about it, any day can be tag day for generous and
charitable person As was saying, however we
have been virtuous, what will we do nextf
We are gradually passing the in-between season
and launching out onto the sea of social deeds If
you are club woman Of any kind, literary, art,
musical or social you are beginning to plan for your
winter season and arranging for your opening meet
ing. The announcement of the Tuesday Morning
Musical clubs program for the year one of the
most interesting notices of the week. The commit
tee has secured remarkably good program Of local
artists as we'll as foreign talent.
The Society Of Fine Arts is planning to hold our
attention with its programs of famous persons The
treats which are in store for us because OF their Ell
forts make ones dreams happy after SO much
mediocre art
But | seem to be usurping the field of the club
editor, crime which must never commit Let me
state for the purpose of generating myself that So
ciety is responsible for these activities they
some of its most vital interests. This is of the
things which follows after sweet charity.
The school set is beginning to leave us. The
state university young people going first because
they need have fear Of inantile paralysis or rail
road strikes or any other alarms. Perhaps the fact
that their school opens earlier than some eastern
schools is partly responsible for their early depar-
ture.. One prominent mother said to me the other

Is the Ak-Sar- Ben ball. which draws near by leaps
and bounds. Do you realize that it is less than four
weeks awayi Truth because ! just counted.
Wouldn't it be heavenly if every maid and matron

would have her gown all in mind week before the
event Then no one need worry her head about any
thing in the world.
The marriage of Miss Alice Woodwork to Mr.
George Kiewt will take place Friday of this week
Several pre-nuptia affairs have been given and will
be given in her honor. Miss Louise Bedwell has
added the latest October wedding to Our calendars
for she will be united in marriage with Mr.. Eugene
Holland Of Lincoln on October H.
Early in the month, to be exact, on October s.
will occur the marriage Of charming young woman
of our city to young Chicago doctor. The notice
has just reached us that Mr.. and Mrs. John L. Nc
Cague announce the engagement of their daughter,
Mary, to Dr. Charles Anderson Aldrich Of Win
netka, III. The young physician is a graduate Of
the medical school of Northwestern university and
is now located at Winnetka, ny far from Chicago

romantic college friendship, for the young people
met while attending Northwestern university. DR..
Aldrich is member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity
and Miss McCague is well known Alpha Phi.
The wedding will be small home event. with
only relatives and few intimate friends present.
A sure sign of the changing season is the in
creased gayety at the country clubs. The first Of
the season it was novelty to get out to your
favorite club, but during the warm weather every
one except the young people attended dinners and
dances rather perfunctorily Now, as if to make
amends for past neglect and in order to achieve
grand finale, hosts and hostesses inviting large
parties to make merry with them. Several large
parties were to be at the Country club last
evening and an unusually large number of members
attended, IFS or $50 in all.
Changes have been necessitated in the wedding
party of Miss Lucille Bacon by death in the Elliott
family Of Des Moines. Three members Of that fam
lily will be unable to fill their places in the nuptal
arrangements.
Miss Alice Jacquith is still keeping the identity
of her party secret, fearing to weary her friends
with oft-repeated details For both Of these young
women parties will soon be given and the farewell
festivities will abound
