Omaha people, OF course, have al
ways been exceedingly temperate.
You understand the meaning, do you
not? They have used great restraint
in matters of food consumption. They
have not been given to revels like
that OF the prodigal oriental, Bel
shazzar. Their formal dinners have
not assumed such gigantic proper.
tions that the dumb tables groaned
from the weight thereof. -.
Now, to be sure, no one has SAID
that just such lavish entertainments
as those have been given in New
York, Chicago, Denver and else
where, but evidently the people IN
those cities have felt the need for
retrenchment in these serious war
times. New York's FIRST fifty have
decided to cut down all meals,
whether they be breakfasts, lunch
cons or the largest dinners, to three
simple courses. Denver FIRST ten"
have emulated the New Workers by
adopting this economic standard.
Chicago, too, has taken up the slogan,
Three Courses or None" thus
spreading the leaven of New Yorks
good example. You know that the
women who have instituted this re-
form form the very upper crust oi
the social pie, so that there is every
incentive to make the scheme pop
ular.
As usual, mere man does not take
kindly to the plan.
The story is told OF young artist
of some repute who visited a promi-
nent Chicago woman in her home
not long ago. He had been travel
ing for some time away from his ma
tive heath, New York. When the
third course Of the dinner was served
his hostess explained that she was
following a plan Of war economy by
serving only three-course dinners.
"Oh," said the artist, "how extremely
interesting. They don't do that back
in New York." and Immediately made
a mental note TO re IN to the flesh
pots OF Egypt as soon as possible.
When the Omaha suffragists gave
their thrift supper at the Young Wo-
mems Christian association, an ac-
auaintance of ours attended in
company with another man and wo.
man. The three enjoyed the meal
immensely, but they had no sooner
finished than the mere man proposed
to 90 elsewhere for second meal
with choice cut OF steak as the
piece de resistancel.

becoming necessary to have a special
