SOCIETY HAS A QUIET WEEK

People.
Adds from s few announcements of minor
onsequsnce, the social calendar for the
reek la a blank, but considering- the sea
son this fact does not necessarily Indicate
that there will be nothing to record by
the end of the week, for society has gotten
Into a way of doing things very uncere
moniously of late, a telephone Invitation
and a few hours notice being all that Is
neeesssry to gather the material for Infor
mal affairs, surprisingly like the evening
tea. or chafing dish supper, and many
other things so common until within the
last month. ,
Again sweet chsrlty Is figuring ss a
medium for the amusement of a certain set
of fsshlonable women, but the pleasure Is
alloyed with such a truly wholesome lesson
In moderation that It Is most commendable
specially as a Lenten device. A "Poverty
Luncheon" It Is called, a name somewhat
Inconsistent with It results, but mora In
keeping with the menu. The lunch club
Is limited to eight members who meet aach
week at the borne of eoma ona of the num.
ber. each woman paying 60 centa, which
goes to a fund to bo used In the support
of the Creche. The hostess furnishes the
lunch, .which, by constitutional require
ment, must come within the cost of $4, or
60 cents a plate. Of course there Is no
little rivslry smong the members to outdo
each other In their menu and still not ex
ceed the limit, and the discipline In do
mestlo economy Is most interesting, even
to the members of this fortunate circle,
At the close of each luncheon the hostess
reads her expense account, which is care
fully Itemised, even to an estimate of the
flour and salt she has used. In proof that
she has complied with the rules. Of course
these luncheons are the Jolllest kind of
affairs, informal to the extent of flagrant
violation of table etiquette in the gratifi
cation of the most pointed questions and
speculation regarding cost, adulteration and
like matters.

AT THIRD LENTEN MUSICALE
Mrs. James Iawreaes Blair at St.
'Loals Delights Large Aodlence
of Omaha People.
The third musicals of the Lenten series
was given yesterday morning at the Lin
lnger Art gallery and as usual the audlenoe
was all that could be desired.
The attraction on this occasion was ths
singing of Mrs. Jamea Lawrence Blair of
St. Louis, who created a splendid impres
sion by her superb voice, her charming
manner of expression and Interpretation
and her delineation of excellent schooling.
It would be difficult to say what particular
realm of voice Mrs. Blair's organ belongs
to. It la mezzo-soprano and mezzo-contralto,
while at times It Is soprano In tim
bre, and at others contralto, purs and sim
ple. It Is a vole which surpasses defini
tion and therein she Is to be congratulated.
She uses It well snd does not overdo. St.
Louis Is fortunate In having a woman like
Mra. Blair, who is prominent in all social
affairs, snd yet has such an artistic and
genuine personality.
Mr. Hlggtns played some Violin solos and
was well received. Mr. Hlgglns slways
plays well. He Is a close student snd his
work Is growing. A somewhat noticeable
hiatus occurred In the first number, which
bad It been absent, would bavs shown more
balance between soloist and accompanist.
The accompaniments for Mrs. Blair were
played artistically by Mlsa Caroline Sheets,
and Mrs. Hlgglns played tor her husband.
The next musicals will be In ths capable
hands of Miss Ella Ethel Free.
Mrs. R. H. Davles Is showing a very
complete line of swell millinery. After
spending the entire month In New York
city she Is better equipped than ever be
fore, and every lady In the city knows ber
reputation for fine, exclusive atyles, and
every lady also knows that nice, fine, clean
stock of millinery la sold cheaper In this
store than any place in the city, barring
the store that buy Jobs and claim they aell
so cheap. ' Call and bs convinced.
