.' A week of wedding and card parties, not
to speak of Christmas shopping and after
noon affairs where no end of dainty things
vera made for tha great gift day, has kept
society more than occupied of late, and
With It all there has been the Joy and tha
excitement and the general atlrup Inci
dental to the homecoming to the college
people, for moat of them have come that
Are coming and the rest will be bare today
er tomorrow. But tha weddings have been
really the chief things, three of them on
successive days, and then another to close
the week, untlK-well It maybe well after
all that there Is so much ahead, for things
are liable to seem quiet by comparison
after a rush, and than these weddings have
taken two of the ' most popular girls In
society out of town, and they, too, will 'be
missed. '
' This week will be as gay as those pre
ceding It and the tint of affairs Includes
as wide a variety aa it Is extensive In
length, for the calendar as announced docs
not Include all that Is ahead, and half the
fun that Is promised Is of too Informal a
character to require formal Invitations,
and besides all of this there are' tha Im
promptu affairs that always attend the
holidays. ' i
"Where were you Tuesday evening?"
This is the question that. Is stumping
Quito a number of our Omaha society swells
: who gave various excuses to their wives
and bait girls this week to get away for
a mysterious expedltl6n about which they
have refused to talk despite persistent
Inquiries and prodding. The only , answer to
be had has been' furtive glances that usu
ally follow some devilish lark, -but those
la on the game declare It was aot half so
devilish as It was expected to be. Instead
Of promising to take tha wives and sweet
hearts along next .time they merely say
there la to be no next time. :

The recent action of the Eclectic club of
New Yorfc offers another Illustration of the
fact that the progressive clubs have out
grown excluding the press. One woman
has made the suggestion that the best way
for club women to avoid undue criticism
by the press la to guard against actions
or utterances that will tend to bring them
Into ridicule. She further auggeats the ap
pointment of a committee to paaa upon all
papers before hey'are read-
Mrs. Robert J. Burdette, vies president
of tha General Federation, has reached the
conclusion that the ;waate baskets of many
club presidenU . and corresponding secre
taries are too large." In her trip over the
country she has made it a point to Inquire
of club women if they have found tha open
letters sent out by the General Federation
of Womon's Clubs board, and the circulars
issued by the standing committees helpful.
In the majority of. cases tbe club women
have not heArd from this matter and Mrs.
Burdette has made the suggestion that
clubs hearing . nothing from the General
Federation lnvwttgata the reason for them
selves
A circular has been Issued by the Chicago
Woman's club pertaining to the prellml
nary arrangements for the conference on
"Women in Modern Induatriallam" to be
held In Chicago In March. The conference
proposes to present tha status of women
aa an economlo aad financial factor In the
present day Industrialism, aad tha conse
quent changes in her family and social re
lation. Woman's education, , marriage,
health, aoclal life, political and legal dls.
abilities as affected by .Industrialism, and
the family and financial ebllgatlona borne
by women will be discussed. The commit
tee Is to have the assistance of an ad
visory committee of women and men promi
nent In education and industry. Mrs.
Charlea Henrotln, president of the Chicago
Woman's club, is chairman cf the commit
tee., Tbe various departments of the club
wilf make a concise statement of actual
conditions aa far aa they can be ascertained
and the following topics for discussion have
been selected: "Woman's Education as Af
fected by Industrialism," "Marriage as Af
fected by Industrialism," "Health aa Af
fected by Induatriallam," "Social Life as
Affected by Induatriallam,"' "Family and
Financial Obligations Borne by Women,1
"Political Disabilities Affecting Women In
Inf Ji trial lain." '
Over 1000 members of the Nebraska Fed
eration of Woman' a Clubs and thouaanda
of other women who must suffer or profit
by Its action aa the moat Influential worn
aa'a organisation of the atate, were done
a serious injustice laat week la the failure
of the federation to provide a repreaenta-
tlve at the conference of the various worn
en'a organtaationa of Nebraska, held In
Omaha to decide upon a woman's property
rights bill to be presented to' tha next leg
Islatura. No queation has ever come be
fore the women of tha atate that baa been
of greater Importance to thorn Individually
and collectively or In which thay have ex-
hltlted greater Intereat than thia effort for
a mora equitable property rights law for
women, and thla was proven before and
during the seulon of ho last leglaifttira
whan the defeated bill pruaented by the
Suffrac" association waa pending, by the
numeioije lettara aod putltions and requests
from tl e woiaea ttukt ware received. lr the
varloua legislators asking their support of
the bill. , . '
In spite of this Interest only ona club In
the federation, the Omaha Woman's club,
waa privileged to have "S. voice In tha con
ference and thla ona, only because It hap
pened to be In the city and to have among
Its members a few women aufflclently fa
miliar with legislative work to appreciate
the neceaslty as well aa the value of con
certed action. Although this agitation haa
been going on for three yeara, tbe federa
tion still, has taken no action even to tha
extent of appointing a committee to con
sider thla Interests of Its members, and
only because some members of the execu
tive committee, not realising the need or
the Importance of such legislation, have
been unwilling that It should come before
the whole body. There la naturally keen
resentment and indignation among many
of the women who feel that their atate
officers have no right, even If It la their
privilege, to at and In the light of others,
particularly In a matter of thla kind, by
failing to provide a medium through whlob
the women can co-operate, aa a body, with
tha other women'a organisations of tha
atata. It la a question of the Interest of all
women, oven thoaa who can not sae H,
rather than the opinion of a few, and con
sidering that .. thla Interest Is general It
should no 'longer be overlooked.

BRUSSELS, Deo. 19.(New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) Tbe king
of the Belgians Is having a famous Chinese
tower re-erected In hla park at Laeken. at
the angle of the Van Praet avenue.. Tha
exterior Is very picturesque with Ita monu
mental entrance, its numerous stairways
and statue of a Chinese divinity above
them. The general s lair case leads to a
suite of parlors, ornamented with lacquer
panels . and cedar wood carvings. Tha
glasa of the wlndowa Is of bluish hue, giv
ing a mysterious shadow to the Interior.
Quantities of rare woods were used jn the i
construction of the building. The tower la
lighted by 800 electric lamps and warmed
by the latest appllancea In heating. ".. ''J
The question is generally asked, for what
reason was thla Oriental tower ' con
structed? No one has answered It, but a
Japanese restaurant la going to be In
sulted there, . to which tha publlo will
have access by paying.
