THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 28. 1'917. oeiefo k 5D By MELL1F1C ASept. 271 , War Relief Work Comes First That women in other cities have not yet attained the patriotic heights reached by Omaha women of society, ! is evidenced by the perusal of a hi-, cago society sheet, wherein the so- j ctol mentor exhorts her readers as 1 fallows: ' j "There is one thing American women ignore, and that is the urgent necessity of making all war relief work lake precedence of literally everything else in life family, busi ness, society. It is still not unusual to hear a woman say: 'I'm sorry I can't come to the committee meeting; I've a luncheon engagement.' Noth ing short, of illness and death should be allowed to interfere with what ever task has been assumed by the individual that has to do with war relief work." ' This is quite a different condition than exists in Omaha. A prominent matron, whose invitations it is a pleasure to accept, so enjoyable are her functions, said: "Whenever I extend invitations for luncheon or bridge nowadays, in variably the woman I am asking will say: ' " 'Let me see, is it my Red Cross day or not?' And if it is, myinvita tion is declined. Of if any woman has a day to give knitting instructions or to help in the canteen at Fort Omaha or at National Service league rooms, no social event, nowever ai luring, is permitted to interfere."

Zofia Popular Polish Name. So many Omahans commented, on the similarity of the names of- Miss Zofia Naimska,'v the young Polish woman connected with the Damrosch music institute in New York who will talk on Polish war relief Saturday evening at 8 o'clock at Brownell Hall, anfl that of her cousin. Miss Zofia Naimska, who is on the musical fac ulty of Brownell. On account of the relationship, this fact is not so curi ous as the recurrence of the mime "Zofia" in the list of women who serve, on the Polish Woman's league board.

Women Balk on Passing ' - Marguerite Clark Film Whether to pass a Marguerite Clark film, "Out of the Drifts," is bothering the movie censors of the Omaha Wo man's club educational committee, headed by Mrs. W. S. Knight. The picture was ordered by the manager ot the Lothroo theater, to substitute for another film which did not meet the approval of the club women for their family program Friday evening. . Wnen the first picture was cen sored I thought surely trere could be no question of the properity of a Marguerite Clark picture, said the nustrated manager. Those who have seen the film say H is the only dubious film tn which the popular screen actress has ever ap oeared. Whether the picture will be shown Friday night is still in doubt The Suburban theater will show Willard Mack in Aloha and a com edy. and the Apollo theater Marie OS' borne in "Tears and Smiles and a Black Diamond comedy.

Probation Officer Miller says he will make an example of the case and that a special effort will be made to protect young girls during carnival wceic Are You Punctual By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. "Better late than never" is the motto of too many women. To elirm nate. waste lives ought to be run on schedules almost as trains are. A time-table by which to live may sound trightfully unromantic. but boat can manage to go by just as many beautiful green shores when it starts promptly at 12 as it would i it didn't go until a quarter of 1. Really, it is making up time that forces trains to dash carelessly through wonderful country and that drives both tooting and hooting and belching clouds of gray smoke by the green glory of the Palisades. s The only way to have plenty of leisure to observe the scenery by the way is to start early! Writers galore, from Mark Twain up and down, have talked about the amount of time being prompt wastes for you while you are waiting tor the other fellow who isn so prompt. And yet it is better to be the chap who arrives on time and who can sit and reflect than the one who-rushes in flurried and breathless and apologetic. ThcSvorst offenders against the right of the clock are women. They letso many things dc lay them. Who hasn't waited in the lobby of the store through a long nerve-wrecking half hour and then have the other woman arrive with a flurried: Have J kept you waiting, my dear? I'm so sorry but I realiv didn t think you d be on time or 1 would have hurried a little more. Why not think the other chap is going to be on timer Why make an appointment for 12:30, tucking away in your mind a mental reservation that you really must be there by 1? New York hostesses have gotten in the habit of setting the dinner hour for 7:30, telling the cook to be ready by 8 and asking the kindlv fates to grant that the guests mav arrive by 8:301 Movable schedules like that arc bound to waste time for someone. The proper resepct for five minutes and all its possibilities is a mark of real ability. 1 he man who is hon estly efficient and who occupies a posi tion o importance in the business world knows the value of his own every minute and respects tne mo ments of his associates. There arc a good many contribut mg causes to the casual attitude women have toward time. First of all they know perfectly well that if they aren t late they will probably have- to wait tor the other woman, Secondly,, there are so many delaying trifles in' the life of the average woman. Hie cook may want to dis cuss the quality of vegetables the gro cer is senc'ing in." Baby may cut her finger just as mother is ready to go out, and, of course, mother must stay to bind, it up and kiss, and make it well. The telephone rings, a car is just missed; some incident distracts and, delays, and time slips by while the woman who is wasting it has not conscious ness of her extravagance and unbusi nesslike casualness. A friend of mine who has the habit of tardiness excused himself (yes, sometimes men are offenders, too) by saying that he was frightfully op timistic about the number of things that could be accomplished between 12 and 1 and that he always liked to finish up what he was doing before he went on to the next event on the calendar. He was notorious for tardi ness. Suddenly and without warning he began to appear everywhere on time. "How do you do it?" gasped an amazed world, which was not in the habit of wasting its time by keeping appointments -promptly with Jim Travers. "How do I do t? Oh. I just look at my watch once in a while and re member that the other tellow has a few things to do, too. I start my day a little earlier and I keep it going a little later. And I sort of remind my self that time belongs to the other fel low, too." Time does belong to the other fel low, too. To waste his time is wan tonly selfish. But from an egocentric point of view, you waste even more than time when you fail to keep ap pointments promptly. You lose op portunity. You miss the chance to impress practical people witn your trustworthiness and accuracy. You set yourself down as one of those trivial, casual folk to whom nothing big can be trusted. Do you suppose an architect wno had a big contract to sublet would give it to a contractor who came late to three consultations? How would he dare? There is a forfeit, clause to buildine contracts but at that, the architect would recognize, that time was even more than money to the firm who wanted their building done nn time. " All the oeoole who have big jobs to let out want to give them to reliable men who nave proven inemscivcs faithful in little thines and who can be trusted to put big undertakings through on time.

Dear Miss Fairfax: A srirl of la in m. ployed in a small New Tork office. Ono of the emnloyers, a well-to-do traveling man of middle age, visits the Now York office once every few months. Ho always has presents for the young ladles In tiie office and 1C always willing to take them out to dinners and theaters. Ho has done so a few times, taking them back and forth In taxlcabs. The employers are married and have chil dren. The young lady seems about to win a young man who objects to her going out with any of her employers. Is he right? Do you think the young lady Is traveling on a safe path 7 Do you think she Us doing justice to the young man? DISAPPOINTED The young man's attitude is Jcorrect. First of all, It Is wiser and safer and In every way more efficient for a young woman In a business ofIce to keep her relation ships with the men there entirely free from the social element If those men are mar ried, or If they feel that they are, conde scending when they become friendly with their employes. No nice girl wants to ac cept dangerous attentions whether those attentions are directly dangerous to her or threaten another woman's happiness. Please, little girl, for the caVo of your own dignity and out of respect for me, be more loyal to the man who loves you than they are to the women who lovo them. wrong, but 1 am under the impression that he Is taking a, very unreasonable attitude In regard, to the matter, as I bolieve I am en tltled-to my own money.
