The feaurea of the week, so far as the
calendar Indicate at least, will be the
musical and recital at the Cotintry club,
provided by the directors for Thursday
evening- A table d'hote dinner will be
served at 7:30, and there will be dancing
from t "to :30 o'clock. The program will
be given In the. reception room by profes
sional talent and will begin at 8.30 o'clock.
During the- Intermission, betwaen i:V and
10:15, tnere will be dancing, then more
number of the. program and after that
dancing again. Considering the positive
dearth of entertainment, the affair promlsoa
to be well attended.
A helater echo of the recent "Booster
excyrslnn haa been delighting the member
of the fashionable set of late, at the ex
pens of the son cf a prominent Omaha
family 'who, shica 'his graduation from
Yala two or three years ago has been as
sociated: with his father In one of the big
retail firm of the city.' This I the story:
WJhen the Boosters reached Casper, Wyo.,
they received the same cordial reception
that had been extended them all along tho
way. K dancing party, at which the wlvea
and daughters of. the. business men were
present.vwas one of the feaures. Among
these hostesses waa one young woman more
lovely than all the rest at least In the
opinion of the-yoon; Omaha man, as he
confided It to a member of his party. She
also danced divinely, so divinely In fact
that he wrote her name across his whole
card and did not trouble to provide him
self with other partners. She seemed quite
aa much Impressed aa he was, and at the
end of 'an hour's tete-a-teto they, had
agreed that, should she find It possible to
visit Omahft friends this summer she would
have a perfectly, lovely time. Later In tho
evening; they met again where the party
wan being entertained at supper, but th e
time the fair one was shadowed by a
formidable. Ikxrttlhg elderly perscm whom the
young Booster speculated might be her
father, or uncle or, posalbly, guardian, aa
he bore the same name. Quite undisturbed
by the severity with which the elderly
party regarded him, the Omaha man re-,
nt wed liia attention-!, ingorlng all Interrup
tion, until his friend and confidant called
him aside to advise him that the "old man
was the husband of the fair one, was In
sanely Jealous, and had his 'eye on him.
Then ha came too, and since, his com
panions on that excursion have ' acquired
an unpleasant habit of whistling, when
ever he meet them, that popular little
ditty, "I Can't , Get Away to Marry
You Today; My Husband V,ont Let Ma."

WORK OF THE WOMEN'S CLUBS

Eastern Woman Discusses Value of
Bureau of Information.
PRACTICAL AID TO CLUB WORK
yru. Mary I, Wood, Bsrrss Mananer,
Makes Report of Its rp
t laha Healn to Appreciate
Its Valae.
Ther Is probably no more valuable de
partment In the organisation of the Gen
eral Federation of Women'e Clubs thsn
the bureau of Information, although club
women generally are only beginning to ap
preciate Its value. "The following discus
sion by a prominent club woman recently
la worthy the consideration of all:
"It Is time for club women to reallie th.U
the duplication of work Is a serious waste
of strength and ability. Librarians have
told me that year after year busy women
spend hour In searching out material lor
papers that are read before their clubs,
and then filed away out of reach of other
women who go over the same ground.
"With a central bureau or committee of
a practical kind such fundamental Infor
mation, as .to. laws, experiments and printed
opinions of educators would have been
available at once. Instead of that, twenty
or more women painfully hunted out the
fame facts, each one probably Incomplete
In ome vital pilnt, and the result of the
work of the twenty lias left no record for
the twenty or forty women who will do
the digging again this year. Industrial
education, forestry questions, public play
grounds, are topics that will loom largo
with club women for the next few years,
and It should be the purpose of federa
tion committee to anticipate such ques
tions of. general Interest by bringing to
gether all the material acquired by indi
vidual club and members. The success of
the General Federation bureau of informa
tion will afford an incentive for similar
state . clearing house for clubs, and all
the collections can finally be turned over
to the General Federation files. The scope
and magnitude of this combination of club
women has only lately been fully realized
by the club women? themselves, and within
the organization are hundreds of Women
fully alive to the strength and force that
lies in unification of methods of adminis
tration, and I look forward to seeing this
great organization .become more and
more businesslike and efficient In the de
tails of management.
Mra. Wood's He-port,
"No department of the Gen -ral Federation
of Woman's clubs bears such a close re
lationship to Individual club and club
women as the bureau of information. Mrj.
Mary I. Wood, the manager of the bureau,
made her flrat report to the biennial show
ing the extent of the work of that office.
Mr. Wood said: 'The credit for the great
plan, the Immediate thought which animated
and set In motion the establishment of the
bureau, was Mra. Decker's, although wo
find In-Mrs. Moore' report of reciprocity
committee at the St. Louis- biennial the
first suggestion. It waa In response to a
recognized need that the bureau was con
ceived. The question had been raised,
"What I the General Federation doing for
us? What bond .1 there', bet wfen i the
individual club- and the General Federal
tlon? Why Join the General Federation?"
It waa to answer these Inquires, to bridge
this gulf, to muke what threatened to be a
series of Individual clubs, or at tho most
a aeries of state federatlona that the bureau
was created. The thought which underlies
the. foundation Qf, the .General Federation,
"From each according to her gifts, to each
accord ng to her need," was still in theory
the underlying, theory, but It has remained
for the bureau to put. It Into practical ex
eoution. '.
" 'The confusion of names of officers,
committee chairmen, and other .workers of
the federation, left the woman of the small
and somewhat remote club still unable t
know to whom she should apply for the
help which would have been given gladly.
It waa a fact that not one In a thousand
clubwomen co-ild tell the names of the dif
ferent chairmen of committees. If It waa
d'fflcult to remember twenty names, It Is u
comparatively simple matter to remember
one. Thousands of women have testified to
this. Since the establishment of the bureau
less than two years ago more than ten
thousand letters have been received from
clubwomen alone, while many others have
been received from buslnsn men, editors,
lecturers, societies, associations, and many
others. The fact is significant enough to
prove beyond argument the wlFdom of es
tablishing the bureau. But the real test
has been Its practical usefulness. The cor
respondence speaks also for this phase of
the question, since ft, is obvious that unleai
the bureau had met (he needs of the appli
ctnt no such numler cf wemen wiuld I ave
sought Its help. Ten thousand letters mean
ten thousand needs, and through the cour
tesy, of experts, teachers, professors, pub
lishers, editors, as well as the individual a'd
of the officers and committee membera of
the General Federation and many other
organizations, the bureau has been able
to give the needed asistanco.
Soane of the Reasons.
" "The principal reasons why the bureau
haa been able to serve so large a number
are, first, the necessity of remembering but
one address for all questions; (2) the In
fluence of the General Federation which Is
fully recognled by those concerned In the
consideration of public welfare work; 3)
the value of a clearing houso for any groat
organisation; (4) the worth of a permanent

" "Into the bureau have poured year rona
study programs, syllabi, magazine arti
cles, press clippings, magazines, books,
pamphlet and copies of noted addresses
snd papers prepared for club programs.
Today the bureau has more than twenty
five hundred study outlines which may be
recommended after the test of club use.
In many cases these tudy outlines are
supplemented by syllabi, which have been
prepared by experts. The subject covered
by these programs for study Include a
great, variety of subjects under tho gen
eral head of art, history, literature, travel,
science, etc.
. " 'The further we hsve gone with the work
of the bureau the more convinced we have
become that there is yet much ground un
touched, which the bureau should cover.
We have only begun In a small way to
show what may be accomplished. It should
and must be a lower of strength to the
General Federation, whose srvart It Is,
It should serve the pffloera and chairmen
of the state federatlona, clubs, and Individ
ual membera the place where help may be
sought. It should encourage the weary,
hearten u the sick, and revive the dying
club. It is from the active, alert, pro
gressive club that we get our Inspiration
and strength. It Is to the club needing
suggestions, direction and encouragement
that we give aid. The otraers and chair
men of committees are In a sense experts,
and by their auperior intelligence the plana
are laid out and the policies determined
upon. But these officers have too great
a burden of club work to have to deal
with the great mass of details which de
volves upon lha execution of these plans.
These expert leaders should be saved aa
much of the routine aa possible in order
tbat the entlr federation may hav th
benefit of that: t thought aud serv(c.' "
APPETITES 0NTHE ATLANTIC
Some Idea at the Qaaatltlrs ot Food
tlmismr" hy I'smaensiera on
Ortas Boats.
It must he the gyroscope attachment on
the modern transatlantic liner, or else the
ball bearing on which they run whlih
haa reduced the proverbial amount of sea
sickness among the passengers. If It shall
turn out that they do not have a gyroscope
attachment and navigation 1ms nothing to
do with ball bearings readers are respect
fully requested to supply their own ex
planation. That an explanation Is due
comes to one's understanding after only a
little examination of the food figures re
lating to 1W7, picturesquely set forth by
the chief steward of one of the big liners.
Seasick Mssengers, no trmttcr how many
of them are carried, could not comfortably i
consume food of which the wholesale cost
wss more than ll.OOn.noo. nils Is seen at
once when It I noted thnt tho total ex-'
penso for coal on the same line was but
$7,000,000. and. of course, none of the boil
ers was seasick, and their consuming ca
pacity Is notoriously greater than any pas
senger, no matter how good an appetite he
has. .......
Before noting some of the figure of
food It is pleasing to observe' eome of
those relating to beverages. Now, as to
champagne, which Is said to ftp an excel
lent cure and for that matter a, preventa
tive of seasickness, passengers last year
pulled the plugs out of only a few more
than 51,(00 bottles of champagne. When
It comes to claret the figures jump so re
spectably that it is seen that a man may
raise a thirst somewhere west of Suez tis
well as east. Of that cheerful and ruddy
beverage the first-class passengers con
sumed 12!),2fl bottles. That sounds pretty
good, but the consumption by the third
class passengers makes It appear a tnere
tipple by crmparlson. for those In the
steerage Joyfully drank not less than 1:11,297
gallons of claret, presumably of the va
riety known as petit blue, about , which
there Is a song which the Paris students
sing when inspired by It.
There Is something tobservlrrg this Just
as the prohibitionists have nominated their
ticket) rather- appalling to read that of
the various grades of brandy the passon
gers consume 20,ti11 bottles and ' 73,1)84 gal
lons. But these are after all trifling nips
when ,wo come to look at. the figures re
lating to beer, for of that beverage more
than 600,000 gallons were drunk, and It Is not
reported that the quartermasters had any
unusual police duty to perform at that.
The recent Installation of a la carte sys
tem In the restaurant of the modern liners
accounts for an amazing growth In the
consumption of delicacies, such aa were
seldom found on even tho best ships when
the business of feeding passengers was ex
clusively table d'hote. Restaurant diner
on the liners whose figures are being con
sidered consumed many, many thousand
partridges, snipe, quails, pheasants, grouse,
canvasback ducks. They demanded liter
ally many hundreds of thousands of live
lobsters and crawfish, of fresh llttlenecks,
bluepoints, and soft-shell crabs. They con
sumed such a quantity of green-turtle soup
that the chefs had to use up .13,107 pounds
of fresh turtle In Its making. f ,
Coming around to the more substantial
articles' of diet It Is found that of fretih
beef there were used 8,311,927 pounds, and
of porK and veal and mutton about 750.0U0
pounds of each. Potatoes to go with these
weighed In excess of 10,000 tons, a very fair
cargo In itself.
The passengers seem to begin the day
with hearty appetites, as .well us going to
lunch and dinner lt the same blessed con
dition. They consumed of eggs 6,500,000, and
of calves' liver and bacon an appropriate
quantity to supplement the eggs, and with
their morning toast 216.503 tins of marma
lade and other sweets.
. A If these figures were not proof enough
that Lloyds should muke a very low rate
of Insurance against seasickness these days
it is noted that besides what smoking ma
terial passengers took oil board with them,
2,327,225 cigars and packages of cigarettes
were had from the smoking room steward.
It Is interesting to note In conclusion tiial
while the consumption of beer, wine and
spirituous liquor Indicates pretty generous
living, figuring on the basis of all the pas
sengers carried for the year each passer-ger
consumed after all only five-sixths of a
gallon of such cheering beverages, while the
average consumption of mineral water was
a full gallon. These figures do not Include
7.223 gallons of sterilized milk, which were
dealt out to the children on board. Wash
