Most of the clubs which meet each week postponed their meetings until next week. Even the thea- ters have had a dull time, fewer parties being given than usual. Society people who spent the Lenten season in Omaha have entertained very little, but Indications are that a gay season !s ahead. Scores of people are buying their Easter bonnets today; In fact, the shops resemble a smart reception, with a long line of motor cars walting at the doors. Women shopping with their own cars are material assist- ance to the shop keepers, as they usually take thelr purchase home with then, whether it be a spool of thread or a hat, where they formerly had everything sent. And, by the way, this plan is. mutually agreeable, aa it avoids any possible con- fusion and insures accurate as well as prompt delivery.

Berka, Misses Alma Luedke, Eila Crosby, Mabel Casey, Bird Berka and May Berka One of the largest affairs given by the high school set during the Easter holi- days was the annual alumni dancing party which took place last evening at Chambers' academy. High school colors, purple and white, were used In all of the decorations and pennants for each class since * ‘01" outlined the balcony. The classes of 1908 and 1909 decorated two of the cozy corners, The dance programs were decorated in the purple and white and the dates 1880 ana 199 were printed on the covers, designat- ing the first alumni class and the last one organized. The entertainment committee included Messrs. Russell Lockwood, Rob- ert Finley and Chandler Trimble, Sam Car- rler led the grand march and about 100 guests were present. Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Bordwell enter- tained the Mistletoe Card club last even- ing at their home. The guests of the club were Mrs. A Hanson of Sioux City and Footwear OLD and silver cloth slippers have been fashionable for several years, but on account of thelr glitter have not been eatisfactory for the reason that thelr shiny surfaces made even small fect look large, and then, too, they were suitable for nonme but claborate toflets. Hence the popular- ity of the duller effects In steel and bronze, and the latter shade will be a declded favorite, owing to the pref- ercnce for all tones on the new pheasant calor. Bronz> will harmonize with a cos- tume of the lovely Soft pheasant browns, even to imparting the sheen soen on the feathers. The cloth of steel slippers is equally lovely and may be worn with a gown of almost any color. The toes of these dainty slippers are decorated with rosottes or bows of the same color as the cloth, that is, tiny buckles of gold metal on gold slippers and steel on steel, etc. Boots and shoes for dress wear this 'spring have patent leather vamps with ©cloth tops. All black is smarter than colored tops, though some women like white tops. Speaking of white, I am told white buckeiin will be worn this summer. It was tried last summer and found unsatisfactory. The brown and tan shades are con- @ldered good style for 1910, Pumps are as popular as cver and are to be bought In black, white and tan, strapped and plain, as tho wearer prefers. Laced sandals will bo used as dress #h They are fascinating and have a teklency to apparently decrease the size of the foot, because the toes are short. These arc made from the softest kid tor .1910 and decorated with the daintlest bead- ing in a shade that matches the color of the kid, so that while such foot- wear Is most beautiful, ft {8 by no means conspicuous and should be practical. Not less attractive are tha slippers in brocade. In this material only the dullest tones of deep copper, ol gold, ©0dd reddish shades and bronze greens are used. Elderly women as well as younger ones will undoubtedly find this lino of pretty footwear especlally sulted to their needs. A few changes are seen fin the styles of walking shoes. For example, the models in button and lace are not 80 high as those worn last spring, for the newest are only eleven and twelve- button length. Viel kid is the ap- proved leather for button and lace shoes intended for wear with tallored gowns; also tan calfskin oxfords, The new designs in low shoes are shapely on account of the wing tip finish. This gives a graceful curve to the foot, ‘while the. dainty plerced decora- tion adds beauty to the shoes. For afternoon wear patent leather vamps with black cloth tops are con- sldered correct for those who prefer high ones. Pumps will be worn with handsome afternoon gowns elther in black or brown shades. Gray will not be worn. The Cuban heel is still preforred to any other. It is in medium height and a little broader than formerly, thus giving more support to the feet. The helghts range from one and five- elghths Inches to one and seven- eighths inches. The French heel is used on some of the more elaborate slippers for even- ing wear.

The AVisdom of Amusement. The wise' woman will do well to remember In her daily round that: Amusements that encrodch on the hours sacred to sleep are forms of enjoyment to be censured. Amusements that take one away from necessary work are bound to be harmful, because they produce neglect of and un- | taithtulness to duty. Amusements that rouse or stimulate morbidity and produce unrest or dlscon- tent should always be avolded Any amusement that weakens spiritual | beltet or holds up the properties to mockery is the greatest form of injury 1 Wedding Bells Sweet Chimes Ring for Happy Couples Known in Omiha and An- nouncements of Others Are Made.

Hand embroldery and pretty laces are the dominant notes in many of the new blouses. % An odd fancy for the moment is the use on dressy toflets of belts of varnished leather. A new lace grenadine, more often called net than grenadine, is shown among the new materials. The soft serges and cashmere ars usod to bulld traveling costumes for the warm spring days. Narrow silk fringe is used to edge many of the new straw hats, the effect being to soften the face. Nets are again much liked for trans- parent undersieeves and guimpe purposes in the summer frocks. Billows of fluffy material and cobwebby laces enhance nearly every lingtrie frock now being shown. Vells for wear with Easter bonnets are many of them more extreme in the size of the mesh than ever. Shallow yokes of net, laco ¢r fine em- broideries are a feature of many of the new ‘dresses. Sleeves on the latest models are short.

[ "Woman’s Work 1 Activities of the Organized Bodles Along the Tines of Un- |~ @ertaxing of Conoern to Women. Omata has anoher new Women's Cl tian Temperance unfon. West Side unlon was organized Wednesday of this week by Mrs. George Covell, organizer for Dous- las county. The new union has twenty members, but expects almost as many more at the first regular meeting. which will be held Friday, April 1. Mrs. Pcarl Brady is the president; Mrs. J. Cunning: ham, first vice president; Mrs. Lola Dunn, second vice president; Mrs. James Steel, recording secretary; Mrs. Stella Frazell, treasurer, and Mrs. Mamle Frazell, corre- sponding secretary. Fort Crook unfon, an organization among the soldiers of the Sixteenth infantry, has grown to a membership of forty-two. Mrs. Covell also organized this union. She ex- pects to organize two other new unions in the near future. The membership of the Young Women's Christian assoclation I8 organizing for the greatest membership campalgn in its hi tory. “Make the Omaha assoclation the largest in the country” is the motto, and it each of the present 2,600 members gets but one additional member it will be nex: to the largest at least. March 31 is to b the big membership day and every office bullding and store in the city will be can- vassed for members. The residence dls- trict will also be solicited. Los Angeles now holds first place, having a-member- ship of 6,500. Indlanapolls comes next with 3,117, Pittsburg has 3,000; St. Louls, 3,060; Brooklyn, 3,000; Omaha, 2600; Buffalo, 2,659; Minneapolls, 2467; Cleveland, 3,418, and Detroit, 2,300, This gives Omaha sixth place. The local assoclation has long aspired to a member- ship of 8,000, but now ssts its aim at at least 5,000. The annual membership fec is §1. This entitles active members to ali | privileges of the bullding, including the |20 per cent discount on lunches. The priv- | lleges of the new bullding and the advan- | tages of membership are too well known t0 need recounting, but there are still many business women who have not yet availed themselves of them. The Nebraska Federation of Women's club’s year book for 1909-1910 will be mailed to the clubs of the state Friday of this week. For several years the year bool has been issued nearer the close than the beginning of the club year and has served during the following year until the .new book could be issued. The present admin- istration, or a majority of its members at least, believe the book should be issued as early in the year as possible that it may be a working guide for the clubs. Dr. Susan La Fleche Ficotte of Walthill will speak before the literature department of the Woman's club Wednesday afternoon on* Indian Folk Tales." Dr. Picotte s the daughter of the last chiet of the Omaha Indians and & woman of high education She represented her people at the recent confercnce at Washington and for some time was a practicing physiclan among them untll il health necessitated her giv- ing It up. She is at present serving as a missionary under the Presbyterian board among her people. The noon musicale given in the auditor- fum of the Young Women's Christian as- sociation Thursday attracted the usual large attendance. The program was given by Miss Mary Taylor, Miss Grace McBride and Mr. Sylvian Burkenroad. While few of the women who frequent the bullding at noon, can remaln for the entire program the musicales are among the most op- preciated diversions afforded by the as- soclation and are always well attended. The Women's Christian Temperance union of Lincoin cleared over §700 as a result of its national tag day, last S8aturday. Of this money $200 will go to the National and §600 to the local union. The National furnished the tags and other assistance. Omaha un- fons did not tag day as they have done their part in other ways.

WOMAN AS A SOCIAL SUCCESS Tact, that Rare Quality, Contrib- utes More Than y- thing Else, There 1 no quality more to be desiggd to make a woman a Soclal success than that of tact. Its possessor knows the rignt thing to do and the right time for doing it and thus gains a reputation for celeverness and for many virtues which a tactless person would never win from her circle of acqaintances, no matter how exceilent her qualities of both heart and head. The tactful woman is not only a patient listener, but she s & thoroughly gogd one. She shows no weariness even when she has heard the same story more than once from the same person, and she smiles in the right place, and appears to enjoy hearing jokes as much as her companion enjoys telling them, says Woman's Life. A tactful woman generally gets ner own way with her husband, and with other people, and yet in such a manner that people always suppose that they are fol- lowing thetr own and not her inclinations. The fact s that she knows when a man is approachable, and ltkely to be amenable to her wishes, and when It is best to leave him alone. Tact Is a weapon gulded with a multitude of precautions and feminine wiles, by the wise woman, and it is only the wise who possess it. LITTLE THINGi]_'O REMEMBER Points of Etiguette that Help Make the Well-Mannered Pgraon Popular, It is courteous to shake hands with a guest in your own house and many host- esses repeat the hand shaking when he leaves. It 1s only necessary to bcw an acknowl- edgement of an introduction, though shak- ing hands is cordial and not considered old- tashioned as formerly, A girl or younger woman should rise when an elder woman enters the room and remain standing until she is seated. It is customary fo rise to recelve a guest, whether it be man or women. The well bred girl is thoughtful of the comfort of older women. She sees when her handkerchief hes fallen and restores it, quietly shuts out a draft, footstool. These attentions must not be obtrusive or the older woman is annoyed. It mak her feel as if you thought her decrepit. If given quletly they are appreciated and the girl is liked for her good manners. Do not be too deferential to an older person. She will lke nothing better than for you to act as It of one age—provided you never grow rude or smarty in your manner. Never omit the courteous note ey call or brings a| Weinlander & Smith Ladies" Exclusive Furnishings 317 South 16th St. Striking New Tailored Waisis WHITE WAISTS ‘White linen tailored from $2.50 Up.

NEW EMBROIDERED BELTS Close French Knots and Dainty Sprays Are the Chosen Patterns. A new touch in embroldered belting is the use of jet beads and colored or erystal bugles in connection with an embroldery design, A spray of pink-white roses worked on white moire belting had as a center for each flower a jet cabuchon. A daisy de- sign worked In white or pale blue belting had yellow bugles for the center and' the stems were made of green bugle beads. The close French knot used to cover stamping, as In coral embroidery, is a quick and popular way to embrolder belts. Such a treatment may have satin stitch center with bead stems, or & mock jewel is used for the center, the stems outlined or worked In narrow over-and-over stich. Such belting will not wash, but it may be cleaned with cornmeal and gasoline mixed to a thin paste. SOCIETY LISTENS TO DEBATE Leaders of Fashionable Set Arran, Private Hearing of Suf- frage Question. At the request of Mrs. Egerton Win- throp and Mrs. Walter Maynard, active members of the Equal Franchise society, Mrs. Orme Wilson consented to give the use of her balireom for a suffrage debate Tuesday evening. Several members of the Equal Franchise soclety have felt that it would be of sistance to the suffrage cause If it were possible to hold an informal and private suffrage meeting, to not yet interested and enrolled in. the cause might be invited to come and listen to both sides of the question. Mrs, Wilson herself is not a suffragist. A list was made out by Mrs, Winthrop, Mrs. Maynard and Mrs. Mackay of tho to be invited, and it was arranged that Mrs. Bourke Cockran, Mrs, Winthrop, Mrs. Maynard, Mrs. Lydig and several others should give dinner parties and take thelr Suests to the debate. It was strictly a private meeting, through invitation only; no tickets were {ssued, The presiding officer was Miss Ida Tar- bell, the speakers for the suffrage side were Rev. Anna Shaw, president of the National Woman Suffrage association, and Prof. Louis Anspacher. The speakers of the anti-suffrage side were Mrs. Edward Hewitt and Willlam Scott. Meat Hints, When cutting meat to cook always across the grain of the fiber. Never wash fresh meat before roasting; serape it If necessary to clean it. It it has been wet or moist wipe it thoroughly dry before cooking. Never put meat directly on the ice; put it in a vessel on the ice: If you baste roast meats do not use salt in the basting. Salt the meat directly when partly cooked. In bolling put fresh meats in hot water and salt meats in cold water; boll both slowly. Never salt and pepper and butter after removing from the gridiron. An ordinary pan is good for brolling; heat hot, use no fat of any kind, put the meat flat on the pan, turn rapldly and often and you will find & “pan broll” good.
