Miss Peck, who formerly headed the drama section, General Federation of Women's Clubs, is now a member of the special committee of the big women's organization on better films and has been 'touring the country in the inter- ests of better films in all motion picture houses. Special “movies” for children is the most important work of Miss Peck’s colleagues and in this interest, Miss Peck has addressed mothers’ clubs, women'’s clubs and state teachers’ associations wherever these organizations congregate. The public health department of the general fed- cration has added to child hygiene, tuberculosis and social hygiene a fourth division called diseases of adult life. Under this head comes the study of cancer. At the recent convention of the Nebraska federation the following resolution was passed and the interest thus started among Nebraska club wonien “Where. cancer is now recognized as a con- trollable d and that the great mortality from same can be mat 1ly checked by inteiiigent observ- ance of the laws of health “And, whereas, the American Society for the Control of Cancer looks to the woman's clubs to disseminate information on this subject as an eco- nomic as well as a humane measure: “Fherefore, be it resolved: That this federation be placed on record as endorsing the aims and the educational work jof this society by pledging its moral support and whatever material help lies in the power of this organization to give.” \ In direct line with this is Dr. Faimer Findley's talk to the women on the work of the American Society for the Control of Cancer.

The bride has been showered with attentions night and day; each member of the wedding party has enter- tained for her, except those whose affairs are planned for the one remaining day, The debutante will be the occasion for a series of charming parties, which will occupy the week intervening before Thanksgiving holidays, with their jollifications for returning school folks, and the usual Turkey day fes- tivities. 5 ; The last week has been trying to everyone. No one seemed exempt from the excitement produced by a presidential election. Socicty was either inter- ested in its political menfolk or was kept in sus pense about some very interesting little transac- tions carried on outside its regular line. One could hardly find a society woman in town who did not have something at stake—a friend’s success, an inno- cent bet or some principle on trial, Tuesday evening of this week will occur the marriage of Miss Isabel Vinsonhaler, daughter of udge and Mrs, Duncan MacArthur Vinsonhaler, to Ar. John Hugus Caldwell, son of Mrs, Victor Cald- well, and a scion of one of Omaha's oldest and most distinguished families. The ceremony will be per- formed by Rev. Thomas J. Mackay at All Saint§’ Episcopal church, A reception at the home of the bride’s parents will follow. Miss Vinsonhaler will be the first of the three fall brides from the Country club set, who will live in Omaha.

Her exquisite coloring and grace l&d poise of carriage give Miss Connell great distinc- tion, while her amiability and personal characteris- tics make her a prime favorite with the older genera- tion, as well as her own set. Miss Connell attended the public schools and Sacred Heart convent in Omaha, then went east to Dana{Hall at Wellesley, Mass., and then to Miss Guild's and Miss Evans’ school in Boston. 'While at Dana Ha!l Miss Connell won honors for two successive years on distinction of appearance above all other girls in the school, Already the sogial calendar is dotted with given- in-honor affairs for this charming debutante, who is a linguist of ability as well. She speaks French and German dnd is an earnest musical student. With Miss Mary Munchhoff she will continue this winter the cultivation of a beautiful voice begun during her castern studies. s Connell's versatility is given the final test by her mastery of the knowledge of household arts, as well as her devotion to outdoor sports. Miss Margaret Dows of Cedar Rapids, a school- mate at Boston, comes Tuesday for the debut dance.
