WE AT HOME have been so entirely
engrossed with the
many claims upon our attention
that we have failed to
realize the fact that the week just
passed has been a busy one indeed; so
much so that some of the. whirring*
scenes of midwinter gayety have been
rivaled. Of course, a strong impetus
has been given by the coming great
Carnival, for the numerous chairmen
have been actively engaged with the
forming of their committees for decorating
the floats. That first feature
now is about determined, and real,
earnest hard work is well under headway.
But there have been other diversions
in abundance, perhaps too many,
some highly toned by the Carnival excitement,
such as the Behrens, the Fall
the Wilcox, the Slayden benefits, with
others of a purely social flavor. Each
day has brought its attractions, and the
week has speed as it were upon pleasure’s
wings. As a directory to what
Artesia has to chronicle this morning
by way of resume, there is for last
MONDAY

There was an ease and finish connected
with the rendition of the Sorcerer
on Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings seldom attained by an anateur
company. Critics, however they
may differ.in other points, agree that
the highest attainment of art is that in
which the whole creates the impression
rather than the individuality of each
part. Thus it was with the Sorcerer.
The cast, the chorus and the orchestra
were shaded into so subtle a harmony
that the entirety carried with it a most
agreeable impression. The audience
which greeted both performances was
large and brilliant, and frequent applause
showed that home talent was
thoroughly appreciated. .That it was
a Floral Society benefit was quite pronouncedinthemany
and elaborate floral
pieces that found their way across the
footlights. In acknowledgment that
she carried the leading role, Mrs.
Kempner’s flowers were something to
be envied. The Sorcerer, like all
other of Gilbert and Sullivan’s compositions
does not deal with an intricacy
of plot. The charm lies solely in
the tuneful music. Therewas no marked
distinction between the star and other
members of the cast. The honors were
quite evenly divided among Mrs.
Kempner, Mr. Will Allen, Mr. Arthur
Baum, Mrs. A. B. Meek, Mrs. J. R.
Ferrell, Mrs. Courtlandt Lawrence,
Mr. Henry Leuders, Mr. E. H. Anderton
and Mr. Tom Barron. Mrs. Kempner’s
two gowns were very much admired,
they being uptodate creations
of organdy, frills and fancies to suit
an out door fete. Mrs. Meek in powdered
pompadour and black satin with
court train made the dignified matron
to perfection. Mr. Baum’s cute little
curtain speech was given with such a
plomb as to divide honors with his
courtly character "of Sir Marmaduke.
Mr. Will Allen as the handsome young
soldier developed the plot in his very
effective scene with the Sorcerer and
Aline, and his intelligent intarpretation
made the use of a libretto superfluous.
The chorus girls in their red
chintz skirts, peasant bodices, white
muslin caps and aprons made quite
dainty little sweethearts for the male
chorus of husbandmen. Every detail
of this creditable opera could be mentioned
in complimentary terms, were
not these details of excellent points too
numerous. Special features were introdueed
and very highly applauded
in the national dance of little May
Maud West and Gussie Griffin: the
Sailor’s Hornpipe, by Karma and Jervis
Deane; the duet by the little Heyens
sisters, and a Gavotte by May
Maud West. In conclusion, too much
cannot be said in praise of the work
done by Mr. Fred Leuders in directing
the rehearsals, of the musical adaptation
of parts by Prof. Parnum, and the
accurate, skillful piano accompaniment
of Mrs M. Guy Hart. The full
orchestra was better than the Grand
has known this season. The proceeds
will reach into the hundreds of dollars,
and will form the first deposit towards
an Auditorium fund.
When one begins to enumerate the
pretty things that might be said concerning
Mrs. Woodson White’s tea on
last Saturday afternoon, the gampt of
beautiful rooms, exquisite flowers and
pretty gowns must be run with a decided
pause over the bon esprit of a
thoroughly affable and attentive house
party. And yet to say this, is not making
too elaborate a setting for the refined,
cultured guest of honor, Mrs.
Gabriel de Jarnette of Dallas. The
fact that this was the first affair of
note for Easter week, is another factor
in making the ensemble an event worthy
an exalted position among the
spring festivities. It seemed that everybody
from matrondom was out,
and that the suite of rooms was planned
just so that everyone was in the
midst of everyone else. Through the
portieres, parted from four successive
doorways, beauty after beauty was
admired until the climax was reached
in the dining room, where great, gorgeous
roseclusters filled mantels and
glass cabinets, and were sent back
manifold from the mirrored pieces. A.
center table was provided with a crystal
punch bowl, from where Mrs. Axtell
served sherbet, offered with a slice
of angel food by a bevy of tea maids,
all in dainty white frocks. This came
as the afterpiece to a sip of Mocha
with a lettuce sandwich in the library,
which, in turn, succeeded a chat in
either of the two parlors with Mrs.
White, Mrs. de Jarnette, or one of the
ladies of the house party. Master
Woodson White received the cards,
while Miss Motz conducted the guests
to the receiving line. The floral effect
was something well worth more than a
passing attention. In the music room
were nothing but woodland pluckings,
and they centered in a table completely
covered with blue bonnets, their green
leaves forming an undermat. There
were also other spring offerings in
abundance, deftly placed in jardiniere
of bowl with most happy effect. In the
dining room the rose was truly queen.
Hundreds were sacrificed to the floral
picture. Assisting Mrs. White, there
were, in the rooms, Mesdames J. G.
Harrison of College Station, John C.
West, W. A. Casseday, W. H. Wood,
Rotan, Adelia Foster, Frank Miller,
W. D. House, Cross, Gallagher and
