Qutfits for destitute infants, regular
sewing classes, household visiting,
providing Christmas toys these are
few of the charitable things which
keep busy the members of the Christ
Child society. This society was or-
Snired about ten years ago by Mrs.
C. Stapleton, who is soon to leave
the city. At a meeting of the execu
tive board, which includes thirty mem
bers, yesterday morning at the Christ
Child center plans for the year were
roughly mapped out and some com
mittees appointed.
Of these committees the "most in
teresting was the one composed of
Mcsdames A. V. Kinsler, Arthur
Keeline and YV. A. C. Johnson, wlu;
are to provide Christmas toys for
really deserving families. Mrs. F. B.
Aldous it chairman of the visiting
committee. Anyone who contributes
to the society is considered a mem
ber, but active members are those
who actually work in the organization.
Perhaps the most extensive work is
the teaching of sewing, which is car
ried on by members of the society and
their friends who volunteer. Classes
re conducted at St. Phitomena's
tchool every Saturday morning and
at the settlement house sometimes
during the week. Among the volun
teer teachers are Misses Margaret
Mcbhane, Mary ruray, Mary burkley,
Margaret Bushman, Julia Mullen and
Wary Cotter. Mri M. K. Murphy, the
present active president of the society,
heads the list of matrons who teach.
Mrs. Arthur Mullen and Mrs. P. J.
Despecher are other, teachfrs.
, Each year the organization makes
three dozen sets of infanta' garments.
There ire always calls for that many
ets in really worthy and destitute
families in Omaha. Sometimes there
is call for more. The next meeting
will be held the first Tuseday in De-
' cember and at that time the newly
appointed committees will make re
ports, .f. 1

Bridge Club.
The ranks of the Bridge club, which
was known last year as the Tuesday
Debutante Bridge club, have been
sadly depleted by Cupid. Miss Char
lotte Callahan was the first member
lost, Miss Hariet Metz, now Mrs.
Will Schnorr, was the next, and Miss
Alice Jaquith and Miss Lucile Bacon
are the latest to marry away. Mrs.
Will Schnorr is the only married
member still living in town. The
club met this afternoon with Miss
Eugenie Patterson. Miss Elisabeth
Reed and Miss Josephine Congdon
substituted for the members of the
Caldwell-Vinsonhaler wedding party,
who were unable to be present.
For Miss Chandler.

by Mitt Eleanor Austin at the -University
club, Miss Esther Splndler en

Arline Chandler of Kansas City, who
is the guest of Miss Helen Garvin. ,

These necessaries are food, clothing

Those who purvey food, clothing

Fall Fashions
The new high-back cape-tike collars
are of organdie, net and voile; some
of these are so cut that they stand
up without reinforcement. In others
collar stays of wire are employed.
Sleeves are becoming more and
more worthy of attention, for they
are of many designs and lengths.
Favor seems equally divided between
wrist length and those that reach to
the elbow or just below it. The leg-o'-mutton
is being used both on tai
lored and dressy garments.

She has found the way of success.
I go there for luncheon now and
then and come away refreshed and
admiring. Some day I may invite a
society friend to join me at the little
yello,w cafeteria. I wonder if it will
teach her the same lesson it did me?
The uptown friend lives in s soiled,
shabby, little studio and thinks she
?aints. Perhaps she doe's. Personally
doubt it. Nor have I ever met anv-
lone who has a different opinion, ex-
cept herself. I believe with all my
heart in following the beckoning
finger of special aptitude. If anyone
has a talent let her cultivate it and
give the world the benefit of it.
But isn't there another duty? Isn't
it our first duty to ourselves and to
society to earn living? ' Earn it by
brilliant performance if we can or
may, but earn it. Beside that, to tuck
away the nest egg, so that if we are
ill or unfortunate we may not become
the polite kind of mendicant, the bor

broideries of living-earning.
I am sure that pretty girl who runs
the cafeteria would like to paint
pictures. She has artistic talent in some
degree, for she has made a thing of
beauty of the loft room that she has
turned into a cafeteria. But her eyes
are never clouded nor her smile
dimmed by regrets. She does one
thing she can do well. Some day she
may do the other, may paint pictures
that sell. Meanwhile she has earned
her self-respect.

Swearing at Your
By DOROTHY DIX.
A nian who was guilty of using
abusive language to his wife has been
sentenced by Magistrate Miller of the
Lone Island city police court not to
speak to his wife for six months. !
A Daniel 1 A second Daniel come i
to judgment! Thus is the punishment
made to fit the crime of wile baiting,
for the chief indoor amusement of
many a husband is saying the thirds
to the defenseless woman who is mar
ried to him that he would not dare
to say to a man even half his own size.
But There Are Some Silences that
Are More Eloquent of Hatred
Than Words.
Would that there were some way to
extend this luminous legal decision to
all the bullies and naggers and vira
goes, male and female, who make the
holy estate a torment with their
tongues. Would that they might be
enjoined from speaking at all unless
they speak pleasantly! What a place
of peace and rest would home, sweet
home, be if buttressed up with a few
legal gags I
But there are silences and silences.
There is the silence that refrains from
speech, and there is the silence that
says things more loudly than a
megaphone There are silences more
profane than any crusing could be.
All of us have witnessed the silent
pledging of hatred between two peo
ple that meant 'a duel to the death,
and each of us has withered up under
a criticism of our faults and frailties
that was all the more blighting be
cause no word was said.
Silence may be the first aid toward
making matrimony an earthly, para
dise, but, used in the home, it can also
make Reno seem a city of the blessed,
for it can become a brutal and ef
fective weapon in the hands of the do
mestic tyrant.
Who has not known some house
hold in which the husband and father
kept his trembling family in order by
means of the great silent grouch?
Some days he will come home for din
ner, or down to breakfast, with a face
as grim and unsmiling as death. Some
thing is wrong. He eats and drinks
in silence, refusing even to ask for
what he wants. He reads his paper
with a portentous dumbness that
strikes terror into his wife's bosom.
The Silent Grouch is Always Proud
that He Never Says Anything in
Anger. '
Finally some one screws up courage
enough to ask what is the matter. Is
he ill? Has anything gone wrong?
Has the wife done anything to offend
him? Have the children? To all
queries he responds "nothing," iit a
tone of voice that indicates the uni
verse is out of gear, and that arraigns
everybody in the house, from the baby
up, to having criminally conspired
against his happiness and peace and
comfort.
Such a man always takes great
credit for never saying anything when
he is mad, but he would be less brutal
if he smashed the furniture and swore
a blue streak. A wife cln deal with
a red-hot, angry man, who says things
and gives her a chance to talk back
and explain, but with a dumb one, she
is utterly helpless. She can't argu
with silence. She can only grit her
teeth and endure what she knows to
be an injustice and an outrage.
Or perhapslit is a woman who uses
that awful silence to club her husband
into submission. He tells her that
he can't afford some extravagance on
which she has set her heart. She
doesn't argue or protest, or ,weep a
few tears over it, after the 'normal
manner of women, and then kiss and
make up, and be pleasant again. Old
no I she merely passes into a state
of frozen silence that makes the

It's nonsense to say that those who
are unfortunate enough to have to
live in the same house with silent
grouchers should not notice their
glum moods. As well might you say
that you should not get wet when you
go out in the rain, or that you should
not catch malaria when you breathe
the fetid air of a swamp.
Such silences are a dank, damp ema
nation of an evil spirit that takes pos
esion of a house and lays its blight
ne hand on it, chilling every joy and
killing cheerfulness in every heart and
the laugh on every lip. You can no
more escape it than you can escape
the raw air o( a foggy morning.
"Speech is silver and silence is
golden," says the old proverb. But
this is not always true. Sometimes
silence is lead that crushes the light
and joy out of life itself, and so it is
doubtful if the woman whose husband
has been ordered not to speak to her
for six months will not be yearning to
have him swear at her rather than
sit up in that awful and accusing
dumbness.
