People of Omaha and
Their Friend".
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.

WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY
All the woman's clubs of any consequence
of Greater New York were represented at
the macs meeting of club women called on
TuesJay afternoon to consider the prartl
caMllty and advlrablllty of forming New
York City federation. 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.
