DULL DAYS FOR THE SOCIAL Early Summer Finds Nothing Doing Among Omaha's Bmart Fol WEDDINGS ALONE BREAK THE MONOTONY Several Elaborately Simple ptial Celebrations Noted Among the Oceurrences in Local Soclety During the Last Week. 12 the week just passed has been remark- able for any thing whatever, it has been for the extraordinary dullness of things, for there has been scarcely enough going on to keep soclety awake. Only the middle of June and not enough of the fashionables lJeft in town to Insure success of any gort of entertalnment, at least this is the explanation of the lull as given by those who ordinarily might be expected to do something at this season of the year. Ot course, there have been the weddings, and of course, In calling the weck dull, they have not been taken Into account at all, for, as every one knows, June weddings are things apart from ajl ordinary happenings and command an inferest beyond affairs of more commonplace nature. And such pretty affairs as they have been too, all home weddings and so simple and unpretentious with thelr decorations of greens and spring flowers and their dainty, airy summer gowns that not a few of the prospec tive October brides have half way regretted their cholce of month, or at least that sweet peas and elderberry blossoms do not bloom in the fall. The dancing party given on Thursday evening by Judge Woolworth in compliment 1o four of the prospective debutantes, was & wholly delightful occasion, being the first reunion of the summer of the young people Just home from school and their enthusiasm and keen enjoyment was refreshing indeed, glving promise of other similar affalrs in tuture.

Immediately after the \ceremony, the young people left for a tour of the lakes before golng to their future in Traverse City. Among the soclal events of the week of especial interest in North Omaha eofr- cles was the wedding of Miss Lilllan Wil- cox, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert S.

Dr. Tin- dall of Trinity Methodist church. Little Miss Mildred Wilcox, a nlece of the bride, as ring-bearer, was her only attendant.

The marriage service was followed by an elaborate wedding breakfast, the crimson and the green used in the decora- tion of the parlore being employed In the dining room. A tall vase of American Beauty roses occupled the center of the round table, which was further trimmed with smart silk sachet rosettes of the same color as the flowers. Festoons of smilax from the chandelier above dropped to the edge of the table and completed the most effective trimming. As a pretty supple- | ment to the occasion was the christening of the Infant son of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Roberts of Chicago, and a grandson of Mr and Mrs. Frederick.

Owing to some uncertalnty in Mrs. Fox's coming and her brief stay in the city, there was no opportunity for a more general enter- talnment. The luncheon was an unpre- tentious but pretty affair and served a double courtesy, as complimentary to Mrs. Fox and the retiring president of the Omaba Woman's club, Mrs. W, W.

Con- cerning the plan of reorganization of the Federation, as so widely advocated in many of the eastern s Mrs. Fox used her own state federation, Michigan, as an illustration of the possibility of the state federations being unable to support the General Federation If the responsibil- ity rested entirely upon them, and while she did pot oppose reorganization she evi- dently values the support that the general organization recelves from the individual clubs and is not altogether confident of the wisdom of the proposed plan of eliminating them.

Mise Edith Martin _and Mise Julla Waterson entertained a party of young friends very pleasantly on Wednesday at the home of the former on North Twenty- second street.

In celebration of the twenty-fitth anni- versary of their coming to Omaha, Rev. and Mrs. John Willlams will hold an Informal reception from 8 until 11 o'clock on Tues- day evening. They will be assisted by Woman’s Work in Club and Charity years ago, when Mrs. Ella W. Peattie re- signed the presidency after the first open meeting in the fall to go to Chicago, prom- ises to greatly facilitate matters in the present emergency, and it s probable that that precedent will be followed in this case. According to article vill of the by- laws: ‘““Vacancies in office shall be filled by persons appointed by the executive com- mittee to werve until the next annual meet- ing” It is not probable, however, that the executive committee will care to as- sume this responsibility, and there will likely be an election by the club. While there has been no formal conference re- garding the probable plan, the majority of the club women evidently prefer this method, and that they are pretty generally united in their cholce of Mrs. Keysor's successor is also evident. The only thing that seems to stand in the way is the fact that the woman of their cholce decidedly declined a nomination for that office in the spring. This woman is Mrs. J. H. Dumont, and it is probable that the club’s member- ship does not boast one more generally popular capable of filling the office of presi- dent than she. As past vice president her ability as a presiding officer has frequently been displayed, while her efficient work as & committee woman has gained for her the confidence of not only the club women, but of the citizens as well, which is most valu- able to an organization that represents in a community what the Omaha Woman's club does. The commencement exercises of St. Fran- ces' academy at Twenty-seventh and St Mary's avenue were held on Friday morn- ing, & program of especial excellence being given.

They fit when others fall. If you have been paying $6.00 and $6.00 for your footwear, after wearing one pair of Borosis at 33.50 always you will stop and ponder over what good came of that extra 3150 and $2.50 which you used to pay. It went to make the high priced shoe dealer richer, because you had no better value, no better style, no better fit, than you now get in Sorosis for $.50.
