THE OMAHA DAILY HEE: SUNDAY, JUNE 1, 1002. LAWN FETE THE THING NOW Bociotj is Busy with Affairs Given Under Trees or on Verandas. ADVANTAGES MANIFOLD AND APPARENT Hostesses Enjoy Some Privileges and luminal! Irs aasl (iorili Find Heap of Opportunities for Enjoying Thtmarlrri, Last week nw the first o( the reilly large out-of-door affaire In the lawn fate given on Tuesday evening by Mr. and Mrs. Charles T. Kountze, for one of the visiting young women, the evening proving such a success that the popularity of the lan. porch and garden party seem to be established for the summer. With the opening of the Country and Field clubs, this charming va riety of summer entertainment has nearly been absorbed by the many attractions that make up the life, and doings of those In stitutions, the very nature of the places necessarily retatnlng them popular, for en tertaining there does relieve a hostess of to much responsibility and bother, but after all there are things about entertaining at a country club that outweigh even the - responsibility of the material details and the privilege of gathering about one just those whom on really wants, that Is, so far as society ever enjoys that privilege is uch a comfort. And then lawn parties are always such satisfactory things, that Is, If the weather Is fine or even halt way ao, for they admit of such a departure from the conventionalities. To begin with, there Is no danger of a cruBh for what hos tesa would over crowd her yard, and then there Is not only room, but a place for everybody and their fads. The woman who loves frills and attitudes Is really necessary to complete the effect of certain corners of every veranda and lawn that nothlngelae In the whole list of out-of-door settings could accomplish she and the languid man and of course, no one would expect her to engage In those things that attract the girl, who, for rea sons best known to herself, prefers whiis muslin and simple dimities or some other more or less intricate gown that admits of Its wearer's moving about freely and of other peoples doing likewise. And then, It fairly abounds In possibili ties for those very young men and the older ones they would Imitate, to whom there Is nothing new or Interesting under the suu. . There is so much room to walk about- alone and look Impressively solitary. But the Informality of the affair Is what chiefly commends It to the majority, the Informality and cxcluslvenesa of It, and It Is probable that among the young people at least, the lawn fete will retain a pop ular place all season. The formal opening of the aeanon at the Field club was a gala occasion. Indeed, and marked by a large attendance of those in terested In various contests of the after noon among them being many who have this year transferred their membership from the Country club. For those not Interested In the out-of-door program, there was dancing, Indoors or conversation parties on the var nda.

Woman's Work in Club and Charity And now we are beginning to hear of those organizations that are not going to Join the General Federation because of Its recent action In excluding from Its mem bership, clubs of colored women. It would seem that the judgment of an overwhelm ing majority of the recognised strongest woman's organization of the world regard ing the expediency of such an action, not to speak of the opinions of the colored educators and leaders who have done most for their race, might have some weight with these women, but as it appears to have none, the General Federation Is doubt less to be congratulated that these inde pendent thinkers deferred making their ap plication for membership until after this decision had been made.
