The hostess who Is i member of some
lltcrarv orloty or writing group can arrange
ft novel luncheon for her co-workers by the
following simple1 method I. ° t the pi ices nt
the table be deilgnatfd by miniature books
resembling In appearance , It posilble , those
of elastics from various Unguiges. On each
tiny volume put the name of a guest. When
Bhe opens her book It will be found stored
with bonbons. A folded pag' should also
be Inclosed , on which Is a bilof account of
the author whoso name appears on the back
of the mock volume. This suggestion can
be modified in n gical many wajs , so that
there Is plenty of chanca for the hostess to
express her own Individual ! ! ) In carrying
out 'lie idea. .
It is oisy for the young wotmn who In-
vltcs her companions of the tennis court to
n tennl ) luncheon to astonish her guests by
unlqua decorations. These can be made to
sooni quite elaborate without necessitating
any great outlay. For instance , let the table
represent a tennis court , the lines Indicated
by ribbons pinned on the cloth , whllo across
the c nter a white silk net can bo stretched ,
( supported by pollshrd wooden poles. If the
hostess has a knack at orua-
ninnal painting she can decorate
her menu cards with tennis designs
and appropriate descriptions "Love all" will
serve for the champion's card , and "wrong
court" will be appropriate for the young
man wli03 > tennis achievements are not a <
remarkable as those of his dally occupation.
A woman who conducts n polyglot depart
ment In the World-Herald under the title ol
"A Word with the Women , " In which mar
Is very largely exploited , seeks to bellttl'
the speech of Mr Edward Hosewater at the
dinner given In honor of General Copplngei
Wednesday evonlng by putting Into the
mouth of the speaker words which he did nol
utter. As the only active representative 01
the city press present besides Mr Rosewater
the World-Herald not even appreciating tin
occasion by any attempt of a report of tht
dinner except In the most perfunctory man
nor. It occurs to the writer to recite some
what the Incident leading up to the speech
Until Mr. Rosewater rose to epeak , after ar
nlmoU unanimous call , no act toast card hav
Ing been prepared , the speeches were reinln
hcent In character and therefore somewhat
Bombsr , filled , however , with lofty thought !
and expressions befitting the occasion. He
alMng that the dinner was given for a po
tcntlal figure present , not for any of tin
worthies who Illuminate the military page o
Ilia Department of the Platte li
past times , Mr Rosewater madi
what was considered by every one present i
happy effort , short , but full of pleasantries , Ir
view of the fact that he was callcJ upon ti
represent the press. He declined to trea
the occasion as seriously as his predecessor !
had done and spoke about protecting thi
nrmy so long as It remained in The Bei
building , n remark which was enthusiast !
cally applauded , because the humor of tin
situation was apparent. There was no at
tempt at Invidious comparisons and th
speech was llko the champagne , full o
spark ! ' , a relief from the heavier course
which precede ! It.
Until the New York World had publlshei
a two-column article about the latest thing I
cuff buttons not many people who had seni
Vesta Tllley nt Che Now York roof garden
noticed that her link cuff buttons were sup
planted by black silk ribbons , three-quarter
of an Inch wide , drawn through the button
holes of the cuffs and gracefully tied In
bow-knot. And generally It Is a long tlm
before such a pronounced departure fror
accepted good dressing finds a foothold I
Omaha , owing to the comment It Is apt t
cause. But the Present Young Woman don'
care much for the comment of the vulga
world , so Friday afternoon she went forth I
a white duck skirt , shirt waist , white vei
and sailor hat and black ribbon cuff-button :
attracting the admiring attention of the ol :
pprvant few who wished that they had ha
the nerve to be first to don the latest fa
of London's swell joung men.

The music of Hleharil Wagner Is becoming
more nnd more popular even though In-
ellcctual nnd art centers dennnd examples
t the Italian nnd Trench composers nml
ather pour cold water upon the great toil"
ramns of the Shakespeare of music. Dr.
Inotens , seeing the gradual drift to higher
orins of art. very wisely discusses this week
Vagner's Immortal creation , "Dlo Melster-
Inger , " In a manner entirely within the
omprchenslon of the laity ,
"Din MEISTERSINGER. "
There ore two ways of looking at "Die
lolsterslnger " It can bo weighted with n
> mbollcal. and even autobiographic charnc-
er , ns the extreme admirers of Wagner
votild have It , or It can be taken ns an ex-
mple of ptiro comedy , with no gt cater slg-
ilflcancc than that which lies on the surface
t Us lines and Its action.
The theory Is that the purpose of the
ipera Is to cclebrnto the triumph of the
intural poetic Impulse , stimulated by com
munion \\lth nature , over pedantic formulas
.nil . In this Interpretation Walthcr von
StolHng tie youthful hero ) becomes a pro-
otype of Wagner himself , Ueckmes'er , of
Vagner's opponents , nnd Hans Sachs , of cn-
IghtcneJ public opinion , which neither
despises rules nor Is ridden by them. Eng-
Ish and French critics have spoken of the
want of humor In the work. Objections of
his kind arc nothing more than publications
of the Imperfect Ideal of comedy held b >
those writers. The book of "Die Mclster-
slnger" is not tilled with the Ingenious verbal
ilajs and Innuendoes In which the French
delight , nor the broad farcical conceits to
which some would restrict comedy on the
English stage. Yet there Is fun enough In
t to keep one's sides telixed , if
ono will but look In the right dlrec-
lon for It. In Its delineation of
character It Is Shakespearean , and although
ts tun is a little brutal ( as becomes the
icoplo and period with which the play deals )
t is not at all malicious , and is always
norally healthy. It deals with the manner :
ind follies and vices of the masses. It alms
irlimirlly to amuse , and only ultimately tc
chastise. Doth ends arc admirably accom
plished in this play , even though the bpeclal
Meaning be denied It. As a picture of the
social life of a quaint Ucrman city three
centuries ago , its vividness and truthfulness
arc be > end all praise , It Is worthy to stand
leslJo the best dramas of the world , and has
10 equal In operatic literature. The food
'or its satire , too , is most admirably chosen ,
'or no feature of the social life of that period
and place la more amiably absurd than the
efforts of the handicraftsmen and trades people
ple with their prosaic surroundings to keei :
alive , by dint of pedantic formulae , the spirit
of minstrelsy which had a natural stimulus
In the chlvalrlc life of the troubadours anil
minnesingers
In his delineation of the pompous doings
of the inasterslngers , Wagner Is true to the
letter. The plot is simple In the extreme
hut every one of Its Incidents Is n nhotogrnpr.
of a bit of old Nuremburg folk life. Veil
Pogner , a rich silversmith , desiring to honoi
: lie craft of the mastersingers , to whose guilt
tie belongs , offers his daughter Eva In mar
riage to the successful competitor at the an
nual meeting of the mastersingers on the
Feast of St. John. Eva Is In love ( she de
clares it In the Impetuous imnner peculiar tc
Wagner's heroines ) with Waltheron Stol-
zing , a young Franconlan knight , and tin
knight with her After a pantomime Ir
church , during the Interludes of the chorale
ho meets her before she leaves the bulldini
and learns that the maiden is Indeed be
tiothed , but to the unknown victor of thi
morrow. Walther resolves to1 enter the guilt
so as to be qualified for the competition. Tin
trial of candidates takes place In the churcl
in the afterncon , and Walther , know Ing noth
Ing of the rules of the mastersingers , falls
though the cobbler poet , Hans Sachs , recog-
ntes evidence of natural genius | n tn (
youth's song , and espouses his cause , a !
against Beckmesser , the town clerk , whi
alms at acquiring Pogner's fortune by wlnnlnf
his daughter. The young couple. In despali
at Walther's failure , are about to elope wher
they are prevented by the arrival on tin
scene ot Beckmesser. It Is night and hi
( Beckmesser ) wishes to serenade Eva , Sachi
sits cobbling at his bench , while Eva's nurse
Magdalen , disguised , sits at the window ti
hear the serenade. Sachs Interrupts thi
clown by lustily shouting a song , bu
finally agrees to listen to Beckmessei
on condition that hos bo permltte'
to mirk the erorrs of composition by strlklnj
his lapstone. The humorous consequence
can be Imagined. Beckmesaer becomes en
raged at Sachs , sings more and more false ! :
until Sachs Is occupied In beating a verltabli
tattoo on his lapstone. To add to Beck
messer's discomfiture , David , an apprentice o
Sachs , and Magdalen's sweetheart , thluklni
the serenade Intended for his love , begins ti
belabor the singer with a club Neighbor
unite and Join in the brawl , which Is flnall ;
Interrupted by the horn of the night watch
man The music of this scene is crondei
with comical effects , which , unfortunately , ar <
not so obvious that the musically Illlterati
are sure to perceive them , such as the tu
ning of Beckmcsser's lute , the ttrange liar
niony created by the sound of the watchman'
horn , etc.
The dignity and vigor of Wagner's poetlca
fancy are attested by the marvelous close o
the act. The tremendous hubbub of th
street brawl Is at Its height and the buslnes
of the act Is at an end. The coming of th
watchman , who has evidently been arousei
by the noise , is foretold by his horn. Th <
crowd is seized with a panic. All dlsappea
behind doors , which are quickly barrel Th
sleepy watchman stares about In amazemenl
rubs hla cjes , sings the monotonous chan
which publishes the hour of the night , con
tlnues on hla rounds , and the moon shine
on a quiet Nuremberg street as the curtal :
falls.
In the third act Walthor and Kva hav
come to Sachs for advice Walther sings
recital of a dream and Sachs , struck by It
beauty , transcribes it , punctuating the pause
with bits of comment and advice. Beck
messer , entering Sachs' shop during his at
sence. finds the soug , concludes that it Is b
Sacas and appropriates It. Sachs , dlscovci
ing the theft , presents the song to Beck
mosser. who , securing a promise from Sach
not to betray him , makes up his mind t
alng It at the competition. The St John'
frstlval is celebrated In a meadow on th
river bank , nnd begins by a gathering of a !
the Nuremberg guilds , each division In th
procession entering to a characteristic chorus
a real masterpiece , whether viewed as spec
tacle , poetry or music The competition be
gins and Deckmesser makes a monstrouvl
stupid parody of Walther's dream song. H
Is hooted at and ridiculed , and , becom ns on
rcged , charges the authorship of the song o
Sachs , who coolly retorts that It Is a goc
song when correctly sung He calls on Wa !
ther to sing It. The knight complies , tli
master singers are delighted and Pogner re
wards the singer with Eva's hand.
It la becoming more and more a habit c
the extremists among the adm'rers of Rlchar
Wagner In Germany to look upon "Die Mel :
terslnger von Numbers" as one of th
brightest achievements of his genius Dlffei
Ing between his power of melodic Inventlo
and his power of execution , they find th :
while the former may have reached Its clima
In "Lohengrin" and the latter In "Siegfried ,
the happiest union of both was cffffrd 1
"Die Melsterslnger " It la nevertheless I
be feared that great stumbling blocks lie I
the way of "Die Melsterslnger" becomlri
really popular with the native American eli
ment of our population. Genuine apprecli
tlon of Its excellence Is conditioned on
keener sympathy than Is likely to be A >
veloped here with tb.e characters and Ino
dents exhibited ( for which America has m
yet a parallel In Its history ) , nnd a belli
knowledge of music than la prevalent amor
our people at the present time. Much of tl
music of the opera that has been heard he
In concert rooms Is honestly admired , but tl
music which accompanies the dialogue
written In strict conformity with Wagner
most advanced system , and In the opinion
rthe majority of the people who hear It ( ai
who are not familiar with tba multitude
typical phrnjfg out ot which the continual
nrr.liuatnil part la constructed ) this music will
be considered monotonous and w cirylng lit-

AMUSEMENTS.
Frank Lee Short , who has risen steadily
In the dramatic profession , and who last
year made a wputatlon for himself with
the Lyceum company , New York , whllo a
pupil with Mr. Henry Sargeant , will go out
this year In a new venture , and will play
Important roles with Courteney Thorpe , who
was , for a numb'r of jears , tbe lending man
In Iloslna Yokes' comedy company. Mr
Short Is joung , but has the stuff la him to
make a first rate actor. Mr. Short , Just
for a lark , proposes to give In Omaha W.
S. Gilbert's "Broken Hearts" as an out oi
door entertainment for * the benefit of tbc
Woman's club , and already the cast 1s se
lected and the first act letter perfect. A num
ber of places for ths out of door entertain
ment have been suggested , the lawn of the
Crary homestead , the grounds of the Omaha
Tennis club on Harnsy street and the- Woolworth -
worth lawn.
"Broken Hearts" was first plajed In 1875 ,
under tbe direction of Manager Hare u-
London , with Mr. and Mrs. KenJal In ihf
leading roles. Mr. Short has in his pos
session the prompt book mada by Eugenf
Presbrey , who Is stage dliector lor A. M
Palmer's attractions , and who put on
Trilby. " and this book will be used In the
forthcoming production , which promises to bo
very Interesting , for the best amateur talent
in the city has been enlisted for the per
formance. The play Is In three acts , with
one set and six characters , cast for the
Omaha production , as follows : Prince riorlan
of Spain , Herbert Ccok ; Mousta , a deformed
dwarf , Frank Leo Short : Lady-Hilda , Mrs. J.
H. Wheeler ; Lady Vavlor , Mlbs Alice Drake ;
Lady Meluslnc , Miss Madeline Chapman ; Lady
Amanthls , a email part to be filled. The
set contemplates a tropical landscape with a
running stream. left , and on old disused sun
dial to the right of the stage picture , sug
gestive of the scene In "Captain Lelterblalr , "
In which E. H. Sothern made one ot the
pronounced successes of his dramatic career.
Mr. Short Is enthusiastic over the progress
of rehearsals and ssys that the people cast
arc In for conscientious work which he be
lieves will astonish as well as please the
audience
Talking to Mr Short of his year in New
York , he said , "I believe no one will dispute
my assertion that the Lyceum theater and Ita
stock company ranks first in the United
States. Until very recently there were sev
eral companies in New York about on a par
with the Lyceum Stock. There are decided
changes In Mr. Augustln Daly's company
which necessarily weaken the ensemble. A.
M. Palmer has no longer a regular stock
company and the Empire Stock company ,
while It is well balanced and has been suc
cessful , lacks the cohealvcness which comes
with age. This leaves the Lyceum company
without a rival.
"Mr. Daniel Frohman , the manager of this
association of reputable actors and actresses ,
Is too well known to need personal descrip
tion , and hia great popularity does not re
quire any fulsome endorsement. An example
of the loyalty his company bear him U
shown In the fact that there Is little or nc
discipline required of the members. Thej
are thrown entirely upon their own honor ,
but being1 ladles and gentlemen the most ex
acting discipline Imaginable could not ac
complish greater results.
"I can think of nothing more appropriate
with which to compare the Lyceum than an
art studio , and that It Is In every sense. The
stage during the day becomes a workshop
where the artists assemble and under one ol
the greatest masters ot stage art In th <
world , Mr. Fred Williams , work on the picture -
turo then In preparation Each has but om
figure In the picture for which he U direct ! )
responsible , but as the effect of the color o :
each depends upon his neighbor the genera
effect Is universally perfect. At night tin
theater becomes an exhibit hall wherein thi
perfected work Is exhibited , shown to an ap
preciatlve and discriminating public. "
American plays wM bo more numerous li

than they were last year. This will be dui
mainly to the fact that the foreign dramat
