A lot of driftwood stories are afloat in
Omaha just now, thrown up by the June
floodtlde of the matrimonial sea, about
parental objections entered with more or
Inss vigor to the persistent stubbornness
of sons and daughters who thir.K it their
privilege to contract alliances for them
selves rather than to let papa and mamma
do the business for them. The father of
one of the principal partners in a forth
coming Lohengrin wedding march was ao
costed by a friend of the family the other
day with this greeting:
"Well, I see you're to have a wedding In
vmir hniiMhnM soin. t minrtniMi vnu are
open to congratulations!"
"I'm not so sure about that." came the
cautious reply. "These things don't always
go the way we want them and it may not
turn out to be a cause for congratula
tions." (
Now of course everyone will agree that
this was decidedly bad taste, - and even
If the parents had doubts or misgivings,
having allowed the affair to go to the pub
lishing of the bans, they should keep their
anxious solicitude to themselves and do
the beat they could to give the young
people a good start and keep them in the
middle of the stream that carries them
to success, and domestic happiness. Spread
ing broadcast the Information that their
own parents have no confidence In the
stability of the alliance certainly doesn't
help .things, but only puts additional ob
stacles in the path.
Along with the parents complaints against
children making matches not entirely by
their liking, an occasional protest Is raised
by ; the children against the affliction of
a new father or a new mother not of their
choosing. There has been a great deal,
comparatively speaking, of this In O.naha
of late widows and widowers taking on
consolation by a second nuptial knot. In
one impending case where property In
terests are at stake, the suggestion that
the relatives might disapprove met the re
sponse: "What if they do? I'm marrying to suit
myself. My daughter got married without
o much as asking me by your leave, al
though I would probably have said yes
without hesitation. I'm old enough to know
what I Want to do and I guess no one has
any tight to Interfere."
That is the kind of a spirit of Indepen
dence that commands admiration.
Linen showers for the budding bride have
long been staples in the line of wedding
party enUrtalnments. Everyone knows
what a linen shower Is. The girl friends
of the I. tar reformer utilise a farewell
party to present her each with a piece of
linen for the new household, usually of
the donor's own handiwork. Later Inno
vations have made Omaha brides the vlc-
tlms of variegated showers one had a pic
ture shower the other day which resulted
' In-an accumulation of pretty things to em
bellish the walla of the new home Mnd
another had n storking shower that In sure
to make her an attractive object when she
doei her rainy duy shopping later. And
new the shower has encircled the groom as
well as the bride, the man of the week's
wedding having been made the victim of
a necktie party a week ago. When we
speak of a necktie party we are usually
reminded of l rn til fly different function,
but this particular man would Just as soon
wear the hemp as some of the apparel
loaded onto him.
The bargain counters at the department
tores must have been denuded of their
choicest treasures In the line of "gent's
furnishings.".

The Woman's club of Atlanta. On haa -
little annual affair that might well serve

pea exhibit that onens June 1 and mn.
tlnues for several days. Prizes are given
ior variety, beauty and artistic arrange
ment and all women not nrn feast on ni a-ar.
doners whether members of the club or
not, are eligible to enter the competition.
Especial effort Is made tn Intel-oaf tha
women In the country districts to use these
beautiful flowers to benutlfy their prem
ises. At the close of the exhibit the flow
ers are sent to the hospitals. Such nn en
terprise might be profitably undertaken In
Omaha as there are still manv nnalirMl v
fences that might be converted Into things
of beauty, on the sunny side at least. If
some plan for Interesting their owners
coma Dut be devised.
The Chicago Woman's club has ever had
a reputation for doing unusual things end
us most recent project Is to furnish pure
milk to the poor of the city at cost. Thi
appalling mortality among children, cai'sed
so largely from Impure milk, has settled
the question with some of the women end
they have decided to waste no moro effort
or time In trying to persuade, compel or
Induce men to enforce the laws, tut will
go Into the milk business themselves. They
propose to establish a bottling and sterilis
ing plant and then to deliver the milk
about through the poorer quarters of the
city. They will also establish depots in
the tenement districts, where pure milk
may be procured at cost at any time. Ex
pensive as the plan may be, the women
declare they will see It successfully through,
and when It Is thoroughly established will
call for public subscriptions to support it.
The appointment of agents to' visit the
dairies and purchase milk only under the
cleanest conditions Is another of the Inno
vations of the enterprise.
A strong plea for the co-operation that
comes with federation Is made In the re-,
cently issued open letter by the executive
committee of the California federation.
Referring directly to the educational and
Industrial departments, it says: "So Kng
as children 6 years of age are employed n
mills and factories In any part of the
United States, and there Is that crying
need for uniform laws regarding child
labor; so long as women who live In moun
tains or on pralrlesi are hungering for
books and art; so long as there Is need of
creation of general sentiment for national
Irrigation bill homes for women and chil
dren may be created and preserved; so
long as the most vital work for social bet
terment can only bring results by co
operation, can It be that any club can say
that It has no responsibility In the larger
work, that it is enough that It dust Its own
room? Or, If it take a hand In the world
outside its own door, can it wisely say It
proposes to sweep In any direction It de
sires T"
Carroll D. Wright, United States Labor
commissioner, gives the following four rea.
sons why women workers receive smaller
pay than men. First, the woman comes
Into the industrial system of today as an
entirely new factor; second, she holds a
lower standard of industrial demands
caused to some extent by a lower standard
of life, both In physical and mental fea
tures; third, insufficient equipment, due not
to incapacity but to the thought that per
menancy of employment will be Inter
rupted by matrimony; also to the fact that
she lacks, so far, the Influence. that comes
from association and combination, and,
fourth, she Is not a political factor In so
ciety. Miss !ouls6 Poppenhelm, corresponding
secretary ot the General Federation, is
chairman of the educational committee of
the South Carolina federation, which is one
of the strongest departments of that or
ganization. The committee now has fifty
nine scholarships under Its control and
Miss Poppenhelm reported at the recent
convention that 110 applications had been
made for these. Four new scholarships !
were presented at the convention. It was
urged that the great need In the south
was for elementary schools rather than
higher education, and a committee waa ap
pointed to Investigate the delinquent chil
dren, who, regardless of age, or offence,
are confined Indiscriminately with hardened
criminals.
Now that the season for garden flowers
has come. It Is urged by those carrying the
work of the Emma Flower mission, that
all having garden flowers to give send them
to be distributed among the hospitals.
While flowers of any sort are always ap
preciated by the sick, the spring flowers are
cVJ j New
especially looked for st this sesson and
there have not been as many of these as
usual. The distribution Is mnrte every
Thursday morning and all who have flow
ers to give are requested to send them to
Mrs. George A. Hon gland at 418 South
Sixteenth street If It Is not convenient to
send the flowerr they will be called for if
Mrs. Hoagland la notified.
Mrs. McQaoM Anions Flood Victims,
The terrible condition of affairs In anl
about Kansas City, and particularly at
Argentine, Kan., during the last week
gave rise to much anxiety among the many
friends of Mrs Frances McQuold, widow of
the late Rev. John McQuold. former pastor
of the First Methodist Episcopal church
of this city, as to her safety and that of
her two little children. Telgrams sent to
her on last Monday were nver heard from
and finally a telegram was received here
by Mr. R. W. Breckenrldge from Dr. Oco.
Haley of Kansas City, to the effect that
Mrs. McQtinid and children were safe, but
that they had lost everything. Later n let
ter was received fron Mrs. McQunld. writ
ten on Monday, June 1, to Mr. Brecken
ridge, from which the following quotations
are made:
"We are safe at my sister's. This Is
certainly the most terrible experience I
have ever had. Everything Is gone. Water
two feet In the second story of our build
ing. I am afraid it will float. We left
Saturday evening; could not save anything
but a few papers and cloth?s and a suit
case. People are kind to me; but, oh my
books and home are gone." The books re
ferred to are what Mrs. McQuold kept of
the library of her husband.
The sad circumstances of Dr. McQuofd's
death are still remembered by his many
friends In this community. It will not be
forgotten that so far as Mrs. McQuold was
concerned, the burden laid upon her was
Increased by the birth of a daughter but
an hour or two before Dr. McQuoid's death,
and she was left penniless to face the
world with two babies. Hor ourjge in
facing the duties thus put upon her and her
desire to be Independent, have niado many
friends for her who knew her only slightly
before her husband's death.
Soon after Dr. McQuold died she en
gaged In a small millinery business at Ar
gentine, Kan., and had succeeded In earn
ing a living for herself and children, when
this Inst catastrophe came upon her. Sho
lived In the building where she conducted
her business, and her stock and store are
a total loss. It Is proposed that her friends
and the friends and admirers of her de
ceased husband shall contribute to a purse
for her In this extremity. It is believed
that a considerable sum will willingly be
contributed In order to give this estimable
woman a start In life again.
Checks can be sent to Mr. C. C. Belden
at the store of Thompson, Selden Co., or
to the editor of this paper.
