Hotel Fonte- Mrs. Mrs. Leigh Leslie, circle, Miller Park Mrs. r HE fine arts, which occupy the center of the stage in local women's organizations this week, will find a ready enthusiast in Mrs. E. M, Syfert, the new president of the Omaha Woman's club. Mrs. Syfert ie secretary for the Omaha Drama league, and is a member of both the Omaha Soclety of F'ne Arts and the Tuesday Morning Musical club, the largest art organization of the city. Mrs. Syfert is also a member of the Assoclation of Collegiate Alumnae, But it is with the Woman's club, which she now heads, that Mrs. Syfert has been particularly ident!- fied for the last seven years. For two terms she was secretary of the organization and her election as vice president was unanimous, She has served as treasurer of the current topics department, asso- ciate leader of the literature department and has been active in the oratory work of the club, Mrs. Syfert was for two years a member of the program committee of the Nebraska Federation of Women's Clubs and at the last convention in Nor- folk was nominated for state recording secretary, but declined to be a candidate. As Miss Laura Belle Maulick, before her mar- riage, Mrs. Syfert organized the geography work in the first departmental work instituted in the Omaha public schools, at the Long school. Previ ously Mrs. Syfert taught in the elementary school of the Chicago university under Dr. Jackman. With so capable a leader, the members of the Woman's club look for the accomplishment of big things and for the carrying out of the splendid plans outlined by the late president, Mrs.. N. H. Nelson, prime among them the penny lunch for Train school children, Cognizance will also be given to Mrs. Nelson's request that some feature of the exhibit planned in comnection with Baby Health week in March be made permanent. Mrs. K. R, J. Edholm, who is the Nebraska representative of the federal children's bureau, an- rounces that the circulars and material sent out lmst week will probably be better fitted for use throughout the state. In Omaha and Lincoln, how- ever, there will be week-long exhibits jointly financed by the Woman's clubs of the two cities. There will be other programs given by various organizations during the week of the exhibit, the details of which will be announced later Additional Club News on Page Four NOTHER daughter of wealth, bred in the lap of luxury, has decided definitely to carve her own career. She is Miss Leola Brandeis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur D. Brandeis, who seeks the ful- fillment of happiness in the field of letters. The crisp orders of the editor, the lure of the trail for news to feed the insatiable hunger of the reading publ'c; the click-clack of typewriters in Lusy newspaper offices just a few minutes before press time; the Inky smell and the noisy racket o' the composing room—all this spells joy infinite te the young Omaha girl. 4 Although yet a senior at Vassar college, Miss Brandeis has already had signed articles published in “Life” and other well known periodicals, and the current edition of the Vassar Monthly contains several articles from her pen. After graduating, Miss Brandeis plans to take a special course of six weeks at Cornell and then will enter upon the two-year course in journalism at the Columbia college for budding newspaper genluses. “The Liberty Bell,” the inspiration for whick came while Miss Brandeis was at the San Franecisec fair when the Liberty Bell was exhibited, is a great OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY Odor of Printer’s Ink Lures Her favorité with the father of Miss Brandeis, Omaha's merchant prince and a prince of merchants, as those who glory in the metropolitan airs the city is taking on, will attest, “THE LIBERTY BELL." “It rested there proudly, on a Persian rug, roped off from the little crowd of spectators who were surrounding and admiring it respectfully. The day before, when it had arrived, people had crowded up and kissed it in a wild frenzy of patriotism, but now they had calmed somewhat, and were content to recall to each other that great day long ago, when it had rung out its glad call, warning the nation that freedom was at last at band. A noble relle, truly, but-—what a pity—cracked! ““Across the fair grounds in one of the exhibi- tion buildings was a booth, stifling hot, and piled 80 high with overalls that there was scarcely room for the sightseers to pass along its narrow aisles. However, they did squeeze in somehow, and stood crowded close, not to look at overalls, but to see their manufacture. For in a narrow slit hemmed in by machines, spectators and overalls, sat twelve girls, pretty, all of them, sewing In a frenzy of haste. “It was a fascinating occupation, watching THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE them; buttons, buttonholes, suspenders, pocket: seemed to appear out of nowhere and jump into place of their own accord. And it is so pleasant to stand idle and watch others work, even though the watcher be subjected to heat and noise angd the close unpleasantant odor of too many human belng: wuch too near. “Suddenly above the confucion of crashing ma chines came the clear, ringing chimes of a nearby clock striking 12, On the last stroke the machines stopped magically, the girls rose and stretched, and the people passed out slowly, casting regretful eyes on the interrupted work. Some of the late-comers felt cheated that the show had stopped so soon. One of the girls unwrapped a newspaper parce] filled with lunch. BShe rested her back against the machine—her stool had no back to it—and sighed, a long-drawn, luxurious sigh of pleasure. ‘Huh!’ she said to her neighbor, in a deep gutteral, thick with foreign accent, ‘That’s the real Liberty Bell, aln't 1t?’ “Her neighbor—an American-—looked at her with startled eyes. ‘What a hell of a joke!’ she ex- claimed. “But it wasn't the joke she objected to, “LEOLA BRANDEIS, 1916." \ \ Pt R o s PART TWO SOCIETY PAGES ONE TO SIX cory FIVE Letters SOCIETY _Social Calendar Creighton University Mixers club dance at Chamber's academy, Entertainment for Comus club members' hus- bands_given by Mr, and Mrs. J. .

George Bernhard OR THE coming social week there are high« brow affairs galore, and one might think it was Boston and not Omaha, Talks on art, discussions on art, architecture, the prose of the seventeenth century, eriti- cism and the return of the delightful Powys, There are bridges, dinners, dances, mere affairs of play edged in between, but even over the Mon- day Morning Musical club’s recital at the Fonte- nelle Tuesday afternoon the exhibit of the Fine Arts soclety is the event of the week, Wednesday evening is the opening reception and private view for members of the Fine Arts soclety, the friends of art and the officers of other art clubs in the city. During the exhibit prominent matrons in groups of ten will serve as hostesses in the gallery. This arrangement is under the management‘of Mrs. George Bernhard Prinz. The recelving committee is composed of Mes dames Charles T. Kountze, Halleck Rose and J. E. Summers. One of the interesting features of the whole affair will be the reception teas at the Fontenelle at which the following matrons will be hostesses: Mrs, Charles T. Kountze, Mrs, George Bernhard Prinz, Mrs, Ward Burgess, Mrs. Moshler Colpetzer, Mrs. Luther Kountze, Mrs. J. E. Summers, Mrs. Harry Tukey, Mrs. Joseph Barker, Mrs. Samuel Burns and Mrs, O, C. Redick, But this is beginning to read like an account of the New York Horse show, where it is the ocou- pants of the boxes and blue book entries which are more discussed and in view than the beauties on the tanbark.
