SOCIETY AND TENNIS MEN Weok Will Revolve Around Oourts at the Field Olub. NINETEEN CUPID SNARES COUPLES Result of His Summer Campal Comes in Form of Announce- ment of a Score Leas One of Engagements, . A Song of Lovelace. Theodosia Garrison in Colliers. Love made this earth a garden spot Where maldens grow as flowera; Methinks man hath no fairer task Than strolling mid the bowers; “T1s his within its blooms to bask Or pluck from out the rest One rose to flaunt within his cap Or hide upon his breast Love made this earth a fragrant grove— As birds the maldens are With each her own fair song of love To call her mate afar And deaf to m‘mlvhwmlldh};n prove Who would not choose him one ‘Who sings the song that glads him best And sings to him “alone. Then sing heigh ho, but love is good Who wrought so falr a plan; These buds and birds of womanhood To glad the life of man 80 gallants choose in merry mood For soon comee winter's gloom When never bird may sing for us And never blossom bloom. This week's social activity will practically center at the Field club, for on Monday the Interstate Tennls tournament opens there and will continue during the week, and the man who does not belong there or to the Country club will regret it. Of course it does not make any difference with the women, for they are always eligible by invitation, but for once being a man will have (ts disadvantages and it 1s sald that there are several fellows in soclety who have accepted no invita- tiona there this summer, saving them all for this week. Of course there are to be a lot of people here from out of town. It 1s sald that a whole bevy of girls are com- Ing up from Lincoln for the week besides those who are already here (not to speak of the visiting men), and if this year is to be judged by last there will be more stun- ning outing sults, promenading, dinners, gosslp and fiirting than upon any previous occasion of the summer. There will be a game morning and afternoon, but late in the atternoon wi'l be the time when so- clety will come out in force. Not that the fashionables are consumed with interest in tennls, but the tournament affords excep- tional opportunities for things that soclety does care for, and the late afternoon and early evening will see them out. In addi- tion to all of this the tournament commit- tee has provided some extra features. Among these is a duck drive, which will occur Wednesday, but of this, more than it name and date, nothing is known, for the committee refuses to tell what is in store. Wednesday evening will doubtless see the largest gathering of the week, un- less Saturday evening be excepted, on ac- count of the hopx. Friday evening there will be a smoker and dinner for the visit- iog men, and every other evening there will be dinners and a crowd. Three young women who are very much in soclety sat down one morning last week and counted up nineteen cases of devotion sufficiently marked to warrant people's expecting announcements, Of these, elght have already announced the engagement and three others the dates of thelr wed- dings. In four other cases soclety has every reason to expect the wedding an- nouncement any day, for the trousseaus are being made, and there is an Interesting lot of chat afloat about conflicting dates the latter part of October and early No- vember. Regarding the others there are different degrees of certainty, and the last fortnight has launched a fresh batch of gossip that involves two young women who had previously been spared. It is said the men both live In Chicago. One of these 1s & brother of a girl who visited here last spring, and for whom her hostess, and now suspected prospective sister-in-law, gave ever so many affairs that attracted atten- tion for being unique as well as smart. There have been a couple of visits to Chi- cago since then, and—well, others have been to Chicago, too, and that is how it got out, though the young woman's sister inalsts the report is all nonsense; that he 1s simply an old-time friend of the family, which may be all true enough, but does not necessarily make the story impossible. As for the other girl, she, too, denles the she 18 engaged., but that proves nothing, for no one really expects a girl to admit such things—that is where her parents' part comes in—and it is about the only thing they do have to say about such af- fairs now-a-days, too. At any rate, gossip says the story Is true, and the only thing there is to offset suspicion 1s the fact that out at the Country club on the day of the gymkhana a very well known man, who has eluded the combined efforts of mothers and daughters of Omaha and New York for ever so many seasons, was her con- stant and devoted attendant. And then there is another quartet of un- announced certainties that has kept so- clety guessing, but the fact is that the men in question, one a young| doctor, another a young lawyer, the third a young news- paper man, and the fourth just launched in the brokerage business, are too experienced in soclety to make the venture until thelr business is & littlo beter established. As for the rest of the people, to quote one of the girls, “they don't act pleasant when they are with anybody else, and they don't deny it when they are accused of being engaged.” At any rate, soclety Is sure ot several fashionable weddings this fall, whether the number reaches nineteen or not. Here Is what Town Toples says about the dire possibilities that may befall an | army officer well known here in Omaha Who has thus far escaped capture: “A few eligible young women lingering in the viclnity of Chicago, especlally in the Ken- wood set, are a-flutter over the visit of sallant Captain Jack Pershing, the young army officer who made such a brilliant record in the Mindanao campalgns in the Philippines last wintep. He has been in- valided home, and his ‘eave of absence will allow him to remain until fall. He Is not #0 fll that he cannot participate In the soclal life where he was once so popular and where he will\doubtless be more so now." Mr. W. 8 Stillman, who returned last week from an excursion to the Commercial Law league convention, is not so proud of the growing baldness of his pate as he was before he started. “On the boat up to Mackinac we fe'l in with some charm- ing people” relgtes Mr. Stillman. “one young married woman in particylar, whose grace and vivacity were speclally attract- ive. Her husband was on the boat with her, but he didn’t seem to pay much at- tention to his wife, and as my wife was busy elsewhere the temptation of & chat with her on deck was irresistible. Strangely she preferred to keep talking about her husband and telling all the fine points he possessed. She went into ecstacies over his virtues and lald emphatic stress on his beautiful hair. “Why," she exclaimed, ‘I hisa for his hair a‘one. If he and become hald I love him any more.’ You ought to see me at that pull down my cap well over my ears. | was in mortal fear all the rest of the voyage that I would be caught somewhere with my hat oft.” Among those who entertained dinner parties at the Country club last evening were: Mrs. Arthur Remington, who had six guests; Mr. George Bidwell, four guests; Mr. N.

The large lawn of “Wildwood” was WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY The speelal subject of education of women is considered by President J. M. Taylor of Vassar college as follows in the August number of World's Work. He says in opening The most signficant thing in connection with the education of women is the prodi- glous growth of the movement. No fig- ures that could be given can tell the story. The advance is remarkable, not merely as compared with a generation ago, when the higher education was a com| ively new question. Even within five years the in- crease of women students in America has been so great as to suggest to the open- gyed nothing less than a glaclal movement In eoclety. "Women constitute nearly 30 per cent of all our college students, speaking now only of the really important colleges of the country; and women graduates of these Institutions in the United States, both coeducational and a woman's colleges, number about 2,000. One has only to think of the prodiglous influence of this element in American life to see how significant it is. President Taylor does not go at length into a discussion of separate giucation and coeducational, but he says: “There can be no doubt that women are purposing in an in- creasing degree to obtalg all the education within thelr reach. When it 1s remembered that more than half the puplls in our sec- ondary schools, and a still larger propor- tion of the graduates, are girls, the mighty flluminated with Japanese lanterns.

Whistler Picture in Omal ‘While the world of art with general ac- cord is mourning the death of one of its leading figures, James McNeill Whistler, the people of Omaha should feel a special pride in the knowledge that one of his cholcest etchings is contained in a private collection in this city. Side by side with an etching of Seymour Hayden, etched by himself, hangs in the home of Mrs. Mc- Cormick, at 208 South Thirty-third street, Whistler's plcture of ‘“The Black Lion ‘Whart,” which Mr. Joseph Pennell pro- nounces one of the greatest engraved plates that has been reproduced in modern times. It was purchased from Rouillet, Keppel's representative in Chicago. Just recelved, fifty pattern hats, and a large line of street hats, at Mrs. R. H. Davis', GET GLIMPSE OF KING EDWARD and Mrs. P. C. Heafy See Great in's Ruler While Visit- ing in London. Mr. and Mrs. P, C. Heafy have returned | from a three months' trip to Europe, into which they crowded a large amount of traveling and sightseeing. Going first to Ireland they proceeded in a few days to London, where they caught a glimpse of King Edward in his carriage drawn by six cream colored horses, and a close view of the Prince of Wales, who attended a din- ner one evening at the Hotel Cecll, where they stopped. In Ireland, however, Mr. Heafy says they found much more to in- terest them. It was Junme 14, 1878, that he left Ireland and June 14, 108, exactly twenty-five years later, all of which have been spent In Omaha, that he again landed on “the ould sod.”* He found conditions greatly Improved, the people having be- come more prosperous in recent years on account of freproved land laws, and many of them now being in condition to take advantage of the bill by which tenants may buy the land held by them. After visiting his father, brother and sister, and other relatives, Mr. and Mrs. Heafy traveled through twenty-one of the thirty-two counties In Ireland, and every- where found the warmest feeling existing towards America and Americans. This was especially noticeable in Dublin, where they witnessed the big automobile races Whenever the American car, decorated with the American flag, appeared it was cheered with more enthusiasm than any of the others. But much to the evident regret of the crowd It made a particularly poor showing. Short visits were paid by Mr. and Mrs. Heafy to Bcotland and Wales, and they then proceeded to Paris. What there most impressed Mr. Heafy were the catacombs, where the bones of 2,500,000 people, taken from cemeteries where public or other bulldings have baen erected, are deposited. They are piled in regular heaps and extend for a distance of over seven miles. The sea trip was very pleasant and they returned greatly improved in health. Morand's grand opening assembly on Wednesday, September 2, § p. m. Classes for adults reopens on Tuesday, September 1,8 p. m. You will save two dgllars from the regular price if you buy your ticket fmportance of the movement to American lite is at once apparent.” Regarding the statement so frequently made that college women should have some special training for the separate sphere they must fill in life, he thinks the answer Is found in the elective system and that “the question s no more significant in connection with the training of our girls than of our boys" while regarding the health of of college women, for which so much anxlety Is expressed by some of the solicitious ones, he presents some carefully collected statistics from Vassar and other women's colleges and says: “It has been abundantly shown over and over again that the health of college women Improves during the four years of their college life. 1t would be difficult to find several hundred young women of the same general social conditions in more general good health and spirits than those who have just closed the current academic year in our women's col- leges. Only three of the 163 graduates of Vassar in 1903 assert that they have not fmproved in general heaith since entering college.” President Taylor is equally positive that the higher education has no deterrent ef- | fect upon marriage or ohild-bearing. Over half the graduates of the first ten years of Vassar are married, he says, and the pro- portion of children to each marriage is more than from two to three, the average shown In familles of similar social condi- tion throughout America. Of the 368 gradu- ates from 1867 to 1877, there are 21 mar- ried and 133 of these have borne 404 child- ren, 23 sons and 181 daughters. The next ten years show 369 graduates, 18 married, 105 mothers of 267 children, 149 sons, 18 daughters. The preponderance of boys off- ers a problem for the soclologists. In conclusion President Taylor says: “Thare {s nothing in the college tratning of American women to contribute to ab- normal results. A healthy mind and a healthy body and absolutely healthy and natural sentiments toward life are the gen- eral product. Those who have seen most of the work are foremost in their belfef in it. * * ¢ No work in America promises more for its future than the thorough edu- cation of its girls. There is only one statement in Dr. Tay- lor's admirable article to which exception can be taken, vie.: ‘Women have in- creased more rapldly in the separate col- leges in’the jast few years.” The statistics of the United States commissioner of edu- cation do not sustain this assertion. On the contrary they show the percentage of Increase for the twelve years ending with 190t to be almost exuctly the same, with a fraction of one-tenth of 1 per cent, in favor of coeducation. In that year there were 21,463 women In coeducatfonal uni- versities and colleges, and 5260 in those for women alone. In 192 the figures stood, 22,607 in the former, 5,549 in the latter, a slight increase toward coeducation. Mrs. May Wright Sewell, president of the International Council of Women; Mrs. John F. Bwift. of San Francisco, president of the National Councll of Women of the United States, and Mrs. Alice Wheeler Plerce, of Indianapolis, as delegate from this country, salled last week for Dres- den, where they will attend the executive meeting of the International Council, which will be held there. This meeting will be of especial importance and will be attended | by delegates from many countries. As | this will be the last meeting before the quinquennial conclave of the International Council, to be held in Berlin next year, the making of the program and the bring- ing together of representatives from all civilized countries will be the chief busi- ness. Mrs. Sewell's presidential report, which will be presented at Dresden, covers over fifty typewritten pages in its review of the year just past. The International Council represents over a million women in organization. Appeals have come from the wome of Finland and Macedonia for sympathy and help, while almost every other country asks for co-operation. Na- tional councils auxiliary to the interna- tional now exist in every country of Burope excepting Russia, Norway and Greece, In | Australia, Canada and Argentine repub- lie, while steps for the formation of such organiZations have bean taken in Peru, Chili, Mexico and Japan. | Mrs. Frank Kennedy, of Omaha, has been re-elected president of the woman's aux- illary of the International Typographical union, the meeting having convened in Washington last week. The auxiliary was recognized by the I T. U. last year at Cincinnatl when Mrs. Kennedy was made its president. It was declded at the last mational con- vention of the National American Woman's Suftrage assoclation that the birthdays of three of the first workers in the cause should be annually observed, Susan B. An- thony's, February 15; Lucy Stone’s, August 13, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton's, Novem- ber 12. On Thursday of last week, suffrage clubs all over the United States observed Lucy Stone Blackwell's birthday, and the following Interesting sketch of this inter- esting woman is given by Ida Husted Har- per: Lucy Stone was born on a farm near West Brookfield, Mass., In 1818, Here she was married in 155 to Henry B. Blackwell. A large number of Boston men and women held a meeting on this historic spot, and an address was made by Col. Thomas Wentworth Higginson, who performed the ceremony. This marriage was heralded far and near because the word “obey” was omitted and because the newly wedded couple issued a joint protest against the on or before the opening night.

GEORGETOWN, Ky., Aug 15.—Henry the mountain witness called ers case, who ran away several days ago to keep from testifylng, was brought in today by deputies. He will testify this afternoon.

In order to protest further against the loss of individuality which a wife suffered by glving up her name the bride retained “Lucy Stone,” never as- suming the “Blackwell." She first secured the opinion of several eminent lawyers, including Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase, that there was no law requiring the wife to take the husband's name. Lucy Stone was a blue-eyed, fair-haired, soft-voiced woman about five feet high, but there have been few of her sex %o radical in thought, fearless in speech and brave in action. She was among the earliest to enter Oberlin, the first college opened to women; earned all the meney for her education; refused to allow her graduating essay to bewread by a professor, when not permitted to read it herself; began lectur ing on woman's rights the year she finished college; was mobbed, struck and had the hose turned on her, but kept right on speaking; allowed her household goods, in- cluding her baby's cradle, to be sold for taxes, and, holding the baby in her lap, wrote a protest againet taxation without representation. She was the leading factor In organizing the American Woman Suf- frake assoclation In 1869, and founding the Woman's Jougnal (Boston) in 1570, Her married life was exceptionally happy, and her one child, Miss Alice Stone Blackwell, continues, with her father, the work begun in the young womanhood of the mother. The last appearance of Lucy Stone befors a large audience was at the Woman's con- gress of the World's fair in Chicago in May, 188. She died In October of that year at her home in Dorchester, Mass., aged 7.
