Mrs. H. M. Bushnell of Lincoln, general
federation chairman for the state, has Is
sued the following letter to the club women
of Nebraska:
The tenth biennial, to be held in Cin
cinnati May 11-18. brings this question be
fore us: Shall Nebraska be well repre
sented at this splendid meeting? The ex
ecutive board at Its meeting In Omaha last
December voted unanimously that every
club would be benefited by belonging to
the General Federation, and as the mem
bership fee Is so small every club can
well afford to belong. The usual question:
What does the federation do for the indi
vidual olub has been answered many
times. Why not reverse the order and ask
how much the clubs are willing to do
for this organisation? An organization of
800,000 women, with a diversity ; of gifts
and talents, but with a unity of spirit The
Individual club la a law unto Itself, and
the. General Federation is composed of In.
dividual clubs, and Is it not 'a part of our
obligation to hold up the hands of those
who are In a position to work for the best
Interest of society by, Identifying our
selves with, this splendid body, which Julia
Ward Howe, calls 'a peaceful army march
ing under the banner of good will and
charity to all mankind."
' "The federated clubs are benefited by
having access to the Information bureau,
representation at the biennial, help at any
time from the chairman of the various
committees, report of the biennial, much
printed matter sent out by the press com
mittee, ' and the Inspiration that comes
from being an integral part of a body that
eiai'.d for social righteousness. It Is the
earnest desire of the federation secretary
tliat a large number of clubs be repre
sented at the coming biennial, and In order
to do ihla It will be necessary to have ap
plications for membership in the hands of
the chairman by March U. The applica
tion for membership should be made
through your state federation secretary.

Mrs. Philip N. Moore, president of tlie

Women feel 'their sovereignty grow less

I'nlted States senators and representatives.
We have rie-ver been asked, and we
should consider It Inadvisable, to Join this
national organization as clubs or as state
federations", since we have the special de
tailed work under our own department ot
child labor.
Kq u ally effective Is the co-operation with
the American Civic association, tlie Ameri
can Medical association, the National Con
servation commission, the (men's! . Rivers
and Harbors congress, the National edu
cational association and many others.
It seema wise to speak of two organiza
tions that have much confused the minds
of those who have not understood, but
who have wished to be loyal.
The American Federation of Arts, with
which we would have co-operted with
plaure. for it offered plans of work we
believe helpful, sent a misleading letter to
our slate federations, Implying the ap
proval, from an ex-president and the chair
man of our art department, of the prop
osition that the slate federation should
Join as a chapter.
In some cases the dues would be. Tor
one subject, many time larcer than the
entire dues to the General Federation.
The other is the women's rivers and har
bors congress1 suxlllary to tlie national
organization, formed to assist In any pos
sible wav the great work of waterways.
This was admirable, had they come to the
CTffAn1st!sri already exist!' for tnur
members. On iarge cluli saliT their letter
of Invitation to Join enclosed circulars upon
waterway, headed "General Federat'on
of Women's Clubs." and the club thought
Its loyalty demanded a knowledge of nwine
and indention. Thus this one ense, like
many others, came to my attention,
Second Circulars end equipment: The
work of the General Federation has beni
authorised by your votes. At times you
have objected to the many circulars ot in
formation and requests coming to you, to
be read in the club. On this account the
board of directors decided to ask the offi
cial organ, the Federation Bullrtln. to print
the circulars from department chairmen,
and thus reach every club in a most direct,
but not mandatory form. Any chairman
of the same department In the club can
find In this organ, if kept on file, all the
Information we may give. She will find
it no small amount.
The equipment of the General Federa
tion is much hampered by lack of funds.
A chairman 1ihh a small sum for the bi
ennial period, for stationery and postage
for circulars, etc. It is all we oan give.
She pays her own expenses to oouncll and
General Federation meetings to do our
work. We would be glad to soma! her to
the meetings of national organisations,
with which she must be affiliated and
where nhe would meet other experts in
that particular field. Only In three very
inexpensive geographical points were we
able to do this. The president and officers
who can tako the time do exactly this con
ference visiting at their own expense.
We would like to have traveling art
galleries and collections of slides to send
where needed; we need lecturers when
called for by amaller clubs; we need spe
cial libraries upon special subjects to make
more effective the work of clubs and to
do away with the criticism that many
take up lifetime subjects in one season.
The wonder Is we have done so much
with such small iwome through the loyal
devotion of many. Our small per capita tax

There should come to every club In the
United States, through direct and indirect
membership, a circular of questions ' from
our department, i heir ror this one com
plete sex ol questions some answer in
everv case.
I am told the General Federation Is
highly organized It Is not sufficiently so
to Drlng us returns as to wnat oiuoa are
doing, or the work of the federation, all
over the country. If it Is a power, as we
are told so many times by other organisa
tions and by many Individuals asking our
help, we should be able to state Just what

replies from only nine," you will recognize
that we are not iroxuna; proper ci&ia. j
am therefore hopeful that, as these ques
lions come to you (early In February), you
mav see that they are answered for this
one trial attempt. Afterward, if the state
take ur this method, as Massachusetts
hos most admirably lnmateo, it win te
but oiia set of uuetrtions for the year.
Please answer In some form. If only one
activity Is considered, answer; If all. the
back of the slip can be added for answers:
If none, write the name ot me ciud ana
across the questions, "no activity unour
thesn heads. We ell all know Just what a
club la doing ami its change In activity
from year to yetir. 1 nese questions must
be answered Immediately to have returns
in time for the chairman to digest before
the biennial.
We have a most inspiring program for
Cincinnati, and I long to speak to you and
take you by the hand, to talk over the
erest ni-oblems which belong to us. be
cause we hsve made them ours and be
cause we believe in them.

while of course the band Is on band to

"I have my office hours just as the con
ductor of tlie tourist parties have, and In
these hours everybody who wishes to con
sult me about anything will find me in.
So far as answering questions is concerned
I don't know that being in my office makes
the slightest difference, for I am answering
questions and giving advice from the time
we receive the tourists aboard ship until
their return landing. Oh, yes, 1 am pres
ent when they come aboard ship. Tt Is one,
of my duties) to help the conductor receive
and place the tourists.
"When I first began this wits a partic
ularly trying ordeal for me, because I did
not have a good memory for faces.
"It was a question . of cultivating my
memory for faces and nsmes or getting
other employment. I preferred the first
course and proceeded to. remedy my de
fective memory. Now I can almost say
I never forget a face and seldom am at a
loss for the name that goes with It. This
adds not only to my value to the ihip, but
to my own comfort and pleasure,
'If I was asked to enumerate the other
qualities necessary to fill my place with
success I believe I would begin by saying
you must be a good sailor. That is abso
lutely essential. I had a friend who was
very anxious for a place similar to mine
and after much working got one. She was
not a good sailor and after she made two
trips she had to give up
Besides this you must be able to ar
range and often think up various enter
tainments. You must have a large supply
of general information about every quarter
of the globe, and especially about the
countries the tourists are about to visit
You must be able to give the most exact
Information about the weather and the
clothing that will be suitable for them to
wear. ,
You must also Know all about - money
In every port and other bits of Information
about which a stranger may wish to In
quire. You must visit the sick If they care
to see you, talk to the timid and listen to
the bores. You must be patient, good
natured and tactful to the last degree.
When you can do all this you may hope
to make a first-class chaperon on ship
board. Of course, I am far from what I
describe, but being as near perfection as
any oive the ship people can get for the
salary I have the position and find it very
pleasant.
"On my first trip I rather overdid the
pleasant act. I started out on the principle
of treating everybody alike. Then I thought
everybody would like me and things would
be pleasant all around.
"Now, if there Is any place where
person's peculiarities come out It Is on
board ship. Some people wish to be let
alone to rest or think or to study and
enjoy things by themselves, while others
are off for a change and want all the
recreation and amusement that can be had,
It is a question of temperament, not of
claFs.
"On my first trip I tried to hand nut
shells ot Information around to all the
passengers Just as I tried to chat with
them all. I got a precious lot of snubbings
for my pains and as a result I began to
make a deeper and broader study of hu
manity. "Now when I see men and women se
quester themselves In some nook on deck
or turn their backs on their neighbors I
leave them alone, at least until they show
signs of wanting to break the Ice. When
that sign appears I take the first oppor
tunity to speak to them casually, never
making the approach too evident, and as
a rule I am pleasantly received. Once In a
1 great while there are both men and women
who for the entire trip keep themselves
secluded, but not often.
"Of course I have to make ,the enter
tainments I get up suit 'the people whom
they are intended to entertain. It la easy
enough to find out about card players, but
more difficult to spot the amateur musician
or the man or woman who can tell a good
story in an entertaining manner. Very
often I have formed musical clubs on board
that have proved a source of pleasure to
everybody.
"Besides planning for the regular enter
tainments of the cruise I try always to
have lighter entertainments that can be
carried through without too much prepara
tion. Games of various sorts take well with
some parties and then again guessing con
tests are very popular and are called for
several times during the cruise. On one
occasion I had an old-fashioned spelling
bee that afforded much amusement.
"Of course in such a position the chap
eron has an opportunity to meet many
charming people and sometimes real friend
ships begin. I can now recall more than
a dozen women who have taken the trip
with us on several occasions and because
they liked me. In these day when so many
i women travel alone they appreciate having
a woman to consult Instead of a man.
"Fi.om a financial point of view the posi
tion pays me well, a good living wage, and
the duties are pleasant because they are
congenial. It Is a comparatively new pro
fession for women,

Valentines Arc
Poorly Addressed
Piles of Them Therefore Lie at Post
office Undelivered and Un
deliverable. A collection of thousands of valentines
which cannot be delivered Is piling' up at
the Omaha postofflce. Countless piles of
these paper lace and lithograph creations
find their way to the dead letter office
each year because of the Inability of the
postal service to find the children to whom
they are addressed, '
"If In mailing valentines to children the
sender would take care to give the number
or to mall them In care of the parents of
the children the trouble would be eliml
nated," suggested J. It. WoodarA, post
master. The names of these little children
are not to be found In the directories and
there is often no way in which they may
be found."
The annual accumulation of dead letter
matter from this source In the Omaha post-
office alone Is surprising. The Valentine
day rush has already begun at the post-
office.

PERIL IN JAMMED HOSPITAL
Danger of ('ontsg-lon Most Alarming
at County Infirmary, Says
Dr. Swoboda.
"Danger of contagion in the county hoa
pltal, crowded as It Is, Is most alarming,"
said Dr. Louis Swoboda, county physician,
to members of the Board of County Com
missioners. "If something like an epidemic
should break out In the hospital the loss
of life In the basements, where there are
200 patrons, would be appalling. There is
no remedy for this overcrowding. The
other hospitals help us a good deal. Clark
son. Wise Memorial and St. Joseph's are
always willing to take cases and care for
them until they are convalescent, when
they are returned to the county hospital
There are fifteen typhoid cases In tho
county hospital now."
Dr. Bwoboda made these statements to
the commissioners at the end of the
promptly adjourned meeting Saturday
morning. Before this, he had been asked
about the matter of expense to the county
In the filling of proscriptions by druggists,
Inquiry arose because the board is hold
Ing ' up a bill brought by the F. and F
Drug store of South Omaha for $69. All
prescriptions on this bill wi re written by
Dr. i J. W. McCrann, assistant county phy
slclan.
Among the items on the bill are forty
four prescriptions for Phillip Monroe and
these come to $.'!94.r, or a little less than
$1 apiece. Now the Sherman-MoConnel
Drug company has a contract with the
county to fill all county prescriptions for
17 cents each.
Asked about the difference Dr. McCrann
declared, "They can't fill all prescriptions
at that figure."
A little later, Dr. Swoboda, inquired of,
retorted, "They do."
The board will send an order to Dr. Mc

Mrs. Philip J. Turner, who boarded at $30
South Twenty-second street with Mrs.
Freads, has not been home since Thurs
day afternoon and her landlady, anxious
about her, has requested the aid ot the
police department In the discovery of her
whereabouts.
Mrs. Turner was employed at Haarman's
pickle works, but desiring to make more
money, left, she told Mrs. Freads, to look
after another situation. She apparently

naodet'a Bowl of Coins.
For careless generosity, Daudet,
the
great French writer, could not be out
classed by any man of his time. At one
time he used to place on the mantelpiece
of his study, at the time when he held
his weekly receptions, a bowl which wss
filled with sliver coins. It was understood
that if any one of the Bohemians of letters
who came to see him needed a little finan
cial assistance he could go to the bowl and
help himself. The experiment naturally
failed. There were those who came to the
receptions only for the sske of the bowl.
There were those who put too liberal an
interpretation on the mute Invitation ex
tended to them. "I used to see fellows
pocketing the coins by handfuls," said
Daudet, "and In the end I had to abandon
the practice." Argonaut.

The Greatest Corset Inventito
Ever Introduced
(gorget (jfalhg Ho. 1
Women everywhere are prais
ing and buying the new Nemo
Corset No. 522.
Never has a corset produced
such extreme figure-reduction.
Never was a corset so delightfully
RESTFUL and COMFORTABLE.
That's why Nemo No. 522, in
less than two months, has become
the most popular and salable cor
set in America. ORIGINALITY,
COMMON-SENSE and REAL MERIT
have won an instant success! jj
Self-Reducing No. 522 $ C 00
with Lastikops Bandlet ) eJ
The new "Bandlet" is the fea
ture and the long, flexible skirt.
The ' Bandlet, which is semi
elastic, perfectly supports the
abdomen and internal organs, ,
allowing extreme reduction of
upper limbs as well as back, hips
and abdomen. And it simply
won't let the front steels stick
out, even when you're seated.
It's a WONDER!
There are now in the Nemo
SELF-REDUCING SYSTEM
FIFTEEN DIFFERENT MODELS
Five styles at $3.00. Three styles at
$4.00. Five styles at $8.00. One su
perb model, in w hite brocade, at $8.00j '
and one luxurious style (equal to the
best made-to-order corset you can buy
at $25), at $10.00.
When all women know about Nemo
Corsets, there will be a very small
market for other makes. '
