Before the open fire doling.
The gathered shadows tokened that
The day wan cloning.
Reflected by the ruddy glow.
Above her where she slumbered gently,
There hung a sprig of mistletoe
Quite innocently.
He gated at her a moment where
She slept, a picture most beguiling.
"it wouldn't le exactly fair,"
lie murmured, milling.
The green leaves hung so close above.
He wondered at hi hesitation.
Tet feared to take advantage of
Ths situation.
But now, ah, cruel hand of Kate
Drusllla's eyea are fast unveiling.
Ah. what had made him hesitate
With courage falling?
He feared lent she hit thought hail read.
And held hi breath. "How irritating!
I placed It there myself," she said.

WOMAN II CLUB AID CHARITY
Of the various departures and lnnova
tlona that have resulted one after another
In the evolution of the woman's club, there
Is no more significant development than
the legislative committee. As a matter of
fact, the General Federation has today no
more active nor conspicuous department of
work than this, one of its newert de
parturcs. To be sure the endeavor to ln
fluence legislation Is nothing particularly
new among the clubs, but never until this
year has the executive committee of the
General Federation urged the organization
of special committees for the systematic
and Intelligent prosecution of reform work
through legislation. Since the beginning
of club federations. Indeed, of the clubs
themselves, one has heard a great deal
about altruism; In fact, that has been the
object of the federation, but Its practice
has iiecenourily been largely Indirect and
It has taken tiie experience of fourteen
years of General Federation, seven biennial
conventions mid scores upon scores of
state und district and city meetings to
tiiich the club women the wtpdom of that
homely old bit of advice to do things "de
cently and In order." The Intricacy of the
law and the ncceasity of Intelligent Investi
gation has taught the women In the course
of their several years of reformatory ef
for the necessity ,f conducting such work
systematically; hence the recommendation
of the appointment of special committees
for this work and the wllllngneas of the
women to support them.
Thl recommendation has met with gen
eral support nnd the women of Nebraska
and Iowa have already commenced profit
ing by it, particularly In the larger cities.
At Lincoln last week the legislative com
mittee of the Lincoln Woman's club met
and formulated pluns for looking after tlie
various meuurcs pertaining to the wel
fare of women and children that are to
como before the state legislature. All such
bills will be investigated and the women
will lend their influence toward the pas
sage of those deemed wise and necessary.
The work of the committee ia to be re-
Mirtcd to the club, which now numbers
about 800 members. Tho Colorado Federa-
lon has taken up the suggestion In lis
unial vigorous fashion and submitted a
list of practical recommendations to its
eglslatlve committee. The Iowa women
have gone to work through this commlt-
eo to secure some sort of legislation in
he Interest of working children, and the
(Torts of the Nebraska women are too well
known to need further telling. Of course
here will be some disappointed women at
he close of the legislative session, but they
will be wise in proportion and experience
has proven that wisdom so gained compen
sates for much.
A recent announcement from Denver
quoting Mrs. Sarah Piatt Decker to the
effect that plans are about complete for the
estaDiisnmrnt of a bureau of Information
for the General Federation of Women's
Clubs comes as welcome news o club
women generally. The possibility of its be
ing located at Ports mouth. W sill it it a
Mrs. Mary I. Wood, one of the eight di
rectors of the General Federation, as its
upeilntendent. Mrs. Wood was orlnlnallv
nnounced as chairman of the press com
mittee and this later announcemet accounts
for the succession of Mrs. May Alden Ward
r Boston to that office.
The department of parliamentary Drac-
tice has changed the date for its open meet
ing program from January 9 to January 23.
exchanging with the midwinter business
meeting. Tho substituted program will ln-
lude the presentation of the new woman's
property rights bill by Hon. D. L. Johnson.
It Is expected that the department will
complete its program at the next regular
department meeting January 16. "Commit
tees" will be the subject of the lesson.
The event of the year in local clubdom
will be the musicals and reception given
Tuesday evening, January 3, at the First
Congregational church. Mrs. Samuel Katz.
leader of the musical department, will be
In charge of the program, which will begin
promptly at 8 o'clock. The music will be
followed bv a recent Inn in Hi ,i,,K t,u
to which elnh m,.mhr n,ith ,v,. ...

Explanation
from Brandeis'
We wish to offer an apology both to our
Omaha patrons and our out-of-town cu&to
mers for anj inconvenience they may have
encountered in our store by reason of the
great crowds of last week. We feel that in
spite of our careful planning and our con
tinued endeavors to make shopping easy
and pleasant, the immense crowds handi
capped us and hundreds of our customers
must have felt the lack of the attention and
comfort they rightfully expect at Braudeis.
In presenting this apology we feel that we
can promise a complete change by next
Christinas. Our new building, the largest
structure in Omaha, giving us 8i acres of new
floor space, will be completed before another
year and the problem of caring for crowds
will be simplified in this immense modern
institution. Holiday shopping in Draudeis'
beautiful new building next year will be
one of the chief delights of Christmastide.
The immense crowds that thronged our
store last week completely cleared away the
greatest stock of toys the west has ever
known. This year as usual, Brandeis has
been the store to clear away every bit of toy
stock. This enables us to start every year
with an absolutely fresh new stock, without
a last season's article to mar the new show
ing. Thanking you for your valued patronage,
we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Very
Happy New Year.
Very respectfully,
J. L. BRAN DEIS & SONS,
1L
A Merry
YffA
