News of the Week in Social Circles : Activities- in Woman's Realm u si i r III V - 'V -( U V I I $ V Ml -,V. in oo Army Changes Bring Welcome 4 Additions to Local Social Circles Changes in 'stations of army men have furnished many "welcome addi tions tof Omaha society .in times past, but the most recent change as well as one of the most welcome additions is the coming of the Misses . Mary, Dorothy and Helen Grant, daughters of Colonel and Mrs. Frank Grant, who by a turn of fortune have come to Omaha to reside for a time. Their coming also is the occasion for a loss, because Miss 1 Dorothy Bingham, whose father, Colonel G. S. Bingham, Colonel Grant replaces at the quarter master's depot, will leave soon' to make her home in the east. The-Mis&es Grant have led the life of army folk since they were small girls. They have been taught by gov ernesses or gone to school here and there in the interesting parts of the world where their father was Sta tioned and have thoroughly enjoyed life. Their stay in the Philippines was particularly , pleasant, and, as Miss Mary Gant expressed it, "Oh, we loved it there." ' '! All three ride, swim,' play iennis, sing and play for their own Jmuse inent. They have traveled Yxtensively, but belittle their knowledge in that respect by saying that it is no more than all army folk have done. Miss Mary Grant, the eldest daughter, went to school at Miss Fitthett's, or Hamp. ton college, in Virginia, during their residence in the east. Miss Helen Grant is the youngest daughter and Miss Dorothy the second- Mrs. Donald Macrae, III, is one of the younger brides of army men. Her husband, young Donald Macrae, son of Dr. and Mrs. Donald Macrae-of Council Bluffs, is at' home waiting to be called to his post of duty. His bride of the spring is a winsome miss, who before her marriage was Miss Joyce Parker, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. F.F. Parker of Oskaloosa, la. Both were students at the state uni versity of Iowa before their marriage. Mrs. John II. Shary is one' of Omaha's : charming young . matrons is spending a large part of the sum mer on the western coast.

That may be true, for in compari- son with sv golt bugs who "galleried" the championship match in the woman 8 golf tournament at the Field club lat yeatirfloTrrT1 ZZtlllt enter the tournament Vriday morn' tog. she received a typewritten note enclosing the clipping from the Bee, suggesting a helpful remedy.' and signed "an interested reader of the Omaha' Bee, B. A. - N6wwha the thirty-five followed the match which took place Friday afternoon at Happy ttoyow ciud1 ' Strange to relate, though, the ones who took the most active interest in the contest were the women who have done most to further the interests of the Red Cross society. Mrs. DickJ ate wart, new state champion, . has worked so interminably on behalf of the comfort kit shop that her most ardent admirers feared she had had too little practice to play a good game. Mrs. Sprague, the sensational runner up, lias helped along every branch of war relief work. Their friends, too, who came out loyally to watch at least part of the match were the pil lars of the Omaha Red Cross chapter'. Mrs..-Hiarles T. Kountze and Mrs. Joseph Barker, together followed the game around the first eight or nine holes, until they had to hie them away to the Country club for a meeting of the Omaha chapter of Daughters of the "American Revolution, at which Mrs. Kountze was to be hostess. - Mrs. Kountze was all in cool white except -for. a brown straw hats with turnc(kdown brim around which a blue' ribbon was simply knotted. Mrs. Barker, too, wore white with a green and white striped skirt. Now that we are talking of what "thtse present" wore, we mustn't leave dut the two important players, Mrs. Sprague always looks perfectly fit in outing clothes and her freshly laundered shirt-waist suit, of" white was highly suitable. With it she wore brown flat-heeled walking shoes and an outing hat. of white with a light design. Mrs.. Stewart was as trim and neat, to use a hackneved phrase, as a picture, all in white from the crown of her plain self-trimmed plnama hat to the tips. of Jier white - walking shoes. She, too, wore a white shirt-waist suit. . ' Miss Mary MegeatH and Mrs. How ard Goodrich, who faithfully trailed the match, - wore attractive sleveless sweaters of wool, the former's laven der with a' straw hat in a deeper purple shade and the tatter's a deli cate apple green with white collar and bands. Talking about sweaters sug gests Mrs. Fred Hamilton's, stunning black one; .She was more handsome than usual in costume consisting of black hat, black sweater and a silk 1 skirt of tiny black and white checks. Mrs. F. J. Despether had come over from Manawa wearing a green and white striped sports coat with her while suit that was good to look upon. From Council Bluffs, also, was Mrs. B. O. Bruirigton, who always takes the palm for tailored trimncss on the links. Her high black, tied stock was positively enviable. - i v ' Mrs, Harry Arnold, wasn't it? who wore a vivid green wool skirt that made a gay spot of color off across the links. Mrs. Will Redick, who drove out "with a car full of friends, wore a pretty flowered hat of purple. Green and purple were the favorite colors - aiyl they blended with the white frocks and the green back ground of the links in" beautiful style. Mrs. Allan Parmer, the poor suf ."erer from poison ivy, came out jravclv for the match, but when the sun shone from behind the clouds, she was 'forced to take refuge iii her electric and from it .she "galleried" around the course. By the by,' a great mystery., has resulted from the little story-which appeared in Tues day's Bee, trlljng of Mrs. Parmer's disappointment in not" being able to ficial suggestion Mrs. Parmer has no idea. ' : . . Well, well,' the 1917 state woman's golf tournament is a thing of the past. Next year it is thbught fnat the meet will be held at the Field club, because that course 'has bee preferred by members of all clubs. Will present winner and runner-up appear to re peat their contest? Who will be next year's :, sensational playrs? Those questions and more remain to be ans wered, but this is certain that with Mrs. Walter G. Silver in the presi dent's chair, interest will be kept up and a worth-while ' contest will be played.
