funds for Red Cross. At the Chicago
Country clubs they are talking Of
turning prize money into Red Cross
funds. In New York the women
golfers are planning to give their
tournament entrance fees to Red
Cross treasurers and to cut down their
prizes. Just what Omaha women will
do along this line has not yet been
decided. Mrs. Walter G. Silver is
considering the matter and has pre-
sented several schemes to the men,
brs of the association.
Next to golhng the favoritc pastime
in society is afternoon tea. This is
the only unauthorized form of en-
tertainment left to the hostess. Bridge
parties have been coming dollars for
good causes and will continue to do
so for some time to come. Dancing
parties are excellent -getters as
Mrs. Thomas Latham Davis will
prove after her circle of All Saints
Parish Aid has given its dancing par
ty Tuesday evening at the home of
MIR. and Mrs. Dana c. Bradford,
Luncheon and dinners are altogether
too expensive for benefit affairs, so
the tea is the really satisfactory way
of getting together socially. Mrs.
John L. Kcnnedy's tea last Tuesday
was delightful affair. The guest of
honor, little Mrs. E. John Brandeis,
set the informal note by appearing in
a simple dark costume with large hat
and soft furs thrown carelessly around
her shoulders. Many of the guests
came in street attire from their vari-
Gus centers of activity, so that no one
was confined to strictly afternoon
dress. The hostess and Mrs. George
Brandels were two most charming
figures in their light afternoon frocks.
\ Tuesday seems good day for tea,
because this week Mrs. Charles D.
Beaton, too, has taken Tuesday for
her tea, in honor of Mrs. Wilson
Austin of Pelham Manor, N. Y, who
is visiting her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
c. F. McGrew, and for her mother,
Mrs. f. A. Wurster of Milwaukee.
Mrs. E. A. Wurster, jr., of Milwaukee
is also expected to be in Omaha for
the tea.
One Of the interesting events of the
week will be the presentation on

of the Omaha Woman's Press club
at the Blackstone. About 200 inter-
ested people will gather for the eve
ming. Several dinner parties of Press
club members and friends will be
given, at the hotel preceding the per-
Torrance.

Out Doors Lures
the Society Folks

The call of the outdoors will not
reach its full strength until all the
country clubs have opened their doors
for the summer. At meeting this
week it was decided that the Field
club opening will be held the even
ing of May &c. the same evening as
the initial dinner-dance at Happy
Hollow club, for which announce
ments were issued last week. Sey-
mour Lake Country club has grown
impatient, so that although the cafe
will not be put in shape until later the
members have gathered for one pre-
season dance this week and will en-
joy another on May Is. Carter Lake
club is waiting for the water to pass
above the freezing point before it
gathers its happy family together
again and will celebrate Decoration
day with its first reunion. Two days
later Seymour Lake club will inau-
gurate its season.
June is to be marked by numerous
outdoor fetes and benefits. Unitarian
church members are hoping to bring
Portia SWEET back to Omaha to give
the open-air fete in Joslyn gardens.
If they are not able to do il they are
planning with much foresight to cap
ture the nimble dancer as she fits
back to the east after closing her sum-
mer camp in the Rockies. Then they
will give glorious autumn festival
among the reds and browns of au-
tumns falling leaves.
At least one June fetc surely will
be held. This will be the All Saints
Sunday School June fete at the home
of Mrs. Will Hoagland, which is
dated for June 2. Mrs. Franklin Shot
well and her mother, Mrs. Lois Coch-
rane, are taking charge of the work
and have arranged delightful pro-
gram of dances, drills and songs with
the added novel feature OF a matt
nee dance in the house for the young
people at the close Of the outdoor
fete.
Everyone who is so fortunate as
to be numbered among the friends of
Mrs. Myron Learned is eagerly an
ticipatng the outdoor performance
OF her masque of country life the
middle of June. The thought of this
delightful form of drama presented in
the open is sufficiently attractive OF
itself to draw interest, but this par
ticular little play is sure TO have en-
bodied i'll it some of the charm Of the
authors own personality. II Han

~ social dullness to Red Cross
war relief work, but some just
to golf. Our desk calendar bears the
picture of little blond-haired, bare

two fieecY lambkins frisk down the

float big white clouds. Such a rest
full and refreshing scene the Country
club presented Monday when the
Omaha Woman's Golf association met
for their opening play of the season.
The club house was practically de-
serted, but the velvety green links
were dotted with spots of color.

now the public is interested in the
bread and meat itself and not in its
value. While every one of cur cit
liens must be protected against loss
by any means available to him, yet
in addit on to that it is his patriotic
duty just now to protect the bread
and meat supply Of the nation by
preventing its destruction If poss bic,
because any food grains or mat ami
mails t.:at are destroyed are entire Y
lost to the public and can not be re-
stored. Guard the gran and live
stock with greater care than ia ordi-
narily used because the risk is now
somewhat greater than ordinary ard
it is patriotic duty just now to do
so.

RABBITS FOR MEAT.

Grand Forks, Nov. EVERY fa-
mily in North Dakota is at this time
interested in anything that will tend
to decrease the cost Of living. In the
general scheme on supplying the ia
BILE, consideration may well be placed
on the raising of rabbits for food.
These animals can be raised easily
in North Dakota, and are very easily
cared for, according to a Grand Forks
man who has had experience in the
industry. They require little space
and are not susceptible to disease.
The meat is delicious and can be used
as.any other meat in cooking. If the
rabbits are properly hand the
young ones are ready for the table
at from six to ten weeks and there is
good demand for any surplus at a
good p-ice.
This meat can be served in many
different ways as beef or pork. and
is used great deal for fancy dishes.
Emmons County record., 1917-11-08
CONSERVING BREAD AND MEAT

Every citizen now realizes that
the two things in our fcod supply
that must be conserved are bread
and meat. This can be effectively
done not only in their economical use
but also in using proper care to pro-
tect and guard the supply.
1t is needless to say that now is
the time of all times when live stock
should be carefully protected from
dise.se. A loss Of hogs or other
live stock Of the meat producing
classes is not only loss to the owner
but is direct decrease in the food
supply which should have such care
full guarding at the present time.
A loss of food grains from impro-
per care is another instance of loss
in the food supply. All food grain
should be watched very carefully to
see that it is remaining in proper
condition. Food grains should not
be threshed and stored until they are
in proper condition to store safely.
In many cases during the past few
months there have been severe losses
of meat producing animals and food
grains by fire. AS part of our pro.
gram of economy greater precautior
than ever before should be taken to
prevent fires. Only in this way car
the losses of bread and meat to the
public be prevented.
Losses of the classes mentioned
above are not such in all cases that
even the owner can protect himself
by insuranc, and in no case will in.
surance protect the public. just
