Oreen, a euchre party; Ml Kllpatrlck, a luncheon; Mr. I,uther Kountse, a lunt-h-ton; Mr. McClanahun and Mrs. Conklln a musics If. Two more days and then Lent. And evi dently society means to keep Lent this year, too, for tomorrow and next day are fairly crowded with things; luncheons and teas and dances and dinners, and after that. If anybody contemplate giving any thing else this week, the fact has not been announced. Of course, everybody will not keep Lent, but then there are so many who will that a really large affair will be out of the question for the next forty days unless It be the "birthday party" of the Visiting; Nurses' association, which Is always an event regardless of the seison, the weather or whatever el happens to be scheduled for the same day. But the birthday party Is given for charity." And then, too, there will be the Euchre club and the musicals and the Monday night dinner at the Omaha club, and the Sunday evening suppers at the club and ever so many other places for the Sunday supper has become established and, of course, the whist clubs. And now that everything: I over for a while ever so many people are going to go south for a few weeks, Just to piece out and to get away from the bad weather. One of the sweetest and brightest of the debutantes Is the most recent victim of the evidently too expensive taste of some othtr member of the set that attends the most fashionable and exclusive affairs, and her confidence haa been rudely shaken by the experience. Among her debut outfit Is a handsome cloth coat made by a I'arls tailor during her recent visit to that city, the garment bearing Its maker's name, a bit of woven silk lettering, perhaps 1x3 Inches, made fast to the lining. Of course any woman Is pardonable for a degree of pride In a Paris made garment and for wishing to retain this modest evidence of its origin, especially as such luxuries are not possible to all even In society. The feelings of this debutante can be Imagined, then, when a few days ago she discovered that the tailor's mark had been cut out of her coat and In such a way that It might be at tached to the lining of another garment. Just when the dipping was dune, she la unable to tell, but she had worn the coat but three times since she last noticed the mark and on these occasions the garment waa laid off only In the dressing rooms of her hostesses. Of course there are other women In town who wear Imported gar ments, but just now the feminine half of society has Its eyes open for maker's marks and the garments that bear the mark of a certain Paris tailor are looked upon with suspicion. The next cotllUon will he danced Monday evening at Chambers.' It Is to be a Val entine party and a feature of the evening will be a Valentine box, to which each guest has been requested to contribute a valentine. The cotillion will begin at half after I o'clock. Mrs. George A.

Anthony as president of the National American Suf frage association, has positively refused a renomlnatlon for that office at the coming convention will he reclved by the women with general regret. Not only has Mrs. Catt filled a trying and responsible position most admirably, but her charming person ality and womanly dignity have gone fa. toward convincing the doubting ones thst It Is possible for the most refined and womanly women to take an Interest and a part In the world's great problems without detriment to themselves or their families Mrs. Catt's withdrawal will doubtless es tablish a rotation In cfflce In the suffrage association, and while there are many who feel that such a plan will be beneficial, others sre of the opinion that as the work of the association Is unlike that of other women's organisations It Is productive of better results to retain the executive offi cers who are thoroughly In touch with all the mattes, legislative snd otherwise, that such a reform movement has to take Into account. The mid-year business meeting of the Woman's club will be held Monday after noon, when a variety of miscellaneous busi ness will be considered. The first thing to come before the club will be reports of the special club committees, and then the let ters and communications from the General Federation. Though many uf these com munications came some time ago, there has been no time for their presentation until now. Mrs. A. T. Hewitt will speak of the Chicago clubs. It Is also probable that the question of the club's Joining the City Fed eration of Improvement clubs, which came up In the fall and was tabled some time ago upon motion of Its friends, will be brought up at this meeting. Permission has been asked on three different occasions by those Interested In the federation for Judge Slabaugh to address the club re garding Its work, and though permission has been granted each time the privilege has not been embraced as yet.

The subject for the next meeting will be the trouble between Japan and Russia, giving especial attention to Mrs. Belle M. Btoutenborough of Platts mouth has been appointed a member of the committee on rules and regulations for the St. Louis biennial. The appointment comes from the president of the General Federation. The following announcement Is Issued by Mr. Btoutenborough, General Federation secretary for Nebraska: The skeleton of the St. Louis program has at last taken upon itself flesh and be gins to seem very much alive. It Is well proportioned seemingly, and promise to touch the intelligence at this point and at that with a tact that attracts not so much perhaps to the speaker as to his subject. Mrs. Anna D. West, second vice president of the Massachusetts State Federation of Women' Clubs, Is chairman of the biennial program committee. Mrs. West Is a wide awake club woman, and In planning her program has Introduced several Innovations which will be hailed with delight by those who purpose to attend the convention, which promise to be the most brilliant In the history of the Federation. One Innova tion Is this: Only two sessions shall be held daily, morning and evening, with the afternoon left free for sightseeing or for rest. Th conference Idea, another new feature NO MAN OR WOMAN ' CAN HAVE DYSPEPSIA And Still Be Agreeable, Attractive aad Popular A Certain Cnre la Reach of All. There is nothing that will put you to th front so rapidly In the business or social world as a cheerful disposition and a pleas ant appearance. Other things beng equal people will go out of their way to give the fellow a lift who always wear a cheerful countenance. Th man or woman with a cranky disposition and a sour fao will always meet with an Indifferent if not a chilly reception. The commercial traveler, who Is the recognized business barometer, appreciates better than any one the value of this rule and governs his actions ac cordingly. Dyspepsia destroys all the agreeable qual ities that enter into a man or woman's make-up. It la almost a human impossi bility tor anyone with a sever casa of dyspepsia to look pleasant The contin uous, miserable, cast-down feeling Is bound to make itself shown In th appearanc and conversation, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the suf ferer' certain cure. They are so recog nised all over the world. Th cures they have brought about and the happiness they have caused and the suffering they have relieved haa made their name a household word in all the English-speaking world. Th reason that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets are a certain cure la that they are a natural cure. There is nothing to prevent them curing. They contain the essential Ingredients of the digestive fluid of ths stomach and simply do the Identical work of the stomach, relieving that weakened organ and permitting It to rest and re cuperate. Could anything be mors simple or natural? They are bound to cure. They cannot help themselves. It Is Just like put ting a new stomach Into a man If that were possible and letting tbe old on go oft on a vacation. Rest Is what It need. Nature will do her own work of restora tion, never fear. Btuart's Dyspepsia Tablet ar for sale by all druggists at 50 eta. a box. All drug gist mean all druggist. They have be come so necessary to ths peopl that the druggist simply has to keep them anyway. There ar other remedies that he csn make much more money on if he could sell them, but he can't. He will not take chance on losing hi customer by not alway having on hand a supply of Stuart' Dyspepsia Tablet of the biennial, csn but prove helpful, as our club Women who attended the Fremont meeting last Octolier can bear witness "Kach standing committee of the Federa tion has one morning assigned for Its con ference, to which are Invited all club women who are members of the correspond ing committee In their own clulie. As no applications will be received during ths two months preceding the biennial ail clubs desiring to Jctn the General Federa tion of Women's Clubs should send their applications by March 1 to Mr. Belle M. Stoutenborough, l'ls ttpmouth, Federation secretary for Nebraska.

Moat all of the In quiries and purchases of stamps Indicate a costly grade of valentine and as ws weigh out a great many of them they run from four up to a high a twelve cent postage on each and some go higher than that. Of course there la a small call for cheaper postage but th average Is higher than for years. We have sold an enormous quantity Of stamps for exclusively valentine poet age, greater I think, than ever before through this office. "The valentine business has Just begun, and the most of It Is In outgoing valentines.
