A lot of little thlr.es, dinners, meetings,
the theater and n recital or so. were dove
tailed In between the lnrger affairs of last
week so closely as to keep the fashionable
folk and a good many others who lay no
claim to that distinction about as busy
oa they have been at any time during this
very busy season. The reception at Brown
ell Hall Thursday evening and the affairs
at Gardner Memorial house complimentary
to the visiting clergymen and women were
the largest of the week's Important affairs,
which, by the way, could be counted on
the fingers of one hand all excepting one
occasion, the Melba concert Frldny even
ing. That was the really big thing of the
week, and aoclety was out almost enmasse.
And speaking of that audience recalls
one feature of It that must have surprised
the strangers present or thoae unfamiliar
with the eccentricities of Omaha audiences
In matters of dress that was the scarcity
of dress suits. About one man In forty
wore a dress suit, notwithstanding the fact
that It waa a society house and the oc
casion one of the exceptional ones of the
season. While It Is by no means an offense
for men whose position In society does
not warrant their owning dress suits to
attend evening affairs In other clothes. It
Is customary In other places at least for
society men to observe that conventionality,
and one cannot help wondering Just how
much It would take In Omaha to call them
all out properly dressed.
The reappearance of the tea on last
week's social calendar tor the first time
since before the holidays and Its recurrence
on this week's calendar Indicates that the
ban has been raised from this particular
variety of afternoon reception or that so
ciety holds two-sets of leaders with follow
ing, sufficiently strong to enable them to
Ignore each others' dictates If they choose.
After the crush of teas and receptions
that, characterized the early part of the
season, the sudden suspension of these af
fairs gave rise to the statement that "so
ciety had been teacd to death." That may
Mother Rests

And a Single Application of

This treatment means instant

when all else fails.
have been true enough or It may not; at
any rate. It had nothing to do with the
sudden disappearance of the tea. The fact
Is that a certain society woman announced
one day that she was not going to attend
any more teas unless she was Invited to
assist. Her resolution flew from one to
another, who In turn adopted it, until be
fore long the woman who would give a tea
found herself In an attitude not unlike
that of one dealing with a union. The
assisting list swelled almost to the propor
tions of the guest Hat, until finally, being
unable to acrept all of their demands and
equally unable to dispense with all of
them, the hostesses who had planned teas
changed their rilnda and gave something
else Instead it almply was not safe to risk
It unless a hostess had some especial at
traction to offer In the way of a bride or
an unusually desirable guest to Introduce.
One of the debutantes has scored an ac
complishment that ought to go a long way
toward offsetting the charges of discourtesy
and the like that have been made against
aoclety of late. Noth withstanding the fact
that this young woman was Introduced less
than three months ago. and that her com
ing out reception was one of the largest of
the season, and In spite of the demands In
cidental to a girl's first season and an ex
ceptionally busy reason at that, she has
found time to call upon practically every
woman who was her mother's guest on the
day that she was Introduced. An accom
plishment unprecedented within the recol
lection of any of the fashionables. It is
raid. And society Is charmed with the cour
tesy of this young woman for she not only
made the round but took with her a guest,
a young woman who had been visiting her
alnce her debut.
The presence of the bishops, the clergy
and the missionary conference in town last
week while it occasioned no end of little
dinners and the larger affairs Incidental to
such meetings, seriously Interfered with the
plans of a number of hostesses who had
arranged to entertain independent of the
distinguished churchmen. The luncheon or
the tea at the parish house, the reception
Thursday evening or the entertaining of the
visitors, proved fatal to two or three af
fairs Inst week, for regrets came In at the
last moment at a rate that indicated that
every other person in society was afUlla.ed
with the Episcopal church.

A wedding to which attaches more thn
passing Interest owing to the social prom
inence of the parties, Miss Helen Peck,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Porter
Peck, and Rev. Robert Bell, rector of the
Good Shepherd church, was solemnized at
high noon yesterday at Trinity cathedral,
Bishop Williams and Rev. George A.
Beecher officiating. Notwithstanding the
fact that the bride is one of the beBt known
and most popular young women In so
ciety, it was not a society wedding. No
cards had been Issued, and the guests, who
numbered about 200. were relatives, the
nearer friends and aome of the parishoners
of the Good Shepherd. To the Mendels
sohn wedding march the bridal party came
to the chancel, the ushers, Mr. Lyman Peck
and Mr. Hamilton in advance. Miss Louise
Peck, sister of the bride and her only at
tendant, walked next. She wore a girlish
white, lace-trlmmcd frock and a large
pink picture hat. with broad ribbons, ad
der her chin and tied in a soft bow at the
left side. A looae bunch of Golden Gate
roses tied with a bow of soft pink tulla
completed her coBtume. The bride came
last, walking with her father. The wed
ding gown was a creation of white, lace
trimmed panne cloth, over which hung tha
wedding veil caught to place with orange
blossoms. She carried a prayer book.
At the chancel steps they were met by
the groom with his best man, Rev. Francis
White, and here Rev. Beecher read the
betrrthal, after which they advanced Into
the chancel, where Bishop Williams fin
ished the Impressive ceremony. During the
service an organ program was played. The
chancel was simply, though effectively.
trimmed with southern amilax and holly.
Following the ceremony a wedding break
fast was served the members of the bridal
party and relatives at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Peck at Eighteenth and Daven
port streets. It was an elaborate affair.
Late In the afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Bell
left for a week's bridal trip and will be at
home upon their return at Eighteenth and

this was In prospect when I first took hold
here in Omaha."

There will be a meeting of the executive
board of the Iowa Federation of Women's
Clubs March 1, at which time final ar
rangements will be cfempleted for the state
biennial meeting, to be held at Waterloo in
May. The convention announcement will
be 'ssued after the board meeting. The
year book of the federation for 19)4-6, a sub
stantial booklet of 125 pages, reports the
Iowa federation the largest in the general
organization In point of number of clubs.
It Includes 309 clubs and an approximate
membership of 12.0U0 women, living In 173
towns. Cpon request of the Iowa State
Historical aoclety a complete file of fed
eration publications has been collected and
placed In the society library at Iowa City.
Seven of the eleven districts of the state
held meetings last year and all reported
altruistic work among their clubs. Mrs.
T. J. Fletcher of Marshalltown, the state
president, urges the club women to work
for the enactment of a law that shall
make child labor Impossible In Iowa and
urges that this be accomplished while the
state Is yet comparatively free from this
evil, that there may be less resistance to
overcome. She also urges the club women
to do their share In co-operating with the
dltsrlct Judges In the work of the Juvenile
court and probation system recently es
tablished in the state.
Owing to the illness of Mrs. L. A. Moore,
president of the Plattsmouth Woman's
club, the annual meeting of the clubs of
the First district will be postponed until
the latter part of March or April. Platts
mouth will be unable to entertain the meet
ing this year, and It will be decided soon
where it Is to be held. The First district
is one of the most active of the State
federation thla year, and nearly all of its
clubs have done or are planning to do
something worth while. Mrs. William M.
Wilson of Falls City Is vice president of
the district. The women of Crab Orchard
are considering organizing a club. The
clubs of Pawnee City have united in giv
ing bazars and teas, the proceeds of
which go to the town library fund. Ster
ling Is also doing library work, and when
Mrs. Wilson visited them In December a
reception and muslcale was given In her
honor. Humboldt is especially active, li
brary work being among their chief efforts.
January 6 the club held its annual banquet
and Mrs. Wilson was invited to be one of
the guests of honor. They also gave an
entertainment-a series of living pictures,
"Dreams of Fair Women." It is expected
that a musical club will be organized
there very soon. "Friends In Council" of
Falls City are Interested In civic Improve
ment, and during the holldaya gave an
elaborate reception. Sorosis gave an art
exhibit at the library for the school chil
dren and expects to repeat it soon. At a
meeting of Sorosis, held January 11, Mrs.
Decker s request concerning civil service
reform was compiled with and a part of
the program was given over to a program
on this reform work.
"The Big Fifth," as that district is called,
is holding its own and one new club has
been organized since the state meeting. The
district is so laige and the club so scat
tered that it Is difficult to hold a district
meeting, though an effort will be made to
get the women together some time In April!
Mrs. J. D. Falkner is vice president of the
district and under her efficient direction the
Fifth district la-ought more new clubs to
tho federation than any other district last
year, seven of the thirteen new clubs being
from the Fifth.
President Roosevelt has accepted the In
vitation of the National Congress of Moth
erg and will address that body at its annual
meeting to be held in Washington March
10 to 17. March 13 has been announced as
the date of his address, but Mr. Rooaevelt
has as yet fulled to announce his subject.
The Intended dates of the convention were
changed to suit the convenience of the
president and it Is said that this will be
the first time that the chief executive pas
ever addressed an audience made up ex
clusively of women. Another feature of the
congress will be its observance for the first
time of an international day. On this occa
sion the ambassadors of the various foreign
nations will speak of the conditions of
childhood In their respective countries An
other program will be given over to the
consideration of moral and religious train
ing in the home and a number of prominent
clergymen and leaders will speak.
Miss Verna Newel waa awarded the gold
medal at the Demorest contest held Thurs
day evening at the Second Presbyterian
church under the auspices of the Wom
en's Christian Temperance union and the
Voung People's society of the church. Mr
J. K. Koopman, Miss Mary Rood and Pr
Leldlngham acted as Judges, and Mrs
George Tilden presented the medal.
The local Weman's Relief corps Is urg
ing the candidacy of Mrs. R. 8. Wilcox of
Omaha, for the presidency of the Ne
braska Women's Relief corps. The state
convention will be held the latter part
of May at Grand Island and as the Omaha
organization is one of the strongest of
the state it is expected that their candi
date will be well supported.

union will h,old Its regular educational
meeting Wednesday afternoon at 2:30

Following is a comparative statement of
tha present and proposed laws concerning
the descent of property. The present law
provides regarding real estate:
If a married woman die, leaving a hus
band and children surviving, the husband
takes the use for life of one-third part
of real estate, not necessary to pay debts,
of which the wife whs selied at death.
If a married man die, leaving a wife and
children surviving, the wife l;ikes the usa
for life of one-third part of all real estuio
of which the husliand was seized at any
time during the marriage, except that of
