THE COURIER. k - i r y- " JK" X and second vice presidents of the clubs. Messages of congratulations were re ceived from two former presidents, Mm. Harford and Mrs. Ford, who were in Not York attending the ecumenical con ference. Mrs. Elia W. Feattie wan the only ox-president not present or heard from, and the club voted that greetings be sent to her in her Chicago home. The club was favored in having for its guest Mrs. Belle Stoutenborough ot Plattsmouth, who was for two terms the able president of the state federation. Mre. Smith ' then addressed the club in a few graceful, well chosen words and introduced tho gentlemen who were to speak to the club, and suggested how it, as an organization, might best serve the community. Tho church, the schools and the city were represented by Rev. Mann, Mr.Fearse.superintendentot the city schools, and Mr. Brogan of the Commercial club. Mr. Mann wa9 the first speaker; after a few genial remarks, in which he said ho regretted that, owing to circumstances over which hb bad no control, he was not qualified for membership in the Omaha Woman's club, he entered upon the subject of his discussion, which was couched in his most seriouB vein and appealed to the highest intelligence of his audibnee. He spoke of the duties ve owed to one another as social beings, and of the old natural law of every man for himself having been superceded by the greater obligation of unselfishness. "Noblesse oblige" was the keynote of his address and he said the old question, "Where is Abel, thy brother?'' cannot now be dis missed with the answer, "Am 1 my brother's keeper?" Mr. Fearse was the next speaker. He said there bad been some discussion as to how the speakers should address the club, and they decided that "fellow citizens of the Woman's club" was the correct thing. The applause that greeted his remarks showed that the right chord had been struck. He began far back in the past and traced the growth of the idea of association; first they banded themselves for protection; then they be gan to think less of their bodies and more of their souls, and the religious association was formed. Then came tb intellectual association, and, lastly, the social. He spoke strongly on the in fluence of Women's clubs upon the community and said that few agencies could accomplish as much in the way of self culture. The last speaker of the afternoon wa9 Mr. Brogan, who spoke on behalf of the Commercial club. They were too buty or too bashful to speak to five hundred women, but thought that he, being a lawyer, though he might some times be bus), would never be bashful. He said ho had made speeches on eighteenth birthdays, but this was his first attempt on a seventh birthday, and he hoped those birthdayB would not like some other birthdays he had heard of cease altogether. His plea to the women was for loyalty to Omaha and its interests, and for patronage of home industries. He said that Omaha was already a great commercial city, its banks were filled with the rich red blood of commerce and At the close of tho program tho largo audience adjourned to tho parlors whero an informal reception was held and dainty refreshments served. The table, with its large birthday cake, surrounded with lighted candles, its green and white decorations, its candies tied with green and white ribbons, was a most beauti ful sight and reflected much credit on the taste and skill of Mrs. Offutt and Miss Jessie Millard. Tho fact that tho candles numbered not seven, but many multiples of seven, seemed a pleasant bit of augury for the future prosperity of the club. After partaking of icts, birthday cake and other dainty coufec tiocs, the audience dispersed and one more notable gathering of the Omaha Woman's club was a thing of the past. 3 Suit Bargains I OOIOOMMO0OOHMO000008 Lot No. 1 Contains suits worth up for $8.25.
