T
HE fine arts, which occupy the center of
the stage in local women's organizations
this week, will find a ready enthusiast
In Mrs. E. M. Syfert, the new president
of the Omaha Woman's club. Mrs. Syfert
ir secretary for the Omaha Drama league, and Is a
member of both the Omaha Society of Fne Arts
and the Tuesday Morning Musical club, the largest
art organization of the city. Mrs. Syfert Is also
a member of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae.
But it is with the Woman's club, which she no
heads, tha Mrs. Syfert has been particularly Identi
fied for the last seven years. For two terms she
was secretary of the organization and her election
as vice president was unanimous. She has served
as treasurer of the current topics department, asso
ciate leader of the literature department and has
been active in the oratory work of the club.
Mrs. Syfert was for two years a member of the
program committee of the Nebraska Federation of
Women's Clubs and at the last convention in Nor
folk was nominated for state recording secretary,
but declined to be a candidate.
As Miss Laura Belle Maullck, before her mar
riage, Mrs. Syfert. organized the geography work
In the first departmental work instituted In the
Omaha public schools, at the Long school. Previ
ously Mrs. Syfert taught in the elementary school
of the Chicago university under Dr. Jackman.
With so capable a leader, the members of the
Woman's club look for the accomplishment of big
things and for the carrying out of the splendid
plans outlined by the late president, Mrs.. X. II.
Nelson, prime among them the penny lunch for
Train school children.
Cognizance will also be given to Mrs. Nelson's
request that some feature of the exhibit planned
In connection with Baby Health week in March be
made permanent.
Mrs. K. R. J. Edholm, who Is the Nebraska
representative of the federal children's bureau, aa
rounces that the circulars and material sent out
last week wlU probably be better fitted for use
throughout the state. In Omaha and Lincoln, how
ever, there will be week-long exhibits jointly
financed by the Woman's clubs of the two cities.
There will be other programs given by various
organizations during the week of the exhibit, the
details or which will be announced later

ANOTHER daughter of wealth, bred In the
lap of luxury, has decided definitely to
carve her own career. She is Mlna Leola
Brandeis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Arthur D. Brandeis, who seeks the ful
fillment of happiness in the field of letters.
The crisp orders of the editor, the lure of the
trail for news to feed the Insatiable hunger of the
reading publ'c; the click-clack of typewriters In
tusy newspaper offices just a few minutes before
press time; the Inky smell and the noisy racket
o' the composing room all this spells joy Infinite
to the young Omaha girl.
Although yet a senior at Vaasar college. Miss
Brandeis has already had signed articles published
in "Life" and other well known periodicals, and
the current edition of the Vaasar Monthly contains
several article from her pen.
After graduating. Miss Brandeis plana to take
a special course of six weeks at Cornell and then
will enter upon the two-year course In journalism
at the Columbia college for budding newspaper
geniuses.
"The Liberty Bell," the inspiration for whit r
came while Miss Brandeis was at the San Franelnrr
fair when tbe Liberty Bell was exhibited, is a great
, favorite' with the father of Miss Brandeis, Omaha'i
merchant prince and a prince of merchants, as
those who glory in tbe metropolitan airs tbe city
is taking on, will attest.
"TIIK LIBERTY BELL."
"It rested there proudly, on a .Persian rug,
roped off from the little crowd of spectators who
were surrounding and admiring it respectfully. The
day before, when it had arrived, people had crowded
up and kissed it in a wild frenzy of patriotism, but
now they had calmed somewhat, and were content
to recall to each other that great day long ago,
when it had rung out its glad call, warning the
nation that freedom waa at last at hand. A noble
relic, truly, but what a pity cracked!
"Across the fair grounds In one of the exhibi
tion buildings was a booth, stifling hot, and piled
so high with overalls that there was scarcely room
for the sightseers to pass along its narrow aisles.
However, they did squeeze In somehow, and stoo
crowded close, not to look at overalls, but to see
their manufacture. For In a narrow slit hemmed
in by machines, spectators and overalls, sat twelve
girls, pretty, all of them, sewing in a frenzy ol
haste.
' It was a fascinating occupation, watrbinf
them; buttons, buttonholes, suspenders, pocketi
seemed to sppear out of nowhere and jump into
place of their own accord. And it Is so pleasant
to stand Idle and watch others work, even though
the watcher be subjected to heat and noise and th
close unpleasantant odor of too many human betngi
much too near.
"Suddenly above the confutlon of crashing ma
chines came the clear, ringing chimes of a nearby
clock striking 12. On tbe last stroke tbe machines
stopped magically, the girls rose and stretched, and
the people passed out slowly, casting regretful eyes
on the interrupted work. Rome of the late-comers
felt cheated that tbe show had stopped so soon.
"One of tbe girls unwrapped a newspaper parcel
filled with lunch. She rested her back against the
machine her stool had no back to it and sighed,
a long-drawn, luxurious sigh of pleasure. 'Huh!'
she said to her neighbor,' In a deep gutteral, thick
lth foreign accent. That's the real Liberty Bell,
ain't It?'
"Her neighbor an American looked at her
with startled eyes. 'What a hell of a joke!' she ex
claimed. "But it wasn't the joke she objected to.
"LEOLA BRANDEIS, 1916."

f art, discussions on art, architecture, the
proso of tbe seventeenth century, criti
cism and tbo return of tbe delightful Powys.
There sre bridges, dinners, dances, mere affairs
of play edged in between, but even over tbe Mon

But this is beginning to read like an account
of the New York Horse show, where It is the ocon
pants of the boxes and blue book entries which are
more discussed and In view than the beauties on
the tanbark.
