In accordance with old custon in the Zetetic club, we were at home with the president of the club Januarv 2. 1000, in the Masonic hall parlors. At eight o'clock p. m. Eooio seventy invited guests, with club members, arrived. The hall was beautifully lighted and decorated with bittersweet, the club emblem. A punch bowl and glasses were an unusually attractive feature of the evening. Two handsome daughters of tho Zetetic served orange punch dur ing the evening. The address of welcome by the presi dent, Mrs. Charlotte T. Hungate; a duet, "Laddio," sung by Mrs. J. K. Keithley and Miss Stella Sackett; a reading, "How Some Women Conduct Parlia mentary Practice," by Mrs. Nellie Sackett; a solo, "The Blue Welsh Hills," by Mifs Stella Sackett; pronunciation test, conducted by Mrs. E. L. Rouse, for which two captains were selected who chose sides, as in an old-fashioned spelling school. Then all joined in a grand march. This waB very graciously interrupted by six Zetetic daughters bearing small tables spread for a roal banquet. Each club member, seated now at table with her three guests, made a pretty sight indeed. With the pres. dent as toastmaster, the following toasts were responded to: "This Day and Hour," by Mrs. Laura M. Woodford; .'Our Guests," Mrs. Gates; "Our Club," Mr. J. M. Leach; "The Golden Link Be tween the School Girl and the Club Woman,,' Mr. E. L. Rouse. Then the young ladies bore away the tables and some time was spent in social chat. that completely tilled the auditorium of the First Congregational church. The occasion served to iut roduco throe joung artists who have lately come to Omaha: Miss Ella Free, pianist, from Berlin, Mite Beatrice Wilson, Eoprano, from New York, and Miss Lena Ellsworth, violiuist, from Chicago. Miss Free oponed the program with the etude known as tho "Wave Etude" by Lif zt, followed by the difficult Concert Etude of Thalberg, whera sho displayed great technical power. Later in the after noon she played the Polonaise in F sharp of Chopin, a selection which is associated with LiBzt, since it was a favorite of bis as it is also of Moskowski. This polouaise is gloomy in tone color, and it produces a series of unhappy emotions in the listener which tho intro duction of a pastoral siene in mazourka rhjthm does not wholly dissipate. Miss Free's interpretation of the selection was magniticent and as the piece ia one that is rarely heard, her listeners con gratulated themselves upon their oppor tunity. Miss Beatrice Wilson, vocalist of the program has a full and sympathetic mezzo voice, which was heard to good effect in the Bach Gounod "'Ave Maria,' where both organ and piano were used in accompaniment and the usual violin obligato was played by Mies Ellsworth. Miss Wilson's other contributions to the program were Bartlett'a "A Dream" and "A May Morning" by Denza. The violin selections were chopen with modesty but they gave the impression of an artistic performance. Miss Ells worth, who is also a vocalist.and a tea h er in Tabor College, Iowa, is a cbarm'ng player. Her numbers were "Cavitina" and "Serenade' by Spsnce and Gabriel Marie, respectively. After the pro gram a reception was given to the per formers in the parlors, which was at tended by the large audience. Mrs. Ford, leader of the musical department, made the presentations. Mrs. Wyman and Mrs. Bartlett poured coffee and various young ladies of the department served refreshments. tIMMIim0MMMMIMIMMMO iftftitl afcrta artful r Who are interested in the choicest novelties in wash dress goods that this season's market has afforded, are invited to see the exceptional assort ment now on our counters.

It had been decided by the club that in place of the usual current events and parliamentary practice, which occupies part of the time of each general meeting, the lady having that in charge was to prepare such an entertainment as would be attractive to visitors. This week it fell to the lot of Mrs. Letton, and she decided upon a comedietta, eLtitled 'A Bunch of Red Roses." It proved very entertaining. The parts were well taken by eicht club members.
