SOCIETY READY FOR START Bmart Folks Willing to Take Up the Winter Round of Gaiety. WEDDINGS HOLD ATTENTION AT PRESENT Week Hegins with a Pair of Notable Events and a Number of Others of Interest Are Soon to Follow, Rondeau, New York Times é lovely flush I saw upon her face, ‘hat mantled o'er her cheek with winsome ace, atTappy day she promised me her hand. ere was no fairer girl in all the land n she whom 1 held close in my embrace. The years have passed. But what is't still . can chase My cares away, my troubles all efface, And make my heart with glad delight ex- pand? A lovely flush Don't_meoff, yo woman-haters. Hear my case Dt'm'k’ you, too, feel a smile o'erspread your ace, And have a glorious sense of proud com- mand, When vou look down, and notice in your an In sequence thers, from ten-spot up to ace, A lovely flush? ‘While there are plenty of stay-at-homes who can recall summers that have been a great deal less Interesting than this one has been, it is comforting just the same o note that “have returned” is beginning to be substituted in the soclety chronicle for the “have gone” that has prevalled since the early summer. People are be- ginning to come back in numbers tha promise soon to restore soclety to its nor- mal activity, And with the return of so- clety will come the return of the clique, but of course everyone expects that, for when one's preferred friends are scattered broadcast, one has to be soclable with other people, in self-defense. That Is really the most lasting benefit of the sum- mer; people really get acquainted with each other while the other members of their set are away and then have some- thing to fall back upon later in the sea- son. The week of bad weather seems to have | quite put soclety in the notion of indoor affairs, In faot, any other sort would have been impossible, but the rain and storm ade everything seem cozy last week and inspiréd ever so many luncheons and little card parties for the visiting girls that were altogether enjoyable and promise to launch the sopson for indoor entertainment several weeks earlier than usual. While there was by no means a rush of entertainment, practieally everything was in the homes ‘which loaned an air of formality that does not usually attend the gatherings of the Jte summer. In the main, the visiting girls have been the occasion of things, though the wedding of Miss Bhaver and Mr. Roy Jones at The Bunkers Wednes- day afternoon, was the conspicuous fea- ture of the week. The opening of the theaters promises to be a conspicuous feature of the week and while there will not be the theater parties that were talked a fortnight ago, at least not all of them, soclety will be well rep- resented at both openings. The early August visitors at Hot Spring: 8. D., are chatting of the devotion of one of Omaaha's most elegible bachelors to a prominent soclety girl of Bloux City, the daughter of a well known plate glass dealer. Jt was not the mere summer resort sort ©of devetfon, but the serfous kind of atten- tion' Lamt justifies suspicion. She has been out several seasons and he might have been in soclety for several years past had he not beet more inclined to business than soclal @utics. His pame has long been identified With the Omaha Street Rallway company. The stormy weather of the last week had & very perceptible effect upon affalrs at the Country club, and while there were Bevernl smart gatherings there, chiefly luncheons, there were as many more that were palled off or postponed and things were comparatively quiet, a gloom perva- ding the place, that not even the grate fire, the card table or the efforts ‘of the musical contingent could dispel. Practically every- thing was indoors and there were many of the devotees who did not go out at all last week. Another such week and society would be quite ready to open its drawing rooms. Last evening there were few din- nérs and all of those were small. The list tncluded Mr. H. 8. Lindsey, who has four guests; Mr. Ross Towle, four; Mrs. C. C. Allison, six; Mr. John Daugherty, elght; Mr. W. T. Burns, two; Mr. A. J. Smith, two; Mr. E. M. Fairfield, three, and Mrs. A. J. Love, four. _Jt is eald that two more engagement an- Bpuncements are shortly to be added to the already long and daily growing list, the young women being daughters of a promi- nent family of Worthington Place. In fact, {he trousseau of one is already completed, and, by the way, If this is a sample of what 18 being turned out in that line this season, soclety will be handsomely gowned this winter, Acco:ding to those supposed to know, the wedding is to oceur very moon, ibly before the last or even the middie of September. He 15 a lay reader in one of the fashionable churches. The other wedding s scheduled for a little later, prob- ably October.

WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY The ninth annual meeting of the Ne- braska Library assoclation will be held dt Fremont, in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Nebraska Federation of Women's Clubs, October 7 and 8. The an- nual meeting is considered one of the chief factors in arousing and extending an in- terest In library affairs and the assoclation has invited all librarians of the state and members of the boards of trustees and others engaged In educational work to at- tend the Fremont meeting and join the as- soclation. The program committee has planned to present a very attractive and instructive program which will be of great value to all Interested in the work of library extension. Mr. J. Cotton Dana, librarian of the public library of Newark, N. J., will address the meeting in joint ses- slon with the Federation the evening of October 8 on “Library Opportunities.”” This alone should be an inducement to attend the meeting. An especial effort is being made to increase the membership and funds of the association and the officers belleve that If every person in the state engaged in library work would constitute herself a committee to secure more members and thereby increase the fund, that the work would recelve great impetus. The fees are needed for the association expenses In- curred during the year and all members and those desiring to become members are requested to remit the amount of 60 cents at once to the treasurer, Miss Margaret A. O'Brien, public library, Omaha. Three Omaha women have recently ro- turned from the second meeting of the Woman's auxillary to the International Typographical union, held in Washington August 12, 13 and 14. Mrs. Frank A. Ken- nedy of 22 Bouth Eighteenth street being the president of the organization. Mrs. H. G. Matthes of Omaha was also present as thaplain, and Mrs. Charles Mathews rep- resented the local auxillary as delegate. The auxillary was organized a year ago at Cincinnati, Mrs. Kennedy then being elected president and elected for a second term at the recent meeting. Mrs. Matthes declined to serve a second term as chap- lain. The organization now includes twenty- one branches and 1s composed exclusively of the wives, mothers or sisters of print- ers, thejr. object being to promote the in- terests of the Typographical union. To this end much substantial work was re- ported accomplished at the Washington meeting, the convention deciding that the special effort this year should be agitation for unfon-made and union-labeled goods, and for the Increase in the number and size of the auxiliaries. Another decision that wil] mean much to the women was the inauguratien of a general admission card upon the presentation of which auxillary members will be admitted to the meetings of other auxiliaries any place in the United States or Canada. Among other matters that came up for dlscussion was the estgb- lishment of an annex to the Printers' home at Colorado Bprings, where women might live. It was decided that the organization fs still too young for such an extensive un- dertaking and the matter was laid over until next year. Only once was the perfect barmony of the meeting threatened, and then not seriously, in the application for membership in the International of the Brooklyn (N. Y.) federation of wives of the various labor organizations of that city. ‘While the federation includes many print- ers’ wives, it is not composed of them ex- clusively, and this fact, in the opinion of the executive, barred them from member- ship. The insistence of the president of the federation to be admitted to the meetings caused some little difference of opinion, some feeling that granting her that privil- ege would be but courteous, but this she was denled on thé ground that none but officers and delegates to the conventlon could be admitted and no exception was considered advisable in the opinion of the majority. The next meeting will be held at St. Louls in conjunction with that of the International Typographical union. The following officers were elected to serve during the coming year: President, Mrs. F. A. Kennedy, Omaha, Neb.; secretary- treasurer, Mrs. Ed D. Donnell, Cincinnatl, O.; first vice president, Laura B. Gordon, ‘Washington, D. C.; second vice president, Mrs. Charles McKee, Indlanapolls, Ind.; third vice president, Mrs. Edward Bu- chanan, Nashville, Tenn.; fourth vice pres- ident, Mrs. C. C. Houston, Atlanta, Ga.; chaplain, Mrs. Cora Wandby, Rochester, N. Y.; gulde, Mrs. Lily Martin, St. Joseph, . The right of suffrage has been extended in the Isle of Man to unmarried women and widows on all insular affairs. Married women must continue, however, to be represented at the polls by their husbands. The September meeting of the Woman's Christian Temperance association will be held Tuesday, September 1, at 10 o'clock, in the parlor of the Young Men's Christian | assoctation. Unbeknown to the many club women of the city, who would have delighted in meeting her, Mrs. Mary Lockwood of Washington, D. C.. chalrman of the re- organization committee of the General Fed- eration, and one of the best known workers in the Interest of women at the national capital, was a guest in the vicinity of Omaha for several weeks recently, having visited Mrs. Guy Barton, her nlece, at Walnut Lodge, near Gilmore, and only returned to her home last week. Follow- ing the Milwaukee biennial, Mrs. Lockwood served as chairman of the committee ap- pointed to secure & new charter for the General Federation, and was among the most conspicuous women on the platform of the Los Angeles meeting. Though well past the meridian of life, Mrs. Lockwood retains & remarkable activity and interest in all affalrd of women, and because of her ability and experfence is constantly in demand by women's organizations all over the country, to bring their Interests before congress. When it was learned late last week that she was here, scattered as the club women are thers was a desire to en- tertain her, but it was then too late, as she left the city before they could com- municate with her. Owing to the scattering of the women the roster of the standing committee of the Towa Federation of Women's Clubs has not yet been issued. It is expected, how- ever, that it will be completed within the coming week, when it wil! be announced. Mrs. F. H. Cole, president of the Omaha Woman's club, has called a meeting of the committee appointed for the lecture to be given by Miss Jane Addams, the first week In October, to be held the club rooms on Tuesday morning 3 o'clock.
