Christmas and New Year's are the moat
popular of all the holidays and the social
world make them the occasion for mirth,
for laughter, for good cheer, for new reso
lutions and farewells to retrogression.
Omaha society seems to have made one
great resolution to have a still better time
this year than It had last. It certainly
made a good beginning, as on the New
Year of 1S07 social gayety was at Its
lielght and is still continuing, with not
even a suggestion of abatement except for
a rather scant calendar this week, until
the Lenten season. Then It is feared the
strenuous lndulgers will be like brave
ships that sail In the fair of morning, only
to be bits of( wreckage on the shore by
night. But these are exciting times, a
multitude of things to see, to hear, to 'do,
and youth, so full of life, find all these
pleasures and duties so absorbing that It
will probably take a cleverer generation
than we are to eliminate this restless
activity. Lent, while not universally ob
served by all religious organisations, ex
cept by the Catholic and Episcopal
churches, that is as to church restrictions
and church regulations, still la generally
observed by all as a moat appropriate time
to set aside for religious thought charitable
' needs and a good rest for the gay pleasure
seeker. But even the strictest observant
of Lent may find time for other diversions
aside from the serious. In this case bridge,
being a modern invention, cannot be num
bered among the seven cardinal sins. There
fore it can reign unchecked and unham- I
pered through Lenten austerity. It seems
strange that Omaha society, always so
ready to take up new fads and drop them
as soon as the novelty wears off, should
still be contented with bridge, the potency
of which never seems to lessen. In fact,
everybody is nearer "wee bit daffy" than
a year ago. Numerous series of parties
for the enjoyment of Its charms are al
ways in progress. ' How strongly It has
. become intrenched in the affections of
womankind can better be estimated when
one considers that the tea parties, kenslng
tons and all other traditionally feminine
pursuits have been unhesitatingly aban
doned In Its favor. This Is the more as
tonishing, as conversation In this pastime
must be practically abandoned. Two sen
tences, "May I play?" and "Pray do," com
prise the average vocabulary. But there
Is a hidden secret underlying all this pop
ularity of the game. The hostesaea find
that this enthusiastic absorption of the
game assures a successful party. Hence
Its frequency.
There Is more engagement gossip afloat
Just now than there has been for a half
dosen years. At least a doxen members of
paratlvely. And then there Is a quiet tittle
affair going on In . set that has long since
become "married folks." A few of the orig
inal members are still among the unat
tached, however, but the ' prospects . are
bright for their soon following the ex
ample of the others.

WOMAN'SWORRISTHEWORLD
Third Biennial Beport of Hebraiks Publio
Library Commiisian,
MUCH OF INTEREST TO WOMEN IN BOOK
Work of the Travellas; Library aad
How It Adds to the Commercial
Life of Raral Districts
In Nebraska,
The third biennial report of the Ne
braska Public Library commission has
been Issued and Includes much of Interest
to club women and others who have con
tributed to the success of this very valuable
institution. The following brief summary
of the work of the commission gives an
idea of its value to the state
The 106 traveling libraries have made 429
trips, visiting 177 places In 69 counties; 4,342
volumes have a reported circulation of 32,
"80. Three new permanent library stations
have been established, making fifteen In
all, and 1,230 volumes have been sent as
special loans to 143 places. The establish
ing of permanent library stations has been
the work of a number of clubs of the
state. By the payment of $40 for one
traveling library a community gains the
privilege of having a succession of traveling
libraries for five years. The demand for
special loans Is becoming more and more
frequent, and the commission is meeting
It just as far as possible. These are the
requests from students for material or
reference works on special subjects. Club
women, teachers, high school students and
debaters, all make these requests, and,
thanks to the courtesy of the state library
and the state university library, the com
mission has been able to supply most of
the requests. ,
Help for the Ambitions.
Great effort Is also being put forth by
the commission In behalf of school libraries.
In many towns money has been - raised
in various ways to buy books and then
the commission is consulted regarding the
selection of books. A graded list of 600
books suitable for school libraries has been
compiled and is freely circulated among
teachers, and Miss Charlotte Templeton,
secretary of the commission, has frequently
addressed teachers' institutes and normal
schools, and a great deal of correspondence
has been done. "In a rural state like
Nebraska," says the report, "where towns
are small and a long way apart, the dis
trict school library must often take the
place of a public library and furnish read
ing not only for the children, but for the
young people who are out of school and
the fathers and mothers as well. Teachers
and superintendents are very generally
awakened to the great possibilities in a
well selected collection of books, and the
past two years has seen a period of great
activity in building up school libraries."
The total addition of books during the
last two years has been 1,022 volumes, 912
of which have been acquired by purchase
by the commission.
Y. W. C. A. Reception.
