I After a round of emaller affalra the first few daya, aoclety closed one of Jth busiest weeka of the winter with a cruah of smart functions Friday and Saturday, all of which were pretentious beyond the ordinary. Con solcuous above everything else, of course, was the Wharton-Klrkenda.ll wedding and reception Friday evening and the series of amart though email prenuptlal airaira in cidental to them. The eame evening Mr, and Mra. Samuel Kats opened their home for an Informal reception In honor of Miss Myrtle Elvyn of Chicago, the pianist who appeared In Omaha Thursday evening. While quite unpretentious, it was a gather ing of the local artists and one of these large affairs regrettably unusual among those people who have so much In common, The birthday party of the Visiting Nurses association - Saturday afternoon proved all that Is expected. This tea is an annual af fair to which the majority of Omaha's fashionable women lend their presence and their talent for one of the most worthy Charities of the city. The attendance has eome to be so large that the former plan of holding it in some of the larger homes has had to be abandoned and Wattles' Mem orial pariah house proved an admirable substitute. Still another large affair of Saturday afternoon was the 4 o'clock tea given by the Misses Wallace, complimentary to one of the season's brides who has returned for a brief visit with her family. This week's calendar Is not promising. The girl who isn't a bride, or engaged. or, at least, "suspected," Is positively unln terstlng, now-a-days. At leaat, one would get that Impression from the fashionables, who decline to depart from the subject of brides or brides-to-be for long at a time. Of course, the groom-elect comee In for some attention that Is, while he ls'eleot," feut he will do wall to make the moat of this period of consideration before definite announcement Is made of plans for the wedding. Everybody knows what scant figure he ruts at the wedding. Of all the participants In the ceremony he la the least Important, with the possible exception of the clergyman. Even the ushers coma in for a more consplouous part, for they are at least privileged to "precede the bridal party," If the wedding be of suf ficient pretentiousness to afford one of those Impressive pageants that pass down the church aisle to the measure of the wedding march. But still, the announcements continue to come and this spring promises to ee at least a half doscn weddings in the fash ionable set, all of which are expected to be of more than ordinary Importance. Racial Ch It-Chat. Master Donald Adam, son of Mr. and Mrs, Andrew Adam, Is convalescing from a seri ous Illness. Captain and Mrs. Beckurta of Fort Crook will leave thla week.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficient disinfect ant and purifier In nature, but few rea. Use Its value when taken Into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal la a remedy that the more you take of it the better; it Is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gaasea and im purities alwsys present In the stomach and Intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok ing, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and Im provea the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gass which collect in the stomach and bowels; it dls Infects the mouth and throat from the poison ' of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal In ens form or another, but probably the best char coal and the most for the money Is In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are corn. posed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics In tablet form or rather In the form of large pleasant tasting lozenges, tha char coal being mixed with honey. The dally use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much Improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of It la, that no poalble harm can result from their continued use, but, on the contrary, great benefit Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: "I advise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas In stomach and bowela, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat: I alao be Have the liver is greatly benefitted by the dally use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although . la some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Loz enges than In. any of the ordinary char coal tablets."

The social science department wJU have charge of the program at Monday after noon's open meeting of the Woman's club. "Omaha's Greatest Need" will ie the subject of the afternoon and Judge Lee Estelle will have charge of the pro gram. Judge Estelle is chairman of a committee of juvenile court workers ap pointed to devise means for establishing an industrial farm for boys who como under the jurisdiction of the Juvenile court. The mont desirable plan of con ducting such a farm will be dlscusced by the members of the committee, In cluding: Rev. George Beccher, Rev. C. J. Stenson, Rabbi Frederick Cohn, Rev. F. L. Loveland and Judge Howard Kennedy. Traveling Art Galleries. ' The traveling art galleries sent out by the art committee of the General Fed eration of Women's Clubs are making a great record this season. A third col lection waa placed at the disposal of the committee December 1 by the Chlcagb Water Color club. The collection Includes forty-five paintings and Is now in Wis consin and much in demand. The west ern gallery is traveling In Missouri and the eastern agllery traveling through the south, where the demand Is greater than can be met. The paintings will return to Chicago about June 1 and will be re turned to their owners. These traveling collections have given material stimulus to the study and interest in art through out the country. The work of the very best artists In the galleries attract at tention wherever exhibited. One of these loan collections was a feature of the con vention of the Nebraska federation held at Hastings last October. Women Want Eight-Hour Law. The club women of Colorado are up In arms. For years there has been a law In Colorado prohibiting women from working in factories and shops more than eight hours a day, or more than forty- eight hours a week. Recently this law has been declared unconstitutional. The women of Colorado are reported to be more stirred up over it than anything that has happened since they received the ballot. A local paper published a cartoon showing the supreme court hand' Ing this decision to a sad-faced laundry girl, while behind her and holding her hand looms up a tall, resolute looking woman, labelled "Woman's Clubs," saying to the court: "Thla un-American act of yours has done more for the woman wage earner than all the organization and leg islation could have done In years." An other paper reports a club woman as say ing of the Judge who handed down the deckilon: "Oh, Judge Blank! Well, you know he always had a spine like jelly Jelly that wouldn't Jell." For Women Principals. The Political Equality league and the Mothers club of Berkeley, Cal., have joined forces against the local school board be cause of a recently adopted rule forbidding the employment of women as principals in schools having an eighth grade. Tho man who introduced the obnoxious rule says that a man is necessary to discipline the larger boys. The members of the two women's clubs differ with him and point to hundreds of schools throughout the west In which women . are serving successfully as principals. The Berkeley ! women have made personal investigations to sustain their contention and declare that their town shall not be made yan exception in discriminating against women. Consultation for Women. The Women's Trade Union league of Chicago supplies medical consultation and advice to working girls who are members of trade unions for 10 cents a year. The league has announced the appointment of Dr. Rachel 8. Karros of Hull. House as It staff physician. Dr. Karros has set aside portions of three days In each week for these consultations and will give special attention to diseases which are the result of occupations followed by women.

LIBERALS HAVE FEW DUCHESSES Wiles et goelal CI Ink-era to 8enro Titled Persona at Their Fane tlono Bloek Servants Tabooed. LONDON, Feb. 15. (Special.) With the opening of Parliament political hostesres resume their functions of dispensing hos pitality and smiles In the Interests of their respective parties. Petticoat politicians are far more numerous here than In America, I believe, and they play, the game differ ently. Their motto Is "Feed the beasts," the beasts being the men, of course. Bounteous repasts, served by matrons of high social distinction, are found often to be more effective than masculine oratory In strengthening partisan loyalty and win nlng over desirable recruits. It Is a species of campaign In which the conservatives have all the best of It. They possess an overwhelming majority In the House of Lords. The wives of the hered Itary legislators naturally accept the politi cal faiths of their husbands. American peeresses, who might be sup posed to furnish exceptions to this rule don't. They are all wedded to conserva tive noblemen and are the staunchest sup porters of hereditary distinctions and all the other things whloh differentiate a mon archy from a republic. Nearly all the coroneted dames are conservatives, and with political hostesses titles count for much. They make It easier for a con servatlve to get Into society with the big "S" than for a liberal; and, particularly where a man has a wife who Is ambitious :o meet a duchess or a countess, that con slderatlon Is not unlikely to be the de termining factor In deciding what party he shall support. Even If the House of Lords were abolished, or Its political powers greatly curtailed, the peeresses would still count as valuable political assets. Liberals In Tilth t Place. The liberals cannot muster a single duchess or marchioness to entertain In their behalf, while the conservatives can count on half a dozen of each and more at pinch. . The mainstay of the government In play ing the society game Is an American woman, to whom I have frequently re ferred in this correspondence Mrs. "Lulu' Harcourt, wife of the first commissioner of works, who is a cabinet minister. If her husband were only a lord she might aa compllsh a great deal more, but all that a woman can do who lacks a title she may be depended on to do. She is In great form for the fray, and, like the wise woman she Is, she has provided herself with some wonderful frocks straight from the Rue de la Palx and new Jewels from the Rue da RIvoll. I hear of a white satin princess frock cut with the still popular empire waist that sounds entrancing. Stiff, rather hard fabrics are yet again "the thing" In Paris, but Mrs. Harcourt has had the good taste to have hers trimmed with point de Venlse and the buttons which adorn the bodloe are of brilliants, with pearl centers. She had extraordinary popularity with her husband's party and never did a woman In so brief a time manage to get so much influence over certain members of tho cabinet. She Is very successful In getting appointments for her friends. It Is some thing to her credit that she accomplished all this by thoroughly "straight" means. One needs not to go back very far to recall the amazing manner in which a few so clety women managed things of the kind both with the War office and Ms majesty's government a few years ago. There used to be a story that a well-known countess got "places" for half her following of young men from a veteran general by the kisses she gave him. She used to count out most carefully to him the compensa tions. Small posts she repaid wltb five. bigger ones with ten, and really handsome ones fetched as many as twenty. With Mrs. Lulu Harcourt It is a question of the gift of the gab and a certain tenacity and determination of purpoa-; which is bound to succeed. Besides It Is her boast that she onlv recommends "de serving lndlvlduala." Catching; the "Hard-l p" Rich There are plenty of rich "climbers" who calmly take up a "Court GuideV or a "Peerage" and making a list of names therefrom calmly proceed to Issue invita tions to their distinguished owners. Some times no notice Is taken of the receipt of such letters; occasionally people accept, for the fun of finding out what "the show" will be like; again, hard-up peers and peeresses are sometimes very thankful to rub shoulders with rich people, however vulgar, who can give really good "spreads" and they and their hostess become fait friends. The climber thus gets her foat well on the social ladder. It Is to be sem' that much discretion has to be exercised in the issuing of such Invitations. Evidently the rich American who Bent the duchess of Roxburghe an Invitation for a dinner party possessed neither tact nor commonseniie, and knew nothing at all of the character pf her countrywoman. The duchess Is now more exclusive than royalty Itself. Sho has appropriated all the traditions of tho Roxburghe family and gone them ' "one better." When the duchess received the Invitation in question It waa placed by her secretary In another envelope and retumei with tho words. "There must be some mis take."
