Fair Red Cross Nurses Capture
Hearts and Purses of Omahans
ENERGETIC young women who
have been stationed here, there
and everywhere at Red Cross
booths this last week are very,
very tired. They have worked early
and late, that's a fact, for their work-
ing days have begun when hffstore4it'!Dwl-or Hmousine, bore its Red
and business places opened and have
continued after those long-houred
workshops have closed. If it was
next to impossible before to reach
someone that you- wanted badly to
speak with, this week it has been
without the ranee of human possi
bility. The leaders have flitted in and
out of all the hives, steadily carrying
the amount ot money raised up to the
present Brand total.
It really wouldn't be a bad idea to
' have those pretty young y people
around the downtown districts all the
time. They have furnished the cheer
iest, brightest sight on every corner.
If "really truly" nurses look half so
bewitching on the field of service as
these young Omaha women, they
must be better than tonics or stimu
lants for wounded soldiers. Everyone
exclaimed over little Mrs. Ervine
Brandeis when she wore her nurse's
costume with veil, cap and a real'
military tape of nurses blue buttoned
down the front. Mrs. Fred Hamilton,
Miss Meliora Davis, Mrs. Billy Leet
and a number of others looked per
fectly fetching in their white cos
tumes with caps and veils. The
weather, was ideal for the wearing
of white and all the nurses pro tern
took advantage of their opportunity.
Mrs. Guy L. Smith, Mrs. Edwin T.
Swobe, Mrs. C. A. Hull, Miss Alice
Carter, Mrs. William Leet and Miss
Emily Keller made up a particularly
attractive group the camera caught
as they started on the big member
ship drive. No one could resist the
Warm Breezes Suggest
Summer Flitting Near
The first warm weather breezes
wafted in our direction bring gossip
of summer plans. Mrs. Charles H.
Brown has taken a house for the
summer at Great Barrington, Mass.
She leaves about the first of June
with her children and her aunt, Mrs.
Clayton.
Miss Martha Folda left last week
for her summer home at Ephraim,
Wis., where she will be joined later
by her brother and his wife, Mr. and
Mrs. E. r. Folda.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Tukey expect
to go up to the Hilman ranch in

' Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Burgess plan
to leave here in a short time to motor
to California, stopping enroute at dif
ferent places. They will, remain all
summer in California.
Mrs. John N. Baldwin and her
mother, Mrs. Holcombe, expect to
leave next week for Waterville, N.
Y., for the summer
Mr. and Mrs. Charles D. Beaton

Dr. C. C. Allison and his family
stopped m Washington on their way
home from the south. The Allisons
will remain here until warm weather,
when they will go to Wyoming or
Colorado.

cast to spend the summer with her
sister, Gertrude, whose marriage in

Mis Manna's engagement lo Mr.
Richard Dcsbccker was announced recently

the Week
importunities of the two charming
Kopald sisters, who go to Buffalo as
brides in just a little while. Mrs. E.
S. Westbrook of the motor drivers'
SecJkSa saw to it that ievtty majhine
parder in the downtown district, was
Cross placard.
- Here "and there about the booths
one saw the maids of Ak-Sar-Ben
than whom none were prettier. Miss
Mona Towle was flitting about down
at the federal building buttoning the
loiterers in those cool corridors. Miss
Grace Allison was doing a big busi
ness at Thompson & Belden's store.
Miss Carita O'Brien in the booth at
the Brandeis stores was one of the
most charming sights of all. One day
as she passed with a group of girls
from her car to the entrance the eyes
of more than one passerby was at
tracted by her fair face.
People who have watched closely
th progress of the work cannot
praise too highly the work of Mrs.
Charles T. Kountze, Mrs. Howard H.
Baldrige, Mrs. O. C. Redick and the
other women who have devoted al
most their whole time to Red Cross
work this last week. Before 9 o'clock
in the morning they have been at their
stations. All day long they have kept
up the grind and even in the evenings
they have given up their recreation to
go about at gatherings'where women
might be interested in their good
cause.
We, ourselves did a slight service
for the Red Cross last week. Don't
think that we wish to take any undue
credit to ourselves, but stHl we can
not b.ut mention it. A member of the
booth committee in driving her limou
sine to the curb late one afternoon ex
pecting to park it, chanced to get the
rront mudguard and wheel locked in
the rear wheel and innrlcniard nf a
large car, the owner of which had
vanished completely. Madame was in
distress. She dared not move for
ward nor back. Just then we'an-
peared. We helped to lift the mud
guard away from its captor, we stood
watching the wheel and directing her
movements until finally she had com
pletely extricated her car.

Country Clubs Holding Interest
HREE C's are prominent in our
minds this week. Every society
woman's date book is marked
with these three events. First
of them all is the annual Creche card
party, which will be given at the Fon
tenelle Tuesday afternoon from 2
o'clock on. Mrs. John A. McShane,
whose return from California was an
ticipated specially because of the
splendid work which she has done for
the party in previous years, will be
unable to attempt any of the work.
Mrs. Joseph Barker and Mrs. Harry
Jordan are to have charge of the play
on that afternoon. Miss Arabell Kim
ball, who. inspires the work, has as
sembled a collection of exquisite
prizes. The ball room of the Fon
tenelle is large enough to accommo
date hundreds of you and your friends
at small cards tables. If the weather
is warm that large high-ceiled ball
room will be about the most comfort
able spot in the city, where you can
meet friend and foe. If outside the
late spring showers patter, the spa
cious room will prove a haven of rest
and entertainment.
Such a good cause as the Creche
really ought not to be neglected. The
Child Saving Institute cares for chil
dren without homes' who are subject
to adoption. The hospitals care for
children who are sick. The schools
and playgrounds care for the older
youngsters. It is the little tots,
whose parents cannot stay at home or
hire nurses to tend them that the
Creche Cares for. The day nursery is
an indispensable feature of modern
industry, we might say, for when
mothers are obliged to enter the
working world they must have some
one to rare for their babies.

Tuesday evening marks the begin
ning of a congress which is engaging
the attention of every patriotic Amer
ican citizen and at present the, people
of Omaha particularly. The food
conservation congress will call to
gether not only the cooking experts,
but women of every rank and class
who are desirous of doing a share of
the national war relief work. Mrs.
Charlie Kountze. Mrs. Howard Bald
rige or Mrs. Edward W. Nash, for
example, are among the leaders who
have been asked by the mayor to at
tend the conference. What knowledge
they gain there they will use in man
aging their households. War time is ,
making cooking and economy fashion
able for people who have never been
occupied with such details. You re
member the actual instances of sav
ing practiced in some fashionable''
households of the city of which we
told you last week. Hostesses are
regretting that they cannot give big
parties because the situation demandf
only serious things. This wiH- givf
an opportunity to get some splendit
round table ideas about the work and
what it means. Conservation is only
beginning now. When the war is '
over we may be the thriftiest persons
imaginable.
