THE BEE: OMAHA. TUESDAY. JANUARY 23. 1917. Personal Gossip : Society Notes : Woman's Work : Household Topics S. Richard Fuller at his initial lec ture in Omaha at the home of Mr. and Mri. Louis C. Nash on behalf of the destitute gentlewomen of France predicted that the American people who hare already given generously to the war sufferers of other coun tries will be asked for unparalleled donations. Certainly the tide of asking seems to be increasing now. for after one cause has been well begun another arises to which we are asked to give our supporp. "The cry is. 'Still they come. But we. as a nation, are do ing comparatively little for the suffer ing, statistics show. France an Enarland. of course, are straining al their resources and such small coun tries as Tasmania. Australia and New ..Zealand have all outdistanced Amcri f in their giving. Members ot theT'ranco-Belgian relief society were almost forced to regret tneir promise not to charge admission tor the lecture of Lieutenant r'ech loff at the Blackstone Saturday and especially that thry had agreed not to ask any contribution. Many peo ple, however, sought an opportunity to contribute to the cause and Father l.loyd B. Holsapple held the hat for those charitably inclined. The ball room was packed and those who could not obtain seats stood for an hour in any points of vantage. .' Miss Carrie Millard, vice president of the War Kelief society, who is in charge of the work during the ab sence of the president. Mrs. John Mc Shane, is enthusiastic in her efforts to secure endowed Omaha beds in the American Ambulance hospital in Pari.' The society itself has raised cnouch to provide one bed, the Omaha club raised more than enough for another and contributions .are steadily coming in to Ezra Millard at the umana national rani, wnicn win co towards establishing a City of Omaha bed in the hospital. Contri hution are never too small, Miss Millard k ists, and people have been responding generously. , The society is further sponsoring a collection for starving .Belgian citn dren.

Matrimonial Fables The Husband Who Neier Complained By DOROTHY DIX. Once upon a time there was a Wife whose Husband never complained of her Faults, or told her that her Ex travagance was Ruining him, or Re galed Company with Funny Stories about the Bad Bargains she had made. This filled all the Women of her Acquaintance with Envy and Won der. "We do not understand how Mrs. Blinks has got her Husband so Hyp notized that he does not even seem to Perceive her Weaknesses," they said to one another, as they Fore gathered at Afternoon Bridges, "for she is no Better than the Balance of us. We do not Observe that she makes a Burnt Offering of herself on the Kitchen Stove, nor have we Ever Missed her in the Bargain Rush where we Fight with each other over Things that we do not want when we get them Home. "Neither does she let her Duty as a Wife and Mother interfere with her Belonging to Clubs, going to Matinees and Tea Dances, and we Opine that she has Bought just as mucn smuggled l.ace at a Dollar a Yard from a Shipwrecked Sailor as she could have got for 10 cents a yard in Sixth avenue as the balance of us. "Vet while our Husbands continu ally Lambast our Follies, Her Hus band hands her as many Compli ments as if he were not Married to her." At last, unable to Endure their Curiosity Any Longer, they went to Mrs. Blinks and thus addressed her: "Tell us, we' pray thee," they said, "how you have Put this Thing Over and Induced your Husband to put the Soft Pedal on Your Faults while he Blows a Trumpet about your Vir tues." "When I was about to be Married," replied Mrs. Blinks, "I went to a Soothsayer and asked her the Secret of how to be Happy though a Wife. "'My Child,' the Wise One replied, 'in every Family there is a Hammer Thrower. Brat your Husband to the Job. Keep him so Busy Defending his own Faults that he will never have Time to Observe your Weak nesses. Farewell.' "1 laid these Sagacious Words to Heart, and they have worked like a C harm.

Xfnral' This fak). IpsrhB LA vantage of not Marrying a' Perfect Man. Bad Tempered Women .. By MADGE ARTHUR. It is said that a bad-tempered wom an can cause more actual unpleasant ness for the rest of humanity than all the other disagreeable features one finds in life, and the unlucky posses sor of an' uncontrolled temper can easily drive to ruin or to other women the men whose misfortune it is to move in her orbit. Men are very mortal beings; they are also very selfish, and they have a tremendous fondness for having their physical and mental comfort un disturbed. The average bachelor prizes perma nent peace and content above the happiness of possessing a beautiful, attractive creature for a wife, and he knows that a bad-tempered woman and peace do not go together. He admires a spirited woman, but he knows that a corresponding strong will goes along with strong character, and he expects her to exercise it. The assertion from a woman that she has a bad temper and is proud of it has kept more than one worthy man from asking her to share his fortune as his wife. The. woman who can control her self under the most trying circum stances is the woman who holds l)c strongest power over mart. No matter how beautiful and clever and fascinating the bad-tempered woman may be, or how lengthy her bank account, her power is infinitesi mal compared with that of her amia ble sister. And amiability is not only power, it is mental progression and health and happiness and long life to one's self 'and to one s friends and family E1MUS noMPENcn. 17 Black Dtgrtet2 Copying ftr every parpou BEE WANT-ADS lc per word.

SERVISS. "What is the attitude of science re- Igardlug Atlantis? It do not mean j simply the submerged continent, which is, 1 believe, generally conced ed, but the Atlantis of Plato and Don nelly, the seat and cenlcr of a high civilization. C. C. M., Williainsport, i Pa." s It is like the attitude of science re 1 garding any other tradition which has I no verifiable facts to support it. To I concede the former existence of a habitable country in the midst of the Atlantic ocean demands no-extraor-' dinary or unjustifiable credulity, be cause it has been demonstrated not only that broad regions of ihc earth's surface now submerged were once dry I'land. but also that on the bottom of the Atlantic lie graphic fcanircs of what may fairly be called a sunken continents, J he exact position and outlines of this lost land are matters still under discussion, but its existence can hardly be disputed. However, when we pass from this general admission of the former exist ence of an Atlantic continent to the particulars of Plato's legend of At lantis we encounter something not ac cordant with scientific knowledge. Plato pictures Atlantis as a land bril liant with a civilization and art sur passing even those of Greece. He tells of splendid cities, of wise laws, of admirable social and political institutions, of great mechanical achievements, and other things utter ly inconsistent with the physical and mental characteristics of the human race as archaeology has revealed that race to us during its earliest known existence upon the earth Plato's Atlantis was a kind of so phisticated Eden, but science has been unable to find any indications of a period in man's history when he was particularly suited to inhabit any kind of Eden except a savage one. The tremendous catastrophe which the ancient legend :ays caused the sudden disappearance of Atlantis must have occurred ages before the chain of recorded history began to be linked up. Every fact gathered by science concerning early man consis tently and persistently testifies that the farther we go back the lower was his condition, the more bcastlike his form and the more animal-like his in telligence. How, then, is it possible for science to accept the Platonic legend of At lantis, as the home of men superior even to the Greeks of the golden age of Athens? In view of all that science knows at present about this subject it would be. more reasonable to affirm that the inhabitants of At lantis lived in caves, or in trees, and possessed virtually no arts and but a low degree of intelligence. If, on the contrary, they were what Plato pictured them, whence did they derive they civilization? This is a question that lies outside the fence of science, in the wild, flowery mead ows of legend, where the butterflies of the imagination dazzle the eyes and confuse the reason with a maze of scintillant fancies, An.d yet it is from just such un cultivated wastes that (he future fields of science, must be redeemed, and some time we may get a trust worthy light on this very question, which now seems so insolvable. The suggestions of the imagination should never be thrown aside un tested. It has been suggested, for instance, that the legend of Atlantis, whic.li Plato says he did, not invent (and, indeed, we know he did not), was1 an original form of the story of the flood, and that the Eden which the ancient scripture writers had dimly Detore tneir minds was situated on the island, or continent, of Atlantis. With the submergence of Atlantis in consequence of a great earth throe, the race that had once inhabit ed Paradise disappeared, except a few survivors, who reached the 1 W7 SS "Thi Is the X W v:j i r t Rx 55 DO - OQ I finish I DUO "Hf-.i. .11 l j.

It is a singu i lar fact, worth recalling here, that, , as far as we know, the earliest scats i of human occupation- in Europe were in Spain and southern trance, the nearest land to the supposed site of the lost Atlantis.- Indistinctly we are able to trace the coming of a new and superior rare aiming the valleys and the Pyre ncss ami of southwestern France, and some of the specimens of art and handiwork left by this race arc of surprising excellence, although thry do not indicate civilization in our sense, liut the facial types and the size and shape of the skulls show an almost startling resemblance to those of today.
