clubs. at last. have come into their own.
OF course to club members the meetings are
always important and are given first at
tsntion, but It is only In the Lenten sea-
son that clubs dominate the calendar They
do this week The announcements OF en-
tertainmonts are chiefly for the club gath
erinRs. the informal afternoon and for the
charity benefit.

The bridge dinner, which is to be given
at the Omaha club Tuesday evening for
the members and their guests is one Of
the weeks most interesting announce
ments. Dinner will be served in the large
dining room and will be followed by an
evening Of bridge in the card rooms. This
is the first subscription dinner Of the sea-
son and is proving exceedingly popular.
Picasurable anticipation is aroused by
the announcement that Mrs. Myron
Learned will give recital of ballads and
children's songs in benefit of the Visiting
Nurses association. Mrs. Learned sang r
number Of these songs at the successful
"Childrens entertainments" last fall and
they we're then greatly enjoyed. The recital
Is to be given at her home, 22S2 Sherman
avenue, Saturday afternoon at o'clock.
The fact that the program will include
several Of Mrs. Learned's compositions
adds to its interest The story Of the pro-
gram as 1t Is told by the names Of the
songs 70 be included, is: when Stars Are
in the Quiet Skies" "Bendemeers Stream"
(Alfred Scott Gatty); Dreams" canton

In foreign countries Omaha people are
finding the outdoor life offers serious
rivalry to any ADJUSTMENTS furnished by
the social calendar" The sojourners who
are finding most Joy in the outdoor events
are moreover, not in the summer cimes,
but are where winter rules" even longer
than It does in this part of the world.
Mr. and Mrs Luther l., Kountze. who
have been spending the winter in Munich,
Germany. have ben thoroughly enjoying
the winter there. They expect to sail from
Bremen April 10. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Kountze are athletic and have been en-
Toying the winter sports, skiing, skating

ing numerous novel experiences to the
officers and ladies Of the sixteenth in
fantry, who are now stationed there

his appreciation OF the Alaskan sports by
purchasing the team OF eighteen swift
racing dogs which recently won the Alas
kan sweepstakes. Captain and Mrs. Grim

\ Shrove Tuesday wedding which is OF
interest to all Omahans who visit the Pa
cifio coast because II united two of Cali
fornas best known and wealthiest FAINT
lies was the wedding OF Miss Helene irwin
to Mr.. Templeton Croker, which wa,
celebrated in san Francisco.
The financial aspect OF the alliance
rather overshadows the social signflcanc
and is emphasized by the size Of tn
check which was the fathers gift to IN,
bride. She had received motor cars
country home, and rather an overwhelm
ing lot OF jewels from other relatives, 81
her father contented himself by present
ing her with a million dollar check. Tn,
ceremonial was consonant in elegance will
the regality OF the gifts showered upoI
the bride, and is said 10 have surpasse,
any similar event celebrated In san Fran
cisco In recent years.
