This startling arraignment of women on the part of Miss Mary Shaw in the council chamber Friday evening, coupled with her assertion that-woman suffrage would bring about a greater understanding and closer feeling between women, has set some of our club women thinking. What about the factions in most of the large women's organizations in the city? Is the fact that many a worthy movement receives no support because of indifference, to say the least, to the woman who sponsors the movement proof of Miss Shaw’s statement? It is a rare treat Omaha club women are en- joying in the presence of Miss Shaw, for there are few women of the stage so identified with the things that club women love as Miss Shaw. This uoted exponent of Ibsen is a member of the drama committee of the General Federation of ‘Women's Clubs, and is especially devoted to ‘“‘the cause.” Fesides this, Miss Shaw is president of the Gamut ciub, a notable gathering of professional women in New York City. The drama section of the Association of Coi- legiate Alumnae entertained Miss Shaw at lunch- eon at the Commercial club Saturday, and the suf- tragists were fortunate enough to win her suffrage talk Friday evening. 'Drama league members are cndeavoring to secure Miss Shaw’s presence at the 1eeting Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the ecity hell, when Miss Kate A. McHugh, the president, will talk on “Dramatic Monoiogues,” illustrated bty Alfred Noyes’ ““The Mermaid Tavern.” Miss Autumn Davies, whose talk was announced for this date, will be heard later. A large party of suffragists have arranged to attend the Orpheum theater in a body Monday evening for Miss Shaw’'s performance. Both the Tuesday Morning Musical club and the Omaha Society of Fine Arts have dates taken this week. The musical organization presents Harold Bauer, pianist, at the Boyd theater Tues- day at 4 o'clock, and the Fine Arts society has two red letter days, Wednesday and Friday. Walter Scott Perry of Pratt institute, Brooklyn, will talk ¢n “The Taj Mahal—Its Art and Environment,” at the Hotel Fontenelle at 4 o'clock Wednesday, e#nd on Friday, at the same hour and place, he will tell about the Alhambra, the fairy palace of the Moors. Mr. Perry was the first person to be called by the late Charles Pratt, founder of the institute that bears his name, to assist him in the organiza- tion of this educational institution.

OMEN love men and children—they s ;‘; do not love each othor." e ik i MY PART TWO AMUSEMENTS PAGES ONE TO EIGHT OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 14, HAT rare combination, a debutante full of fun and gladness and still with serious- tinged thoughts is Mise Marion Towle, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs, John Towle, who makes her bow to soclety at a debut tea to be given Wednesday. Miss Towle is the second bud to be presented this season, Versatility is Miss Towle’s distinction. Of social accomplishments this charming young woman is a past mistress: She sings and plays and luves to dance; golf is her favorite sport. ' She doesn't care so much for tennis, although the “‘owles have a superior tennis court on the grounds of their home Neither has she yet cultivated the bridge fever, the most brilliant soclety diversion. Coupled with the natural propensity of youth fo enjoy life to the fullest, our sunny-haired debutante has a sensible, businesslike idea of things. She wants to do something or be some- th'ng other than the idle ornament of society and after being launched in society, plans to do some- thing worth while, 1915. Miss Marion Towle, Who is to Be Formally Presented ‘This Week, Has Many and Variegated Accomplish- ments that Are Sure to Make Her One of the Most Popular Members of Omaha’s Smart Set Miss Towle is devoted to the interests of her alma mater, Brownell Hall, and the alumnae &as- soclation of which she is the president. She is wbsorbingly interested in the new school bullding and as.#00n as the trustees announce the plan of their campalgn, Miss Towle and her association will take up the work outlined for them. Her executive abllity’ and’ capable qualities, with which one is immodiately impressed, will be put to good rervice. ‘e The Vuflu Nurse assoclation, of which our debutante’s mother 18 a director, is also nearby the heart of Miss Marfon, - “If T ¢an do anything to help this good work, I will do,” she says, “‘The’girl, with the Julia Marlowe dimple,” is the favorite deseription of this week’s debutante. Indeed that entrancing dimple, her sunny hair, eyes like the azure skies, prettily pink cheeks and queenly figure together with a truly regal carriage, ull go to make a collective loveliness joyful to en- counter. i Miss Towle and Miss Mary Megeath, the first Debutante Season is Now on in Full Blast | of the season’s buds, who was presented last Fri- day, are inseparable friends and companions, The two girls were together at the Towle summer place &t Tepee Lodge and had a gay time learning to ride horseback. Both young women were speclal malds to the Ak-Sar-Ben queen this year, After finishing at Brownell hall, Miss Towle pursued her studies further at Bradford academy, near Boston. THere, the bright-haired Omaha miss was the life of the school and was particularly interested in the theatricals. She took the lead- ing part in a production of “Robin Hood" and won the audience by her gay delineation of the jaunty hero. Bradford is known as a simple school fur girls, not conforming to the general idea of fin- ishing schools for fashionable young women and this so accorded with Miss Marion's tastes, that she elected to attend this institution in preference to all others. This simplicity of taste, which s cne of her distingulshing characteristics, will be carried out in all detalls of the debut at the ex- press wish of the “leading lady.” SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS.

A debutante will make her bow on Wednesday, Of late it would seem that there is more interest attaching to these debutantes than their mere coming out. They have surprised us quite frequently and st us to wondering if an inclination is not evidenc- ing itself among the younger set to take the pur- poses, of life just a ‘lttle more seriously than has hitherto been the habit of the smart ones. It is not sufficlent that the current year's Gueen of Ak-Sar-Ben is & student in New York; Lnt, now two popular girls, 'a first, the other a second year soclety girl, left for Chicago to take up the study of art. ; The continued activity of the Franco-Belgian Tielief soclety shows a similar trend upon the part of the matrons, The most graclous hostesses of Omaha are still “belging,” as New York society bhas smartly coined verb and participle forms to express the Belgian relief work, But soclety will “belge” differently this year from the way it “belged” last year. The work of the former season consisted largely of cutting, ap- portioning and sewing garments. The knitting will not be so much in evidence this year, the Bel- pian rellef officials having called upon the mem- bers of the association not to contribute so much of their labor as to give materials to provide em- }loyment for the women exiles. The Belgian and French needs are greatest for woolen, yarn and fabric' materials to make up into garments, “We are still collecting old kid gloves,” said an active worker of the association, “and the de- mand for old table linen to be made into lint is still urgent. Then, too, we are begging all we can reach to throw away no garment that has warmth in it and to send us pleces of carpet and old cotton cloth.” “I have been sending the Belgian women exiles woolen yarns,” said another worker. “I do not deny that it has made heavy drains upon my al- lowance, but it is taking nothing from local needs. “If T make a sacrifice of my own enjoyment and make less the sorrow of others, it is a personal matter wholly, concerning myself alone, If.I wish to practice self-denial, it is my privilege * Additional Society News on Next Page. g NOTHER white star week on the calendar!
