THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 23, 1917.
Wellesley "Rushing" Party.
That today is Wellesley day, you
could not doubt had you peeked in
on the lively scene this afternoon at
the Wellesley club meeting at the
home of Mrs. Ralph Kiewit. Loyal
college alumnae find time amidst the
many lectures, musicales and social
duties to keep up their college spirit
and incidentally do a little boosting
for their alma mater. Consequently,
fifteen young girls from Brownell
Hall and Central High school were
invited to the meeting and were en
lightened upon all phases of college
life, which were so attractively pre
sented that the prospective went
home with their hearts overfiowing
with true college spirit and will
spend the rest of the winter pouring I
over catalogues.
Each member brought her memory
book and song book and one might
have thought she was on a college
campus had she chanced to meander
past the home and heard the rousing
sounds.
A skit, in which Miss Halcyon Cot
ten took the part of the homesick
freshman, who is pictured as falling
asleep in her room while reading a
letter from home, was given during
the afternoon. While she dreams vari
ous types of girls representing all the
college activities pass before her. Miss
Gretchen McConncll was the society
girl and represented the Barnswal
lows' organization; Miss May Som
ers, the student government; Miss
Ora Ambler, athletics and sports;
Miss Lydia McCague, the dread
academic; Mrs. Ralph Kiewit, the
glee club and choir; Miss Nona
Bridge, the frolics, such as May day
and tree day, and Mrs. James C.
Dahlman, who, if she had finished her
course, would have graduated with
the first graduating class of the col
lege, represented memories.
The parlors were decorated with
yellow jonquils, daffodils and tulips,
while pink roses furnished the cen
terpiece for the dining room table.
Miniature flags and George Washing
ton hatchets were used in the refresh
ments as a reminder of the day.

Hummel Tells of Trees He
Has Cut in Elmwood Park
In connection with a misunder
standing said to have arisen in con
nection with work of the park de
partment in Elmwood park, City Com
missioner Hummel offered the follow
ing statement:
"It might be inferred by some peo
ple from the agitation going on that
all the trees and shrubs in Elmwood
park were or had been cut down.
The fact is, and can lie proven, that
trees or shrubs have been cut
down only where it was absolutely
necessary. It was necessary to cut
down some trees and shrubs in mak
ing preparation for the golf course,
and in one or two cases it was neces
sary to cut down old rotten trees
along the driveways, which were apt
to tumble down at any time. The
work has been in charge of the de
partment landscape architect, Mr
Adams, who is a very capable man in
his line, and I do not think the pub
lic is in any way dissatisfied with the
work that we have done."
