"Your sailors are io pretty, much
V more attractive than those worn in
I Washington."
,Mrs. A. V. Arnold was the can-
teen worker who was addressed by
i Mrs. Wilson as she' stood jiear the
car.
I A bit of the military was evident
in the reception tendered Mrs. Wil
? son for she walked with the, presi-
dent between two loner lines of sol
diers, and canteen workers who gave
a lusty cheer as she enteed the
station.
True Parisian Costume.
Just back from Europe Mrs. Wil
son's costume was truly a bit Par-
isian. One might have expected
tailored smartness of dark blue but
i? instead tne wite ot the chiet execu-
J tive wore light blue voile, French
i hand embroidered, made with the
long lines and a tiny vestee of white.
r The sleeves were short and long
, black silk gloves were worn. A large
I nat oi black trimmed m blue silk
k ' and a white veil screened Mrs. Wil-
son's smile. Her extremely small
jcei were snou in wnue Kid pumps
I with beaded buckels of white.

The "Brownies" were also in evi

snapshot of the presidential party
for the family album.

over her hand. After a few words,
they hurried back to the car.
Hundreds of Nebraska's women
surged to creel Mrs. Wilson imme
diately after the president's speech
at the Auditorium. Mrs. Draper
. Smith, as chairman of the reception
committee, endeavored to keep the
receiving line moving, but the great
crowds must be closer to America's
first lady, and they climbed from
chair to chair
bench to reach
and from bench
Mrs. Wilson.

On the Presentation
Of Wilson Speech
Like always, again yesterday
The Bee "beat the town" on the
presentation of the Wilson ad
dress and visit in Omaha to the
public.
In the 12:30 edition, The Bee
carried a complete story of the
president's address, written by a
special staff writer. -
A complete story of the auto
mobile parade, and a three-column
picture of the president and
the first lady of the land, taken
by The Bee's staff photographer
shortly after the president ar
rived, also was carried in this
edition.
Every Incident of the presi
dent's visit was completely rev
ported by the small army of Bee
reporters and special feature
writers.
The Daily News printed less
than a column and a half of well
formed words, but hardly any
thing on the Wilson speech, and
the only news the paper an
nounced to their readers was an
eight-column headline reading.
"Auditorium Is Packed When
Wilson Speaks." i
The World-Herald carried only
three insignificant paragraphs of
the president's speech.
Two Virginians Meet.
"Sister Wilson, I want to shake
your hand," said Mrs. H. A. Aberly
of the G. A. R.
"I'm from Virginia, too."
"Are you? questioned Mrs. Wil
son, graciously, "I'm glad to meet
you."
As Mrs. Wilson moved to -pass
from the building, the women
streamed to the doors and windows
to cheer her. Many climbed over
the press table and it seemed as
though a panic was imrrfinent, but
Mrs. Wilson remained unruffled,
smiling and bowing despite the
crowds which pressed against her.
Arriving at the station the First
Lady paused outside the private car
to speak to Mrs. Luther L. Kountze,
who told her that she would find
roses in the car, sent by the Omaha
Woman's club. Mrs. Wilson
smiled and thanked her, but de
clined an invitation to inspect the
canteen at the station.
It was only a few moments, how
ever, until she entered the car where
she took off her hat and veil and
opened the numerous boxes of flow
ers which were sent to her. She
seemed to enjoy the blossoms, cares
sing the petals of the roses and read
incr the enclosed cards carefully. She
aho carried the bouquet of cosmos
and ferns which had been thrown in
the car on the way back to the train.
Chat With Spectators.
President and Mrs. Wilson en
joyed a little chat while the train
waited The president inspecting the
flowers with her and reading the
messages which came with them.
Mrs. Wilson glanced from the
window to smile at a little golden
haired girl who was lifted high in
her father's arms for a glimpse. Mrs.
Wilson's soft southern voice and her
extremely calm manner will always
be remembered by the Omahans who
met her. Her tones are very musi
cal and she hestitates between her
words with a bit of a drawl. She sent
a last flashing smile through the car
window as the train pulled out, and
waved her hand, a last goodby to
Omaha.

OPENING DAY SEES
25,000 CHILDREN
AT OMAHA SCHOOtS
Shortage of Places for Teachers
Live Causes
Anxiety.
The vast machinery of the Omaha
public schools was set in motion
yesterday for the coming year when
more than 25,000 children again
filled the school buildings with the
cheerful noise and bustle of their
presence and made the acquaintance
of "dear teacher" again. v
"The schools opened without a
hitch," declared Superintendent
Beveridge, who was at his office
soon after 6 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. About 1,100 Teachers Employed.
"We will, undoubtedly .have, a
much larger enrollment than in
any previous year, though .we
haven't the exact figures on hand.
We have about 1,100 teachers, which
is a greater number than ever be
fore." Dozens of teachers who were do
ing war work in Washington and
elsewhere are back in the school
rooms and therefore there is no
shortage in the supply of teachers.
The great shortage is in places
for the teachers to live. Scores o
pfecnxhaveTiot yet been able to find
permanent homes and have been
compelled to go to hotels tem
porarily. Hard tOFind Rooms.
Two young teachers who arrived
in the city Saturday night, were un
able to get even hotel accommoda
tions. They inquired at five hotels
before they finally secured a room.
Yesterday they were' shocked to
learn that the hotel where they
stayed has been raided by the mor
als squad several times in the last
year.
Extensive improvements have
been made in many of the school
buildings during the summer and
Superintendent Beveridge says they
are all in fine shape now for the
children. The most expensive im
provement is the addition of half
a block of ground to the playground
of the Lake school at Twentieth
and 'Lake streets.
