Omaha Red Cross In Active Work
At the Boat Club
Mr. Gould Dietz, who has a cottage
at the Council Bluffs Rawing associa
tion, has spent a great deal of time
and entertained a number of parties
there this week. A handsome new
launch is Mr. Dietz's most recent ac
quisition. Mr. George Flack was one of the
Omahans at the , Boat club Friday
night.
Major and Mrs. Hollaway and
daughter of Kansas City, who are the
guests of Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Empkie
of Council Bluffs, were entertained at
the Friday night dinner-dance.
Mr. George Van Brunt was host
to a foursome party at the regular
dinner-dance.
Pan-Hellenic Association Tea.
The Omaha Pan-Hellenic associa
tion is planning a tea Wednesday at
3:30 at Happy Hollow club to take
the place of the annual summer
luncheon. The plan is to give the
difference in expense of the two func
tions to the Red Cross fund. At the
tea definite' arrangements will be
made concerning the presentation of
the scholarship loving cup, which, it
was voted at the last Fan-Hellenic
meeting, will be engraved with the
monogram of the sorority having the
highest scholarship record for the last
school year.
APPARENTLY oblivious of
the fact that old Sol is
pouring forth his strong
est and most direct rays,
Omaha women continue to
bend every effort toward Red
Cross and war relief work. In
stead of a depletion in the
ranks, the last month has seen
a reinforcement f r o'm the
school set, who, unwilling tfcfin the picture, which, for the
fritter away their vacation,
have joined the great amalga
mation of workers.
Many of the girls attending
eastern schools have returned
with new ideas and unlimited
enthusiasm for the work which
they began in school.
Eight patriotic high school
girls volunteered to pass four
hours a day at the Red Cross
headquarters making a card
catalogue for the 30,000 mem
bership blanks. Miss Edith
Partridge, a teacher at the
Farnam school, acts as super
visor. The girls are splendid
workers and completed 5,000
cards the first week. They do
not consider themselves mar
tyrs to the cause. In fact, they
are getting a great deal of
amusement out of the variety
of names.
"I found one man by the
name of 'Ishe,' and the next
one was 'Sureheis,' " said one

school girl set. Little Jean
Guiou is the mascot of the
class, of which Dr. William
Anderson is4he instructor.
Society matrons and buds
were greatly in evidence at the
races the Fourth of July and
sold their supply long before
the warm and hungry throng
of spectators were satisfied.
The picture shows some of the
most successful of the Red
Cross venders, who helped to
make approximately $500 for
the Red Cross.
With the Social Clubs
The Sermo club entertained in
honor of Mrs. C. W. Miller of Port
land, Ore., at the home of Mrs. J. E.
Goodrich Tuesday afternoon. Mrs.
Miller is a former member of the
club. Fourteen women were present.

Who Are Most Ardent
Country Clubbers?
THERE'S a homely old expres
sion needed for the beginning of
this little effusion. It is "Just
for greens." Now, "just for
greens," who do you suppose are the
most ardent country clubbers in
Omaha? Seymour Lake Country club,
Carter Lake club and the Boat club
at Manawa, of course, must be left out
of the consideration because they all
have cottages about them. That nar
rows the subject down to the Country,
Happy Hollow and Field clubs.
At the first-named club Mr. and
Mrs. Dick Stewart are the most faith
ful attendants during the summer.
They make the most of their privi
leges in fair or stormy weather. Even
on dark and dismal days when few
people attend the club they manage to
steal out from their busy city lives to
enjoy a game of golf. There are any
number of others who are enthusiastic
frequenters of this summer gathering
place.
The "golfing Peters," as a family,
are good country clubbers. Then
there are the Barton Millards, the
John Redicks, the W. J. Foyes, the
W. T. Burns and so on indefinitely,
for nearly all the resident members of
the Country club in Omaha are faith
ful attendants at its various functions.
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Davidson, who are
among the newest acquisitions to the
list of members, are frequent visitors
at the club house and bid fair to rival
some of the older members in their
faithful attendance. -
At the Field club the situation is
rather divided, for the enthusiastic
golfers are not always the most fre
quent diners and vice versa. Taken
all in all, though, probably Mr. Albert
Cahn is the most ardent country club
ber in the Field club set. Close after

him are the Carl Swansons, the Sam
Reynolds,' the Jack Sharpes, the Blaine
Youngs, the Allan Parmers, the F. S.
Pollards, the J. F. DalesTand dozens
more, for when you begin to enum
erate the most regular visitors at any
summer club, you must needs include
almost all the membership.
At Happy Hollow club those who
know affirm that there are too many
ardent country clubbers to make
choice of one, but from superficial ob
servation it seems that the chief con
tenders for the title may be found In
this list: Guy Liggett, L. V. Nicholas,
L. M. Holliday, W. McAdam, Don T.
Lee, H. G. Brown. Dr. D. T Quigley,
II G. Brewn and G. M Durkec Per
haps no more frequent attendants can
be found than the family of F. W.
Fitzpatrick, who came to Omaha only
this spring. Miss Frances Fitzpat
rick, the charming daughter of this
household, is the stimulus for much
of the interest shown by them.
Their Summertime Plans.
Prior Lake has always been ruore
or less frequented by Omaha people,
and this summer its proximity to the
Fort Snelling camp makes it the
more popular. Already Mrs. Tyler
Belt and daughter are there and this
week Mrs. Sam Caldwell and chil
dren, Mrs. Sam Burns and children,
with Dickie, Jane and Gordon Stew
art, are going up, and later Mrs. S. S.
Carlisle and family will go there for
the rest of the summer.
