Mlaalon workers have considerable dif
ficulty In changing the; hahlta of some of
the youthful pupils. One little girl In a
sewing class under the tutelage of a
prominent Omaha seole ty' .wqman, , was
drilled to say "please" whenever she
uiked for anything. Ot)e day she piped
In a thin little voice. ''Please pass the
thread." Kvery one happened to be busy
and pld no attention to the small miss.
Finally she asked again, "Pleaae pass
the thread." No one paid any attention.
Finally, considerably angered, she cried,
"Why in h , don't some one pass me the
thread?" fhe got the thread.
Cut-in IVanee Is Here.
The men of the Harvard Musical clubs
started a new and Interesting custom In
Omaha, the no-program dance. The bell
given In honor of the viators . was the
first large and formal affair given here,
when programs were not used.
The men of the musical clubs followed
the custom In the east of abolishing pro
grams. They also darned at nearly all
of the afternoon teas given In their honor
on their holiday tour. The visitor also
Introduced the eastern way of dancing
the "Uoston," which, la slower and grace
ful than the way It has been danced.
The no-program dance Was so popular,
that the debutante set, who planned an
Informal dancing party at tho Country
club last evening, decided that no pro
grams were to be uaed, and the guesls
were requested not to engage any dances
in advance. '

Mother and Three
Children Freezing
in Chicken Coop
Destltuto and almost rrnzen to death,
two small girls, aged 6 and . wero found
Friday by Salvation Army officers hud
dled close to their mother in a filthy
chicken coop in the rear of the residence
of a colored family :n the 1200 block.
North Twenty-seventh street, desperately
trying to keep warm over a tiny flro that
was nothing more than a spark.
They were taken In a carriage to the
home of Adjutant Thomas on Capitol
avenue, where they were warmed and fed
and provided with comfortable clothing.
Saturday the officers will place them In a
regular home and see that they aro cared
for until the mother, who 1 a dress
maker, cin care for her little ones.
The case was called to the attention of
the Salvation Army by a woman living In
the neighborhood, and when Investigation
was made It was learned that the woman,
who has been divorced from her husband
for several years, was ejected from her
home on North Sixteenth street several
days ago for nonpayment of rent, and
since then she ha been seeking shelter
In coal shed and barns and using her
meager supply of money to provide food
for herself and children. v .
The woman was too proud to ask for
assistance, and for this reason the Salva
tlon Army 6f fleers would not tell her
name nor anything more about her ex
cept what la told above.
"We have had many pitiful case like
this brought to our attention," said En
sign Thomas, daughter of the adjutant,
"and 1 often marvel at the peopto who
will expose themselves and loved ones to
death rather than ask for assistance. I
fall to see where there is any disgrace In
asking for charity. The disgrace Is
where one continue to ask. We have a ,
Hat of worthy poor who. want work and
we are doing all we can to place them In
positions. They will take anything that
will offer them a means of livelihood and
our soldiers are spending much of their
time looking for Jobs for them."
