Lent exists only In Omaha as far ns
Omaha society Is concerned. And even here
It Is not what It used to be. It has lost Its
austerity , It hag n more cheerful way obout
It , In Hhort It la n rather jolly period and
comes with fewer terrors on Its heels.
After n season of unusual gayoly Lent comes
ns a blessed relief to the surfeited society
men and women who have basked In the
sunshine of countlpns functions.
Nobody over expects Lent to bo wildly
merry , consequently nobody Is ever disap
pointed when It Is not. When It Is , as It has
been of Into years , society says so much
the better ; It looks for nothing , but It ac
cepts thankfully when In town whatever It
can get in the way of te.i.s , dinners , concerts ,
sowing classes and other forms of Innocent
amusement , nnd there Is prospect enough
that the Innocent amusements will not bo
given over entirely to n study of Baxter's
"Saints Rest" nnd other forms of religious
reading. The first week of Lent shows n
wonderful falling off In entertainments , but
this Is to be expected. The snow has given
no end of nmuscmcnt to the devotees of
fashion , nnd sleighing parties have been the
rule during the past seven dnys. Ono of
the jolllcst parties of the season wns that
given by Mr. Kd Mullen Friday evening ,
chaperoned by Mr. nnd Mrs. W. II. Mclklc.
After the rldo about the suburbs , "over the
hills and fnr nwny , " n delicious supper was
served nt McTnguo's. The guests on this
occnslon were : Miss \Voodworth. Miss Redman
man , Miss Curtis , Miss Doane , Miss \Vakoly ,
Miss Ilughen , Miss Hlinebaugh , Mr. and
Mrs. Mcikle , Mr. Gulou , Mr. Doane , Mr.
Clark Redlck , Mr. Charles How , Mr. Zug ,
Mr. Garncau , Mr. Mullen.

The very tragic ending which Mjy Urookyn
lyn chose for her life came to her few
friends In Omaha as a profound shock , for
In life she was not usually morbid , but In
clined to thp brighter , happier sldo of
things. Quito ten years ago the woman
who showed In her death that life wns
not worth living without compnnlon-
shlp was a second - rate actress
"barnstorming" about the country In "Durr
Oaks , " n lurid melodrama of the coal fields
of the east. But even then she showed
ability of nn uncommon order nnd her ulti
mate success In the profession she loved
showed how well she had been schooled In
uio icuniiKiuo 01 mo Bingo acquired uirougii
long association with provincial companies
on the other side of the Atlantic.
Thoroughly Kngllsh In every respect , she still
loved America , for here It was that she
won her greatest successes. May nrookyn's
candle burned luminously when It did burn.
Its light always shed a good warm glow
that found Us way Into all corners of the
stage , and to many of Its people stood a
beacon of Intelligence. Out Into the space
beyond the proscenium arch Its diffusiveness
was a fascinating atmosphere such as
the theater Is fast losing hold of ;
It Is escaping through the crannies
and chinks of modern-day building
where foundation stones are rotten and the
mortar used for binding Is but dust. May
Brookyn's disappearance Into the great sea
of mystery make a few tiny ripples , but to
those who still linger on the shore the
little waves break silvery with recollections
of the many characters she had portrayed
through her long association with the stage.
It was In the "Pharisee" that she won
her greatest triumph , her Individuality being
most agreeable , suggesting In methods and
general style Agnes Ethel when she was at
her best. If there Is any clyslum reserved
for the dead she will come to It with her
harp In her hand , and the mists of remorse
and the Tires of disappointment will take on
a new seeming as she touches the golden
strings.
Thurslou lilllvs.
In years to come , when the Thurston Rides
shall have bccomo famous as a crack mili
tary company , they will look back with
pleasure to the "stag" party given on Satur

.Military goclnl i\cnt. :
The Washington Star of February 8 gives
the following very Interesting account of
Mrs. Daniel Lament's visit to Fort Meyer
as the guest of Colonel and Mrs , Guy Henry ,
well known to our own people. The Star
says :
Misty and muggy and rainy as It was ,
this day was brighter than are most days
nt Fort .Meyer. Even had the weather been
very much worse than It wns. It would have
had no effect on the combined military-social
event for which the post always In what
seems to bo perfect condition this morning
put on Its best bib nnd tucker.
Excrclbcs In the riding hnll are qulto com
mon at Fort Meyer , but It Is only at rare
Intervals that the wife of a secretnry of war ,
accompanied by a distinguished party ,
climbs the short stairway to the riding hall
balcony nnd watches the troopers go
through their Invariably Interesting program.
That , however , Is what happened this morn-
Ing.
Ing.It
It was not a surprise party , though , for
Colonel and Mrs. Henry had Invited Mrs.
La mon t nnd her friends to breakfast , and
had arranged matters so that their guests
should see how well trained nnd how agile
nro the soldiers who arc at Fort Meyer , be
cause they nro especially deserving of the
honor of being stationed at the "show post"
of the army.
The equestrian exorcises were competitive.
Instead of ordering but ono troop Into the
hall , Colonel Henry had the troop com
manders each select the twelve men who
would be the most likely to do their re
spective troops credit , nnd the result was a
performance that fairly rivaled the widely
advertised military tournament over which
Chicago and Now York went Into spasms
of admiration.
First to pound over the tan bark were the
twelve men and horses from troop A , First
cavalry , commanded by Lieutenant J. F. R.
Landls ; then came the delegation from 1C of
the Ninth , under Lieutenant Alexander W.
Perry ; the twelve from II of the Eighth ,
under Lieutenant Alfred C. Morlllat , and
then the representatives of F of the Seventh ,
under Lieutenant Robert Sewoll.
Details of the feats that were performed
would bear close resemblance to the pro
gram of n four-ring circus. There wns hurdle -
dlo jumping by files , by twos nnd by fours ;
there wns mounting and dismounting In all
sorts of fashions and whllo the homes were
moving nt all varieties of gaits.
Some of the mon jumped from n spring
board over the backs of ono , two nnd three
animals , und ono acrobatic trooper did the
feat with n finale to It which Included stand
ing on his head on the further horse's back
before dropping on his feet on the bark.
Then the horses were thrown without any
apparent effort on the part of those who did
( ho throwing , nnd It didn't seem to bo nt
nil hard for ono horse to carry throe or
four soldiers around when such nn exhibition
was called for.
Occasionally there was snmo especially
clover work that would bring out n round
of applause from the deeply Interested spec
tators.
When Colonel Henry's whistle notified the
last twelve to retire from the arena Lieuten
ant Landls took command of the consollda-
datlon nnd then ensued n troop drill that
had In It Innumerable opportunities for con
fusion not one of which wus taken advan
tage of.
It wns excellent throughout , the circling
by fours being mnrvelously accurate and
the more wonderful when It IK remembered
that the men wore from different companies
nnd uru not drilled In that mlxed-up way
very frequently , If over before.
It wns noon when the exercises were over
and then the Invited gueuts proceeded to the
commanding officer's quarters , where Mrs.
Henry awaited them and whore , after the
formal courtesies were attended to , break
fast was nerved ,
The dccotatlons were tasteful throughout
nnd the menu nil that could bo expected of
n Hklllful chef , Those present wore : MM.
Lament , Miss Sanders , Miss Lockwood , Mrs.
Collamoro , Miss Oornoll , Miss Scott , Miss
Blackburn. Miss Ilrccklnrldgo , Mrs. Kennon ,
Mrs. lUmtoii , Miss Ruggles , Miss Slocum ,
Mlas Huddloston and Miss Brlco ; Lieutenant
Beaten , Lieutenant Koanou , Lieutenant
Perry , Lieutenant Landls , Lieutenant Sowell ,
Captain Pitcher , Lieutenant Holnor. Lieuten

Cornell.

An Impromptu recital nt the Omnlm
School of Opera Wednesday morning af
forded nn cnjoynble hour's entertainment to
the few patrons of the Institution who were
fortunate enough to bo present. The pro
gram wa furnished by Mrs. F. B. Millar ,
who sang the part of Azucena from VcrJI's
well known opera , "II Trovatore , " and the
famous "Jewel Song" from "Faust. "
The task to which Mrs. Millar wan as
signed was n trying ono nnd the manner In
which she acquitted herself wns nt once n
surprise to her friends nnd n source of
gratification to Mr. Marctzek , under whose
tutelage uhe has been finishing her musical
education. Although gifted with n voice of
exceptionally pleasing quality , which has
been faithfully cultivated for many years ,
Mrs. Millar has heretofore modestly re
frained from n publlo appearance In Omaha ,
Meanwhile she has none the lean diligently
Improved her school and developed her lone ,
so that her performance of Wednesday wns
n delightful surprise to her ami [ tors , who
re-cognized In her rendition of several most
trying selections a taste nnd accuracy but
tuhlom excelled.
Mru. Millar's voice Is n mezzo soprano of
exceptional range nnd purity. She sings
with case from F below the staff to B above ,
and her rendition Is n plcnslng Illustration
of the pure Italian method. Her chest tones
arc full and well rounded , without losing n
particle of their natural purity. Her voice
lacks the fault so often remarked In mezzo
sopranos , who sing the chest tones perfectly ,
but full entirely to render the higher notes
with equal sweetness. Whllo her head tones
can scarcely bo said to equal the exquisite
purity of her lower register they are clear
nnd perfectly modulnted.
In the selection of "II Trovatoro" Mrs.
Millar was heard to the best advantage In
the "Dagger Song" and In the duo with
, Manrlco , "Wilt Thou Leave Mo Hero In
Sadness ? " Although the Inspiration af
forded by the responses of Manrico was
wanting in the latter song , no shade of the
Intense feeling of the music was missed. The
strain wns well suited to the voice of the
singer nnd It wns rendered with a tone and
expression but seldom excelled on the pro
fessional stage.
The "Jewel Song" was an equally com
mendable performance and no ono who
listened to her effort can doubt that Mrs.
Millar Is likely to attain nn enviable posi
tion not only In the musical circles of
Omaha , but of the west.
Mr. W. T. Taber will give his seventeenth
organ recital this afternoon nt 3:30 : In the

of Chicago. Miss McMacken has received a
irpnf. ilnnl of iiratsn from these who have
