e i SOCIETY HAS A BUSY WEEK | Bix Days and Nights of Oeaseless Gaioty | Marks the Season. . EVERYBODY TIRED AFTER A GOOD TIME Most Brilllant Week in Year ix that Just the ble People of Omnahn Thelr Friends, Closed for ol and Not for years, even during the holiday Beason, has a single week been more re- plete with brilllant affairs than the one fust closed PBeginning with a dozen smart gatherings on Monday y day was crowded with aftairs of size and importance that would ordinarily render them conspicuous on the season’s calendar; as it was, they followed in a quick succession that rendered the weck one long, brilliant whirl of gayety that only ended at midnight on Saturday night. Throughout the week the young people at home from school have figured prominently, but not more so than their elder sisters and brothers, their parents and grandparents; there was entertainment for everybody and everybody participated until by the time New Year's day festivi- tles had been accomplished, this same *“averybody'—excepting only the college people—was just a bit tired otit, and the weeks'end affairs, though among the smart- | of all, scarcely occasloned the enthu- slasm that would ordinarily have attended them. It is an open secrot that while the cotillion of Friday evening was among the most antlcipated of the week's gatherings, Balf the women were too tired to care to dance or even enjoy the evening, and in consequence—well, no one was especially enthusiastic about it next day. Ot course, Thursday overshadowed every other day and society is still chatting about what happened--and what did not | happen—on the first day of the year. | In honor ot Mrs. Jacob Gould Schurman, Mrs. Henry R. Penney and Mrs, Charles C. Rosewater gave a beautiful reception from | 4 until 6 o'clock cn Saturday afternoon at | the home of Mrs. Penney, 104 North Thirty- | first avenue, about 300 cards having been | fssued. Throughout the house the Cornell | colors, red and white, were used in the | detalls of a most effective decoration, not | the least of which were several Cornell banners, The windows had been darkened and in the various rooms a soft red glo from the shaded chandellers and numerous | candles enhanced the effectiveness of the | trimmings. Mrs. Schurman, Mrs. Penney | and Mrs. Rosewater recelved together in the library, which was trimmed with red carnations, Narcissus and rows of single brass candlesticks, while in the parlor ad- joining metcor roses were used. Across the hall in the dining room Mrs. Warren Blackwell, Mrs. Willlam Hill Clarke, Mrs. Dantel Baum, jr., and Mrs. Charles March presided alternately serving coffee and jces from the exquisitely trimmed table | with Its cover of lace and ceuter of red and white carnations, all under the glow of the red-shaded chandeller and the many candles of the four silver candelabra. In @ most attractive den at the end of the hall Miss Blanche Rosewater and Miss Georgla Kennard served punch. Among the women who aseisted through the rooms were: Mesdames J. J. McMullen, Herbert Gannett, Cowglll, Jay D. Foster, Edwitl Rosewater, Fred Pexrce, Frank Kennard, Erwin Davenport, Arthur Wakeley, William Yetter, Charles Adams of Jamestown, N. and Mrs. O. M. Stonebraker of Ifincoln. 1 Another of the large affairs of Saturday afternoon was the tea given by Mrs. A. L. Welsh and Mrs. F. B. Crowley between 3 and 6 o'clock at the home of the former, 2626 Dewey avenue, when they recelved about 175 women. It was an especlally pretty affair, with trimmings of holly and Christmas greens and scores of smartly dressed women. Mrs. Welsh and Mrs. Crowley recelved together in the parlor, where evergreen ropes and masses of holly were placed in effective trimming. Mrs. ‘Welsh wore a handsome gown of gray crepe and silk and Mrs. Crowley white opera ba- tiste. In the bay window, latticed off from | the rear parlor by ropes of greens, the punch table was placed and presided over by Misses Mabel Allison and Elouise Riggs, and in the dining room beyond Mrs. Albert Noe and Mrs. Robert B. Stevenson served at the prettily trimmed table, assisted by Misses Comstock, Mary Harrls, Zola Del- lecker, Nellie Carey and Mae Welsh. In the dining room the decorations were chiefly of red. The table was especlally smart with its tall silver candelabra and red shades that combined with the greens | and heavier trimmings of the other rooms, from which it was in full view through the arched doorways. The Omaha friends of Mrs. James L. Bevins, who has been a frequent guest at the home of her sister, Mrs. 8. A. McWhor- ter, will be interested in her recent narrow escape from drowning in Clenfuegos har- bor, Cuba, where her husband, Dr. Bevins, is stationed at Rowell barracks. Mrs. Bevins was & passenger on the government boat Ord that sank while crossing the bay December 20, and saved herself by leaping from the pllot house into the water, where she swam until picked up, with others, by boats sent out from shore. Aside from the nervous shock Mrs. Bevins suffered no ill eftects trom her experience. Miss Mary Barker entertained at lunch- eon on Saturday for Miss Moorehead.

After the guests had assembled the hostess passed around numbered slips of paper, upon which were written subjects for an imag- inary talk.

The following are some of the sublects: “How We Happened to Tour the Country With Carrie Nation;"” “When We Visited the Queen;” “Our Im- pressions From a Visit to Oom Paul,” “Why We Are Baldheaded, Knock-kneed, Pigeon-toed and Wear False Teeth,” “How We Gathered Apples When the Frost Was On the Pumpkin and the Fodder In the Shock.” Of course they had to draw upon their imaginations entirely and the effect was very laughable and entertaining.

WOMAN IN GLUS AND cumm| s All the woman's clubs of any consequence of Greater New York were represented at the mass meeting of club women called on Tuesday afternoon to consider the practi- cability and advieability of forming a New York City federation. To be sure enterprise met most bitter opposition trom some of the most one of the most influential organizations, but with an equal number of equally strong wowen interested to hear a discussion of the plan from both sides, it not personally in favor of it, the meeting was accom- lished. Among its most persistent op- posers were Mrs. Ravenhill of Sorosis, Mrs. Lillie Devereaux Blake and Rev Phoebe Hanford. The meeting was held at Lotus hall and was largely attended Shortly after it had been ralled to order a disposition to confuse the temporary chairman, Mrs. Mary Hastings, became manifest, but that lady proved far too experienced for the success of this plan and the opposing faction soon resorted to vehement epeeches to defeat the plan for formal organization. Mrs. Belle DI Ri- vera had called the meeting to order and made a strong plea in favor of it, being seconded by Mrs. Dore Lyon, president of Eclectle, Mrs, Augustine J. Wilson, presi- dent of the East End Women's Republican club, two of the women who had signed the call for the meeting; Mme. Von Klemmer, Mme. Anna A. Keating of Brooklyn, Mrs. Histings and others. It was declared by the opposition that the organization of the clube of Greater New York would in spite of everything disrupt the New York State Federation, dividing the east and west, or else that New York would govern the en- tire organization. Mrs. the proposed organization vas intended to weaken the state federation, as had been | asserted by previous speakers, and pointed out as a feature to Its advantage that it would enable the city clubs to meet more trequently and better manage the elections of the state federation. A vote in favor of the city federation was finally carried and January 15 set as the date for formal organization, and a committee appointed to prepare a circular to be sent to all clubs requesting that delegates be appointed. An active canvass has begun in behalf of Mrs. Dore Lyon and Mrs. Clarence Burns for the presidency of the prospective or- ganization. It is claimed by those opposing the city federation that the whole plan is a schemo of Mrs. Lyon, who is in line for the presi- dency of the New York State Federation, and proposes to use this city organization | to promote her own interests. The regular monthly meeting of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Rallway Mail | Service of Omaha, South Omaha and Coun- cil Bluffs was held on Wednesday after- noon at the home of Mrs. C. E. Anderson of 1410 Fairmount avenue, Council Bluffs, the attendance being larger than usual. In connection with the study of household economics, Mrs. D. C. Dodds of Omaha gave a most interesting paper on ‘“‘Chem- istry.” subjects for the rest of the club year, in the study of civil service reform, was made, Mrs, C. C. Paxton of Omaha acting as leader. For January, “The Merit System of the First Six Presidents,” by Mrs. D. C. Hudson; February, “The Tenure of Office Law,” by Mrs. J. O. Burger of Omaha; March, “Evils of the Spoils System,” Mrs. C. C. Paxton; April, “Beginning of Civil Service,” Mrs. J. G. Hart; May, “Civil Service Law,” Mrs. W. J. Gellisple. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. J. O. Burger, at Thirty-fourth and Harney streets. Mrs, J. W. Gill will act as leader of the household economics lesson. Under the auspices of the Concord, Mass., Woman's club, a concert was given recently, the proceeds to be used for a | scholarship in the Kentucky Mountain Set- tlement school. The proceeds netted more than enough for tife scholarship, the bal- ence being used to defray expenses and to send a barrel of literature and clothing to the same school. The formal opening of the Woman's club house of Boston, or the New Century building, as it is called, occurred on Tues- day evening between 8 and 10 o'clock, and on the day following, from 2 until 6 o'clock, all the club women of Boston and the vicinity were Invited to inspect the bulld- ing.
