Only two moro days until Lent cast 'ts '

nro Hint when - < vn Wodnosdny makes Its
ontrnnco , w " nu accompanying dlrgo of
sacKclotli nnu nshos , a great many of the
more fortunate girls will go away for a few
ivcolis to rogatn their strength and bright
looks possibly they will go somewhere
where Lout li unknown and there keep up
the round of pleasures loft behind.
11' , always thei way. Society rushes and
tp'rs around at n breakneck pace during the
, dcason nnd then when Bhrovo Tuesday closes
In everybody settles down to n period of In
activity. That Is the impression that goes
abroad of the followers of the beau mondo.
Of course they don'trcally.boouusotho dread-
lul monotony of Lent is broken by "small
musie-nlos , " "lectures" and "theater parties , "
all these forms of entertainment being nllow-
nblo among thu loss strict observers of tha
Lenten ritual. Hut from the experience of
n Society Woman the fond mammas who
sand away their daughters nro the only ones
who huvo the right Idea of "a complete rest.1'
They have given nil the euro and lovu to the
daughters who nro In the swim ; they have
constantly watched ever thorn , taken care of
their health , looked after their goloshes and
wrap ? , warned tbom of the evil Influences ! of
sitting in draughts nnd generally hnvo boon
the Fldus Achilles of tlioir marriageable girls ,
nnd to these the Lenten rest comes with
thankfulness nnd Joy. It means that for
them the wheels of soclnl nativity will cease
to revolve nnd all social machinery coma to a
standstill.
Sarah Bornhnrdt's gowns In the "La
Tosuu" performance carried correctness as
to epoch ns well as njsthotlc boauty. The
robu in the third act was of especial elegance.
On n petticoat of white tulle embroidered
with gold dots nnd bordered with n ruche of
tulle in which palo plmc roses wore held at
Intervals by lovers' knots of pink ribbon , she
were nn upper dross ot white satin o'mbroid-
orod with gold flour do lis. This rich fabric
forming the low corsngo swept from the
shoulders down to form the train and the full
ness of drapery on the front of the skirt , a
fiirdlo of cold confining the fullness at the
waist. Tbo sweep of this silk overdress wns
outlined on ono side from the rluht shoulder
ndowu the train nnd across the bodlco to the
edge of the pointed drapery by n garland of
wild roses , a spray of laurel leaves nnd ber
ries of oimmelod gold and diamonds looping
the folds of the drapery on the right sido. On
\ the lelt a double lovers' knot of diamonds
Bought the overdress up to the waist line ,
giving a piquant display of the elaborate
undtirdross already described , which was
worn ever n slip of white satin. A superb
diamond necklace and a bracelet of immense
rubies and diamonds were tbo Jewels worn
wltn this dross. Bornhurdt has a beautiful
back , with dimples tbat reveal themselves at
every movement of her shoulders , nnd she
Blways wears her corsage cut In a way to
show these enviable , beauty marks.
It wasn't to bo wondered at thatour Omaha
girls should rave over Alonsleur Darmont ,
Bernhnrdt's loading man , Just as the girls of
How York and Sail Francisco have dono.
Two years ago ho wns n reporter on ono of
the Purls papers. One night ho took the rog-
ulai'lTltic'a place nt tho'flrst'porformanco of
"Juan of Arc. " The classical beauty of his
lace , the manly strength of his figure , caught
the great actress' eye at onco. Sno ont for
htm , urged nnd commanded him to gtvo up
tils career and let her tutor him in acting.
"Voila ! " as niadamo herself would say.
Ho felt ho had no special tolont for the stage ;
indeed , had no reason whatever for attempt
ing to become an actor , except Bcrnlmrdt'i '
doslre. No man can resist her , they say , and
young Darmont was not nn exception.
What though she bo at least 43 , and a
gramlmothurl Was not the famous Ninon
do 1'Euctos ' so attractive at 80 that her own
great-grandson fell desperately in love with
ber , but committed suicide because of the
hoiiolussuoss of his suit )
3/fas not the great master , Balzac , devoted
yvunty or thlrtyof his masternlecos to studios
* of the women of a certain agdj which moans ,
talto it , the woman of 40 or moro.
Bornbnrdt has lived such n rapid life-
compressed so much of passion nnd excite
ment Into it , that somehow it seems
Impossible to think of her as out
of the "sturra und drang" unshaken by emo
tion , old , inllrm.
But her power , for none will gainsay that
It exists , rests largely upon that clear , low
TOico ( the sivoetostsuroly that mortal woman
was ever glftod with ) and those dark , lumin
ous eyes , that llko the heart brim over
with moisture when aroused. Why , she had
only to say "Bon null , messieurs"'to the re
porters presented during her midnight visit
to Tun Bi'.n , under the escort of Mr. Rosewater -
water , to inako willing slaves of all those
who caino boncalh her gor.tlo spell.
In every century slnco' history began there
Tinvn boon certain women possessing the
witchery of Lillth-tho power to beguile mon.
Lady Alacbotb was such nn ono , Pompa
dour , etu Harry , Potochl.and in o jr own days
Langtry , liornlmrclt , yes even Zolio do Lus-
ean and Lillian Russell all of thorn of this ,
type ? .
It Is far beyond beauty of feature or form ,
Is this secret by which women bcgulio man
kind. You can't dotlno it It Is a trick that
has ballled the subtlest analysts of women.
Mlcbolot , Balzao and do Alaupassaut In
Franco , Thackeray and George Eliot In Eng
I land nnd even our own word-spinning , over-
olaborntlvo novelist , Howolls , bavo had a try
at defining It and failed.
) It is n mysterious facultylnborn nnd not to
la acquired. Culture and refinement mav
enhance It. It cannot bo created.
Now that I nrn talking of Bornbardt
, H may not bo out of plaoo to
ay right here that she wrote her numo on
quito half u dozen tea tray cloths and other
things sent back to the stage by the swell
wo.nen of Omaha. And she signed them
.Without ns much as a murmur , but remarked
Jo a frlond that American women were tha
world's immtest faddists. I wonder if that
true !

but prove delightful. A3 might have been
expected , everything was on nn elaborate
scale. The dinner began at 7 o'clock , the
guests sitting at small tables , ana nt the
close of each course the men , napkins In
hand , progressed upward , "a very enjoyable
feature. " as one fair girl nut It , "for it gave
the women mi opportunity to moot all her gen
tlemen friends.11 The tables \vcro decorated
In wlillo nnd green , tinted tnpcri giving
forth subdued rays from rautt-colorod similes.
After the dinner which served as n charming

our country , the first favors being moccasins
ami pipes , then hatchets and cherries , euns
and sabers , red and white roses and violets ,
eagles and Hags of all nations , The second
Indirect figure might with cntlro propriety
bo called "Questions nnd answers concerning
discoveries nnd discoverers. " It was danced
in this wise. Largo whlto placards were
painted with the answers to the questions
given to Iho ladles In envelopes. Those pla
cards were suspended nbout the nocks of the
men , the ladles dancing with those who car
ried the answers to their questions. Aa for
Instance , "Who nsslatod Columbus In his
discovery of America ! " was enclosed in nn
envelope , whllo on the placard was
printed "Ferdinand and Isabella , " and tlio
young lady having the question danced with
the in n carrying thobannor whichnnswcrcd
the quoitlon. llut there were several lu-
lilcrous mistakes , the young women , In their
hastoto dance , not caring much whether
they dancort with the men who properly rep
resented the answer to their questions or
not. The fifth indirect figure was very
pretty the thirteen orlglual states. The
sixthdiroot was the stars nnd stripes. Amer
ican onglos holding the tri-color being tbo
favors given. The seventh Indirect com
bined two figures , north and south nnd guns
and saoors. Tlio ninth indirect was particu
larly beautiful. Using the May-pole dance as
a suggestion , n largo stuff was brought in to
which wns attached a largo banner bearing
the words , "Tho World's Fair , " whllo be
neath it were countless rod , white ana blue
ribbons. The closing figure was tbo flags
of all nations uniting under tbo aegis of the
starry folds.

Society Is often accused of being heartless ,
but there Is seldom a charitable movement
to xvhlch people of social distinction do not
land a helping hand if asked to. The Na
tional Pageant , which has Just had three
successful presentations In Omaha , wns a
conspicuous example of this fact. Nearly 800
persons gave freely of their time nnd energy
10 its production , and the magnificent result
is a lluttoring commentary upon their gonor-
out kindliness.
The Pagaant represented In the form of
tableaux n number of the Important eras in
American history. The manager of thu af
fair brought n roat many costumes of cor
rect historical design , nnd quaintly curious
many of thorn were , Each tableau employed
a number of persons , who were effectively
posoJ. nnd the scene was frequently helped
out with npnropriato music nnd explanatory
speech. Thu participants acquitted them
selves creditably , and all are entitled to com
mendation for the excellence of their efforts'
The Pageant opened with n scene represent
ing Columbus ( Chnvlo * 11. Sherman ) making
his last plea for help. Ho stands before
Quocn Isabella ( Miss Honn Hamilton ) nnd
IClng Ferdinand ( Dr. B. F. Crummor ) ,
seated on a whlto tut one. About them arc
grouped lords , Indies , pages , monks , the
chancellor und n nun. The queen listens to
the navigator's plea , then arises and pledges
her Jewels , If need bo , to give the desired
help.rho
rho second tableau represents the landing
of the Pilgrims nt Plymouth roclt. In the
center of the group is the whlto-hnlrod Gov
ernor Carver ( W. 11. Alexander ) with hands
lifted to heaven , and at his side is his wife
( Airs. F. Colpotzor ) . Some of the Pilgrims
are gazing out upon the sea in the back
ground , while others ore anxiously examin
ing an Indian ( Charles B. Nowcomb ) .
The Courtship of Allies Standlsh Is given
in two scones. The llrst opens with Priscilla
( Miss Knio Urndluy ) singing at her spinning
wheel. John Alden ( L. F. Crofoot ) enters
and presents Standhh's offer , of marriage.
Priscilla rejects the proposal and coyly asks
"Why don'iyou speak for yourself. John ! "
John took the hint , and tno second scene dis
closes his wadding in the presence of n largo
company of colonists. Allies Standish
( Chailos Barton ) enters at that moment ,
takes in the situation at a glance and in a
pretty pantomime blesses the newly made
couple.
The fourth tableau shows a colonial
kitchen with un nbnormably largo family ,
and is intended to illustrate the sphere of
woman's work in the good old days. The
mother ( Airs. Humes ) Is crooning to an in
fant. A daughter of uncertain ago ( Aliss
Whitney ) is ironing the week's washing and
sings a song full of hope for the lover that
never came. A schoo'linarm ( Mrs. Poor )
has a class df youngsters In ono corner , but
thu unruly pupils ura distracting her with
their antics. The lather ( W. H. Alexander )
bas been rocking a cradle made of a barrel ,
but bis hands huvo oeon busy shelling corn.
As ho takes up the dummy infant and sings
a lullaby bo gets a salvo of hands from his
friends. Other children are employed darn
ing , knitting , spinning , washing dlshot , etc. ,
and the whitohnirod Grandfather ( P. W.
Houry ) and grandmother ( Miss Porrino )
sit peacefully in their midst.
A stately affair Is the Reception of Wash
ton ( W. li. Do.ine ) nndLufnyetto ( Alfred P.
Wolcott ) , who are assisted by Alartha
Washington ( Mrs. D. W. Bunham ) und Mr
and Airs. John Adams ( A. P. Guiou and Miss
Emily Wnkoluv ) . The feature of this nff.ilr
11 a minuet danced by Air. and Airs. Cloraent
Chase , Alessrs. Charles Wilson , Notherton
Hall , Augustus ICountzo , Earl Gannett , C.
A. Wanner. L. F. Crofoot and Lieutenant
Whitman , and Alissos Hoagland , Laura
Hoacland , Blanche AIcKontii ) , Sailio Nash ,
Bertha Yost , Bo-tslo Hall nnd Djisy Doane.
The ladies are in the daintiest of quaint ,
gowns , with powdered hair and fonthcr
fans. Their cavaliers nro in colored knick
erbockers and embroidered vests nnd coats
with voluminous neckerchiefs and white
wigs. As they move with slow , measured
tread to the music of the orchestra auUfcbow
and courtsoy it makes ono of the prettiest
pictures of Iho whole attair.
The Battle of Bunker Hill is represented
bv the scene of General Warren's death.
Warren ( Dr. W. G. Snonccr ) has buon
caught in the arms of General Putnam
( Lioutenaut-.l. S. Mallory ) . A British red
coat is in the act of bayoneting the fallen
here , but his arm is nrrostod by General
Pitcairn ( C.iplaiu C. A. Dempsey ) . Conti
nental und liuglish soldier * ( mi'inbors of the
Second infantry from Fort Omaha ) , nro
grouped about , these central ii urcs like so
many statues , as though they had been In
stantaneously petrified in the mld&t of a
canllict. A commendable quartet sings
"Tho Sword of Buukor Hill. "
The Declaration of Independence Is ropro-
son ted allcgorlually. A group of continental
soldiers occupy the stugo with Amorlcp ( Mrs ,
Pon'd-Pom In their midst. The Trinity
caUieili-.il choir boys march in singing a
hymn and America rends tbo preamble nnd
the pledge of the immortal declaration , A
second siono opens revealing thirteen young
ladies in beautiful classic draperies of white
arranged in a pyramid with the Goddess of
Liberty ( Miss Anna Bishop ) at the npox.
Columbia ( MM. J. W. Colton ) step ) forward
with a Hug and sings "Tho Star Spangled
Banner. "
The departure of tha Nebraska volunteers
for tbo war Is cleverly imitated. The cur
tain goes un on , a party of boys and clrls
waving handttortmiefi to an approachlnor
company. The Omaha guards under com
mand of Captain Mulfortl marches into view
mill go through a few maneuvers. The war
governor ( Hon. John L. Webster ) enters
upon the scene with this staff nnd presents
the company with alag / , a gift from wive *
und sweethearts. The commander responds
brlolly to the governor's speech , and the
boys In blue nmich awnv to thu tune of "Tho
Girl I Loft Behind Mo. "
Woman's patriotism is illustrated by a
hospital Bcciio from tl.o war , mid it
was ono of the most effective of
the program , It is n bit of realism that
has n sad meaning for nur.v who
saw it , bovoral soldiers nro lying In cots
nnd covered with white spreads. Nurses
( Mlsso-i AlliiuU IC-jiinody and Alargarjt Ale-
Kell ) are busily ongogod in ministering to
their romfort. i'hn surgeon UJr. J. C.
DonUi ) passes through the wnrd. A fallen'
hero ( Uapiulu Mulford ) Is Ivlng un n'
strotclier , und the hospital squad marches
with slow , snd tread lo remove the body.
Ono of tbo boldiors groans , Another starts
up in his sleep nnd calls out "Moths'rl" ' A
( lower girl ( MUs Uortha Clarkson ) enter ? ,
slnslng "Homo , Sweet Homo" In a soft ,
sweet voice , and passes from cot to cot , dls-
trltmtlng her fragrant blossoms. A widowed
mother ( Mrs. Warren Switzlor ) comes in
search of her "boy , " but ho sees her lirat ,
and , rliing with the aid of the nui-so , no
culls In u wouuioiiud volco ; "Mother !
mother ! " They are clasped In each other's
arms us the curtain goes. down. It Is a touchIng -
Ing bcuno and was cluvorly acted.
The Emancipation Proclamation Is Indi
cated by a group of northerners listening to
Its reading by Hon. John L. Wobbler. As
thty leave the stage the scenorv parts and
reveals u party of ulackd. who singu sonic of
pralso. For an encore they dance the Vir
