M. Fairfield will apply to the suffragists Who do not "get busy" before July 1$, the date set for the wind-up of the house-to-house enroll ment of suffrage supporters. Mrs. Fairfield is chairman of the City Central Suffrage com mittee and has called a meeting for that date, Satur day, at the Young Women's Christian association, to close the campaign. The house-to-house enrollment by ward and pre cinct was the official method determined upon to dis cover just where the suffragists stand in this state. Mrs. H. H. Wheeler of Lincoln is chairman of the state work. At the national woman suffrage convention, then, to be held in Atlantic City, September 6, each of the states desiring the support of the national associa tion will submit the returns ef their house-to-house canvass, and the convention will determine whether there is sufficient warrant for them to give7 financial and other support to that state as a campaign state. Only states which have completed a certain amount of preliminary suffrage propaganda will be deemed worthy of support. Neither heat nor other interests has detracted from the enthusiasm pf the other ardent campaign ers, the Woman's Christian Temperance unions. Their fortnightly meetings continue throughout the r. This week the temnerance guns seemed to be trained Oft Florence, the Omaha Woman's Christian Temperance union having arranged to hold a musi cal and oratorical contest at the Florence Presby terian church, Monday evening at 8 o'clock, and Frances Willard Woman's Christian Temperance union, a picnic in the. city park there at U o'clock, Wednesday morning.

There will be music, a parlia mentary drill, and Mrs. Fannie Manning will read the story of "Betsey Ross and the Flag." Two summer activities of local club women are worthy of special note. One is the extension work of the Social Settlement) started at the West Side school in South Side, Wednesday, and, the other is the Daily Vacation Bible school, o be inaugurated at the Dietz Memorial Methodist church on Monday of next week, under the auspices of the Woman's Missionary Federation. Already over 200 have enrolled at the South Side Social Settlement, and tomorrow the board of di rectors will have to call a halt on further registra tions because they, have not sufficient facilities or volunteer workers to keep up the good work.

The Bible school is in the nature of an experf ment, which, if successful, will result in the estab lishment of like schools in other churches next sum mer, according to Mrs. F. J. Birss, Tuesday of this week, at the Young Women's Christian association, at 2:30 o'clock, a general meeting of the Missionary Federation will be held, at which time the Daily Vacation Bible school committee's plans will be pre sented, as well as plans for the proposed social serv ice department ot the missionary federation. The work is not limited to any one denomination, but all have been invited to co-operate. At Storm Lake, la., this week, the industrial con ference of the Young Women's Christian association is of interest. Miss Lilly Strong, general secretary of the local association, will lead a Bible class there, and Miss Louise Curtis, industrial secretary, will head a large delegation of girls leaving here Tuesday morning for the conference, which lasts until July 21. The delegation includes Misses Lorena and Blondina Polen, Hildred Herbert, Mabel Sackett, Harriet Pin now, Pearl McCall Delia Hanks, Christina Sorenson, Jessie Mapes, Alice Nelson, Louise Herman, Mabel Workman, Cora McCord, M. Wavers and Emma Moore. The Lake Geneva conference will not be held until August 11. The Nebraska Humane society meeting of Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock in Mr. Ben Stan ley's office at Trinity cathedral is of much interest to those in whom renewed endeavors looking toward humane work have been aroused. The Humane society contemplates most needful reforms in the tfeatment of dumb animals and helptess children, and much good will be accomplished because of the financial support given the movement through the effort, of Miss Jessie Millard, Mrs. J. de Forest Richard., Mrs. George Joslyn and others. g t r in tjy VV .JT&v AK. &mmr --;:v lim, m&r , A ' fltwl,;Yi i? $P f.V;Trv;'1v' ,,,A V''i. ?

K l NOTABLE in the contingent of visitors is the fascinating guest of Mrs. Edwin T. Swobe, Mrs. Thomas S. Brown of Cin cinnati, one whose numerous visits are always heralded with acclaim in the fash ionable set. Mrs. Brown is a woman of great beauty and dis tinction. She has traveled-much and lived abroad considerably with her ion, Lester Bridahan, jr. In Denver, where Mrs. Brown lived when .he was CM. 3- Mrs. Lester Bridahan, her kennels, the Sweetbriar Kennels of Boston terriers, were declared among the finest. Both in her native city and in Cincinnati, where she has made her home since her marriage, Mrs. Brown presides over her own social worjd with queenly grace and beauty. ' Social courtesies in great number have been ex tended this charming guest since her arrival one week ago. But that Mrs. Brown is "different" than the usual quota of summer visitors is evidenced by the fact that not one bridge party is numbered among the many entertainments planned in her honor. Chief among entertainments for Mrs. Brown have been several dinners given by her hostess and Mr. Swobe; a dinner by Mr. and Mrs. Howard H. Baldrige and a like affair by Dr. Leroy Crammer at the Country club, and the motor picnic to Valley arranged by Mr, and Mrs. E. S. Westbrook and Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Huntley. Mr. and Mrs. G. A.

ISnt-Sa t' w IKl'S . 1 JULY, it appears, is envious of June's sobriquet, "the monds of brides," and would rival her in that honor. Fair brides galore are setting the dates this month for weddings as beautiful in appointments as ever graced the month just passed. . , . , Chief among the weddings of interest in Omaha this month are the nuptials of Miss Louise Nor thrup and Mr. Samuel William Reynolds, , golf champion; that pf Miss Helen Corey Epeneter and Mr. Albert Rice Busch, and Miss Mildred Rubel and Mr. Edwin Vaughan Glaser of St. Louis. First to wear the bridal veil is Miss Northrup, whose wedding will be celebrated Saturday evening of this week, at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Jay Northrup. The Rev. G. A. Hulbert will per form the ceremony, assisted by Rev. T. J. Mackay. Miss Grace McBride wilt be the only attendant, but numerous old classmates of the bride at Central high school, Rolye club members, as well as her sorority sisters from Kappa Alpha Theta at the University of Nebraska, will serve as ribbon stretch ers and assist at the reception. , v Miss Epeneter and Mr. Busch take the marriage vows Monday evening, July 17,'at All Saints' church, the ceremony to be followed by a wedding supper for thirty guests, the bridal party and relatives, at the Hotel Fontenelle, At this wedding, too, there will be but one attendant for the bride, her very dear friend, Miss Marjorie Howland, while the best man will be Mr. Leon Dudley Callahan. Miss Rubel and Mr. Glaser wilt be married 'the very last day of the month. The bride's many friends are loath to part with Miss Rubel, whose marriage will take her to St. Louis to live. The wedding will be a quiet home affair at 8:30 o'clock, at the residence of the bride's sister, Mrs. Jay B. Katr, Rabbi Frederick Cohn officiating. There will be no attendants. The young couple will go west for the honeymoon trip. Miss Amy Glaser, sister of the bridegroom, will arrive next week, to be the guest of Miss Rubel until after the wedding.' Prenuptial affairs for the brides-to-be vie witli the given-in-honor entertainments for the many sum mer visitors this week. Delightfully informal are most of the entertainments, either at home or at the country clubs, as is suited to the weather, and mostly confined to the school set, in which there is an espe cially large number of house guests at present. The usual summer exodus to lakes, mountains and seaside resorts is in full swing, and numerous are those who are missed from the usual haunts of the social world. The New England coast, the . northern lakes and the Colorado rockies hold the palm of favor, it seems. A state tournament for women golfers is one of the promises for the latter part of the month. In vitations to women golfers throughout the state to attend a golf tournament at the frield club July 24 to 28 have been issued by the Omaha Women Goit ers' association, of which Mrs. L. M. Lord is the president. The organization of a state association is one of the plans for this meeting. This wilt assure state and inter-state tournaments for women in the future. The Omaha colony at Lake Okoboj! promises to assume the same large proportions as m former years, which led to the naming of one section there as "Omaha beach." It owes its popularity to the fact that it is within easy motoring distance from this city, and indeed most of the summer sojourners at the popular resort do make the trip by automo bile. Week-end trips for the men of the family are also possible because of Okoboji's nearness. Prior lake and Christmas lake have their quota of Omaha guests and a large party starts for Estcs Park during the next few weeks. Atlantic City, Cohassett, Northeast Harbor and other resort of the Atlantic seaboard are the goal of a great himber who made their exodus during the week. The arrival of Mr. Elias C. Vaill of Foughkeepsie, N. Y Saturday morning will be the inspiration for a goodly bit of informal entertaining for him and his lovely fiancee, Miss Alice Jaquith. Their wed ding date has been set for Saturday evening, Octo ber 7, at St. Barnabas church. Mr. Vaill arrived in time for the final showing of the "society movie," One Summer in Omaha' ' at the Boyd theater, in which Miss Jaquith took the leading role in an interesting romance with Mr; Robert Burns. The movie was presented by Mrs. Charles T. Kountze for the benefit of the Child Saving institute, which explains Miss Jaquith's par. ticipation in a love-making episode with "the other man."
