For a week In Lenten season there w a
comparatively smart stir in local society cir
cles during the last six d ys. Notwlthstand.
ins the absence of many of the fairest de
votees at grand opera and the lack of so
many of the men who had gene mvay on
huntlnc trips of various kinds , Omaha so
ciety struggled along tolerably well. The
visit of Mrs. Kllcn M. Hcnrotln , president of
llic National Federation of Woman's Clubs ,
was the signal for many amenities of a most
pleasing nature. The coming of Prealdcnt
Schurmnn of Cornell university brought out
a larce audience on Friday cvcnlne to hear
his profitable lecture and the banquet to the
distinguished educator by the alumni of the
Now York State university on Saturday even
ing at the Omaha club left nothing to bo
desired.
iFrotn the list of weddings that have re
cently been solemnlrcd , or are
scheduled to occur In the near
future herewith printed , It may bo
safely concluded that the dapper little
follow known as Sir Cupid Is playing a few
cards himself in our midst. It IB known ,
'too. ' that ho has taken n few moro tricks
than have yet been published to the world.
Asldo from the theater attractions and
a few small dance and card parties.
tl doen not appear that anything of
uhuaual Interest Is about to transpire
within local wclety circles for some
itlme. There arc a number of weddings
that will happen later on. but then that's
another jam. Speaking of driving tandem , It
Is to bo sincerely hoped that there will be
116 general emulation of the recent action
of nn Omaha bridegroom , who during the
evening wedding reception disappeared with
a frlond to Indulge In some oysters and other
niolii nrtlclco and did not como homo until
mornlns. It li not an Incident to boant of ,
but at tlio same tlmo It's doubtful If any
other western city can boast a similar hap
pening during the curient season.
"five fooled the serpent. " The words arc
In a dainty little lavender kid notebook.
They stand for something of Importance , but
what that Is the clrl 'to ' whom the notebook
belop s cannot tell. She wrote the words
herself and oho knows they have weighty
Import , but though In unoccupied moments
nho murmurs over and over again to herself ,
"Eve fooled the serpent ; Eve fooled the ser
pent , " the words bring no thoughts with
them. "And 1 know , " she says , mournfully ,
"that they mean something very Interest
ing. "
KnfcrtnliiiMl by Club Women.
The vlolt of Mrs. Ellen M. Hcnrotln of
Chicago , 'president of the National Federa
tion of Woman's Clubs of the United States ,
during the week was concomitant with a
number of Interesting society events. The
members of the Omaha Woman's club did
thcniselvcfl proud In their magnificent en
tertainment of the distinguished president
of the national federation. She was bidden
to como again , and promised to do so.
Some of the younger women suggested that
uho might bring her charming BCD , "Chick , "
who la auch a society lord In Chicago , on
tlio occasion of her next visit , and she la
eald to have quietly acquiesced. On Tues
day afternoon Mrs. Hcnrotln was entertained
ot 'a beautiful luncheon given by MM. L
P. Harford. The color scheme was pnk ! ,
and pink rosca and carnations were uned
With good effect In the table decorations.
On Tuesday evening Mrs. Henrotln was tn-
lertalnsd at a special meeting of the Omaha
Woman's club. She delivered nn Interest'ng '
address , and was followed by Mrs. Belle
M. Stoutcnborough , president of the Ne
braska Federation of Woman's Clubs. A
modem drama , abounding In local hits and
the clever production of Mlw Stella Hamil
ton. was presented , the following popular
young women taking part : Columbia. Mlea
Fannie Patrick ; England , Miss L. M. Har
ford ; Germany , Miss Ircno Byrne ; Scotland ,
MM. II. W. Fltt ; Holland , Miss M. B. Cald-
\vell ; Italy , Miss Delia Chandler ; Franco ,
Miss Mao Louleo Hamilton ; China , Mia ? Ufft-

Mother Goose. Miss Margaret Cook ; Bcs-
tonla. Miss Ethclwyrne Kennedy ; Eme-
sonla , Mlsa Sadie D. Stone ; Majordom , Mlrts
Jo3cplilno Allen.
Perhaps the most brilliant affair of the
scries was the luncheon given In honor pf
Mrs. Honrotln on Wednesday at the Mlllat-d
hotel. The table at which the Invited guests
and speakers were scatod was bsautxfully
decorated with rcvcs and cavnatlons. The
program for the post-prandial excrclten In
cluded a number of witty and Interesting
addresses , and Mrs. Charles E. Squires , the
chairwoman of the committee having the
function IM charge , was deservedly made the
recipient of many congratulations at the
conclusion of the affair.

Is'o more brilliant banquet has been Riven
In Omaha during the present season than
that given by the Cornell Alumni association
of Nebraska to Jncdb Gould Schurman , D.Sc. ,
LL.D. , prealdcnt of Cornell university , last
evening at the Omaha club , it was a hand
some afTalr In every respect , and reflected
considerable credit on the sons of the great
university of the Empire State who are
natives of Nebraska or who arc sons of this
state by adoption.
The feast waa spread In the beautiful
bamjuet room of the Omaha club , mid the
table was appropriately decorated with red
anJ white raics , while round about on the
walls were hung Cornell flags In great pro
fusion. John Wllcon 'Dattln ' , ' 90 , acted as
toastmastcr , and on his right was seated the
guest of honor , President Schurman. On his
left was George E. ilacLcau , cnancellor of
the University of Nebraska , the only guest
not a Cornclllan. There were also seated
it the head table Alfred Mlllard , Judge
Frank Irvine , Thomas S. Clark , Charlca 1. . .
Saunders and other prominent alumni.
At the conclusion of an elaborate menu
the toastmaater Introduced President Schur
man , who spoke briefly on the financial con
Oitlon of Cornell university , which has been
greatly Improved within the last decade ;
upon the strengthening of the faculty and
upon the growth In the student body despite
the greatly Increased entrance ron.ulrem.enU.
President Schurman alluded to the fact that
ho will , God willing , at the next commence
ment have conferred more diplomas In his
HX ! years of administration than hla two pre-
ecessors In their twenty-four years Incum-
ency. Ho told of the recent Institution of
no departments of forestry and veterinary
cleiico by the state of New York at Cornel ]
ml the great financial assistance given the
Department oJ Agriculture.
GROWING IN THE WEST.
Ho spoke of the growth of Cornell spirit
men tl'o western states , and ns a result
f Ills remarks In this line decisive steps
cro taken toward securing a western rep-
c&cntatlve on the alumni board of trustees
: the university. President Schurman was
: ompellcd to leave the banquet at midnight
n order to catch an eaatbound train. Ho
vas escorted to the train by the oldest and
tic youncest alumni present.
Chancellor Maclvcnn , among other things ,
aid : "Cornell university Is In the east , bill
ts spirit Is that of the west. Cornell per-
, iapa Is the only eastern Institution that
ruly understands the western stnto unlvcr-
Ity. It has the great privilege of being
oally a state university and at the same
imo It receives private munificence and haj
relation to the public as a private instltu-
lon. In these goodly times , when cast nai
vest , north and eouth , nro united as nevei
icforo slnco the civil war , It Is a happy
hlng that the University of Nebraska In
no of its convocations couM receive the
real lent of that eastern university , full ol
11 that Is good1 of the cast and all that Is
good of the west. We delight to honor that
notltutlon and are glad that In honoring It
vo also can give personal devotion und af-
ectlon surrounded as "wo arc by Cornel
men to the head of that Institution. "
COXWAIN 'CLARK'S ' ELOQUENCE.

- Jornell crew to victory , responded to the
east "Our Navy" In an eloquent manner
lo described Cornell's unvarying successes
. on 'tho water and graphically portrayed the
conceded outcome of the Cornell-Yule-IIar
vard race at New London this spring.
Arthur C. Wakeley , 77. responded to the
, east "Hrlght College Days" and arouse *
corsldcrablo enthusiasm by hla "timely " refer
ences to the Institution "far above Cayuga'a
waters , with Its waves of 'blue. " James H.

iniutnl bout rnco between crewa represent-
ng Oxford nnd Cnmbrh o was rowed today
) ver the usuM con reo from Putney to Mort-
nke , four nnd oneiunrtcr miles , nnd wnn
won by Oxford. Oxford won the tots , which ,
with the prevailing'vlnd. wa * regarded as
urltiB1 them the race. The two crews em
barked at 3:49 : p. in. and the two boat * got
nwuy at 3:45 : p. m.
At the Dukc'n hend , soon after the utart ,
Cambridge waa loutllng and the light blues
wore a quarter of n length ahead of the
dark blues nt Clamper's boat house. At the
Crab Tree , about ono mile1 and a quarter
rroin the start , Oxford was leading by three
lengths. At the Soap works , about one mile
nnd tiireo-quarterf from the start. Oxford
was leading by four lengths , which lead
the dark blues maintained whllo imping
Hiimmernmlth brldo. At the Dove. " , a lit
tle over two miles from the start , Oxford
was still leading by four lengths. Uy that
tlmo Cambridge was pulling short. At Ohls-
wlck rhuri'h , two and three-fourths miles
from the start , the race had developed Into
a proceHslon nnd w.iv regarded ns a cer
tainty for Oxford. When Thornycroft's
works wore reached , throe miles from the
Btart , the dark blues \\cre leading by llvo
longths. At UarneV bridge , three and two-
third miles from fie start. Oxford was for
ty-five seconds ahead. I
Oxford won by twelve length * .
The Cambridge crew stopped oft the ship
nt Mortlake thorotifCily exhausted and with
Its boat half full of water.
Oxford has now won thirty-two out of thoraces
races rowed with Cambridge nnd has been
Hit- winner nine years In succession.
Tlio tlmo waa twenty-two minutes nnd
fifteen seconds.
The race will probably never be rowed un
der worse conditions. A bitter northeast
wind wns blowing , nnd rain and Blcetpro
falling. The crowd pre ont was small. Ox

having won the toss. Hoth boats carried n
