Woman’s Club
; Meets
Next Convention at Grand
Island; Dr. Bailey Speaks of
New Tendencies in
Religion.
Announcement was made at the
Omha Woman’s club meeting Monday
afternoon that the next convention of
the Nebraska Federation of Women's
clubs will be held In Grand Island.
"Grand Island has never been hostess
to the state meeting and has the ad
vantage of being centrally located,"
said Mrs. O. Y. Kring.
Reports were given at Monday's ses
sion held In the Burgess Nash Audi*
torluni. on the state meeting of last
week held in Beatrice. Mrs. S. R.
McKelvy discussed legislative matters
presented to the state delegates.
Mrs. F. H. t'ole presented the educa
tional side of state club work and
Mrs. 11. J. Holmes reviewed the ad
dress of the state president, Mrs. Ed
gar Penny, now retired. Mrs. O. Y.
Kring gave a general report of the
meeting, discussing especially the
matter of redistricting the state and
the appointment of an executive sec
retary.
‘‘Redistr'etlng has been postponed,"
said Mrs. Kring. "The clubs will not
redistrict for a time, hoping that the
congressional districts will lend the
way." The present objection to dis
tr cts is that the sixth is too large for
satisfactory club work.
Regarding the appointment of an
executive secretary, Mrs. Kring said
one would be appointed by the state
hoard at a salary not to exceed $1,200
a year.
Dr. Ralph Bailey of the First Uni
tarian church gave the talk of the
afternoon on "Modern Tendencies in
Religion.” He said the tendencies
aref~.
1. Disposition to stress activities
rather than reflection.
"Religiously, we are a generation of
Marthas, cumbered about much serv
ing and careless ttr^ieek the sweetness
and light from whatever truth may be
at the heart of the universe.”
2. Sure and rumulative trend to
ward triumph of the spirit of friendli
ness.
"This deserves our unqualified ap
proval," said the speaker. "Religious
persecution in all the forms in which
history has knojvn it, are mostly in
the past. They grow less and less.
A large part of the antipathies giving
rise to mob violence can be traced to
other provocations."
3. Tend' ncy to discover and repre
hend new sins.
"There is a new moral code, some
say,” the speaker continued. "But I
say it is an extended application of
the old principles of righteousness.
We live in a different social order
and have an enlarging conscience."
4. Effort on the part of the present
religious world to enlarge the scope
of the ministry of salvation.
"Tile new salvation tends to save
people from their ailments. Wherever
we find a church which offers to heal,
great crowds attend the ministry.
There is, then, this ministry of feel
ing, having the psychological ten
dency."
5. Growing tendency of organized
religion through and against social
and economic conditions in the in
terest of more abundant life for the
people.
"The church Is helping to create a
public conscience: It has a vision of a
better world and is co-operating with
social service agenci s, bringing to
gether the collective forces of recon
struction."

Wife’s Terrible Temper May Separate
Them, She Fears
By MARTHA ALLEN.
Dear Miss Allen: 1 have never writ
ten to you before, but always read
your splendid advice to others, so have
decided to come to you with my trou
ble.
I'm married, and I love my husband
as much as any human can love, and
he says he loves me the same. We
are both in our early 20s, he being
two years my senior. We have been
rtiarried only a little over nine months.
He is a good provider and is good
to me, but the trouble Is this: I have
a terrible temper when I get mad.
I’ve tried, oh, so hard, to overcome
It, and I really believe I have to a
great extent; and when I do get angry
I say and do things' I’m' sorry for
afterwards, but that don't help mut
ters after It is done, and he says he
loves mo just the same. But where I
blame him is when an argument starts
he keeps it up instead of dropping it.
And one word leads to another until
my temper gets away with me. And
then my nerves give way and 1 start
to cry. I can't help it, and then he
gets mad when I cry and starts scold
ing.
Now, who do think is to blame?
I’ve always taken the blame for
everything, but really, right down In
my heart. I don't feel like it's all my
fault. This may sound silly, but It
certainly isn't. We can't live this way
all our lives, but I'd rather be deail
than lose him.
I hope to see my letter in The Oma
ha Bee soon and will accept your ad
vice, no matter what it is.
"BROWN EYES."
You must iearn to control your tern
per if you expect to find happiness.
It will be hard at first, but you are
bound to succeed if you make up your 1
mind to conquer it. A bad temper
not only makes us unhappy, but af
fect the health as well, causing head
aches, Indigestion, nervousness, etc.
I read a very interesting book by
O. S. Mnrden called "Peace. Power
and Plenty," and learned some start
ling facts about a bad temper. If
you can get a copy of it at the library
I would advise you to read it care
fully. Perhaps if you can make your
husband sec how hard you are trying
to conquer this falling lie will make
an effort to help you. It would be
better, of course, if he didn't argue
with you, but perhaps he, too, has as
hard a time ns you do in controlling
his temper. It looks to me as if you
were both to hlame.

“My Husband's Love”
Dinner Over, Dicky Took Marion Out
for a Lark,
With a. satisfied air Picky glanced
around our improvised dinner table of
which - Lillian had made so lovely a
Ihing. That lie lmd enjoyed every l>it
of the home dinner 1 had prepared
for our guests against his protests, I
was sure, and I knew something else
also, that he was distinctly proud of
me for having accomplished what he
deemed the insuperable task of serv
ing a creditable dinner in such
cramped quarters as our tiny apart
ment.
"Pishes first, I imagine,” said Har
riet Braithwaite practically, "with us
ail helping."
"I’m the ninth assistant Secretary
of the Pish Washers’ union," Picky
drawled, ’’but I don't see what's the
rush.”
"If you were out on the farm,
we’d show you, Plcky-bird,” Lillian
retorted, and 1 saw my stately sis
ter in-law iool^ up quickly at the
nickname which Lillian has used for
so many years that it has become
automatic ivith her. Relic of Picky's
art student days when he was one
of a little clique to whom Lillian
was sister, comrade and adviser, the
sobriquet never has been allowed to
perish by his friends. That it of
fended Harriet’s fastidious taste, I
knew, but aside from the startled
glance, she betrayed her feeling in
no other way.
"It's a lucky thing for you the
kitchen is so small,” Lillian went
on. "More than two people in that
kitchen would fall over each other’s
feet, to say nothing of the dishes.
So on behalf of our friend and host

after-dinner speaker—“I thank Mrs.
Braithwaite for her suggestion, cen
sure our host for his indolence,
which, however, Is constitutional, so
he ought not to he bamed for It.
and announce that Mrs. Graham and
l will attend to the dishes after
awhile at our leisure. Thanks to the
clever management of our hostess,
there's nothing left but the dessert
plates, and Marlon will clear those
away and take them to the kitchen.”
She smiled at her winsome young
daughter, who already was carrying
out. her implied command, and I rose
with a quiet signal to Dicky to get
the chairs away from the table.
“As for me," Dr. Braithwaite said,
with i» contented smile, settling him
self in an armchair, "I shan't be
able to move for a few minutes.
Then I must get the Durkees on the
telephone and arrange to go out there
In the morning, and then—bed for us
as soon ns possible. We shall have
a hard day tomorrow.”
“Well, then,” Dicky began, “I
shan’t he inhospitable if I voice a
desire which has been clutching at
my heart ever since 5 o'clock.” He
gave Marlon a languishing, killing
glance and Lillian's small daughter
giggled delightedly. “I wish to show
my young friend here the lights of
Broadway so that she will be proper
ly warned against them, and then
escort her to a certain playhouse for
the improvement of her mind.”
He crossed to Lillian, dropped on
one knee in an exaggerteed, mirth
provoking posture.
“Oh, Queen,” he began, grandilo
quently, then suddeny dropping to
a rough, colloquial tone. "Say,
Queen, how about It? You know you

Lillian Interrupted, "and with that

my rules about late hours for once,
unless Marlon is too tired to go.”
Her face was perfectly serious as
she finished, and we all spouted with
laughter at the delighted child's fer
vent response.
“Too tired! Oh, Mother!"
“Come along, Marion, before she
changes her mind.”
"Just a minute!” Lillian looked
her young daughter over, pulled a
plait of her dress in place here,
smoothed a refractory curl. Some
time during the table-setting period
she had put Marion into a dainty
frock suitable for the evening, and
the child was a most attractive pic
lure With her winsome fare and eyes
starry with excited anticipation.
"Get your cloak and hat and run
along with Undo Dicky now." she
said, kissing the child fondly, and
in another mlnuto Dicky was es
corting the little girl downstairs
with the air of one spreading a cloak
before a royal personage. Edwin

the door hid her from sight, and then
he gave an unconscious sigh. If
