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

accept and they go dancing off, pre-
sumably to Chicago, at the close of
the masque.
The committee on arrangements
consists of Miss Arabel Kimball, pro
moter; Miss Mary Irene Wallace, di
rector, and Mesdames Samuel i.
Burns, J. T. Stewart, William Archi
bald Smith, Lowrie ihilds, William
Shannon, T. R. Kimball and Miss

There will be daintily gowned
young Red Cross nurses and khaki
clad Boy Scouts at Hanscom park
the afternoon of the performance to
sell refreshments and assist in othet
ways.
A singer attired in patriotic colors
who will sing the Marseillaise, will
make a fitting finale. John Bloodhart
designed an attractive poster to ad
vertise the masque. It is on display

Summer Season Launched ; Country
Clubs Open and Many June Brides

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

For this time the clubs are patient
ly waiting and going through their
regular schedules each week. Sey

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

namely, the moving picture -exhibits

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
