OLDING but one meeting, yet accomplish- = ing splendid results during the year, is the Omaha branch of the Needlework Guild of America, which has its annual display and distribution of garments, un- derwear, layettes, table linen, bed linen, nightgowns, comforters—in fact, all necessities of this sort, Wednesday and Thursday of this week at Jacobs’ Memorial hall. A loose organization, yes, but its members do loyal service and stand as one woman, so far as good work is concerned. Every year thousands of new, fresh garments and linens are oollected by the Needlework guild and distributed to needy families and institutions. The greatest number ever collected by the local guild in one year was about 5,000 garments, but this year 3,750 is the estimated number. Some of the women have been meeting in small groups at fre- quept intervals throughout the last year sewing on garments for this collection. S Wednesday morning at 11 n’c‘lock a business meeting and election of officers 'will take place. Whether or not the guild will co-operate with the Franco-Belgian Relief society as a body will be dis- cussed, but many of the members individually have already been doing great service in that organiza- tion. The Needlework guild has been co-operating with the Red Cross society since the outbreak of the war. Thursday afternoon there will be a recep- tion and the collection will be viewed priorsto its distribution. Mrs. §. J. Stubbs is president, Mrs. Milton B. Newman is vice president, Mrs. W. W. Carmichael secretary. and Mrs, George ]. Henderson treasurer of the guild. \ Mrs. Percy B, Pennybacker, the last president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, it was who urged bringing younger women-or daughters of club members into the ranks. Infusion of new blood, she urged, would be of inestimable value. Mrs. Mary 1. Creigh, vice president of the Omaha Woman's club, probably had this in mind when she advocated a “mothers and daughters’” day at last week's meeting of the club. Such a day will be ar- ranged in the near future. So far as known there are sixteen mothers whose > already joined the Woman's club. One, Mrs. David Belsley, has two daughters en- rolled, the M s May and Evaline. They are as follows: Mrs. F. B. Bryant Marjorie Bryant; Mrs. K. R. J. Edholm, Miss Camilla Edholm; Mrs, C. L. Hempel, Miss Hazel Hempel; Myrs, F. A. Howard, Miss Lola Howard; Mrs. Edward Phelan, Miss Helen Phelan; Mrs. James Liddell, Mrs. J. E. Pulver; Mrs. Frank Schnetz, Mrs. Everett §golspart; Mrs. August Specht, Mrs. .(): W. Malstrom; Mrs. W. Allis, rs. Jerome Lillie; Mrs. Esther Allen, Mrs. F. J. Birss; Mrs. Thomas Brown, Miss Dorothy Brown, Mrs." Lois Cochrane, Mrs. Franklin A. Shot- well; Mrs. T. R. Ward, Miss Edith Ward, and Mrs. J. W. Bedford, Mrs. Stella Bedford Wilson. The mother of Mrs. Frank L. Haller, Mrs. Caroline N. Lininger, is an hbnorary member of the club.

Every 'club, every theater, every movie house, alfnost every public place is making plans to com- municate election returns to its patrons. Where returns are there will socie? be also, you may know, for women must not stand on the streets in the midst of a howling, seething election mob. Therefore, out of deference to the fair sex, the gen- tlemen all will go to the Omaha club or one of the various places of amusement where returns will be received to while away the exciting moments before we learn that our next president will be Charles Evans Hughes. The dullest play will be stimulating that evening, the stupidest dance partner will be thrillingly in- teresting, because the biggest excitement of four years will be in the air. Americans could not get into a rut if they tried, could they, because frequent upheavals are ordained in their scheme?of life. Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Reed will entertain at the Orpheum, where they will have fourteen guests in two boxes. Mr. Luther Drake will have a party. The.Rotary club will hear returns at the Brandeis theater and may dance on the stage if they desire. Mr. and Mrs. W, J. Foye will have a party of eight at the Orpheum, as will also Judge and Mrs. W. D. McHugh, Mr. and Mrs. G. T. Porter and Mr. and Mrs, A. J. McMann. Dr, Leroy Crummer will have a party of seven. W, F. Harris will have ten guests and Miss N. Riley will have ten. Our next society bride, Miss Isabel Vinsonhaler, is coming in for her share of attention this week. Miss Mary Van Kleeck of Poughkeepsie, N. Y, is the only member of her bridal party who has yet arrived. Mr. Julian Thompson of Barnesville, Wis., a Yale classmate of Mr. John Caldwell, the gentle- man in the case, who is to act as one of the ushers, will arrive the first of the week to share in some of the festivities. Luncheons, dinners, theater and supper parties will follow one another in close suc- cession, concluding with the bridal dinner which Mr. and Mrs. Duncan M. Vinsonhaler give for the wedding party at-the Blackstone a week from Mon- day evening,"which has the distinction of being the first bridal dinner to be given in that new hotel. Two colleges will have alumni dinners in Omaha this week. The University of Chicago alumni, who will be in town for the Nebraska Teachers’ conven- tion the last of the week have planned a rouging dinner at the University club Thursday evening. Their big attraction will be Mr. Phil Allen of their dniversity’s German department, who is to.be im- ported from the Windy City especially for the oceasion. Friday evening the Bellevue college alumni who are in town for the same event will meet at teachers’ headquarters at the Rome for dinner in the large parlors. Their dinner last year at the University club proved so successful that this year's event fol- lowed. rst of the debutante affairs is Mrs. E. W. Dixon's tea of Thursday afternoon when Miss Carita O'Brien, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. O’Brien, makes her bow to society. Miss O'Brien is a versatile out-of-doors’ girl. She swims, she rows, she plays golf, she rides-horseback, she drives her own car, but dearest to her heart of all the sports, is tennis. Miss Q'Brien wields the racquet like a tennis professional, with great skill and dex- terity and while she has not played much in Omaha because she has been away at school for the most part, this week's debutante will be a formidable ozponent in next summer’s tennis tournament, it is opined. Miss O'Brien is a graduate of the Sacred Heart academy at Manhattanville, N. Y. where Miss Grace Allison also attended, but, prior to that she was a student at St. Mary’s college at Notre Dame. While devoted to the great out-of-doors and all the sports which make it so enjoyable, Misse O'Brien is mistress of the social graces as well. She plays the piano, she dances and she has a charm and*dig- Mty of-manner seldom met in younger girls these days. Miss O'Brien is of the blonde type with blue eyes and splendid coloring.
