THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1917. Red Cross Fills Women' Dy. The wave of work for Red Cross and war relief if sweeping westward with ever increasing force. At first it wai merely desultory, and then the National Surgical Dressings commit tee enlarged its work by taking a room in the Baird building and estab lishing circles of workers. The move ment became systematized. Now we have "hives of Red Cross workers in every part of town and representing every organization. It is becoming increasingly difficult almost impos siblefor even the frivolously in clined to pretend that anything but relief work should have a place in our thoughts. . , ' ' Mrs. A. L. Reed said yesterday: "We are working at such a pace that it is hard to tell how long we will last. I think, though, that soon mat ters will be systematized in such a way as to give everyone something to do 'without burdening anyone. When the work was new people rushed into half a dozen things at once. They couldn't stand it Now that we are necommg aajusicu wc wm us to work well without wearing our selves out." ' , If you want to find any of Omaha s social leaders it is safe for you to fol low such a schedule as this on regular days. From 12 midnight to 8 or 9 in the morning they are home. From 9 to 12 make the rounds of the Red Cross, Surgical Dressings committee, League for Woman Service headquar ters, in the Baird building, the Army building or the Nurses' club, and you will see the faces that you want. From 12 to 1 look in at the Fontenelle or at some of the homes to find your quarry, and then from about 2 to 6 make the rounds again and you will have the day until dinner time, when home is usually the place to find the workers. Some even devote the time after dinner to teaching classes of girls who cannot give their days to Red Cross, but others take their recreation in the evening.
