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.

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.
