First of Season's Debutantes in Omaha is a Real
Enthusiast for Life and Action in the Sunshine
OLDING but one meeting, yet accomplish
ing splendid results during the year, is
the -Omaha branch df the ' Needlework
Guild of America, which has its annual
display and distribution, of garments, un
derwear, layettes, table linen, bed linen,
nightgowns, comforters in fact, all necessities of
this sort, Wednesday and Thursday of this week
, at Jacobs' Memorial hall. A loose organization, yes,
but its .members do loyal service and stand as one
woman, so far as good work is concerned.
Every year thousands of new, fresh garments
and linens are collected by the Needlework guild
and distributed to needy families and institutions.
The greatest number ever collected by the local
guild in one year was about 5,000 garments, but this
year 3,750 is the estimated number. Some ot the
women have been meeting in small groups at 'fre
quent intervals throughout the last year sewing on
garments for this collection.
Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock a business
meeting and election of officers 'will take place.
Whether or not the guild will co-operate with the
Franco-Belgian Relief society as a body will be dis
cussed, but many of the members individually have
already been doing great service in that organiza
tion. The Needlework guild has been co-operating
with the Red Cross society since the outbreak of
the war. Thursday afternoon there will be a recepr
tion and the collection will be viewed prior-to its
distribution.
Mrs. J. J. Stubbs is president, Mrs. Milton B.
Newman is vice president, Mrs. W. W. Carmichael
secretary, and Mrs, George J. Henderson treasurer
of the guilt). ' ' - '' '
Mrs. Percy 1. Pennybacker, the last president of
the -Seneral Federation of Women's Clubs, it was
who urged bringing younger women-or daughters
of club members into the ranks. Infusion of new
blood, she urged, would be of inestimable value.
Mrs. Mary I. Creigh, vice president of the Omaha
Woman's club, probably had this in mind when she
advocated a "mothers and daughters'" day at last
week's meeting of the club. Such a day will be ar.
ranged in the near future.
So far as known there are sixteen mothers whose
daughters have already joined the Woman's club.
One, Mrs. David Belsley, has two daughters en
rolled, the Misses May and Evaline. They are as
follows: Mrs. F. B. Bryant, Miss Marjorie Bryant;
Mrs. K. R. J. Edholm, Miss Camilla Edholm; Mrs.
C. L. Hempel, Miss Hazel Hempel; Mis. F. A.
Howard, Miss Lola Howard; Mrs. Edward Phelan,
Miss Helen Phelan; Mrs. James Liddell, Mrs. J. E.
Pulver; Mrs. Frank Schnetz, Mrs. Everett Sjolspart;
Mrs. August Specht, Mrs. O. W. Malstroin; Mrs.
W. E. Allis, Mrs. Jerome Ljllie; Mrs. Esther Allen,
Mrs. F. J. Birss; Mrs. Thomas Brown, Miss Dorothy
Brown, Mrs. Lois Cochrane, Mrs. Franklin A. Shot
well; Mrs. T. R. Ward, Miss Edith Ward, and Mrs.
J. W. Bedford, Mrs. Stella Bedford Wilson. The
mother of Mrs. Frank L. Hajler, Mrs. Caroline N.
Lininger, is an hbnorary member of the club.

T
HE ELECTION of a president of the
United States is quite enough excitement
to occupy one small week. Every club,
every theater, every movie house, almost
every public place is making plana to com-
. municate election returns to its patrons.
' Where returns are there will society be also, you
may know, for women must not stand on the streets
.in, the midst of a howling, seething election mob.
Therefore, out of deference to the fair sex, the gen
tlemen all will go to the Omaha club or one of the
. various places of amusement where returns will be
- received Jo while away the exciting moments before
we learn that our next president will be Charles
Evans Hughes.
The dullest play will be stimulating that evening,
, the stupidest dance partner will be thrillingly in
teresting, because the biggest excitement of four
years will be In the air. Americans could not get
into a rut if they tried, could they, because frequent
upheavals are ordained in their scheme of life.
Mr., and Mrs. A. L. Reed will entertain at the
Orpheum, where they will have fourteen guests in
two boxes. Mr. Luther Drake will have a party.
TheRotary club will hear returns at the Brandeis
theater and may dance on the stage if they desire.
Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Foye will have a party of eight
at the Orpheum, as will also Judge and Mrs. W. D.
McHugh, Mr. and Mrs G. T. Porter and Mr. and
y Mrs. A. J. McMann. Dr. Leroy Crummer will have
a party of seven. W. F. Harris will have ten guests
and Miss N. Riley will have ten. (
Our next society bride, Miss Isabel Vinsonhaler,
is coming in for her share of attention this week.
Miss Mary Van Kleeck of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., is
the only member of her bridal party who has yet
arrived. Mr. Julian Thompson of Barnesville, Wis.,
' a Yale classmate of Mr. John Caldwell, the gentle
man in the case, who is to act as one of the ushers,
will arrive the first of the week to share in some of
the festivities. Luncheons, dinners, theater and
supper parties will follow one another in close suc
cession concluding with the bridal dinner which
Mr. and Mrs. Duncan M. Vinsonhaler give for the
wedding party at the Blackstone a week from Mon
day eveningwhich has the distinction of being the
first bridal dinner to be given in that new hotel.
Two colleges will have alumni dinners in Omaha
this week. The University of Chicago alumni, who
will be in town for the Nebraska Teachers' conven
tion the last of the week have planned a rousing
dinner at the University club Thursday evening.
Their big attraction will be Mr. Phil Allen of their
Hniversity's German department, who is to be im
ported from the Windy City especially for. the
ocaasion. ' ;- -
Friday evening the Bcllevue college alumni who
are in town for the same event will meet at teachers'
headquarters at the Rome for dinner in the large
parlors. Their dinner last year at the University
club proved so successful that this year's event fol
lowed. First of the debutante affairs is Mrs. E. W.
Dixon's tea of Thursday afternoon when Miss
Carita O'Brien, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. J.
O'Brien, makes her bow to society. Miss O'Brien
is a versatile out-of-doors' girl. She swims, she
rows, she plays golf, she rides iorseback, she drives
her own car, but dearest to her heart of all the
sports, is tennis. Miss Q'Brien wields the racquet
like a tennis professional, with great skill and dex
terity and while she has not played much in Omaha
because she has been away at school, for the most
part, this week's debutante will be a formidable
opponent in next summer's tennis tournament, it is
opined. '
Miss O'Brien is a graduate of the Sacred Heart
academy at Manhattanville, N. Y where Miss
Grace Allison also attended, but, prior to that she
was a student at St. Mary's college at Notre Dame.
While devoted to the great out-of-doors and alt
the sports which make it so enjoyable, Mis O'Brien
is mistress 'of the social graces as well. She plays
the piano, she dances and she has a charm and'Uig-
iraiy iM-iiiaiuiti aciuum mot in younger gins inese
days. Miss O'Brien is of the blonde type with blue
eyes and splendid coloring. '
