REPAREDNESS and “Early Christmas Shopping” having been diaped in the club woman's car for lo, these many days, the wise ones of them have gotten together and flooded the calendar with Christmas sales and Christmas bazars where one may finds loads of dainty handiwork to bestow as gifts and at the same time fatten the purse of this church society or that aid organization or this other club which needs money in order to carry.on its activities. The first week of December brings at least a half- score of Christmas sales and these will continue on up to the red letter day, besides the largest display of them all, the seventh annual Christmas sale to be held in the rotunda of The Bee building, in space donated by The Bee company. For two weeks be- ginning Monday, women of twenty-four different churches will have their wares, embroidered, crp- cheted, tatted handiwork, hand-painted china, aprons and good things 0 eat on sale. Booths will be erected to accommodate the articles for sale. Two bazars will be held at the Young Women's Christian association this week. The first one, Mon-, day evening at 7 o'clock, will be in charge of the sewing classes of the domestic’ arts department. Thursday, ay and Saturday, girls of the Koda Wicaca Campfire circle, whose leader is Miss Nell Ryan, will hold their sale, the proceeds to help de- fray camp expenses next summer as well as to per- mit the girls to do some charitable workthis Christ- mas-tide. | The girls will wear their ceremonial cos- tumes during the sale and will decorate in group colors. A tea and social afternoon will be combined with the Christmas sale Chapter B. K. of the P. E. O. sisterhood will hold Wednesday at the home of Mrs. John Turner Buchanan. Each P. E. O. chapter has been asked to raise between $300 and $500 to enter- tain the supreme convention in Omaha next year, and Chapter B. K., of which Mrs. Joseph C. Weeth is president, chose this manner to do . The Nurses’ Central club will house Thursday's Christmas sale, while Friday the scene shifts to the Society of American Widows' club rooms in the Crounse block. The Widows expect to launch a $30,000 building fund with this bazar. Of the large church bazars, the first will be that of the First Presbyterian church, Friday, at the parish house atdjoining the beautiful new church on Thirty-fourth and Farnam.

Monday cvtnini the Audi- torium boxes have all been taken for the . Fritz Kreisler concert, which is the third. number of the Associated Retailers’ opera and concert series, Society music lovers figure largely in the list of subscribers for the entire course of attraetions and so many others have taken * seats for tomorrow evening's performance that a large attendance of fashionables is assured. On Thanksgiving evening Kreisler played before 'a society audience at the Odeon in St. Louis, whefe he was received with the enthusiasm everywhere accorded the master violinist. Box holders for this concert are the same as for “Carmen” and “Il Trovatore,” with a few additions. They are Mr. and Mrs, Arthur Grittenden Smith, Mr, and Mrs. Louis C. Nash, Mr, and Mrs. Ward M. Burgess, Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Reed, Mr, and Mrs. . George Brandeis, Mr. and Mrs, O. C. Redick, Mr. and Mrs. W, R Foye, Mr. and Mrs, William Tracy Burns, Mrs. T. L. Kimball, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Thomas Kountze, Dr. and Mrs. B. B. Davis, Mr. and Mrs. George Bernhard Prinz, Mr. and Mrs. Luther L. Kountze, Mr. and Mrs. George A. Hoag+ land, Mr. and Mrs. William A, Redick and Dr. and Mrs. J. E. Summers, dom does society have such a pleasure and privilege as will be theirs Tuesday afternoon when the Tuesday Morning Musical club presents two of our city's begt known matrons and a popular Lincoln musician _in recital at the Brandeis theater. Mrs. Alanson I. Root and_Mrs. Ludovic F. Crofoot are two of the best known and most talented of Omaha’s non<professional musicians. Mrs. Root was formerly Miss Augusta Lehmann of this city and her voice was discovered when she was about 18 years of age. In Chicago where, among other places, she studied, she created a sensation in the musical world. Hers is one of the finest contralto voices in the city, Mrs. Root is a devoted wife and mother, although as a concert singer she might have attained great prominence, had she chosen to de- vote her life to that work. She rarely sings in public, but prefers to share her gift with her ifti- mate friends. Mrs. €rofoot, as Miss Mary Nash, also of Omaha, gave great musical promise and had she so chosen might have distinguished herself as has her talented sister, Miss Frances Nash. She has played for the most part before audiences composefl of members of the: Tuesday .Morning Musical club and at the Academy of the Sacred Heart. Mrs. Lillian Helms Polley of Lincoln will be remembered with pleasure’ by Tuesday Morning Musical club members, for she sang here before the club several years ago. Her voice is soprano. Saturday afternoon the Junior Musical club will give its first little musicale of the year at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. F. White, when their daughter, Virginia, will act as hostess. Miss Virginia Pixley daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Pixley, a pupil of Miss Emily Cleve, is president of the club, and Miss Gladys E. Mickel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George 2. Mickel, a pupil of Henry Cox, is secretary. These voung people’are probably the most faithful music students in the city, for membership in their club requires a certain amount of regular practice and participation in their frequent recitals. So much talk of Christmas things minds us that the holidays draw on apace. Two more dates have been added this week to the list of Christmas gay= eties planned for the young folk home for the holi- days. Mr. and Mrs. A. V. Kinsler will give a dane- ing party at the Fontenelle on Friday evening, De~ ber 29, for the members of the younger set. The ming the Maltese club of Central High ol is planning a party at the Blackstone. The Saturday before Christmas Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Jarker will give a dancing party at the Blackstone for their daughter, Elizabeth, who returns from school in Los Angtles, December 18, ‘The Franco-Belgian Relief society card“party is alrcady a glorious thing of the past. Over 500 tickets for the big affair were sold. Women came from all the neighboring hamlets to heip the worthy cause and to take their chance at the beautiful prizes which Mrs. John A. McShane had solicited from the gererous merchants of the city. Last week was a dancing week. All the dancing clubs of the city had Thanksgiving affairs, the Omaha club supper dance on the eve of Turkey day, the Junior club dance on the following evening, the University club dance Saturday evening, the \x'czkl end Dancing club’s party and others too numerouns to mention were notable events. It does. seem toa Lad that one can say so little about a dancing party! t e a brilliant occasion, but what more, pray an one tell? This week one of the pretty ances will be given by the Al Saints Altar at the parish house Wednesday eveni-j tell i \
