What
Women Are
Doing in the World
HE Omaha Society of Fine Arta
Is not only doing tome of the
best work In the study of art
T
mil
among the clubs of the coun
try, but the women are leav
ing as a "cornerstone" to
their effort and study one of the finest
set.-, of lantern slides on the subject of
art for the public library of the city.
The society has been In existence for
feveral years and each year a most com
plete nnd educational program has been
followed by the members In their study.
Mrs. C. W. Itusjell, president of the
Omaha Society of Fine Arts, says that
the society Is studying the "American
Painting" this year lth a membership
of 1E0 women.
This society purchases lantern slides to
bo used In the work of the women and
nt the end of each year the slides are
turned ovjt to the public library and
enn be taken out as any book with the
stiarantee that they will bo returned In
Sood condition and If broken will be re
placed. The, library has now In Its possession
l.noo slides which havo come Into Its
possession largely through the means of
the Omaha Society of Fine Arts. These
slides are not only loaned to the different
societies In the city, but many of the
women's clubs which are studying art
In the cities In tho state have borrowed
them. s '
At this point It might be added that
through tho kindness of C. N. Diets,
Frank Haller and G. M. Hitchcock many
fine slides havo been added to tho col
lection which has been given by this
society.
The paintings of tho Italians. Flemish,
Dutch. Snanlsh. French -and English have
nil been the subjects of tho study of this
club and each lesson has several slides
for the use of the leader of tho day. A

(Copyright, 1?12. by the Star Company.)
Some of the world's greatest men and
wo.rcn havo bcllecd In tho re-Incarnation
of the spirit of man In many forms and
bodies. Il Is a simple, logical nnd natural
explanation of the seemingly Illogical and
unnatural conditions which exist all
! about us.
It makes our creator of all the vast
systems of worlds the absolutely Ju!t
being, which Ho cannot bo mado to seem
by any other process of reasoning.
Our spiritual ego conies from tho
creative source, nit pure spirit; It begin
(of lis own volition) to tako on forms
nnd with each form Micro are desires:
and when w have found there. Is no real
happiness In forms and desires, wo return
nil spirit to the source ngalu. Between
each Incarnation, death occurs of the
form body; and wo pass Into various
planes of spiritual life, various heavens,
purgntorles. or hells, which aro simply
tho worlds created out of our thoughts
nnd actions. Then wo ngoln "dlo" In
these i calms, nnd come back for another
experiment.
Christ 1ms finished h!1 his experiment",
and was Indeed "one with tho Father."
as wo all will be in time.
Tho following letter but adds ono more
small link in the long chain of evidence
which life has fashioned to link my own
belief with thesn eternal verities. The
extract Is given word for word nnd letter
by letter as It wns received. Soma per
sonal passages only aro omitted:
"For about fifteen years I have been
desirous of publishing a collection of
prose nnd verses, not that 1 feel In any
great degrco that they could ever bo
considered meritorious, but I havo tasted
tho cup of human sorrow and dlsnppolnt
ment, and I feel that I ought to be nolp
ful to others for this very reason. I have
called nny collection drirtwoou, necause

on tho shore of mj own life,
"I havo been, for tho last seventeen
years, the role provider for an aged aunt
and two children. I have waited patiently
for tho opportunity to uso whatever
talent I may possess. While I am n
colored woman I fool strongly that T
I have by divine direction been placed
among tnygroup of pcoplo for a spccino
purpose.
"I lovo all things Oriental, and although
I have experienced privations, yes. pov
erty, in all Its huinttlalng forms, stilt
when I find myself In tho midst or
luxurious surroundings, or breathing cul
tured atmosphere, I feel as If I am but
renewing tho experiences of some former
period. My children nre now able to
care for themselves, the dear old aunt
has passed Into the 'real llfo" and now
my thoughts and energies aro centered
attended tho biennial held at San Fran
cisco last summer, took in tho woman's
suffrage movement. Mrs. Hayes finishes
her letter by raying:
"Tho election of officers fur tho Gen
oral Federation proved and dispelled all
doubts as to tho desire of women to vote.
"Tho fact that they wero in California,
whero everybody docs It, may havo been
responsible for the enthusiasm and tho
.interest. For the women all seemed to
feel that they wero having a tasto of real
balloting, a privilege which Is as yet un
known to very many of the country's
women.
Whatever tho reason they voted. They
voted early and In droves, and It took
the services of two policemen and an
amlablo corporal of pollco to eeo that no
more than Just enough women wcro ad
mitted to tho voting place nt ono time.
"Tho best way to mako good suffragists
is to get women moro thoroughly inter
ested in civic work. Civic work will It
must essentially lead to 'women's suf-
fragc. I consider it tho duty of tho clubs
first to glvo tho lmpulso to civic woik,
which of courso means rrlvnnclng the
cause of tho suffrage along tho best lines.
"That I nm a suffragist needs no other
confirmation than that I am a worker
for tho advancement of women. Univer
sal women's suffrage In America Is
bound to como.

Onco, when traveling aorood, 1 visited
a family in which there were tliroe chil
dren, all girls. The parents praised highly
tho Intelligence and glftH of the oldest
and tlm kind heart of the youngest. Of
the third not n word was said.
The oldest enmo and showed ine her
school testimonials, tho prizes sho hnd
won and her faultless copy book; sho
quoted English and French poets, played
the piano, and sang very prettily. Tho
parents expected mo to Join In the gen
eral chorus of praise, but I remained
silent
Tho youngest, a pretty little golden
haired nngel, came to me with her dolls
and toys, her now dress and llttlo patent
leather slippers. And while sho heard It,
tho parents told mo how wonderfully
beautiful she looked in the ovoning when
she tald her prayers and prayoil for liur
dolls-, for prisoners In Jail, for butter
flies and flowers. They evidently ex
pected mo to say sho was tho most
charming child I had' ever seen, but I ro
malned 8 lent.
I hud been thero before and had seen
the three children together, tho two of
them showing all their tricks and turns,
tho third standing-pale and silent In the
corner, hor pretty llttlo head bowed
down. And I remombercd when tho par
ents said, "Run down and play In the
garden," how the two had rushed away
whllo tho third asked In a whisper, "May
I play In tho garden, too?" When she
had gono I spoko of the touching ex
pression In her beautiful eyes, but the
parents Interrupted me and sold she was
the most Ill-mannered, naughty child
Imaginable. She was careloss, wild and
noisy and told tho most shameless lies.
In tho presence of this child I folt tho
same hopeless pain as when I see an ant-
mat being tortured without being able to
prevent It
Later on tho parents showed me In her
presence how bad her testimonials were,
how poorly she spelled, and told me how
she had recently been locked In the eel
lar all day for being naughty. The child
stood with her eyes cast down, turning
pale and red with shame.
This time I didn't see her and asked
where tho was.
Her sisters made haute to tell me.
"She Is locked up, she has been stealing."
Thn fnther had some chocolates In an
unlocked drawer, and used to dlvldo
them between the model children, and
now tuy hail discovered sho had stolen
some of the chocolates.
Thn parents thought of wending her to
a reformatory, if they only could 'find
one where the rules were strict enough.
If that girl does not grow up a bad
woman It ulll be a miracle.
I rcmenibor from Denmark a little boy
who was sent away from home because
"he lied and stole and waa a wicked
child generally." He was sent to the re
formatory "Hlinmelbjerggaarden," where
old Mr. Budde, the well-known philan
thropist, was manager. People were sure
tho boy would end- In the penitentiary.
Then one day I met Budde and asked him
about the boy who had now been with
him for four years. The old man's eyos
beamed: "He Is the finest boy I ever
had. During the four years he haB been
with mo It has not once been necessary
to scold him, far less punish him." I
asked: "How can such a thing be pos
sible, when before he camo to you
neither his parents nor his teachers
could make him behave?"
And old Budde replied very gently:
"The boy was simply starving for love."

will como and shape your destiny Into

It is to bo hoped that tho pcoplo ot her

any way helpful, will aid this remarknhl
woman to publish her works. Thoro aro

and other places who might start a sub

would promlso to buy one or more copies
of her book.

go to hor for advice, and she known how
to help them In every case. Whon the
young girls become engaged she is the
first ono to whom they tell It. On the eve
of their wedding, In the midst of their
preparations, 'they writo nnd thank her
for the happy days they spent at her
school.
I know this, for I havo fceen It.
Onco I asked hor If It never hapcncd
that bad elements, found way Into her
school. Who shook her head. "I havo
nover met a bad element, but I have had
many children who did not find tho lovo

I asked: "What about children who

plied: "Children toll lies only when you
force them to do so, nnd when they nre
afraid."
Suddenly sho laughed unit said: "I will
tell you u otory of a llttlo iiinstur thlof."
And sho told how pencil coxes, sowing
articles, thimbles nnd other things dis
appeared from tho clans rooms. Tho
children wero watched and It was easily
dlacovnred that tho thief waa a llttlo girl,
tho daughtor of a vory rich man. Not
a word was said to tho child, but the
father wns Informed on the condition
that he must say nothing to Uie child.
Chrlstman drew noar. Ono day my
friend callod the llttlo girl Into her study,
talked to her of tho significance of thn
holy festival and ut last sold: "Now
there Is this strange thing about Christ
mas tliat everybody who has done any
thing wrong Is mode to suffer for It dur
ing tho holidays. The bad conscience
wilt feel like a heavy millstone In ner
stomach, and sho will not be able io en
joy either turkey or plum pudding. Of
course you know it Is wrong to take
things that belong to others, but when
a thing like that has been done thero Is
nothing to do. Still I have an Idoa. You
ought to gather all the things and bring
them back here the last day before tho
vacation. Then you must give thorn to
the other little girls and tell them you are
sorry and will nover do such a thing
again. I think you ought to mako a nice
little speech,"
On the last day before the vacation an
automobile stops outside t.,o school and
a footman and the chauffeur carry In
side scores of packages. The teacher
unnounces that Use Von D. has no me
thing to tell her classmates, and the
little thief enters and mokes tho prettiest
little speech, promising "never to do It
again," nnd ending with the words
have brought all the things back and
glvo them to you as a Christinas prcs
cut."
My friend laughs heartily as sho tells
me that Ilea nover stolo again,
Many parents think that It is im
possible to bring up children without
frequently using the words "duty and
punishment." This Is absolutely wrong.
The scliso of duty Is a kind of sense of
honor, closely connected with the sense
of order. As one child will always put
on Its shoes and stockings In a certain
order, another now starts with the
thlrt, now with the stockings, now sits
Inst In thought on the edge of the bed
unublo to deddo what to put on first
The moment you begin to treat a child
like a pin-cushion sticking it full ot
duties, you teach the child o sigh It
Ik against nature for u child to sigh,
and against nature to burden a child with
duties.
Fur bo It from me to mean, that chil
dren should be allowed to have their
own way. They should be given oppor
tunities to lovo work instead of hat
ing It.

sotlnts.' Tljo mesxollnt Is hot new; It was orig
inated In tho seventeenth century by an
linKllshinan,. but tho pitm-ui process ot
producing thrio pictures Is so much su
perior to that of tho olden days that
mexxottnts aro considered among the
most beautiful picture production of tno
age, nnd thn demand for them li Immense.
Ono sturo In Omnhn, the A. llospo com
pany, cannot supply tho order, that It
receive. Tho greatest producer of mex-
sotlnts nt thn present time Is Ulehard
Powell of London, Some nt thn most
famous mexxotllitnr aro Fred Miller,
Harlenton lOdwnfds, Herbert Hcdeolo nnd
Percy Murtlndntc. Some of the very
popular subjects aro tho "Ago of Inno
cence." "Penelope Uoothby," "Miss Sim
plicity. rile ltluo Hoy," nnd "Tho Utile
Princess."

Mexxotlntlng Is not exactly nn engrav
ing process, though It comes under the
heading of engraving nnd might be tnlf
takon for thn same. Tho prion of mrz
xotlnls Is much greater than that of en
graved work,, and tho pictures nre many
times more handsome.
Mczxotlnts are nm do In copper by laying
a mcxzotlut ground over thn surfnen of
an etched nubject by means of a "rock-liig-tool,"
which resembles Very much
the carved blotters that are found mi
Milady's writing desk. This rocklng-too!
has flno teeth which nre Impressed Into
the plate by a rocking motion ot tho
tool; after rocking over tho plato a great
number of ways, the surface, becomes
filled with dots, which, If printed from,
would glvo a perfectly black tint. Tho
high lights, half-tints nnd gradations
are then "scraped" out with a tool termed
the "scraper," and tho work finished
with a burnisher. This stylo produces n
very soft mid pleasing engraving, and
with a well prepared etching of under
work In tho llne-and-stlpple, Is extensively
used by some engravers In producing tho
finest engravings. It Is moro generally
known as the mixed stylo line, mezzo
tint, and stipple. .
a duty, costing scoldings nnd tears. If
It is neglected. It Is the mother's task
to mako It a pleasure for tho child to
bo allowed to assist, and when It docs,
tho mother must show hor gratitude nnd
Joy, No scalos are moro sensitive than
a child's conscience and sense of Jus
tice and very often it Is wronged.
How often does It not happen that a
child arcldontly breaks something and
is punished for It, as If it wero a crime
committed Intentionally. The punish
ment Is moro Hovuro If tho object Is val
uable and this confuses the child's ncuto
sonsa of right and wrong.
Thn samo thing happens when parents
punish a child for something It haa done
'and which its brother or HMor has told
about. This in a crime against nil morals,
which kill brotherly love and destroys
thn peuco ot tho home.
It you ask then: "How nro children
to bo punished?" I reply: "Children nro
nover to be punished at all. They nocd
no punishment at all. Thn child who
gets sugar enough does not steal money
to buy cokes. Tho child who gctn lovo
enough does not willingly do anything
to cause Its paronts sorrow. And It Is
absolutely wicked to punish a crime
committed in Ignorance.
