The address and recommendations of Mrs, Percy V. Pennybacker, the federation president, impresses clubwomen all over the country for its timely and wise consideration of important issues of the day. A world-wide movement by women to harmonize the natioris, the first step in internationalism to be taken by our women by calling together a great con- gress of women of the Americas; a continuance ‘of effort along the lines of improvement of rural life and the Americanization of the immigrant; a study of Latin-American peoples with the view of helping in the development of Pan-American relations; and a survey and plan of action in the motion picture problem are among the recommendations of Mrs. Pennybacker. Mrs. Pennybacker also voiced a warning of cer- tain dangers which she declared confronted the fed- eration. One is the constant temptation for the fed- eration to be exploited for commercial purposes and the second she described as “lack of continuity of effort.” Politics, too, are ever of interest as well as the social side of the biennial I'he Nebraska delega- tion refused to commit itself before the departure as to which candidate it would support, but Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles of California seems to be the most likely candidate to receive the suppurt of this dis- trict, both because she is a western woman and i8 acquainted with a number of Nebraska women, hay ing been enter hed here in Omaha at the home of Mrs. Frederick H.

Society is strictly the play part of life, demandin, solely to be amused,. When once so wefi grounded that there are no further fears of failure in exclusiveness, it is perfectly free to take what amuses it—being the “real thing,” It stands for what it is, all quite past the care-taking stages of the sec- ondary period It has often been a puzzle to some rich outland ars who tried and failed to land in New York or some other older center—they could not understand it, while on the other hand another townsman of theirs, without special pretenses or money, was “taken up.” But the social “pick-up” had something new to offer, and it had been presented in a fetching way, while the perfectly good “turn-down= had only the good clothes, the nice manners and the money. This is a trained state of development, a cultiva- tion of taste that gets beyond the desire for the sweets—it must have the stinging, the bitter, the pungent, the thrilling, the shocking. Caviar is not for the bear or the savage—they preter honey To meet this super-cultivated demand of our exquisite Flagellants, there is a precious little army of Johnnies-on-the , all ready (o give society in the tertiary what it wants, no honey- pots, no su i their hands, but mnstead they come « art drawing rooms and select lecture cham vith their clubs, axes, hammers, tongs, pitch-forks and scalping knives, intellectual, ethical Hun A short time passed, a lecturer isited Omaha wit of erystalize of the old s « tongue like honey and t sugar—the lecturer told selected audi- e of the richest women in town how perfectly rich women are; how unselfish; how overs | in their altruistic labors veen the two lecturers is the great chasm that parat two periods.
