Queen Lil's Brother in Omaha Years
Ago.
Announcement of the death of
Queen Liliuokalani, former regent of
the Hawaiian islands, brings remem- j
France of the visits of her brother,
King Kalla Kaua, better known as '
"King Calico," to this city more than j
M) years ago.
This extremely good-looking young
Hawaiian was wined and dined during
his stay in Omaha. Mayor C S.
Chase, father of Mr. Clement Chase,
was one of the reception committee
which met the royal guest at the train
and entertained him during his stay.
A dinner party was given in his
honor at the home of Judge Wool-
v orth, father of Mrs. E. M. Fairfield,
and a grand ball by the Knights Tem-
plar, as King Kaua was a prominent
Mason.
It is even whispered by The Bee
exchange editor that the king was not
averse to whiling away the hours with
a friendly game of poker, and that
several prominent Omahans, who, too,
have felt the lure of the blue and
red chip, indulged in several quiet
games with the distinguished visitor.
Egen-Martisbn.
The wedding of Miss Minnie Mar
tison and Lieutenant L. F. Egen took
place Saturday afternoon at the home
of Rev. W. Ol Anderson, pastor of
Calvary Baptist church.
Following the ceremony an in
formal dinner was served at the home
of the bride's parents.
Lieutenant Egen is stationed at
Camp Funston and after a short stay
in Omaha the young couple will leave
for Manhattan, Kas.
University Freshman Hike.
The freshman, class of the Uni
versity of Omaha took its first class
hike in the Child tract woods last
Friday afternoon. A committee of
four left half an hour before the rest
and blazed a trail as they advanced
in the ravines and hills. When the
hounds arrived at the chosen place
they found a sign which read "This is
Camp Freshman. Sacks of nuts are
hidden where squirrels hide. Find the
nuts and return here." Those who
proved to be the best hunters re
ceived prizes. The game proved to
be very interesting for the hikers.
In the evening a huge fire was
built and logs placed around it. A
feast Consisting of roasted wiennies,
bt;ns and marshmallows was enjoyed
by both hares and hounds.

Omaha Child
Breaks Into Two
N. Y. Newspapers
New York newspapers, The World
and The Herald, of Monday, Novem
ber 5, carry stories attributing much
of the credit for establishing the
Junior Red Cross organization to a
12-year-old Omaha girl, Ethel Weed
Mick, daughter of Captain William H.
Mick of the medical reserve corps,
now stationed in New York.
"The scheme occurred to me when
I was selling Red Cross buttons in
Omaha' more than three months ago,"
Miss Ethel, who lives at 411 Fourth
avenue, said. "I saw in it a way in
which every boy and girl in the Uni
ted States could he us win the war.
"It occurred to me that there ought
to be a Junior Red Cross with all the
children in it from the kindergarten
up. The kindergarten children, who
cut out bits of paper, might just as
well cut cloth to make pillows for
broken legs and arms. Children
sewing in school might just as well
sew things for our soldier boys and
not waste time.
"I took the matter up first with Mr.
Gould Dietz, chapter chairman of the
Red Cross society in Omaha, and
later it was favored by other men and
women, until it became a national
movement.
"I told State Superintendent of
Public Instruction W. H. Clemmons
about it and he sent Lawyer Bigelow
of Omaha to Washington to make the
suggestion to congress, to officials
there. Now a new class of member
ship for the Red Cross has been
started, to which the 22,000,000 school
children in America are eligible.
Miss Ethel's scheme is to have
every member of the Junior Red
Cross society to pay a membership
fee of 25 cents and to carry on the
work of making garments for sold;ers
and for refugees, as well as oilier re
lief, in an organized way and under
competent directors.
"Dr. H. N. McCracken, president
of Vassar, has agreed to act as the di
rector of the bureau of junior membership."
On the Choral society's second can
tata. Miss Elinor Kurtz, daughter of
Mrs. M. Kurtz, is one of the most en
ergetic of Campfire workers, for she
secured 1,000 signatures for the food
pledge cards. Miss Kurtz is in the
junior class of the Central High
school and aside from her school
work she has spent much time in
knitting, making scrap books and ra
tion warmers. ,

When Milady Goes Shopping
I am for women ! : : : : : : :
I see through their idiosyncracies, have them
myself and know how they feel. : : :
Adelaide Kennerly.
It's growing worse every day!
In a perfect rage Milady says
she ordered, bought and paid for a
half dozen small but very impor
tant articles three days ago and as
yet they have not arrived.
She says they were purchased in
one of the reputable retail estab
lishments, and that there is posi
tively no excuse for such negli
gence. "Fair one," says I, "you are be
ing treated like a step-dhild. This
store is taking advantage of your
good nature. It has probably lost
your purchases or delivered them
to someone in South Omaha or
San Francisco.
"I am for women! I see through
their , little idiosyncracies and
through their notions. I have them
myself and know how they feel.
Pray, let me go down to that store
and tell them what kind of business
people they are, how ungrateful,
how careless and how cruel. I shall
tell them that you have been wait
ing three days for your important
little packages and that they have
kept your dressmaker waiting at a
cost 'of 'steen' per day."
I went, all primed and ready to
spout forth torrents of wrath.
Straight to the High Mogul who is
responsible for all lapses, inatten
tion on the part of the clerks, un
intelligent delivery people, faulty
goods, ill-fitting shoes and unbecom
ing hats.
"Is that all?" queried the High
Mogul, when I had relieved myself,
who has evidently gone through
similar ordeals.
"Um-huh, about," I shamefacedly
mumbled.
"Up to a short time ago we
prided ourselves on prompt deliv
eries. We sent specials and hum
bled ourselves to the dust to please
our patrons.. But the war has
changed things. We haven't enough
clerks, we haven't enough delivery
men, we haven't enough help of
any kind and we can't get them.
"We try to give preference to all
large packages. No doubt the ines
you speak of were small." '
"Well, aren't small parcels quite
as important as large ones?"
"Yes, but it is impossible for wo
men to carry hat boxes and bedding,
Thene articles am written for the pur
ixie of helping: women shoppers. The
author will bo glad to have your usr'
tlons and to hear about yonr troubles
with view to straightening them out.
carpets and piano lamps, while they
can carry their small purchases."
"But my friend bad her knitting
with her and that was all she could
manage. She is a patriotic person
and is doinii her bit," I indignantly
rcpled.
"Patriotism comes in all kinds of
capsules and labeled to suit every
body. I am wondcrng whether
your friend might not be doing more
for her country, her town and other
people, if she put her small pur
chases in her knitting bag and took
them home. It would relieve con
gestion in our delivery department,
it would give us a chance to deliver
large packages more promptly, and
it would save her a great deal of
anxiety and anger.
"Our force has been depleted by
the call to amis and every woman
in Omaha can do a 'bit' by helping
us rill in where these boys have
left a gap." ,
Happier, and wiser, I hied me back
to the home of my friend. We de
cided that knitting bags could be
nsed for more things than knitting;
that by utilizing them in the matter
of delivery they become bags of
many virtues andleaveners for dis
positions. I shall carry my small purchases,
hereafter, and be sure of having
them at the proper time.
