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.
Utile or nothing has been announced but
that doe not necessarily mean that there
will be nothing going on, and everybody

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.

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

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
