casion was the reception and social
session given by tlio Omaha ledge of

followed by .Mr. and Mrs. Dwight U.
Hull , the other ladles aud gentlemen
liling In thereafter.
( rraud Ruler Hull ofllciatcd as chair-
of the social session. It was -7 minutes to
1'4 o'clock when ho arose in his chair at
the head of thu banquet board , gazed
benignly over the throng seated at the
tables , and commenced to use his gavel
vigorously. The noise gradually sub
sided , and the music of the orchestra
died away. The lir'st ladies' social ses
sion of tlio ledge was called to order.
The chairman made a brief opening
address :
"Ladies and Gcntlemen-Tho dis
tinctive feature of our order Is 'a social
session. This to-night is a ladies' ses
sion. 1 want to remind you of one tiling ,
and that is that the wishes of tlio chair
man are supreme , and must bo obeyed.
The call ot the gavel must bo obeyed
by all Klks present , and I have no doubt
but that all our guests will do tlio same.
The first thing we must have hero to
night is order. I must appoint a police
man. If Brother Hulotl is here , let him
stop forward. "
Mr. C. ( . ' . Hulett was formally appointed
policeman for the evening , and came for
ward to receive his badge.
" o'clock. " resumed
"At the hour of H
the chairman , "wo must drink to our ab
sent brothers. It is now past that hour ,
and wo will drink their health. "
The tinkling of glasses announced
that the crystals wore being filled , and
in n few moments the grand ruler asked ,
"Aro you ready ? "
A chorus from certain parts of the
room announced that some of the breth
ren were prepared.
"Brother Hull , 1 would suggest , " said
Kxaltcd Itulor Francis at the tar end of
the table , "that while all tlio Elks are
ready , the ammunition is not. " Amid a
roar of laughter at this remark , the lill-
ing of glasses was completed , and the
toast was tos.sed on" .

The feature of the programme , of
course , was the appearance of Mlllo
Uhea in thu recitation entitled " 'Ostler
Jou. " She rendered this pathetic poem
in a touching manner , and was henrtlly
encored. She resOohdod by way of con
trast with a humorous recitation entitled
"Tho Weathercock. " The , distinguished
actress took her sent n .second tiino amid
roars of laughter and applause.
Miss Edith Kdwards , of the Men
delssohn Trio club , entertained the audience -
enco with an aria from "Aida. " She
apologized for having a bad cold , but
, novertuclcss succeeded in acnultting her
self , admirably. The other literary and
musical selections wore of a high order
and received hearty applause.
The first toast-speaker of the evening
was wittily introduced by Chairman
Hull. He was Mr. John Francis , and had
beon'solocted to respond to the toast " 'The
Ladies" because , as Mr. Hull said ,
he know more about thorn than
any Jilk urcscnt. Mr. Francis' ad
dress was short but to the point.
"It is a fair test of one's courage , " said
the speaker , "to appear bcforo such a
distinguished gathering as this and do
honor to this toast. I could almost wish
for a return of the days of chivalry when
the knights , in defense of beauty , were
expected only to do battle to all comers.
But these days arc gone. I need hardly
tell you that this social , which is the first
Indies' session given by this lodge , is in
honor of M'llo lllica. [ Loud
applause. ] I might say right hero that
our order owes much to the theatrical
profession , and especially to the l.ulies
thereof , many of whom I might name ,
and who arc bright stars in the histronic
fcrniament. ' '
Mr. Frank 11. Morrifoy , in responding
to the toast , "Tho Elks , " told wittily
of the order whose cardinal principal
was "Our brothers' faults we write on
sand ; theirvirlucs on the tablets of mem
ory. " Ho closed by referring to some of
thu benefits of the order.
Mr. U. D. Hess , of Chicago ledge No.
4 , took the bland iii response to the toast ,
"Our Maternal Ancestor. " Referring to
the parent lodge , lie said :
"bho is with ypii inspirit ; that 1 know.
She is ever watulmtBpf her children , and
so of tliis one. And if this
Eartieularly
rilliant assembly is to be taken as an in
dication of your [ enterprise , then she has
more reason to bo proud of this child
than she has any idea , of. You have now
been Elks for tlirce months , and I
believe that you . .realize it is good
to bo an hlk. If I may take
the word of 'Brother Minor , whoso
veracity has never been questioned. I
believe all the members of tins ledge are
good men. [ Applause ] . Verily , it is good
to be an Elk. 1 look-forward "to the time
when every wife in Omaha will make it
a condition of p'eacc m. the household that
nor Iiti3bandn. hall join the Elks.
That the * maiden' " will say , when
asked the montohtlons question which
invites her to assume the bonds
of matrimony , ' 'Are you an Elk ? "
and upon receiving an > uflinnative an
swer will reply "then you may go and
and speak to mama. " Mr. Hess said
that a man could not bo agood Elk unless
ho was a good man , and the very fact that
the order was a success in itself and
its results , was due to this. Ho closed
with a merry good-night address to the
members of the lodiro and the guests.
"Auld Lang Sync , " led by Mr. Charles
Hess , Jr , was sung , and the social ses
sion was at an end.

Tom Taylor's comedy , "An Unequal
Match , " like many other English com
edies , had boon shelved in America until
its presentation hero by Langtry. There
is nothing in it that may not bo found in
a hundred other pieces by English
' dramatists. It is the commonplace one
of a titled gentleman marrying beneath
his station. Its characters are the tradi
tional ones which have boon identified
with such works , to heighten the effect of
which it has always been found necessary
to make a woman aparty to the romilsivo
work. It is devoid of excitement and
strong climaxes , and depends for success
upon the evenness of its presentation and
the individual ability of the performers.
M'llo. ' Rhna's acting was artless and
fascinating. It was characterized in the
earlier acts with the refreshing gaily and
imlrammeled vivacity of a beautiful and
bewitching country lass. In the last act ,
ns the wife , determined , yet playful iu
attracting her husband from the witcher
ies of designing woman whom she was
always taught to consider an exemplar ,
and at thu sauio tune in convincing him
spouse of her abandonment of girlish
ways and her doep-scatod love for her ,
her acting waa characterized by that in
describable charm"of a lady possessed in
the highest degree of relinomont and
grace. Her accent , howornr , lost its
tlavor and attractiveness , and was less to
bo appreciated than in her French pieces
in which it adds a specie of interest to
charactorlzntlon.
The "Blcnkinsap" of Mr. Vincent was
n good traditional flunky. Miss Adelaide
Fit/ Allen made an excellent "Mrs. Man-
tresser , " while "Grazobrook" poroMr.
Robert G. Wilson , , was finely performed.

most cordial welcome to the esteemed
