There, were a few things that stand out more prominently and they II had to do with brides, either weddings cr.glvcn-in-honor affairs, and chief among th.-se was the buffet luncheon given Wednesday by Mrs. O. W. Wattles In honor of Mrs. I.acey Patterson. This week Is mora promising In liirger things, though the adjournment of several of the card an social clubs will reduce the num ber. Once more the gates of fhe Country club swing wide In welcome and the broad veranda and restful clubhouse are In vitingly open as a rendezvous for fash ionable Omaha. With an enthusiasm that would have done Justice to an Initiation, society yesterday afternoon and evening went through for the fifth time the for mality of celebrating the annual spring opening of the club, and not since last fall, when fresh from their summer's out ings they opened the season for the de butantes, have the fashionables evinced anything like the interest manifested in sesterday evening's dinner and dance. Of course the dinner and dance were the features of the day, though there were the out-of-door features in the afternoon. Society was out almost enmasse. But once before, if ever, has the clubhouse been taxed to provide for the large number who wished to dine there. All the hospitable Inclination that had been pent up during the Lenten season seemed to assert Itself In a common desire to entertain at dinner ind so numerous were the would-be hosts nd hostesses and so liberal their desire to entertain that there were not only not rnough tables to accommodate them, but an It developed, not enough guests to 'go iround. Early In the week reservations for parties of from four to eight began to be made, while some ran much higher mnd a score or more averaged three or four and a few days later, when the am bitious ones came to Invite their guests not a few were surprised and embarassed to learn that the choice had been pretty iwell picked over and before Saturday noon there was a scramble to fill vacancies. All the unpleasantness was forgotten In hav ing "everybody" there, and, of course. It Is understood that no one Is to discuss the number of invitations they had or by whom they were extended. ' The following is the dinner list: Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Reed entertained Mr, ,nd Mrs. A. G. Beeson, Mr. and Mrs. C. W, Hull, Mr. and Mrs. James Green of Lin coln; Mr. and Mrs. Arthur.

Disappointed In the completion of their home the fam ily finally moved In confining themselves to the upper floors. Recently the lower floor has been made ready for occupancy and the other evening the family gath ered there for the first time. Later in the evening, however, when the doctor re turned home he was surprised to find the ower floor In darkness and the upper rooms lighted bright as usual, inquiring the reason of his wife she replied that she had lived upstairs so long that she did not feel at home any place else In the house.

The following lett T has heen Issued to the presidents of Stale Federations by Mr. Sarah Piatt Decker: To every presld;it of the General Fed eration must come the thought that a closer relation between the State and the U.vieral Federatl in Is absolutely necessary If the work of ea"h Is to Increase In efficiency. How to bring about this amal gimatmn Is - nu stln over whl -li many have pondered long. I do not for an In stant belloe that I have In any way sulwd the Intricate problem, but I deslr your opinion upon a ph.n which may help you In a measure, and which I set forth for your consideration. . The General Federation has the follow ing standing committees: Art, child la hot, civics, civil service reform, education, for estry, household economics. Industrial, leg islative, library extension, literature, pure food, reciprocity. The 'forestry "nd legis lative committees consist of members from ea-h State sml are. therefore. In a meas ure working under the proposed plan. The Industrial and child labor committees could be combined for state work, also household economics and pure toe d. This would leave nine standing committees: Art, civics, civil s.-rvlce rtforn, education, Weddings and Fngasemenls. Married. Thursday evening at the home of Rev. Robert Bell, ISIS Blnney street, Mr. William Cash and Miss Ellen O. Askwith both of this city.

Every common wealth would Improve phvalcallv, Intel lectually morally and snliltualy If Its In- elligent, capable wotr.en were working long tnese lines. The suggestion I make, therefore. !s hat the-state fe.l ratlon shall harmonize heir committees with those of the Gen eral Federation, adding, of course, such oral committees as mav be necessarv for certain conditions: but the general plan o follow the mother organization. I would go even further. I would ask that the Slate Federation sugRtst that each club formulate its year's programs as fast as possible upon these topics, thus gradually conforming, to a certain extent, Into a harmonious whole, like city, state snd nation. There would then he concerted etion. there would bo education In many communities nt the same time upon like ubjects always a great Influence. The Ivll service reform committee has had Sroof of the great effect produced by the anuary meetings upon that work. Clubs, speakers, newspapers, even preachers have written and spoken, and siany thousands have been brought to study the Important question. If this plan could be carried out each individual club would have the help of the state committee and the Gen eral Federation committee upon the re petitive subjects; helpful and harmonious p!nns would be evolved and I believe a great push be given to the worn ana tne workers. Will you not give this yoor care ful thought? It would take time and de- ail to accomplish the co-ordination, but perhaps results would repay the efforts. A special meeting of the social' science department of the AVman's club has been called for Monday afternoon Immediately after the close of the general club meet ing. It will be brief, but important.

Backed up by over a third of cen tury of remarkable and uniform cures, a record such as no other remedy for the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women ever attained, tbe proprietors of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in legal money of the United States, for any case of Leucorrhea, Female Weak ness, Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb which they cannot care.

There has been practically Vo political talk In the club this year, so far as the general elub Is concerned, but this very fact has led many to believe that there will be soiffe surprises sprung at Monday after noons meeting. There are, of course other names than that of the presen Incumbent being spoken of for the presl dency, but that is customary. Perhaps the most popular woman named Is Mrs. J. II. Dumont, but she declines the nomination, she did last spring and has done before.

Btnaws The approaching council of tha General Federation of Women's Clubs to be held st Atlantic City Is beginning to be the sub ject of discussion among club women and club editors. Being an Innovation, the full Importance of the council has not been gen erally recognised and It is only within the fortnight that western club women, at least, have evinced anything like an active Interest In the meeting. Naturally the eastern clubs will send larger delegations. The Massachusetts women are planning an excursion that will Include several stops after the council is over. The delegation 111 go by special train. It Is doubtful If any of the other federations will send larger delegations, though New Tork and Pennsylvania promise a goodly representa tion. There la some talk of appointing Chicago a meeting place for delegates from the west and arrange for a special from there to Atlantic City if there are enough to Justify it. Announced originally as a council of club presidents and officers, club members gen erally have not understood the real Im portance of the meeting. Mrs. Decker and the executive committee are urging the women to attend that they, too, may fa miliarise themselves with the matters to come before the council. For several years those at the head of the Federation's work have realised the handicap of a bl ennlal convention. The Increasing scope of its work seems to demand more frequent conferences between the state and Tiatlonal workers, ana inia year tne council was decided upon. -Many women prominent In the national organisation are said to favor an annual convention, but the more con servatlve onea seem to feel that, with the council well established and vested with certain power, to alternate with the bi ennial.
