THE OMAHA DAILY SOCIETY'S OUTLOOK 1S DI | Beason Begins to Take on Real Backoloth and Ashes Aspeot. WEEK HOLDS VERY LITTLE OF PROMISE | Weddings to Come After Easter Are Being Announced and the List is Coming to Goodly Proportion Easter Hats. New York Times. At Eastertide a_woman's hat Is foremost on her mind She wants the very latest style, Lhe most expensive kind; All through the day, all through the night, About it she wlil cha while her husband The to wear His old vlug hat. On Baster day she will parade Along the avenue; Her bonnet trimmed with violets, And costly roses, too She is the cynosure of eyes, The subject of each chat, ThH--hwml.x her husband calinly wea: old " ’ plug hat. Tomorrow will close the season of the Monday evening table d'hote dinner at the Omaha club and society will be reluctaut to give it up, too, for wilhout doubt it has been one of thesmartest and most satisfac- tory institutions of the winter and has done more than any other agency to stim- ulate the fashionables to certain things that they have hiterto been a bit dilatory in adopting. As obe young matron ex- pressed It who entertains a great deal, “It 1s the most up-to-date Institution we hav, While the dinner lists for Monday evening have not yet been given out, the attendance promises to be larger than it was last week and there is to be at least one party of size. The week's calenaar is anything but promising so far as announced and things promise to be unusually quiet, even for Lent. On Monday Mrs. Arthur Pinto will enter- tain the Practice Whist and Mrs. W. P. Mikesell will entertain the Hanscom Park Sewing circle of the Visiting Nurses' asso- ciation. On Tuesday Mrs. Dilworth is to be hostess ‘of the meeting of the South Side Whist club, the meeting to be rather exceptional in that the men friends of the members are to be inciuded. At 11 o'clock the board of directors ot the Young Women's Christian assoclation will give a breakfast to about 200 guests; in the evening a number of young people will present the little comedy, “Mr. Bob,” at the Metropolitan club. Miss Ellen Mc- Shane will entertain the Euchre club. On Wednesday evening Mrs. N. H. Nelson will entertain at cards. On Friday the Woman's alliance of Unity church will give a card party at the home of Mrs. A. D. Hoag, in Kountze place, and in the evening Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Yetter will entertain at cards. On Saturday Mr. and Mrs. Rogers enter- taln the Chafing Dish clud; the dinner for men at the Omaha club and the last of the Lenten musicales at Kountze Memorial church. It 1s beginning to look as though soclety 18 to have some more substantial assurance than gossip of a whole lot of weddings this spring, for though it fs still early, the engagement announcements aré beginning to come and many of them accompanied by tho wedding date. If any dependence 18 to bo placed upon what some of these people are saylng about themselves, the announcements are not all out yet, and never will be, for it is probable that the wedding cards will be issued directly after Easter. . At least two weddings of size and consequence are to occur the week following Easter, qne & church wedding and the other a home wedding, and if halt the people who wish to entertain in honor of the prospective brides are successful in their arrangements the given-in-honor at- fairs will begin before the close of the Lenten season. Among the most pleasant things in pros- pect for the post-Lenten season is a cotil- lion that, according to gossip, is to be glven by a nimber of “the girls" re- turn to the men who gave the series of cotillions during the winter. The personnel i the prospective hostesses has not yet been announced. The marriage of Dr. George L. Miller and Miss Frances M. Driges, which occurred at Arbor Lodge, Nebraska City, on Tuesday afternoon, was among the most pleasant surprises of the week. Dr. and Mrs. Miller went to Chicago immediately after their marriage and e expected back today. They will reside at the Normandie. The third of the Lenten musicales was Jheld on Saturday at the Lininger art gal- lery and was, of course, from a fashionable standpoint, the feature of the week. The program was given by Mrs. Rita Johnson Shank of Chicago, assisted by Mrs. L. A. Crofoot, and was as follows “A Barque at Midnight" “Slumber Boat” .... “Ah, Love, But a Day “At Twilight ... “The Rosy Morn™ .

Schadell, WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY Preparation has commenced for the next annval meeting of the Nebraska Federation | of Women's clubs to be held in Fremout October 6, 7 and 8, inclusive, the program committee having been called together on Wednesday to meet with the chalrmen of the various standing committee and several of the state officers, The meeting was held Wednesday morning/at the Hotel Lincoln in Lincoln, and was attended by Mmes. C. J. Fordyce of University Place, Smith of Omaha, Minnie Cline of Minden and E. J. Hainer of Aurora, of the program eom- mittee; Mrs. Harrlet 8. MacMurphy of Omaha, of the household economics com- mittee; Mrs, C. 8. Langworthy of Seward, chailrman of the art committee; Mre. E. L. Hinman of Lincoln, chairman of the edu- cational committee; Mrs. W. G. L. Taylor of Lincoln, chairman of the civics com- mittee; Mrs. A. A, Scott of Lincoln of the reciprocity bureau; Mrs. W. E. Page of Syra- cuse, state president; Mrs. H. M. Bushnell of Lincoln, state auditor; Mrs. F. M. Hall of Lincoln, former chairman of the art committee; Mre. W. H, Clemmons, Miss Nanette McCarn and Mrs. D. V. Stephens of the local committee on entertainment of Fremont. Mrs. H. M. Bushnell represented the industrial committee in the absence of Mrs. C. S. Lobingler. The purpose of the meeting was for conference rather than the transaction of business, suggestions be- ing made by the different committee chair- men for their respective programs. It was the judgment of all that there should be fewer papers and more time for the dis- cussion of the subjects presented; that the time be employed to draw out sug- gestions from the women generally rather than to hearing the opinions of a few, It being eepecially desirable that there be an exchange of the working experience of the individual clubs. The afternoon sessions | such programs are an injustice ta .u con- are to be but two hours long, from 2 until 4 o'clock, and the remainder of the time will be devoted to conferences on the va- rious lines of work. This plan, it is be- lieved, will enable the women to get what they wish in any of the departments and will admit of several conferences on the same subject for those who wish it. The presence of Mrs. Denison, president of the General Federation, promises to be one of the pleasant features of the meet- ing, Mrs. Denison having agreed to be | present provided her tlme can be arranged to compass the meetings of several of the western federations which occur about that time. l As the Nebraska Library assoclation will be in session in Fremont at the same time s the' federation, it is probable b vlew of the general interest of clubs in library work, that one session will be co-operative probably the session when the library ai sociation will have Its strongest speaker. It was aleo suggested that in the interest of household economics, which claims the interest of so ny women, that a model kitchen be arranged and a dietetic luncheon | be served. It is doubtful if this plan can | be carried out owing to the work it woull entall, unless the women of Fremont feal inclined to undertake it. There will be co- | operation of the education and household | economics committees, however, in some feature of one of thelr programs. Some emphasis of the work of the rect- | procity bureau will be another innovation, | an explanation of the work and suggestions of lis advantages and how to embrace them, being the preferred plan. It was | decided that the social session be postponad until the last, that it might not interfere with the work of the convention. It is to be hoped that similar caution will be ex- ercised to prevent the over-emphasis of other features, programs and the like, that in spite of previous experience, a nually allowed to crowd the business ses- sions and that, with their acknowledged over long or too numerous papers, occupy time that might be much more pmm.\hly| devoted even to receptions and teas, for | cerned. Following the morning’s business the vis- iting women, who had been met wiith car- riages at the station by the Lincoln women, were taken to the home of Mrs. E. E. Labr, where they were entertained at luncheon, Mrs. Lahr, Mrs. A. W. Field and Mrs. H. M. Bushnell belng hostesses.
