It is significant, however, that the lines are not between suffrage and anti-suffrage. All parties and candidates have de- clarcd for the enfranchisement of women. The only ; difference is on the method by which suffrage shall ] be extended. IFollowing in the wake of these declarations, de- velopments are noted by the Woman's Journa as ] follows: “l.

AUSE a moment, curb for a short time your impatience to read of the doings of your fellow women, and lend an attentive ear to my humble preamble. The dreadiul mo- notony of summer society had been palling m me It worried me, 1 tormented me, 1 could not get away from the uncientiulness of it. What ideas | had had about society had proved out- rageous, wholly unnt to pass the national board of censorship; that 1s, they were not iminoral, but hope- lessly radical. 1 was driven to long for a column all my own, like the sportng editors Hjpodermic Needle, where, as he, I night unload all tue junk of my mind, the brilhant ideas which tlood my fertile brain. 1 was mn the veriest slough ot despond. Then, gentle reader, | met a person. She is the sister of the wife of a prominent Omala judge, but that has nothing to do with her charm. She is the most abundantly cheeriul person I ever met. Don't mistake nie, she 1s no nily, gentle creature who sits in a corner and smiles manely. Neither is she a boisterous person, with one of those much-admired hearty laugns. She has education and brains and a most untaihng sense ot humor. It was she who lifted me out of the dumps and gave me the heart to write all that remains for me to write until the social sea- son opens soon. What did she says You'll think it simple when I tell you, but it made a big difference to me I thought that there were only two facts to be realized avout society just now, they were the two self-evident conditions of society, the same two con- ditions which have furmshed such delectable gossip all summer long that they have been worn as thread- bare as a Brussels carpet on a living room floor. Society, as you can not but realize, is either at home or away from hime. Because of the heat those at home do very little to create newspaper talk, while those away trom home are furnishing copy for the society editors of other cities. But I know better now than I did before I met the cheerful person. Society is doing such a variety of things that it takes all the tenses of the verbs to express them. Listen—Society will go away, is going away, has gone away. Society will return, is returning, has returned. What more could you want? L am in spirits again, there is news a-plenty! When we first began to talk about the Western Circuit races, to be held in Omaha under the aus- pices of the Omaha Driving club, I thought, surely society will be interested, but will it be very enthu- siastic after having supported three such big sport- ing cvents, this summer, as the Stecher-Lewis wrestling match, the gasoline derby and the smaller, but just as well patronized, Wild West show? My expectations have been surpassed ten times. Society is waxing enthusiastic about the races. Our most prominent citizens are making box reservations every day until the list of supporters of the races is becoming a blue-blooded stream. The events will begin Tuesday and will last until Saturday, with feature races every day and a grand climax on Sat- urday. These events will occupy much of the time which would otherwise be devoted to luncheons, teas, picnics and dinners. Although we hear less of it, the swimming craze is still among us. [ heard a funny thing about a man with a pompadour the other day. He was a virile man, and refused to wear a rubber bathing cap to protect his hair. His friends heard him mut- tering gloomily on the bathing beach one evening and inquired the cause of his disturbance. “My pom- padour 1s driving me crazy,” he said, “I can’t do any- thing with it since I got it wet.” No more let mea laugh at the w 1 who has “just had a shampoo” and is bothered with soft, falling hair. He laughs hest who laughs last. py Hollow shou!d be the popular club on day ever f this week, because that time ee r a dinner-dance for the mar- peopl 1o oare newly married this is an opporturity to appear with due dignity as becomes an those o fave entered the state of connubial felies ity Those who are our fathers and mothers and uicles aunts and vouthful grandmothers and grat will all appear looking their charming- est aids and their swains will be obliged [ * on that occasion to more experienced liants than they.
