SOCIETY TAKES ON NEW LIFE M .mVr3 of local Swelldom Get Into the Gay Whirl , ANOTHER FAIR YOUNG DUD BROUGHT OUT ! > / of XovcinliPP Ilrlnic K ii > inrnt lo Th M > Who Minnie In ( InHoiinil of Mo dal 1'IiMinurc. During the lait Raven days Omaha ioclcty 4oa moved on apace , and the closing Jay * of November sees the gay whirl of local Bivclldom far advanced In lt fascinating progress. The event that Is fairly entitled to Uio prtmlor position In the society annals of the week , both on account of. Its brilliancy nnd because of the high position of the prin cipal character concerned , was the formal debut of Miss Anna Slilvcrlck Into Omaha eoclety. Tlioso who have danced attendance before the shrine of Dame Society Imvo availed with Joyful anticipation this event , and have now had genuine pleasure In wel coming this fair young bud to their midst. "Without any Intentional IrroveroncJ to the Koddcss who Is supposed t'o preside over thu peculiar destinies of local society It may be u Id that she has uortalnly played n strong Jiand Uuis far this season and surely has held up to her followers a pair of bright now queens. , The return of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Gulotl from their honeymoon has been appropriately followed by a number of dinner parties , .luncheons and other events In their honor. Other dinner parties In honor of visitors among the upper families have also taken lilaco with a little more than usual frequency. The week of Thanksgiving has boeii the anoans of bringing a number of members of Omaha families who spend their tlmu be yond the city's walls around the family board. The foot ball games unfortunately fell on a disagreeable afternoon , but wcro attended by a goodly number of Omaha society folk armed with flags , chrsanthcmums and mega phones. Cupid Is reported to have worked overtime during the last fcovcn days , and thcro arc many different kinds of rumors oi engagements that are soon to bo announced flitting hither nnd thither. While thcro have not been many evidences of the little fellow's handiwork shown hero during the week thcro Jiavo been a , few. and in the early part of tho. week ho took a short dash down to a couthcrn city and captured a charming young ( woman for an Omaha man. The coming week presages a brilliant tlmo lor those who delight to mingle with so ciety's devotees. The most auspicious event scheduled for the week Is the second meeting of tbo recently formed Cotillon club , which . will assemble on Thursday evening at the npaclous home of < Mlsa Wonlworth. Mr. and airs. W. V. Morse are to give n swell dancing party for a visiting friend of their daughter , and enough luncheons , teas and dinner par ties are on the tapis to keep the llorlsts busy arranging table and other decoratlona. The debut of the third Omaha buil Is announced lor the following week , when Mr. and Mrs. 33uclld Martin will entertain In lionor of the formal presentation of their daughter ( o so clety. The first fall of no\v has brought along thoughts of outdoor pleasures for the winter months. It has grown quite too cold during the last few days for the Riding club to enjoy .fits customary rides , but even the chilling Iblnsts that swept across the Happy Hollow Jinks yesterday could not prevent the fair young devotees of golf from playing once around. This fact merely goes to show what a firm hold the royal game has taken on Us followers In this city , and demonstrates that thcro Is something of the true love for ama teur sport among those who are more often seen In the mazes of the dance or pouring tea at an afternoon function. The fall In the ( temperature yesterday made sufficient Ice on the exposition grounds to a ( lord splendid ekatlng and qulto a number of young folks took advantage of the opportunity to glide across the smooth surface for the fl.'ut time this year. If today Is as fair as was yester day It Is probable that the exposition grounds will bo moro numerously visited than on any previous day this year. The Ice carnival Is coming along and the attractions of toboggan riding , skating , curl ing and other winter sports will undoubtedly draw many moro visitors to the grounds that will become famous next year. The ivotlng contest for the honor of queen of the carnival hag progressed with much lively competition and It Is a noteworthy fact that several hundred votes have coma In from distant points for the society young woman who now enjoys a comfortable lead In the iroce. Whllo the contest Is not over , It Is conceded that the lead Miss Dickinson has will bo 'difficult to overcome. With this position settled , the only remaining question to bo settled Is the personnel of the queen's suite. The young women of the court v/11 lie the first twenty-ono in the Hat on the lasi day of the content. In onler that tlio queen may have a representative assemblage at her 'beck ' and call thcro la notlceablo n eplrltcd cftort to boom certain young women with the idea of placing them among the first Iwenty- ouo of the elected. rinrk-Ilimt.

Ono of the most enjoyable musical events In the recent history of this city occurred last evening at the First Congregational church under the auspices of the Dcrthlck club. It consisted of n piano recital by William H. Sherwood. Much Interest nnd expectation had been aroused concerning Mr. Shcnvood'6 appearance hero nnd a large and representative audience was present to greet him. Many of the leading local musicians and pianists were on hand to listen , learn , enjoy or criticize as the panorama of compositions was unfolded. Thn npplauso was cordial , genuine nnd enthusi astic , the attention all that could bo do- slrcd. At times the house was so quiet and the silence so profound that It was almost op pressive. Such attention Is a higher compli ment than applause. A feature of tno performance the brief explanations which Mr. Sherwood gave of the numbers ho was about to play. They inado plain his point of view In the Interpretation and opened the door to the listener to an un derstanding of the music to follow. The first number on the program was Men delssohn's "Variations Serlcuses. " a not overly Interesting composition , full of Intrica cies and dlfllcultlcs that hardly repay one for mastering them. In the Bach "Bourree * the themes were given out with crystalline purity nnd the counterpoint draped about them as If to make their beauty all the moro tempting by a par tial concealment. The Wober-Llszt "Polonaise Brllllantc" was originally Intended for performance with , orchestra. At 4 o'clock , four hours be fore the recital began , Mr. Sherwood e.it down to the piano to arrange It In his mind as a piano solo , and to weave Into one com plete whole the orchestral and solo parts. This he did without seeing a note of music and played It with a confidence and accu racy astonishing to thceo who realized the herculean task attempted. Mr. Sherwood Is Justly ranked , not only as a great pianist , but as a great musician. In the "Polonaise Brllllanto" ho demonstrated the triumph of the musician who can cause his Instrument to scatter sparkling jewels over the tcndcrcat love-song , melting late ono the brilliancy of youthful Joy and tbo mystery of budding affection. In the "Ma zurka" and "Berceuse , " by Chopin , delicacy of touch , wonderful precision In proportion ing melodies to their accompaniment , and a gentle rythmlc abandon , were characteristic. Two of Mr. Sherwood's own compositions a "Gipsy Dance" and "Coy Maldca" proved to bo Interesting tone pictures. In response to a prediction In last Sun day's Bee , Mr. Sherwood added to his pro gram the Liszt transcription of "IsolJen's Llebes Tod" from Tristan nnd Isolda , by Wagner. There are a few pianists who can Infuse enough warmth of tone-color Into their playing to make them able to give anything like a complete Interpretation of the- glorious effect of the orchestra in selec tions from the Wagner music-dramas. Mr. Sherwood is ono of these , and his rendering of the Tristan number was a revelation of what a pianist can do. The recital ended with a heroic rendering of the Schulert-Tanslg "Military March. " Mr. Sherwood has often proven himself n great pianist. Ho Is an American by birth nnd Is ono of the foremost in upholding Americanism to music. Ho was an ardent champion of Omaha's cause In Now York last June and Is greatly Interested In the exposition to bo held here next summer. His reception last evening was such as would Inspire an artist to do his best. Mr. Sherwood's appreciation of it was demon strated when ho consented to add the "Tremolo" by Gottschalk as an encore to his program of fifteen numbers. He has left an impression which will not be readily effaced. Cliaintircliilii'H Coiinh Remedy nil In- I > crlnl I'uvorlte. "Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Is an es pecial favorite in this vicinity , " says A. W. Armstrong , of Morrison , Colo. "I have used it In my family and can truthfully eay there- suit has been more than , satisfactory. My wife will not sleep without a bottle of it In the house , as she believes that to it we owe the llfo of our little girl who Is subject to croup. " Sykcx 1'reTern Hieurtli. .
