Easter again I Tbo swift-footed months
have again brought the nno bright , grand
festival of tbo church greater , Indeed , than
Christmas with its antbcins of tbo Babe of
Bethlehem. Today 100,000 people w 111 gather
within and ahcut St. Peter's at Homo to celo-
lirato tbo holiest of all church days. In
Jerusalem , too , there will bo stately celebra
tions of the conquest over death , and not
clone in these ancient centers of the Chris
tian faith , hut all tbo world over , from
10,000 bhrmas there will break forth the ono
great , ou thorn :
Christ tbo Lord Is risen todur ,
Allelujali !
Eons Of men and ungcls say ,
AllclujaJiI
ir- It Is very true that many thousands of
f people will take but little interest In Easter.
This Is nil npo in which materialism and
selfishness have too much swny. For many
Easter has no interest. The world is with
them "lata and soon , " and "getting and
spending" absorbs their powers.
- * The factory bell is more musical
than Christmas chimes , and the
clangor of the wheels of commerce
drowns all melody of Easter bells. Yet not
withstanding the materialism which has such
& bold upon the pecplc , today will witness
throughout the world a festival , not that of
demonstration , but of hope. The earth , Just
uwaklng from its winter sleep , throbs with a
"larger promise than that of buds and blos
soms , of flowers and fruit ,
It is a morning of a thousand gracious
events. The sanctuary itself will swim with
odors and pulsate with jubilates. Beauty will
fill the pews. Every sweet heart who is
worth loving will add devotion to decoration ,
end piety will take on a new prcttincss.
Not in the church Ufa of Omaha has Lent
n so rigidly observed by society as the
period or' contemplation , of introspection
which closes'wlth today.
Complete stagnation has marked the doIngs -
Ings of tbo lashionabln world , due prob
bly to the very brilliant pre-Lonton
season , mid likeouo young woman said :
"Lent has "been dreadfully stupid. Not even
n breakfast of any moment , and as for in
formal dancing parties , why there were only
bno of two , and ttieu as for theater parties ,
why I am sura there weren't any. "
The post Lenten season gives little promise
of breaking , in a great measure , upon the
quietude of Lent. Of course there will bo en
tertainments , and Easter comes so early , but
they will uotbo near so numerous as those
given previous to Ash "Wodnodoy.
Wo are talking of a Centennial , but Easter
fs a Millenium. So long as tbc world contin
ues to mnlco up witli promise so long will
there be Eastor. So lon as lilies come aud
cothero will be ineffable voices and
to day so fit to listen to them.
Should you cnro to see the most resplen-
dant procession that can bo shown in Omaha -
ha you may go into the churches today. For
there religion , society and fashion nro to be
peen uud the priest , the milliner and the
bcllo join hands in a celebration of flowers.
In a small basement room in a sldo street
pf this city , a sweet-voiced , kind-hearted wo
man of wealth coincs several days in each
Nvcelf to perform the homely duties of giving
food and clothing to tno slelr. It is interest
ing to notice the faces of the half-starved
jnotners uud children light up as sno greets
each with a pleasant smile and a cheery word.
They all like to come when she is there. She
rorannibors all the particulars of their sad
-lives. To her their sorrows are very rcaland
her words of sound advice nnd helpful sym
pathy are of greater service than the food she
elves. When will all charitably Inclined
women cultivate that largo spirit of benevo
lence which leads them to a genuine Interest
) n those they aid ?
Rustlan teas have become quite the fad ,
jfind the ones that have recently boon given
jn Boston were so successful and pretty that
ittioy will undoubtedly be more popular next
Reason than this. Everything about tbo
p'toa" must bo Kussltui , oven to the samovar
Jin which the delicious herb is browed. Young
{ ladles In pretty costumes assist the hostess ,
mid during the afternoon somoKusslan songs
Qro sung , which add interest to the occasion.
This Is a novel idea and is much more enjoy
able than the conventional reception. The
Russian idea is not always , however , carried
out ou so largo a scale , and oven the little
dainty 5-o'clock tea tables , which have become -
come almost indispensable for a lady's draw
ing room , are becoming Itussiau in their tone
and diameter. Tbo square bit of embroid
ery which is first placed spread unon the
tublo Is generally a piece of Hussion work
( picked up in foreign travel. The tea is made
by the hostess and Is put together according
ito the Russian rule. If It is mooo correctly
It is delicious , much of the virtue of the
drill 1 ; doiwnding upon the tea itself. Ac-
iCotnpanyiug the cup and saucers Is a dainty
' ipoon , sometimes Russian , Eomctltnos French ,
or oven American. _
Mrs. KMIott's Art Ijocturc.
On Wednesday evening last Mrs. Maud
Howe Elliott , nt the residence ot Mrs.
| Wm. WtUlaco , gave an interesting lecture on
& which was listened to by a number of the
nrt-lovlnc people of Omaha , The lecturer
confined herself to art as It exists today in
| America. She spoke of the desire of Ameri
cans to possess valuable pictures a do&iro
tvhich is of very recent origin , but which
already IB making our art galleries the equal
Of those on the other side.
I It was the lecturer's hope that before many
yean this country would pososs so mo of the
finest and most valuable private collections ,
and that Now York would bo looked upon
by all nations as tbo- great art center of tbo
world. She then described sotno of
the famous paintings in this country giving
n short biography of the artists who painted
tbcun. Her vivid description of omo of our
niodern auction soles was very realistic ,
The tendency ot Americans to imitate and
purchase pictures of artists who have become -
come celebrated , instead of searching for the
works of younger artists who have cot be
come famous us yet , but who , never
theless , paint works which are cre
ations , iva very much deplored.
She related several anecdotes wnich were
straight to tbo point , among others the fol
lowing : A youiiijlady richly dressed , seem-
Inijly a person of rcttucmeut and culture , was
tending before the famous painting 'The
Angelas. " Turning TO nor companion , she
asUod. "What docs 'The Angelus'
inoaul Does it moan the angel of
love ! " Mrs. Elliott closeU us foliowsi
/Tho Christmas number nnires , It con-
tainsachromo ; you look At It and fina it
ugly. The subject is poor , the idee worse.
The colors are bricbt ; you luvo nonca for

chlldrou. For the children indeed ! Would
you food them uooa tainted meat or
inustr psrridselVujr , thea , U you
look out for their stomnchi , why not
lookout for their young brains and educate
them to an early appreciation of true art. "
After the lecture a great many ot her
listeners availed themselves of the oppor
tunity to meet Mrs. Elliott , who proved to bo
a very charming woman. In conversation
with her she stated that Omaha was shortly
to bo entertained or another pcnlus of her
family , Mr. Chanleri the husband of Amelia

A Pupils' llrultal.
The next recital of tbo Ladles Musical so
ciety will he hold Wednesday afternoon at

and her pupils furnishing the programme.
The remembrance of tbo wonderfully suc
cessful recital given by the madamo's pupils
of the Sacred Heart convent lost season ,
tinder the auspices of the society , will no
doubt attract a very largo audience on this
occasion. Mmo. Mucnwfcring's class this
year Is much farther advanced than the class
which pave so delightful a concert lait sea

It was the very dlsagreablo weather of
Wednesday which kept a host of Mr. "W. T.
Tabor's friends away from bis organ recital
nt the First Congregational church , given
under the auspices of the Ladies1 Musical
society. Notwithstanding the small number
of listeners present , Mr. Tabor has never
been heard to so' excellent advantage since
his advent amongst the music loving people of
the city as an organist of uncommon promise.
There Is something about Mr. Tabor's play
ing which cannot help but make a deep im
pression upon his audience , and that some
thing umv oo defined to bo souL This In
terpretation , while always muslclauly , is
augmented by nn intuitive discernment as to
light and shade not marked in the scores ,
and it is in this that the organist excels.
Tne programme on Wednesday was a pos
itive treat to the few people present , for it
was played with a brilliancy that only is
vouchsafed the genius. '

Brass and tinseled rings , which were made
previously for cheap hracplots in the Jewelry
trade , are now used for drjapery purposes.
The inspirations as to colors are curious ;
frog preen , elephant pray , play an important
part , and many others equally eccentrically
named. '
It is rumored that tall beaver hats , un-
trimmcd , save for a Einplo ostrich plume , are
among the latest achievements of Parisian
milliners.
French manufacturcrsjflnj specially skill
ful in introducing every color , of even the
most subtle brocades , into passementeries
and fringes.
Circular designs formfefl of serpent lines
are soon : cubes are mado'up of these spirals.
The serpent is seen almost everywhere wither
or without head. ' ;
Serpent designs are seen on silk or wool
dress fabrics in all klnd of arrangements , in
spirals , in zig-zrfg deslgn'a-'real serpents with
heads and open Jaws , stripe arrangements ,
relief designs , etc. -
The stuffed birds''that"iavo ' been driven
from women's heaowcar ere trussed now and
laid on their backs on thoAOps of rustic bask
ets of Easter bonbons. -
If you have any kind of the long gold neck-
chains worn some fifty years ago , treasure
them , for in Paris they are once more worn
and are likely to come in again.
The triple fillets of velvet , pearls , or gold
cord are the most popular head-dross of the
moment. Sometimes Jet bauds of the same
forth serve for the foundation of bonnets.
A novelty this season Is tbo Illuminated
cretonne , which , when hung up to the light ,
shows the pattern with curious distinctness.
It is shown in four designs and seventy dif
ferent colorings.
Stationers' novelties come out in Easter
brightness. A basket for pen * , stamps or
small desk conveniences counterfeits aroDln's
nest in the crotch of a branch and sur
rounded by apple blossoms.
For lace phis two charming designs are a
shepherdess' crook of bright gold , in the cen
ter a diamond and ruby set slantwise. The
other Is a man's bamboo cane , and the gold
Is partly dull , partly polished.
All sorts of artistic objects in fine iron are
in vogue in England. Tbo queen recently
devoted a page to Illustrations of this work
and in an accompanying article dwelt upon
its constantly growing popularity.
Small Roman lamps in silver , shaped like
those found hi the catacombs , are seen. Tbo
irreverent would liken them to gravy boats ,
with the flame issulnc from the nose. These
lamps nro seen on fashionable dinner tables.
Princess dresses are frequently made to
fasten at the side , and are bordered down
the opening and round the horn with either
fur or feather trimmings ; the slcovo is ono
full puff to the elbow and thca tight to the
wnst.
The new cut-jot beads used in creating the
latest French garnitures for trimming toilets
of not and granadluo merit the tltlo of "black
diamonds" bestowed upon them , for they
glitter as brilliantly as any Jewels and are as
exquisitely cut.
There is a wide choice among green-blues ,
silver-blues , swallow , navy , geudarme , ciel ,
ocean , drake's-ncck , and lobelia , so that all
tvpes are amply provided for , discretion in
chooslnc being all that is noocloct to Insure
the becoming.
Beautiful curtian poles nro now made in
different shades of bronzes subdued antique
shades which are very rich and well adapted
to match with some of the Illuminated
leather work that now and again goes into
dinlng-roum decoration.
Hoses are always to the fore , and many
beautiful rosebuds oscur In the new brocades.
The deep rich pink , wbleU Is rather brighter
than old rose , forms sucfl a good background
to poinpudour sprays , u tin being the fash
ionable ground in profortwro to silk.
Women who like noithir the boll nor the
sheath skirt , with fan tttck , and who have
tlrod of pica tines , tako'Tcfuge in the moder
ately gored skirt , with'cither a long apron
overdress open up tbo siaalo the belt , or with
a similar foundation , gracdd with draperies a
la Grecque.
The shower bouqucti u nn exceedingly
handsome and original arrangement , the top
part ot which is forinoo , entirely of rod and
brown orchids , and long , grasses , ferns , etc. ,
intermingling -with a miusp of sllu ribbons of
a delicate pink color. When carried in front
of the drcsi has the effect of a cascade of
flowers. frf
Brass poles and ends hay ? boon superseded
to some extent by gilt goods. The gilt comes
in a tint of almost oraugbi hue. Some very
pretty ends are made of Orange in mattoe or
dead finish combined with the light brass
color. Lions' beads , with drupory rings sus
pended from their Jaws , have been made for
some time of various sizes , from the size of a
lemoa to a football.
A very becoming basque , to bo worn with a
long-bosqusd coat , is of spotted surah in a
pale color , wltb stimulated corselet and collar
of velvet. For this vest the front lining has
the material fulled on it , but ditched along
the edge and about three inches above , al
lowing the center fullness to "bag" or drop
considerably. The bolt , or corselet , 1s made
separately , and sown in. the side seam of the
vest , and when this is fastened the corselet
is lucod and completes a very graceful waist
coat

is with a private party that is well con-
dncto.1. Mrs. M. I ) . Frazar of Boston , Mass. ,
whoso advertisement will be found in
another column , hoi , made her tours both
popular and successful.
Death of Mrs. Frank E. littchle.
Communttated.
Perhaps the most cruel blow aealt hy the
n'nfecl of death , so far , during tbo prevalence
of la grippe and pneumonia was aimed vrlth
fearful precision at the five children of Mr.
Frank E. Ritchie of the Woodman linseed oil
True he Is bereft of anohlo helpmeet -who
encouraged ana supported him : who choercd
him ns ho went forth to his lahors and who
prcetod him with a srnilo and affectionate
embrace "when the evening sun was low "
who shared with him tbo summer zephyr ana
the wintry blast.
But they have lost a mother yes , a
mother in the most complete significance of
that grand term.
Magnificently equipped mentally she was to
'
thorn a mentor'of the rarest typo.
It was her constant aim to drill their minus
tenderly , carefully and firmly. Her life and
comfort were ever subordinate to their imme
diate happiness and destiny. No power can
measure the love she bore them. But she Is
gone her life work finished she has well
and fully earned the rest into which she has
now entered. ,
Farewell 1 Dear mother 1 Truest friend !
Thou knowest how deeply wo entered into thy
pleasures and sorrows 1 How tenderly , how
truly wo loved theel Farewell ! we will
ever hold sacred the memory of. thy example
and sacrifices ! Rest thee in peace I
