MEAT PACKER PLEADS GUILTY.
{. n. Van Oerwort Of Macbeth-6 ardaer
Company fined 500 for vi0lat- >
iaQ foodIaax.

c. H. Van Dervort, manager of the
Macbeth Gardner Packing compa
n.y., 200 West Michigan street, yester-
day afternoon: pleadedzguilty of the
charge of having in his possession
impure meat for sale, and was fined
500, the maximum amount allowed
by the law. by Judge Window in
municipal court.
The specific charge against him
was that he did wrongfully, unlaw-
fully and wilfully hold for sale, as
human food certain meat, to wit: 80
carcasses of mutton, which was not
then and there healthy, fresh, sound,
wholesome and safe for human
food, at a private market situated
at 2O6 West Michigan street"
J. Macbeth, senior member of the
firm, from the Mankato headquart-
ers, was present in court and took
lively interest in the proceedings.
He made counter charge of dis
elimination before Judge Window,
accusing Inspector J. H. Lee of fav-
oring certain dealers.
The defense gave as the reason
for entering plea of guilty, that
the firm is unable to have meat ex-
amined by experts so to determine
whether it is spoiled or not and thus
is not in position to produce such
evidence to the court. Inspector
Lee said in reply that he had antic.
ipated such a condition and when
the sheep were confiscated he had
six of the carcasses removed to cold
storage where they could be examin'
ed, but that no demand for such an
investigation was ever made upon
him.
No testimony except the state
ment of Inspector Lee was given in
the case. He maintained that the
meat was wholly unfit for food

Bride Should Invite Friends to
Visit in Her New Home

A brides friends always wish to see her
new home, and, however simple 1t may be
she should not fail to give one or more re-
ceptions, making them just as informal as
she chooses. If her place is small and her
friends many she will succeed better by
asking them few at a time, but taking
care that all shall know they are to be In
cIuded. The one drawback to this procedure,
which otherwise is so easy for hostess, is
that sometimes those, not asked at once
think they are to be left out entirely and
they resent it.
When she intends her at-homes to be in
formal the bride should write notes which
read something like this:
My Dear Mrs. Howard:
Mr.. Jameson and are asking just a few
friends for Tuesday evening, the 18th, to
help celebrate being in our new home. We
want so much to have you and Mr. Howard,
and hope nothing will prevent. We shall be
a very informal handful, who will fore
gather about $780, Most cordially,
MARY ELIZABETH JAMESON.
1t is not required that the hostess shall
provide any special form of entertainment
Omaha daily bee., 1910-07-29

for there will be so much that is new Tor
her friends to see that their inspection VIII
keep them busy. She should be willing to
throw open every portion Of the new home
and to point out wedding presents.
She should wear thin dress, cut out at
the neck, but not full dress.
Something to eat will be necessary. and
serving it will give the bride opportunity
to show her skill at arranging a table and
to use some of her presents. At this sea-
son it will be better to have cold supper,
though there is no reason why she should
not make something in a chatting dish II
she chooses. The guests should serve them
selves, it not being necessary to have
maid in the room.
If her house is large enough for the
hostess to ask all, OF her friends together,
she may send out visiting cards. writing
on them the line Thursday evening, Au-
gust rs, from 8 to H." The words Fat home"
are not needed Such cards need not be
answered until the evening set, but notes
should be responded to promptly, in kind.

Of encountering a nurse-maid with one of
the same pattern and perhaps a little more
so. But now our most sensitive dressers
are afraid to go out on Thursdays for fear
'of being Inundated Time was, too when
a milllonaire's naughty wife or daughter
could parade out with the very latest and
most annoying hat with a certainty that
it would be the talk Of the town for a
month and at least a year ahead of all
rivals. But now she is lucky not to dis
cover a counterpart on the head of an
ebony-hued dame the second time she wears
1t out.
For my part. I'm strong for servants
costumes on servants-as for instance, the
cute little outfits the stage maids wear in
musical comedies. Can you imagine a real
housemaid with dainty cap and knee length
skirt and sik-oh, well, 1 won't enumerate

and-all right, I'll quitl But fear me that
II the housemaids were held down to that
the employers wouldn't get so many looks

has gone so high that there is at least one
outfit left for women that the servants
won't drive them FROM"
What is that?" asked Friend Wife.
Aviation costumes-theyre high enough"

The Tired Business Man
BY WALTER A. SINCLAIR.

II suppose you read what that American
born baroness said about ,our servants
making the women here dress more ex-
travagantly," suggested Friend Wife.
She forgot to explain what inspires
those of us who have no servants" an
swered the Tired Business Man. But, on
the other hand there are a lot Of women
who can't afford to dress as floridly as
high priced servants and so it's a kind
of a stand-off.
II imagine IL we could know what every
woman thinks we would discover that she
is in favor of holding the servants down
to individual styles. That was once the
goods, even in this free republic. Back in
those gloomy days when the founders Of
our great nation were foundering-I mean
founding-and when they had such severe
democracy that nobody would want to put
UP with it now IL they could return to 1t,
1t was a law that no servant should wear
a garment which might be construed as
disguise of independence. Also PERSONS
not worth a certain sum were not allowed
to wear clothes costing more than another
certain amount. no matter II they had
good chance to grab such a suit and run,
Plumbers were not allowed to wear dia-
mords in those good, old. democratic days.
Seems to me L read somewhere that tho
spike tailed dress coat was first designed
for servants to designate them from the
swell herd Later the employing class
was impressed by the impressiveness OF
this absurd garment and adopted it, and
row the complaint goes up that the SER
want is adopting every garment that the
employer buys. The complaint however,
is pitched in a soprano key.
'Of course. my sympathes are entirely
with the indignant, free-born American
girl who became a titled foreigner. That's
one style that the servant girls aren't
coping off-coronets. Although they do
say that the statuesque Scandinavian scrub
lady who was discovered massaging floors
in Boston and hurried into the chorus,
where she looked stalwart and vacuous
enough to be the typical Gibson girl, could
have worn one of those gold and velvet
head achers If she had but arched her
eyebrows. So no wonder the cry for as
sistance.
Thine was when a lady of leisure could
appear in a 500 shirtwaist without danger

Man Rirda.

Ye Editor spent part of one
afternoon last week watching
the man birds. Most Of their
time was spent on earth, show
ing that they are very much
like other birds, who do more
roosting than they do flying.
Aviation is a fascinating
game. II reminds us Of what
the ChInee said about sliding
down hill: 'Zipl Walkee
mile"
Another drawback, demon
strated most forcibly, is that
for real success in aviation,
a peculiar sort Of air is
needed, and Omaha did not
have enough of it in stock.
This is much to be regretted,
for II the local air had been OF
the right quality, a really I'M
pressive show would have
been furnished.
1t is also proven that rail-
road stocks will be good to
hold on TO for a little while,
for most of the passengers and
freight Of the country will be
hauled in steam propelled cars
over rails for the next few
years.

Items Of Interest to the Women Folk

AS a sex, women have become used to
being called vain. 1t is so usual a term
that one scarcely stays to qualify 1t, yet
there is vanity. and vanity, the wisdom OF
which is entirely governed by the use or
misuse of the same.
An uncultivated mind never realizes the
depths Of pettiness 1t can descend to, or
how paltry vanity that is in no way gov
erned by common sense may appear says

Vanity, as the average woman under
stands the word, means the pleasure she
takes in the knowledge of her own partlcu-
la attractions. together with all the fem
mime prettiness adopted to Sc herself off
to the best advantage. There is, naturally,
