10 THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, APRIL 19. 1917, New CUm for Commiuarut. ' J One of the qualititi of good liter- turc, the students of that art-tell Vi, is a "universal appeal." Allow me to claim that one' quality for my effusion todav. for it deals with what Omaha women are Joing for the Red Cross! and the National League tor woman Service, a matter of interest to all of us just now. x A group of girls, members of the Browning club of Central High school and some ofr the faithful mem bers of the Junior Musical club, as you no doubt remember, were the only Red Cross members in Omaha at the time of the first stir for Red Cross work this winter. They have bee,n working away steadily all this lime, and since the organization of other Red Cross movements have co-operated in splendid style. Their work has been so neatl; and carefully done that Mrs. Charles T. Kountze, in charge of the first aid and bandage rolling division, complimented them highly upon it. They have various schemes for raising the money for the purchase of materials and have had several successful candy sales for this purpose. They meet every Friday afternoon after school in the Brown ing room. . The girls are eager for recruits who will help them to increase their work. Mrs. C. V. Axtcll, mother of one of these girls, has organized a class of twenty-five workers in the com missary department under Mrs. R. Beecher Howell. The list is com plete with the exception of two friends, who are out of town at pres ent. There are Mradam-a 3orffe attcktl, Jay Barn. c. W. PiMr, T. W. Auatln. O. W. NtW, I i Marianif Carroll n.

The blouse starts out with horizontal lines, which incline gradually to the diagonal and curve about the waist in the intricate but graceful swathing of the hiffh girdle. Satin forms the top and bottom of this blouse and continues down into the soft sashes, which are tipped with jet heads at one end and pearl at the other. The little central panel, which is half concealed by the sash, is of the moire. Black Chantilly lace cascades down the side panels of the skirt in grace ful triple alliances. To make the skirt arrangement quite clear we have drawn it for you, held out to its full width, but its bouffant draperies fall very softly, with only a mere suggestion of the oval silhouette. What is Life's Holiday? By ADA PATTERSON. A European ruler was pushed gent ly but firmly off his throne last month and the world it -far 'on its way to ward forgetting him. His realm is readjusting itself and the former ruler is doubtless happier than he ever was the sovereign of a discontented people. Something' of his piteous swan song remains in the memories of those who read it. ... Let the people have their way, he said. "1 want to live in my house with the big garden. I always loved flowers." The ruler, weak, ineffective, a fail ure as he was, uttered the wish that is in the hearts of most men and women, his superiors in strength. It was a lonitiiig for life's holiday. It was the yeanling of harassed maturity for the peace of old age. Why dread agef As well dread calm after a storm. The nub of the matter is that we dread the passing of the scepter of strength. If our energy might re main unimpaired none save a few vain women would wish to avoid life's evening, for, as to many twilight is the most beautiful part of the day, old age is the most inviting period of life. . But the bogie of lessening vigor, is ever before us. That time when we can no 'longer do the day's work without weariness, when our heavier tasks must be given to the younger generation, when persons about us make a manifest effort to spare our efforts, is the day of dread to those who feel much and think too little, and that applies to ninety-nine of every hundred of us. Would we pity the man who is going for a long vacation in the woods or by the sea? Would we sympathize with the woman who has set sail for a long journey across the western ocean, to loll for uncounted months amid the poppies of the Ori ent? On the contrary we would envy them and covet their goods. Then why sigh with those who have earned such holiday? , , Old age is the" truly ' prosperous jjeriod of th. well-regulated life. Then, if ever, a man reaps the har vest of histoilsome serving.-' Unlike the young or middle-aged man, he say to Your Grocer I Want a 10$ Loaf of scimzES Jtidfe forYouwcH But Look OtttForlmitationy knows how 'much he can afford to spend for his comfort and pleasure. The enjoyment of the younger man is disturbed by the fear of what may happen before old age is reached; he scans the horizon for the cloud that heralds the "rainy day." In the closing days of the winter I tarried for a too short while in a health and pleasure resort of the south. Thither came Americans from homes in every state of the union. Most of them had passed the three score mark and some had passed the boundary of the fourth. The ample trousers of the men showed a bowed effect in legs. Most of them had white beards, and seemed as proud of them as women of their costly ostrich plumes. One fact I noted. Seldom was one of these men of the curving limbs and the snowy white beard alone. Beside him, leaning upon his arm, or sometimes he might be leaning upon hers, was a silver-haired woman upon whose features was a faint foreshadowing of the great peace. - Passing an old pair, I caught a frag ment of chat or a tender epithet uttered in a voice that had lost its sturdy timbre. It was the era of fine companionship, following the stress and harshness of earlier life. They were sights to convert a bachelor of either sex or any age to matrimony. A man may be ever so self-sufficient, a woman ever so self-reliant, but as you begin to descend the steps of life it is good and consoling to borrow strength from a faithftrt arm. Surcease of active cares, the time for enjoyment of one's worldly goods, companionship that has been tried and proven true these concofhitants of age are not to be dreaded but craved.
