Though one hears a great deal about the lnten calm Just now the fact Is that so ciety la stepping about as lively as usual, for while there has been little of sufficient Ice or consequence to swell the social chronicle, fashionable matrons and maids, Oia society beaux and even the men of af fairs who are available, or liable, by rela tlpn, to social obligation, have dined or called, attended the theater or found other cptertalnment and plenty of It, too every day and every evening of the week. One hears little complaint that things are dull, for, as a matter of fact, It Is not every sea- .on of the year that affords society the op portunity of limiting Its entertainment or hospitality to Just those who are really congenial, and this privilege. If nothing else, makes up for much that Is otherwise denied. Altogether the last week was a busy Week. Society seemed to fairly bubble over the first few days with a patriotic fervor that found vent In nil manner of celebra tions of Washington's birthday, while min iature hatchets and cherry trees, flags, the national colors and colonial costume have been the dominate note In most of the af fairs of the past seven days. And there 'were not a few big things, tho birthday party of the Visiting Nurses' association given at the homo of Mrs. George A. Hoag land being largest, while the two euchre parties given Monday and Tuesday after noons by Mrs. M. C. Peters would have been counted large at another season of the year. ( This week will be a repetition of Inst week and. In fact, the same can be safely predicted of every week until after Lent.

The twentieth annual concert given by the orchestra and band of the Omaha Com mercial college Friday night was attended by perhaps the largest crowd In the history of these popular entertainments, there be ing over 700 persons present. That the several numbers on the program were highly appreciated, waa proved by the en thusiastic applause. The band and or chestra, by their splendidly rendered parts, reflected much credit upon' their leader, Prof. F. M. Stelnhauser. The soprano solos, "Merrily I Roam." by Miss Mamie O'Brien, and "Ave Maria," by Miss Irene Connoran, were both heartily encored, as was also the sketch by Prof. Ritchie and company.

WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY Tho local Mennlal board of St. Louis h-s adopted a new means of spreading In formation regarding the coming blennlnl of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, the plan being presented in the fol lowing letter by the president of the local board: To the Presidents of the State Federa tions and the Federation Secretaries: The Gem ral Federation, by arceptlng the in vitations to hold Its seventh biennial in St. l.ouis, from May 17 to 25, Inclusive, places on Its records the celebration of the great Ixulsiana purchase and glvesxnot only Pt. Ioul but the state as well, the pleasure of welcoming the national organi zation to our homes. You will be lntete.-ted to know that arrangements are nearlv com iMtteii for the "day of celebration" at the world's fair grounds, and th press com mittee will soon give a full report of this Interesting occasion. We are looking forward to the largest delegation whlrh the General Federation hns ever presented, on account of the growth of tho national body, the central location of the entertaining city and the great Interest in the International exposi tion. For The accommodation of such an Increased delegation, we have the pleasure of offering the best audience hall the bi ennials have ever experienced, and It should not be boatitful for the writer to speak thus, since she has attended every lilennlal and presents or.ly her experience. The acoustic propertlca ol' tho Odeon are unsurpassed, and 8eakeri. will assure you of the perfect ease, the minimum of effort, In presenting their various ideas. The Club Woman Issue of February gives Illustrated statistics of the hall, wilch we recommend to every delegate, alternate, speaker or visitor. We are told that the prices secured for hotel accommodations are beyond the means of the average club woman, and It Is the average woman we expect and wish to satisfy. All know that exposition periods raise the price of every available hotel or boarding house; but tha hotels committee will soon send out a circular, arranging for these needs to the best of its ability. Corre spondence according to addresses given In the Club Woman, and according to the circular, will obtain from the committee all desired Information. program in the hands of Mrs. West or the General Federation board promises the unique arrangement of only one de partment session at any one time. This should disarm criticism at once, for the choice between so many tempting feasts of reason has often distracted the worn dele gate and made her realize how much Bhe waa obliged to leave unheard. 1 ho local biennial board comes to vou with a new proposition for exploiting 'the sventh biennial through Its press commit tee; It appeals to you to make the work known to your clubs and to the press of your state. The loenl board asks the State Federation to be responsible for distribu tion of biennial news In their respective states, for we fully believe no one is more Interested In the success of the General Federation thun the presidents of the states, no organization so ready to dlstrlb uto quickly, without friction, aa the State Federation. The press committee will send out frequent news bulletins, prepared by the different local committees In the In terests of the seventh blennlnl. The boerd asks you to see that these are sent to the presa of the etnte by your press committee and to the Federnted Clubs of the state through the same or a distributing com mittee. If this can be done we nre sure the news will reach nil those for whom It la really Intended, and wo ask you to let our press committee know the success or fallikre of the scheme. If you have not such commit tees In existence, will you see that they are appointed as quickly ns possible, for the next Important letter from the hotels com mittee will follow this within a very short time. The local biennial board believes that each state will see Its way clear to distrib ute this matter from its Immediate, ac curate knowledge of its own conditions. Tf for any reason this seems Impossible, will you make such reason known to our press committee chairman. Mrs. Charles LeRoy Moss, suite O. Odeon, St. Louis. The board asks, therefore, that the re sponsibility be placed unon the state, and to Insure this responsibility the press com mittee proposes no measure by which It shall more directly pursue press work In that territory. Printed news Items will be sent In quan tities, sufficient for the demonds of every state. If vonr illotment Is Insufficient klndlv notlfv the press committee. riease allow .he local board to express a keen sense of -jleasure In this co-operation. A belief In the" entire harmony of this the seventh biennial convention, a warm wel come and a handclasp to every member who will come within our gates and the bone that all who leave us may be glad they came. Very cordially yours. iney cam PERRY MOORE. President Local Biennial Board. NEW YORK, Feb. ?7.-After fjscusslon extending over a period of many months, the New York City Federation of Women's Clubs has taken definite action toward the establishment of a club house for women. It Is to have all the accoutrements of a men's club and will cost $500,000. At a re cent meeting of the foderation a commit tee was chosen to seek suitable quarters. This committee reported In favor of the old Knickerbocker Athletic club In Madison avenue. The temerity of such an under taking stunned the women for a few months, but their president gave assur ances that a man stood ready to loan them enough for the first payment and a committee waa chosen with power to act. The club women who expect to attend the seventh biennial at St. Louis will be Interested to know that on May 19. 1!i; will occur the unveiling of the memorial tablet provided by the club women of all the atate belonging to the General Federa tion of Woman'! Clubs. The tablet la the work of Mr. George Julian Zolnay. the director of sculpture for the exposition. It Is In bronse and It la Intended to represent the purchase ltwelf along the lines of ldent Roosevelt's argument for the rifle bearing frontiersman- as the true settler of this purchase, and at Its base there will be an Inscription written especially for It by President Roosevelt. The tnblt Is to be placed rear the main entrnnce to the exposition on the art palace, a place ho conspicuous that visitors cannot fall to r e? It. The following program, while not com plete, has been suggested by the committer: Music; address of welcome by President Francis of the exposition; address of wel come by Prof. Ives, director of the art department; address of welcome by a mem ber from the Louisiana purchase states; re sponse by Mrs. Dlmlee T. 8. Dtnlson, pres ident of the General Federation of Woman's Clubs; music; patriotic oration (from the best orator of the country); unvelllrg of the tablet. The art department will present the fol lowing program at Monday afternoon's open meeting of the Woman's club, Mrs. Charles Johannes to preside: An organ solo by Mr. Will Thlckstun; a description of Indian, Mrs. William Grlggor; a talk. "The Religions of India," by Mrs. W. O. I're; a vocal solo by Mrs. Henry Coe; three short talks on Indian architecture by Mrs. George Payne, Mrs. Phillip Potter and Mrs. W. C. Sunderland. The program will fol low the regular business session, which will begin at 2:15 o'clock Instead of 2:30, the extra time, with fifteen minutes allowed from the program hour, having been given that Mr. Edmund Russell, the New York artist, may talk on "Ths Philosophy of Art." It Is expected that the session will be one of the most notable of the season. The members of the current topic depart ment will give a kenslngton afternoon Tuesday at ths home of Mrs. F. R. Straight, K4 South Thirty-fifth street. One of the most successful meetings of the Woman's club R. M. 8. was the Martha Washington afternoon, given by direction of the household economics committee of the club, at the home of Mrs. F. A. Holt, BIS North Forty-second street, Wednesday afternoon. The rooms were beautifully decorated with flags. The two darkened dining rooms were decorated with tha na tional colors, red, white and blue, fes tooned from the chandeliers to the corners of the tables, which were decorated with cherries, small hatchets' and old-fashioned candelabrum supporting red, white and blue candles. The piste cards were dainty flags. Covers were laid for thirty-five. The din ner consisted of )' oldet time dishes." Mrs. H. F. Phearer acted as toast mistress, and with a few appropriate remarks called on Mrs. Gregory to respond to the toast, "Martha Washington." The toast, "George Washington," Was given by Mrs. Dodds; "Our Chief Clerk." by Mrs. Rawson: "The Railway Mall Service," by Mrs. Taylor; "Our Country," by Mrs. Phillips; "Our Home," by Mrs. Hart. The guests had their hair powered and done In the style of the Waahlngtons. There were garments and Jewelry worn by some of the women thnt were fifty to PO years old. The first prize was awarded to Mrs. Johnston and the second to Mrs. Nash, who very cred itably drcssod and acted the part of Oeorgo Washington. This most enjoyable meeting closed by the guests engaging for a short tlmo In the old-fashioned Virginia reel. APPEALS FOR THE HOSPITAL tier, Eric A. Fogelstrnm Seta Forth Needs of Institution of Which lie Is Manager. OMAHA. Feb. 27.-To tho Editor of The Bee: As there at present, for certain rea sons. Is a good deal of Inquiry about the Immanuel hospital, please allow me. through your paper, to state a few facts and to give the public some explanations In reference to this Institution. When we had paid th moctgage on the property, some years ago, I told the sister In charge of the hospital that as long as there Is an, empty bed In the wards we shbuld never refuse to admit a poor patient because he has no money, if his condition otherwise was such that It would do him any good to enter. Most all the time In late years we have, therefore, had the hospital full and about ten months of the year It has been overcrowded to such an extent that we have been compelled to refuse many admittance because there was.no room. Private rooms have particularly been In great demand. For this reason we were compelled last year to decide to build an addition to tho hospital. First, however, for the sake of economy, we had to build a boiler house and lay In a first-class heat ing plant, so that all present and future buildings of the institution could be heated from one and the same plant. This was done last year at a cost of $10,000. Lost year, we received 17,008 in donations, mostly In small sums ajid from all parts of the country. In order to clear up everything at the end of the year I, therefore, had to borrow $3,000 from the bank. In spite of this fuct we are compelled to have more private rooms and to build an addition to the hospital this spring. If we do not get the money for this addition, we will soon again be under the painful ne cessity to take a big mortgage on the hos pital. But such a necessity will almost make me desperate. I will not in the least be anxious for the success of the Immanuel hospital, not at all. Having been sclf-Bup-portlng from the very beginning, nearly fifteen years ago, on account of the sacri fice of our sisters, the hospital has long ago proved Itself perfectly able to take care of Itself. But I despair for the suffer ing poor In Omaha and vicinity who need hospital care more than the rich, and I despair also for the conditions in our com munity. If we do not get the money neeiNd for the new addition. It will particularly hurt the poor people In this community, With a big mortgage on the property and no endowments for free beds, no one can expect us to care for the poor free of charge, and consequently, the rule, before mentioned, will have to be changed ao that those who are unable to pay must bo refused admission to the hospital. Such a condition will certainly not be an honor for Omaha. I would, therefore, earnestly ask: Can the good people of our fair city afford to develop such a condition? Or can the citizens of Omaha, and Ne braska let the Immanuel hospital be crip pled to such an extent? Knowing the de mands on us as I do, I made an appeal for aid In the Omaha dallies last Thunks givlng, and ever since I have tried my very best to lay the "needs of the hospital before our best citizens, but some smaller donations excepted and a very generous subscription of $1,000 from Dr. B. B. Davis, who knows our needs perfectly, I have so far received little encouragement. Having spent the best part of my life, the last twenty-five years. In Omaha, I can not and will not give up the great fight for poor suffering humanity In this community. I will continue to struggle the best I can for tho Institution, which the citizens of Omaha, without reference to creed, color or nationality, so generously helped me to found fifteen years ago, but I must con fess the conditions in our city look de plorable to me at present. The Catholics easily get all the money they need for their many charities and should we probably leave all this kind of work to be done by them alone? All honor- to such a man as Count John A. Crelgh ton, who, according to the newspapers, lately gave property worth a qviarter of a million dollars to Catholic Institutions In Omaha. I do not In the least blame Count Crelghton or the Catholics for doing alt they can not at all. On the contrary, I thoroughly believe the words of 'our Lord, "Blessed ore the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy," and, also, "It is more bles sed to give than to receive." But I do most earnestly ask, when shall the Protes tants or non-Catholics of Omaha learn this lesson, or when shall they worthily com mence to "go and do likewise?" If the Im manuel hospital had not already for years proved Itself to be a worthy and reliable Institution, if we had not there an order of Protestant Bisters, so that we could be economical and make the very best use of money, I would not at this time have said anything. But as thrse facts are estab lished and ackno'wlrdged, I hereby ear nestly ask the public to please, pardon mo for once more laying before you the pres ent grat needs of the Institution. I would like very much to be able to personally call on all the good people of Omaha In order to further Avtilaln this matter but I as my health for some time haa been quite delicate, I will be able to see but a few. By this letter I would, however, 'make a last appeal to everyone to help tho Im-S manuel hospital In Its present great need , E. A. FOGELSTROM. Manager.
