UST what it means to be president of a large woman’s club of perhaps 300 to 400 members; or even more, so far as expenditure of time, thought, effort and strength is concerned, the ayprage woman seldom stops to realizée. The Tuesday Morning Musical club, the Omaha Society of Fine Arts and the Association of Collegiate Alumnae are such organizations, but' the greatest tax of all, it is agreed, falls upon the presi- dent of the Omaha Woman's club, whose nine de- partments hold meetings each fortnight, some each week, besides the big meeting of the club proper. Not' specialized, but generalizing, is the work of thig organization, its interests touching upos. al- most every phase of civic, economic, philanthropic and educational work. Maintaining a wafthful eye on the programs of each Mepartment, as well as ex- ecuting the work which falls naturally to the head of the club proper, attending as many departmental meetings as she possibly can, listening to pleas, propositions, claims and suggestions for probable lines of work, all fall to the lot of the club executive. A systematic, businesslike outlining of the day’s program and a strict adherence to it, was the solu- tion hit upon by Mrs. E. M. Syfert, now president of the Woman's tlub. Incorporated therefor in the club_manuel under the title “Special Notices,” Mrs. Syfert made this insertion: “The presidant will receive télephone calls per- taining to club business each morning from 8 until 10 o’clock, except Monday mornings of. the reguldr club day.. Members will please limit their conver- sations to three minutes. “On,_ the mornings of the regular club day she re- cording secretary will receive all calls intended for the president. “The president will be at home to club members from 2:30 until 6 o'¢lock on the following Friday afternoons: October 20, November 3 and 17, De- cember 1 and 15, Jarfuary 12 and 26, February 9 and 23, March 9 and 23 and April 6 and 20.” &) The need for-making these rulings is proof that a woman’s club today is a businesslike proposition, not a tea-sipping, gossiping, effortless group of women., Looming up above all women's interests for. the week is the entertainment by local women of the Women's Hughes Alliance train Saturday between the hours of 1 and 3 o'clock. A reception at the Hotel Fontcnc(llc and street speethes have already been arranged ‘for the party on the campaign special. Mary Antin, Mrs. Charles Summer Birdl,) Helen Var- ick Boswell, Elizabeth Cutting, Dr. Katherine Be- ment Davis, Mrs. William Curtis Demorest, Rheta Childe Dorr, Mrs. William Einstein, Mrs. George Harvey, Mrs. Nejson Henry, Mrs. Alexander Kohut, Mrs. Randell -Le “Boeuf, Mrs. R. Livingston Beeck- man, Mrs, Maud Howe Elliott, Mrs. Frank Mebane, Miss Maude Miner, Mrs. Henry Moskowitz, Mrs. Gifford Pinchot, Mrs. Nelson O'Shaughnessy, Mrs. Travis Whitney are among the ‘eastern women, principally from New York, who are on the train. “Mrs. George W. Stevens of Toledo, Miss Harriet Vittum, Mrs. William Severin and Mrs. Raymond Robing of Chicago, and Dr. Katherine Edsof, Mrs. Frank Gibson of California are also included in the party. Miss Elizabeth Freeman, the advance repre- sentative, who was here several weeks ago, will be -w with the party again. “Why women are for Hughes," is explained by these women as follows: s “1. Because he has always stood for the rights and privileges of the rank and file ¢itizen. This is proved by his public service regulation, his election reforms, his labor laws, etc., as governor of New York. +7* Because he gave New York the mosf signifi- cant labor legislation ever secured by a governor in any state in this country. No“fess than fifty- six significant labor laws were secured by kim. They included: p “Workmen's compensation—reifoving the bur- dent of industrial accident from the workman and distributing it among employer, employe and the public. “Protection of children in industry. “Bett actory inspection. “Better factory conditions. “Industrial education. 3 “A state policy and many state laws for the protection of ignorant aliens, - écause he came out unequivocally for the amendment “ 4.

Nearly all box holders .will occupy their boxes both on the opening night and on Tuesday evening, and will entertain at in- formal suppers after the opera. Since Mr. and Mrs. George Brandeis are out of the city, their box will probably be unoccupied. Mrs, Charles T. Kountze 15 expected to return from Minneapolis in time to attend the ‘opening number of the Associated Re- tailers’ Opera and Concert Course. A great many s;coplc are specially interested in heariig Geraldine Farrar in Carmen, the role she is said to have made peculiarly her own, so that the opening night will no doubt see society out en masse. “Il Trovatore, however, is an old favorite and will draw many be- cause of its musical charms, The events which will keep us, so busy this week are only the beginning of the strcam of things that will absorb society's interest later in the winter. Monday of next week John Cowper Powys is to lecture here under the auspices of the Vassar club, When Mr. Powys was in Omaha last winter under the auspices of the Fine Arts society everyone was alive with interest in his talks. Dr. Powys will speak at 4 o'clock at the Brandeis' theater a week from tomorrow. Following close up the Véssar club's program will come the first attraction which the Tuesday Morning Musical club is bringing. ‘Thursday of next week the company of Russian dancers, accom- panied by a symphony orchestra and Miss Margaret Jarman, contralto, will agppear at'the Brandeis the- ater in the evening, For some time after that we will all be in an unsettled state quite out of keeping with any social activity. The throes of a critical presidential elec- tion will be upon us, and every thought will' turn in that direction. The Omaha and University. clubs will be the scenes of numerous supper parties, which will be prolonged until election returns received aver private wires have offered the temporary solution of the knotty problem which is occupying our men and women alike. Never have so many women been interested in politics as this year. The suffragists and the anti-suffragists are equally active and con- spicuous in this campaign. Theé common interest of greeting women who are and will be the first of our land has brought the issue home to everyone and has set all our society women into deep discus- sions of the great questions of government, When the presidential candidates have been safe« ly pigeonholed it will be time to think of home-come ing youngsters, For the Thanksgiving and Christ- mas holidays a great many entertainments are being planned conditionally, The dancing party which Mr. and Mrs. Gottlieb Storz are giving December 27 for Miss Elsie and Mr. Robart Storz is the largest party yet announced. The c¢oming of the Yale Glee club on Friday of the same week will provide suffi- cient excitement to tife fair maidens of ®maha to recompense them for any dull days of the season. Two idings of interest in sorority circles are to be ci today. Kappa Alpha Theta girls came ov Lincoln yesterday for the marriage of Miss Louise Bedwell to Mr. Eugene Holland last evenir Tomoriow the members of Pi Beta Phi will make x| grimage to Cupid’s shrine, the occas sion being narriage of Miss Adele Davis, a very popular i Phi, to Mr. Robert Daniels.” This evening Or. and Mrs. \WW. M. Davis are entertaining the wed- ding party & ay evening supper at their home following the w g rehearsal, il Mrs. C. M. Wilhelm is chairman of the Nebraska 7 s Hughes Alliance. Others who are assist« in e arrangements to ‘entertain the visiting women are: Mrs, Howard Baldrige, Mrs, Edgare S 15 Mrs. Charles Kountze, Mrs. stor Rosewater, John L. Kennedy, Mrs. %ames Richardson, Mrs. Walter Page, Mrs. George >rinz, Mrs. Ward Burgess, Mrs. R. Beecher Howel Mrs. W. G. Ure and Miss Caroline' Dodge, P al (
