8 TIIE BEfl: OMAHA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1915 Beautiful Belgian Actress is Here in Interest of Her Countrymen By MELLIFICIA. Thursday, February 4, 1915. WITil the revival of old-time fashions, such as the colonial bouquet, tLe vohmlnous wide skirt, a forerunner of the hoop skirt, which is to be with us so soon. It would be an Interesting thing for .ne society folk of today to turn their, engagement books intti a semblance of a dlery, those charming little books our grandmothers usea to keep so religiously. This old-fashioned custom seems to be hopeless and unfortunately ;one forevr r. . I found In an eld trunk, Just the other day, one of those tiny volumes and Into It ho painstakingly written were the impressions or a sea Toyag taken, oh so manv years ago. It was filled with Impressions, sentimen talities and" feelings, which In this present day rush would be impossible. A word, or at least a line now and then "I wag at a tea the other day" Is all that could be expected. But, when you think of the pleasures sucn little books will hold for future years, let us have them live again. With the Dancing: Club.

Palrlck'a church - was not large enough to hold the vast host of friends who con gregated at the church to pay homage to the man who waa dearly beloved not only by. Catholics but Protestants as well. The city commissioners heVe passed ordinances which provide for a recreation board of five members and a public wel fare board of five members. This action was the consummation ow a campaign which haa been carried on for several months. Dr. Cyrus Btlmson of the National Playground and Ileorcstlon association. and Prof. Theodore Hanson of the Public Welfare league of America were present t the council meeting and felt gratified that the ordinances have actually been paascd. These measures will become laws flftenn days from passage, or February Y). ; In the meantime the maypr will decide , on appointments, which must be con- j iirmea rjy me council.

The first five members of this board will serve tor one, two and three years, respectively, one new mem ber being selected for a term of three yeara each year after the first "year.

It Is stated that It will take six months or more to make a aurvey, of the local situation and to outline some . definite program. Thla board will be aubject to control of the city council and will have charge of in spection and supervision ofcommercial amiroemcnta and -entertainments and. may make needful regulations for tha same. The ordinance empowers the members with authority to Investigate and regulate care of prisoners, conduct of penal Institutions; to establish a free employment bureau and legal aid bureau; to study causes of poverty, delinquency. crime and disease. The welfare and recreation boards will work Independently. , Encouraged by the offer of an Omaha business nisn. Mile. Philippine Artois, an Anglicised Pelglan artrese.
