Reports of the trans- actions of the meeting will be the business of importance at the local suffrage societies now, especially at the annual meeting of the Equal Fran- chise society Thursday at 3 o'clock in the Hotel Fontenelle baltroom. Mrs. W. E. Barkley, state president, is expected to be present and reports of the national suffrage convention held in Atlantic \City, will probably be given by the president, Mrs. Ji M. Metcalf. A story in the Hastings Daily Tribune about Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, national suffrage president, which for the effect, might just as well be printed of Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles, president of the Gen- eral Federation of Women's club, is repeated as fol- lows: “The woman who is conceded to be the fore- most person of her sex in America, descended from a day coach of the Northwestern train last night and stood hesitatingly on the platform, as if unde- cided what to do next. A Hastings business man who was there with his automobile to escort visiting delegates to the homes where they are to be en- tertained, approached her at once and asked: “Are you a-delegate to the Woman’s c¢lub convention?" The woman thus accosted might have answered: “No, I am not a delegate, but I am president of the International Suffrage Allizhce and also president of the National Suffrage association, I have been presi- dent of the International Council of Women, repre- senting more than 800,000 women, and I am here to speak to the suffragists and clubwomen of Ne- braska.” Instead of thus enlightening her interroga- tor the woman answered simply that she was Mrs! Catt and wished to be directed to a hotel. “Well, there are no frills about her,” remarked the man to a bystander after he had given her the information she desired.” Mrs. Catt said in a recent speech: “Neither the leaders in the movement nor tlie great majority of the rank and file are laboring under any delusions as to the true status of woman sui frage in this country today. Our victories this year m securing the endorsement of both the political parties have not blinded us to the fact that the still a tremendous battle to be fought. To | . our cause has won all the really important factors ot the country—the churches, the principal women's organizations, and recognition by the leading politi cal parties. Moreover, all the leading names in litera ture, art, philosophy, science and business are en rolled on our side. But we have not won the reac- tionaries. We have not won the illiterate. We have not won the powers of evil, and we all realize there must be one final battle between the forces of en- lightenment and progress and the forces of ignor- ance, evil, and tradition. We realize, too, that there is no room in our ranks for those who fear the con- flict or betray any evidence of showing the white feather.” The Associated Charities is planning to do bigger and better things this year than ever before. In ac- cordance with this purpose they plan to meet at luncheon at the University club Tuesday noon to discuss with Mrs. George Doane, president, the best means of relieving present conditions. The guests who have been invited to this luncheon are men and women who are interested in charitable work which will be of real account to Omaha. They are: Miss Hilda Hammer, Mesdames W. T. Page, George B Prinz, William Sears Poppleton, H. H. Baldridge, J. DeForest Richards, Barton Millard, Luther L Kountze, E. T. Swobe, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. George Messss, C. T. Kountze, David Baum, F. W.

LL the wealth of King Solomon’s mines had flowed forth td agom King Ak-Sar- Ben XXII, Mr. John Lee Webster, hi queen_consort, Miss Mary Megeath, ap the throng of loyal subjects who crowded the coronation chamber Friday evening. Resplendent in gold and silver were the king dnd queen,. surpassing all previous monarchs of their realm in the splendor of their costumes. Beautiful and stately were the special maids in their gowns of orchid.” Dgwn to the tiny fairy dancers the at- tendants of the queep were arrayed in garments of unequalled brilliance. { Omaha's stately matrons who glided here and there in the castle hall were exquisitely gowned in satins and iridescent materials combined with filmy tulle, Hosts of pretty young things in their fluffy, dainty frocks were a deflght to all eyes. 4 s¢ Lucile Bacon and Miss Alice Jaquith, the two brides, were the beautiful centers of animate groups in the boxes. Following the ball, they joined the gay company of supper guests at the Omaha club, Silver was the predominating color and ma- « terial, Slippers of silver, gowng of silver cloth, laces of silver, silver scarfs, silver ornaments, all set with glittering stones, were on every hand. Blended beautifully with the silver were the orchid shades, which may have been a reflection of the lights which played over the knightly revelers, or perhaps a tribute to the charming wife of the nation's chief executive, who has just been in our midst. More Fronic modistes affirm that the remarkablée demand or orchid materials this year is the reaction from the use of the pastel shades nsed last season, Strik- ing gowns of black and irideséent blues were seen not only on the matrons, but upon some of the hcnulifui maidens. Some gowns were bizarre crea- tions, lending a touch of interest to the gay throng. Pink and coral shades in hooped taffetas formed many of the most piquant and delightful gowns. None looked more tr:inly and beautiful than those gowned in white, With the triumphal entry and coronation of the | king and queen the winter social season has opened. ! Iirst events marking what promises to be a brilliant season are the marriages o? the two beautiful young society women whose approaching nuptials” have been celebratéd for the last two weeks. The last members of the bridal party of Miss Alice Jaquith arrived Saturday morning. The marriage of Miss Alice Jaquith took place last evening at 7:30 at St. Barnabas' church. From 7 o'clock, the West Sisters’ stinged quartet and Miss- Maude Grebe, organist, gave a delightful re- cital. Miss Madge West played several violin solos and Miss Grebe organ solos, At 2:30 the wedding party entered to the strains of the Lohengrin wed- ding march. On the altar were white lilies and palms and candles formed the decorations at the sides. On the pews were lilies of the valley and ferns. The ushers preceded the bridal party down the aisle, followed by Master Clifford K’Veiler, bearing the ring in a lily. He wore a dainty Kate Greena- way suit with long trousers of pink, and a white satin blouse edged with pink ruffles. Next came the bridesmaids in their exquisite gowns of rose pink satin, made short and draped low on the sides, where they were caught with the daintiest of French flowers, The skirts were caught s0 as to show petticoats of silver: lace. Silver adorned the front of the bodices and the sleeves were short Castle sleeves of tulle. They carried shepherdess staffs of white tied with Killarney roses and orchids. Their hats were, floppy-brimmed creations of tulle, without crowns, and banded with ¢ tulle. \In the order of their appearance they were: Miss Alice Roberts of Clcvc?nnd, 0O.: Miss Eugenie Patterson, Miss “Isabel Vinsonhaler, Miss Lucile Green of Indianapolis. The maid of honor, Miss Meliora Davis, followed; a beautiful figure in pale shell pink satin of simis lar make with the gowns of the maids, except that it was strikingly unornamented. A big loose sash bow with two ends crossed the back of the hodice, which was plain and tight and caught in front with some wonderful French flowers. One end of the sash lengthened, formed the train, The gowns of the maids had similar trains, The sleeves of her gown hung ofi her arm and were caught witli rose buds on the shoulder. Mrs. Clifford Weller, sister of the bride, and watron of honor, came next in a gown of heavy shimmery orchid satin, with skirt draped high am bodice and skirt orhamented with silver lace, Her wrain was similar to those of the other maids, ! Then came little Elinor Kountze, in a mina- ture gown of the rose-pink satin like that of th bridesmaids. It was draped high on the hips an caught up with French flowers to show a sgir! of tlesh chitfon, embroidered with siiver, ke Then came the beautiful bride, on the arm of ter brother, Arthur Jaquith, who gave her i marriage. Her gown was of cloth of silver with over-drape of chiffon, embroidered with silver ba kets. It was caught high on the sides. A four. a-half yard train fell from the shoulderd and lined with cloth of silver, A pointed bodice of silver cloth with upper part of chiffon and eme broidery of silver had long Castle sleeves. The long tulle veil was caught below the psyche knot of he: hair and held in place with a forehead band oi’ orange blessoms. She carried lilies of the valley and orchy i The veil was of the same length as the train. As the bridal pair knelt on a white fur rug, the Rev. Father Holsapple read the marriage lines.
