THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SUNDAY. FEBKTJAlxz o. 1887.-TWELVE PAGES. r FIRST WEEK OF FEBRUARY , .V Numerous Small Socials , but None of a "Ornsh" Nature. ENTERTAINING EUCHRE EVENTS. IMoosant Informal Knccptloni M In Uio Hlizznrtl Ilio Kites' Jlnll Art Notes Social Ilrcvltlcn I'crsonals , Colil U'cnthcr mill Society- Society has struggled bravely on through the cold snap of last week , and the round of pnrties and receptions has been kept up with a perseverance worthy of a better catiM ) . Among the affairs that tire included under the head of receptions tire the sociable afternoons , at Trinity chapel , whcro a committee of ladies is appointed each Wednesday to receive nnd welcome their fellow church mem bers. The idea is a good olio and was Inaugurated by thn worthy dean for the purpose of thawing the long enduring frost that has too often ere this nipped in the bud the good intentions of many a well disposed church member. The people ple of Trinity have at various times had the doctrine of charity expounded to them with more or less directness , but for the lirsl time they arc confronted with the tact that they cannot be consistent church members and at the same time selfish exclusively society votaries. A revolution seems to be working , and under the present regime something bo- Bides money is reuired | to give a mem ber iimmpnachablo standing nnd put liim on comfoitable terms with his own conscience. Molnnce. The announcement that 1'atti will bo bore this month lias put all society on the qtilrivo and the With will undoubtedly bo u red letter day in the annals of Omaha. After her enormous successes In Now Mexico and ovation in San Fran- cifceo , Omaha cannot too highly con gratulate Itsc'lf on being one of the few cities in this country that will bo given mi opportunity to hear 1'ntti on this tour. Aside from the pleasure and interest in cident to the event , it is a great adver tisement for the town that it is to bo visited by a diva whoso beauty , clever ness and marvelous voice has given her a prestige beyond that of royalty , when so many of the larger cities , us Rochester , 1'liiladclphla and others will not bo eimilarly favored. On both of Pattl's former visits we wore denied tlio satis faction of having her sing. On licr first visit to Omaha , Alaplcsou could not alTbrd to have her sing nnd substituted Gcrstor. It seems perfectly in keeping with the steady ad vancement ot thu place that Patti should nt last bo induced to sing hero , and it nhowH the confidence of Air. Abbey in Omaha to bring I'atti hero without a guarantee. It is to be hoped that our .people will not prove themselves lacking in appreciation , and that the diva will meet with such a reception as will justify the compliment paid to Omaha in her Hinging hero. The people of the AI. K. church are to be congratulated on having secured Airs. J. T. Clark for the soprano of their now quartet choir. The other members arc nlso e\eellont , and include Mr. Brccken- ridge , tenor , Miss Vapor , alto , and Dr. \Voodburn , bass. Trinity lias gone back to its old love nnd the lormcr quartet choir will bo re- cunipd to-clav , with , the acquisition of Mr. \Yllkins' voice for tcuor. Tlio other mem bers are Mrs. Cotton , soprano , Miss Hath , contralto , Mr. Franco , bass. A Successful The musicale given under the auspices of St. Andrews' brotherhood , Thursday evening , was a complete success from every standpoint. Tlio programme , which was arranged by Mrs. Cotton , was an ex k& cellent 0110 and nearly every number was encored. The audience was large nud composed of the elite of Omaha. The concert opened with a brilliant piano duet by Messrs. Butler and Trench. The Mendelssohn quartette appeared next nnd their entrance wan greeted with a burst of applause. They sang 1'insuti's "Parting Kiss" with great linsli and pre cision. In response to an encore they gave "Uomo Dorothy. " Mr. Wil- kiiis sang "One Summer Night , " by Grieg , in his usual happy manner. \liss Traoy of Burlington made a. very pleasing impression in her number , ( ' Knowest Then the Land , " from "Mig- /rion. Her voice is rich and volumi- jious and she sang with much earnest- Viiess , eliciting a recall. Air. Wilkins and blr. Francis' voices blended beautifully An the duet , "Lost Proscribed. " Their voices arc so sweet and rich that they iirnvo even that hackneyed air a now vlij.rin. Air. Franko's performance was , 11) ) ) to its usual high slandaid. Omaha .ciliould do all in its power to kcop such ' : m artist. Ho won a rapturous j double " recall last night. The trio , "Tlio "Reapers , " by Airs. Cotton , Aliss Hath and [ Miss Traoy , was ono of the most pleasing ( Tind novel features of the programme , /"ho two sopranos and contralto blended J.M ) perfectly us to win thosinor.s a recall. L'lr. I'ennull was in excellent voice and pleased immensely. Ho was heartily on- ored. Airs. Cotton's solo , "La Separa- fi.ione , " by Itos.iinl , was ono of the best toutures , aud displayed the sweetness [ ud purity of her voice to perfection. ' . " ler song was ro-deniaudud.
