e R i e i S ——— SOCIETY DIVIDES 0% A WORD | - - ; 41 . Woman’'s Work in Qonfusion Arises Over Application of the Designation of Debutante. INSISTS ON PRESENT SET ITS RIGHTS Three Separate and Distinet Cookling Clubs Which Expeot to Solve the De ate Points Involved in the Dispute. Probably no term is heard more fre. quently in society just at present and cer- talnly none that is more confusing than the word “debutantes.”” Of course every- body knows what it means, but there seems to be but comparatively few who know just who 1t means, and here the trouble begins —but who shall say where it is to end? As & matter of fact It 1s always a bit con- fusing to remember just where to apply that term during the early part of every season, but some seasons it is so much worse than others that even those who pride themselves upon thelr ability to meot emergencies have to own that more misunderstanding, embarrassment and even awkwardness has resulted from a misapplication of this word than from any other source. less than a dozen girls in soclety are, strictly speaking, entitled to that title just at present, but this fact, instead of simplying, has only complicated | matters for last season, less than half that number were Introduce mever left off applying the term ‘“debu- tantes” to the bevy of young women who came cut the season before. In addition | to these there are the girls who, with the brides of the past two seasons, were buds not long ago, but who have fallen in with the younger set because of that little ex- clusiveness that young married people will assume. To begin with, As a result of all this society has come to be divided up into a dozen or more lit- tle “sets” that, in spite of themselves, will mix up until there is really little distinc- tion save in name. There are at present three cooking clubs. First there Cooking club. Its members are almost all married now, and though there are those in soclety who say there was an organiza- tion of this name previous to this one, it 1s disbanded now, and these young matrons hold undisputed possession of that title. Then there is the Junfor Cooking club, whose members, until this fall, were known as the “debutantes,” but recently the young women really entitled to this name have effected an organization and styled themselves the Debutantes’ Cooking club, which promises to be the nearest so- lution to the difficulty of anything that has yet happened, for they have announced their Initial meeting for New Year's day, when they will keep open house during the afternoon. to insure them undisputed and exclusive possesston of thelr dues, for, of ocourse. their reception will be one of the features of the day, and If, after accepting their hospitality, there is a man in soclety who ever forgets again who the debutantes are, ho deserves to suffer the conse- quences. Dear Jack: Owing to your absence from the city last week I presume you did not read the letter from Karolyne in The Sun- day Bee, in which she complains of the duality of mankind. She presented rather a seathing arralgn- ment of our sex because of the manners assumed (I say assumed, for from her point of view it must be s0,” when in soclety and the manmer In which we conduct our- selves when following the dally routine of our strenuous life. Perhaps Karolyne will admit that when we are in soclety we are, for the time being, free from the cares and worries of business and have nothing to think of except to make ourselves as agreeable as we may be able to our lovely sisters. The next day, when we are at our offices with many arduous duties con- fronting us which require mental labor and effort, we have (except in cases whero tender feelings may exist) excluded from our minds the same lovely sisters ‘who so pleasantly entertained us the evening pre- vious. In the rush of the world these days, with our minds occupled with our professions or business, and dollars and cents, we apt to make some blunders of the sort she complains of, which may be construed as being willtul, but are as a matter of fact done altogether unconsclously. Karolyne sald a man who, with his wite, had entertained her at dinner the evening before bumped into her she was coming out of The Bee building and never seemed to realize that an apology would be in order. Now, ck, I'll wager the cigars that man didn't know whether it was a woman or the doorpost he bumped into, and fn all probability he didn't know he had bumped into anything at all. The chances are, at that very moment he was engrossed with some deal he had on whereby he could make the price of a new sealskin for his wife or daughter in soclety, ‘Why, only the other evening I was walk. ing leisurely up the street looking at the Christmas goods in the shop windows and ran right square into a woman standing on the sidewalk. For Karolyne's sake, I am glad to say I had presence of mind enough to apologize, but had it been during the rush of the day I dare say I should not have known whether she was a woman or & lamp post. I will add, aleo, that she ald not accept my apology very graclously. She took a banle teller to task, too, be- cause he unconsciously let a sterm door swing back in her face as she was enter- ing. Now, it a paying teller s lucky enough to get outside of that same storm door during business hours, it must have been that he was returning from a lunch that he may have had fifteen minutes to eat, or possibly thirty minutes it it were not & very busy day, and his mind was intent upon resuming his duties for the balance of the day. If you want to smoke more elgars, I'll wager he didn't know d and so soclety has | is the ! ‘This bit of diplomacy ought | — In & recent letter to the Massachuseits sthe famlilies together.

More than ordi- nary interest fa being taken in this plan and Mrs. Lelghton has already received many responses of a substantial character. In-an address before the Massachusetts Daughters of the American Revolution, dur- ing her recent visit to Boston, Mrs. Fair- banks, president general of the Natlonal organization, dwelt particularly upon the building of the new Continental hall in Washington, D. C., the site for which has been purchased at Seventeenth and D streets, at a cost of $50,000. The hall will cost about $300,000. It is to be bullt en- tirely by voluntary contribution and—this point Mrs, Fairbanks especielly empha- sized—is to be dedicated not only to the men who fought the battles of the revolu- tion, but to the women who stayed at home, sowing and reaping the crops and keeping | the voters of that state. The members of the Woman's club are desirous that the lecture by H. D. Perkey, scheduled under their auspices for January 29, be not underestimated, because it has been announced as free. As a matter of fact the women consider this lecture by Mr. Perkey one of the finest things that they have ever been privileged to offer the public and are not a little gratified that he has consented to come to Omaha. His subject has been announced as ‘‘Domestic Science,” but might more accurately be stated the “Sclence of Nutrition.” .Mr. Perkey, as founder of Oread institute, is a recognized authority on the subject of pure foods and In view of the effort to be made in Nebraska this winter for a more adequate pure food 1w the club considers his lecture espectally profitable.

The regular private recital oc- cupled last Wednesday morning's session, a most interesting program belng presented. There will be a general suspension of club meetings until after the holidays, nearly all of the women's organizations having ad- journed last week to meet on their first regular meeting day after the first of the year. The members of Mu Sigma club were en- tertained on Wednesday at the home of Mrs. Rohrbaugh, and she will again entertain the club on December 31. After the first of the year women will meet at the home of Mrs. J. F. Richardson. Within the last month the distinction of having the “only woman bank president in the United States” has been given to Ohio and Colorado, but as a matter of fact there are a number of women filling such positions. Nebraska hae one in Mrs. Hester Welpton, who is the president of the Ex- change bank of Ogalalla, Neb., and in ad- dition to her ability as a business woman she s among the most cultured women of Ogalalla.

PERFECTING PLAN FOR OPERATIONS Renources of State W 1 Be Liberally Advertised and Commissions on Sales of Land Resulting Will Be Divided, The immigration committee of the Ne- braska Real Estate Dealers’ association was in sesslon yesterday at the Commercial club rooms for the purpose of adopting a plan for attracting Immigration to Nevraska. The committee met at 9:30 o'clock with the following members present: B. A. Benson, A. P. Tukey, George H. Payne, D. V, Sholes, G. G. Wallace and J. B. Carmichael of Omaha, Willis Cadwell of Broken Bow, W. H. Sampson of Grand Island, A. L. Kruse of West Point, E. H. Tracy of Norfolk, Lem Tibbetts nt Hastings, J. F.

Cowgill of Holdrege and John Francis of the Burlington raflroad, who on this occaslon represented all of the railroads in the Nebraska territory. The committee, after a general discus. sion of the conditions, appointed a sub- committee to draft a plan of organization, this plan to provide for the division of commissions on sales made as the result of the advertising done by the association, The subcommittee at 11:30 reported that it had under consideration a plan which would be effective, but could not report fully until 2 o'clock. The committee then ad- journed until 1:30. At the afternoon session the subcom- mittee submitted an exhaustive report to the effect that there should be formed in each county if possible, or in a district to be composed of several counties, an as- soclation for the purpose of advertising the particular distrfet of the state and that all of the assoclations should unite, through the state assoclation, to advertise the state as a whole. ch Member to Work, Each member of the state assoclation 1s urged to take up the matter of local or district organization and the state officers are to co-operate to as great an extent as possible, " but the greatest rellance 1s placed In the general passenger agents of | the Nebraska raiiroads, who, through John Francis of the Burlington, promised to as- | sist in the formation of the subordinate associations and to visit any town In the | state where an assoclation is to be formed under this plan. After its formation the members of each association will contribute to a fund to advertise the section and when the funds are large enough may send into the east a personal representation to secure immi- gration to the state. The question of the formation of a press bureau was referred to a special commit- tee, consisting of E. A. Penson and G. C. Wallace, which will formulate a plan to bring the matters relative to Nebraska be- fore the people of the country through the dally snd weekly pre: This plan cannot be tully developed at this time, as its suc- cess depends upon the total receipts of the association, it being estimated that $1,000 may be used by the press bureau out of each $2,500 contributed to the state asso- clation. 8.
