Not long ago we heard a yoman express the wish that she might go to some far distant land or desert island where she would hear nothing bout the war. We would recommend South America. Mrs. Bernard E. Tombrink, who came home this week after passing a year there, says that one hears hardly a word about the war in Buenos Aires. Now and then there is some comment about the high cost of living, but aside from that the people go about their busi ness just as usual, seemingly oblivious to the fact that practically the whole world is engaged in the conflict. Mr. and Mrs. -Tombrink lived in a small town 50 miles from the capital city. It is an old Spanish town and they were the only Americans there. The houses are nearly all of the Spanish type with all the rooms open ing on the patio. The houses have no heating plants and the few who have fireplaces are considered very fortanate. Although the winters are not nearly as cold as ours, there is a damp chill in the air that is very pen etrating. The South Americans do not seem to mind, however. They eat in their furs and if the cold be comes too extreme they go to bed to keep warm. A wonderful amusement park, much like the White City in Chicago, called the Japanese Garden, js an attraction of Buenos Aires. The houses are all of the Japanese type of architecture and with the queer lanterns shedding their soft light on the grounds, the sunken gardens and artistic tea houses it is quite like a bit of quaint old Japan. Buenos Aires is a great fashion and social center. No business man would think of working all afternoon; he must stop and have his cup of tea. Every evening finds a brilliant crowd at the hotels and clubs, and luncheons and card parties fill the days.1 Mr. and Mrs. Tombrink often went up for ' the week-end, arriving on Saturday evening in time for the dinner-dance at one of the hotels. In the secluded little village where they lived only outdoor sports broke the monotony of the days. ' Mrs. Tombrink is a sister of Miss Mary Coll. .m ii.. .1 At the Prettiest Mile Club.

Dr. Palleser was formerly a member of Vassaj college faculty and was one of the first two women physicians ever named on the staff of Bellevue hospi tal in New York City. ' She visited her sister in Omaha for a few days less than two years ago. Society Girls Ask Funds for Red Star Animal Relief A band of Red Star animal relief workers invaded the South Side stock yards this morning. They were un der the command of four former Ak-Sar-Ben queans and Everett Buck ingham acted as guide. Among the girls who appealed to the stock men for aid in this drive were Misses Har riet Smith, Hazel Updike, Marjorie Howland, Helene Bixby, Janet and Dorothy Hall, Ellen Creightoh, Grace Allison and Helen Murphy. "Help the horse to help U.S." is the Red Star motto. On the western front' alone, there are 5,000,000 mules and horses. They travel through shell-furrowed fields, wade through lakes of mud, often under heavy fire, right up to the front trenches. The horse in the war rone is valu able beyond computation. He is Cared for by the Red Star in the same way in which the Red Cross cares for the welfare of soldiers. To accomplish the relief work need ed at the front the United States must raise $250,000 at once. Lovers of horses .everywhere in America , are active in getting., this sum 'for the benefit of army horses both for their own sake and to help our soldiers win the war, . : . .
