Not for years, even during the holiday eason, has a single week been more re- plete with brilliant affairs than the one Just closed. Beginning with a dozen smart gathering n Monday, every day was crowded wl'h j affairs of slxe and Importance that would ordinarily render them conspicuous on the season's calendar; as It was, they followed In a quick succession that rendered tha tTrk one long, brilliant whirl of gaycty that only ended at midnight on Saturday night. Throunhout the week the young people at homo from school have figured prominently, but not more so than their alder sisters and brothers, their parents nd grandparents; there was entertainment for everybody and everybody participated until by the time New Year's day festivi ties had been accomplished, this samo "everybody" excepting only the college, people was Just a bit tired out, and tho weeks'end affairs, though among the smart est of all, scarcely occasioned the enthu siasm that would ordinarily have attendrd them. It la an open secret that while tho cotillion of Friday evening was among the most anticipated of the week's gatherings, half the women were too tired to care to dannc or even enjoy the evening, and in consequence well, no one was especially enthusiastic about It next day. . Of course, Thursday overshadowed every other day and society is still chatting about what happened and what did not happen on the first day of tho year. In honor of Mrs. Jacob Gould Schurman, Mrs. Henry It. Penney and Mrs. Char!e C. Rosewater gave a beautiful reception from 4 until 6 o'clock on Saturday afternoon at the borne of Mrs. Penney, 104 North Thirty first avenue, about 300 cards having been Issued. Throughout the house the Cornell colors, red and white, were used in tho details of a most effective decoration, not the least of which wero several Cornell banners. Tho windows had been darkened nd In the various rooms a soft red glow from the shaded chandeliers and numerous candles enhanced the effectiveness of the trimmings.

To be sure this enterprise met most bitter opposition from itornn of (he most influential members of one of the most Influential organizations, but with an equal cumber of equally strong women Interested to hear a discussion of the plan from both sides, if not personally In favor of It, the meeting was accom llshed. Among Its most persistent op posers were Mrs. Ravcnhtll of Sorosls, Mrs. Llllle Devereaux Blake and Rev. Phoebe Hanford. The meeting waa held at Lotus hall and was largely attended. Shortly after It had been railed to order a ' disposition to confuse the temporary chairman, Mrs. Mary Hastings, became manifest, but that lady proved far too experienced for the success of this plan and the opposing faction soon resorted to vehement speeches to defeat the plan for formal organization. Mrs. Belle Dl Ri vera had called the meeting to order and made a strong plea in favor of it, being seconded by Mrs. Dore Lyon, president of Eclectic, Mrs. Augustine J. Wilson, presi dent of the East End Women's Republican club, two of the women who had signed the call for the meeting; Mme. Von Klemmer, Mme. Anna A. Keating of Brooklyn, Mrs. Hi stings and others. It waa declared by the opposition that the organization of the club of Greater New York would in spite of everything disrupt the New York State Federation, dividing the east and west, or else that New York would govern the en tire organization. Mrs. Lyon denied that the proposed organization was Intended to weaken the state federation, as had been asserted by previous speakers, and pointed out as a fenture to Its advantage that it would enable the city clubs to meet more frequently and better manage the elections of the state federation. A vote In favor of the city federation was Anally carried and January 15 set as the date for formal organization, and a committee appointed to prepare a clrculnr to be sent to all clubs requesting that delegates be appointed. An active canvass has begun In behalf of Mrs. Dore Lyon and Mrs. Clarence Burns for the presidency of the prospective or ganization. It is claimed by those opposing the city federation that the whole plan is a scheme of Mrs. Lyon, who is In line for the presi dency of the New York State Federation, and proposes to use this city organization to promote her own interests. The regular monthly meeting of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Railway Mall Service of Omaha, SoutS Omaha and Coun cil Bluffs was held on Wednesday after noon at the home of Mrs. C. E. Anderson of 1410 Falrmount avenue. Council Bluffs, the attendance being larger than usual. In connection with the study of household economics, Mrs. D. C. Dodds of Omaha gave a most Interesting paper on "Chem istry." The following announcement of subjects for the rest of the club year, In the study of civil service reform, waa made, Mrs. C. C.

Under the auspices of the Concord, Mass., Woman's club, a concert was given recently, the proceeds to be used for a scholarship in tho Kentucky Mountain Set tlement school.
