Learn How to "Break the
Ice" at Affairs Given
for Soldiers
"Breaking the ice" at the various
affairs given for the m n in khaki
brings'forth a numbei of novel ideas.
Sometimes things art a bit stiff just
at first, for it is a little difficult to
talk to utter stranger;, and make them
feel at home. After you have asked
the stalwart guests about their home
and their branch of the service, con
versation languishes. You can see
them growing restive and a bored
look comes into their eyes.
At the delightful dancing parties
given every two weeks i y the Com
rade club some very effective "getting
acquainted" stunts have been planned.
The ever popular "circle two-step" is
always used, and it is impossible to
be stiff and formal while everyone is
running around and round the room
flushed and breathless, wondering
who their partner will be when the
orchestra strikes the opening chord
in a jazzy two-step. The "cut-in" or
"steal" waltzes are very effective, too.
and hc girls are whirled until they
are dizzy by first one soldier and then
another, until they feel that you know
everyone in the room.
"Talk to, not at" is the slogan of
many of these recreation clubs
throughout the country and the girls
live up to their motto in every par
ticular. At s me of the picnics unique
ice-breakers have been used. "Ego"
an ingenious game for this purpose
re very easy to learn. Each man is
given three tri-colored pins which he
wears until he sas the word "I."
Then h must give his pin to Lis
partner and move m to talk to a new
girl. By the time a soldier has for
feited his three pins he has a large
circle of friends and the most bashful,
homesick Sammy finds his reserve
melting under the warm sun of new
found friendships.
At many of the parties no ice
breakers seem necessary, however,
and in the private homes the Omaha
hostesses are so tactful and consider
ate that each man feels himself one
of the family circle.
Mrs. C. A. Mallory, who has en
deared herself to every soldier sta
tioned in Omaha, kept open house
for the boys for many months before
her appointment as hostess at the
Fort Omaha Young Men's Christian
association. Mrs. Mallory tells
proudly that the men felt so at home
that they foraged the refrigerator and
many were the cozy groups in front
of the fire on chilly evenings popping
corn and toastiti0 marshmallows
"Home and mother" doesn't seem so
very far away to these champions of
democracy, thanks to the efforts of
patriotic women, who do so much to
combat that dread enemy, "home
sickness." Mrs. Wallace in Salvation Drive.
Mrs. Eva Wallace has accepted the
position of chairman for the woman's
committee. Salvation Army war work
fund drive here during the week of
September 9 to IS. Mrs. Wallace this
morning established headquarters in
the building on the court house lawn
which has served as Liberty hall, en
listment office and Red Cross station.
The Salvation Army lassies' hut, as
it is called, will be decorated with
pictures of doughnuts and pies, and
a dinner bell will be mounted outside.
, Mrs. Wallace is calling several
score Omaha women to her assist
ance. They will serve in booths dur
ing drive week, and will aj in vari
ous ways in advertising the drive be
fore it starts.
Owing to delayed shipment of ma
terials, Mrs. Arthur Mullen, chair
man of hospital garments, makes the
following important announcements:
That hospital garments auxiliaries
working in the Masonic Temple shop
are to report for duty on regular days
beginning Tuesday; all other auxil
iaries will not be supplied with ma
terials until September 9, and school
auxliaries will not begin work until
October 1.

tion of suffrage for women in Louisi

tion, or shall have to wait until a
