o TI7E OMAnA DAILY EEE: SUKPAT, MAKCII 22, IPOrt. SOCIETY'S OUTLOOK IS DDI Etason Begini to Ta't on Real Sackcloth and Aihfti Aspect. WEEK HOLDS VERY LITTLE OF PROMISE Weddings to Camp After Easter Are Being Announced and the I.Nt la Coming to Ooodljr Proportions. Raalrr Hats. New Yort Timet. At Eastcrtldn a woman's hat Is foremost on her nilnd; She wants the very latent style, 1 he nmnt expfiiHlvn kind; All through the day. all through the night, About It she will chat; The while ber husband has to wear Ilia old plus: bat. On Raster day she will parade AIodk the avenue; Her bonnet triuimed with violets. And costly roaes. too: be Is the cynosure of eyes. The subject of each chat. The while ber husband calmly wears . His old ' Plug- hat. Tomorrow will close the season of the Monday evening table d'hote dinner at the Omaha club and society will be reluctant to give It up, too, for without doubt it has been one of tberaartent and most satisfac tory Institutions of the winter and has done mora than any other agency to stim ulate the fashionables to certain things that they have hiterto been a bit dilatory In adopting. As one young matron ex pressed It who enter talus a great deal, "It Is the most up-to-date Institution we have." While the dinner lists for Monday evening have not yet been given out, the attendance promises to be larger than It was last week and there is to be at least one party of size. The week's calonaar Is anything but promising so far as announced and things promise to be unusually quiet, even for Lent. On Monday Mrs. Arthur Pinto will enter tain the Practice Whist and Mrs. W. P. Mikesell will entertain the Hanscom Park Sewing circle of the Visiting Nurses' asso ciation. On Tuesday Mrs. Dilworth is to be hostess 'of the meeting of the South Side Whist club, the meeting to be rather exceptional in that the men friends of the members are to be included. At 11 o'clock the board of directors of the Young Women's Christian association will give a breakfast to about 200 guests; In the evening a number of young people will present the little comedy, "Mr. Bob," at the Metropolitan club. Miss Ellen Mc Ehane will entertain the Euchre club. On Wednesday evening Mrs. N. H. Nelson will entertain at cards. ' ' On Friday the Woman's alliance of t'ntty church will give a card party at the homo of Mrs. A. I). Hoag, In Kountze place, and In tba evening Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Yetter will entertain at cards. On Saturday Mr. end Mrs. Rogers enter tain the Chafing Dish clu: the dinner for men at the Omaha club and the last of the Lenten muslcalea at Kountze Memorial church. It la beginning to look as though society la to have some more substantial assurance than gossip of a whole lot of weddings this spring, for though It la still early, the engagement announcements are beginning to come and many of them accompanied by tho wedding date. If any dependence la to be placed upon what some of these people are saying about themselves, the announcements are not all out yet, and never will be, for It is probable that the wedding cards will be issued directly after Easter. . At least two weddings of ilze and consequence are to occur the week following Easter, qne a church wedding and the other a home wedding, and If hnlf the people who wIbd to entertain In honor at the prospective brides are successful In their arrangements the glven-ln-bonor at fairs will begin before the close of the Lenten season. Among the most pleasant things In pros pect for the post-Lenten season is a cotil lion that, according to gossip, la to be given by a number of "the girls" aa a re turn to the men who gave the series of eotllllons during the winter. The personnel f the prospective hostesses baa not yet been announced. The marriage of Dr. George L. Miller and Miss Frances M. Erlggs, which occurred st Arbor Lodge, Nebraska City, on Tuesday afternoon, was among the most pleasant surprises of the week.

TER F-2955. J607 FARNAM STREET. Preparation has commenced for the next annual meeting of tho Nebraska Federation of Women's clubs to be held In Fremout October 6, 7 and 8, Inclusive, the program committeo having been called together on Wednesday to meet with the chairmen of the various standing committee and several of the state officers. The meeting was held Wednesday morningat the Hotel Lincoln In Lincoln, and was attended by Mmes. C. J. Fordyce of University Place, Smith of Omaha, Minnie CUne of Minden and E. J. Hainer of Aurora, of the program com mittee; Mrs. Harriet S. MacMurphy of Omaha, of the household, economics com mittee; Mrs. C. S. Langwortby of Seward, chairman of the art committee; Mra. E. L. Hinnian of Lincoln, chairman of the edu cational committee; Mrs. W. O. L. Taylor of Lincoln, chairman of the civics com mittee; Mrs. A. A. Scott of Lincoln of the reciprocity bureau; Mrs. W. E. Page of Syra cuse, state president; Mrs. H. M. Bushnell of Lincoln, state auditor; Mrs. F. M. Hall of Lincoln, former chairman of the art committee; Mrs. W. H. Clemmons, Miss Nanette McCarn and Mrs. D. V. Stephens of the local committee on entertainment of Fremont. Mrs. H. M. Bushnell represented the Industrial committee in the absence of Mrs. C. S. Loblngler. The purpose of the meeting was for conference rather than the transaction of business, suggestions be ing made by the different committee chair men for their respective programs. It was the judgment of all that there should be fewer papers and more time for the dis cussion of the subjects presented; that the time be employed to draw out sug gestions from the women generally rather than to hearing the opinions of a few, It being especially desirable that there be an exchange of the working experience of the Individual clubs. The afternoon aesslons are to be but two hours long, from 2 until 4 o'clock, and the remainder of the time will be devoted to conferences on the va rious lines of work. This plan, It Is be lieved, will enable the women to get what they wish In any of the departments and will admit of several conferences on the same subject for those who wish It. The presence of Mrs. Denlson, president of the General Federation, promises to be one of the pleasant features of the meet ing, Mrs. Denlson having agreed to be present provided her time can be arranged to compass the meetings of several of tho western federations which occur about that time. Aa the Nebraska Library association will be In session In Fremont at the same tlnm as the federation. It Is probable to view of the general interest of cluba in library work, that one session will be co-operative probably the session when the library as sociation will have lta strongest speaker. It was also suggested that in the Interest of household economics, which claims the interest of so many women, that a model kitchen be arranged and a dietetic luncheon be served. It is doubtful If this plan can be carried out owing to the work It would entail, unless the women of Fremont feel Inclined to undertake It. There will be co operation of the education and household economics committees, however, in some feature of on of their programs. Some emphasis of the work of the reci procity bureau will be another innovation, an explanation of the work and suggestion of lis advantages and how to embrace them, being the preferred plan. It was decided that the social session be postponed until the last, that It might not interfere with the work of the convention. It Is to be hoped that similar caution will b ex ercised to prevent the over-emphasis of other features, programs and the like, that in spite of previous experience, are an nually allowed to crowd the buslneua ses sions and that, with their acknowledged over long or too numerous papers, occupy tlmo that might be much more profitably devoted even to receptions and tas, for such programs ar an Injustice U con cerned. Following the morning's business the vis iting women, who bad been met with car riages at the atatlon by th Lincoln women. were taken to th home of Mrs. E. E. Labr, where they were entertained at luncheon, Mrs. Lahr. Mrs. A. W. Field and Mra. H. M. Bushnell being hostesses. It was an elaborate affair and waa followed by another brief business session. "Deestrlct Skule" as a means of raising their share of the obligation, and their ef fort was most successful. Tho educational meeting of the Woman's Christian Temperance nnlon will be held at the rooms of the Young Woman'a Christian association next Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock. The program will consist of a symposium, each member present being called upon to state, Drst, why she joined the union; second, what one of the forty two departments of work she considers of the most importance at the present time. Members are urged to come prepared to take rart. All women Interested In women's work are Invited. The annual conference of the national congress of mothers will be held this year at Detroit, May 6 to 8. To the board of management tho congress has intrusted the conduct of its business for three years, thus giving mere time for conf?ren',e8, lec tures and discussions. An Important fea ture of the work of the congress is to secure tho co-operation of home and S'hool. which has been effected in hundreds of schools on plans outlined by the congress.
