WOMEN'S activities for the winter season may truly be said to be in full swing, since the lecture series of the Omaha Society of Fine arts begins this week; : the Drama league lecture course has already begun, and quite soon the Vas sal club brings John Cowper Powys to Omaha to say nothing of the splendid treats in store for us through the good offices, of the Tuesday Morning Musical duo. , ;. ; N Savoring strongly of interest m the political, too, are the plans of Omaha women to join with the men in receiving Mr. and Mrs. Charles Evans Hughes on Monday and their own arrangements to entertain the Hughes Women's Alliance train, bearing noted women speakers,' later in the month. i Charles H. Caffin, New York author, critic and lecturer, will open the Fine Arts series by giving three lectures this week, Thursday, Friday and Sat urday at 3:45 p. m. at the Hotel Fontenelle. "Art for Life's Sake, "How the Dutch of the Seventeenth Century Created a New Nation and a New Art." and "Wnat Have Pictures to Do With Life?" a talk-particularly for children, are the subjects of his dis courses. By birth an Englishman, a graduate of Ox ford, 'Mr. Caffin has had a most interesting career. He taught school for awhile and then went on the " stage, appearing with the Ben Greet Players in old comedierturing the regular season and in the sum mer touring the gardens and parks of England with open-air performances of Shakespeare. He is now art editor of the New York American and critic for the Evening Post, Sun and Harper's Weekly. Prof. Stockton Astson, a brother of the first Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, comes November 18, and James P. Haney November 22, to lecture for the Fine Arts society. ' " Another event of interest will take place Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock, when the Daughters of 1812 will unveil a memorial bench to the organizer of the .Nebraska chapter. Nettie Collins Gates, at Turner park and the boulevard. Mrs. J. J. Stubbs, the presi uent, announces tne presentation exercises as fol lows: Mrs. George B. Darr will present the me morial to the city, after which it will be accepted for Omaha by Mayor James C. Dahlman. Mrs. W. L. Selby and Mrs. William Archibald Smith will un veil te memorial. Judge Arthur Wakeley will speak . and Dean James A, Tancock will offer the opening p i ar . e uenemction. There will( alsp be a , salute to the flag. .r The bench is of Vermont granite, five feet. loni?. twenty-two inches wide and eighteen inches high. The top bears the insignia of the society and the in scription, "In Memoriam, Nettie Collins Gates, erected 1916, Nebraska Society United States Daugh ters of 1812." . Vassar club is sponsoring a lecture by till bril- : Hant John Cowper Powys, who came here last year under the auspices of the Fine Arts society and ere- ated such a furore. It would not be amiss to say i that Omaha is still divided between Powys' enthusi asts and Powvs scoffers. Be tKit as it may. a'mem ber of the college club has confided that the advance seat sale for the lecture at the Brandeis theater Mon-"" dey, October 30, at 4 o'clock is decidedly brisk. Mr. Powys will speak on "The Spirit of Modern English Literature." The lecture is being promoted for the benefit of the Vassar college endowment fund. Russian dancers will provide a welcome diversion from the lectures the first week in November, being p-es'rd to t1 lorl nu'ic by the Tuesday Morn ing Musical club. It is the Andreas Pavley Serge Ouicrainsxy baiiet, assisted by .Miss Margaret Jar- man and a complete company of dancers and sym phony orchestra, one of theViost pretentious per- lormances yet ottered by he local musical club.

Opening of charity concert course at Audi torium. - IF OMAHA society ever looked forward to a somewhat dull season, it certainly is not this year. The musical and theatrical attractions which are booked with us, in fact ate, already . here, would keep society busy almost all of its precious time without allowing any for the in-' ; evitable round of breakfasts, luncheons, teas, din-, ncrs and suppers which intersperse the charity work, shopping, bridge parties, receptions and danc ing affairs which rival the perennial poor. This' week we have had an opportunity to hobnob with' celebrity. Mr. Gulzon Borglum, the famous sculptor,' ' was not, like the prophets, without honor in his own couiury, but was welcomed by the elite of our city' while he paid his short visit to his brothers, Mr. A., S. Borglum and Mr. A. M. Borglum, and his sister,0 Mrs. Alfred Dsr!ow. Everyone was delighted with his addresses and his charming, unconventional per sonality. "V - The opera "Martha" at the Brandeis theater Fri " day and Saturday was the first of the season's musi . oaf offerings which interested many society people. The coming of the Ellis Grand Opera company . the last of this week is being hailed with joy by all. music lovers.' " f ' - ' The Chirity Concert (course , is proving more popular than ever before this year. The first two numbers of the course, which are much heralded,, ire the operas on Monday and Tuesday of next week. Boxholders for these'events ars announced today for the first time. The names on the list are Mr. and Mrs. Charles Thomas Kountze, Mr. and Mrs. A. L.,Reed, Mr. and Mrs. Louis C. Nash, Mr. and Mrs. George Brandeis, Dr. and Mrs. H. E.

It will be in the form of a dancing party at the Hotel Fontenelle on November 16.. There are some other: . members of the younger set who will make their entrance into society at a formal party this winter, but as many more are waiving the formality of such a function and will both remain at home during the; season and appear in society. Miss Carita O'Brien is the second debutante whose plans have been made public, although her party precedes that of Miss Connell. She will be presented at a tea given by Mrs. E. W. Dixon from 4 to 6 on the afternoon of Thursday, November 13. Another charming wedding with a beautiful and popular girl of our city as the bride will take place this week. Miss Louise Bedwell, who had the honor of being voted one of the three most beautiful girls in the state university, when she was a student there, will become the bride of Mr. Eugene Holland of Lincoln Satuday evening. Not only was Miss Bed well beautiful, but she earned the Phi Beta Kappa key for scholarship, an honor which few attain. She is a popular member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and affairs have been given for" her by members of the sorority for several weeks. ' Her attendants will be her sister, Miss Charlotte Bedwell, maid-of-honor, and Miss Marjorie Foote, bridesmaid, Mr. Lawrence Holland will be his brother's attendant. Several social clubs will resume their meetings ' this week. On Monday, Mrs. Charles T. Kountze will entertain the Original Monday Bridge club." The same day Mrs. Harold- Sobotker will entertain the members' of the New Monday Bridge club. The Original Cooking club will have its next meeting in two weeks on Wednesday at the home of Mrs. VV, H. Wheeler. - . , . The Amateur Musical club is planning to reor ganize. The death of Mrs. H. P. Whitmore was a blow struck at the club's activity, for she was the moving spirit among them. It was she, who first suggested the club and who worked most energet ically to keep the interest unflagging and the mem bers active. A little later the members hope to get together again to resume their interesting work. The Friday. Bridge' club, composed of members of the younger set, is another club which has not yet begun its season's pleasure. Visitors and wed-, dings nd journeyings have kept them all occupied" until now, when they are beginning to think about resuming their meetings. A charming guest is coming to visit two members of the club this week. Miss Anita Carrington of Minneapolis is expected to arrive Wednesday, to spend some time with the Misses Meliora and Elizabeth Davis. The initial affair of her visit will be given Wednesday evening at the F. H. Davis home. V The Misses Mack of Buffalo are two of the most ciiar riing and popular guests who have visited Onii.li'. for a long time) Affairs have been given every day in their honor, with the large dancing party at the Metz home Friday evening s a climax , lo me -week's gayety. Reports say that it was ont of tl.c most attractive events of the early fall. AiMittanal Sneietv Nwon Net Pans
