I wore her rose on my coat.

Does she still delight to float.

The circus, the clubs and a few a very'
few morning affairs and the story of the
week Is told, excepting, of course, the de
parture or return of practically every boJy
one knows. The whist clubs members are
about the only ones In town who are go
Ing on as usual and It Is an open aeoret
now that the women put on their dressing
Jackets when they sit down to
the game In the morning and
wear them until the game li
over, late In the afternoon. If any body
has plans for this week they have not
announced them and to date, the Gymk
hana,' at the Country club, and the tennis
tournament at the Field club are the only
things to look forward to, excepting the
mid-week hops and dinners at both clubs.
Tomorrow the members of the Country
club that Is those who have not already
heard of It will be startled from their mid
Summer lethargy or the golf habit, by the
announcement that on next Saturday after
noon the Country club Is to have a gymk
hana. The announcement will be accom
panied by an Invitation to come and par
ticipate. Fortunately a program of the
events has been announced and these are
quite as promising as the name sounds,
For the women there will be the spoon and
olive race. In which the participants will
each start with spoons In their mouths and
an olive In each spoon. The woman who
reaches the goal first with the olive still
In her spoon will be awarded a prise. There
will also be a plate and egg race and a
putting figure. For the men there will be a
bottle race, a potato race and a baseball
figure, in skirts. A course will be marked
off out In front of the club with flags in
the colors of the club, navy blue and gold.
and seats will be placed about the course.
The following men have been appointed
Judges:' Messrs. O. W. Wattles, F. P. Kirk
endall and H. T. Lemlst. A committee of
women are working for the success of the
afternoon, its members being Miss Dewey,
Mrs. Charles Kountze, Mrs. John McShane,
Mrs. Arthur Qulou, Mrs. Fairfield and Mrs.
B. H. Sprague. They will be assisted by the
tournament committee. A marquee Is to be
erected In the background and here tea will
be served after the prises have been
awarded.
It la probable that the mysteries of "Un
cle Dick's" famous toast book to which
allusion was made In these columns last
week may be opened up to his friends bf
Its publication In a limited edition. The
precious compilation Is now In the custody
of Mr. Robert Patrick, who, with a few
friends of the late Mr. Berlin, have under
taken to guaranty the expenses of the print
ing. It If comes out, as It sure will, It
will be In a form whloh will make every
acquaintance and admirer of tha genial
Dick want a copy as a personal souvenir.
The waiters at the Omaha club have blos
somed out in ' natty new uniforms which
help give the establishment an up-to-date
appearance, although the dark blue color
hardly comports with the airiness of sum
mer which would naturally be expected.
A notice was posted at the Country club
last week that, to some extent at least,
will curtail the Informality that has been
one of the most pleasant . features of the
Saturday evening table d'hote dinner. It
reads: "Hereafter members reserving
tables for Saturday night dinners must fur
nish the club with a list of their guests.
No reservations will be accepted after Fri
day evening for the Saturday night' din
ner." And still the rumors of engagements con
tinue to take definite form and the promises
of the spring tor develop Into formal an
nouncements. This week brings the an
nouncement of the engagement of daughters
of two of Omaha's prominent families to
two men equally prominent In business and
social circles. Miss Elisabeth Cleveland
Allen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William
F. Allen, and Mr. James I Paxton, and
Miss Frances Purvis, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Purvis, to Mr. Alfred O. Elllck.
The wedding of Miss Allen and Mr. Paxton
will occur In the fall, but the time for the
other has. not been stated as yst at least
not publicly.
Among the most pleasant announcements
of the week and one that came aa a .nr.
prise to all, was that tof the marriage of
jjr. rreuericK LKe and Miss Katharine
Imogene Wright, daughter of Mr. and Mrs
A. J. Wright of Newton. la., which
eurred at their summer home at Lake
uKODoji. xnursaay.
Among the rules for the guidance of
members of the Lincoln Country club Is
one which reads: "No round or banking
games or dice throwing or betting shall
be permitted In the club." The Omaha
Country club has a rule that there shall
be no drinking over the bar and It Is said
that one of the Cincinnati clubs has re
cently posted a notice forbidding smoking
among women at leaat while they are
within the ground limits. Thla Is rather
a suggestive trio of prohibitions.
And now that every body else has tone

It Is, however, a superstition, born of an

relation to mad dogs or the development

one of the Egyptian appellations of the
River Nile, because Its heliacal rising (I. e..
Just before sunrise) gave warning that the
overflow of the river was about to corn-

summer, as reckoned by the ancients, were
forty In number, twenty before and twenty
after the heliacal rising of the Dog 8tar.
The rising of the Dog Star was tgnorantly
supposed to be the occasion . of the ex-

to these days. It was by mere accident that
the rising of the star coincided with tha
hottest season of the year, In times and
countries of the old astronomers. Tha tlma

ECHOES OF THE ANTE ROOM
"Wh.n the eastern people want rest they
must crawl Into a hole," said a returned
Shrlner last week, "for as Saratoga
Spring. I. said to be one of their resorts
for that tired feeling their ordinary life
must be something strenuous." This waa
said after several day. at home, the most
of the time being devoted to sleep. The
members of Tangier temple, with the ex
ception of Psst Imperial Potentate Akin,
have returned from the east, and, accord-
ng to their stories, there never was such
three days' Journey as that which they
put ln between Omaha and Saratoga
Springs. With receptions, banquets and
sight-seeing, first under the management
Medlnah temple at Chicago, then with
Moslem temple at Detroit Ishmalla temple
at Buffalo and Zlyara temple at Uttca, to
be thrown upon the mercy of the Troy
temple at the place of the council, wal
something which only strong constitutions
and good-fellowship could stand. It was
great trip and the Omaha Shrlner. had
an excellent opportunity to receive a re
turn for the treatment accorded visitors
few year, ago, when Tangier temple en
tertained the Imperial council. Saratoga
did Itself proud and the only complaint
that the visitors had wa. that the mem
ber, of the order ln that part of the state
never know when bedtime comes, and ex
pect ordinary western people to conform
with their way. Immediately.
One of the Interesting features nf the
council waa the action of the delegates
from St. Louis. . The membership desired
to go to that city for the next meeting,
but those men from Missouri got up and
raleed a howl which could be heard clear
to the Missouri river. They loved the
boy, but desired to have a rest some time
during the piping time, of the exposition
year, and It was to give the representa
tives of St. Louis a chance to secure quiet
ness for a few days that the council de
cided to hold Ita next meeting at Atlantic
City, N. J.
This week Is to be a lively one ln local
lodge circles. The first event will be the
visit of the members of the order of the
Knight, of Pythias to Plattsmouth tomor
row night. There will be about 100 mem
ber, who will visit the Plattsmouth lodge
on a fraternal visit snd the men at the
mouth of the Platte have made arrange
ment, to give them a rousing reception. A
special train over the Burlington will
carry them there and hack at the close of
the meeting.
The second local event Is the carnival of
the Woodmen of the World, which, opening
Monday evening, will continue for a week.
This carnival will. If promises are ful
filled, be one of the most Interesting of any
of the lodge events ,of the city. A special
program will be rendered on Wednesday
and Friday, the former being for members
of the society ln Omaha, South Omaha and
Council Bluffs, and the second for visitors
from other parts of the country. A special
train will be run on the second day from
the southern counties, bringing members
of the order from the Kansaa line, while
many visitor, will come on the regular
train, from other part, of the state.
On Saturday the picnic of the Odd Fel
low, will take place at Arlington. This Is
a state meeting under the auspices of a
committee from the subordinate lodge of
Arlington, and a number of Odd Fellows
of Omaha and Lincoln. Special trains will
be run from Omaha and Lincoln to the
park and will carry not only the members
of the order from these cities, but also
from the surrounding town.. It Is expected
that at least 4.000 member, of the order
wllr attend and an excellent program is
being arranged.
Taking advantage of this picnic the
Patriarch. Militant will hold a .tate review
which will be In the presence of the gen
eral commanding the. order in the United
States, General Raney of Iowa. The gen
eral will arrive In Omaha Friday and a re
ception tn hla honor will be given at the
hall that night. Canton Ezra Millard and
member, of the rank, ln the Immediate
vicinity will participate In the reception,
which will be elaborate. At the review at

the .tate but one will probably be repre
sented, making at leaat 300 member, of the
rank In line.

WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY
Miss Jean Hamilton, secretary of the
National league of Women Workers,
writes of the club movement among factory
women that It Is a success because these
clubs have been conducted by the women
themselves and without the assistance of
boards of women managers, because they
have Insisted upon being self-supporting,
meeting expenses through means of their
own devising and avoiding patronage from
outsiders. Much I. done In the way of en
tertainment and that Is a positive good.
ministering wisely to a craving. The use
ful members, much to the regret of the
older leaders In class work, often Incline
to embroidery rather than to the more
useful arts of sewing, cooking and house
keeping. However, curiously enough, many
girl, who begin with fancy work next take
up plain sewing. The younger members
also take kindly to talks on art and travel,
and It is told of a little factory girl, who
had been listening to an Imaginary trip
through Italy, that she said: "We have
something to talk about now at noon be
sides the haterulnrss of the forewoman and
one another's clothes." Again, through the
club abuses ln many factories have been
righted. In New York state the club,
maintain a mutual benefit fund, an alli
ance employment bureau, and a vacation
house. In Pennsylvania rest rooms, lunch
rooms and boarding homes have grown out
of the working girls' club.
Through the effort, of Mr. E. O. Bart-
lett of St. Paul, vice president of the
Sixth district of Nebraska, a nsw club has
been organized at North Loup, with Mrs.
Kate True as president, Mrs. Delia Chase
vice president, Miss Fannie McClelland re
cording secretary, Mrs. A. B. Prentice cor
responding secretary and Mrs. Guy Daun
treasurer. The Nolo Study club Is to be Its
name and American history has been taken
up a. the study for the first year. It i.
hoped that another club will be organized
at Scott. Bluff.
It 1. Mid that the Influence of the Na
tional Federation of Teacher, waa felt
more thl. year than ever before, and
there are some member, of the National
Educational association who predict that
It i. but a question of time until the Na
tional Educational association wilt become
subordinate to the younger and more ag
gressive organisations from the west. For
the first time In the history of the Na
tional Educational association a grade
teacher was elected last year as a director
of the association. This was Miss Cath
erine Groggln of Chicago. This year .he
was re-elected and four other women were
elected directors Miss May L. Scott of
Idaho, Miss Lydia A. Yates of North Car
olina, Miss Lucy Robinson of West Vir
ginia and Miss Estelle Reel of Wyoming.
The following officers were elected at the
closing session' of the Lake Placid con

tion was passed to co-operate with tho
New England Educational league to have
home economics made an elective study In
the public school. '
While the program for the Fremont
meetlnar of the Nebraska Federation Is .till

will open on Tuesday, October ( and con
tinue through Wednesday and Thursday.
The meeting of the Nebraska Library as
sociation I. to be held In Fremont Wednes

cured Chancellor Andrews of the Univer
sity of Nebraska to speak on "The Ethical
and Religious Education of the Public
Schools." during the educatlonul session,
