e THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1915. Society By MELLIFICIA, T WOULD seem that Omaha girls Thursday, December 9, 1915, are more than making an excellent representation in eastern colleges, both in their numbers and their work. Miss Euphemia Johnson, principal of Brownell Hall, returned Tuesday from an itinerancy that included visits to all the woman's colleges of note. The object of Miss Johnson's journey was to learn from personal investigation the policies of the different colleges, to see how her former pupils were doing at college, and to make arrangements for next year for ' the entering of Browell Hall girls in Mount Holyoke, Vassar, Wellesley, | Smith, Bryn Mawr, Barnard and Radeliffe, At a conference where nine fashionable schools were represented Miss Johnson had an excellent opportunity to study the foremost ‘‘finishing” schools. At Miss Johnson’s own college of Barnard she had a delightful visit and meeting with {riends. At Vassar Miss Erna Reed entertained at tea for Miss Johnson, as- sisted by other Omaha students, Miss Margery Smith was hostess at a tea at Bryn Mawr, given in honor of her former principal, and Miss Margery Swett, formerly of Omaha, was hostess at an afternoon affalr at Betrothal Announcement. Mr, and Mrs. Myron R. Williams of Springfield announce the egagement of thelr daughter, Marion Virginia Wil- liams, to willlam Francis Willlams eldest son of the Rev. John Willlams of Omaha. The wedding Is to take place next summer. It was while at a college function in Cambridge that the young people met and a mutual friend jokingly referred to the similiarity of the names when in- troducing them, saying that here were two persons with but a single name. The groom-to-be graduated from Har- vard college in 1911, and Miss Willlams will graduate from Radecliffe college next June. She is subscription manager of the college paper, the Radcliffe Naws, which Put & new beat over the metropolitan press by first announcing the young people’'s betrothal. Yuletide Tea Room.

A new nelghborhood drama circle has Been the outcome of the revived interest in the drama in Omaha as well as else- where. One of the most telling incidents of the new circle Is the fact that it formed itself, making a class without wolicitation for membership or any attempt At organization. It ls starting with a membership of twenty, under the leader- ship of Miss Kate McHugh, and will meet Wednesday morning with Mrs. Warren Blackwell, | Mrs. Brogan's Guest. Mrs, Elwood C.

Woman Who Has Been Over War Zone Speaks Here Monday The impressions gained by an American woman, Mrs. Hilda M, Matthey of Dav= enport, Ia, in her travels through the war gones of Rast Prussia and Belgium, will be shared by her with the residents of Omaha on Monday evening at the Omaha usikverein hall, Feventeenth and Ca treets. Here she will dell: or her {llustrated lecture, “My Ejyperiency in the War Zores."” Mrs. Matthey is the only American woman privileged by the imperial govern- ment to travel through the war zones of East Prussta and Belglum. Her husband, o leading physiclan and surgeon of Iowa, has since the war been In charge of o miitary hosplital at Allenstein in East Prussia. During her six month's tour of Ger- many and Belglum, she made a closs study of existing conditions. She viewed the terrible havoe wrought by the big Dbatties, visited the trenches all the way to the Russian border and part way into that country, visited hospitals, prison camps and various other institutions now playing an important part in German life by reason of the war. Prepare to Join the Pet Stock Club The city hall is becoming quite a cen- ter for pets—not political pets, but such pets as goldfish, plgeons and cats. In the comptroller's office Blanche Manning has trained a goldfish to eat out of her hand. This particular plsca- torial pet has been named Hans. The fish seems to recognize the sound waves which make up its name. Hans has an intelligent face and very black ey Maud Davies, custodian of the corre. epondence In Commissioner Kugel' office, has found a feline friend. This cat strolled into the city hall a foew days 4go, 80 hungry that it looked more ltke an: Xeray plcture than a real oat. Miss Davies ordered a pint of milk every day and now the cat looks prosperous. Goodley F. Brucker, chief clerk in the street cleaning and malntenance depart- ment, has fitted out a window box for plgeons, which feed every day and look in through the window as iIf to thank their benefactor for the nice ocracked corn which s supplied. Bunice Ensor, supervisor of extension work of the public achools, has an office on the fifth floor. A mouse visits her every morning, scampering hither and thither, becoming more tame every day. Swimming Pool for City Commissioner Hummel has ar-. ! the Dundee Folks' ranged with the water department for OMAHA WOMEN 70 GALL ON WILSON President to Receive Anti-Suffrage Delegation, Including Three from Here Tuesday.

One of the newest features of goldsmithing is green gold. This gold is described as fifteen karat fine, made necessary by the alloy. Jewelers explain this process by saying It takes fifteen parts of pure gold mixed with nine parts of alloy to obtain the green tint, and the alloy must be of cer- taln metals to blend with the gold. The stamp of approval has been placed upon this new color gold by makers of style. The brooch has again come in the helght of popularity, jewelers say. To a considerable extent it has replaced the long bar pin, “We welcome the return of the popularity of the brooch, as it is the most practical ornament In the mat- ter of pins ever used,” sald a jeweler, Jewel are showing more new items this Christmas season than for several years past. The tendency in the gift line is to make the gift a personal af- alr, and mission jewelry is filling the need in this respect very well, jewelers say, Open Discussions atJ acksonian Club The Jacksonion club, the oldest demo- cratic organization in Nebraska, will in the future devote its regular Saturday evening meetings to discussions of ques- {at the Beth Hamedrosh synagogue.
