ECLIPSE OF LENT PASSES

of Holy Week.

J Now that Lent Is over and society Is
privileged to bo as gay aa It pleases, the
smart set will draw a sigh of mingled
relief and regret beforo launching Into tho
social whirl again, as It weighs the
pleasures and obligations ot the brief sea
son that Is left during which functions aro
still In order. It may bo that tho fashion
ables havo not done all the things that
tbey should have done during the last
' week, and It may bo that anticipation of
tho weeks to come has unfitted them to
maintain tho deportment so befitting holy
week, but certain It Is that they havo
denied themselves everything In the way of
social affairs. With tho exceptions of a
few afternoon gatherings, whero somo
half-dozen congenial spirits exchanged gos
sip over their teacups, an equal number
' of Informal dinners and, of course, tho
meetings of the clubs, the social calendar
' has been a blank.
The splendid success of the Lenten musl
ralcs has encouraged tho undertaking of
another onterpruto for sweet charity's
Fake. Though ot a vastly different order, It
will Include all of tho fashionable women
and probably such of the men as caro to or
can be Induced to attend an afternoon tea
of an entirely new and delightful variety.
While tho data and other particulars of
tho affair have not as yet been announced
It will probably occur soon. Its success Is
already assured by the fact that It has for
Its promoters thoso wqrucn whoso presenco
and Influence mako things popular,
fashionable and successful.

IT IS IMPORTANT
To Know What You Are Taking When
lulnir Catarrh .Medicine.
Catarrh is the short route to consurap
tlon, and tbe Importance ot early and Judl
clous treatment ot catarrh, whether Iocatod
In tho head, throat or brouchlal tubes, can
not bo too Btrongly emphasized.
The list of catarrh cures Is as long as tho
moral law and the forma In which thoy aro
admlnlstorcd, numerous and confusing,
from sprays, innaiors, washes, ointments
and salves to powders,' liquids and tablets
r Tho tablet form Is undoubtedly tho most
convenient and most effective, but with
nearly all advertised catarrh remedies It is
almost entirely a matter ot guess work as
to what you aro taking Into your system
as tho proprietors, whllo making all sorts
ot claims as to what their medicines will
do, always keop It a'cioso secret as to what
they aro.
Tho success and popularity of tho new
catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, 1
largely becauso It not only cures catarrh
but becauso catarrh sufforcrs who used
theso tablets know what thoy are taking
Into their systems. Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lcta being composed of Eucolyptol, Hydras
tin, Gualcol and similar valuablo and untl
septic ingredients, and aro pleasant to th
tnsto and being dissolved In tho mouth
they tnko Immedlato effect upon tho mucous
lining ot tbo throat, nasal passages and
' wholo respiratory tract.
Tbo cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
havo accomplished In old chronlo cases of
catarrh aro little short of remarkable, and
tho advantage ot knowing what you are
putting Into your stomach Is of paramount
Importanco when It In reuiemborcd that the

With the closing ot this season Mrs.
Leslie Carter will any goodby to "Zazn."
It has been one of the greatest successes
of any ot late years, but Mrs. Carter says
sha Is anxious to try something new.
Speaking ot her plaus for next season, she
said:
"I am to havo a play based upon his
torical facts. Its title Is 'Madamo du
Harry,' and It Is, of course, by Mr. llelnsco,
Madamo du Barry, as you doubtlesf know
If you nio familiar with French history,
lived In tho seventeenth century and was
the mistress of LouIh XV. She exercised a
powerful Influenco In his court and re
ceived the hotuugo of nearly every distin
guished niati ot France, many ot whom
obtained through her Important olllcru and
privileges. I havo read her history and
consider her one ot the most remarkable
ot women. It Is a character that 1 nm sur
prised has not been made tho center of
some dramatic author's effort before. Mr.
Bulasco Is confident the play will bo even
a greater success than 'Xazu,' and I firmly
believe, nnd hopo that It will, ulthough tills
is expecting and autlcipatlng a great deal,
for successes like 'Zaza' aro not to bo found
every year.
I'll r( I11I to Tluit Sort of C'luirnclrr.
"Am I partial to this sort ot character?
Well, only becauso I bellevo thero aro
greater possibilities in them for an emo
tional actress than In any other class I
can thluk of, Just stop nnd look back.
Can you recall many great successes whero
morality Is not touched upon? For every
one of such plays you can name I will name,
two of tho other class. Of course the rural
dramas ?nd pastoral plays are pretty and
enjoyable, but there aro poor possibilities
In them, poor chances for an nctor or
actress to display artistic talent to n high
degree. And then when you conio to think
ot it, Zuza was not a bad woman at heart;
her condition was tho result of circum
stances; sho was an illiterate girl brought
up by a drunkon aunt, forced to frequent
the lowest haunts, whero she could sing
and make enough to. keep her alive and her
aunt In money to buy liquor. Shu did not
know thq dlffercnco between right nnd
wrong. She had never had anyone to teach
her.
"But with her lover, Bernard Dufrcsne, It
was different. Ho had had tho advantage
of an education, was polished, Influential,
had a wife and child. It was he who was
bad at heart.
"When sho learned of ull this, Zaza dis
missed him, swallowed her cup of sorrow
and lived afterward for -her art only. If
that Is bad, I havo misconstrued the mean
ing of the definition ot the word.
She AVutche Her Audience.
"it has been a long time since. I last paid
Omaha a visit, mora than four years ago,
and I felt when I first came on tho stage
Thursday night that I was something of a
stranger. I was a little vexed with my
audience during the first two acts, m I
seemed unable to get any sympathetic., feel
ings from them, but otter the fourth act
they wero so nlco to mo that I could just
havo gone out In.;, tho audience and hugged
every one of tbem, and so It has been every
night during my 'engagement.
"You know I always take delight in get
ting something between tho glare of the
footlights and my eyes for an Instaut during
somo ot tho pathetic scenes In the play,
just long. enough to discover a few women
In the audience with a tear In their eye.
I always choose, women, for men seldom
ever weep at a theatrical performance, and
then I play to those women. I go right
after their tender chords, and nothing de
lights mo more than to see them weep.
I feel hen that my work has really reached
that point whero It deserves to be called
art.
Vacation 'Way IliMvn Kant.
"How shall I spend my summer? Well,
at tbo close ot my present season, that
will bo about June 1, I shall go Imme
diately to Bar Harbor. There I will rest
a month and then Mr. Bclasco and I will
go to Paris to see what additional knowl
edge wo can acquire of Madamo du Barry,
also choose her costumes. You sec, it is the
Intention to havo tho play as nearly his
torically correct In every detail as pos
sible. Wo shall return to America early
In August and will begin rehearsals at once.
Mr. Belasco will direct them personally
and one who has any knowledge of his
ability along this line knows what n help
that will bo to mo and how much It will
mean toward tho success of tho piece and
of welcome to bo delivered by Mis. D. R.
Kerr, and tho rrspouse to bo made by
Mrs. G. C. Thompson. The reading of re
ports and other business will occupy the
remainder of the time. There will be

Bread In all conceivable forms and va
rieties, big loaves and little, round loaven
and loaves without classified form, light
loaves and heavy ones, wero piled upon
tables In one ot tbo exhibit booths at the
Auditorium exposition last night. There
were somo as large aB buckets, and some ns
small as one's llt. Flfty-ono Omaha women
had brouxtit in the products ot their skill
In tbo making of tbe staff ot llfo to com
pete for prizes. Flfty-ono cakes had also
been brought in to represent tho aspira
tions of their respective makers to acquire
a little fame for clever housewifery and
Incidentally to carry home toe her one ot
tho handsome presents offered for tbe finest
cakes. Tho prizes Included an oak center
table, an onk rocking chair and nn up
holstered divan, the maker ot the best
layer enko to have first choice, second
choice goins to the best breadmnker, and
third to the best compounder of layer cake.
Judges wero appointed by tho exposition
management. They wero Mrs. MncMurphy,
Mrs. J. K. Coulter and Mrs. M. F. Morrell. To
avoid the possibility ot favoritism the
makers of tho bread and cakes wero given
numbers to correspond, with numbers placed
upon their respective sweets and substance,
so that tho judges wero wholly Ignorant
of tho Identity of the parties whose bnking
tbey were Judging.

Somo consternation was occasioned when
the commltteo discovered that it had
awarded tho first and second prlzo to the
same person for tho best bread and the
best layer cake. The favored woman Is
Mrs. John W. Fcad, wlfo of an attache of
tho city treasury. Sho was recently given
a costly prlzo by an eastern paper for
having mado the best mlncc pies. One of
the Judges favored reconsidering ono of
the nwards In order that two such fine
presents should not go to one person, but
she was overruled by tho other two. fho
third prize was given to Mrs. W. J. Nash.
After tho nwards, all of the cakes wero
sold at auction In tho theatorlum and went
at low prices generally, except that tho
prlzo cako was knocked down to Waller
Molsc for p. Most ot them sold for less
than CO ceuts. Bread that was put forward
to capturo $23 worth ot prize was actually
sold at tho rato of two loaves tor a nickel,
