STAY-AT-HOMES among Nebraska club
women are watching the newspaper each
day for reports of the biennial convention of
the General Federation of Women's Clubs
now in session in New York, and wishing
they were there, too, despite the list of dire
warning "don'ts" sent out by the New York local
board.
The address and recommendations of Mrs. Percy
V. Pennybacker, the federation president, impresses
clubwomen all over the country for its timely and
wise consideration of important issues of the day.
A world-wide movement by women to harmonize
the nations, the first step in internationalism to be
taken by our women by calling together a great con
gress of women of the Americas; a continuance of
effort along the lines of improvement of rural life
and the Americanization of the immigrant; a study
of Latin-American peoples with the view of helping
in the development of Pan-American relations; and
a survey and plan of action in the motion picture
problem are among the recommendations of Mrs.
Pennybacker.
Mrs. Pennybacker also voiced a warning of cer
tain dangers which she declared confronted the fed
eration. One is the constant temptation for the fed
eration to be exploited for commercial purposes and
the second she described as "lack of continuity of
effort."
Politics, too, are ever of interest as well as the
social side of the biennial. The Nebraska delega
tion refused to commit itself before the departure as
to which candidate it would support, but Mrs. Josiali
Fvans Cowles of California seems to be the most
likely candidate to receive the support of this dis
trict, both because she is a western woman and is
acquainted with a number of NebrasKa women, hav
ing been entertained here in Omaha at the home
of Mrs. Frederick H. Cole. Mrs. Samuel Sneath of
Ohio 14 another strong candidateor the position,
while it is rumored that two Chicago women are also
seeking the office.
Mrs. John Hayes Hammond's luncheon of last
week in honor of the board of directors will per
haps go down in history as a gathering of the most
celebrated women of the day, if women reflect the
glory of their spouses as we believe rhey are sup
posed to, especially if their husDands are presi
dential candidates.
Smith college alumnae in Omaha were much im
pressed last week during the short visit of the west
ern trustee of the college, Miss Margaret Wells of
Minneapolis, who addressed the girls of Central
High school and also gave a talk at the luncheon in
her honor at the University club.
Smith college boasts perhaps the largest delega
tion of Omaha twirls at present of any eastern school
and a goodly number of them ro east for the Ivy day
exercises each ye.ir. Mrs. Harold t', hvarr is now
president ot the lot al .smith rluii; Miss Mary lath

THERE Is alwaya the question In a newer ao
cial circle whether it has quite entered the
tertiary period yet, emerging from all
middle class characteristics. Society is
strictly the play part of life, demanding
solely to le amused. When once so well
grounded that there are no further fears of failure in
exclusiveness, it is perfectly free to take what
amuses it being the "real thing," It stands for what
it is, all quite past the care-taking stages of the sec
ondary period.
It has often been a puzzle to some rich outland
rs who tried and failed to land in New York or
some other older center they could not understand
it, while on the othr hand another townsman of
theirs, without special pretenses or money, was
"taken up."
But the social "pick-up" had something new to
offer, and it had been presented in a fetching way,
while the perfectly good "turn down- had only the
good clothes, the nice manners and the money.
This is a trained state of development, a cultiva
tion of taste that gets beyond the desire for the
Sweets it must have the stinging, the bitter, the
pungent, the thrilling, the shocking, vCaviar is not
for the bear or the savage they preter honey.
To meet this super-cultivated demand of our
exquisite Flagellants, there is a precious little army
ot Johnnies-on-the-spot, all ready o give society in
the frttnry period just what it wants, no honey
pots, no sugar-plums, no lily-dew in their hands, but
instead they come d'.vvn upon smart drawing rooms
and select lecture chambers with their clubs, axes,
hammers, tongs, pitch-forks and scalping knives,
intellectual, ethical Huns
A short tune passed, a lecturer of the old sort
visited Omaha with a tongue like honey and teetlt
of rrystali7rd sugar-the lecturer told selected audi
encri of the richest women in town how perfectly
lovely rich women .ire; how unselfish; how over
worked in their altruistic labors,
Metween the two lecturers is the great chasm that
separates two pet mils, One w as a l.tdy" in every
sense of gratiilitiotber use of tbe term--lite other,
wrll, a witty-tiitiKued woman spoke of her as a
"tbui," the other day. 'Hie word fits nptally well -ami
there was a nietboil to it all -there is 4 taste
tor thuggery, for the sting and the tumulus of the
blows. No lecturer who can jji-t well paid for lec
tures is a fool. I'hey are ntfering something that 1.
wanted, islrrtng to an aiserttve taste.
Hut, the question is - how local is the Uitt?
Wbii h of the two lecturers is wanted back again ?
Will she with the honey pot come, or will it be
tbe ,lv with tbe !
On this banto the scttlente tit uf the question, have
