Stopping
With Polly
Everyone is busy now;
Only one day's shopping now;
Christmas time draws near.
The Yuletide, for our girls and boys,
Should merry be and full o joys,
Despite the troubled year.
Come, lift your cup o' gladness high
And put your cup o' sadness by;
There's need o' fun and cheer,
So do not worry 'till the end,
When you can tell a shopping friend
Just what you'd like to buy.
There's many, many gifts, you know.
Tell Polly, who knows where to go,
Before the moments fly!
Polly will be at her desk most
all day Monday to answer your
shopping inquiries. 'Phone
Tyler 1000 and ask for "Polly
The Shopper."

A Merry Christmas, Dear Readers
and in the words of Tiny Tim,
vGod bless you every one!"
NLY Christmas is excuse enough
for busy women to drop the
many threads of their war
work. Then it is but for a
brief- two days. . A few clubs, notably,
the departments of the Omaha Wom
an's club, have given up their meeting
dates during the holiday season, but in
most cases, it has been to allow more
time for the extra rush of Red Cross
work in the Christmas week drive.
Red Cross workers in the Baird
building permit themselves a rest only
from Saturday night until Wednesday
morning, when their work for the new
years begins with a fresh impetus. A
slight reorganization . in this depart
ment of work places Mrs. O. C.
Redick in charge of formation of
auxiliaries and supplies; Mrs. Walter
E. Silver, surgical dressings, and Mrs.
Arthur Mullen, hospital garments.
Mrs. Frank W. Carmichael opens
the public workshop in the Keeline
building, 315 South Seventeenth street,
Wednesday morning also. The lo
cation is convenient and the hope is
that many shoppers will drop in for
a few hours' work.
What clubs do meet this week will
largely spend the time in social hours,
with their knitting, or else give pro
grams or entertainments in local insti
tutions. State Federation News.
Mrs. Addison E; Sheldon of Lincoln,
president of the Nebraska Federation
of Women's Clubs, calls attention in
the December number of the Bulletin
to the recommendations made to the
clubs of this state at an executive
board meeting held in Grand Island
in November. They are:
1. That the federated W omens
0
ily in war work under the direction of
the woman's committee of the Ne
braska State Council of Defense.
"2. That we keep the work in each
department strong and vital in this
crisis in the interest of the individual,
home, community, state and nation
now, and of tire-reconstruction period
which must' follow.
"There is great danger that we fail
as clubs to, realize the importance of
the club work through the regular de
partments in this, crisis. The most
pressing calls of our government
upon us at present are doubtless that
of Red Cross work and lood conserva
tion we should continue to respond
most heartily and persistently to these
until the victorious end of the war.
But this is only a part of our great
service as club women," said Ms.
Sheldon.
Announcement of the following ap
pointments to chairmanships of de
partmental work is made: Civics. Mrs.
A. It. Brooke, Hastings; civil service

With the merry crickets' singing,

In the rich, nectareous treasure,
While our grateful voices chime
