BEFORE us on the motley wall,
which might have, given Mr.
. .Frank Alvah Parsons, that
v esthetic, gentleman, particular
fiti, is a posterof the now famous
Amelita Galli-Curci. We fail to see
th.Mona Lisa smile upon her face,
as some have dose, but there is some
. baffling quality which speaks of un-,
knbwn Hardships borns calmly; Which
have changed her face to a mask- to
hide from. the curious world the steps
leading up f6 - her discovery and
miraculous success in Chicago this
winter. The last century, dress which
is her costume,. th last century sjyle
of curls oVer the ear, accentuate the
impression o'; aloofness" which her
likeness gives.. ". . .'
All of tnis goes to show-, that p
, peprances . are . very deceiving, , for we
have it on authority that JIme. Galli
Ciirci has had a very unruffled and
tranquil career as a musician, and is
happily married to an artist of note
' whose paintings are soon to be ex
' hibited in Chicagb.' She is known as
the ; legitimate successor to Adelina
Pa'tti, not only in musical renown,
hirt in ancestry, for they are both
descended from theame' stock, a
mixture of Spanish and Italian blood.
Probably it is this mysterious qiial
'itjf of her face and her sudden rise. to
popularity which is drawing - the
crowds to hear her not only in Oma
ha, where .she, by good fortune, ap
pears before any eastern engagements
begin, but in Chicago, the place of
her debut. Tuesday Morning Musi
cal club members are responsible for tius
great good fortune , to Omaha
music lovers. They will present the
Italian madame-as the last numbet-of
their outside .concert programs for
. this season. Later a program of stu
dent numbers will come to conclude
a year of brilliant and successful con
certs. ' ' . .... .. h- , ;
Weddings of : Interest Impend. -
Two ;wtddings "bf exceeding great
interest "to' you and to' us -will take,
place this week. One is the marriage
of much-feted Miss Harriet Copley,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry
copley, to Mr. Earl Burket, which
will be solemnized Wednesday eve
ning, the other the nuptials of pretty,
iiUsical Miss Jessie Neale, daughter
of' Mr. and Mrs. John G. Neale, to
Mr. Ralph Weirich, which will fol
low the first by one day.
, Jn speaking of weddings our '
thoughts turn to the army wedding
which Will take place probably in the
fall, when Miss Edith Russell of Ann
Arbor, Mich... daughter of the late
IJrof. A. C. Russell,, biologist of note
and Alaskan explorer, and Mrs. Rus
sel, will wed Mr. John Singleton Swit
zcr. son of Mrs, J. Srtiuer of Fort
Crook. The young soldier graduated
last year from Ami Arbor, where he
met his bride-to-be. and is at present
at Fort Leavenworth until the first of
April, when he will go to Browns

Some Are Observing Lent. '.
Theater parties ara conveniently en
livening the mid-Lenten season. Last
Thursday Mi-Careme-- marked the,
middle of this time of fasting and
prayer. In general it has been jitrict
ly observed and one charming bride
even carried her. observance to the:
point of astinence from all pre-nup-tiat
affairs. The visit of Mrs. Perry
Allen of New York to her mother,.
Mrs. William G. Sloan, at the Colon
ial, has been , the occasion for the
most frequent entertaining that any
popular visitor has received for "quite
a spell." Other popular visitors have
served as an excuse for an abandon-
ment of much Lenten, solemnity dur-
ing the last week,
Suffs Get Some Attention.
'The suffragists among us have been
attracting to themselves considerable
attention during the last few days in
spite of revolutions' in Russia and
railroad strikes in mir own fairyland
Their school, together with the lec-
ttire given by. Prof. F. M. Fling on
Friday evening, have been the high
points of last1 week, which naturally
brought dinners and luncheons and
teas in their wake, and this week the
; romicai: tquanty league win give a
card party at the Blackstone on Mon-
day afternoon. Our fertile brain won-

on the occasion. 'One of the suffra-
gists, a well known woman (you may
guess.her name), said, "If the people
come to rror. r ling s lecture tney
will see what really nice persons we
are. Wo are not freaks and frumps 1"
The' delightful parties which have
been given for the visiting lecturers
and the card party at the Blackstone
tomorrow will serve as ample proof
that the ranks of Omaha suffragists
are not to be despised in the social
world. V-''
One funny thing w wish to confide

it comes to our mind. Ignorance may

Society Woman in Business Role.
Osato snapped Mrss E. C Henry
in a rare moment that of her "rcver.
sion to type,", let us call it, for this
charming woman, mistress of all the
social graces, is now too busy sell
ing motor trucks and running a hos

like this. . , .

Henry enjoys it,' especially as the in-
stitution is at the service of the gov-
ernment, if ever the necessity arises.
Mrs, Henry, too, is personally inter-
ested in the nurses, of whom there
are forty-five.vand she resents all at
tacks such as Rev. Savidge made upon
them recently as unjust and unwor
thy, coining from a minister.
But it is the automobile game which
fascinates Mrs.. Henry the most. It's
selling trucks, not just motors, she
glories in. And here is the queer part
of it a woman's business -. point of
view: "I like to sell trucks because
it saves horses "the abuse of heavy
loads. Every time I see a truck heav-
ily laden, I am thankful a horse is
saved from pulling that load,", she
