6 SOCIETY FAIRLY WHIZZING Early Days of June Bees Brisker Movement of Bmart Bet. ” WEDDINGS AND PRELIMINARIES TAE CAUSE Some Remarks Made by Parties Who Are Gollaterally Interested and What One Prospective Groom It the Initial week is indictative of the month, then soclety has a gay time ahead, for the last seven days have been full in- deed. This was particularly true of the early days that, afternoon and evening, were occupled with affairs preliminary to the Burns-McShane wedding and a score of other things for other brides and other people. And this week soclety will go all over it again, and the next week, and the next, 0o, for June Is dedicated to brides and Wednesdays to weddings, and every Wednesday on the calendar has a ring wround it This week the Fonda-Jaynes wedding will be the notable event, and so much has been planned for the prospective bride that two of the hostesses have in- geniously selected the morning hours for affairs that ordinarily occur in the after- noon, which fact but adds to'the possibil- ities of the occasions. On Monday Mrs. Willlam Bradbury and Mrs. Charies Rich entertain at euchre; Miss Edith Dumont gives a morning ken- sington for Miss Herberta Jaynes; Mi Helen Cady entertains at 1 o'clock lunch- eon for Miss Jaynes; the Cassidy-Warcott weddin, On Tuesday Miss Lomax will be hostess of the meeting of the Euchre club; Mrs. Willlam Bradbury and Mrs. Charles Rich give the second of their series of card par- ties; Miss Mona Martin gives a luncheon for Miss Jaynes and Miss Slossen; the meeting of the Fortnightly Euchre club at the home of Mrs. George Moore: meeting of the N.

On Thursday Mrs. Andrew Traynor will entertain at ecuchre; the Debutante’ luncheon at the home of Miss Susan Hol- drege. On Friday Mrs. Charles Helmer gives a luncheon for Miss Edith Snell and Mr Frank Fahs. On Saturday Mr. and Mrs. . B. Nichols celebrate their seventeenth wedding anni- versary at thelr summer place at Florence, A lot of driftwood stories are afloat in Omaha just now, thrown up by the June floodtide of the matrimonial sea, about parental objections entered with more or Inss vigor to the persistent stubbornness of sons and daughters who thitk it their privilege to contract alliances for them- #elves rather than to let papa and mamma do the business for them. The father of one of the principal partners in a forth- coming Lohengrin wedding march was ac- costed by a friend of the family the other day with this greeting: “Well, I see you're to have a wedding in your household soon. I suppose you are open to congratulations!” “I'm not eo sure about that,”” came the eautious reply. ‘hese things don’t always &0 the way we want them and It may not turn out to be a cause for congratula- tions.” 2 Now of course everyone will agres that this was decidedly bad taste, and even if the parents had doubts or misgivings, having allowed the affair to go to the pub- lishing of the bans, they should keep their anxious solicitude to themselves and do the best they could to give the young people a good start and keep them in the middle of the stream that carries them o success,and domestic happiness. Spread- ing broadcast the information that their own parents have no confidence in the stability of the alllance certainly doesn’t help things, but only puts additional ob- stacles In the path. Along with the parents complaints against children making matches not entirely by thelr liking, an occasional protest is ralsed by the children against the amiction of & new father or a new mother not of their choosing. There has been a great deal, comparatively speaking, of this in O.naha of late—widows and widowers taking on consolation by a second nuptial knot. In one impending case where property in- terests are at stake, the suggestion that the relatives might disapprove met the re- spon “What it they do? I'm marrying to suit myself. My daughter got married without ®0 much as asking me by your leave, al- though I would probably have sald yes without hesitation. I'm old enough to know what 1 want to do and I guess no one has any right to interfere.” That is the kind of a spirit of indepen- dence that commands admiration. Linen showers for the budding bride have 10ng been staples In the line of wedding party entcrtainments. Everyone knows What a linen shower is. The girl friends of the star performer utilize a farewell party to present her each with a plece of Jinen for thesnew household, usually of the donor's own handiwork. Later inno- vations have made Omaha brides the vie- tims of variegated showers—one had & plo- ture shower the other day which resulted in"an accumulation of pretty things to em- bellish the walls of the new home und another had n stocking shower that is sure to make her an attractive object when she does her rainy day shopping later. And naw the shower has encircled the groors s well as the bride, the man of the week's wedding having been made the victim of a necktie party a week ago. When we speak of a necktie party we are usually reminded of #u entively diffsrerc function, but this particular man would just as seon wear the hemp as some uf the apparel loaded onto him. The bargain counters at the department stores must have been denuded of their cholcest treasures in the line of “gent's furnishings.’ “How's this for a loud one?” asked one of the men unwrapping a silken checker- NO WOMAN IS BEAUTIFUL on whose face, neck or arms there are dis- figuring blotches of Superfiuous Hair There s only one method of removing unnecessary hair that is indorsed by ph jans, surgeons, dermatologists m cal journals, and’ that i "De Mhiracle a wonderful liquid preparation, which fn- stantly removes the hair by dissolving ng_and d-tnmn1 its growth, wi out the slightest injury to the skin or com- jon. 1t ks sure, safe, quick, painiess and xw.nlvo.

Whereupon the culprit stutfed Cot- ton in his ears and Nashed his teeth. “Won't that scald you!" excluimed af enthusiastic admirer holding up & flame of fery scarlet No, but it will give his neck Burns. And they all howled. Among the pretty home weddings of the week was that of Miss Anne Taylor, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. N.

Prizes are glven | for varfety, beauty and artistic arrange- ment and all women not professional gar- | deners whether members of the club or | not, are eligible to enter the competition. | Especlal effort is made to Interest the women In the country districts to use these beautiful flowers to beautify thelr prem- lses. At the close of the exhibit the flow- ers are sent to the hospitals. Such an en- | terprise might be profitably undertaken in Omaha as there are still many unsightly | fences that might be converted Into things | of beauty, on the sunny side at least, if some plan for Interesting their could but be devised. owners The Chicago Woman's club has ever had A reputation for doing unusual things and Its most recent project Is to furnish pure milk to the poor of the city at cost. Th> appalling mortality among children, ~aveed 0 largely from impure milk, has settled the question with some of the women and they have declded to waste no more offort or time In trying to persuade, compel or | Induce men to enforce the laws, tut will | £0 Into the milk business themselves. They propose to establish a bottling and steriliz- ing plant and then to deliver the miik about through the poorer quarters of the city. They will also establish depots in the tenement districts, where pure milk may be procured at cost at any time. Ex- pensive as the plan may be, the women declare they will see it successfully through, and when it Is thoroughly established will call for public subscriptions to support it. The appointment of agents to visit the dairies and purchase milk only under the cleanest conditions i another of the Inno- vations of the enterprise. A strong plea for the co-operation that comes with federation is made in the re-/ cently issued open letter by the executive committee of the California federation. Referring directly to the educational and Industrial departments, it says: “So kng as children 6 years of age are gmployed In mills and factorles in any part of the United States, and there is that crying need for uniform laws regarding child labor; o long as women who live In moun- tains or on prairiess are hungering for books and art; so long as there is need of creation of general sentiment for natlonal irrigation bill homes for women and chil- dren may be created and preserved; so long as the most vital work for soclal et~ terment can only bring results by co- operation, can it be that any club can say that it has no responsibility in the larger work, that it is enough that It dust its own room? Or, If it take a hand in the world outside its own door, can it wisely say it Carroll D. Wright, United States Labor commissioner, gives the following four rea- sons why women workers receive smaller pay than men. First, the woman comes into the industrial system of today as an entirely new factor; second, she holds a lower standard of industrial demands caused to some extent by a lower standard of lite, both in physical and mental fea- tures; third, insufficient equipment, due not to incapacity but to the thought that per- menancy of employment will be inter- rupted by matrimony; also to the fact that she lacks, so far, the Influence that comes from assoclation and combination, and, fourth, she is not a political factor in so- clety, Miss Foulse Poppenheim, corresponding secretary of the General Federation, 1s | chalrman of the educational committee of | the South Carolina federation, which is one of the strongest departments of that or- ganization. The committee now has fifty- nine scholarships under {ts control and Miss Poppenhelm reported at the recent convention that 110 applications had been made for these. Four new scholarships | were presented at the convention. It was | urged that the great need In the south was for elementary schools rather than higher education, and & committee was ap- pointed to Investigate the delinguent chil- dren, who, regardless of age, or offence are confined {ndiscriminately with hardened criminals. Now that the season for garden flowers | has come, it is urged by those carrying the work of the Emma Flower mission, that all having garden flowers to give send them {to be distributed among the hospitals While flowers of any sort are always ap- | preclated by the sick, the spring flowers -rel JUNE 7. 1903 especially looked for At this season and there have not been as many of these as usual. The distribution Is made every Thursday morning and all who have flow- ors to glve are requested to send them to Mrs. George A. Hoagland at 418 South Bixteenth street. If it is not convenient to send the flowerr they will be called for if Mra. Hoagland is notified Mra. MeQuold Among lood Vietima, The terrible condition of affairs in anl about Kansas City, aud particularly at Argentine, Kan, during the last week, gave rise to much anxiety among the many friends of Mrs. Frances McQuold, widow of the late Rev. John McQuoid, former pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal of this city, as to her safety and that of her two little children. Tel:grams sent to her on last Monday were nover heard from and finally a telegram was received here by Mr. R. W, Breckenridge from Dr. Geo. Halley of Kansas City, to the effect that Mrs, McQuoid and children were safe, but that they had lost everything. Later a let- ter was received frony Mrs. McQuoid, writ- ten on Monday, June 1, to Mr. Brecken- ridge, from which the following quotations are made: “We are safe at my sister's. This Is certainly the most terrible experience I have ever had. Everything is gone. Water two feet in 'the second story of our bufld- ing. 1 am afraid it will float. We left Saturday evening; could not save anything but a few papers and clothes and a sult- case. People are kind to me; but, oh| my books and home are gone.” The books re- ferred to are what Mrs. McQuold kept of the library of her husband. The sad circumstances of Dr. McQuold's death are still remembered by his many friends In this community. It will not be forgotten that so far as Mrs. McQuold was concerned, the burden lald upon her was increased by the birth of a daughter but an hour or two before Dr. McQuoid's death, and she was left penniless tu face the world with two bables. Her courage in facing the duties thus put upon her and her desire to be independent, have made many friends for her who knew her only slightly before her husband's death. Soon after Dr. McQuold died she en- gaged In a small millinery business at Ar- gentine, Kan., and had succeeded in earn- ing a living for herself and children, when this last catastrophe came upon her. She lived in the bullding where she conducted her tusiness, and her stock and store are a total loss. It Is proposed that her friends and the friends and admirers of her de ceased husband shall contribute to a purse for her In this extremity. It Is believed that a considerable sum will willingly be contributed In order to give this estimable woman a start In life again. Checks can be sent to Mr. C, C at the store of Thompson, Belden Co., or to the editor of this paper. Funeral Masons, attention!
