York County Clubs Report Commun ity Service York, Neb.—Evidence of the eerv ice of the entail town women'* club to the comhiunity and state was dis played by the federated clubs of York county In convention at Gresham this week. Ninety women present at the con vention set forth the ambitious study programs carried on by every club, not only in art, music and literature, tut also in civic anil welfare prob lems. Study of the national consti tution, immigration problems and tlie bonus bill were among the subject reported. The greatest enthusiasm of the delegates was reserved for com munity service. All the clubs reported donations to the Nebraska Children’s Home so ciety building. In townships where there 1* no Woman's club, no such donations were made. The York club displayed tlie prin cipal activity. It lias in the last year twice brought Cho Cho, tho health clown, to interest the children and parents in health habits; it has a visit ing committee to co-operate with the state custodial home; maintains a rest booth at the county fair; lias a. woman’s exchange, and sponsors the business girls’ club. Trees for the grounds of the new consolidated school will be purchased by the Benedict Woman's club. Flower bulbs In the school grounds t are the gift of the Lushton club, which is now turning its attention to home economics and girls' activities. The Gresham club la bending its energies to the establishment of a public library, for which it now has POO volumes, and Is beautifying the park near the railroad station. The McCool club sponsors a lecture course and the Bradshaw club has con tributed to the Harding memorial. r Adele Garrison “My Husband’s Love’’ _J Madge Told Alfred Dicky Would Cor roborate Her Word. I did not need to look at Alfred Durkee to know that I had drawn blood when. In answer to his protest against my comment upon Bess Dean, I had told him that I was perfectly sure »he was not In love with him. His sudden flat silence told me that I had pricked through the skin of his vanity, and I did not need the em barrassed but insincere denial which followed to reinforce my recognition. "Of course she isn't." he said roughly. "I know that, but the rest of you act that way. You're getting a wrong slant on this.” he went on. and this time there was a ring of sincerity in his voice. "I did play around with Bess a bit—and so did the Dicky-bird—I wouldn’t say that, only he told me you knew it"—this inserted half defiantly, haJf apologet t ically. "I know all about It," I interpo lated, to keep the amusement from my voice—Alfred was boyishly trans parent in his mental flounderings. “Then you know, too, that there wasn't any harm in it," he retorted quickly. “Leila wouldn’t have ob jected if I’d taken you, for Instance, around as much as I did Bess." “Wouldn't she?" I asked myself ironically with a mental grin at the blindness of Alfred's type of mascu linity, but aloud I only murmured demurely: Not Sauce for the Goose. "Of course not, any more than you would object to Leila's running around with Dicky to the same extent." I glanced from under my half closed eyelashes at him, and chuckled at the queer expression which flashed Into his face at the thrust. Sauce for the gander was distinctly not sauce for the goose In this particular caaat I saw clearly, and with a mental calculation that the eubway Journey remaining wan Just about long enough for the things I meant to eay, I turned to him resolutely. "It's not particularly clubby to say what I'm going to, but-” "Just one second,’’ he interrupted. "You’ve got to know this first, be fore you say anything. 1'vs cut Bess out, haven’t-telephoned her, or taken her anywhere or anything since mother's operation when Leila* col lapsed. Remember?’’ I nodded with a vivid memory flash of his gentle wife's tortured face. ‘,‘You- ought to know I wouldn't do anything to hurt Leila—especially now’’—he added significantly—“and I don't Intend to go near Bess again. But I can't be rude to her, gan I, when she comes to the office as she did today, or calls me up? She's al ways been a corking friend to us all, and it looks like pretty small pota toes to-” "A Corking Pest!” "She’s been a corking pest!” I ex ploded, but careful to keep my voice discreetly lowered. ‘‘‘It's time you knew the truth. Alf—if you weren't ns blind as a bat you'd have seen it long ago, Hess Dean Isn't particu larly unprincipled, nor Is she wicked. She simply Is vanity mad, and she Isn't capable of any emotion for any one. But she would sacrifice any thing almost to gratify her vanity and feed a grudge. Hhe has an old account with me, and she tried once and signally failed to hurt me through Dicky. It sounds rather conceited to say that she tried to hurt Leila _ through you because she knew I loved Leila, but I am sure that was her original motive. And as long as siis can bamboozle you Into believing her a good friend whoee feelings it would be disloyal to hurt, you “can wager your last cent that ahe Is going to do everything she can to prove to #~VMILET§ - I #Every3Houi» BREAKS THAT COLD HUI'i Cmcvi Bromide Quinine will break your cold in. one day.

Della that the old intimacy exists. If you really want to save Della heartache at this critical time, you'll make It clear to Miss Dean that her presence is unwelcome If you have to tell her flatly, and forbid her coming to your office or telephoning you. I’ll warrant you that you'll get a glimpse of the real nature behind that good comrade exterior when you do.” The train was drawing Into the sta tion. I gathered my cloak about me and rose, Alfred springing to his feet beside me. "You don't need to take my word alone for all this,” I said, as we made our way to the door, "although I be lieve you will do me the justice to say that you never have heard me— what is It you say, wield the ham mer?—on any acquaintance before. But I think, if you ask Dicky flatly he will corroborate every word I've said.” W. C. T. U. Essay Contest.

Art as a practical, likable thing, closely related to everyday life, is the subject of an outline for picture study just published by the Ameri can Art bureau, and being Issued to women’s clubs In many parts of the country. The American Art bureau has as its object the promotion of art for the public, and la endorsed in ite work by many of the great public art museums of the country, by the American Federation of Arts and by cluh women of the country. This study outline, recently presented at a meeting of 100 art chairmen from the Illinois Federation of Women's Clubs was accepted by them as valuable, and the offer of the Art bureau to cooperate with this department of the federation was accepted. Flctures In their relation to the problems of home furnishing are studied in this course; and supple mentary to It is a lecture illustrated with slides, on “Pictures in Home Decoration.” A portion of the outline is devoted to American art and artists, and ap pended to the entire study course is a list of many of those reproductions of famous originals which are obtain able in excellent prints, worthy of hanging In the home and school, and beautiful In any home-furnishing scheme of which they are a part. Here la shown what a wide range of beautiful reproductions, examples of the best in art, are now obtainable at small cost. ' There are also sections of the out line in the early classics, including Oreek and Roman art and artists: Italian primitives; the work of the great masters of every country; Eu ropean art of the 19th century, and modern painting up to the present time.

[ The Sports Mode By EI.EANOR GUNN. Although season In and season out at Palm Beach there are certain style characteristics in comiaon, it must *be admitted that the sports theme has been played to an extraordinary de gree, his year, even at a resort which seems to call primarily for sports clothes, I,a8t winter, chiffons and crepes wese noted not only at tht Cocoanut Grove and smart teas else where, but on the sands during the noon hour. This season, we have to i • search even at tea time for frocks of this ilk. , The pendulum has swung toward tha trim tailored lines, usually ex pressed In suits but nowadays in tarpreted also In dresses of the tpiddy persuasion or with long straight tunics which break the erst while straight line of the one piece frock somewhere above or below the kneeline, usually the latter. Until this season a suit seemed very much out of the picture on the palm shaded trails hereabouts, hut nowadays, one is refreshed by the spectacle of paJe blue and pale yel low suits or those in pink or peach color, although as usual whits leads. It la difficult to tell just why this Is, because bright and even pal* color* arc lovely here. The only tones which really seem out of their element are the deep shades and black, unless as a complement to white or navy with white used In the same proportion. There Is a good deaj of white with black this season, and curiously enough In printed effects, for with these and a few other excep tions, prints are not of any particu lar importance. The exceptions srs for bathing suits and beach capes, scarfs and certain Japanese crepes with scenic effects. This print is repeated many times and in various colors here, at Miami, and Havana. Most of the black and white effects result frorr>| appliques of black on white, but there are a few very large black motifs on white crepe. While last season we would have been at a loss to have been without a chiffon gown or two, this Reason we can get along very comfortably without chiffon for ilaywear. While it is very popular by night, it is not indispensable, owing largely to the fact that it ha* not been necessary to consider rod ness and comfort In the aelectlon of our dance frocks. Fur bordered bro cades and velvets are not amiss these chilly nights. If comparisons are sometimes made they are often illustrative. It is per haps, easier to visualize tho current mode by contrasting the woolens and crepes, tho satins and general avoid ance of transparency this season with diaphanous qualities of last. Tho trend is all toward trim, well cut and well tailored lines and sports wear is more important today Ilian since tho time we learned to conjure with the term.
