A, 7:45 p. m, HE Flag day parade broke the ice for many future demonstrations of the same §ort, it is averred by local clubwomen. “So many of us hesitated at first about making our- selves so conspicuous and walking down Farnam street with thousands of eyes leveled at us, and you know the old argument about it's being an unladylike procedure. But, really, it wasn't bad at all and perhaps we’ll have a suffrage parade of our own before long,” said one. While the representation of club women was not 30 great as expected, only 400 marched, there were many extenuating circumstances. Many of the club- women are older women to whom the march was a physical impossibility, while some of the younger women, on the other hand, had children who could not be neglected, no matter how patriotic the mother, Mrs. E, M. Fairfield, Mrs. Warren Rogers and others interested in the success of the women’s - pection of the parade, express themselves.as highly gratified with the spirit shown by the women marchers ‘While the active club season is on the wane, club- women do not all cease their activities with the ad- vent of warmer weather, As an evidence of “pre- paredness” for next year's. work of the vocational guldance bureau of the Association of Collegiate _ Alumnae, the college women will begin Monday to raise funds to carry on the work. ; 3 “Aschenbrodel” or “Cinderella,” which was given Thursday at Columbian school by the German pupils of Miss {Ielel Sommer, will be repeated to this end, Monday afternoon at 4 o’clock at the homesof Mrs. Edgar H. Scott. Miss Sommer herself arranged the lay so that it might be given by the children and Eer own violin students furnished the orchestral ac- tompaniment. 2 'he juvenile orchestra includes Matilda Faler, Leona Perlis, Rose Markman, Esther Brown, Jennie Leibowitz, Victor Davis, Morris Markman, Sam Sor- rine, Victor Eisler, lgorris eligsohn, Anna Zalko- witz, Reva Limsky, Harry Ravitz, Lydia Reed, Ed- ward Levenson and Hyman Berlint. s The German diction of the youthful Thespians was pronounced especially good by all who were present on Thursday. Mrs. Scott’s home is a large one and will accommodate at least 300 spectators. Ethel Gladstone is Cinderella and Francis' Mar- tin, Prince Charming. Helen Paulsen and Cornelia Baum are stepsisters; Ethel Brinkman, stepmother; Katherine Davis, fairy godmother; Russell Mattson, king; Sam Carlyle, doctor; Virginia Pearce, a courtier; Richard Young, a page; William Beindorff, father of Cinderella; Hortense Rosenstock, the queen; Henry A.

Tickets will be 50 cents for adults and 10 cents for children. What seems to give proof of the permanent establishment of the Society of American Widows is the branching out into other organizations. The Omaha widows are planning to hold a meeting for Council Bluffs widows at the Council Bluffs Young Women’s Christian association Friday evening of this week. Local temperance workers are interested in the Douglas County institute of the Women’s Christian Temperance union which will be held all day Thurs- day at the Young Men's Christian association.

Vi 7 3 O SOONER do. our Omaha. women write “Finis” to one activity than they are im- 4 mediately immersed in another undertak- ing more stupendous than the first, 3 Now that the production of “Sanc- tuary,” - Percy Mackaye's Bird masque | which was ‘given yesterday at Childs’ Point as a dedication for the Fontenelle Forest Reserve by the . Nebraska Audubon society, is 3 successful thing of the past, all attention is directed to the next big event on the calendar—the “society movie,” as it has been popularly christeneds : This “movie,” in which such well known Omaha..| persons as John Lee Webster, Frederick H. Davis, Ward Burgess, Mrs. Fred Hamilton, Mrs. Howard H. Baldrige, Miss Alice Jaquith, Robert Burns, Dick Stewart and a host of others appeared as screen artists, will be shown at the Boyd theater Tuesday and Wednesday, June 27 and 28, with a matinee on Wednesday, for the benefit of the Child Saving In- stitute. “One summer in Omaha” is the title of the film, in which will be shown scenes at the Country clubs, the homes of prominent Omahans and spots of beauty and interest throughout the city. Local in- terest is indeed strongly centered in this movie and will be counted upon to charm many dollars into the coffers of the institution for the homeless kiddies. With the zest for movies as strong as.it s, the ticket-selling committee, including Mrs, Charles T. Kountze, Mrs. A, L. Reed, Mrs. W. A. Redick, Mrs. E. L. Sprague and Mrs. Joseph Barker should meet with scant difficulty in distributing so many tickets that the “Standing Room Only” sign need be hauled out. ! Nor should the City Mission benefit be forgotten, Dr. Edgar C. Abbott of Boston is giving a series ol Shakespearian lecture-recitals at the Hotel Foni tenelle Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock an Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock in the interests o Miss Magee's institution. “Hamlet” will be his sul ject tomorrow and “The Tempest” the final subji Social interest on Wednesday will be divided tween the University club’s fi:lt{day at Ha; Hol: low, an all-day event, and the appearance g?{hud‘ Adams at the Brandeis theater. This oasis in the barren desert at the close of the theatricnl;uuolz will be especially delightful. Otherwise than this, June brides and given-iul honor affairs for them, a host of popular visitos and affair in honor of the J. H. Butlers and thei daughter and son, Miss Mildred and Mr. Will Butler, whose departure for Kansas Cjty to take u their residence will be keenly felt in the social ucch’y the pages of the sociak calendar. ) The spectacle of western girls carrying off all honors at eastern halls of learning is not unusual, and Omaha girls bear their share nobly. Miss M son’s school, The Castle, at Tarrytown-on-the-Hu son, in the Sleepy Hollow country, was the scene unusual conquest this_year on the part of O maidens. Miss Alice Rushton, daughter of Mr. ani Mrs~J. H. Rushton, carried off most all the offices there were to hold. She was president of the junio class, president of the German society and assistan editor of “The Drawbridge,” the school paper. Indeed, the trio of local young women who “The Castle” seemed to walk away with all the ors. Miss Helen Shepard, daughter of Mrs. C. 8 Shcgard and the late Dr. Shepard, served as: president of the jumior class with Miss' Rushto while Miss Gertrude Porter, daughter of the.J. B Porters, was president of the sophomore class, At Bradford academy, Bradford, Mass,, Naomi Towle was'graduated with honors last Mr. and Mrs, J. W. Towle and their daugl Marion, who is a last year’s graduate at Bra went east for the commencement exercises. Maurine Robertson,’ daughter of Mr, M&; 8 M.
