Miss Eugene Patterson, daughter
of D. c. Patterson, returned to
Omaha Tuesday morning after two
years spent with the Red Cross as
a nurse in the Philippines, Siberia
and Czecho-Slovakio. Two months
ago she arrived in New York, and
there, as she spoke the language of
the Czechs and Slovaks.> she was
put in charge of a War Camp Com
munity center, where 100 men from
that foreign land were being fitted
with new limbs by the American
Red Cross. Following her release
she went to Chicago, where she Wis
tied her sister, Mrs. Livingston
Fairbanks, for five weeks.
While with the Red Cross Miss
Patterson was stationed in many
countries, thus having the oppor-
tunity to travel. She has visited in
Russia, Japan, China, India, Egypt
and Italy. At each place Miss Pat
terson was given leave to see OBJ
jects which are of interest to the
tourist.
Although Miss Patterson has just
returned to Omaha, she has already
made plans to continue in recon-
struction work, having been &C
cepted by the Y. M. c. A. a short
time ago. At the present time it
is not known whether or not wo-
men will be allowed to do this work.
If they are she may be called with
in a month.
Miss Patterson is very enthus-
iastic over her work and plans to
continue it indefinitely.

Society

NrrISTS from dreamland seemed
MI to float before our eyes
As4 Nbringing with them the dainty
fairy creatures known as the Marion
Morgan dancers. Who could have
believed that they were anything
4 but creatures of the realm Of Pan!
! Their beauty and grace was that OF
the naiads and the nymphs, who dis
I ported themselves on the banks OF
! the Tiber before the temples OF the
mighty gods. :. =,
But, could you have been behind
the scenes at the Orpheum fol-
lowing their performances you
would surely have known that
they were just honest-to-good-
ness American girls. Cries OF Wa
ter. more hot water" came from
1 their dressing rooms. Others were
calling for "A bar of soap, please,
to remove the makeup which they
wore during their dances.
These 20 maids are mostly from
Los Angeles or western coast. They
]. are girls who have not had a great
deal Of training under teachers other
than Marion Morgan. For two
months before the production of the
ballet they trained constantly under
the watchful eyes of their teacher
from whom not the slightest detail
might escape.
Miss Morgan is deep student OF
statuary, literature and history, from
which she draws the material for
her ballets. In this, her greatest
work, she has chosen the plot fur
nished by the Hun ruler, Attila, a
barbarian filled with hate and greed.
The scenery, the costuming and the
dances were all originated by Miss
Morgan.
The ballet is so carefully planned
7 that it is difficult to believe that the
dancers are not the maidens whom
they portray. What different
story it is behind the scenes! There
the theme is not of the Roman
maiden Illdica, but of Hot water
and some soap"

Today
The world is gray
A sad and sorry place
For US to live.

The idea" in sending me
To earth
To suffer and to sin.

Amounts to naught-
Fame has been
A sorry jest
A hollow mockery
A grinning skull
Through whose picked bones
There turks
Another tale to tell
About success.
The world would not listen
Even if | told the truth
That after all
Its Happiness
And not applause
That leads the fight
And wins fat Cupid's
Croix de Guerre.
Happiness!
All me!
And what have I
| who work and struggle
Toward
The rainbow's end
Whereat there hangs
No pot of gold
Or even consolation.
| know that Life
Is hardly worth the living
That victory is-at best
But half-pay for the strife.
Why be such fools as we
Who fight and starve
For spiritual blessings!
There are none
Sometimes l think
The dead all live.
Such foolishness!
Some say that suicide
Is sin.
What sin is there
To end ones earthly
Misery.
Tonight

No-not that.
Poison is so hideous.
III place my tiny pistol
To my heart
And stop its beating
No-this is better.
I'll fling myself
Into the rapids
Just below the fails
That's 1.-THE Falls!

On second thought

A day or two
For tomorrow

A rubber garden apron Is a great

Use raw peanuts for sailing when

To clean copper rub it with a

An electric vacuum cleaner expe-

A row of screw hooks above the

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: !
am now just like the rest coming
to you for advice. Some time ago
I had the greatest misfortune OF all
my life when l lost my mother. I
am 1S years old and have been
doing house duties for the last four
or five years.
Now. Miss Fairfax, what I would
like to know is this: Do you think
it Is possible for me to secure po-
sition in which could work at home
after my house duties are done?
In the hope that you can give me
some advice, I am as ever and Will
be. A MOTHERLESS CHILD.
You haven't told me just what
you can do beside housework. If
you knit well you might be able to
take orders for sweaters, or II you
are a good needlewoman there are
many avenues open to you. Why
don't you learn to make pretty
bags, everyone carries them and /
am sure you could receive many or
ders If you would just ask your
friends. Sometimes scraps of rib
bon and silk that you have on hand
with the addition of an ivory top
and a silk tassel make the loveliest
of bags.

A certain romantic interest attaches to those visitors from outer space which we call meteors and of which millions enter the earths atmosphere every 24 hours.
 There is a mystery about them. What do they signify? Whence do they come? Are they fragments of comets CT what?
 The infinite spaces of the universe must be full of them, apparently. Star-dust is not inappropriate name for them Some of them travel in multitudinous feclls. and when the earth passes through. one of these we observe shower of falling stars.''
 Early~in August of every year we pass through swarm of meteors. and at intervals of i33 years the earth plunges into 6 much. greater flock. These meteoric streams move in clip tieaI orbits around the sun;
 E When the famous comet of Biela failed to turn up at the advertised date in 1872 astronomers declared it prob ably had gone to pieces and predicted a great shower of Shooting stars" The sheer arrived and meteorites which presumably were pieces of the comet were picked up in Mexico.
