While the prophecy of quietness proved
true last week. It was not dull by any
means,-nnd between the whist clubs and
euchre clubs and kenslngton clubs and
a few other organizations, there was some
thing on every day, though aside from a
lunoheon or so there was little of conse
quence. This week will be a little brighter.
A number of things are planned, compli
mentary to the visiting clergymen and
their wives, who will attend the missionary
conference of the Episcopal church, ant
beside these there will be several car
parties and dances nnd the Bell-Peck wed
ding, though society will have to content
Itself with hearing about this Important
event In the life of one of Its most accom
plished and popular young women, as It
Is not to be a society aff.ilr, and only those
of kin arc to be present.
A young' woman very well known In
society gave a little demonstration of
pluck the other day that, could they have
witnessed It, would have elicited the ap
plause of scores of citizens who have been
Inconvenienced by street cars running by
Mocks without stopping to make up a
little lost time. The cars had been laid
out for twenty minutes and when they
did come, running three minutes apart,
three passed without Rtopplng. Impatient
to keep an enRngemct. the young woman
decided to do something, and when the
fourth car came down the hill, giving no
evidence of stopping, she stepped calmly
to the middle of the track and stood there.
The gong rang furiously, but she stood
her ground firmly until the car had come
to a stop. "What's the matter with you,
anyway?" shouted the molorman, peering
around the edge of the vestibule. "Do you
wart to get run over?"' "Oh, no," she re
plied colmly, ob she stepped on at the
front end, "I only wanted to get onto the
tar."

of The Bee: A paragraph In your society
column of a weeK or m ago on the negli
gence of Omana w.mwn In acknowledging
invitations whs altogether timely, and wii.
be appreciated, I am sure, by many host
ees. t
hlle It Is, of course, unnecessary to
write an acceptance for an affair for which
no dennite prepaiation Is necessary, It
would at leisi be courteous to send regrets
if one does not expect to attend. The fact
is, there are few aiTiilra given nowadays
for which some detinue preparation Is not
made. Heiresnments. no matter how
simple, require preparation, and It would
nn infrequently relieve a hostess of con
siderable unnecessary trouble, as well as
expense. If thofe she has honored with
Invitations would advise her as soon as
possible If they find themselves unable to
acefpt. 1 frrijuently have heard wi men
triH themse ,.s on the plea that "they
did not know until the last minute" that
they could nut go, and so did not wish
to send regrets. That Is rather a seliish
view to take of It, for, admitting that a
hostess would doubtless rather receive a
guest late than not at all, the fact remains
that If several guests acted upon this
theory thev would doubtless occasion that
hostess considerable Inconvenience and em
barasFment, possibly, as well. The woman
who offers this excuse forgets that she Is
not ihe oiy person to be taken Into account,
and 1 quH.on whether the really well
bred woman will be so Inconsiderate. It
is a small matter to write a note of rcftret
and the courteous tning. even though It
may be out of date, it never reflects any
thing but credit upon her or him who
does It.
And then there Is another thing of which
I would speak. While I realise that It Is
a delicate thing to attempt to regulate
matters of dress, especially among women
who are In society, there have been of
fenses in this respect, so glaring and so
unnecessary that thev deserve reproof.
There are at least a dozen women among
the most prominent socially who assume
firlvlleges that would be discountenanced
n others les secure In their aocial posi
tion. These women have often been guilty
of unconventionally that Is nothing short
of rudeness. While every one knows that
their wardrobes Include costumes for al
most anv and every occasion, they not In
frequently drop In at an afternoon recep
tion or a tea In street costume. Their very
prominence makes such an act a dis
courtesy to the hosteFs, and I am sure that
I am only one of a great many women In
society who can find for them an excuse
only in that they lack appreciation. Very
truly yours. A HOSTESS.

The Omaha Field club will commence the
season of 1905 with a handsome. jio.fhV)
club house under construction. It Is cer
tain that tha mw home will bu under
roof by the time the members commence
the summer play and June 1 will see the
structure complete In Ita many convenient
details.
The growth of Omaha's Field club has
been remarkable. Beginning In the sum
mer of l&oo with a half dozen outdoor en
thusiasts, It at once sprang Into a flour
ishing club of some 100 odd members.
Everyone could turn to the game of hla
choice, for golf, tennis, bowling, crlckut
and biiee ball were In vogue and all wera
played. Each succeeding year marked a
gratifying Increase In the Interest of the
members. The membership quickly
doubled, then trebled, and In l&M the limit
of 500 was reached. The present season
opens with a waiting list, all of which can
hardly be accommodated with the year's
percentage of vacancies.
The constant gowth of the club necer
altated yearly building alterations to afford
for the members adequat facilities. But

LAW LIBRARY ASSOCIATION
Members of Bar Association Deride
to Incorporate Necessary
Company.
At a largely attended meeting of the
Omaha Bar association held yesterday
afternoon In the criminal courtroom articles
of Incorporation were presented, discussed
nnd, after amendment In a few particulars,
were adopted. These articles provide for
the establishment pf a law library, to be
located In rooms at Crelghton university.
These rooms will be furnished free by the
university and will be heated and lighted.
They will comprise dictation, reading, toilet
rooms, etc. The university is to take one
quarter of the stock to be Issued that is,
paid up stock; but It will be exempt from
all dues on said stock, In return for the
accommodations to be afforded the library
and Its patrons; and the students and pro
fessors of the university will have free ao
ceBS to and be entitled to use the library.
To date there are over 100 subscribers to
the library proposition and Howard B.
Smith, chairman of the committee having
the matter In charge, spoke very hopefully
of the prospect when he presented the
articles of Incorporation to yesterday's
meeting.
Warren Pwltzler was chosen chairman of
the meeting and Charles A. Battelle secre-
tary. There was a good deal of debate as
to the provisions of the articles of Incor
poratlon as first presented, but everything
was good-natured, nnd at the end of the
meeting all tho lawyers present felt that a
good work had been auspiciously launched.
The capital stock Is to be Iffi.ono and the
first board of dlrertors will be composed of
C. J. Smyth, Howard B. Smith, Warren
Swltzler, Charles B. Keller and H. C.
Brome. These gentlemen will elect from
among their own number a president, vice
president, secretary and treasurer. The an
nual meeting will be held on the second
Saturday of January In each year.
DISCUSS BRANCH LIBRARIES
Representatives of Council, School
Board and library Board Meet
to Talk It Over.
Pursuant to the resolution adopted by
the Public Library board at Its last meet
ing, a conference was held Saturday after
noon at the library building between repre
sentatives of the library board, the Board
of Education and the city council to dis
cuss the question of co-operation with a
view to securing two branch libraries for
Omaha by gift of Andrew Carnegie. For
the city council were present Counellmen
Nicholson and Hoye, for the school board
Members Detweller and McCague and Su
perintendent Davidson, for the library
board President Reed and Directors Rose-
water, Haller and Perlne. The discussion
covered a wide range, the consensus of
opinion being that It would be desirable
to have the branch libraries, provided their
maintenance did not hamper financially
the administration of the central library.
Assurances were given of co-operation
from the school board and council and
It was left for the representatives of the
library to formulate a definite proposition
If it was determined feasible to go on
further.

expansion proved futile, and the need of
a new and commodious home for the club
soon became Imperative. A special meeting
of the club for consideration of building
plans was held Tuesday evening, Janu
ary 10, ltrfi. At this meeting the board of
directors was unanimously directed to ac
complish a bond Issue of $10,000 with which
to at once erect a new home suitable to
the club's present needs.
A retrospect of the club's finances de
velops the encouraging fact that for the
lust three years the club has netted more
than $5,000 ptr year over and above all
running expenses. AH of this surplus with
the exception of a $3.2oo present hank bal
ance has been expended In building en
largements In the endavor to keep up with
the club'a growth. It is with this current
net revenua that the club will yearly re
tire Its bond Issue until fully redeemed.
The nsult will be that Instead of spending
a future yearly saving of $3.0u0 or It.uuo in
patchwork, this amount will be yearly ap
1 ; d to tho cost of a new and adequatu
club ! ouxe by redemption of tha bonds
