THE PAST WEEK Ccimlmr nilnnlrnl llntrrtulmitrnt for tlin llcnnlllof tlin Creche Moil Ami Club Or- Biiiilzn fur Mm heavm I.imclieona mid Afternoon * During IlioVoclc. . Preparations for the social season that opens In New York before many weeks are now proceeding on a scale of magnificence absolutely Saracenic. The money that Is to be spent In balls , dinners and dinner parties can be gauged pretty accurately In advance nnd conservative estimates places It well up In the millions. The season , according to the newspapers. Is to be what has been termed a "brass band" one all balls , cham pagne and suppers. This Is because so many millionaires emerge from mourning this att- tuinn. Mrs. John Jacob Astor will give six elaborate balls ; the various Vanderbllts tire down for dinners Innumerable ; the Webbs will not bo quiet , by any means. The Whlt- neyu ere to entertain In honor of Miss Paul ine ; the Gerrys , the Ocelots , the Schuylern , the McAllisters will be very conspicuous. Waldorf Astor Is expected on a flying trip. Hut the peculiar part of the coming season In Uio departure from conventional forms ot entertainment.Vclrd dances , elaborate merriment will be the order of the day , or rather the night. Mrs. Astor has achieved reputation ns a loader of bizarre tcrpslchorear. mazes. She Is very fond of alt ring hersek in bewilder ing cottumcs which give free play to the limb and .arm , after the fashion ol Trance , In which her early days were passed. To her Is < 1ue the new way of varylnp a flgur ? by having some society dame wheel Into the room on n b'cycle. rider and machine fantas tically beflowereJ. In the coming weeks these dlveralona are to be carried to bewildering extremes. There will be Hungar.an carni vals , flower races , ball room rose fights. Mul ticolored lights have been ordered , Mra. I'arnn Stevens being nn authority In these latter artistic details. One moment the danc ers will be under a stream of yellow rays , the next all will be dark , nnd then a burtt of green , blue and crimson light will alter nately Inundate the revelers. Jlevelry so unrestrained New York has yet to see. Some statisticians delight to predict what all thU la to cost. Seven millions Is the figures of coiuorvatlves. The wedding of Miss Inez May Hoskell "and Mr. William Edward I'almatler Wednes day evening at G o'clock was ono of thu distinct social events of the week. The ceremony was beautiful In Its simplicity. yet withal there was a plentiful display of flowers and plants throughout the room ; , while the bride was a lovely picture In n gown or satin ducliesse , with dainty pearl trim mings. Miss Haskcll , who Is the daughter of Mr. nnd Mrs. Henry A. Ilaskell , has been foremost In giving her girl friends proper recognition on their marriage days , and the memory of her brightness and her gooj humor called down upon her devoted head two or three score friends when her husband and herself left over the Missouri Pacific for the south , unrouto west on their honeymoon. It was Uio Jo.Host tort of a finale to a very lovely wedding and reception. The patrons of the theater In Omaha have frequently been entertained In the past by well presented performances of local amateur talent , but an Innovation will hold the boards at Uoyil's the coming Thursday night , when the Ethiopian Warblers will present nn en tirely new and. locally , entirely orlglna , . entertainment.

Kcjfj ; at the First Methodist church last Tuesday ! evening brought out sev eral new voices ithnt are likely to take on Important parfln future muslcale events. The program shBwed'thlrteen vocal numbers , each ono of whlih ,1ml , been careful.y se lected to suit tiio Individual range and ca pacity. r' ' > Miss LIzzIo s'vfiftz , who sang one of Jen sen's , jiretty , . bajads'Beside / the Window Slttest Thou , SJorfe , " displayed a soprano volco of charming quality In the middle tones and a decided talent for delicate expression. Ono of the best songs on the entire list. In point of classic purity and melody , was "To Scenes of Peace Retiring , " from Mo zart's "Magic Flute , " sung by Mr. Ralph W. Derrick , who Is Just beginning to be heard In solo work. Mr. Derrick's basso Is dis tinguished for nn exquisite mo llfluousness that Is sustained In all the registers. "With Verdure Clad , " the well known aria from the "Creation , " has been rendered time and again by some of Omaha's leading soloists , but It Is doubtful If It was ever sung better than on this occasion. Miss Van Kuran's soprano Is as sweet as a vesper bell , and although she makes use of a quasl- tremulo that amounts almost to a mannerIsm - Ism , her perfect enunciation and smooth facility of execution are such as to disarm criticism of the minor detect. In the second part of the program Miss VanKuran was again heard to good advantage In a triple number "A Summer Wooing. " "Two Brown Eyes , " and "When I Wander , " by Lynes , Grieg nnd Alden respective y. Miss Cathryn Cortelyou has a clear limpid soprano voice that shows a special aptitude for Interpreting the sentimental tenderness of just such a composition as the one sung by her "Forget-Me-Not , " by Bereny. In Lohr's boat song , "Out on the Deep , " Cyril Bruce Smith made a decided hit , win ning several rounds of applause. Having a virile bass volco that Is superbly sonorous/ Mr. Smith possesses the added advantage of a broad and dlgnlflcj style and a splendid stage presence. He also sang with equally goo I effect "A Summer Night , " by Gorlng-Thomas. A song that made an unusually good Im pression was Chadwlck's "Good Night , " by Miss Juliet McCune. Her deep , true contralto Is used with a lightness and freedom ot exe cution rarely found In a voice of so low a quality. Miss Mai Robinson sang "Enduring Love , " by Bereny. Miss Robinson's unaffected grace of style heightens the effect of a soprano vo'.ca that Is peculiarly sweet , pure and flexible. The Dudley Buck number , "Come- Where the Lindens Bloom , " was rendered by Mr. Jonathan Mellen , who has a robust tenor voice that excels In passages requiring force and color. The florid style of his selection , which was sung with an artistic perception of Its sentiment , somewhat relieved the somberness - berness Imparted by the more- serious pieces. During the evening the Harmony Ladles quartet Misses Van Kuran , Robinson , Hav- erly and McCune sang "The Blue Bells of Scotland , " a madrigal of a certain homely sweetness of melody , nnd Mr. Kelly , Mr , Smith and Miss Van Kuran gave the trio from "Israel. " The program was further augmented by two Instrumental numbers Chopin' * "Impromptu , " by Miss Alma Ringer and the overture to Beethoven's "Egmont , " a duet by Miss Ringer and Miss Mary Gun nlngham , Miss Julia Tollaferro , who recently left Omaha to toke charge of the musical de partment of thtf Illinois Conservatory of Music at Jacksonville. mndo a very good Im pression on the occasion of her first public appearance In that oily , as evinced by the following clipping * from the Dally Illinois Courier : "Miss Tallaferro appeared three times on the program , her first number being Cavatlna "fee ttomeo t'ucclse un flg- llo. La tremendft , " a 'dlfilcult composition by Bolllnl. In her'second number she sang " ' three brief songif , th'o ' first two being re spectively by Dcrtza 'nnd Grieg , and of the moro classical type. The last of the three was entitled "My taddlo. " and was a pretty little ballad by Neldllhger. So pleased were her many listeners' ' that they would not bo satisfied till she hnd responded to an encore , singing a beautifullittle aria by Donizetti. Her final number on the program was Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U.S.Gov't Report Bakin "Grande Vnlie , " by Veniano , Mln Tall- afcrro'i reception on the occasion of thin , her first appearance before a Jacksonville audi ence , WAS certainty a great compliment ( o the musical ' abilities of that lady. She po - sesses n mezzo-soprano volco of splendid | strength nnd range , and evinces rr.rc culluro In her rendition of the music ot the great masters , and withal she Is a lady ot pleasing presence and of thorough culture In all de partments ot music and foreign languages and literatures. Slip has made a most happy Impression among her pupils , nnd all seem satisfied that she can give them the best that could bo found In any of the largo cities , east and west. " Mrs. J. W. Cotton desires The Bee testate state that she docs not contemplate asso ciating herself with the Omaha School of Music. Talking of the matter Mrs. Cotton sold Mr. Jones had been anxious for her to take charge of the vocal di'pnitmcnt of the conservatory , but she told him from the very first that she did not desire to connect herself with any. school , much preferring private pupils to class work which n con servatory would require. Her tlmo Is al ready largely taken up , so that It Is Im possible for her to undertake any outside work If she dpslred to do so. She regrets the report was made so universal In view of the fact that there was no foundation to the rumor. Mr. Knabe , the manufacturer of the pianos bearing that name , was In the city last week , the Rucst of Mr. Adolph Meyer. This was Mr. Knabo's second visit to Omahu , but he expects to make" trip hero at least twice a year In the future. Thursday afternoon Mr. Knabe visited the Omaha Conservatory of Music.

Dr. Ohaplii Micros Wires Should Not Bo Required to Promise Obcdlouco. ANTIQUE WORD IN MARRIAGE CEREMONY Opening Might with the Youiiff .Mrn's Chris- ulun Aisorlntlon 1'nstiir 1'lshor'N I'lnt \Vurk--t "Ucogmplilriil Social" w\itioiie the I.oral Churchci. The British Weekly , London , in a recent Issue , propounded the query , "Should wives promise obedience ? " and solicited replies. Among those responding Ur. Augusta J , C Imp In of the First Unlversallst church , this city , wrote ns follows ! "A word irom n woman minister on this side of the Atlantic may contribute to the solution of what still appears to many a perplexing problem. "Woman in our day has come Into pos session of her Inheritance as n human soul. .All doors of culture and opportunity QIC- open to her. and entering , she has coma unto her own. She Is no longer a child ; still less Is she a chattel or a servant. She Is now an Intelligent , responsible human being a coiiscluu * child of God , The word 'obey' in the marrlaga ceremony of some of the churches Is a mere survival from a former condition of society. In our age It Is an anachronism. U Is not too much to say that to rlght-mlndcd men and women the word Is without significance. No man worthy the name can ask such n promise from his wife , and no woman who under stands her duty to herself , to her husband nnd to heaven dares maku It without reser vation. The mere word must bring a sense of humiliation alike to both , This alone Is reason sufficient for striking It out forever. Every syllable of the sacred marriage vow should mean something to those who take il. "When marriage Is what it should be there Is no Question of authority or obedi ence' on the part .of cither husband or wife. True love is law. It delights In giving , gives without measure and never willingly asks of the beloved one what would be harder or painful to grant. It Is when the union Is not what It should be , as often happens , that the Intrinsic wrong of the old form appears. The marriage vow should mean to one party precisely what It docs to the other. "Holding these views , it has been my In variable practice In performing the marriage ceremony to require the same promise from the man as from the woman. And this. I think , la the prevailing custom In the United States , except In the Romish church nnd in ono or two of the moro conservative protestant bodies , Even by the latter the word 'obey' is very frequently omitted at the request of the contracting parties. " v. .M. c. A. Opciiliii Thursday night was opening night with the Young Men's Christian association. Persons who arc familiar with the old as sociation hall , with the stage on the west end , were- surprised and pleased to note that everything had been made over In the Interior of that hall. The stage Is now on the north slcla of the hall and scats have been arranged In semi circular form facing the stage from all points and are from two to four Inches further apart than formerly , this feature in itself being a great Improvement. There is n new celling of light pine with cherry beams ns girders , which , taken In connection with the harmonizing lints of the wall paper , make the room one of the most artistic as well as the best music halls in Omaha or In Nebraska. The orchestra under the direction of Mr. A. PInder rendered choice selections through out the evening. Exercises In the gymnasium attracted much attention. The galleries , and any place from which a view could be obtained of the work being done In the "gym , " were crowded from 8:30 : to 9:30. : ' , Mr. E. B. Cook Is the physical director and the work ot his classes showed the result of much systematic drilling nnd training. Much of this work might seem like play to an on looker , but to one who knows It is work , and work which builds up the body to that high tone of health and strength which is the natural birthright of the body , but which is often lost from lack of proper trulnlng and Instruction. There were no circus tricks per formed , just simply the- dally working of the class. The Mozart quartet's numbers were well selected and admirably executed. The first number wna encored thres times. Mrs. Sunderland's recital of "How the Church Was Built" showed a degree of talent and a depth of feeling which were apprec'atcJ by the audience , as evinced by generous ap plause- and a hearty encore , to which she re sponded by reciting "Nine Young Men. " Lovers of the trombone were given a treat by Mr. Arytcn , who was formerly solo trom bonist of the Elgin Cornet band. Young ' ' ' . I'rapln'n C'lnh. By the efforts of Rev. Mr , Fisher , the new pastor , a young people's club with a mem bership of thirty has been organized at the Plymouth Congregational church In Kountze Place. The organization was perfected last Tuesday night and hereafter regular meet ings will be held In the church parlors each alternate Tuesday evening. At the meetings of the club there will bo a literary program rendered each evening , the features being readings from standard authors , debates and the discussion oC live subjects.
