Can You Find Yourself on the Screen? A number of Omaha girls have been told by their friends that they resemble screen stars. True, they haven't the Mary Pickford curl or the Douglas Fairbanks' smile, but very often a strong resemblance is noted by little mannerism?, perhaps a certain turn of the head or way of walking. Miss Elizabeth Davis has often been tol that she resembled Mabel Normand, and don't you really think that dark-eyed Clara Kimball Young has a double in Mrs. Dick Coad? We know a very stunning girl in our town, who was recently married, whose resemblance to Anita Stewart is very marked. Many people think that Mrs. W. N. Chambers looks a bit like that mysterious heroine, Olga Petrova. It is a little hard to see this, as Mrs. Chambers is blond and Petrova is undeniably dark, but still the movie fans maintain that there is a like ness in their features. Pretty little Miss Gertrude Kountze also has a twin on the screen and probably if you hunt a bit you will find that several Omaha girls have doubles in filmland. The Old Chums' Club. Just for the sake of auld lang syne, a little club of women who call them selves the "Old Chums' Club," meet once a month for luncheon and a bit of a chat. This is one of the oldest clubs in the city, for it has been or ganized for 20 years. There were 16 members originally, but now there are but 10, as the others have moved away. The luncheons are always very m'mnl- with no centerniece or frills and in the afternoons knitting needles click busily, for all the members are working industriously for our fight ing men. Mrs. W. A.

Prominent Club Woman In Race for Office 7 Jw . jTi r " Y $f The current of "Can't" runs through, and ruins, many lives. : : : : : By ADELAIDE KENNERLY. PEW of us really enjoy acknowledging our limitations, though we all have them. We prefer to tell the world of our achievements the land marks along the way to phantom fame. Such boasting may help temporarily, but it never wins in a close face. Put to the test the whole world will find you out and it is more cruel with those who have boasted their worth, or their deeds of valor, than to the silent workers. To have a good opinion of oneself is a most valuable asset, but good opinions must be based on efficiency, energy and persistency to keep them from becoming merely a gust of air. Current of "Can't" The current of "can't" runs through many lives and takes with it every hope. It is ruining millions of prospects and nipping endeavors in the bud, It impregnates its prey with the spirit of resentment for anything out of the ordinary; it encourages shiftlessness and monotonous routine; Jt closes the eyes to the beautiful and dulls the spirit of progress. This current of "can't" oozes into every life somewhere along the road and encourages limitations. Limitations? Yes, we all have them, but the difference lies in the way they are handled. Path of Discovery. To acknowledge our limitations is wise, for it is through such ac knowledgment (to ourselves) that the door of the mind is opened to the light It starts us on the path of discovery which leads to unexplored worlds of possibility. Since trials are the supreme tests of strength, we should welcome them as opportunities to develop our best bid them come forth from their hid ing places. Acknowledge limitations without courting theml Acknowledge them with a determination to have fewer at the next accounting! Such is the attitude of the progressive spirit. Mrs. Thomas G. Winter, former president of the Minneapolis Wo man's club and chairman of the litera ture department. General Federation of Women's Clubs, has entered the race for the second vice presidency at the next biennial meeting, to be held in Hot Springs, Ark., April 30. That Mrs. Winter will have the support of the Nebraska delegation is a foregone conclusion, as Mrs. Win ter visited the Omaha Woman's club about two years ago and made a stirring address which won the hearts of all the members. bridge occasionally and as Mrs. A. F. Midlam is leaving soon for far-away South America the little club had a most del'ghtful bridge luncheon in her honor at the home' of Mrs. A. P. Dur kee today. Blackstone Dates.

Made from Cocoanuts HARDING CREAM COMPANY Distributors Omaha At all dealers Omaha Woman's Book 1 Of Stories Accepted By the Publishers Mrs. Etta Parker Haight is the latest Omaha woman to win success in the literary world. Unknown to her many friends, for Mrs. Haight has lived in Omaha most of her life, she has been contributing short stories to several magazines, but her first book, containing two stories of western lie, "Tal-Moochi" and "Passing of Prudence Priscilla," have been accepted by a Baltimore pub lishing house and will be issued in about two months. Mrs. Haight comes from a literary family. Her cousin, Mrs. Dore Lyon, former president of the New York Federation of Women's Clubs, who lectured in Omaha several years, is a well known novelist. One of her books is named "Prudence Pratt" after the grandmother of both Mrs. Lyon and Mrs. Haight. It is the same "Prudence" around whom the Omaha woman weaved her story. An agree able thread of humor runs through Mrs. Haight's stories. Mrs. Haight is very modest about her success. "I never told my friends about it because I believe that whenever any one embarks on an enterprise or ca reer in which they have any pride, it is well not to talk too much about it until one's efforts are crowned with some degree, of success," she said, when asked how she kept her secret Mrs. Jack Sharp is the daughter of Mrs. Haight Reunion of P.
