With the exception of Scarcely a doien
affairs laet week was dry enough, but If
society Improves all of Ita opportunities
this week It will hava to work overtime
that Is for a few days. The pity Is that
things could not have been a little better
distributed. Flrat of all there Is the tennis
tournament, which ojiens tomorrow at the
Field club, lasting all week and concluding
with the championship match Saturday. Aa
the tournament Is conducted under the aus
pices of the National Lawn Tennla associa
tion It brings to the city some of the beat
known players In the United State, and
enthusiasts from far and wide, al! of which
If past tournaments can be accepted ns
criterion means that society will turn out
In its most Glbsoncaqua clothes and man
ners, and he who would know the newest
that the season affords at the seashore, the
lakes or any other summer resort, needs
but to sit for a few hcurs on the big va
ra n da of the clubhouse and he will see or
hear It.
1
And then there Is the automobile meet
Tuesday and Wednesday. This, of course,
will be the feature of the week. The fact
that the automobile meet has come to
rlvat the horse ahow In the favor of the
eastern fashionables Is sufficient to com
mend It fo the attention of other smart
people. Independent of the fact that It la
a delightful sport and that many Omaha
people have found this out for themselves.
There will be coaching and automobile
parties' galore. Practically everybody in
town who owns a machine will go out and
a number of the larger machines owned by
local dealers will be used for parties, be
sides the throng ot fashionables and other
who will All the grandstand, and nothing
but fine or even reasonably good weather
-Will be needed to bring society out in Ita
rmarteat carnival attire. That there will
be dinner parties, after the races goes with
out saying.
. The opening of Boyd's theater will mean
another night or two besides the regular
program at the Field and Coyjitry club
Wednesday and Saturday. "
Unless All indications fall, Omaha Is to
have a taoree show fthla fall that will be
benefiting and a credit to the place that It
holds among the other cities of the circuit
-end that is saying a great deal. Septem
ber 2S to 30, Inclusive, sre the dates and
plans are already well underway that will
make that a gala week second to none on
the local calendar. The Auditorium is
being gotten In readiness for the occasion,
while society Is planning to do its part,
which, by tho way, Is most Important.
Whilo the plans are not yet complete, it
Is expected that there will be about one
hundred boxes that will accommodate
pfrtles of from four to eight persona.
These are to be sold for the week and the
same reservation will be made for seats.
A number of the boxes have already been
spoken for and preparation Is being made
by many of the fashionables for extensive
entertainment during the week. -
"A dinner at home; to the horse show
about 9 and a cold bottle and a hot bird
when we are ready for It," replied one
young matron from the smart sot. when
wked what she proposed ttj-flo for her
guests, and about the same program may
be counted on for the others. As every
body knows, particularly those whom good
fortune It has been to attend one of these
meets, the equine attraction is really the
secondary feature; It Is the dlnplay of
society with Its accessories of millinery and
costume that really constitutes the show.
But admitting that It is a bit misnamed.
It is still undeniably the all around
smartest Institution at the command of
tho really smart Just now whereby they
may exploit the privileges of a priv
ileged class and It la worth all of the fuss
that has been made about it. There are
cccaatons, and Omaha has had her share
of them, too, when all of the city's wealth
and fashion has been called out on parade,
so to speak, but these have In the main,
it must be confessed, been great public
functions where public spirit has been quite
as responsible as any selfish desire for en
joyment, for the participation of those
without whose presence such functions
.would have failed to serve their real pur
pose. Although they have often been severely
criticised for it the fact la that there are
some very exclusive ones among those who
count In local society, and It is here that
Nervous?

splcuotsj part of It st thnt?
And knowing th's, the hostesses are pre
paring to do their part. Some truly ex
quisite wardrohes have been made for In
itiation that week, and society leaders are
frank In admitting that they have never
before had such gowns ns those they have
secured for thnt occasion. Among these
are some erquMte Importation, few of
which are to be worn more than a time or
two at most during the week. One woman
admits that she hss five of the stunningest
gowns she hns ever owned, none of which
nre to be worn until the horse show, while
still another young woman who la among
ihe best dressed In society hns a costume
thst surpasses anything alio has yet worn.
"It Is not to be a shirtwaist and sailor hftt
affair by any means," said one woman,
while another added: "If anyone so far
forgets themselves as to appear as they
have on a few occasions In the past, at the
Ak-Sar-Ben ball, fdr Instance, In costumes
wholly unsuitable end out of place on dress
occasions, they may count upon being msde
to feel uncomfortable."
A recent hard storm was responsible for
a revelation 'to some young women that
will make them, . they say, very careful
in future not to expect too much of a
certain set of young men who have served
them ns escorts. One night last week a
surprise party at one of the large homes
out In Kountze Place wna converted into
an involuntary house party for the night
by the drenching rain thnt fell until after
the Inst car had gone back to the barns.
As her home was spacious the hostess In
sisted upon stowing the young people away
for the right, but after the lights wore out
and the house quirt It occurred to one
young womnn thnt It would be necessary
for the girls to make further demand upon
that lady for the carfare necessary l"
return them to their homes In the morn
ing, as the men had insisted that their own
early departure si ould not interfere with
those hourt dedicated to beriu'.y sleep. Not
wishing to Impose upon her hostess, the
young woman flnnlly s ippod out of bed
and after a whispered consultation with tho
Other girls sonic little notes were written
and slipped under the doors of the young
men's rooms they were requests that car
fare be left for them. Next morning an
answering slip was found .under the cirH'
doors and with each note was the desired
clirfare and with it ah additional nickel
"for a lark," the notes explained.

provided for colonics that has gone out
from Omaha this summer In search of
fest and recreitlon is located at King's
lake, hear Fremont, and is known to
aeouj of less fortunate friends as Camp
Magic. The camp la an annual diversion
with Mr. and Mrs. Ous Epeneter, and Is
Usually of about three weeks' stand. The
party this summer Included: Mr. and
Mrs. Epeneter., Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Per

J. P. FaKon, Mr. Ous Sauer oi Council
Bluffs, Miss Henrietta Sauer, Mr. Homer
Conant, Miss Esther Conant and Master
Glen Clarke, with visitors , over-Sunday.
Some little gossip has leaked out through
those who find K necessary to return to
town during the week, Cnd according to
this everybody In camp is an officer ex
cepting Mr. Henry Perkins, who has been
elected water bearer. Mr. Epeneter and
Mr. Clarke are known as the "Gfold Dust
Twins," while Mr. Clarke 'has earned the
title of "Gentleman Joe." Mrs. Clarke has
been assigned to ml'.k the goat. Mrs.
Clarke thinks she is the only one who can
make good coffee and Mrs. Epeneter's corn
cakes are out of sight (soon). .The camp
equipment is perhaps the most complete
owned in Omaha, every convenience possi
ble being provided, even a folding bath
tub. The weight and bulk has been re
duced to a minimum, and yet it Includes
a large mirror for the ladlea, a chiffonier,
folding beds with mattresses, a kitchen
stove, pumps, etc., all of which can be
loaded into a two-horse wagon, which car
ries the campers besides. The four seats
of the wagon will each comfortably accom
modate three persons. ..The . seats . and
backs are upholstered with spring cushions
and can be adjusted to recline at any
angle or be opened out for beds If neces
sary. There is also an ample supply of
mosquito netting.'

WHH IX CLU3 AK3 CHARITY
Though summer Is not et oer and U
will be a month at letist before the club
work of the state la resumed to any ex
tent, the federation of clubs of Feward Is
busy preparing for the entertainment of
the tenth annual convention of the Ne
braska Federation of Woman's Clubs,
which Is to meet there October 11-1J, Inclu
sive. The Iocs! committee coivlsls of Mrs.
C. S. Langworthy, chairman; Mrs. Glen
T. Bobson, chairman entertainment com
mittee; Mrs. J. M. Strayer, chulrman
finance commltteo; Mrs. R. P. Anderson,
railroads; Miss Nellie Davis, place and
decoration; Mire Grace Stewart, uhers anl
pages; Mrs. M. A. ,V. Dsvis, reception;
Mrs. E. . E. Betzer, pre. Mrs. Lang
worthy Is one of the be-t known duo
women of the state, having tern isl.enc
of the Nebraska Federation and served rs
chairman of several of Its standlns com
mittees at different times. The convention
is to bo held In the Methodist 't:iu:ch,
which Is commodious end c'p.cl'y w 1:
sapted for convention purports, lie I s
the main auditorium there tire f:ur fmlle
lecture rooms and another lecllon, whl h
will be utilized for the art exhibit. Ar
rangements have been made with the man
agement of the hotels and restaurnn's X'
provide . meals ot a nomlml cost. Tre
visiting club women will be eniertalred for
lodging and breakfast In the h mes cf the
town during their stay. A number of so
cial affairs havo been arrange! for the
week, but with careful regard for th6 ses
sions, so that there will be no conflict.
The program Is rtill too Incomplete to be
announced.
It is a matter of regret at least to Sev
eral hundred women of Nebraska that the
annual meetings of the two largest women's
organizations of the state will rorfVct thli
fall. The Nebraska Federation of Women's
Clubs will hold Its convention at Seward
October H to 13 Inclusive, while the mate
Women's Christian Temperance union will
meet at Lincoln October 10 to 15. Consid
ering that many of the women hold mem
bership In both organisations and are In
terested workers In both, it Is most unfor
tunate, not alone for the object of their
respective efforts, but for the Influence that
they would wield, as women, that such a
thing should occur. The constitution of
the Nebraska Federation provides that It
shall hold fts annual meeting the second
week In October, but under Its constitution
the Women's Christian Temperance union
may hold Its annual convention at any
time during September or October, that
the executive committee shall decide upon.
Considering that the federation and the
union have at least ono effort in common
this year, the securing of a more equitable
property rights law for women an effort
that means much to thousands of women
of the state and that, aside from the tem
perance work, both organizations are work
ing for practically the same result, the up
lift of the homes and their respective com
munities, can either afford to deny any of
Its members the Benefits of the other's an
nual convention? "Touching Life With
I'pwsrd Impulse," says the club, "For God
and Home and Native Land," repeats the
union, and yet, through some overa'ght It
Is to be hoped the very sources from which
each must gain Its chief inspiration are so
placed that their scope for good la re
stricted to but half of what they might
accomplish.
The following letter, which Is self ex
planatory, Is an admirable example of the
practical methods which usually character
ize the work of the new president of the
General Federation of Woman's : Club.
Mrs. Sarah 8. Piatt Decker. It Is one " of
Mra. Decker's theories that so long as a
woman's meeting' la" dignified .. It has no
reason to be afraid of the press:
DENVER. Aug. 1, WH:. My Dear Editor
My object In sending you" this letter Is,
first of all. to express my Interest In your
editorial work, as it pertains to club and
federation affairs, and the hope of the
pleasure of a personal acquaintance dur
ing my term of office.
For a long time I hsve felt that the
work of the General Federation of Wo
man's Clubs has not been recognized na
tionally In the proper ma.nner. The press
is filled with local accounts of local meet
ings, which do not Interest the general
public. I believe there Is an opportunity
to remedy thffc state of affairs If we will
combine our forces. For this reason, and
with the approval of the t-oird of directors,
I decided to rail a conference of the ed
itors of club Journals to-jneet on tbe morn
ing of Sentember 16 at St. Loul. The
board of directors will hold sescion with
you. and the hone is that a plan may be
developed by which we may properlv dis
seminate Information connected with the
great Interests of the federation In a
worthy and dignified manner.
The meeting will be held at the Park
land Place apartments, St. LouK Septem
ber 16 at 10 o'clock n. m. It will rive me
much pleasure to welcome you at this con
ference. Very slncerelv vour.

The women of Omaha who are faint
hiearted regarding the proposed effort to
elect a woman to the Board of Education
his fall may find encouragement and not
a few valuable hints In the r4cent achieve
ment of the Council of Women of Sacra
mento, CaL The proposition to bond the
city of Sacramento for $200,000 for the e:c
tlon of a new high school building carried
at a special election last month by 221 more
votes than the necessary two-thirds. The
same proposition was defeated two years
ago, and there was little hope thnt it could
carry this .year, until the women' decided
to take a hand. The first act of the council
as to go before the Board of Health and
have the old building declared unsanitary.
It next enlisted the support of every .fra
ternal organization of the city and caused
Its claims for the project to be set forth
In every street car of the city, posted on
trees and even the theater curtains were
employed. It next arranged with the
Southern Pacific railroad to allow Its thou
sands of employes time to vote, and when
election day came they came out with their
private equipages to carry the voters to
and from the polls, with the result that
the desired measure carried.
And, by the way, the (rfnaha women are
more than ever Interested In securing a
woman member of the Board of Education.
It has been proposed by one Influential
woman that an organization of teachers
and club women be 'effected as soon at
the schools open to work to this end. . It
Is pointed out that now is the time for
the formatloil of a stronr club, particularly
of teachers, that may secure and maintain
an Influence that will prevent a repetition
of the recent attempt of the board to dis
lodge several principals and teachers or
the hardships that have been Imposed upon
teachers In the past by unscrupulous poli
ticians. In such a club the mothers and
club women would be of material assist '
ance.
The regular meeting of the local Wo
men's Christian Temperance union will be
held at 2:80 o'clock Wednesday afternoon
In the parlors of the Young Woman's
Christian association.

AT THE GIANT'S "CAUSEWAY
Manifold Attractions of Portrnsh and
tbe gorronndlnai Tonntry In
Ireland.
rORTRl'SH, Ireland. Aug. S.-To the
Editor of The Pee: The beautiful Irish
coast Is, I think, especially beautiful here
at Portrush, which Is one of the principal
watering places, and which has the finest
golf links In Ireland. I have been Initiated
Into the mysteries of the game and I like
It mlehty weel. We have Just come from
that wonderful nnture work the Giant's
Causeway, and the pictures thereof are so
familiar that I will not attempt to de-
' scribe such a remarkable scene, for It abso
lutely defies description, with Its pillars
and r-cits and amphitheater. Its "organ
pipes," Its perfectly shaped block and
slabs of stone, Its caves and its clear, many
tinted water. Hut It may be of Interest
to some Omaha people who visited the
place In years gone by o know that now
It Is in the hands of a syndicate; an ad
mission fee Is charged. Two very good
hotels are at the gates, the dangerous
and ofttlmcs Inaccessible paths have been
rendered safe at all times by Iron fences
and railings, and the place ,1s well at
tended to; the car service to and from
Portrush Is very satisfactory and as It
runs along the coast the tourist Is given
a splendid view of the historic old Dunluce
castle, which stands guard o'er the mighty
deep, and to which, it is said, some of
the Spanish ships were sailing when they
were .wrecked on the Glant'g Causeway,
the "chimney pot" recks being mistaken
for the chimneys of Dunluce castle. We
saw also the wonderful rock formation
called the Giant's Head, which at the
proper distance looks like a perfectly chls
seled head of ultra-heroic size. The White
Rocks nnd the two-mile "strand" of sandy
beach was well worth seeing. And then
to think of, the hundreds of Americans
who have never seen this part of God'a
beautiful Jewel-land, the Emerald Isle.
But things are changing now and the In
troduction of English capital, through the
medium of the Midland Railway of Eng
land, which now' owns the Northern Coun
ties Railway of Ireland, wU do wonders In
developing interest In the beaut-slde of
this country. At a meeting of the share
holders and directors last week, a propo
sition was favorably discussed, planning
for great railway extensions through the
"northern highlands" an other parts.
This will, of course, mean a corresponding
effort and enterprise on the part of other
rallrads. I copied the following clipping
from the editorial page of the Belfast
News-Letter, one of the oldest and most
conservative dallies lir Ireland:
IRELAND THROUGH LONDON GLASSES
The London Globe has a very kind ref
erence to Ireland, and in the course of
the remarks it says: "There is no question
that Ireland is one of the very finest holi
day countries, and it is beginning to be
appreciated as such by visitors both east
and west. American gofWs regard Ireland
as the golfers' paradise, and in a prlvalo
way quite a number of International
matches have been fixed on Donegal links,
as a half-way house. The parallel with
Canada suggests that one of the chief
reasons , why this general desire to speird
a holiday in Ireland frequently does not
get beyond the stake of a pious wish is
the Insufficiency of railway arrangements.
The progress of Canadian prosperity may
be more or less accurately gauged solely
by the Increase in the mileage of the
trains. Happily the railway companies, es
pecially the Great Northern of .Ireland,
have begun to see the value both of im
proving services and building hotels; and
all- that is. wanted to make lieland as
favorite a touring ground as Switzerland is
a wider advertisement of how considerable
has been the change from older days.
At tho Causeway hotel I found registered
Mrs. O. M. Carter, Miss Leila Carter, Miss
Mable Carter, Denver, Colo. Are not these
names familiar to Omaha people? I also
found Dr. Snyder and some one else,
whose name I now forget from Council
Bluffs, and Mr. A. G. ' Peterson. Mrs. C.
M. Peterson, Mr. Harry A. and Miss Nellie
K. Peterson of Aurora, Neb. We missed
all of these people by about a week, but
It made ua think, of the friends at home.
It was like a message from old Nebraska.
