FRIDAY Mrs. Merrlam's luncheon for sati:rday-The Crec'ne tea from 3 to 8 o'clock. All considered, . the prospects for this wMtlr ara nothing extra. The most Im- DOrtant affairs scheduled are for charity. the Vlaltlna- Nurses' association, the Creche ' and the Child Saving Institute, to be the beneflclsrles. Of course, almost anything In the Interest of these three popular philanthropic organisations assures fashionable attention for. with all Its finery and frivolity, society has a tender place In Its heart for the unfortunate, and does Its share ' financially and otherwise. The Creche has long been a pet of some of -the-wealthiest women In society, and the charming teas given at the insfliu tlon have ever been occasions for fash- ' lonable attendance and - attention. 'And speaking of society In charity a dozen or more young 'women who are looked upon as social butterflies are doing a very sub stantlal work among the urchins at the City Mission. Within the week they have given the boys a May party that was a truly enjoyable affair, and they entered Into the spirit of It with an enthusiasm that is not always evident at the many fashionable gatherings In which they have conspicuous part. , The attendance at the Country club yes terday afternoon and ' evening was scant, indeed, compared with the crowd of a week ago;, but, of . course, they can't have an opening every week, even ' at the Country club. Perhaps they were afraid of getting wet, or perhaps it was a bit, cool, but for some reason there was not very much en thusiasm 'this week and up until noon less than half dozen had engaged places for dinner parties. Mr. Nat Goodwin at Boyd's was perhaps the chief counter attraction. Society ' seems to have contracted the theater habit to a very gratifying degree this winter and as the season Is neartng Its close they are Improving their oppor tunity ' while It lasts. And, besides, the Country club will last all summer. Those who ' entertained at dinner last evening 'Were: Mr. E. A. Cope, a party of eight; Mr. Randall Brown, a party of. eight; Mr. O..Lk Hammer, a party of five. nor Markay, Helen Epeneter, Helen Hunt ington, Eva Johnson.

Interest In the biennial of the Iowa Fed eration Increases as the time draws nearer, and Mrs. Fletcher's announcement that she cannot accept the presidency for another term Introduces a political feature that Is ' necessarily Important. Mrs. Fletcher has proven an officer of more than ordi nary ability, and has given to the work unsparingly of her time, her energy and her enthualasm, all of which makes the choice of her successor the more difficult. There are many women In the federation capable of serving It as president, but few who can give the time and meet U of the other demands Incidental to the office. Mra. Fletcher's decision Is a matter of regret among club women of the state, and until It was announced very recently, there has been no serious talk of opposition to her re-election. ' It. is understood that Mrs. J. W. Cory, the present vice president, will be unable to serve on the board another term because of family cares. Mrs.' Hor ace Deemer of Red Oak Is perhaps the most generally popular of the several women named aa possible successors to Mrs. Fletcher and furthermore, she has repeatedly demonstrated her ability. There seems to be a feeling that the presidency belongs to the western part of the state this time, but the federation has gotten beyond the point where matters of senti ment are weighed against ability. Mrs. Matt Parrott of Waterloo. Mrs. Harry Treadway of Dubuque, Mrs. J. J. Beerley of Burlington and Miss Harriet Lake of Independence, the present corresponding secretary, are among the others named for the first office. A few changes have been made In the program, and a few additions. Mrs. Buchwalter, president of the Ohio Federation, and a member of the board of directors of the General Federation for several years, and Mrs. F. 8. Allen, presi dent of the Minnesota Federation, have recently accepted Invitations to attend the meeting." Mrs. Bacon, late president of the Illinois Federation, will probably be In attendance, while Mrs. Decker, presi dent, and Mrs. John D. Sherman of Chi cago, recording secretary of the General Federation, will attend the entire session. Some , of the clubs of Nebraska have found a very effectual way of protecting themselves against disappointment by mem bers falling to take the part assigned to them on the year's program. The an nouncement is made at the beginning of the year so that every woman may have time to prepare herself, and ' If she falls when the time comes, without a satlsfac tory excuse or providing a substitute, she Is fined $1. Another club of the I state goes even further; a $1 fine is the penalty for the first offense, but the woman who falls the second time to do her part without good excHise forfeits her membership In the club. This week will practically conclude the local club work for the summer. All of the departments of the Woman's club have completed their year's work, elected offi cers and planned their work for next year and adjourned. Monday, May 15, .the club will hold Its annual meeting, which will be the last Until next fall. A few of the local organizations continue their meetings dur ing the year, but they are the ones that are earning on philanthropic work. Among them are the .Women's Christian associa tion, the Women' Christian Temperance union, the Visiting Nurses and the Creche board. The Toung Women's Christian as sociation will hold its twelfth anniversary meeting Monday evening In the association rooms and at that time Mrs. Byers and Miss Anthony will give reports of the na tional meeting recently held at Detroit, The reports' of the year's work will also be given. The second annual convention of the clubs of the third district of the Nebraska Federation held at Fremont last week af forded an admirable demonstration of the possibilities of the district organization. Mrs. Keefe's plan of emphasizing one or two particular lines of work was especially commendable. Owing to the great number of clubs to be heard from at the state meeting, the time for the reports Is neces sarily limited, and the full, free discussion of work Is out of the question. Besides this, there are so many who cannot attend the larger meeting who can give the day to the meeting of her own district, and in this particular. In the strengthening of local Interest and Interests, the district meeting Is accomplishing what the state gathering cannot hope to do. Miss Bianche Sorenson, voice, Ramge fclk. Huldah C.
