M MlNN Shlvcrlck'n Debut
ThU Week.
Whllo the last week In Omaha society has
not been marked by as many brilliant events
as made Its Immediate predecessor a notable
ono , there have been a goodly array of so
ciety functions deserving- mention , sufficient ,
In fact , to make the week a fairly gay ono.
Thcro were no largo church weddings , but
thcro were enough marriage ccrcmonlca of
more modest proportions performed during
the week to prove that the llttlo Imp , Cupid ,
l > etlll at work within the city's gates , and to
enable the local clergy to keep the wolf from
ihclr doors during the coming spell ot Klon-
dlko weather.
The formal debut of Mlaa Allco Andrceson
Into the society circles of Omaha , which oc
curred on Thursday evening In the form of
a dance given In her honor by Mrs , John L.
Webster , was an event that had been antici
pated with much pleasure and will bo
marked down as the most brilliant society
liappcnlng of the last week. It has boon a
long llmo since so cultured and attractive a
young woman has made her formal entrance
Into Omaha society , and the many friends
of Miss Amlrccsen predict for her nn unus
ually brilliant social career.
The debut of Miss Anna Shiverlck has been
announced for the near future and Is also
an event that Is waited with much joy. The
bud that la to be has a large circle of friends
In this city , and that circle Is bound to be
widened by her appearance on 'the ' threshold
of society. Her association with the younger
members of noclety who have whlled away
so many pleasant summer hours through the
medium of the lamented Merry Moments'
cltib sufficed to make her a favorite among
the young men and women , and her popular
ity will not decrease by her presence at the
winter festivities In the future , as at the
summer amenities In the past.
There have been a number of teas , lunch
eons and receptions during the week. The
McConncll reception was a notable gatherIng -
Ing , and of the many card parties during the
week that of the Korest Hill Whlat club at
Mrs. Motcalf's home was probably the most
conspicuous bccnu.se of elaborate entertain
ment.
The coming week promises the usual at
tractions Incidental to Thanksgiving week.
These who are In society will probably glvo
thanks for that attachment and thooe who
are out will probably rejoice with just as
much fervor. There will bo a number of
home-comings during the week , many of
the students who leave the city in search
of higher education returning to take
Thanksgiving day dinner with tlmir parents
and to Incidentally strike thorn for an In
creased monthly allowance. There promises
to too plenty of the sport that Is now so
dear to the youth and beauty of the land
on Thanksgiving day , as Intercollegiate foot-
'ball ' matches have been arranged for Uni
versity Club park In this city and for the
Field Club park In Council Dlufta. The
fine weather of the week that Is assured by
Uncle Samuel's weather bureau will probably
bring out another dress parade of the Hid
ing club and Its luckless number of thir
teen riders. The Nebraska Ceramic club ,
which Includes In Its roll of artists a number
of prominent society women , Is arranging
for another exhibition to open the latter
part of the week. On the afternoon of
Tuesday Mra. Charles BhitfCrfck will enter : ,
tain at , tea , alfd In the evening will give a
Tswcir'danclng party In honor ot the debut of
her daughter. Miss Anna Shlvorick Into the
realms of society. During the week the
rehearsals of the young.women who are pre
paring for a grand minstrel show early
In December will bo continued , and their
friends will work over-time writing now
jokes to bo sprung oil that occasion.
"Consider the Illy" may bo a divine In
junction , but "consider the chrysanthemum"
In the latest edict of society. This does not
necessarily mean that all members of so
ciety are Irreverent , for they are not. The
chrysanthemum Is at present enjoying a sur
feit of popularity that 'Is ' Incomparable with
any previous happening recorded In floral
unnals. At teas , luncheons , receptions and
weddings U Is the chrysanthemum that la the
greatest object of admiration , almost of del-
llcutlon. Instead ot pink teas , green lunch-
cons and yellow receptions ono now hears
of chrysanthemum teas , chrysanthemum
luncheons and chrysanthemum receptions.
During the list week Omaha arose to metro
politan dignity and had a chrysanthemum
show of Its own. It gave an opportunity for
tbo display of many of 'trie cabbage-liko
plants , but the frost that attended the occa
sion was to great that the flowers bid to bo
withdrawn and sent to hothouses. The com
ing week promises to witness a revival of the
many-petalod flower , for the chrysanthemum
Is essentially a foot ball flower and probably
owes Its present popularity to the ascendency
ot that form of amateur sport.
tA. short tlmo ago a number of handsome
plates of silver were presented to a fash
ionable churoi/to / be used to ) gather the offer
ings ot the congregation. The plates arty al
most entirely of silver , but In order to prevent -
vent the ringing sound ot coin on the plates
and to disappoint these who would listen
to hear whether Uielr neighbors dropped on
the plato a dollar or a dime , the centers of
the plates were 'Inlaid with heavy red velvet.
When they were passed at the first service
the plates were objects of curiosity and ad
miration , but the warden handling ono of
them was somewhat taken back when he
passed the plato Into the pew of u promi

quietly remark , "I'll Just play a dollar on

Is high anl dry land. Where the boats Janded
last spring to load willows for tbo rip-rap

but a sand bar and the river Is over a

they landed. la March and April the Water
Works company spent hundreds of dollars

bank so us to keep the current from cutting
the banks away nnd leaving a sand bar
where they get their water from the river.

A movem-nt Is Just begun In th.a city to
unl ( < Hhe singers and players who are not
In the Orchestral Musicians' union under a
compact by which they agree not to sing or
play for < iny public performance to which an
admission fee Is charged unless they are
paid for their services. 'Mrs. Cotton Is pres
ident , 'Miss ' Terry vice president and Mr.
Kelly scretnry of this organization. The
professional musician Is less likely to give
his services gratuitously than the amateur ,
for ho Is dependent upon his music for his
livelihood , and It Is therefore most Impor
tant that the amateur Join this association.
The writer Is opposed on general principles
to unions and other associations whoso ob
ject Is the diminution of human freedom , be
lieving that every one should b ? free to do
Just as he pleases so long us he does not
trespass on the eijual freedom of some ono
els ? . But there are times when It seems ad
visable for a number of people whoso Inter
ests arc Identical to unlto upon n course of
action and carry It out for their mutual ad
vantage. The situation hero stems to declare -
clare that thU Is one of the times.
When any Individual or Institution wishes
to glvo a benefit performance It Is but fair
to expect It to b ? managed as any business
enterprise Is managed and the profits de
voted to the charity. There Is no reason why
those \vho do the work should receive noth
ing for thslr labor. As far an the welfare
of music Itself Is concerned charity per
formances that are paid for do It Injury
enough at best. It Is plainly to be seen that
for such entertainments the music Is not
put on the market to bo bought on Its mer
its , but rather to bo endured on account of
the subsequent benefit to bo enjoyed by
certain more or Icsi unfortunate people who
have nothing whatever to do with the con
cert , the musicians or the listener. Buying
tickets that are thrust upon one will cor-
tnlnly turn the purchaser against the per
formance and prejudice him against Its en
joyment. It Is a wonder some ono docs not
start a charity grocery store open evenings ,
tickets 25 cents , admitting to the sugar box ,
the vinegar barrel , the cotfco sack , the cigar
case and the cooking-brandy Jug. Such an en
terprise ought to make money and It would
give the musician a vacation.
This wco'i Is to bo particularly rich In
musical c titn of real excellence and Im
portance. It Is absolutely iitcessary for a
city to come Into contact with the outside
world If It would keep up with the
progress of 1 ! culture. As a city cannot go
to the artli.tK they must be brought to it ,
at.d when they are come .ttibj afford an op
portunity tlMt la iiivalinble for advancement
and also for enjoyment. The heaviest load
that the1 art'atlc development of this coun
try ha ? had to bear during the last five
ycirs has been ' .ve deluge of variety shows ,
dlgnllkd but n. t Hindered decent by tlio
name "vaudeville.1. " A stage full of brain
less clowns , whoso most brilliant exploit
Is to fall against a door or slap a partuct'b
face ; of scrpaiucis oJ unwashed , rhymeless ,
meaningless ballnds and of shapeless , tal
entless women , \\uom even "rease pauu ,

menu served up for tno edification of Intel
ligent beings who arc supposed to be capa

two weeks ago such a mass ot human degre-
datlon brought ever SJOO Into ttio box olllcu
o a local theater. Last week hundreds of
men and a few wouen laughed and ap-
plaudcd to sec a really fine uclor Imitate
a cat purring around his mate. In the same
theater two days ago about eighty people ,
mostly womeu , assembled to hear a concert
of artistic merit. There Is food lor thought
In these facts , which , by the way , are no
pleatanter to v/rlte than to read.
Omaha will have a chance to hear this
week two of the greatest pianists this coun
try has produced , Miss Neally Stevens and
William II. SLerwood. Doth bavo attained
a rank In their department that Is rarely
attained by any pi "former on any Instru
ment. Miss .StevoiB was a pupil of Liszt
and ho once introduced her to a friend
as "a remarkable rlanlst. " She has played
In nearly every city In the United Stales
and always with success. Her repertoire Is
largo and embraces music of all styles and
composers. .Mr. Sherwood Is probably the
best known jitanlbt In America and has
has toured Euiope with success. Ho Is not
only a player but a thorough musician and
at his recitals Intersperses the numbers of
his program with short explanations and
descriptions that add greatly to the under
standing of the music and to its enjoyment.
Both artists are deserving of the warmest
greeting at the hands of the cultured people
ple of Omaha and the keenest pleasure will
certainly bo derived from their performances.
Their appearance so near together will af
ford those who enjoy making comparisons a
flne opportunity for that sort of exercise.
The executive committee of the exposition
at a meeting held a few days ago spent
some time In considering the question of a
musical department , but reached no conclu
sion ? The directorship is no longer In the
foreground and no name for the position is
receiving special consideration. The kind of
a department Is now the question , and all
sorts of Influences have been brought to bear
to constrict it to an aggregation of brass
bands and hit or miss performances. It Is
not to bo expected that any such policy
will , he adopted , but few roallzo against
what odds and importunities the exposition
managers have to contend. The future
of music In the middle west will depend
very largely upon the influence exerted by
the exposition , and it Is to be hoped that
the musical department will be so managed
as to make It a power for Its permanent.
development. The exposition will bo Judged
twenty-five years hence , not by what it
will bo next summer but by the permanent
good It Khali have done.

Mme. 'Dyna ' Oleumer , the ( Belgian soprano ,
1'as made a hit In New York at the concert
given at the Astoria concert hall -with Anton
Soldi and his orchestra. The Now York
papers compare her to Carlotta Pnttl and
credit her as being ono of the most success
ful coloraturo singers before the public. 'Her
voice Is very high and the extreme upper
notes sweet and clear. It Is to 'bo hoped that
she will sing In Ornaha this season.
Next Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock , at
the First Congregational church , under the
auspices of the musical department of the
Woman's club , ( Miss Noally Stevens will
glvo a piano rt'cltal. She will play a varied
menu of piano music such as Is seldom

notice the names of a number of American
composers along with Bach , Beethoven and
Liszt.
This afternoon , nt Trinity cathedral , Mr.
J. IS. iButler will glvo the fifth organ recital
of the present series. Ho will bo assisted
