Darin the I -a at Wk.
ft the week Just passed has been remark
able for any thing whatever, It baa been for
the extraordinary dullness or thin, for
there baa been scarcely enough going on
to keep aoclety awake. Only the middle
of June and not enough of the fashionables
left In town to lnaure success of any
sort of entertainment, at least thla la the
explanation of the lull aa given by those
who ordinarily might be expected to do
something at thla season of the year.
Of course, there have been the weddings,
and of course, In calling the week dull, they
have not been taken Into account at all,
for, aa every one knows, June weddings are
things apart from all ordinary happenings
and command an InfWeat beyond affairs of
more commonplace nature. And auch pretty
affairs aa they have been too, all home
weddings and bo simple and unpretentious
with their decoratlona of greens and aprlng
flowera and their dainty, airy summer
gowna that not a few of the prospective
October brldee have half way regretted their
choice of month, or at leaat that sweet peaa
and elderberry bloasoms do not bloom In
the fall.
The dancing party given on Thursday
evening by Judge Wool worth In compliment
to four of the prospective debutantes, was
a wholly delightful occasion, being the first
reunion of the summer of the young people
Just home from achool and tboir enthusiasm
and keen enjoyment waa refreshing Indeed,
giving promise of other similar affairs In
future.

reception from 8 until 11 o'clock on Tues
day evening. They will be assisted by
years ago, when Mrs. Ella W. Peattle re
signed the presidency after the first open
meeting In the (all to go to Chicago, prom
ises to greatly facilitate matters in the
present emergency, and it Is probable that
that precedent will ba followed in thla
caae. According to article vlil of the by
laws: "Vacancies In office shall be filled
by persons appointed by the executive com
mittee to serve until the next annual meet
ing." It 1b not probable, however, that
the executive committee will care to as
sume this responsibility, and there will
likely be an election by ths club. While
there haa been no formal conference re
garding the probable plan, the majority
of the club women evidently prefer this
method, and that they are pretty generally
united in their choice of Mra. Keysor's
successor is also evident. The only thing
that seems to stand in the way la ths fact
that the woman of their choice decidedly
declined a nomination tor that office In the
spring. This woman la Mrs. J. H. Dumont,
and it Is probable that the club's member
ship does not boast one more generally
popular capable of filling tba office of presi
dent than she. As past vice president her
ability as a presiding officer has frequently
been displayed, while her efficient work as
a committee woman has gained for her the
confidence of not only the club women, but
of tbe citizens as well, which Is moat valu
able to an organisation that repreaents In
a community what the Omaha Woman'a club
doea.

SHAPELINESS
Among the many good features that
f;o far toward making Sorosls the
tadlng shoe for women of America
Is their shapeliness. They fit when
others fall. If you have been paying
15.00 and $6.00 for your footwear, after
wearing one pair of Boroala ot 13. 60
always you will stop and ponder over
what good came of that extra $1.60
and 12.60 which you used to pity.
It went to make the high priced
shoe dealer richer, because you had
no better value, no hotter style, no
better tit, than you now get in Surosls
for 83.60.
