J. Barnett presents the open day program. A idea for women's clubs, a miniature style , show, will be put on, following the business meet- ing of the club proper. ine ran or jyio js ine caption and Carroll R. Belden will be the stage director, furnishing fascinating garments, chapeaux and novelty accessories, as well as living models, to make the show a great success. The setting will be a handsomely-appointed library. Since no woman, club or otherwise, can with stand the '.temptation of a fashion showing, the in novation, the change from the usual run of musical numbers ami lectures will doubtless bring out the whole club membership. Not wholly frivolous, however, is the valuable time given over to raiment exhibit. It is in line with the General Federation of Women's clubs' dis cussion of the question of dress reform at the bien nial convention in New York, when Lady Duff Gor don, Beatrice Forbes Robertson and other advocates of a change in woman's manner of attire took up a large part of the Convention program. Then, too, "Food, Shelter and Raiment" is the general subject for the home economics department work this ye"ar, and so the highly important topic was chosen for the open meeting. j The diversion is especially welcomed after the strenuous work of week before last, preparing for the Syrian war sufferers' relief by means of a "flower day" sale, conducted by Woman's club members. It was a big work to engage in on such short? ad vance notice, but the club members responded will ingly and were able to raise $1,200 to add to the fund. Mrs. Thomas Brown served as chairman, and . Miss Katherine Worley, secretary of the committee. V Fervent letters of thanks have been sent to the club through the president, Mrs. E.M. Syfert, by local Syrians- in appreciation of the women's efforts. Monday is' also the day for the Vassar club's lecture on "The Spirit of Modern English Litera ture," to be given by John Cowper Powys, the Fine Arts' society lecturer of last year. Mrs. Arthur Guiou, president of the local Vassar club, will intro duce the speaker at the Brandeis theater at 4 o'clock. Box parties willte numerous and the whole lower floor has already been taken. The receipts wjll swell the Vassar college endowment fund. Omaha women who felt cheated out of a great pleasure when the Hughes Women's Alliance cam paign train steamed through Omaha Thursday, stop ping but a scant two minutes, will be interested to know 'why several of the noted women aboard the Hughes' special are for him. Here are the" testi monials of a few of them: f - i Mrs. George Harvey "I am for Hughes because he means what he says and because he has real con victions and the courage to maintain them." Frances A. Kellar "I am for Hughes because he keeps his word and makes no promises he does not fully intend to keep. No man will ever enter the White House so free from any pre-election pledges and promises as Mr. Hughes he has made none. Every issue and appointment will be decided strictly on the merits and from the standpoint of America's suidqojd Dr. Katherine B. Davis "Because I believe that the time has come for a decided strengthening of the federal government a central power as over against tne power oi ine individual siaics, jusi su far as it is possible to stretch the interpretation ot the constitution in this direction. This means the . federal interpretation rather than the Jeffersonian interpretation. Wilson had the Tatter typve ofnind Hughes, I believe, the former." Mary Antin "Among other reasons I want Mr. Hughes in Washington in order that the United States, as a whole, shall assume guardianship over the immigrants our adopted children." Mrs. William Curtis Demorest "I know Mr. Hughes well as a husband and father, and, know ing his loyalty to both, I feel he will give all the strength of his fine manhood to the interests of women ad our great country." Helen Varick Boswell "I am for Charles E. Hughes because he is the candidate of the repub lican party, which I believe has made the country what it is industrially and socially. I believe the foundation of real prosperity and peace for America is in republican victory." Rheta Childe Dorr "I'm strong for Hughes be cause of his attitude toward womenr" He gives his girls college education just as if they were boys, in stead of making 'society buds' of them. He appreci ates their power, has confidence 'n them." Elizabeth Cutting Because he will uphold the national honor as be has his personal integrity. Mrs. Maude Howe Elliott "Because he under stands, as no other leader today understands it, that the one word that can solve the riddle of the twen tieth century sphinx is. co-operation. He sees our strong country lying, like the infant Hercules in his cradle, threatened by the two dreadful serpents, Greed of Capital and Greed ot La4or. He sees this tiling, bufhe isunafraid for he knows well that .there is strength-in those hands to strangle , both venomous beasts."

Dr. Powys is said to be an indefatigable worker. He never relaxes and has little social life. It it told of him that if he enters a hotel with perhaps an hour intervening between his arrival and his next lecture, he wastes no time in resting or loitering, but goes immediately to the writing room and sets to work. His literary output is considered tremen dous. Since the time of his lecture here last March he has published four books of entirely different character. Just before his lecture here "Wooden Stones" appeared. Since that he has published a' book of poems entitled "Wolf Bane," "Rodmoor," a novel; a book of essays called "Suspended Judg ment" and a commentary on "One Hundred Best Books," which is said to be very popular in schools. Mrs. C. C. George has taken the 'first box for the Thursday evening performance. She will pre cede her box party with a dinner, Oukrainsky and Pavley will be entertained at luncheon at the Fon tenelle Thursday if they are open to social engage ments. Both artists promise to be among the most interesting persons who have visited Omaha this season. The former is a member of the Russian -nobility, a man of wealth and the owner ft a beau tiful Paris h6nte. . Summer is the visiting time for the young people.
