Mr.. Powys to
Lecture
Nov. 3

Lecture seasons in Omaha would
hardly be complete without the ap-
pearance of John Cowper Powys.
who numbers among the first of the
lecturers to be presented this year
He will speak on the "Absurdity of
Optimism and Pessimism." under the
auspices of the Omaha Woman's
Press club Wednesday afternoon.
November 3, at the Hotel Fon-
tenelle, at p. m.
Mr.! Powys returned to the United
States only last month from Eng
land, where he spent the summer
months at his country home.
Since his return he has given 36
lectures and taken part in two de-
bates in New. York City. His lat
est book, "The Complex Vision" in
which he sums up the general out
line of his, own philosophy. has Just
been published and has received
much favorable comment from the
critics.
I Mr.. Powys calls himself "rustic
lecturer" and declares himself to be
countryman. He belongs to no
clubs and has never lived in the city
except for short time in Venice,
Italy, and New York. He is very
happily married to woman, who
like himself, has spent little of her
time in city. They have one son.
who is entering Cambridge Univer-
sity this year, the Alma Mater OF
his father
1t has been the opinion of many
Omahans that Mr.. Powys posed"
and that his mannerisms, ETC., were
for effect. However, Mr.. G. Arnold
Shaw, Mr.. Powys' manager and close
intimate friend. declares this to be
untrue and that he has never in his
experience known anyone who so
lacked pose or artificiality as Powys
and who is so thoroughly himself at
all times.
Tickets for the lecture of Mr..
Powys are on sale at Matthews
Book store. They may also be OBJ
tanned from any member of the
Press club or Mrs. Miles Greenleaf,
chairman of the ticket committee.
Mr.. Powys will be entertained at
luncheon when in Omaha. Miss
Belle Dewey, president of the Oma-
ha Woman's Press club, will pre-
side, and members of the club will
attend

A Midnight Drama

Have you heard of the Out-of-
Love club? The girls becoming
mothers at the rescue home are its
members. Many Of them, away
from the home for years, yet re-
turn on Sunday for dinner, prayer
and sympathetic communion with
the ones who are undergoing sor-
rows they know so we'll. Member

Who is Capt. Clara Palleson
who gave up her bed to the weary
childs Captain Palleson has been
in Omaha five years. She is a
graduate nurse from The Minneapo-
lis hospital. She has had a special
course in obstetrical nursing and
stands at the head of her profession.
She has received bona fide salary
offers of SOS a. week. But she has
dedicated her life, to the Salvation
Army and faithful to her trust, may
be found working day or night as
needed, for Sc week at the home.
There are no high-salaried officers
in the Salvation Army, the workers
say. The brigadier of this entire sec
ton of the United States, receives
$33 week.
DR.. S. McCleneghan and DR..
Floyd Clark are the expert physi-
clans who care for the cases at the
home. They are paid only in the
coin of gratitude, an exchange buy
ing many things which shining dol
lars from the government mints cam
not secure.
The Salvation Army drive, begin
ming October "a, and continuing one
week, is state wide. The budget
called for is $21o,OOO The Douglas
county quota is 100000. The money
will be used largely for two pur-
poses; First. to build a se1f-sustain-
ing lgirls' boarding home, sorely
needed in Omaha for the low
salaried girl without a home; and
second, to build a new rescue and
maternity home more suitable and
more nearly adequate for the needs
than the present one. The old
Saunders mansion at Sixteenth and
Sherman viii be used for the new
maternitys home, and the boarding
home will be located at Eighteenth
and Davenport streets.

A knock at the door of the Saliva
ton Army Rescue Home, Twenty
fourth and Spauld:ng, late last Mon
day night
The occupants Of the home were
| asleep, but the adiutant, ever alert,
heard and admitted the little stranger
who sobbed out her story of betrayal,
desperation and despair. Her age?
Sixteen. On the threshold of life!
Yet in her child arms there soon
will nestle a warm. soft, cling
ing form, all pink and white. That
beautiful coming Of life, the crown
of woman's glory, was for her only
a wreath ofithorns. Could she re-
main at the home? Would they
care for her protect her name and
let her keep her baby! Her whole
being quivered with intense emotion
as she poured out her story.
What would the adjutant's answer
be? The house was full; not one
bed to spare. W1uld they turn her
out in the blackness? No, for there
is always a way when hearts are
kind. Capt. Clara Pallesen, nurse,
arose and gave her bed to the little
conner of the night. 4
Such dramas occur frequently at
the Salvation Army home. Two
girls under 20 were admitted
this past week. Fourteen babies
are expected during the next
month and all the mothers under 20!
Thirty girls, altogether, are under
the sheltering rocf at present; the
oldest OF them %. They come, about
200 a year, from All parts of the
state. The girls do not give their
last names; no record is made, none
but the record of love and hope
which is written on their own hearts.
This is the only home of its kind
in the state, though there is mat
ernity institution at Milford sup
ported by public funds.
Until their babies are three months
old the me+hers remain at the Saliva
ton Army home. "This gives us
time" says Adjutant Lillian Ness,
ITO minister to their broken spirits.
We care for their bodies first"
When they leave they are backed
up by the Army" The home has
been in existence 23 years and in
its present location, II. In all that
time, not one case has been lost.

chinery children grow up without
contact with or knowledge of raw
Demonstrations of this
sort will give to the children, and
grown-ups as we'll, very complete
experience that will be highly edu-
cational. 1t will tend also to stimu-
late local interest and production.
It might even be the germ plasm for
an industrial school in Omaha"

woman gets her facials, something l
have always been curious about. The
very latest thing | heard was about
q ravishing divorcee who attended
Alexander's performance at the
Brandeis last week. It seems she
sent up her name to this mind read
er, asking him for the initials of her
next husband, signing her name
Betty
'Alexander in rapid-6re reply in
formed her that Betty was not her
name, though B was the correct in
itial. (This was true) He also said.
The young man you are with is
close second to some one else for
the honor of being your next hus-
band, but you next husband will be
a man you have not yet met
According to the conversation I
heard over the phone this young
woman was speechless and young
Mr.. &c. at her side, instead of be-
lieving his fate was sealed. took the
stand that Alexander might be
mind reader, but that he couldn't
possibly foretell the future"
