Already opening meeting dates are being announced and program committees are getting together to outline winter courses of study. Abandoning, in a measure, the study of opera, which has occupied its members for the last two years, the music department of the Omaha Woman's club, headed by Mrs. John E. Haarmann, has planned a most interesting course for this coming season. The programs will consist of comprehensive talks on vital musical subjects, with illastrations, by prominent Omaha musicians, Thomas J. Kelly has promised to come on from Chicago to give a talk on “The Psychology of Music,” Loretta De Lone on “The Origin and De- velopment of the Harp,” “The Harp as a Solo In- strument and as Part of the Orchestra;” Sigmund Landsberg, “Giving Public School Credits for Music Study” (something which is being done in New York City and in Lincoln, Neb.); Mrs. Millie Ryan,, “The Art of Singing,” and Henry Cox will talk on “The Orchestra.” American composers will be favored as much as possible in the department’s recital ‘work this season and for the open day program, it is planned to present the only old English’opera written, “The Bohemian Girf,” by Balfe. That greater attention is being directed to home topics is also demonstrated by the tact that the liter- ature department of the club, too, will devote itself to our own country. “American life and character as portrayed by present day writers” will be the sub- ject of discussion this year, according to the new Jeader, Mrs. A. L. Fernald. And absorbingly inter- esting it promises to be! Early Italian art will be studied by the art depart- ment, under the leadership of Mrs. C. J. Roberts, The dawn of Italian painting, the works of such masters as Giotto, Botticelli, Mantegna, the master of the Paduan school; Andrea del Sarto, and others, down to medieval Venice and the discussion of Ve- netian glass, Gothic architecture, the Venetian Renais- sance and its collapse, the Venice of today—these are suggestive of what is included in the study outline. Mrs. G. C. Bonner and Mrs. T. H. Tibbles will assist Mrs. Roberts. “Bind together your spare hours by the chord of some definite purpose,” the Benson Woman's club exhorts its members. To that end, they will study the immigration problem, Pan-Americanism, scx hygiene, music, drama, home economics and the conservation of birds. Mrs. F.. H. Cole, chairman of the scholarship trustees of the Nebraska Federation of Women’s clubs, has further announcements to make with re- gard to scholarships available for this year.” They are the Mary D. Stoddard scholarship, which pro- vides 2 loan of $50 per year for four years, and re- quires that the student nominated shall have been graduated at the Omaha High school, and recom- mended by the Omaha Woman’s club, and attend the Omaha university. University of Omaha: Provides free tuition for a four years’ course in domestic science and requires that the student accepting the scholarship shall com- plete the full four years' work, or refund tuition ac- cepted to date of resignation. Reasonable consider- ation to be given by trustees for unavoidable com- pliance with this special provision. It is also possible that applications may be con- sidered for Wesleyan University at Lincoln (condi- tions- of which are similar to those of Omaha uni- versity) and Nebraska Military academy at Lincoln, which provides board and tuition for four years. This gift is made by Colonel and Mrs. Hayward to whom applications should be made at once. The trustees have on hand several hundred dol- lars which may be loaned to students desiring to pursue work at the state university during the junior and senior years, or special technical work as a pro- fession. ; There is also one-half the Annie Reavis Gist musical scholarship fund ($100.00) in the treasury which may be loaned. Temperance agitation will be strong on Tuesday, when the Douglas county Woman’s Christian Tem- perance union holds its annual convention at Grace Methodist Episcopal church, Twenty-fifth and E streets, South Side. Over 100 delegates will be in attendance from the nine county unions. Elmer Thomas, Rev. J. W. Morris, Mrs. F. A, High, Mrs. John Blake, Mrs. M. McLaughlin, Mrs, €. E. Kull- hom and Miss Lillie Givens are on the convention program. 7 “The State Convention and What It May Mean to. Omaha” and be the subject for open discussion.

Be- tween three and four hundred delegates are ex- pected for this meeting, which will be attended by distinguished speakers and workers from all over the country. Sunday afternoon vesper services, conducted by the Young Women's Christian association, will be resumed this week for the winter months.
