Society of American Widows, Crounse block, 7 p. m. e ROGRAMS for the two big state conven- 4 tions, to be held in Hastings the first week in October, that of thic Nebraska Woman Suffrage association and the Nebraska Fed- eration of Women's Clubs, are out, The suffragists meet for their thirty-sixth annual and the club women their twenty-first annual f “love meet.”” Hastings will entertain at the’ same ( 4 time the two biggest women of both national cr- ganizations, Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles of Los An- geles, who at the New York biennial was elected to succeed Mrs. Percy V. Pennybacker as president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, and Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt of New York, president of the International as well as the National Woman Suffrage association. A luncheon will be given for both national presi- dents on Tuesday, October 3, while both women will speak that same evening at the opening meeting of the federated woman’s clubs, perhaps thesfirst time the heads of these two big organizations have cver appeared on the same program. That Mrs. Cowles is a voter, since she is a California woman, and Mrs. Catt is not, it is interesting to note. Omaha women on the program will be Mrs. F. b H. Cole, chairman of the civil service reform depart- ment for the general federation, who speaks on “Women in Civil Service;” Mrs. C. W. Hayes, state legislative chairman; Mrs. K. R. J. Edholm, state health chairman; Mrs. E. M. Syfert, president of the % ™ Omaha Woman's club; Mrs. M. D. Cameron, state recording secretary; Mrs. F. J. Birss, who will lead a conference on “How to Make Our Cities More Effi cient;” Mrs. R. E. McKelvy, who will speak on the “Desirability of a Press Department.” Mrs. Cole will also give a report of the scholarship trustees. Monday, October 2, is the opening day of the suffrage convention, the big evening meeting to be addressed by Mrs. Catt. Mrs. W. E. Barkley, state president, will give the state suffragists some point- ers on a winning campaign. Mrs. E. M. Syfert, the president; Mrs. William Berry, Mrs. John W. Gill, Mrs. James Liddell, Mrs. F. J. Birss, Mrs. F. A. Howard and Mrs. David McGahey are the delegates to the federation meet- ing from the Omaha Woman's club. Benson's Woman's club will be represented by the president, Mrs. O. S. Brooks, and Mrs Trac the Woman's Club of the Railwa ', Service by Mrs. O. M. Jones and Mrs. J. / (‘ tinger, since the president, Mrs. R. L. Frantz, is / unable te attend. The Dundee Woman's club will f name its delegates at the meeting Wednesday. The South Side Woman’s club will send its president, Mrs. P. J. Farrell, Mrs. J. B. Watkins, Mrs. R. P Falkner and Mrs. N. M. Graham. Lists of delegates to the suffrage convention are also well-nigh completed. Mrs. R. E. McKelv president; Dr. Fay, Mesdames George C. Covell, C. S. Hartwick, A. O.

Equal Franchise society will hold its annual meet- ¢ ing at the Hotel Fontenelle Thursday, October t L 3 o'clock. This will be one of the important fail meetings. Mrs. W. E. Barkley, state suffrage presi 4 dent, will be present, and reports will be given of both the national suffrage convention held at At- lantic City and the state meeting as well. The Political Equality league will be represented ; by Mrs. F. D. Wead, its president; Mrs. Myrtle ) Kelly, Miss Belle Dewey and others, & Local Women'’s Christian Temperance unions en tertained the largest state convention that has ever been held, last week, at the First Christian church The convention exceeded by 100 delegatés any pre- vious state meeting, over 300 being the total. The church was crowded for every session, especially in the evening, when young people took part in the pro- gram. The ‘presence of Mrs. William Jennings ki . Bryan, wife of the former sccretary of state, who » has espoused the temperance cause so strongly, lent additional interest to the meeting. Mrs. Bryan was | elected delegate-at-large to the national temperance convention in Indiamapolis in November Such a graceful, diplomatic and capable executive as Mrs. Mamie M. Claflin of University Place has seldom presided over such a large body of women in Omaha. Mrs. Claflin was re-elected to the presi- dency, as were all of the state officers but one.

UPPOSE your name tvas Miss Rhodes and you were attending high school, where you were constantly being confused with a Miss Rhoades. Of course you would insist on letting everyone knew that your name was Mildred Rhodes, but wouldn't you be sur- prised to learn that the other young lady’s name was Mildred Rhoades also? Then, when in desperation you insisted on being called by your full name, Mil- dred Bernice Rhodes, wouldn't 'you be absolutely flabbergasted to_know that the other young lady’s name was Mildréd Bernice Rhoades as well? This is the situation which confronted the two girls, Mildred Rhodes and Mildred Rhoades, the whole year they spent in Central High school to- gether. Both are the daughters of well-known Omahans, but they bear no relation whatever to each other. Mildred Rhoades is the daughter of W. E. Rhoades and Mildred Rhodes is the daughter of W. H. Rhodes. 4 Aside from a near similarity in the fathers’ in- itials, the fathers of the two Mildreds are engaged in somewhat the same line of business. Mr, Rhodes buys and sells banks and bank stocks, while Mr, Rhoades is connected with the United States Na- tional bank. You can't distinguish the two Mildreds by tell- ing which organizations their mothers belong to, either. It is a queer coincidence that both Mrs, Rhodes and Mrs. Rhoades are members of the Fine Arts society, Visiting Nurse association, Old People’s home and Young Women’s Christian asso= ciation, The young ladies are rejoicing in the fact that this year they may perhaps preserve their own identity, because Mildred Bernice Rhoades is going away to Smith college, while Mildred Bernice Rhodes will attend Brownell hall, where she is presie dent of the senior class, . Most of the young people are now safely set ‘ to work in colleges, boarding schools, preparatory schools and high schools, and the grown-ups are left to their own devices. The first important event, of course, is Ak-Sar-Ben, Tuesday the big annual circus will begin. Already the stores have put on their festive habiliments, the crowds are beginning to gather and the air is fllled with anticipation, Carnival will reign until Saturday, October 7. Dur- ing this time carnival parties will be ‘the order. Theater parties will follow the parades and numer- ous guests will be entertained in the homes of welle known people. The ball on Friday evening and the masked ball on Saturday evening will be the cul- mination of the fall jubilee. Then all hidden things will be revealed and joy will reign in\ the realm of King Ak-Sar-Ben over the accession to the throne of another regal queen and king. Wedding affairs and weddings are filling the autumn air. This week will see the climax of three school romances. On Tuesday, Miss Helen Heaton and Mr. Merrill Rohrbaugh will be united in marriage. Mr. Rohrbaugh is prominent in fra- ternity circles, as is also Mr, Searle Holmes, whose marriage will take place the following day. On Saturday will occur the marriage of the Rev, George A. Percival and Miss Jean Hamilton, T marriage of Dr. Francis A. Brogan to Miss Mary Cleo Rice, daughter of Judge and Mrs. Ben~ jamin Herbert Rice, will take place on Tuesday. Llach of these weddings will take place out of town. The Rohrbaugh-Heaton wedding will take place in Wahoo, Neb., the marriage ceremony of Mr, Searle Holmes will be performed in Lansing, Mich., the marriage of Rev. Mr. Percival and Miss Hamilton will be solemnized in Peoria, IIl, and the Brogan~ Rice wedding will be celebrated at the home of the bride's parents in Austin, Tex. Miss Leona Schoup of Council Bluffs and Mr. Sherman McCaffery will be united in marriage Sate urday of this week in Council Bluffs at a large church wedding. The Doyle-Lewis wedding, on Monday, and the Carruthers-Britton wedding, on Wednes- day, are other events of the week. This week we bid farewell to the Country clubs nother season. We have had many joyous in them this warm summer and we pronounce fervently the words, “Requiescat in pace.” (Additional Seciety News on Next Page)
