flooded the calendar with Christmas sales
and Christmas bazars where one may find
loads of dainty handiwork to bestow as gifts and at

TWO EXCELLENT musical attractions
will draw society audiences the first days
of this week. Monday evening the Audi
torium boxes have all been taken for the
Fritz Kreisler concert, which is the third
number of the Associated Retailers' opera
and concert series. Society music lovers figure
largely in the list of subscribers for the entire ,
course of attractions and so many others have taken
seats for tomorrow evening's performance that a
large attendance of fashionables is assured. On
Thanksgiving evening Kreisler played before, a
society audience at the Odeon in St. Louis, where
he was received with the enthusiasm everywhere
accorded the master violinist.
Box holders for this concert are the same as for
"Carmen" and "II Trovatore," with a few additions.
They are Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Crittenden Smith,
Mr. and Mrs. Louis C. Nash, Mr. and Mrs. Ward M.
Burgess, Mr. and Mrs.' A. L. Reed, Mr. and Mrs.,
George Brandeis, Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Redick, Mr.
and Mrs. W. J. Foye, Mr. and Mrs. William Tracy
Burns, Mrs. T. L. Kimball, Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Thomas Kountze, Dr. and Mrs. B. "B. Davis, Mr.
and Mrs. George Bernhard Prinz, Mr. and Mrs.
Luther L. Kountze, Mr. and Mrs. George A. Hoag-l
land, Mr. and Mrs. William A. Redick and Dr. and
Mrs. J. E. Summers.
Seldom does society have such a pleasure and
privilege as will be theirs Tuesday afternoon when
the Tuesday Morning Musical club presents two
of our city's beft known matrons and a popular
Lincoln musician in recital at the Brandeis theater.
, Mrs. Alanson I. Root atuL.Mrs. Ludovic F. Crofoot
are two of the best known and most talented of
Omaha's nonprofessional musicians. Mrs. Root
was formerly Miss Augusta Lehmann of this city
and her voice was discovered when she was about
18 years of age. In Chicago where, among other
places, she studied, she created a sensation in the
musical world. Hers is one of the finest contralto
voices in the city. Mrs. Root is a devoted wife and
mother, although as a concert singer she might have
attained great prominence, had she chosen to de
vote her life to that work. She rarely sings ia
public, but prefers to share her gift with her inti
mate friends.
Mrs. Crofoot, as Miss Mary Nash, also of Omaha,
gave great musical promise and had she so chosen,
might have distinguished herself as has her talented
sister, Miss Frances Nash. She has played for the
most part before audiences composed of members
of the Tuesday Morning Musical club and at the
Academy of the Sacred Heart.
Mrs. Lillian Helms Policy of Lincoln will be
rrmenibercd with pleasure' by Tuesday Morning
Musical club members, for she sang here before the
club several years ago. Her voice is soprano.
Saturday afternoon the Junior Musical club will
give its first little musicale of the year at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. C. F, White, when their daughter,
Virginia urill art as hnetca Mica Virginia Pivljtv
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Pixley, a pupil of
Miss hmily Lleve, is president of the club, and Miss
Gladys E. Mickel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George
E. Mickel, a pupil of Henry Cox, is secretary. These
young people are probably the most faithful music
students in the city, for membership in their club
requires a certain amount of regular practice and
participation in their frequent recitals. i
So much talk of Christmas things minds us that
the holidays draw on apace. Two more dates have 1
been added this week to the list of Christmas gay
eties planned for the young folk home for the holi- 1
days. Mr. and Mrs. A. V. Kinsler will give a danc
ing party at the Fontenclle on Friday evening, De ,
ccmber 29, for the members of the younger set. The
s.inie even ins the Maltese club of Central High
school, is planning a party at the Blackstone. The
Saturday before Christmas Mr. and Mrs. Joseph
liarker will give a dancing party at the Blackstone
for their daughter, Elizabeth, who returns front
school in Los Angeles, December 18. ;
The Franco-Belgian Relief society card'party is
already a glorious thing of the past. Over 500
tickets for the big affair were sold. Women came,
from all the neighboring hamlets to help the worthy .
cause and to take their chance at the beautiful
prizes which Mrs. John A. McShane had solicited
from the generous merchants of the city. : j
Last week was a dancing week. All the dancing
clubs of the city had Thanksgiving affairs, the
Omaha club supper dance on the eve of Turkey day, '
the Junior club dance on the following evening, the
University club dance Saturday evening, the Week4 "
end Dancing club's party and others too numerous .-
to mention were notable events. It does, seem too
had that one can say so little about a dancing party! '
ti visy le a brilliant occasion, but what more, pray
tell, can one tell? This week one of the pretty
dunces will be given by the All Saints Altar guiM
at the parish house Wednesday evenr 7 ' J
