Theodoala Garrison In Collier,
lyrve made this earth a garden spot
W hore maidens grow aa flower;
Methlnka man hath no fairer task
Than atrnlllng mid the bowers;
Tla hla within Ita bloom to baak
Or pluck from out the rent
One ree to flaunt within his cap
Or hide upon hla breaat.
Love made this earth a fragrant grove
Aj birds the maidens are
TV'lth each her own fair song of love
To call her mate afar.
And deaf to music would he prove
Who would not choose him one
Who alnps the song- that Blade him beat
And el hi to him 'alone.
Then Bin heigh ho. but love l good
Who wrought o fair a plan;
Th"se buds and birds of womanhood
To clad the life of man.
Ho gallants choose In merry mood
Kor soon comes winter's gloom
When never bird may alng for u
And never blooaom bloom.
This week's social activity will practically
center at the Field club, for on Monday
the Interstate Tennis tournament opens
there and will continue during the week,
and the man who does not belong there
or to the Country club will regret It. Of
course It does not make any difference with
the women, for they are always eligible
by Invitation, but for once being a man
will have Its disadvantages and It Is
said that there are several fellows
In aoclcty who have accepted no Invita
tions there this summer, anvlng them all J
for this week. Of course there are to be
a lot of people here from out of town. It
Is Bald that a whole bevy of girls are com
ing up from Lincoln for the week besides
those who are already here (not to speak
of the visiting men), and If this year la to
be judged y !aat there will be more stun
ning outing suits, promenading, dinners,
gcsslp and flirting than upon any previous
occasion of the aummer. There will be a
game morning and afternoon, but late In
the afternoon wl)l be the time when so
ciety will come out In force. Not that the
fashionables are consumed with Interest in
tennis, but the tournament affords excep
tional opportunltlea for things that society
does care for, and the late afternoon and
early evening will see them out In addi
tion to all of this the tournament commlt-i
tee has provided some extra features.
Among these la a duck drive, which will
occur Wednesday, but of this, more than
Its name and date, nothing Is known, for
the committee refuses to tell what Is in
store. Wednesday evening will doubtless
see the largest gathering of the week, un
less Saturday evening be excepted, on ac
count of the hops. Friday evening there
will be a smoker and dinner for the visit
ing men, and every other evening there
will be dinners and a crowd.
Three young women who are very much
In society sat down one morning last week
and counted up nineteen cases of devotion
sufficiently marked to warrant people's
expecting announcements. Of these, eight
have already announced the engagement
and three others the dates of their wed
dings. In four other cases society has
every reason to expect the wedding an
nouncement any day, for the trousseau
are being made, and there Is an Interesting
lot of chat afloat about conflicting dates
the latter part of October and early No
vember. Regarding the others there are
different degrees of certainty, and the last
fortnight has launched a fresh batch of
gossip that Involves two young women who
had previously been spared. It Is said the
men both live In Chicago. One of these
Is a brother of a girl who visited here last
spring, and for whom her hostess, and now
suspected prospective sister-in-law, gave
ever so many affnlrs that attracted atten
tion for being unique aa well as smart.
There have been a couple of visits to Chi
cago since then, and well, others have
been to Chicago, too, and that Is how It
got out, though the young woman's sister
I Insists the report Is all nonsense; that he
' Is simply an old-time friend of the family.
which may be all true enough, but does
not necessarily make the story Impossible.
As for the other girl, she, too. denies the
he Is engaged, but that proves nothing,
for no one really expects a girl to admit
uch things that Is where her parents'
part comes In and It Is about the only
thing they do have to say about such af
fairs now-a-days, too. At any rate, gossip
aye the story Is true, and the only thing
there Is to offset suspicion Is the fact that
out at the Country lub on the day of the
gymkhana a very well known man, who
has eluded the combined efforts of mothers
and daughters of Omaha and New Tork
for ever so many seasons, was her con
stant and devoted attendant.
And then there Is another quartet of un
announced certainties that has kept so
ciety guessing, but the fact Is that the men
In question, one a youngi doctor, another a
young lawyer, the third a young news
paper man, and the fourth Juat launched In
the brokerage business, are too experienced
in society to make the venture until their
business Is a little better established. As
for the rest of the people, to quote one
of the girls, "they don't act pleasant when
they are with anybody else, and they don't
deny It when they are accused of being
engaged."
At any rate, society la aure ot several
fashionable weddings this fall, whether
the number reaches nineteen or not.
Here Is what Town Topics says about
the dire possibilities that may befall an
army officer well known here In Omaha
who has thus far escaped capture: "A few
eligible young women lingering In the
vicinity of Chicago, especially in the Ken
wood set, are a-flutter over the visit of
gallant Captain Jack Pershlng, the young
army officer who made such a brilliant
record In the Mindanao Campaigns In the
Fhlllpplnes last winter He has been in
vallded home, and his '.eave of absence will
How him to remain until fall. He Is not
o 111 that he cannot participate In the
social life where he was once ao popular
and where he will Ndoubtless be more so
now."
Mr. W. P. Stlllman, who returned last
week from an excursion to the Commercial
Law league convention, is not so proud of
the growing baldness of his pate as he
was before he started. "On the boat up
to Mackinac we fe'l In with aome charm
ing people." relates Mr. Stlllman. "one
young married woman in particular, whose
grace and vivacity were specially attract
ive. Her husband waa on the boat with
' her. but he didn't seem to pay much at
tentloa to his wife, and aa my wife was
busy elsewhere the temptation of a chat
with her on deck waa irresistible. Strangely
she preferred to keep talking about her
husband and telling all tne fine points he
possessed. 8he went Into ecstacies over
hla virtues and laid emphatic stress on his
beautiful hair. 'Why,' she exclaimed. 'I
would lore hiut for bis hair a one. If he
should lose hie hair and become held
tfua't believe I could love him any more.'
Tou ought to see me at that pull down my
cap well over my ears. 1 was In mortal
fear all the rest of the voyage that I
would be caught somewhere with my hat
off."

Britain's Holer While Visit
ing; In London.
Mr. and Mrs. P. C. Heafy have returned
from a three months' trip to Europe, Into
which they crowded a large amount of
traveling and sightseeing. Going first to
Ireland they proceeded In a few days to
London, where they caught a glimpse of
King Edward In his carriage drawn by six
cream colored horse, and a close view rf
the Prince of Wales, who attended a din
ner one evening at the Hotel Cecil, where
they stopped. In Ireland, however, Mr.
Heafy says they found much more to In
terest them. It was' June 14, 1878, that he
left Ireland and June 14, 1903, exactly
twenty-five years later, all of which have
been spent In Omaha, that he again landed
on "the ould sod." He found conditions
greatly Improved, the people having be
come more prosperous In recent years on
account of improved land laws, and many
of them now being in condition to take
advantage of the bill by which tenant may
buy the land held by them.
After visiting his father, brother and
sister, and other relatives, Mr. and Mrs.
Heafy traveled through twenty-one of the
thirty-two counties In Ireland, and every
where found the warmest feeling existing
towards America and Americans. This
was especially noticeable In Dublin, where
they witnessed the big automobile races.
Whenever the American car, decorated
with the American flag, appeared It was
cheered with more enthusiasm than any
of the others. But much to the evident
regret of the crowd It made a particularly
poor showing.
Short visits were paid by Mr. and Mrs.
Heafy to Scotland and Wales, and they
then proceeded to Paris. What there most
Impressed Mr. Heafy were the catacombs,
where the bones ot X, M0. 000 people, taken
from cemeteries where publlo or other
buildings have been erected, are deposited.
They are piled in regular heaps and extend
for a distance of over seven miles.
The sea trip wss very pleasant and they
returned greatly Improved in health.

WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY
The special subject of education of
women Is considered by president J. M.
Taylor of Vassar college as follow In the
August number of World Work. He says
In opening:
The most slgnficant thing In connection
with the education of women Is the prodi
gious growth of the movement. No fig
ures that could be given can tell the story.
The advance la remarkable, not merely aa
compared with a generation ago, when the
higher education waa a comparatively new
question. Even within five years the In
crease of women students In America has
been so great as to suggest to the open
eyed nothing less than a glacial movement
In society. Women constitute nearly 30 per
cent of all our college students, speaking
now only of the really Important colleges
of the country; and women graduates of
these Institutions In the United States,
both coeducational and a woman's colleges,
number about 2U.000. one hss only to think
of the prodigious Influence of this element
In American life to see how significant it is.
President Taylor doe not go at length
Into a discussion of separate education and
coeducational, but he ays: "There can be
no doubt that women are purposing In an in
creasing degree to obtain, all the education
within their reach. When It 1 remembered
that more than half the pupil In our ec
ondary schools, and a still larger propor
tion of the graduates, are girls, the mighty
Importance of the movement to American
life is at once apparent."
Regarding: the statement so frequently
made that college women should have
some special training tor the separate
sphere they, must fill in life, be think the
answer is found in the elective system and
that "the question is no more significant In
connection with the training of our girl
than of our boys," while regarding the
health of of college women, for which so
much anxiety is expressed by some of the
sollcltious ones, he present some carefully
collected statistics from Vassar and other
women's colleges and sayss "It ha been
abundantly shown over and over again
that the health of college women Improves
during the four years of their college life.
It would be difficult to find several hundred
young women of the same general social
conditions in more general good health and
spirits than those who have Just closed the
current academic year In our women's col
leges. Only three of the 163 graduates of
Vassar in 1903 assert that they have not
improved in general health since entering
college."
President Taylor is equally positive that
the higher education has no deterrent ef
fect upon marriage or child-bearing. Over
half the graduates of the first ten year of
Vassar are married, he says, and the pro
portion of children to each marriage Is
more than from two to three, the average
shown In families of similar social condi
tion throughout America. Of the 868 gradu
ates from 1S67 to 1877, there are 201 mar
ried and 133 of these have borne 404 child
ren, 283 sons and 181 daughters. The next
ten years show 869 graduates, 180 married,
106 mothers of 267 children, 149 ons, 118
daughters. The preponderance of boys off
er a problem for the sociologists.
In conclusion President Taylor says:
There is nothing in the college training
of American women to contribute to ab
normal results. A healthy mind and a
healthy body and absolutely healthy and
natural sentiments toward life are the gen
eral product. Those who have seen most
of the work are foremost In their belief in
it. No work in America promise
more for its future than the thorough edu
cation of Its girl."
There is only one statement In Dr. Tay
lor's admirable article to which exception
can be taken, vie. : "Women have In
creased more rapidly in the separate col
leges in the last few years." The statistic
of the United State commissioner of edu
cation do not sustain this assertion. On
the contrary they show the percentage of
Increase for the twelve years ending with
1901 to be almost exactly the same, with
a fraction of one-tenth of 1 per cent. In
favor of coeducation. In that year there
were 21,468 women In coeducational uni
versities and colleges, and 8.260 In those
for women alone. In 1902 the figures stood,
22,507 in the former, 5,649 In the latter, a
slight Increase toward coeducation.
Mrs. May Wright Sewell, president of the
International Council of Women; Mrs. John
F. Swift, of San Francisco, president of
the National Council of Women of the
United States, and Mrs. Alice Wheeler
Pierce, of Indianapolis, as delegate from
this country, sailed last week for Dres
den, whore they will attend the executive
meeting of the International Council, which
will be held there. This meeting will be of
especial Importance and will be attended
by delegates from many countries. As
this will be the last meeting before the
quinquennial conclave of the International
Council, to be held In Berlin next year,
the making of the program and the bring
ing together of representatives from all
civilized countries will be the chief busi
ness. Mrs. Sewell' presidential report,
which will be presented at Dresden, cover
over fifty typewritten page In It review
of the year Just past. The International
Council represents over a million women
in organization. Appeals have come from
the wome-i of Finland and Macedonia for
sympathy and help, while almost every
other country asks for co-operation. Na
tional councils auxiliary to the Interna
tional now exist in every country of Europe
excepting Russia, Norway and Greece, in
Australia. Canada and Argentine repub
lic, while steps for the formation of uch
organizations have been taken In Peru,
Chill, Mexico and Japan.
Mrs. Frank Kennedy, of Omaha, ha been
re-electei president of the woman' aux
iliary of the International Typographical
union, the meeting having convened In
Washington last week. The auxiliary wa
recognized by the I. T- U. last year at
Cincinnati when Mrs. Kennedy was made
it president
It wa decided at the last national con
vention of the National American Woman's
Suffrage association that the birthday of
three of the first workers in the cause
should be annually observed. Susan B. An
thony's. February 15; Lucy Stone's, August
13, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton's, Novem
ber 12. On Thursday ot last week, suffrage
clubs all over the United States observed
Lucy Stone Blackwell's birthday, and the
following Interesting sketch of this Inter
esting woman is given by Ida Husted Har
per: Lucy Stone was born on a farm near
West Brookfleld, Mass., In 181& Her she
was married In 1856 to Henry B. Black well.
A large number of Boston men and women
held a meeting on this historic spot, and
an address was mad by Col. Thomas
Wentworth Hlggtnson, who performed the
ceremony. This marriage was heralded
far and near because the word "obey" was
omitted and because the newly wedded
couple Issued a Joint protest against the
unequal laws which gave the husband ab
solute control of the wife's property, person
and children. In order to protest further
against the loss of Individuality which a
wife suffered by giving up her nam the
bride retained "Lucy Stone," never as
suming the "Blaekwell." She first secured
the opinion ot several eminent lawyers.
Including Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase,
that there was no law requiring the wife
to take the husband's name.
Lucy Stone waa a blue-eyed, fair-haired,
soft-voiced woman about five feet high,
but there have been few of her sex so
radical in thought, fearless In speech and
brave In action. She was among the earliest
to enter Obertln, the first college opened
to women; earned all the money for her
education; refused to allow her graduating
essay to be -read by a professor, when not
permitted to read It herself; began lectur
ing on woman's rights the year she finished
college; was mobbed, struck and had the
hose turned on her, but kept right n
speaking; allowed her household goods, In
cluding her baby' cradle, to be sold for
