Student Volunteer Meet Held Soon The nattonal conference of the Stu dent Volunteer Movement, to be held ■it Indianapolis, Ind., from December 28 to January 1, was set forth by Dr. Walter Judd, president of the Student Volunteers of America, at the Monday morning convocation of the University of Omaha. The organ isation holds such a conference every four years, and gathers together thou sands of students from all parts of the country. Its purpose is to direct the attention of young people toward foreign missions. Dr. Judd said, "In my opinion the student volunteer conference is more important In bettering the conditions of the world than was the peace con ference of Versailles.” Four main addresses that will be the feature of tills year’s conference are Economic Conditions, Internation al and Political Topics. Racial Ques tions and Youth Movements, the Re naissance that dominates the far east particularly. Each college is allowed one delegate for every 100 students up to 800, then one for every 200.

Three hundred attended the first con ference In 1891. The representatives chosen at the University of Omaha are Miss Grace Winter, Instructor; Miss Pauline Nel son, Kenneth Baker and Joe Houston.

HERE'S a girl of 27 who wants to marry a boy of 22 year* even though he has been the sole support of his mother and a sister for seven years. It seems to me there Is no way out but to give up this youth. In the letter signed Anxious, the girl states that ene has been going with this young man for four years, with the understanding that In two years more they would be married. •<he adds that she has had a better •liucatlon and Is better off financially, but she doesn't care for that, she says, for they love each other. The girl's mother objects to the match. But the Ctrl gone on believing that on a little vork on her part together with what be earns that they would ~oon have i good start In life. There apparently ere a great many obstacles In the way of marriage with ills young man. The mere fact that he Is tlv.j jeara younger than the girl is not an Impassible barrier, but it means that he may not be mature -nough to take such a serious step as marriage. He may change hie view V.olnt of life before he Is 20. Both might be very unhappy together te fore the age of 30 Is reached. The fact that he Is the sole support tf the mother and sister Is an Im portant consideration. Should anyone make these two suffer through the seltieh desire for happiness? If It Is necessary that he continue toi support the mother and sister, It woiild seem out of the question to add to the young man’* burdens. A girl would not lie l.appy If she forced the man to dis loyalty to his mother and rlster. The mother's disapproval Is proba bly based upon a sane recognition of • heee facts. They are such big ob h'soles that they outweigh love, un derstanding of each other, and the happiness sought In this case. It may seem very hard to sacrifice love now but the girl will be happier If she faces t'le music no# and un derstands fully the troubles that could trlse In such a situation. Only a Friend. Dear Mia* Allen: I am 24 and hate baan going about with a girl of 1» for seven month*. I want to know Jf aba la doing right by telling me that she can only be a friend. The rea son, she tells me, is that I am only earning $J« a week. This summer she met a man making more money and thinks she will get a better bar gain by going out with him. What shall I do? ANXIOUR. There la no use phasing a girl who is looking for liargalns or good deals in the business of matrimony. She is ao mercenary that It would be best to let her go. If you are earning u small salary and even hud an oppor tunity for advancement you couldn't hold such a girl who seta her heart on wordly thing*. She would only make you unhappy If you did murry her. look for a girl who might care so much for you thnt *he would he willing to forego the luxurie*. Don’t make an effort to hold her. Put your mind on making a sucre** of your self and you'll unknowingly **»-k a better type of girl.

Ukrainian Chorus Which Sings at Auditorium December 29 / THE UKRAINIAN NATIONAL CHORUS $tfHOM EUROPEAN CRITICS REFERRED TO AS A HUMAN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA/' A HUMAN PIPE ORGAN". "MOST DISCIPLINED STRING QUARTET." 8ingers in the Ukrainian National chorus which appears at the city Auditorium on December 29 are ex pressive in two arts. Not only has their marvelous singing delighted America, but the colorful embroidery on the costumes of the women shows an equal fondness for decorative art. When an American won.an ex presses her individuality and her love of beauty, she usually does it by or ganizing culture clubs and welfare clubs, or by obtaining a bob. a smock, and a supply of paint brushes and getting busy on the furniture. The Ukrainian woman requires no more for a riot of self-expression than the old-fashioned thimble and needle ami a profusion of skeins of bright silk, scarlet, blue, orange, green and yel low. The embroidery goes upon their silk aprons, blouses and sleeves. Thelr v hite wool Cossack coats have orange frogs and bindings. Their sleeveless black velvet jackets are adorned with requlns and red velvet polnsettias. A red satin skirt, Crimson boots, and a flowered head-dress wound turban wise about the head, complete the pic turesque costume of the Ukrainian wo men, with numerous strings of bright colored beads as the finishing touch. The men are equally gorgeous in their kaftans of blue, green or brown, and white wool Cossack coats adorned with orange frogs and bindings. The women of the Ukrainian Na tional chorus embroider, almost every minute when they are not actually singing in concerts, even during re hearsals and on long train-rides. The style of her embroidery shows wheth er a Ukrainian girl has simple or lavish tastes, and the color which predominates In her work designates from which part of Ukrainia she comes. All this makes the Ukrainian chor us almost as vivid in Its appeal to the eye as to the ear, and provides the proper "atmosphere" for the singing of its colorful and picturesque native songs. Omaha Women’s Club Pictures and souvenirs collected during a 15-day trip in Alaska were shown by Mr*. Edgar Allen in illus trating her talk on that territory at the meeting of the current topics di vision of the Omaha Women's club yesterday afternoon.

For a Cleaner Omaha Ozark Lump BOYERIIAN IftiRM Lumber ■ end Mm Coe'Co Adele Garrison “My Iluftl)an<r« Love” Made*' Wm Oppressed by the l urking Menace, I stood for a minute In the opened door, motionless, listening, with the sense of something sinister lurking just out of my s ght. Hut there wae no sign of life anywhere, and when the apartment door opposite mine opened and a group of people in eve ning dress came out laughing and chatting gaily, 1 hastily shut the door I wris holding open and retreated Into my own living room. I gave a mental salute to my sister-in-law. She had not stirred from her seat, and her voice was low and composed, al though her eyes, intent, alert, showed that she had shared my alarm. Madge Doesn't Know. “What did you see?" she asked Qu'etly, with a wary eye upon the bedroom door, from which came th« laughing voices of Dicky and Edwin I recognized her thought and shared ! It. Tf either man knew of the ludi- i vidual who had lurked, eavesdrop- j ping, he would go storming In pur suit. risking either a shot, If the intruder had s nlster Intent, or a ludi crously futile fuss If. as I mo^e than half suspected, the espionage origin ated from the childish curiosity of the Marks family in the rear rooms of the apartment we were compelled to share with them. "I don't know," 1 returned slowly. "1 just caught a glimpse of a waving dark garment aa the door slammed. My Impression is that it waa heavy cloth. but whether It was a man's overcoat or a woman's cloak. I have! not the sl ghtest idea.” "What made you think there was something there?" "The upper part of the door i» of shaded glass," I returned, “and I chanced to see the fleeting shadow of a hand which the eavesdropper was incautious enough to lift." ''You are quick-witted." she said meditatively, "but a bit rash to rush nut like that. If you had caught the man I assume It was a man—in the act, he might have turned ugly.” "I am not sure It was a man," I returned slowly, and then I told her of the Inordinate curiosity of my neighbor, Mr*. Mark*, and of her habit of watching vlultor* to the apartment house through the aper ture In the great upper hall window. The >len App* “I should think she'd bear watch ing," Harriet commented, and then «he claaped her quaint amber and^ — lade necklace with protecting fingers "I'm glad I'm wearing these,” she said meffltatlvely. "So am I," I assented, "although I really don't believe we're In any danger of thieves But what have you left In your room?" "Nothing which would bankrupt me If it were stolen.” she smiled. "Be sides aa long as these thing* are not In It I'm perfectly willing to.t»*t the security of my specially made bag. Hush!" The warning was not needed. I had seen th“ opening of the door Into the bedroom and stilled the answer on my tongue. Dicky and Edwin came out, and I think my face reflected the wifely pride which I aaw in Har riet's. They were as personable men as on» could wish to see, and for the minute I forgot the rancor which lingered !n n\v heart aga'nst Dicky In my admiration of his good look* and manly hearing. "Well! Here we are!" Dicky struck an absurd attitude "Are our tie# on straight, snd our hair brushed prop* elv?
