Seven Thousand to Hear Silvery
Tones in Warm House.
Do you think that Caruso could so
Carry you away with his silvery tones
that you would forget how cold your
lands and feet were? That is what
le has to do these days in New York.
The theaters are so chilly that one
really risks pneumonia to attend.
Does Enrico cut his price? Nay, $6
a seat, if you please. Mrs, J. V.
.Woodrough and her daughter, Miss
. Marjorie Becket, who are now in
Kew York, had this experience last
week. Seven thousand people will
hear John McCormack sing in our
own fair city tonight, but would they
go if the Auditorium was cold? That
is a question we cannot answer, for,
Sas yet, our public buildings have not
btcn stinted on coal.
Mrs. Woddrough writes her moth
er, Mrs. George C. Bonner, that all
the public buildings, stores and thea
ters in New York are uncomfortably
cold, r Mrs. Woodrough and Miss
Marjorie went east to visit. Mr. Guy
Becket. who is with the coast defense,
and they have found that the only
warm place in New York was a
cabin on the gunboat "Alice," on
which. Mr. Becket is stationed. We
might remark in passing that "Alice"
is certainly an appropriate name for
a gunboat. .
A trip to New York has always
sounded very fascinating, but these
coal shortage times staying at home
sounds more comfortable, at least.
A number of Omahans have left for
the cast in the past few days and we
are wondering what reports they will
bring back and how those who are
living there are faring. Dr. and Mrs.
Harold Gififord and Miss Anne Gif
ford have but recently left, Mr. and
Mrs. Hoxie Clark forsook our cozy
firesides and returned a day or two
ago. Miss Eugenia Patterson . and
her sister, Mrs. . Miriam Patterson
Boyce are sojourners in the metropo
lis and Mr. and Mrs. Ward Burgess
are on their way, having stopped -off
in Chicago., ,
Junior Prom ,.,
The Junior -Prom will be given
Friday, January 25p at Keeps' Danc
ing academy under the. management
of Marion Adams and Rex Elwood
of the Central High school.
Floyd Paynter and Thurston Logan
are planning a student and alumni
dance for February IS at Keeps.

terian church, and for Mrs. Wilson

liams, T. F. Stroud and Albert Haber
stro have organized the Liberty Pub

New Book ThrusW'Three
Weeks" Et Al Into Dust
Heap at Woman's Club
"Pelle, the Conaueror." lartin
Andreson Nexo's autobiographical
picture of Danish life, has - thrust
"Three Weeks" and "Damaged
Goods" out of the limelight Not
that they are in the same class. They
aren't. But they have the same pro
pensity for. trouble making in the
Omaha Woman's club literature de
partment. Whether to' publish the announce
ment in the Sunday club column that
the department would study this book
at the meeting Wednesday and at
two more successive meetings is the
point which precipitated the differ
ence of opinion around which a littl
storm centers.
Mrs. H. E. Sorenson, secretary ol
the literatare department, requested
local newspapers to withhold 'the
name T5f the book to be studied or
j not to print the notice at "Jril.
Airs. G. C Bonner who is to leao
the discussion, assisted by Mrs. Ed
win S. Jewell, thought it would do no
harm to mention the name and au
thor because it would mean little, to
most readers of the notice. "So few
have read the book, it is not yet well
known. It is on the restricted list
at the library," she said.
" Telle, the Conqueror,' is one of
the greatest novels of the day. It -is
literature and a book which will live."
commented. Miss Edith Tobbitt. li
brarian. "No one should question
the wisdom of studying such a work
or having (he discussion known. It
is placed on the list for limited cir
culation because it is too serious a
book for any but a student or ma
ture mind."
The book is a picture of Danish
life of the lowest class. That it
might create a wrong impression of
the Danish people is the objection
some have expressed.
