    Peace Address
Is Not Expected
to Bring Results
Omaha ns Praise Eloquence of
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt,
but Are Doubtful of Or
ganized Campaign.
Will Omaha women take up the
challenge to a "‘woman’* crusade for
peace” flung down Tuesday night by
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt In her lec
ture on "War or Peace, What Are
i We Going to Do About It?”
Mrs. Catt definitely put the re
sponsibility upon the women to de
a constructive program for
world peace from the Amelrcan gov
ernment, and to keep at work until
they get It. While she advocated no
new organization for this end, and
made no specific demands of exist
ing organizations, she left it In the
hands of the local women to take or
leave her challenge.
Omaha club leaders were unanimous
Tuesday in praising Mrs. Catt's
eloquence and expressing their inter
est in her speech. As to what local
practical results are likely to follow
from her call to a local peace crusade
they are more doubtful.
Organization Not Probable.
An urgent wish that Omaha women
might respond by an organized and
concerted effort for world peace was
expressed by such women leaders as
t Mrs. H. C. Sumney, Mrs. John Sebree,
'i Mrs. Halleck Rose, Mrs. Carrie A.
Campbell, and Mrs. H. C. Bailey, al
though they admitted no great confi
dence that such results would follow.
Others, like Mrs. Draper Smth,
Charles E. Johannes, and Mrs. C. J.
Horn, while expressing more or less
general agreement with Mrs. Catt's
Ideas, pointed to the peace work al
ready endorsed by the various worn
en’a organizations as evidence that the
women are already thinking along
such lines and are doing all that can
reasonably be expected of them. One
or two took lssuo with some of Mrs.
Catt's policies. •
The presidents of Omaha's two
most influential women's clvlo or
ganizations were enthusiastic about
the address, but noncommittal about
the ‘‘crusade.” Mrs. Phillip Potter,
president of the Woman's club,
pointed out that world peace was one
of the first subjects taken up at the
last national convention of the
Woman's clubs In Atlanta, and that
a peace program had been adopted
there. Whether the Women’s League
of Voters took up the issue any fur
ther than they have already done,
said Mrs. R. E. McKelvy, president,
will depend upon the wishes of Its
members.
Speech Was Thrilling.
“It was a wonderfully thrilling
speech,” commended Mrs. Sumney. “I
wish every man and woman of hu
man intelligence in Umaha could have
heard it. Whether any practical con
sequences will follow Is beyond me.
There is so much confused thinking
In the world, so much willingness to
drift, that It is hard to tell. But,
there should be some practical
response from the women to so great
a call to battle for peace.”
"In challenging women to action
for universal peace," comments Mrs.
Halleck Rose. “Mrs. Catt nor only
tecognlzes the added responsibility
participation in politics has given
woman, but sees in her very nature
the reasons why she must oppose
war. Mothers have paid a high
price to construct the man power
wasted in war. They deny Its return.
A time has arrived when, as Mrs.
Cstt said, women ‘may’ co-operats
with men in abolishing war. I do
not believe the women can do It
alone. But I hope Mrs. Catt’s sug
gestion may result in organized ef
fort for peace among Omaha women.’’
Agree* With Program.
Mra. Carrie A. Campbell, general
secretary of the Y. W. C. A., said the
address “made her feel like being a
shouting Methodist," in order to ex
press her complete agreement. There
absolutely should be a practical re
sponse to the feminist leaders' appeal,
•ho admitted, but she feared that
many are too apathetic. Mrs. Camp
bell explained that the Y. W. C. A.
endorsed a definite peace program at
its national convention In Hot
8prlngs, Ark., and that It has a na
tional legislative committee which
keeps the local chapter Informed
about developments looking toward
world peace. Local chapters are In
structed to cooperate in every pos
sible way with any recognized peace
movement.
“Mrs. Catt is the only speaker, man
or woman, who has the courage to
tell ns what la the matter with us,"
declared Mrs. H. J. Bailey. As for
a follow-up, she was not sure. The
League of Women Voters was the
natural organization to pick up the
challenge, but she did not know
whether It could In Omaha.
Mrs. John Sebree hoped the Oma
ha Woman's club would take up the
problem. She expressed herself as
"perfectly charmed” with the speak
er, and felt that giving women some
thing they could do for men was the
strongest point made by Mrs. Catt.
Too Much Organization.
The women are “organized to death,
complained Mrs. Draper Smith, al
though she praised the speaker. Mrs.
Smith specially enjoyed the way Mrs.
Catt let the men know the women
could act separately from them at
nasd. she said. “Men don’t like
Women to know all the dirt there is
In politics," she commented. "But
the women know it anyhow.”
Mrs. Warren Blackwell was "aw
fully Interested In the speech,” but
Felt that Mrs, Catt had overstated
the ease. "I don't think a lot of
women tan bring world peace by
themselves," she objected. "And I
don't see any sense In going into the
league of nations an long as Lurope
holds to Its secret treaties.”
Mrs. C., J. Horn did not rare to
express un opinion on the speech, but
pointed out that the Omahu College
club, which she represents, had en
dorsed the world court.

Mrs. Johannes felt that "the bring
ing of peace Is women’s work, and it
U the biggest work In the world." Hhe
believed that Omaha women already
want to help aa much as they can.

Women Voters Re-ElectPresident
Eligibility Clause Killed and
Constitutional Amend
ments Reconsidered.
Mrs. R. E. McKelvy was re-elected
president of the Omaha Women's
League of Voters yesterday afternoon
at the annual meeting In the Y. W.
C. A. .
Other officers elected are: Mrs.
Harry J. Holmes, first vice president;
Dr. Jennie Oallfas. second vice presi
dent; Mrs. William Berry, third vice
president; Dr. Idelle Stoddard, secre
tary; Miss Elizabeth McClure, treas
urer. Mrs. Holmes and Miss McClure
were re-elected.
Two constitutional amendments,
passed at a recent business meeting,
were reconsidered on account of the
larger attendance. The first, Vhlch
raised the membership fee from 60
cents to $1, was passed^ Mrs. John
Sebree and others argued that it
cheapened the league to be the only
women’s organization with a fee less
than a dollar, and Mrs. D. G. Craig
head pointed out that the entire 60
cent fee went to the state organiza
tion, leaving nothing for the local
chapter.
The second amendment, requiring
that rriembers of the league be regis
tered voters, was voted down. It was
argued that the pui pose of the league
is to educate women to citizenship,
and that any woman sufficiently inter
ested to Join the league would easily
be awakened to her civic duties.
The report of the treasurer. Miss
McClure, showed the league coming

Folk Song and Dance
! Program Is Presented
A tuneful and varied program of
folk songs and dances was presented
f>y the music division of the Omaha
Women's club yesterday afternoon in
the auditorium of the Y. W. C. A.

the recital concluded with the sing
ing of "Old Folks at Home” by per
formers and audience.
Two folk dances In striking peasant
costumes, dftnced by Miss Elizabeth
Fry and Miss Alta B. Walcott,
brought a flash of color to enforce
the effect of the music. The first
was a Russian "Hapak" and the sec
ond a Swedish folk dance.
In the prologue, Mrs. H. J. Slckler
told the stories of the songs In the
program, some of which are too old to
l>e assigned any date. She also re

Ukrainian Chorus
December 29
The critics of two continents have
enthused over the singing of Ukrain
ian National chorus, which Max
Kabinoff has brought to this coun
try. and which will lie heard here j
at the Omaha auditorium Decem
ber 29.
This unique body of vocalists ap
pears In the picturesque and color
ful costumes of their native land,
that far-distant Ukraine formerly
known as little Russia, which has
long been famous in song and story.
It Is a land of romance and that
spirit Imbues the folk songs that they
sing. Under the direction of their
Cossack composer-conductor, Alex
ander Koshetz, the chorus archleves
the most marvelous effects. The
chorus has been called a human sym
phony orchestra.
The soul of music is really to be
found In the folk songs of a nation.
From that source many of the great
est of composers have derived their
inspiration. Certain it is that in no
lund can there be found more en
trancing melodies than in those of
the Ukraine. No wonder that Amer
ica has joined in the world wide
praise which has greeted them since
they began their transoceanic tour
four years ago. In all of the great
European cities they have created a
sensation and that is now being du
plicated In the United States.
One of the delights of these con
certs is the great novelty of the offer
ing. Such singing is different from
anything that you have ever hear!.
Though you live to three-score years
and 10 you will never forget the In
effable charin of their outburst of
song, the expression of the life, love
and aspiration of a great people.
Mrs. A. S. Dinto and her eons, Sher
man and Harvey, are planning a trip
to Europe next summer in the
Anna Z. Itoss party. They will sail

Hope Chest Should Be Banned
No Need to Have Anything So Tangible to Mourn
Over—Money in Hand Safer Than Useless
Articles for Home in Clouds.
By MARTHA ALLEN.
Hope chests are had things. The
person who ever brought forth this
plan for collecting furnishings for
the home ought to be punished. It
is just another way of mourning over
lost loves. The habit of keeping love
letters is bad enough, but this one of
keeping a pillow that John bought for
you or a luncheon set that Bill gave
you for Ned's home when you marry
him is ail wrong. A fetter plan, it
seems to me, is not to collect large
dinner napkins of a certain pattern
that this fellow likes, or to have
doilies Instead of tablecloths because
that man you knew years ago ex
pressed a dislike for the large cloths,
but to deposit money in the bank or
Invest It so that when the time of
marriage does come you can buy any
thing that would suit you and your
prospective husband.
Articles for the home go out of style
Just as quickly as your clothes. Why
pile up a lot of house furnishings that
won’t suit at al! when the time comes
to use them? The girl may he ex
pected to provide the linens for the
household at the time of marriage,
but money In the bank will provide
for this just as well as the collection
of several years In a scented box.
Of course hope chests are not sup
posed to be collection? of too many
years, hut any girl Who does have
such a chest la usually one who waits
in vain for the day of marriage. In
the end this patient kind ot girl Is
sometimes overburdened wltn a lot
of "Junk” that isn’t at all suitable for
the new home that Is planned. The
"hop*; chest" in the bank is much
more satisfying and more sure. If
the girl doesn't marry at all, those
things In the chest will probably be
distributed among those of her friends
who are married. The little "hope"
aecoiyit Is much safer. A sensible
couple not long ago "pooled" their
extra expense money before their mar
riage and had a neat Uttlfc sum for
house furmshlngs at the time of start
ing life together. That seems a fairer
way In which to start together if It
is to be a true partnership.
