Society emerged from Its lethargy last
week , and tlio bang of cnrrlngo doors , the
shouts of the drivers nnd the calling out of
cnrrlngo numbers was a welcome sound to
the votaries of Dame Fashion. Mrs. Frank
Colpctzcr had the honor of giving the first
ftf tcrnoon reception of the season , nnd the
crush sometimes wns something prodigious.
Mrs. Frank .Tohnson throw open her now
house to the public on Wednesday evening ,
and the compliments the hostess received
must hnvo more than compensated for the
trouble , which nvcn tlio smallest function
entails. Then there wore several card par
ties , a Kensington 01 two nnd several teas ,
BO that the debutantes had a forolaito of
what the suasoii has in store for them.
*
Ono of the most * stylish nnd popular
gloves Is the "mocha" or caster elovo , which
Is a comparatively nmvcandidate for general
favor. It Is only a few years since it was
first. Introduced , and during the past two
years It nns hccomo known and liked ni
one of thu most stylish forms of hand cover
ing. The reason is that the mocha glqvo is
'
far tnoro ilurahlo thati the undressed' kid ,
ono palrof tlio fotmcr outwearing at least
two pairs of the latter , whllo It cannot bo
distinguished from undressed kid without
the most cutoful Inspection. Tlio
mocha glove Is made from the
skin of the mocha sheep , which
abound In Arabia. Abyssinia nnd around
the head waters of the Nile. The hides are
shipped ft urn Port Said , on the Suez canal ,
ami uro n f.ivinlto m.tlcrial ot line glove
manufacturers. They are nil Imported In
the hair and nro dressed In this country.
The supply Is limited , especially of tno lamb
skins , and hence tl.o glove will probably
novcr hu as generally sold as Is the kid ,
which It now rivals or surpasses. It 1
susccutlblo of the most beautiful coloring ,
suitable for slreot wear without Injury , and
It is no wonder that It has become a favorlto
of the feinmlnu as well as the masculine
divisions of society.
Musically , the season promises great
things , il being the intention of Mr. Hans
Albert and Mr. Gahm to civo a scries of
three subscription concerts of chamber
music , with the assistance of the now 'cel
1st , Gustttr Fochringer , who comes to
Omnha highly recotmiic-idcd. In addltioi
Mr. Albert will organize a string iiiartct ] for
concerts , interspersing the progr.im with
violin , piano nnd 'cello solos. Chamber
'music Is the most delightful form of enter
talnmcnt. thu world's greatest composers
having given iiraeh attention to composi
tions of this kind. During the lifetime of
the great German classic composers the no
blllty took the greatest possible interest In
fostering music nnd engaged men like
Haydn , Mozart and Beethoven as
their composers. These musicians
who wrote for the private apartments of n
priiico , Haydn alone writing over thirty
symphonies in the service of the music-
loving Prince Esterhazy of Austria , were
called "Katnmormuslkers" chamber
( com
posers ) und their creations for orchestra
trios and ( juartcts were classed as "Icam
mormusik'1 i. c. , chamber music. To Haydn
belongs the honor of having invented
the string quartet , his compositions
for first and second violins , viola nnd
violmccllo being among the stroneost works
now played. But the perfection of chamber
music was scaehcd under Beethoven , whoso
creations have not been surpassed , if
equaled , by composers of the ultra modern
school ns Brahms , Tsclmlkowsky or Dvorak.
The effort of Messrs. Albert and Gahm to
introduce this feature of musical thought
into , the artisric life of Omaha is deserving
of every success. The llrst concert , it is
thought , will DO given before the holidays.
The reign of the chrysanthemum is over.
Now York's fnshionatilo Four Hundred has
given the flower of the Orient a death blow.
The Sun , speaking of the passing of the
flower of the Mikado , says : "Certainly the
position of Mmo. Chrysanthcmo remains em
barrassing. After four years of such vogue
that no coat in October was complete with
out her shaggy petals somewhere on its
lapel , and nn tea table properly dressed
until she was enthroned somewhere on it In
wbluo-and-whltc china Jar to bo forgotten
by the world 1 Mot only forgotten , but
ignored for two ye.irs and put up in n florist's
window to bo slighted until she wilted I But
that has been the fate of the chrysanthemum ,
and in whatever form she appears to the
public it will have none of her. She may bo
white , with long petals that stick out like a
porcupine's quills , or bo crisp and curly in
white , yellow or pink. The public won't
oven look at her. but buys violets or roses
without usking'at bow much the florist
values her. And ho doesn't think much of
her now , or ask much for her.
"In the crowd that promenaded Broadway
yesterday afternoon the chrysanthemum
was very llttlo in evidence. There were a
few In buttonholes that didn't signify much
as to whether or not fashion had abandoned
Mmo. Chrysanthemo. Formerly thny were
In every smart woman's corsage and distin
guished every genuine or would-be swell as
invariably ns a gardenia does in London.
Now there are only a few scattered about ,
and auvbody that doubts If chrysanthemums
are still the proper thing need only notice
the people who wear ( hem on Upper Broad
way in tlio afternoon. "

For tlio llonutlt of ( IIII..MIIHIU Funil.
The reception given Wednesday evening
by the lad IBS of Trinity Parish Aid society
for the benoflt of the music fund of the
cathedral , tit the residence of Mr. and Mrs ,
Frank Johnson , Tlilrty-alxth and Harnoy
streets , could not have been a more churm-
ing function try as the hostess nnd her
associates might on devising u ploislng on-
tcrtalnmont. There was a delightful lib * ,
seneo or ostentation. It was it gathering
largely of friends socially as Well as in u
church sense , and the short musical program
vyus In keeping with the charm of tlio enter
tainment.
Omaha is gradually growing rich In beauti
ful homes , the now residence of Mr. Johnson
being among the handsomest houses of the
city. It is essentially n home of culture and
rcllncmuut , the good tnslo of Mrs. Johnson
being everywhere scon , not alone in the fur
nishings but in the mural uecorutlous nnd
wood carvings , its pictures and brlo-a-brac.
The parlor Is a beautiful study In the Liouls
XVI style ot ornamentation , the fresco work
having been done by a well known New York
artist , working under the very competent
direction of Paolo Puveslch , who decorated
Boyd's theater. The celling is a gem in
mural effect , the frieze of flowers being ns
dainty in its way as the water colors ot Du-
ran. Tb carpet is solid in color , toning in
with the furniture and the wall painting ,
giving ono the impression of rcilneii luxury
that Is captivating to a degree. The library
Is Moorish iti design , and a cosier library
there Is not one in Om'atm. The big bay
window to the north has a deep window seat ,
beautifully upholstered , whllo the tlroplaru
to the loft of the bay is rich In Moorish til
ing , luo upper portion of the uiautol sug
gesting a bit from the Al ham bra la its artls-
tto tracery. But the room that attracted
most attention WM the Jap ue o cosy off thu
parlor. FiuUawl lu WrU' eye taajife made
to represent bamboo , the windows oven
being beaded with small rounds of the cane.
The fretwork over the mantel Is thoroughly
in keeping with the rest of the apartment ,
the walls being hung with a weave some
what suggestive of burlap. There are por-
tlcrs of rich Japanese stuff , and Japanese
pictures on the walls. The dining room is
hung in embossed loather , the colling being
divided into squares by n dark wood and in
keeping with the pretty room. Above stairs
the architect has been just us hapoy ns be
low , the rooms being largo nnd finely lighted.
But this is a fcaturb of the whole house , as
there are windows after windows , giving
ouo the Impression that the interior must bo
broken up and not admitting of any strong
ornamentation , but a glimpse Into the man *
sion will show a very different condition ,
and to add to the very charming effect there
were stands of chrysanthemums about the
rooms that assisted In bringing out all the
bo.tutles of the place.
Incidental to thu reception there was a
short musical program. Mrs. Iless-Fuchs
pluyins several piano uninl/ors very credit
ably. Mrs. Cotton sang , as she usually does ,
brilliantly , her volco snowing stronger than
usual , because of hcrrcstful summer , Mrs.
Will Wood sang Ncvins' beautiful ballad ,
"Little Boy Blue , " in a manner that showed
her the possessor of a swcot , sympathetic
contralto , and for an cncoro she gtivo n
catchy French composition , "Colcsto , " phvy-
Ing her own accompaniment in this instance.
Mrs. Wood is not hoard of often enough in
public , aud it is to bo hoped that there will
bo other occasions this season \vhonMrs.
Wood will bo heard in concert. Mrs. J. J.
Dickey , who has n beautiful volco for recita
tion , gave most appropriately ' 'The Organ
Builder , " and for an cncoro a story of n ooy
umpire that brought tears to those in front.
Mrs. Johnson , who is president of the so
ciety , deserves u world of compliments for
the success of the affair. After the must-
calo refreshments were served.
