Her headquarters will probably be at Minneapolis, which will take her away from Omaha. The new office is an imporfant one, as it is the medium be- tween the territory and the national board The territory is large and the local prob- lems peculiar to each city, which necessi- na in touch than the national board could possibly be. By those unfamiliar with the organiza- tion, the national department secretaries and the national fleld secretaries have been do come with specific departments of work and upon call to any part of the country.

This office she declined because &he felt abligated to remain with the Omaha assoclation until its new building was completed and the work in shape so that It might be taken up by another without confusion.

INVITATIONS BY TELEPHONE They May Be So Extended Eve the More Formal Occa- stons Now. for Invitations which once upon a time would have been written formally may now be glven over a telephone, 80 much a part of ment become, and women who' first ob- jected to it as a method of social inter- course have now found they are spared the suspense of waiting for a reply, as they must whep sending a note, and that in the time thus galned they may immed- lately supply the place of & person who is unable to accept. But formality is not entirely thrown away even when a telephone is used, for a women recelving such an invitation, and accepting, is supposed to follow her verbal acceptance with a note of assurance. This must read as formally as though she were replying to a formal note, and in it is she must reps vited. Under no consideration are such details as time omitted when repiying to a telephone invitation, for they are the point of the note and thelr repetition is to pre- vent any misunderstanding In time may occur by word of mouth.
