THE BEE: OMAHA. WEDNESDAY. MAY 8, 1918. Concluded hy Ella Fleishman J By MELLIFICIA. Athletic Club Opens In July; Informal Opening to Be Earlier Omahans will probably plan their iummer trips late this year, for no one will want to leave town before the opening of the new Athletic club which is scheduled for the middle of July. The summer season really prom ises to be very gay this year when we consider the possibilities for enter taining at this most attractive club. Already the society editor's mrnd is i whirl of forma) dinners and cozy luncheons and tea parties. The word "athletic" may sound very masculine, but you will find that the club will have a decided feminine touch, too, for it has been planned to especially attract the ladies. It is planned to hold an informal recep tion just as foon as the club is in shape. This will be prior to the for mal opening and is planned merely that the patrons may gain an idea of- the beauties of the club even though it will not be complete at that time. Directors of the Field club have announced May 25 as the date of the formal dinner-dance which will mark the opening of the summer season. We have no doubt hotels where our young set has hopped all winter will be abandoned as the warm evenings grow warmer and longer. Don't be at all surprised if the fascinating officers give these dances a very military air for we have noticed that where our girls- abound there the officers are found also. The Country club and Happy Hal low dub will also open the latter part .of May and a number of hostesses have their guest lists already com plete for the opening dinner-dance. With war work filling the days, many Red Cross units meeting at these same clubs, and then being obliged to dance with the best looking men in the United States army in the even ing, we will all be doing our pa triotic bit and the summer resorts will probably not be so alluring as of yore. War Orphans' Benefit. Master James McMullcn holds the magic key which will swing wide the door of "Mother Goose Land" on Sat urday evening at the Dance Carnival in the Brandeis theater, to be given for the fatherless children of France. A huge book will appear when the cur tain rises, and before your very eyes :he characters little Miss Muffett. Bo Peep, the three blind mice, Jack Horner and a horde of others will step From the covers as little James Mc Mullen turns the pages. A mysterious gentlemen who is said to be the best dancer in Omaha will give a French dancing number, but his identity is a dark secret. A number of pretty girls and attrac tive women will sell flowers on the streets Ssturday for these homeless kiddies in France. As Sunday is Mother's day the white carnations will sell rapidly, especially when they are offered by such attractive mer chants. Wedding Announcement. Mrs. William McCauley announces the marriage of her daughter, Mar guerite Claire, to Frank J. de la Vega, which took place Monday morning at St. Peter's church, Father McCarthy performing the ceremony.

After a short wedding trip Mr. and Mrs. de la Vega will be at their new home, 1022 South Fifty-second street, this city. A quiet wedding took place this morning at St. Mary's Magdalene's church when Miss Genevieve Ryan of Dubuque, la., became the bride of Mr. Bart L. Mollo, also of Dubuque.

S. in France Nebraska young women are inquir ing concerning service in France as telephone operators so that Prof. Sar ka Hrbkova, chairman of the Wom an's Defense committee, has issued announcements directing such inquir ers to the Civil Service commission or to the United States signal corps at Washington It is interesting to note that be sides conforming to the qualifications set by the United States signal corps for membership in the telephone unit, which is a part of the United States army, the operators are now required to pass a psychological examination to determine their motives for want ing to go abroad. "Out of 7,500 applications for mem bership in the unit of telephone girls which has been sent to France, 250 have been selected," is the statement of Captain Wesson, signal corps offi cer, in charge of the unit. One hun dred women in the official olive drab uniform of the signal corps have been sent abroad and bO are awaiting or ders in this country. These girls are stationed in groups of 10 in American bases of supplies, and points of embarkation. They will not be nearer than 2i miles from the front. New York state sent the greatest number of telephone opera tors, and California and Massachu setts tied for Second. An officer of the signal corps, who is experienced in the employment of telephone oper ators, is in charge of the housing and general welfare of the operators in France. Important Educational I deals in Wartime Hot Springs, Ark., May 7. After the "three Rs" of reading, writing and arithmetic, music is the most impor tant and the most practical subject taught in the public schools, in the opinion of Philander P. Claxton, com missioner of education of the United States. Mr. Claxton was to have ad dressed the convention of the Gen eral Federation of Women's Clubs here today, but was unable to be pres ent on account of pressing govern ment work. Instead he sent a mes sage which was read to the conven tion. "I believe most fully in the value of music as an important factor in the education and life of any people," he wrote, "and especially of a free peo ple with a democratic form of gov ernment. The songs of a nation may not be more important than its laws but their influence even in determin ing legislation and obedience to law, which in a democracy is only the for mulation of public opinion and popu lar sentiment, cannot easily be esti mated. After reading, writing and arithmetic, I consider music the most important and the most practical sub ject taught in our schools. I hope your federation will constantly and persistently use its influence for the promotion of the teaching of music in all our schools of whatever grade." Commissioner Claxton also asked the club women to work for the wel fare of children during the war, to provide facilities for preparing for intelligent American citizenship the great masses of boys and girls who do not go through high schools; to give special attention to the needs of rural schools; to further the Ameri canization movement for inculcating American principles in the immi grants, and to lend aid to the eradica tion of adult illiteracy in this country. "We are waging this war that our children may live in a world in which democracy and freedom may be safe from all menace of autocratic and militaristic powers," the letter said. "It is equally important that their world be made safe from disease, ignorance, vice and low and selfish ideals."

Mlfem B EJiM hy Ibma H Gross RCVSZHOLD ARTS ZXJT CCJfTFAL HIGH SCHOOL Large Quantity Cooking Although the spirit of war economy and war earnestness has placed en tertaining on a different footing than ever before in our lives; still there are some occasions that call for the gathering of large numbers at a luncheon or dinner. At this, time of year particularly, schools find many occasions for entertaining groups of people, and church suppers still have a place An our social calendar. It goes without saying . that any public gathering will follow the spirit and letter of conservation just as all patriotic Americans are following these in their homes. I lie problem is to plan the most attractive menu under the given conditions. Fven the 100 per cent substitution (no wheat) can be carried out if one has the will to do so.

"Many clubs felt at first that they must sacrifice every pleasure, even to the weekly or fortnightly meeting of their study classes, in order to do everything possible for Red Cross and allied activities," she said. "Fortu nately most clubs soon discoverer that they could accomplish quite as much with their hands while keeping up with their club work. They could go as a club to sew or knit and listen to a paper or a chapter from a book while busily engaged in work for the welfare of our soldiers. Consequent ly'comparatively few clubs have dis banded, although many have light ened their programs and a few are meeting less frequently than before. "We are all learning that we must keep heads as well as hands and hearts in the best possible condition, for the many new duties the war is bringing and we need to study and understand world conditions as never before." .
