Red Cross Ball, Fmnco-Belgian Art
Exhibit and Wedding Occupy Week
LATERALLY snowed under last
Friday morning, the social
world is now facing the pleasant
prospect of being figuratively
snowed under this coming week. War
relief work, whether it be for the Na
tional League for Woman Service,
the Red Cross, the National Surgical
Dressings Committee or any one of
the many organizations already
formed or just forming, we now have
with us like the poor. Aside from
that, however, we have tlie most in
teresting variety of social events this
week that has been gathered together
by Dame Chance for many moons.
A bride, a Red Cross ball, a May
fete, a large art exhibit, several card
parties snd numerous affairs at the
now-opsn Country club furnish a va
ried program. Every one of these is
a sure-enough, dyed-in-the-wool so
ciety event calculated to attract the
interest of the most listless worldling.
Biggest of the benefit affairs to
raise money for the financing of war
relief is the Red Cross ball which Mrs.
George Brandeis and her committee,
Mesdames Louis C. Nash, Charles
Thomas Kountze, Joseph Barker,
William A. Redick, and William Tracy
Burns, have arranged for Tuesday
evening at the Hotel Fontenelle. That
the ba:l will be a stupendous success
secnis certain. Mrs. Brandeis and her
committee expect to clear $2,000.
Sponsored by Society, the best of
whose names comprise the official
list of the Omaha branch of the Red
Cross, the ball is sure to be a truly
patrician event. The popularity of
the cause, the special dinner which
:he bote, is providing for its patrons,
he elaborate preparations being made
or patriotic decorations, all these are
factors contributing to the success of
Omaha's first Red Cross ball.
Mr. and Mrs. George Brandeis will
entertain the members of the ball

committee and their husbands at the
dinner which precedes the ball. Mr.
Xr A. Cavers will have another din

After Tuesday Miss Mary Burkley,
the society bride of the week, will
refuse all engagements, preferring to
be a rested, rather than a much-feted
bride those last few days. This eve
ning Miss Ellen Creighton gives a
supper party at the Country club in
honor of Miss Burkley and Mr.

and Mrs. E. A. Creighton, Mr. and

a tea for the bride and when this is
over the bridal affairs will be ended.
The marriage ceremony will be per
formed at 8:30 o'clock Thursday eve
ning at the home of the bride's father,
Mr. Frank J. Burkley. The large re
ception following the wedding will be
one of the brilliant social events of
the week.
Contrary to custom, there will be
no private view of the big French
Belgian art exhibit which opens
Tuesday at the' Auditorium. Mem
bers and friends of the society will
receive invitations, but the exhibit
will be open to the public on the first
day. Not only is this the largest
exhibit which has ever visited Oma
ha, but it is also the largest which
has evet traveled across the United
