OMAHA, in Social Nature Masque Given For Red Cross Work "The Spirit of Walden Wood," a nature masque written by Mrs. Myron Learned of Omaha, will be given at Hanscom park, Saturday, June 16, at 4 o'clock, tor the benefit of the Red Cross and the Woman's Service league. The cast numbers 100 persons, including several groups of small dancers, representing flowers, little vegetables, birds and fairies. Henry Cox has offered the services of -his Omaha Symphony Study or chestra and will introduce some es pecially arranged musical numbers, including bird calls and different themes for those taking speaking parts. The masque proper is preceded by an orchestral overture. Following this a trumpeter will herald the ap pearance os- Mrs. Doorly, who will read the prologue. Then comes the lovely opening dance to sunrise and a symbolic dance called the "Awak ening of the Flowers.'' ' As the fairies disappear and the flowers awaken, the Spirit of Walden Wood appears and a scene is pre sented in which the three fairiesj Dewdrop, Stardust and Sunbeam dance, and the spirit holds converse with them. ' After this the action of the masque unfolds. It is a whimsical thing with marked beauty and poetic thought in the lines. There is a humorous touch to the whole affair in the slangy, worldly language of the city youth, which is strangely at variance with the gentle utterances of the wood land creatures. The story relates how a very mod ern youth from Chicago comes to "Walden Wood," to spend his vaca tion, fie is unacquainted with the ways of birds and flowers and spirits which abound in the woods. As he enters the fairies giggle at his strange appearance and the music suggests city ragtime and tango. This youth converses with the spirit of the wood -I and the bluebird and robin, but finds that he speaks a different language from theirs' He inquires about "roof gardens" and "movies" and when he grows hungry he asks to be directed to a "beanery." After a while the youth almost succumbs to the charm of the sylvan life and he about decides to remain, but finally he announces that he is going to, can this serious stuff, - and go back to the city. He invites the little ones of the woods to come M'-'l TOf ' 7) :-:M w.it.h him, but only the tiny vegetables SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE Circles .' accept and they go dancing off, pre- sumably to Chicago, at the close of the masque.

Activities Summer Season Launched ; Country Clubs Open and Many June Brides d: OWN the street a jolly fat wa termelon bears the sign, "Well, here we are again." The situa tion is exactly the same with all the country clubs now, for on Friday evening the last on the list, Seymour Lake Country club, came into the fold by holding its opening dinner-dance. The evening was just as disagreeable as each of the five other clubs has bad, but the members came royally to open the summer season. The seriousness of war. times con tinues to turn the thoughts of the elite away from social functions of all kinds. The weather, too, has been a strong deterrent from outings at chib houses built to attract the gentle sum mer breezes and to withstand the heat of tronical August. Soon, though, our usual sunny weather will be cropping forth, I am sure. Cropping is the idea, for all this rain is just a starter for the crops in which everyone has a vi tal interest this year. I hen, with the sun, our veribest people will be forced sun, uur vcnucsi pcupic win uc iuivcu to seek the cooling shade of the coun-J try clubs, For this time the clubs are patient ly waiting and going through their regular schedules each week. Sey mour Lake club has children's matinee on Tuesday, women's golf luncheon on Wednesday, women's luncheon on Thursday and dinner-dances on Fri day evenings. One of the special features which Carter ; Lake club inaugurated last year will be continued this season namely, the moving picture -exhibits on the grounds Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings. Dinner-dances will be held on Tues day and Saturday evenings. Thurs day will be special feature night Happy Hollow's ' schedule includes SINGLE in Women's Realm I ill ltj sr, V'v , , w 71 , dinner-dances on Tuesday and Satur day "evenings, women's luncheon on Thursday and married folks' dinner dance every other Thursday evening. The Field club, as usual, has its dinner-dances on Wednesday and Thurs day evenings, as does also the Coun try club. The Council Bluffs Rowing association at Lake Manawa has set Friday for one of its weekly dinner dances and will probably give the other on Tuesday evening in order that its Omaha members may attend the weekly parties at both clubs. June, the month of brides and roses, is upon us. The roses are scarcely beginning to open their blossoms be cause of the cold, wet weather and the brides have - in many cases married early in the spring because of the war situation. Even now few large weddings are being planned for this month because all the brides feel that it would be out of keeping to spend time and money on large affairs. .Some one said that I - .- . . . c ' . buying a bridal outfit nowadays re quires such a fabulous sum that most brides prefer to use their money tor better causes and wear their going away suits instead of wedding gowns. The brides of this week are numer ous. On Monday will occur the mar riage of Miss Olive Myrtle Atkisson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. S. At kisson, to Mr. Clarence Nelson, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Nelson. The bridegroom's sister, Miss Delphe Nel son, will be bridesmaid and Mr. Elgin Lindman will be best man. Miss Madge Maloy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. D.
