Of course, Mrs. ratrlck Campbell came
first of everthlng last week and those who
did Dot see her talked about her had to
talk about her. In fact, for "everybody"
went. ADd after Mrs. Campbell came the
openings, and the openings were so en
gaging, and more than that, too, for there
are things ahead for society and the woman
who would bold her own has had to have
a thought for what abe Is to wear. Bo a
good part of the week has been spent
studying models, and then trying to carry
Ihem In the mind until a convenient time
for puttlDg them on paper. In fact, "stren
uous" is the only word to express it, ac
cording to the women themselves, for there
has never been a time when society was
more interested in things to wear, which
Is saying a great deal. And with all of
this, there has been the regular round of
teas and dinners and luncheons and card
parties, which, by the way, have been far
more numerous than is generally known,
for the hostess who would entertain now
adays ia bound to see to it that the per
sonnel of her company does not become
generally known.
This week Is rather promising, consid
ering. On Monday the last of the Lenten mu
lcales to be given in the evening at
Kountze Memorial church will be the event
of the day, though there are several other
things on for that night, among them the
meeting of the Bon Ton Card club at the
tome of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Norton
and the meeting of the Hanscom Park Whist
club, entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Charles
K. Urquhart. Mrs. Luther Kountze will
entertain the Cooking club luncheon at 1
o'clock. (

slcale will meet at the home of Mrs. F.
A. Cudahy; Mrs. George Moore will en
tertain the practice whist; the Southwest
Dancing club will be given a complimentary
party in the evening; Mrs. Floyd Smith

of the meeting of the Euchre club at the
home of the former; the Thorbegwof Card
club will hold its last meeting of the win
ter at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W.
Griffith; Mrs. Berger will entertain the

The tanouncement waa mad last week
by ir. albert Heller of the engagement of
his daughter, Miss Louise Heller, and Mr.
Morris Strauss. Owing to the tact that
the family has been in mourning no formal
engagement reception will be held. Miss
Heller baa a wide circle of friends in
Omaha, having been born and educated here,
although after graduation from the high
school she spent several winters in Chi
cago, where she made her debut into
society, Mr. Strauss holds a responsible
pogtMca with one of the big meat packing
eon- ' South Omaha.
Perhaps the, most seriously discussed
subject among the fashionables of late Is
the prospective Horse show.' Not since the
Inauguration of the Ak-Sar-Ben carnival
festivities has society entered Into the spirit
of a thing so seriously or planned and
looked forward to It with more eagerness.
This la especially true among the women,
and, by the way. It Is the woman who, to
a very large extent, determine the fash
ionable success of this sort of occasion.
They are scarcely anticipating it more than
the men, however, and it la said that new
gowns, and handsome ones at that, are com
ing easier tbla spring than for many a aea.
son past. There are to be gowns and gowns
and gowns, different ones for every appear
ance, and tbla Is the secret of some of
the numerous trips to Chicago of late
though, of course, much of this finery will
not be delivered much before the week of
the horse show, probably some time in Sep
tember. Missea Emma and Sadie Kent and Mlsa

MARY HOLLANO KINKAIO'S NEW BOOK
laalat l.ove Story t'harmlaaly Told
by a Wibii M ho la Well Re
membered Locally for
Her Peraoaallty.
Mary Holland Klnkaid, a well known for
mer resident of Omaha, is the latest news
paper woman to join the ranks of book
authors. She has restrained herself In one
essential respect, and for her first flight has
not written a story of the west not that she
Is not familiar with the wet, for the knows
It well, and Its people too, but probably
because ot that very knowledge. Her story
is of love-and of the futility of men and
women undertaking to lead lives without It.
In her book a quaint sect., which may
have Its prototype in the Dunkards of
Pennsylvania, with which sect Mrs. Kln
kaid was familiar In her girlhood days,
discourages marriage and practices celi
bacy. Into its midst comes a man from
the outside world, and ho straightway falls
In love with the young woman who ha
been singled out as the prophetess of the
community. This very simple plot serves
to Incite a very Ingenious working out.
Illustrating the struggles of the natural
Impulses c-f the young woman against all
the precepts and examples of ber educa
tion, training and environment. In the end
they are banished from the community and
go elsewhere to be wedded, while the col
ony casts sbout for another prophetess less
likely to succumb to the onset of the little
archer. The story Is told tn quaint, but
charming English, with the potntcdness of
a newspaper writer, yet losing nothing for
Its lack of prolixity. The delicious humor
of the author crops out all tbe way and
adds not a little to the piquancy of the
simple story.
Her Life In Omaha.
Many Omaha people will find special de
light in the book, "Walda" by name, be
cause of the personal acquaaintance with
the author, who, as Mary Hollaed Little,
did her first work as a newspaper reporter
on the old Herald. She Joined the repor
torlal staff of the Herald in the early sum
mer of 1889, and was soon busy on general
assignment work. From the beginning she
showed great aptitude and soon developed
one of the rarest combinations a reporter
who could feel like a woman, yet write like
a man. Bright and earnest, she look great
lrlerest in her work, and soon attracted
attention outside the local room of tbe
paper. During the latter part of that sum
mer she attended the Cuautauqua assem
blies at Crete and Beatrice. Here she en
countered probably the most unpleasant In
cident of her whole newspaper experience.
A preacher who bad been offended by some
of the fun she bad quietly poked at some
features of the Chautauqua he was Inter
ested In, went out of his way to allude
slightingly to her from his pulpit. After
the matter had been properly presented to
the reverend gentleman, he apologized fully
from his pulpit for his unwarranted at
tack. During the winter Mrs. Kinkald
(she was still Mary Holland Little) was
busy in every department of newspaper
work, and the next summer, when the great
prohibition campaign was being waged and
Edward Rosewater and John L. Webster
were doing dally debates against Rev. Sam
Small, Samuel Dickey and Prof. Rankin,
Mrs. Klnkaid had the assignment for the
World-Herald, and covered the work in
a most satisfactory manner. It was a
tremendous physical task, but for weeks
Mrs. Kinkald traveled from town to town
over Nebraska, rending daily columns of
matter to her paper, keeping fully abreast
with the activities of the campaign and
tincturing the whole with her never-fall
ing sense of humor.
Career in Colorado.
In 1S91 she gave up newspaper work and
vas married to Mr. John T. Kinkald of
Ouray, Colo., h mining man and attorney,
and brother of Congressman Kinkald of
the Sixth Nebraska district. When the
ailver crash came to Colorado, Mr. Kinkald
removed with his family to Denver, and
took up tbe practice ot law. Domestic dif
ficulties ended in separation, and Mrs.
Kinkald resumed newspaper work to sup
port herself and child. She was employed
on the Times ot Denver when, in 1S97,
Grace Espey Patton was elected to be
stats superintendent of public schools for
Colorado, and ahe chose Mrs. Klnkaid to
be her deputy. In office she gained a still
further Insight Into the workings ef prac
tical politics. Just before her terra ended
she waa asked by the management of the
Chicago Inter Ocean to take charge of the
woman's department of that paper and to
do editorial work. This place she accepted,
ber liking for newspaper work being greater
than her taste for politics. When Lansing
Warren disposed of his Interests In the
Inter Ocean and purchased the Milwaukee
Sontlnel he asked Mrs. Kinkald to Join bis
new staff, where she Is now located as
editor of the woman's department of the
Sentinel.
Personally Mrs. Kinkald ia one ot
the most charming of women. She la ear
neat and sympathetie In all her work' and
conversation. One of her chief grievances
In a literary way has long been the fact
that persona with only a superficial knowl
edge of the toplo have persisted In writing
of western life. During a conversation with
an Omaha friend out at Denver one day,
while ahe was tn office, she said: "Some
day I mean to write a western story that
will show the world, or those that read It,
just what western men and women are
like." If ever she aets about thla under
takingand "Walda" may be only the fore
runner ot It readers of books may feel
assured that they will get a atory In which
the characters will be sketched from life,
as real western men and women, not cari
catures. In addition to our large line of Imported
bats, we have Just received a varied and
beautiful assortment of Easter hats. Call
snd see our styles and get prices. Davles,

WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY
The annual letter of the president ot the
Nebraska Federation of Women's Clubs,
published In the federation year book. Just
cut. Includes two suggestions that. Inde
pendent of the rest ot the letter, are most
timely and they may well -be accepted by
all clubs. First, "Federation day baa been
observed by many clubs, but will not each
club still make room on It a program for
the open consideration of the contents of
this book? Cannot the book be put Into
circulation In alphabetical order? Each
department leader In the larger clubs can
easily reach her members." Second, "The
business ot the federation In all Its depart
ments would be greatly facilitated by
greater promptness and more businesslike
methods on the part of club women."
In view of the possibilities of the year
book, not to speak of the expenditure of
effort and money that Its Issue annually
entails, It seems surprising thst such a re
quest should be necessary. Oue would
rather expect this anxiety to come from
the club women rather than from the pres
ldent of the state federation, and tbe slack
ness on their part In posting themselves
regarding the affairs of the federation Is
sesreely consistent with their pretenses. A
copy of the year book is sent to the presl
dent of every club In the federation and
there are but few of the larger clubs that
have not more than one copy. With this
provision there seems littlo excuse for any
woman. In the smaller clubs at least, not
being familiar with at least tbe business
mattera upon which their representatlvea
are to vole at the state convention, and to
vote upon these matters Intelligently re
quires something more than hearing them
presented for the first time at the state
meeting.
It was for the purpose of acquainting the
women with federation business that Fed
eration day was established, but tbe possi
bilities of that day seems to be so generally
misunderstood or distorted that it has in
the main become an occasion for vlslta and
talks from state officers, or reports of dele
gates of the state meeting. Desirable and
helpful to all concerned as these visits
from state officers may be, It must be ad
mitted that, coming early in the year, as
Federation day generally does, most of
these officers are new In their positions and
can renlly give the Hostess club little help
ful Information or advice, and it is a mis
take to give the valuable .time of that oc
casion to courtesy when It might be so
much more profitably devoted to the pre
sentation of federation business.
TJils lack of understanding of state affairs
has been Illustrated during the fall and
winter.. The Columbus convention voted
the support of the 'clubs to four legislative
measures, but It would be safe to estimate
that not to exceed a dozen clubs have had
any subsequent explanation or considera
tion of these measurea that they are
pledged to support. In consequence a few
have done the work (as usual) and a ma
jority have done a great deal of grumbling
and wondered why they are. not taken seri
ously. The property rights bill and the
library extension work have had a hearing
before the local club, but the juvenile
court bill rod the pure food bill are not
generally understood even now. And this
state ot affairs can hardly be charged to a
lack of time, for upon several occasions the
business hour has not been crowded snd on
one occasion the hour was given over to sn
address by an outsider who drew an audi
ence chiefly of outsiders. And this slack
ness is not limited' to state federation af
fairs alone, tor ; even less seems to be
known by the women generally of general
federation business, as was Illustrated pre
vious to the Los Angeles meeting, when not
only surprising' Ignorance ot the coming
issues war manifested, but even more sur
prising indifference.
The music department of the Woman's
club has prepared a special program for
Friday morning's meeting, which is to be
Issued later.
I. R. Andrews will address the law class
ot the Woman's club on Thursday after
noon, his subject to be. "The Relation ot
Master and Servant." This will be the
first of a series of lectures on the division
of law known as "Domestic Relation," such
as thst of parent and child, husband and
wife, and guardian and ward.
The program for Monday's open meeting
of the Woman's club will be given by the
department of English literature. Dr.
Herring will give a reading and lecture
on Browning's "The Ring an1 the Book,"
and Mr. T. J. Kelly will alng one of Brown
ing's lyrics.
The Nebraska delegation to the New Or
leans convention ot the National Woman
Suffrage association has secured Miss Ge.il
Laughltn for an eight weeks' tour of Ne
braska for a series of conferences to be
held In the larger towns. Miss Laugblln
will return to Omaha with Miss Laura A.
Gregg, atate organizer, and the tour will
begin about April 1. The conferencea will
consist ot an afternoon meeting to be ad
dressed by Miss Gregg and an evening
session to be addressed by Miss Langhlin.
Thla brilliant speaker was among the most
popular at the convention. She Is not un
known In Nebraska, having made a brief
trip through the state a year ago. Miss
Gregg expects to return to Omaha the early
part of the week. The other Nebraska
representatives at the convention were:
Mra. Clara Young of Broken Bow, Mrs. A.
J. Marble of Table Rock and Mra. Myrtle
Marble ot Humboldt.
A settlement house has been established
In Manila recently and the women who
are conducting It have Issued an appeal
to the American women of the Philippines,
which reads in part as follows:
Our "eettlement houBe" in Manila haa
been started not for purposes of proselyt
lam, but that its worker living among
the natives, may exemplify the christian
life in its spirit of helpfulness. We shall
try to get Into clone touch with the common
people, learn their language, know their
dlmciltles. see things as they see them.
We shall have a w-ll-equlpp-d dispensary,
with uBlstance of skilled physicians, na
tive and American. A kindergarten ta pro
vided: otber aKeiielee of ministration will
doubtless be developed bb time goes on.
We particularly wltth to have it understood
that the use of any equipment which may
tie gathered here and any experiences which
we may acquire, we shall gladly share with
ethers. ,
To sum up and apply u"r circular ts
thus an appeal to American women:
1. To enter upon their residence In the
Philippine, whether It Is to be brief or
protracted, under a sentfe of responsibility.
2. To beware of adopting a prejudiced or
riexplHing or despairing attitude toward the
people of the hind. Their blood, their tem
perameut. all their antecedents, are differ
ent from ours. It will take a very long
lime at best before we can understand
them. . , ,
S. That earn American woman should
make some definite and individual effort for
ihe betterment, the well-being, of some
Filipino neighbor; this in a persistent. In
tellisent way. We expect to txf able to
furnish from aettlement houce, upon, appli
cation, such reineriiea and appliances as
will be most frequently needed, and we In
vite the vialts or correspondence of those
who aro Interested. .
4. To take advantage of any opportunity
to train aiid teach the natives.
t. To consider whether some sort of y
koclatlon with our aettlement work would
not help them and us alike to a better ful
fillment of our common reponalbiUty.
