The week which has Just drawn to a
clofto was a brilliant one and v/as character *
Ized by many elegant functions. The most
notable uas the Kountzt-Hurns weildlng ,
which brought to the city a number of out
tit town -visitor ; ) .
Another Important event was the lunch-
con given by Miss Nash to announca her en
gagement to Mr. L. F. Crofoot , who Is ono
of Omaha's promising young attorneys.
UcslJes these there wcro luncheons , din
ner parties , card parties , several danccn and
many other entertainments , several of which
wcro given for Miss Burns and Mr ,
Kountzc.
-Rather an amusing Incident occurred ono
day last neck , when two women living In
the tumo part of the city and qulto near
each other were to entertain , but on suc
cessive days.
The waller as ho went up the street nc-
tlccJ a load of chairs In front of the
larger house and naturally directed his steps
thither. He walked Into the kitchen and
proceeded to make himself nt home. How
ever , he looked somewhat surprised at the
throe uncooked turkeys In the pan and the
Vnany other preparations that wcro going on ,
It was flfoitit this time that the woman
of the house mnclo her appearance , and
vlien the asked him If he had come to tune
the piano he left qulto unceremoniously.
Washington society Is enjoying a fad that
has spread rapidly nnd has taken a firm
hold. It Is regarded 'now as the proper
thing for a man to attend afternoon teas
> and other like functions dressed In ordinary
rough-and-ready business clothes or even In
an outing suit. During the ontlro social
season men Imvo been noticed making aft
ernoon calls dressed In sack suits and col
ored shirts , and , whllo at first they were
looked upon as being from the country , they
nro regarded now as the early disciples of
n now cult. On last Thursday , at the houra
of a western senator , celebrated for his
wealth and lavish hospitality , the young man
employed as the mentor of the senator's
wlfo In social matters was here , thcro and
everywhere In the great parlors with his
ulcyclo "trousers guards" still attached to
hla ankles and his feet encased In russet
"shoes. Two guests ; from a western city
'la leaving the house commented on the
young man's appearance , nnd ono of them
criticised hla apparent lack of good breed
ing. Ills friend explained , however , that
this young man w&s employed by the sen
ator's wife at a high salary to manage so
cial affairs In her household as they should
bo managed , and that ho was present In
his bicycle clothes for the very purpose
of advertising the fact that the tea or re
ception or whatever the hostess' guests might
chooro to call her regular Thursday at home
was Intended to bo an entirely unconven
tional affair according to the new code ot
etiquette , and she hoped this would be un
derstood by a glance at the social dicta
tor's appearance ! and behavior .without the
necessity of advertising It.
A leap year dance was given by the
women of a popular cycle club the other
night. Men were escorted to the hall by
the fair ones and shown all the considerate
attention bestowed on the opposite pox. A
novelty at the dance was the program bearIng -
Ing the legend , "This Is the year for good"
the remainder of the sentence balng com
pleted by a hint convoyed In a small bundle
of matches attached to the card by the club
colors. Another feature was the sot ot ruls
posted everywhere ) In order to remind those
present of the necessity of a strict adher
ence to the Inverted privileges of the year ,
of which the following formed a part :
"Ladylike deportment Is requested ot the
gentlemen. "
"Only upon Invitation of a lady can liquid
refreshments bo obtained 'by the gentlemen. "
"Engagements will always ba kept
promptly by the ladles. "
"Special consdcratlon paid to wall flowers. "
"Ladles will not leave their partners stand
ing In the center of the hall , as It Is ex
tremely awkward. "
"A dignified modesty being expected , a
gentleman will not Invite a lady to dance. "

altos , descending , brings an audience to a wild
pitch of enthusiasm which reaches its climax
when the soprano solo obligate is heard
ringing out above the chorus and organ , on a
"high C. "
The gentler passages of the "Stabat Mater
Dolorosa" chorus will show the possibilities
of phrasing and diminuendo , and the subllmo
"Ela Mater Fens Amorls" chorus with Its

The "Gloria In Excelslo" from Mozart's.
Twelfth mass , will be the opening number
