the final meeting of the season of several
luncheon, card and kenslngton clubs are
prominent, suggesting the breaking up of
winter. There are a few morn pretentious
things scheduled, however. Prospects are
that there will be a few large things this
spring, but the fashionables, in the main,
seein to be making their plans with refer
ence to the opening of the Country and
Field clubs, which are scheduled for the
early part of May. Naturally these Joys, of

BOY GOT A SEAT FOR GRANNY
Str- front ev York that Illustrates
the Bigness of Scl Dundy's
Heart.
A touching little incident, in which "Slip"
Dundy llgured. has reached Omaha friends
of Mr. Dundy through a clipping from the
New York World.
A waif accosted George Kingsbury, man
ager of the Hippodrome, and said: "Say,
mister, are you Mr. Dundy? I want a scat
for granny down where de big bugs 'sit
and one for meself up in de peanut gal
lery, but de guy in de cage won't sell 'em.
He says I'm toutin' for d" specs on de
walk. I've got de mazuma alright." Then
the boy brought out of his pocket a hand
ful of coppers, nlckles and dimes he said
he had saved for some time so he might
give granny a treat.
Mr. Dundy came from his office and over
heard part of the boy's talk and reserved
for him and granny a box. telling the buy
to buy granny a present with the money.
Fifteen minutes before the performance
started an uglier received from a newsboy
a note addressed to Mr. Dundy and read
ing: "We can't come; granny died to
night." Mr. Dundy ordered that granny's
box be kept vacant that evening. The
hoy's name was Jimmy King.

WOMAN U CLUB AND CHARITY
The election of de legates who will rep
resent the Omaha Woman' club at th
St Paul biennial will take place Monday
afternoon, April S3, by order of the club.
Instead of May 7, which Is the date of
the annual election of officers. Not a lit
tle Interest Is being manifested in th"
selection of the new officers, especially in
the presidency. Perhaps the most gen
erally talked of candidate Is Mrs. Edward
Joiieou, who has for the past two years
served as recording secretary, and for two
years preceding, as corresponding secre
tary. Mrs. Johnson has been an active
worker In several of the largest depot' -nients
of the club and is, perhaps, more
closely In touch with its diversified In
terests than any of the several women
proposed for the presidency. For the past
four years she has been one of its most
conscientious nnd efficient officers.
Wliile Mrs. Johnson has not consented to
serve she Is being strongly urged by sev
eral of the departments. Mrs. A. W. Bow
mun is another member who Is being
strongly urged to accept the nomination. I
It Is understood, however, that she has
declined to serve in the first, olllce and I
she Is being ssked to accept a nomination
for the first vice presidency. Mrs. H. J.
Pcnfold Is another much talked of possi
bility. She Is at present lirst vice presi
dent of the club and has served it before
In other oftlces. For two years Mrs. Pen
fold filled the office of treusurer, one of
the most exacting and trying positions
on the executive board, and here, as well
as in her present otftce, she demonstrated
Hbllity that has won her a substantial
support for the first office. Mrs. A. B.
Somers Is another that Is being strongly
advocated for the presidency. She has
not only worked In the art and other de
partments of the Woman's club but has
had executive experience as president of
Mu Sigma club. For the other offices there
seems to be little contention. The execu
tive work of the club has come to bo
very exacting of time and means us well
as ability an i there are few women among
tho most enthusiastic members who are
Willing to assume all the responsibility
the office entails.
The recent suggestion of Mrs. F. II.
Cole before the Omaha Woman's club, that
the plan of the Chicago Woman's club in
Its distribution of dues, be considered by
the local organization, has occasioned not
a little Inquiry and Is worthy the careful
consideration of the local club women.
The Chicago Women's club plan Is ex
plained by the following sections of Its
constitution relating to dues: "An annual
due of $15 shall be required from each
member before she shall be entitled to
take part In the election at the annual
meeting. This annual due of 15 shall be
appropriated as follows: Twelve dollars
shall go to the club treasury for club ex
penses only, t2 to the department to
which the member belongs, and the re
maining $1 goes Into a general fund to be
divided equally among the departments.
This division of funds shall be made by
the treasurer of the club In November
and April, and the funds so divided shall
be paid to the treasurer of each depart
ment." The constitution further provides that
a member may not be registered In more
than one department, though she may par
ticipate in any or all of them. While tho
Chicago dues are much in excess of the
Omaha dues, the plan might be applied in
a like proportion. The very limited al
lowance of 19 a year to each department
of the Omaha club has materially re
stricted the scope of several, as the de
tnunds of some lines of work necessarily
exceed those of others. The Chicago
plan would relieve this in a measure at
least, and would Insure a more equitable
distribution or appointment of the dues
by throwing the larger amounts to the
larger departments. It has been sug
gested that this plan might be adopted
by the Omaha club without any chango
lit tho constitution.
Monday afternoon's meeting of the social
science department of the Woman's club
will be under the direction of the civic Im
provement committee. Among the speak
ers will be Judge Slabaugh. who will talk
along the general lines of civic improve
ment; Frank Heller, secretary of the Pub
lic Play Grounds association: H. T. Clark
and Mrs. 8. R. Towne. In the Interest of
vacant lot and yard cultivation, and Mrs.
W. M. Alderson In the Interest of tree
planting. All the speakers have had an
active part In the agitation and work for
the beautifying and Improvement of Omaha
and will present .furtlier. plans for their
furtherance. An election of officers of the
department for next -year will follow the
program. This will he the last regular
meeting of the year, but it is probable that
an extra meeting will be held by request
for the consideration of summer work.
The stand of colors to he presented the
battleship Nebraska by the Daughters of
the American Revolution of Nebraska will
be on exhibition next Thursday In the city
hall between 2 and 5 o'clock. The same
afternoon the local chapter will present
Its annual gold medal to the high school
pupil writing the best essay on an assigned
revolutionary topic.
The current topics department of the
Woman's club will hold Its closing meeting
ol the year Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Dr. Mlllen will serve as leader and Dr.
Freda I.ankton will present a paper. There
will be oilier speakers on current topics.

give a kenslngton Thursday afternoon of
this week at the home of Mrs. Edward
rhelan, tiiu North Fortieth street. Mrs.
Moorehead. Mrs. Axtell and Mrs. Haarman
will be the aiMtaiit hostesses. Mr. C. C.

meeting last week, speaking of "Shopping."
He talked particularly of holiday shopping.
The meeting was largely attended.

Retlral of Mr. Samuel Burns.
Omaha Is about to witness the passing
from active busiress life of one of its
oldest merchants -Mr. Samuel Burns, of
crockery fame.
Saturday Mr. Burns turned over to the
Bennett Company his entire stock of high
grade china, crockery, glassware, cut glass
and queensware, preparatory to his retlral
from business. This marks the passing of
the most Interesting figure of the oldest
living generation actively engaged In the
development of western merchandising. Mr.
Burns Is the oldest retail merchant on
Farnam street, If not In Omaha, having
just completed forty-five years of unin
terrupted success in the same locality.
Needless to say, he Is Omaha's king of
crockerydom. He was the first to import
products of the French. German. Austrian,
Italian. Bavarian, Swedish, English, Scotch
and Irish potteries, and there Isn't a unit
in the spryest bunch of young crockery ex.
perts but Is willing to acknowledge that
Mr. Samuel Burns of Omaha has forgotten
more than "It" (the unit) has yet learned.
Mr. Bums is well known for his high
character as a business man, and the ter
mination of a successful commercial career
In one of the most fascinating Hues of re
tailing, is a something that interests every
body. An inventory ot the stock reveals an
aggregate of almost l'floo, which has been
sold to the Bennett Company. What their
plans are for turning same into cash, nnd
giving the public an opportunity for secur
ing traditional samples of Omaha's pioneer
crockery l.uslness are reserved for our ad
vertising columns.
"Marriage and Divorce" Is to be the topic
before the Omaha Philosophical society this
afternoon, the opening address to be mads
hy Mrs. A. O. Hlgcins. who is well known
as an earnest and forceful speaker and
may be relied on for an able presentation
of the subject. The meeting open at S
