Delegates will lunch June 7 at the

the national league will conduct a
citizenship institute in which the
University of Nebraska is co-operating.
Olive Belden Lewis, national
speaker in the league, will discuss
'"World Disarmament," a subject in
which she has made special study.

Clarke and Miss Alfreda Post of
Columbus, Mrs. Correll of Hebron

Misused Terms.
Because the word gentleman has
been overworked so much it is a
word that is used with the greatest
caution by well bred people nowa
days. To call a man a "perfect gen
tleman" when you wish to indicate
that he is entirely well bred is al
most laughable nowadays, so greatly
has it been overworked. .So steer
clear of that remark.. It is test never
to use it when you wish to indicate
thereby that the man in question is
better mannered than or superior, in
any way to a mere man.
In a very few cases it is preferable
to the word man. For instance, a
servant would tell her mistress that
"a gentleman, who did not leave his
card called" in her absence. Man
in that case would sound a little
crude. Possibly a hostess would

Missionary Here
V & i
A
Miss Mary Butterfield is a mission
ary under the Christian and Mission
ary Alliance. Her field of labor is
Jerusalem, Palestine. Just now she
is on furlough, spending her time in
the. United States visiting friends and
speaking for missions. She calls
Pennsylvania her home.
Miss Butterfield has been a guest
at the W. W. Bradley home while
in Omaha this past week. She leaves
Tuesday for Kansas City, going
later to Nyack, N. Y., to attend the
Alliance council meeting. She will
speak Monday afternoon at the
Woman's Missionary federation at
the Y. W. C A. on the subject:
"The Tragedy of Womanhood in
Palestine."
May.
Come walk with me along this wil-
lowed land,
Where, . like lost coinage from
miser's store,
The 'golden dandelions more and
more
Glow, as the warm sun kisses them
again I
For this is Mayl who with a daisy
chain
Leads on the laughing hours; for
now is o'er
Long winter's trance. No longer
rise and roar
His forest wrenching blasts. The
hopeful swain,
Along the furrow, sings behind his
team;
Loud pipes the redbreast trouba
dour of spring,
And vocal all the morning copses
ring; '.
More blue the skies in lucent laker
lets gleam;
And the glad earth, caressed by
murmuring showers,
Wakes like a bride, to deck herself
with flowers 1

make the same remark to a guest,
though man would net sound so
abrupt in such a case. . But a man
would never ask a girl at a dance if
she knew the name of the gentleman
who just passed them. Men almost
never refer to each other as gentle
man when talking with women save
possibly'in connection with the term
old. A man would probably say
to a woman. An old gentleman
who I believe is your grandfather
just asked for you," rather than to
refer to him as an "old man."

By MRS. HENRY WYMAN.
The dedicatory exercises of the
colored branch of the Y, W. C A.,
under the chairmanship of Mrs.
Charles Offutt, Miss Frankie Wat
kins is executive secretary, were
held on Sunday, January 2, 1921.
Bishop E. V. Shayler made the ad
dress. Four hundred colored men
and women attended.
.Since that time the growth of the
work has been phenomenal. Classes
in dressmaking, domestic science,
millinery, physical culture and mu
sic have been well attended. Above
atl, the clubhouse has become a
'great community center for the
colored people, various groups meet
ing there every evening making for
the direct opening of a loyal com
munity spirit. A few beds are re
served on the upper floor for tran
sients in Omaha, a long-felt want
for colored girls, so the welfare
workers report.
The house committee of which
Miss Lena Paul is chairman and of
which. Mrs. T. P. Mahammitt is a
valued member, is planning a lunch
eon for Wednesday, May 25, at the
club house at Twenty-second and
Grant streets, to defray the expense
incident to screening in the porcrj,
which will make another available
room much needed in summer.
Mrs. Mahammitt's success and
wide experience as a cateress, as-
I sisted by the other women of the
house committee, insures a luncheon
that promises to be as delicious as
any ever served in Omaha, and the
capacity of the artistic little building
will be taxed to its utmost to ac
commadate those who have applied
for the 12 tables seating eight each,
all that can be comfortably taken
care of on this occasion. The fol
lowing: ladies have engaged tables:
Mrs. George Joslyn, Mrs, Luther
Kountze, Mrs. J. W. Towle, Mrs.
J. L. Kennedy, Mrs. Victor Caldwell,
Mrs. A. L. Reed, Mrs. F. P. Kirk
