JANDING Room Only"” promises to be the sign hauled out Monday afternoon at the Omaha Woman's club, when the home eco- nomics department, headed by Mrs. F. J. Barnett presents the ppen day program. A novel idea for women's clubs, a miniature style show, will be put on, following the business meet- ing of the club proper. “The Fall of 1916” is the caption and Carroll R. Belden will be the stage director, furnishing fascinating garments, chapeaux and novelty accessories, as well as living models, to make the show a great success. The setting will be a handsomely-appointed library. Since no woman, club or otherwise, can with- stand the temptation of a fashion showing, the in* novation, the change from the usual run of musical numbers amtt lectures will doubtless bring out the whole club membership. Not wholly frivolous, however, is the valuable time given over to raiment exhibit. It is in line with the General Federation of Women'’s clubs’ dis- cussion of the question of dress reform at the bien- nial convention in New York, when Lady Duff Gor- don, Beatrice Forbes Robertson and other advocates of a change in woman’s manner of attire took up a large part of the convention program. Then, too, “Food, Shelter and Raiment” is the general subject for the home economics department work this year, and so the highly important topic was chosen for the open meeting. b The diversion is especially welcomed after the strenuous work of week before last, preparing for the Syrian war sufferers’ relief by means of a “flower day” safe, conducted by Woman’s club members. It was a big work to engage in on such short ad- vance notice, but the club members responded will- ingly and were able to raise $1,200 to add to the fund. Mrs. Thomas Brown served as chairman, and « Miss Katherine Worley, secretary of the committee. \Fervent letters of thanks have been sent to the club through the president, Mrs. E.\ M. Syfert, by local Syrians._in appreciation of the women’s efforts. Monday is also the day for the Vassar club’s lecture on “The Spirit of Modern English Litera- ture,” to be given by John Cowper Powys, the Fine Arts’ society lecturer of last year. Mrs. Arthur Guiou, president of the local Vassar club, will intro- duce the speaker at the Brandeis theater at 4 o’clock. Box parties will,be numerous and the whole lower floor has already been taken. The receipts will swell the Vassar college endowment fund. Omaha women who felt cheated out of a great pleasure when the Hughes Women’s Alliance cam- paign train steamed through Omaha Thursday, stop- ping but a scant two minutes, will be interested to know why several of the noted women aboard the Hughes' special are for him. Here are the testi- monials of a few of them: Mrs. George Harvey—"I am for Hughes because he means what he says and because he has real con- victions and the courage to maintain them.” Frances A. Kellar—“I am for Hughes because he keeps his word and makes no promises he does not fully intend to keep. No man will ever enter the White House so free from any pre-election pledges and promises as Mr. Hughes—he has made none. Every issue and appointment will be decided strictly on the merits and from the standpoint of America’s swapqod Dr. Katherine B. Davis—"“Because I believe that the time has come for a decided strengthening of the federal government—a central power—as over ®against the power of the individual states, just so far as it is possible to stretch the interpretation of the constitution in this direction. This means the - federal interpretation rather than_the Jeffersonian interpretation. Wilson had the Tatter type of gmind —Hughes, I believe, the former.” Mary Antin—"Among other reasons I want Mr. Hughes in Washington in order that the United States, as a whole, shall assume guardianship over the immigrants—our adopted children. Mrs. William Curtis Demorest—"I know Mr. Hughes well as a hushand and father, and, know- ing his loyalty to both, T feel he will give all the strength of his fine manhood to the interests of women and our great country.” Helen Varick Boswell—“I am for Charles E. Hughes because he is the candidate of the repub- lican party, which I believe has made the country what it is—industrially and socially. T believe the foundation of real pro ity and peace for America is in republican victory Rheta Childe Dorr—"I'm strong for Hughes be- cause of his attitude toward women- He gives his girls college education just as if they were boys, in- stead of making ‘society buds' of them. He appreci- ates their power, has confidence in them.” g B‘ Elizabeth Cutting—“Because he will uphold the % national honor as he has his personal integrity. 3 Mrs. ‘Maude Howe Elliott—"Because he under- | stands, as no other leader today understands it, that ‘ the one word that can solve the riddle of the twen- tieth century sphinx is. co-operation. He sees Mant Hercu strong country lying, like o y dreadful knov that 1 for in those hands to strangle both venomous beas Pqppol ton Hes 5.5 Coldwel OMAHA, §UNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER CLUBDOM | Tuesday Morning Musical Club Leaders Who .

Dr., Powys has just been heard in lectures in Kansas City. -~ < The members of the club who will meet Dr. Powys at luncheon if he arrives in time are Mes- dames Warren Blackwell, W. C. Shannon, Myles Standish, G. E. Haverstick, Samuel Rees, jr.; Rob- ert Updike, Lloyd Osborne, Isidor Ziegler and Misses May S. Copeland, Mona Cowell, Josephine Congdon and Margaret Bruce. Dr. Powys is said to be an indehligabl} worker. He never relaxes and has little social life.” It i# told of him that if he enters a hotel with perhaps an hour intervening between his arrival and his next lecture, he wastes no time in resting or loitering, but goes immediately to the writing room and sets to work. His literary output is considered tremen- dous. Since the time of his lecture here last March he has published four books of entirely different character. Just before his lecture here “Wooden . Stones” appeared. Since that he has published a book of poems entitled “Wolf Bane," “Rodmoor,” a novel; a book of essays called “Suspended Judg- ment” and a commentary on “One Hundred Best Books,” which is said to be very popufar in schools. Mrs, C. C. Geotge has taken the first box for the Thursday evening performance. She will pre- cede her hox party with a dinner. Oukrainsky and Pavley will be entertained at luncheon at the Fon- tenelle Thursday if they are open to social engage- ments, Both artists promise to be among the most interesting persons who have visited Omaha this season. The former is a member of the Russian nobility, a man of wealth and the owner a beau- tiful Paris home. > mmer is the visiting time for the young people. Wn‘f:“nu school duties to hamper them they flit about over our fair country, causing endless gaity. The grownups, however, usually find the summer too warm for visiting and such strenuous things, and wait until the late fall days to take their pleasure jaunts with relatives and old friends, Several visit- ing matrons have been the occasion for much infor- mal entertaining this week. Mrs. Ada M. Hertsche of Portland, Ore., who is spending some time with her sister, Mrs. J. M. Metcalf, has been honor guest at luncheons and bridge parties all during the week. Mrs. John Floyd Waggamon of Washington, who was with Mrs. Charles B. Keller until Thursday, shared honors at a number of affairs with Mrs. Hertsche. Mrs. E. A. Wurster of Milwaukee, who is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Charles Beaton, was another guest at several of these affairs. Some younger matrons are making quiet little visits in town. Mrs. Isaac Miller Raymond, jr, of Lincoln is visiting her parents, Dr. and Mrs. W. J. Connell. Mrs. J. J. Brown of Cincinnati is the popu- lar guest of Mrs. Edwin T. Swobe. Mrs. K. M. Donahue and her young son of Kansas City, who are visiting Mrs. Donahue’s aunt, Mrs, J. O. Siford, is much feated in pleasant informal fashion. Mrs. Marshall Walker of New York, who is now with her mother, Mrs. A. D. Marriott, has been the guest of honor at a number of pretty parties. Mrs, Arthur Griffis of Logansport, Ind,, has been another guest of the week for whom entertainments have been planned. Mrs. John Pullman of Nogales, Ariz., left Tuesday after an extended visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George M. Ribbell. Several young “women have been giving the hostesses a lovely reason for entertaining. Miss Anita Carrington’ of New Haven, Conn., is the charming guest at the F. H. Davis home. Miss Mary Lee of Chicago, who has been with Mrs. Cla: ence Sibbernsen since Ak-Sar-Ben, is frequently en- tertained, and Miss Winifred Hicks of Duluth, Minn, is another Ak-Sar-Ben Yvisitor, who pro- fonged her visit until this week.
