And now tha engagement and wedding an
nouncements are beginning to come, and,
of course, It Is all Very gratifying to know
just who and Just when it la to be. How
ever, there are atlll announcements to
come announcements that society la eag
erly waiting for, and altogether the pros
pect is that June la to be a busy month.
And now It Is easy enough to see, and It
has been alt along, why there has been so
much spring sewing and renovating to do
In certain families that have heretofore
had time not only to accept, but to extend,
hospitality. Of course this Is the season for
' that sore of thing, but as one of the girls
has said, '.'there not so many fluffy
dresses to be made every spring."
Tha week past has brought two more an
nouncements to which attaches mora than
, ordinary Interest owing to the personal
' popularity of the young women concerned
and tha social prominence of their families.
, On Monday a a luncheon given In compli
ment to Mrs. Benjamin F. Bmlth of Boston,
Mrs. James McKenna announced the en-
gagement of Met daughter, Miss Blanche
McKenna, to Mr. William Elmore Martin.
Mr. Martin Is engaged In tha lumber busi
ness In Omaha and Is a well known mem
ber of tha Country club, having been a
member of the golf team last year.

day at the luncheon given by Miss Flor
ence Kllpatrlck that of Miss Rowena Hlg
. glnaon, daughter of Mrs. W, B. Melkel, to
; Dr. Frank Worjhlngton Lynch of Cleve
, land, O. Dr. Lynch, who la a prominent

'. week tha guest of Mr. and Mrs. Melkel.

t beautiful young women In aoclety, has also

thur Cooley, Mr. Lawrence Brinker, Mr.

club has accepted the challenge of the
Lotus Tacht club of 81 Joseph and the
races will be sailed In June. A dinner and
dance for the visiting yachtmen will add to
the Interest of the regatta, and the pros
pect Is that the growing Interest In sailing,
of the last two yeara will be Increased this
a summer to the extent of transfering much
of the out-of-door Interest that haa cen
tered at the Country and Field clubs over
across the river.

ture In her life before undertaking these
pictures well Illustrates the ability of the
artist aa a teacher. Mrs. Mengedoht is al

been painted in her own home this winter.
The background in the foliages are from
the green houses arranged with the light
from her windows. Mlsa Reld Is the artist
