Knows "the New
Map of Europe
A New York Painting Here
One woman at least in Omaha
knows the new map of Europe, Miss
Libbie A. Breucr, secretary for the
Czecho-Slovak consulate for this
district which comprises, exclusive
of Illinois, all states west of the
Mississippi, the Hawaiian and Phil
ippine Islands and Alaska. Stanley
Serpon is the consul.
Miss Brcuer has been in Omaha
since January 1, when the consulate
was opened here. The business of
the department includes vise cf pass
ports, various kinds of investigations,
settlement of insurance and property
cases, etc. Miss Breauer, who speaks
Bohemian fluently and reads Ger
man, Spanish and Latin, does all
translation for estates. ,
She .is a Phi Beta Kappa from the
University of Texas at Austin and
has done post graduate work at the
School of Philanthropy and Civics
in Chicago and the University of
Nebraska. She travelled in Europe
in 1914 and has been wtih the Red
Cross educational department in
Seattle and the United Charities in
Chicago.
Miss Breucr's typewriter is
equipped with Bohemian type. If
she speaks to you of Prague, capi
tal of Bohemia, she will pronounce
it with a long "a," as in pray. The
"ah" sound so frequently heard giv
en the word is German, and the
Bohemians do not like it. Their
own word ' for Prague, the city of
a thousand spires, sometimes called
"golden Prague" and considered by
many one of the four most beautiful
cities of the world, is Praha.
Unwise investments are the great
est danger the Bohemians have here
and. the consulate does all possible
to protect against them.

Red Cross in New York City,

By LETA MOORE MEYER.
Through Mr. John I.te 'cbter
the Ainlie Galleries of Fifth avenue,
New York, have tent at a Joan to
the Friends of Art a very large pic
ture in oil. "Voseinite alley," by
Thomas Hill. It is now hinging
ou the third floor at the library, with
special lighting, where it will be for
several months.
All artits know that the most
difficult things in nature to paint are
mountains and few attempt such
subjects. They are too huge, too
majestic to put on canvas. The pic
tu re of the Grand Canon, by F. S.
Church, which hung in the old
Lenox library in New York, was
perhaps the best of them, but it did
not have the atmosphere and spirit
of the scene which this picture po-
5CSCJ. '
i Not entirely successful here, per
haps, still we must give Mr, Hill
credit for making even a partial
success with an almost unpaintable
subject, which it took much cour
age to attempt. -That feeling of
awe-inspiring immensity, of things
too big to grasp or understand until
they seem to be coming down upon
us and crushing the very life out of
us and we want to flee away from
them to some place where their
tragic power can be forgotten this
is known to every thoughtful person
who has ever lingered in their fast
nesses, except those who are so fas
cinated by them that they can never
be happy anywhere else.
.these things the artist has got
ten into his work here. Then the
feeling of the clouds . below the
peaks, crouching before their con
querors, while blue sky and sun are
serene above even their greatness is
also well portrayed. The contrast
between the mountain trees and the
light parts is fascinating, reminding
one somewhat of the way the great
Frenchman, Puvis de Chavannes,
who U often called the greatest of
all masters of design, ucd similar
trees in his mural.

A Woman's Sympathy
The soothing voice and the
gentle touch of a woman's

much to lighten the pain of
parting. An experienced lady
