The Demand Knrn Club House.
There Is a growing feeling among the
iCnembcr * * of the Omaha and Union clubs that
it would bo better for all interests If the two
clubs could unite under one charter , nnd then
build a oluh house in keeping with the growth
nnd Importance of the metropolis of Ne
braska. Kansas City , Den\cr , DCS Molues ,
Chicago , nil havq handsome club buildings ,
but Omaha with half a dozen strong clubs
numcricall ) and financially only bousts of
two club bouses , the German club and the
Wheel club , the other social organizations
occupjiag rooms in the third and fourth
Btorits of buildings throughout the city
Thocauses which led to the organization
of the Uiiiun club , have long slnco been for
gotten ; the men who were instrumental In
its building up am very often
seen at the Omaha club nnd
certainly Union club men cannot complain
" ; hat the Omaha members do not visit their
> ms. In fact , there Is a most friendly feel-
lug between the members of both organiza
tions , aod while the clubs are paying ex-
pomes , still the treasurj is u ry much
depleted when each , fiscal jear draws to a
close
It Is important that Omaha should Have a
mngnlllccnt club building ; the prominence
of the city demands that there should bo a
place \vhero distinguished men could bo en
tertained without taxing the resources of the
IJioteU. Iho Omnha club rooms nro small.
$ ho hrjro membership alone fills them , and
the WHO state of affairs exists with the
Union club , although Its quirters arc much
larger. Could some fair basis be agreed upon
Whereby these clubs could come together. It
would boot incalculable benefit to the club
llfo of Oiuiha , and bo the means of giving to
the city o building rivaling the best In the
Western country.

a remarkable woman. Her salon la the
Paubourg St. Germain is delightful ; eho
is a splendid horsewoman ! her hunting

She ( ollovs tlio hunt with ho r sous ,

ol society and ol srfort does not prevent
the duchesso from laving very serious
rdifjious nnd political convictions. She
is it fervent Ctitholic nnd n monarchist
"SVhon she gave her :5,000,000 franci
