CLUB MEETINGS are again in full swing
. after the holiday diversion and each day
i' finds the ayerage clubwoman deep in

goveness to look after her children while she flitted
from club meeting to lecture, with luncheons, din-,
ners and teas sandwiched in between. The governess
was havihg a nerve-racking time with the obstrep-
erous youngsters and. decided shecould no longer,
continue at her post. She would give notice to hej
employer," was her decision. But when to do this ?
Madam Clubwoman was out fr.oor' early morn to
late at night, or, wllen at 'home, could not be dis
turbed. After several days' failure to locate her
employer, the little governess, in' desperation, be
took herself to a friend of ber clubwoman-employer.-
"Do you know which meeting Mrs.. Blank is at
tending today? Please locate her if you can and tell
her I cannot stay a moment longer. I will lose my
mind if she does not come home and do something
about those children. Tell her I can't stay. I want
my money and I went-to leave I".' X "V. .
Reaching children through the moving picture
theater, a distinctly novel and recent Jevelopment,
ts impressed upon . one at 'this .writing. Two big
local organizations, the Society of Fine Arts and
the Omaha Womatre club, are doing just that thing. -The
1' ine Arts society yesterday gave the second ot
a series of free illustrated art lectures for children
at the Monroe theater, with an explanatory art
talk by the president, Mrs. W. G., Ure. Next Satur
day morning at 10 o flock, the educitibnal commit
tee of the Omaha. Woman's club institutes its first
children's movie programs at both the Strand and
the' Muse theater. Feature films, educational ones
and comics, an ideal combination for children, so
experts say, will make up esclj program, which will
be passed upon by an advisory council representing
educational and civic organizations, before being -shown
to children. Five cents is the price.
' The movement is' not planned as. a mpney mak
ing proposition,' but is an cfiortv to establish the
right type of programs for young people each week
and to assist in elevating the general standard of
Knight, the chairman; .'-We hope the response will
be so great ID will be, followed by other carefully
selected programs." ; . i .
Clubwomen will be present ' at eich theater
to chaperons unattended ; children. Mrs E. M. ;
Syfert Mrs. George B; Darr, Mrs. Edward Johnson,
Mrs. E. S. Jewell, Mrs, William Berry, besides Mrs.
Knight, are sponsoring ...the. njew .movement.
An interesting story of I. B. 'Stoughton Holborn.
who lectures for the Drama league atTthe Black
stone hotel Thursdav afternoon, has come to lieht.
It is 'the story of HblbOriTi adoption of a little
Canadian girl, Avis Bolphin, whom he rescued from
watery grave when both were aboard the ill-fated
Lusitaina. Dr,tiolborn says he is still shaky from
his experience. I had -made friends with -the- child
on board the liner. We were eating luncheon wlien -the
shock came and I rushed for the child, out a"
life preserver, on her aftd placed her in a lifeboat.
Then I jumped. into the oceans After three-quarters v
of an hour I was picked up by a sailing craft," Dr,

mediately adopted by her? preserver. - .
This, is Dr. Holborn's second visit to Omaha.
He gave a course of lectures before the tine Arts
society last year ' on. ancient architecture and the
allied arts. The subject of Thursday's lecture is

Us LAST WEEK the children whose vaea- -
tion visit to their ' homes caused such a
burst of gayety were going back to their
various schools, most of them to stay until
the lonirsunimrr vacations. The high
school set, because it did not have to go
away, has had a lease of time and has been using
every available moment of this (week for some form
qf pnvefy. ' v , - . ' k
Vvhether It is due to a revulsion of feeling on the
pin-of society matrons, surfeited with the pleasures -of
the holidays, or whether it is accidental, no one
knows, but,the fact remains that everyone is plan- ,
ning- to attend lectures all this week, and, for that
m matter, all the1 month. V. s
The only large social event so far scheduled has
a purpose itselfr-so that everything seems to be
, 1 turned to serious work, The Brownell Hall benefit
-dance will be given afthe Fontenelle Friday eve
ning. This promises to be a gala event for the
. patrons of the school. J"he members of team No. 2,
it which is snonsorina- the dance, with their husbands.
. wiH form k large dinner party before the dancing.
Mrs. Frank Juflson was in charge and her team-V
mates were among the most active in the recent ,j
:. campaign. The group will include; - . . , V
Messrs. and Mesdames .-rA ' .. '
" Charles M. Wilhelm, ' Clement Chase,
Joseph Barker, i Edward L. Burke, '

o After a bridal trip to Japan the young people
i will come to Omaha to live and will make thetr
home for a time with Mx. Metz'a parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Metz. in 'connection with this arrang
inent a pretty little'story is told to the credit of "
Miss Gertrude Metz by her intimate friends.. When 1
the new Metz home was tuilt last summer snecialA
apartments were provided, for both Miss Gertrude '
and Mr. Philio. The voune man's rooms were done
in severe "man style," while the sister's were finished "
in a beautiful Italian blue and fitted with the ap- -pointments
that would be appropriate for a girl.) .;
When 'the question of bringing a bride to the
nome arose it was deemed unntting tnat sne should ,
bel consigned to bachelor's quarters, and so Miss'
Gertrude unselfishly offered to give up her beautiful "
'apartment to the new member of the family. " ., -:
