.fK REE : OMAHA, Tl'ESDAV, MAY Ifi, 101(1. Society Notes -:- Personal Gossip -:- Entertainments -:- Club Doings WEDDING PLANS ARE KEPT SECRET Bachelor ii Willing Hit Friendi Should Know, But the Woman ii Reticent. SO NO NAMES ARE MENTIONED Br MELLIFICIA Mar IB- Widow do not take kindly to an nouncing their engagements, es pecially when a court decree, and not the Grim Reaper, has liberated them. When the man is a bachelor, as in this case, he is perfectly willing that all may know, but the woman holds him back. , Just what ethics here is fitting to the society editor? The couple areso well known that their intentions to wed each other is "a nice morsel of news to all the city, exclusive of their own set. And news is news that is as fundamental a principle in the newspaper world as the law of gravitation and attraction in the firmament. But how far is the society page immune? Surely the woman active in the social world should be given as square a deal by the society editor as a criminal may expect of the no lice reporter. No matter how des perate the record of a member of the light-fingered gentry may be, no newspaper would dare print that he was planning this burglary or that holdup. The police reporter would have to wait until the deed was done. If a perfectly sweet and gentle fouled woman does not wish to an nounce her engagement, it is surely her own affair, especially when she has passed through the period of youth's effulgence when all the world seems rosy and ready to re joice and be happy with her in her newly found joy. It is really true that this marriage is to be three matrons, who really know, have said so, and the man has told every friend that "she is the sweetest girl in all the world."

WATCH THE GIRLS DANCING Omaha's best known clubwomen were the guests of the Brandeis stores' welfare department at lunch eon at noon in the new cafeteria and lunch room established a month ago for the girl employes especially. Headed by Mrs. C. V. Haves, chair man of the social science department of the Omaha Woman's club, the ( clubwomen watched the girls enioy- insr their lunch hour, partook of an excellent luncheon furnished the girls at a very small price and ex pressed themselves as highly grati fied at the latest effort of the Bran deis stores in looking to the welfare of their employes. Over .VH) girls are served here each noon. The clubwomen were the guests of Thomas F. Quintan, but a committee of saleswomen, including Misses Margaret Kerr, Josephine Urady, ma Llovd. Nell Donahue. Kebina Ham merer, Elizabeth Zimmerman, Cesiah Jones and Mrs. Sarah (iary, and Mrs. I'illie Secord, acted as hostesses, ex hibiting as great a degree of gracious attention as in a professional ra pacity. , i tnera neip uuu Ervine Brandeis, Karl Louts, Charles oethen and others in charge also covered themselves with glory in actinar as hosts to the proverbially critical clubwomen, who attended the luncheon to the "number of twenty- five. ' . The restroom was a gay scene dur ing the lunch period. A young chap struck up some lively ragtime tunes while the girls danced. But .-alas, they danced alone, or rather together, for here, as everybwere, there seemed to be a dearth of men! . Sigh (or Men. . "Of course, we enjoy this im mensely,' but I do wish there were some men to dance with," sighed one roguish maiden. "Sometimes a few of the men come up here, but oftener they don't." Aside from this, the restroom is the center of much friendly activity. "Meet me at noon in the cafe or rest room," calls up rosy visions of good things to eat, music for a dance and a few moments to rest and chat, cro chet,' tat or embroider, as the spirit moves them, for many a busy needle was plied during the noon hour. "This achievement of the welfare department will work wonders with the girls," remarked one of the work ers. "In the health results alone we feel highly gratified, since many girls who had but a small sum to spend would usually make a lunch of ice cream and randy or something equally unsatisfying."
