SOCIETY

PROBABLY no other club in the
city has worked so untiringly
or accomplished such results
as the Dundee Woman' Patriotic
club. This coterie of matrons
through their own efforts, have
placed two Woung women, Miss
Helen Cornefl and Miss Frances
Nieman, in canteens in France and
were planning to assist in financing
two more girls when the recruiting!
ior canteen workers ended, i
Miss Helen Cornell, who is serv
ing in a station canteen, at Cha
teauroux, France, has written the
women of the club of the needs of
the men, who returned from ht front.
Many of the warriors had lost their
comfort kits and were without, the
snyill necessities so important to
one's comfort. Without money, vey
often, new kits were quite out of
the question. No sooner had Miss
Cornell's letter been received than
, the club voted $50 to be sent to her
that she might purchase kits for tk?
men who needed them.
With the war at an end, the c
tivities of the club have been ur
tailed to some extent, but the
women will devote their efforts now
to assisting in every way possible
the reconstruction work. Their
emissaries "over there" will act as
their agents, as Miss Nieman has
also been assigned to a post of duty.

Here is Miss Julia Lithnson, who
Kcupies ihe most coveted position
available to the trained, registered
nurse. She is the chief nurfce of the
American expeditionary . force in
France. Prior to her appointment,
which was effective early in No
vember, Miss Stimson was the head
of the American Red Cross nursing
staff in France.
' Before the United States, entered
the war, Miss Stimson joined Amer
ican Hospital Unit No. 21, while
serving as superintendent of nurses
and head of the training school for
nurses at Barnes hospital, Wash
ington university, St. Louis. Just
after, American intervention, this
unit was one of 12 hospittal units
assigned to British forces and left
St. Louis May 17, 1917, and sailed
from New York SaturdM May 19.
For 10 months Miss Stimson was
on duty at British Hospital No. 12,
and in April, 1918, she was trans
ferred to the service of the Ameri
can Red Cross.
Miss Stimson graduated from Vas
sar in 1901, intending to studymedi
cine. Later she determined that
her" field was nursing, and in 1904
sTie entered the New York Hospital
Training School for Nurses. In
1911 she was called from her posi
tion as superintendent of Harlem
hospital, New York, to take charge
of nursing and social service work
at Washington university, St. Louis.
A woman of unusual ability and

LAM !" went the Giant's club
against the stomach" of the
Blue Imp officer.
"Whoop 1" went Captain Dismal,
as he flew through the air like a
ball hit by a bat. Over and over
he whirled, cutting such a comical
figure that Peggy jjould have
laughed if she hadn't been so much
excited and puzzled over the
strangenesstf the situation.
"Fair ball!" shouted the , Giant,
and with that he grabbed up an
other Blue Imp, threw him into tthe
air, and batted him far away.. Then
he batted a third and a fourth,
laughing with glee as he did so.
Peggy began to hope 'that he
would frighten the Imps away, but
no I While they cowered back every
time he gave his big laugh, they
still clung tenaciously to her. At
as fast as he batted the Imps away,
they came bounding back, as vigor
ous as eVer. Peggy's spirits -sank
again, and as they did so she found
herself wrapped up in more and
more fine threads, while th number
of the Blue Imps increased until she
couldn't count them.
"Here, here, you've got to help
me!" pantted the Giant, swinging
away as fast as he could at the
Imps.'
"I can't," wailed Peggy. "I'm
tied fast."
"Your body is, but your spirit
isn't," grunted tthe Giant, taking a
particularly big swat at Captain Dis-
Polish Countess' Fine Arts Lecture
Appeals for Aid (
Countess Laura de Gozdawa
Turczynbwicz, author of "When the
Prussians Came to Poland," will
appear before the Omaha Society of
Fine Arts Wednesday at 3:30 o'clock
in the 'Fontenelle. The countess is
an American woman who married a
Polish nobleman. ,
At the, outbreak of the war, when
hef husband was called to the serv
ice of his country, she remained in
heir home with her family. Thes.
story which 9fae tells of their ex
periences at the time of the German
invasion is impressive because it is
first-hand.
The countess reached this coun
try several months ago and has been
lecturing in large eastern cities,
seeking relief for the stricken peo
ple of Poland. Countess (Turczy
nowicz is active in the movement
to send rolls Gray bamantans
abroad through the Y. W.C. A.
Mrs. Louis Nash, chairman of
the program committee of the fine
arts society, and members of . the
board will probably entertain the
countess, during her stay.
Red Cross Notes
Fixing Quotas hase been such a
familiar Teature of previous cam
paigns, whether to sell Liberty
bonds or to raise wVlfare and relief
funds, that the failure to assign a
quoto to Omaha in the Red Cross
Christmas roll call is arousing dis
cussion.
The ' reason given by the local
Red Cross chapter is" logical. The
Red Cross is so widely known and
so strongly approved that the goal
of the Christmas roll call is noth
ing short of "universal member
ship." In other words, the censts
figures will be Omaha's quota, as
they will be for the whole nation.
.The week of December 16-23 will
seethis apparently formidable task
accomplished, because there will be
an eager spirit of 'Co-operation.
More than 22,000,000 present mem
bers in the United States wilr an
swer "here," and it is the hope of
the Red Cross war council that tre
ble or quadruple that number will
join and so permit a Christmas eve
cable to Europe that the American
people- are solidly behind the Red
Cross spirit.
The Red ' Cross Christmas roll
call is not an effort to raise money,
and no one in Omaha will be asked
for contributions. The annual mem
bership dues amount to only $1.
Omaha undoubtedly has as many
dollars for the Red Cross as there
ai adults in its population.
- Owing to the street car strike, the
chorus rehearsal for the Red Cross
masque Vliich was to have been
held this evening, hasv been post
poned. The, d.ate of the rehearsal
will be announced through the press
and every one who reads music is
urged to attend. '
- A little club of boys who call
themselves the "Junior Red Cross
Boys" have certainly gone over the
top in their town of Stamford, Neb.
"here are 26 boys in the club and
during July and August they knit
blocks enough for a full size quilt.

mal, who had xeme back, just like
a big buzzing annoying fly. "Laugh,
and call out the Rosy Peps."
. Peggy i didn't kfow what he
meant by the Rosy' Feps, and she
didn't feel like laughing. Just then,
however. Captain Dismal, flying
through the air from the Giant's
bat, bumped into Blue'Jay, who was
cheering on the Giant's attack. Blue
Jay made a grab at him, got him
by one foot and shook him vigbr
ously. The sight was so funny tthat
Peggy burst out in a merry peal of
laughter.
The effect was surprising. .The
Blue Imps were thrown into a tang
ling commotion. Peggy felt a
slight loosening of the fetters
which bound her. At the same time
there! appeared above the; Giant's
head what looked like a beautiful
big pink butterfly.
"Good! Laugh again I Bring the
Rosy Pepsi" shouted the Giant.
With that he batted 'another Blue
Imp, sending him somersaulting in
to a bed of burrs at the side of the
road. The Blue Imp" looked as stuck
j;p and amazed as he tried to get
Out of the burrs that Peggy laughed
again. Once more there was a com
motion among the Blue Imps; once
more Peggy felt a loosening of her
fetters; and another pitk flyer ap
peared above the Giant's head.
Now the pink flyers came near,
and to Peggy's astonishment she
found that they were not butter
flies at all. They were tiny doll
like knights clad in pink armor
and borne on pink wings." In the
hands of each flashed a sharp pink
sword. -
"Hurrah I Now we'll whip the
Blue Imps," shouted the Giant, bat
ting an Imp high in the air. The
first winged knight -darted after the
Imo. His sword flashed into the
Imp's body. "Pop!" went the Imp,
exploding just like a toy balloon.
This was so unexpected and there
was such a queer look on the Imp's
face as he vanished, that Peggy
let out another squeal of laughter.
A third winged knight flashed
into view, and with his fellows he
went after the Blue Imps with
vengeance. "Pop, pop, popl" went
the Imps, bursting like a lot of fire
crackers on the Fourth of July.
The more they "popped" the harder
Peggy laughed, and the harder she
laughed the more winged knights
appeared, and the faster the Blire
Imps disappeared.
In a trice there were more winged
knights than Blue Imps. Then the
Blue Imps, with yells of rage and
fear, went bounding away as fast
as they could. I
"Well done, Rosy Peps," ehouted
the panting Giant. We saved Prin
cess Peggy just in time."
"I thik you," cried Peggy. "And
i m nappy to make your
acquaintance.
"Oh, we've known you a long
time and have guarded you many
rfmes from the Blue Imps," spoke
up a particularly handsome knight,
who introduced himself as Sia,
Ready Smiler. "Today, however,
you drove us away with your cross
frown and sour thoughts and gave
the Blue Imps a chance to catch
you."T -
"I'll not do it again" promised
Peggy. 1 "You hadn't better," said
the Giant, "for we might not be on
hand to save you." , -'
Just then Blue Jay, who had
scouted after the Imps, came flying
back.'
"Come quick," he shrieked. "A
whole army of Blue Imps has cap
tured Mrs. Dalton, mother of Sol
diers Bill and Bent"
(Tomorrow will be told how Peggy, the
Giant and the Rosy Peps go to the rescue
of the soldiers' mother.) ,
