Omaha Club Has Announced
Many Affairs for the Winter
Months.
IS TO AVOID CONFLICTS
By MELLIFICIA August 2,
A brilliant winter season is fore
casted by the entertainment commit
tee of the Omaha club, while we, with
less forethought, brook no plans for
the morrow.
Ushered in by the Ak-Sar-Ben cor
onation Dan, tne special seasons
opening event will also include
supper at the Omaha club, following
the crowning of the king and queen.
One month later, on November 6, the
club will be the rendezvous of its pa
triotic members, when election re
turns will be received there by pii
vate wire.
IT If . ..
ntw j ear s eve, wnicn tans on
Sunday evening this year, supper will
De served at n o clock, with a con
cert until midnight and dancing
thereafter.
The annual meeting of members
will take the form of a dinner, Satur
day, January 20, and one week later
there will be a large dinner-dance at
the club.
But it is Monday. February 19.
1917, to which the fashionable set is
looking forward with interest. That
is the date set for the Mardi Gras
ball, a masque such as the local so
cial world has not enjoyed for many
a moon. Masques will be off for the
midnight supper.
George Washington's birthday will
be observed as it has been each year.
There will be a dinner and a num
ber of addresses.
With the calendar already studded
with these brilliant events when the
mercury still flirts with the 100-de-
gree mark, it is augured that the com
ing season will be one of unsurpassed
resplendence.
It is admittedly a wise stroke of
diplomacy for the entertainment com-

events. It will enable members to
avoid conflicting arrangements, an
annoying feature of last year's sea
