A, Hobbs leave the middle a few of the charitable things which keep busy the members of the Christ Child society, This society was or- anized about ten years ago by Mrs. f). C. Stapleton, who is soon to leave the city. At a meeting of the execu- tive board, which includes thirty mem- bers, yesterday morning at the Christ Child center plans for the year were roughly mapped out and some com- mittees appointed. 1 Of these committees the most in- geresting was the one composed of Mesdames A. V. Kinsler, Arthur Keeline and W. A, C. Johnson, who are to provide Christmas toys for really deserving families. Mrs. F. B. Aldous is chairman of the visiting committee. Anyone who contributes to the society is considered a mem- ber, but active members arc those who actually work in the organization. Perhaps the most extensive work is the teaching of sewing, which is car- ried on by members oFlhc society and their friends who volunteer. Classes sre conducted at St. Philomena's school every Saturday morning and at the settlement house sometimes during the week. Among the volun- teer teachers are Misses Margaret McShane, Mary Furay, Mary Burkley, Margaret anhman.Julia Mullen and Mary Cotter. Mrs M. R. Murphy, the present active president of the society, heads the list of matrons who teach. Mrs. Arthur Mullen and Mrs, F. J. Despecher are other teachers. h year the organization makes three dozen sets of infants’ garments. ‘There are always calls for that many sets in really worthy and destitute families in Omaha. gometimu there is call for more. The next meeting will be held the first Tuseday in De- cember and at that time the newly- appointed committees will make re- ports.

The ranks of the Bridge club, which was known last year as the Tuesday Debutante Bridge club, have been sadly depleted by Cupid. Miss Char- lotte Callahan was the first member lost, Miss Hariet Metz, now Mrs. Will Schnorr, was the next, and Miss Alice Jaquith and Miss Lucile Bacon are the latest to marry away. Mrs. Will Schnorr is the only married member still living in town, The club met this afternoon with Miss Eugenie Patterson, Miss Elizabeth Reed and Miss Josephine Congdon substituted for the members of the Caldwell-Vinsonhaler wedding party, who were unable to be present.

Slie is a charming, dark-eyed girl who has a cafeteria in New York. She is a slender, soft-voiced, gentle- mannered girl of the kind you might expect at a fine tea, a house party, or the opera. She is the kind of girl who likes a good book, good pictures, good plays, good conversation, She is the kind who likes pretty, well- chosen frocks. She would enjoy an automobile tour. She would be happy in a town house, with a country house and a yacht in anticipation for next summer. But she has wasted no time coveting the things which are not hers, She has smiled, put on a neat blue-serge gown and gone to work. She has gone to work, Of necessity, you may be sure, for she would have preferred to avoid balancing a ledger of her own. This girl would have followed easily the path of charge accounts and no worries,~1 do not know what circumstances made it necessary for her to keep her own book of expenses.

At any rate, she has had. the walls of a loft building painted a soft yel- low, has placed yellow awnings at the windows, has ‘arranged the yellow and blue cushions on seats to coax sunshine into the dark corners, has had little round tables painted gray, has placed a little gray desk with the invitation above, “Write your letters here,” in a bright corner, She has thought out simple, nour- ishing menus for each day and has saved waitresses’ wages by letting the .

I go there for luncheon now and then and come away refreshed and admiring. Some day I may invite a society friend to join me at the little yellow cafeteria. I wonder if it will teach her the same lesson it did me? The uptown friend lives in a soiled, shabby, little studio and thinks she paints. Perhaps she doés. Personally I doubt it. Nor have I ever met any- one who has a different opinion, ex- cept herself. I believe with all my heart in following the beckoning finger of special aptitude. If anyone has a talent let her cultivate it and give the world the benefit of it. But isn't there another duty? Isn't it our first duty to ourselves and to! society to earn a living?

I am sure that pretty girl who runs the cafeteria would like to paint pictures. She has artistic talent in some degree, for she has made a thing of beauty of the loft room that she has turned into a cafetetia. But her eyes are never clouded nor her smile dimmed by regrets.

Who has not known some house- hold in which the husband and father kept his trembling family in order by means of the great silent grouch? Some days he will come home for din- ner, or down to breakfast, with a face as grim and unsmiling as death. Some- | thing is wrong. He eats and drinks in silence, refusing even to ask for what he wants. He reads his paper with a portentous dumbness that | strikes terror into his wifé's bosom. The Silent Grouch is Always Proud that He Never Says Anything in Anger. | Finally some one screws up courage enough to ask what is the matter. Is he ill? Has anything gone wrong? Has the wife done anything to offend him? Have the children? To all queries he responds “nothing,” it a tone of voice that indicates the uni- verse is out of gear, and that arraigns everybody in the house, from the baby up, to having criminally conspired against his happiness and peace and comfort. Such a man always takes great credit for never saying anything when he is mad, but he would be less brutal if he smashed the furniture and swore @ blue streak. A wife cdn deal with a red-hot, angry man, who says things and explain, but with a dumb one, she utterly helpless. She can't argu: with silence. She can only grit her teeth and endure what she knows to be an injustice and an outrage. Or perhapdit is a woman who uses that awful silence to club her husband into submission. He tells her that he can't afford some extravagance on which she has set her heart. She doesn’t argue or protest, or weep a few tears over it, after the normal manner of women, and then kiss and make up, and be pleasant again.
