Society Marking Time; Red Cross
And War Relief Benefits Set Pace

If Nebraska weather behaves itself
that will surely prove attractive. We
shall have to 60 a much shorter dis
, tance than We did to the bird masque
last year and if it does rain we shall
be much nearer shelter. This is almost
the anniversary of Sanctuary" which
drew so many denizens of the town
out into the woods.
Brownell Hall commencement is
another social event on this weeks
calendar and that with the return of
many school folks is one of the Ger
tain signs Of approaching summer.
Just at this season, when June
brides are serving their first hard bis
cults to long suffering bridegrooms,
along comes the canning school to
teach them how to make delicious
canned and preserved fruit. The
trouble is that very few brides and
bridessoonto-be have registered for
the canning schools. Mrs. T. NJ. Sy-
fert, head of the commissariat depart
ment of the National League for
Woman's Service, who is boosting the
registration for the benefit of her or
ganlzation, deplores the fact each day.
Are all brides this month such splen-
did cooks that they need never rely
on bit of choice preserves to sweet
en- the bitter anger of the new hus-
band?
Anyone might know that Mrs.
Howard Baldrige is an expert at pre-
serving or that Mrs. Byron Clark's
canned fruit fairly make ones mouth
water, but these are the very mem
bers Of society who are taking an ac-
tive interest in the canning school.
They will take the preliminary course
along. with at least twenty other
prominent women in order that they
may later disseminate their knowledge
among the less fortunate.
Society will fill the boxes at the
Benson track Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday of this week for the
harness and running races of the
Omaha Driving club. One feels an
anticipatory thrill even at this far
cry from the celebrated Kentucky
derbies, but who knows to what fame
Omaha may not reach as a city for
races does society do its part? The
benefit the Red Cross society will re-
ceive from the proceeds has helped
fill the boxes, some OF which were
taken by M. c. Peters, T. c. Byrne,
J. A. Cavers, E. ?. Peck, Otis NJ.
Smith, Everett Buckingham. George
Roberts, A. V. Shotwell, DR.. L. A.
Dermody, c. Z. Reese and Miss Edna
Peterson.
Omaha daily bee., 1917-06-10

DOES it seem to you that we are
~ marking time? When a COM
pany Of people in marching
order mark time they are not moving
forward. but they are making al
preparations to move forward at
double quick time if necessary. II
seems to me that we are just at the
marking time stage. Our great scram-
Bile to get in line when war was de-
clared made our blood rush madly
through our veins. Every minute was
tense with excitement. We were in
the first throes of new movement.
Gradually, however, we fell into our
place, ready to march when the
order comes in the shape of dire nee
essity. For we are doing everything
that we can to prepare for any emer-
gency, but the tension has become a
matter OF habit, the excitement has
died away.
This might be the prelude to a pref
ty little sermon, nest ce pas? but they
are taboo in society. Instead of intro
ducing sermon, this may explain the
social situation at present When war
was declared everyone rushed so
frantically to do "her bit" in some
wartime work that there was COM
plete slump in social activity. Now
matters have readjusted themselves
until within the last week we have
had really varied and interesting, if
not lavish, entertainments.
The delightful Equal Franchise
Bridge party at the Country club,
which Mrs. J. NJ. Metcalf worked so
hard to bring to pass, set the pace for
the week, just as the successful per-
formance of the, American ambu-
lance film marked its close. There
were several informal affairs for Wis
itors, numerous pretty June brides,
parties at some belated theatrical and
operatic performances, dinners and
showers for brides-t -to-be, luncheons at
the Blackstone and Fontenelle, din
ner-dance parties at the country clubs,
affairs for graduating girls and KEN
sington teas to introduce new resi-
dents in the city. What more variety
could one ask: This has been a pleas
ant week,
