HE general opinion In that "Society. women nro eoclety women bo
r I cause they have plenty of money and nothing else to do excopt
I to entertain." But local society women aro proving the old
theory false. 8oclety women of Omaha aro doing a lot of very
important things. They aro Interested In politics and hope to make many
reforms.
To a largo extent they aro Interested In art, and nlmost entirely
through their Influence tho only annual art exhibit of this city Is brought
hero. And now the women, assisted by a few men, are undertaking to havo
(i permanent art homo in our city, and It Is tho women who are taking tho
Initiative In this. It means perseverance, , endurance and enthusiasm
equal to that of carrying on a successful business.
A number of church women prominent In society have also proved
that they might have had a successful business career had they chosen
to do so. At tho Porto Rlcnn bazaar, held at tho apartments of Mrs. J
J. McMullen for the benefit of the First Congregational church, tho women
took In $500 the first day, notwithstanding the sale closes Friday, tho
thirteenth.
It was the women of this city also who ralsod funds for rebuilding
tho Sacred Heart convent after tho tornado.

century milestone (although she could easily pass
for thirty-five,) From her we learned more than
we ever knew. Her knowledge and experience
was communicated in tabloid form to our fitter.
You will get the benefit "Nothing is more un
wise than putting on the corset immediately upon
getting up in the morning or half resting in neg
ligee. Proper exercises should be indulged in to
restore the body to normal." Thus the expert
much more to tell you. Suggest you make ap
pointments for fitting by telephone. Call Miss

SWEET WORDS The man who could so
coin phrases as to convey an idea of taste with
description would be invaluable. The artist
sometimes, with paint and pigment, throws on
the canvass, for instance, Bon Bons so natural
as to make the mouth water and get the gastric
juices ready to do their duty. The words,
"Cobb's Candies" to those who know them have
the same effect as such a picture. Mr. Cobb says,
let us tell the dear people that we have specials
