Reports of the trans 1 actions of the meeting will be the business of importance at the local suffrage societies now, especially at the annual meeting of the Equal Fran chise society Thursday at 3 o'clock in the Hotel k Fontenelle ballroom., Mrs. W. E. Barkley, state president, is expected to be present and reports of the national suffrage convention held in Atlantic City, will probably be given by the president, Mrs. JM. Metcalf. A story in the Hastings Daily Tribune about Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, national suffrage president, which for the effect, might just as well be printed ot Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles, president of the Gen eral Federation of Women's club, is repeated as fol lows: "The woman who is conceded to be the fore most person of her sex in America, descended from a day coach of the Northwestern train last night and stood hesitatingly on the platform, as if unde cided what to do next. A Hastings business man who was there with his automobile' to escort visiting delegates to the homes where they are to be en tertained, approached her at once and aked: "Are you J delegate to the Woman's club convention?" The woman thus accosted might have answered: "No, I am not a delegate, but I am president of the International Suffrage Allhshce and also president of . i V" . : t e.. . : i i . lug suunai ouiiragc assutiaiiun. i nave ueen presi dent of the International Council of Women, repre senting more than 800,000 women, and I am here to speak to the suffragists and clubwomen ' of Ne braska." Instead of thus enlightening her interroga tor the woman answered simply that she was Mrs! Catt and wished to be directed to a hotel. "Well, there are no frills about her," remarked the man to a bystander after he had given her the information she desired." Mrs. Catt said in a recent speech: "Neither the leaders in the movement nor the great majority of the rank and file are laboring under any delusions as to the true status of woman suf frage in this country today. Our victories this year in securing the endorsement of both the political parties have not blinded us to the fact that there is still a tremendous battle to be fought. To be sure. nttr ,-si,C haa uinn .11 tit. ra.lt.r ... . t . . the country the churches, the principal women's organizations, and recognition by the leading politi cal parties. Moreover, all the leading names in litera ture, art, philosophy, science and business are en rolled on our side. But we have not won the reac tionaries. We have not won the illiterate. We have not won the powers of evil, and we all realize there must be one final battle between the forces of en lightenment and progress and the forces of ignor ance, evil, and tradition. We realize, too, that there is no room in our ranks for those who fear the con flict or betray any evidence of showing the white feather." The Associated Charities is planning to do bigger and better things this year than ever before. In ac cordance with this purpose they plan to meet at luncheon at the University club Tuesday noon to discuss with Mrs. George Doane, president, the best means of relieving present conditions. The guests who have been invited to this luncheon are men and women who are interested in charitable work which will be of real account to Omaha. They are: Miss Hilda Hammer. Mesdames W. T.

JaneJfewar v, LL thex wealth of King Solomon's mines l had flowed forth t6 adorn King Ak-Sar- Ben XXII, Mr., John Lee Webster, his 1 queen, consort, Miss Mary Megeath, and the throng of loyal subjects who crowded ' the coronation chamber Friday evening-. Resplendent in gold and silver were the king and queen,, surpassing all previous monarchs of their realm in the splendor of their costumes. Beautiful and stately were the special maids in their gowns of orchid. Dqwn to the tiny fairy dancers the at tendants of the queen were arrayed in garments of unequalled brilliance. - 1 Omaha's stately matrons who glided here and there In the castle hall were exquisitely gowned in satins and iridescent materials combined with filmy tulle, Hosts of pretty young things in their fluffy, dainty frocks were a deliaiht to all eves. I . Miss Lucile Bacon and Miss Alice fanulth. the two brides, were the beautiful centers of animated groups in the boxes. Following the ball, they joined the gay company of supper guests at the Omaha club, -Silver was the predominating color and ma- , tenal, Slippers of silver, gowns, of silver cloth, laces of silver, sliver scarfs, silver ornaments, all set with glittering stones, were on every hand. Blended beautifully with the silver were the orchid shades, which may have been a reflection of the lights which played over the knightly revelers, or perhaps tribute to the charming wife of the nation's chief executive, who has just been in our midst. More prosaic modistes affirm that the remarkable demand for orchid materials this year is the reaction from the use of the pastel shades used last season. Strik ing gowns of black and iridescent blues were seen not only on the matrons, but upon some of the beautiful maidens. Some gowns were bizarre crea tions, lending a touch of interest to the gay throng Pink and coral shades in hooped taffetas formed many of the most piquant and delightful gowns. None looked more dainty and beautiful than those gowned in white. ' With the triumphal entry and coronation of the king and queen the winter social season has opened. First events marking what promises to be a brilliant season are the marriages of the two beautiful young society women whose approaching nuptials have been celebrated for the last two weeks. The last members of the bridal party of Miss Alice Jaquith arrived Saturday morning. The marriage of Miss Alice Jaquith took place last evening at 7:30 at St. Barnabas' church. From 7 o'clock, the West SlHtpra' utincrH nn,., m-A Miss' Maude Grebe, organist, gave a delightful re cital. Miss Madge West played several violin solos and Miss Grebe organ solos. At 7:30 the wedding party entered to the strains of the Lohengrin wed ding march. On the altar were white lilies and palms and candles formed the decorations at the sides. On the pews were lilies of the valley and ferns. The ushers preceded the bridal party down the aisle, followed by Master Clifford Weller, bearing the ring in a lily. He wore a dainty Kate Greena way suit with long trousers of pink, and a white satin blouse edged with pink ruffles. Next came the bridesmaids in their exquisite gowns of rose pink satin, made short and draped low on the sides, where they were caught with the daintiest of French llowers. The skirts were caught so as to show petticoats of silver lace. Silver adorned the front of the bodices and the sleeves were short Castle sleeves of tulle. They carried shepherdess staffs of white tied with Killarney roses and orchids. Their hats were floppy-brimmed creations of tulle, without crowns, and banded with silver tulle. In the order of their appearance they were: Miss Alice Roberts of Cleveland, O.; Miss Eugenie Patterson, Miss Isabel Vinsonhaler, Miss Lucile Green of Indianapolis. i The maid of honor, Miss Meliora Davis, followed; a beautiful figure in pale shell pink satin of simi-t lar make with the gowns of the maids, except thst it was strikingly unornamented. A big loose ash bow with two ends crossed the back of the bodice, which was plain and tight and caught in front with some wonderful Frehch flowers. One fnd of the sash lengthened, formed the train. Thi! gowns of the inaids had similar trains. The sleeves of- her gown hung off her arm and were caught wit'.i rose buds on the shoulder. , Mrs. Clifford Weller, sister of the bride, and matron of honor, came next in a gown of heavy, shiminery orchid satin, with skirt draped high and bodice and skirt ornamented with silver lace. Her train was similar to those of the other maids. ) Then came little Elinor Kountze, in a mina ture gown of the rose-pink satin like that of the bridesmaids. It was draped high on the hips and caught up with French flowers to show a skirt of llesh chiffon, embroidered with silver. t Then came the beautiful bride, on the arm ol her brother, Arthur Jaquith, who gave her ' in marriage. Her gown was of cloth of silver with an over-drape of chiffon, embroidered with silver bas kets. It was caught high on the sides. A four-andr a-half yard train fell from the shoulder! and was lined with cloth of silver, A pointed bodice of silver cloth with upper part of chiffon and em broidery of silver had long Castle sleeves. The long tulle veil was caught below the psyche knot of her hair and held in place with a forehead band of" orange blsoms. She carried lilies of the valley and orchids. , .. ,v. The veil was of the same length as the' train. As the bridal pair knelt on a white fur rug, the Kev. Father Holsapple read the marriage lines. The Mendelssohn wedding march was the recessional.
