form.tho excellent Komocko quartette ; Miss
Luella Allan , violinist ; Air. Copeland , bari
tone ; , Mr.AIawhnll , , Mr. Foituor und others.
It is always interesting to hoar of the suc
cess of Umahu pupils , especially so wbcu
they make a "hit" In Now York. AJUs Lotha
Cook'o' Blair , who will bo remembered as a
pupil of Airs. Cotton's of vorv great promise ,
and who recently .vent to Now York for o two
years' course at Mmo. Thurbor'a National
School ot AIuslp previous to studying ( n
Europe , la mooting with line success
in her studios. Sbo passed the rigid
examination demanded fiom candidates
on entering , with great credit , being the
Ill-it of three selected from n class of forty
applicant . At n recent performance of the
"Messiah" bv the pupils of the school , she
sung "Rejolco Greatly , " having boon
selected from a class of eight young ladies
wbo were studdylng the saino aria. The
members of tbo examination comnuUoo were
enthusiastic ever Aliss Cook's voice , declar
ing it was perfectly placed , aud paying
thereby a high compliment to her toacber.
Such , on endorsement us llin , coming un
sought , mutt he very gratifying to Mrs.
Cotton , Inasmuch as it bears strong testimony
as to the excellence of bor method.
Alls. L. A. Torrons. who for some months
past has been studying iu Now York , has
left that citv for Boston whcro sbo resumes
her work of acquiring perfect vocalization ,
Her former work will secure for her a cor
dial reception on her leturu to Omaha.
There are whisperings as to the possibility
of Inducing tbo great and only Paderewskl
tovlMt us. Why cannot some music-lover
who has spare time on baud take the matter
up and astonish the musical world of Omutia
by tbo advent of thU gonius. Tbo matter is
being talked about anil many are willing to
help flnaaclally and otherwise. A leader is
wanted.
