Adopted by
Guild
Needlework Guild Appeals
f n Heart nf Humanity for
Funds to Re-establish
St. Quentin, France
The Omaha branch of the Needle
work Guild of America has been
appealed to by tfce national organi
sation to assist in raising money
for the benefit of the returning refu
eees of the town of St. Quentin,
r ranee, inm money win uc icm
tr.r hnvins- at wholesale orices ma
terials for garments or . household
linens or for sewing machines to
icplace those lost through the mis
fortunes of the war.
For several years the guild has
maintained a branch in Lyons,
France, and since the outbreak of
the war thi3 branch has distributed
the garments made by the branches
in this country which have had war
relief departments. Our Omaha
branch did not join in this work be
cause our local Red Cross was so
well organized along the same lines.
mm xt it - 'i.! c a , -:
lias recently adopted the town of
St. Quentin, which they hope to
supply with clothing and household
linen,
Though no formal action was
taken on the subject it is generally
felt that this is somewhat in the
nature of a memorial to Quentin
Roosevelt (because of its significant
association with the honorary presi
dent of the guild.) :
Mme. Castell, secretary of the
Lyons branch, made a trip recently
through the devastated regions to
St. Quentin in order to see what
was needed there and in a letter to
Mrs. John Wood Stewart of New
i.orK, cnairman 01 tne war reuei ae-
pirtment of the N. W. G. A., gives
the following touching , account of
the situation:
i "Nothing is left, not a chickc"
not a cow, not a dog or cat. AH
one sees is ravens flying over those
deserted villages. Many times there
js not even a stone left, but just
gray oust, some weeas, ana mere
is a sign on a broken telegraph pole
telling where the village stood.
Trenches are half filled with barbed
wire Jeft at places. It still looks
s& it did during the fighting heaps
of shells, broken wagons. There is
no roof left to the cathedral the
columns sem to reach the slcV. thrv
all were mined and ready to be
blown up. Why I don't under
stand. Nobolv could have rlimhrd
tb the top to see in the distance.
It is almost falling to pieces and
can not be saved or rebuilt.
"We went to the churchyard. All
the graves are opened, the family
vaults were searched, the lead cof
fins stolen.-the bones are there in
neaps." AM the stoves were taken
from the houses into the .streets
also in heaps with sewing machines
and since over two years they were
leit to rust, in every house there
are heaps of mud, of bricks. The
question of cleaning., the city and
those ruins is one of the hardest
problems. The water, supply was
cut all the pipes taken, holes dug
deep in the ground by shells, all the
electric wires were taken."
While the motto of the guild has
bejen "Give at Home," the organiza
tion feels th-t this is a time of
disaster and that humanity is. hu
manity at heme or abroad and that
they should assist in the adoption
of St. Quentin. ,
All members of the local branch
will be appealed to by their 'direc
tors in the near future, not for
garments as for our local distribu
tion, but for money, an amount as
great as each member feels able to

to Mrs Stewart, chairman of the
war relief department of the guild,

garments or household linen or sew-
Miss Doria Fernanda Quite a
Social Favorite During
San Carlo Week
By ADELAIDE KENNERLY.
Quite the social favorite of the
week was Miss Doria Fernanda of
the San Carlo Opera company,
whose beautiful, mezzo-soprano
voice touched the sympathetic chords
of music lovers in the various roles
which she sang during the week,
beginning with "Suzuki" in
"Madame Butterfly.' Miss Fernan
da, being a personal friend of Mr.
and Mrs. E. O. Ames, washonor
rnctc at tra rhnrnlate and toffee-
fests between acts, both on and off
the stage.
TTnliL manv ntVir fiintrors Miss
Doria doesn't "struggle" for suc
cess. She-assures us that her work
has been such a pleasure that no
thought of struggle entered into it.
"I was brought up on printers' ink
and music," she laughingly says,
"and don't know-which I like the
better. My mother was a newspa
per woman for many years on the
west coast I have been trying to
sing since I can remember."
Echoes from behind the scenes of

should enjoy tamny me, ana, iikc
most large families, there are quar
rels, good times and bad tmes
among them, until an outsider
"throws a rock." Then they are all
of one mind "for the San Carlo
singers."
"Why," said Miss Fernanda, "I
understand that we hold the record
for marriages, there having been 10
already. Mr. Rossini was quite sur
prised to learn that his young wife,
who is with the Chicago Opera com
pany, was suing him for divorce.
He declares he knows nothing about
his abnormal fondness for spaghetti
and garlic." ... .
, Being so calm, so sensible and
generally well informed on many
subjects, we ventured to ask why
singers, as a rule, were of one mind
that singing was the only worth
while profession. We were inter
ested to find one so successful, and
yet so entirely free from the charac
teristic ' irritability, and frankly
sought her opinion.
"There are two reasons just
two,'' she assured us. "One is pose.
They try to be freakish according to
tradition. The other is, that any
professional person, such as singer,
actor, author wherever, their work
is drawn from themselves without
'blocks to work with is under a
nervous strain. They overwork

without realizing it, because they
are so intensely interested. Then
they snap. Some laugh, some cry,
but most of them display temper.
It is really more temperament than
temper, because it is always the re
sult of a snap of some sort, and they
are never angry for more than a
few minutes. It isn't necessary for
me to 'snap' very often, because I
am not nervous. I do not work
hard enough and cannot pose. I
tried it and know. But I have great
sympathy for those who do snap."
And now that opera week is over
and Miss Fernanda and all the rest
have gone, we wonder if, after all,
she will not be a prima donna long
after the nervous, erratic strugglers
have gone by the wayside and
swelled the ranks of the hasbeens.

vDr. J. H. FRANCIS. '
No two children are alike, not
even twin sisters. Any effort to make
them, so is wicked and wasteful
Courses of study administered to
all children in the same way are de
structive of originality and initia
tive. .Uniformity of treatment is
deadly and deadening.
Every normal child has possibili
ties in some things. To help him to
discover and develop them is the
greatest service society can render
him and itself. To study about a
child is not to know, the individual
child. Traditions, customs, precon
ceived notions of habit and conduct
must be subordinated if not elimin
ated, while studying the child.
Fraternize jyith him, associate with
him, be a good fellow with him and
study him. But do not let him know
that you are doing this.
ihere is no other study so, fas
cinating, so absorbingly interestisg.
Study him. He will surprise you
ever day with what he knows and
can do. Really,- he will teach you
some things worth knowing, that js,
if you are in a mood to learn.
First of all the child is a little
animal. He needs food fit to eat,
clothes fit to wear, and a house fit
to live in. But he is also eminently
spiritual and needs spirits fit to as
sociate with.
The child learns as naturally as
he eats or grows. Thus he needs
mental good. Also, if he does not
thrive on that found in the home or
school, change his mental diet. It
will do him good and may help. you.
Fear is one of the most withering
curses of all ages. Don't try to scare
him. Cultivate his hope, faith, cour
age. He will need these qualities
later; The fact that they are rare
does not lessen their value.
Theater Parties.
Society, judging by the number of
reservations already made, will fore
go its Lenton vows on next Thurs
day afternoon in order to attend the
joint engagement of the Pavley
Oukrainsky Ballet and the Littell
Symphony orchestra at the Brandeis
theater at 3:00 p. m.
Parties will be given by the fol

Mitchell, 'Mrs. Andres . Peterson,
Miss L. Gwinn, Mrs. Walter Silver,
Miss Edith Tobitt, Mrs. Frank Shot-
well, Miss Duell, Mrs. A. V. Kinsler,
