WK.DNFSDAT iAdlws day at tha Coun ' try club; the hop at the Field club. t ATUKDAY Wek's-nd dinner and nop at tho Field and Country club. 1 ft wasn't for bridge there would be about tlx afternoon and six evening of the we when society, would be out of business. Everybody that pretend to "ba up-to-date Vnows the game; In facy they have to, for It hae become so general that people eeem to have forgotten how to do anythln else that might erve as a substitute. It U bridge that the women play out at the Country club after the' Wednesday luncheon, and other days, tool It Is bridge that afford tha diversion when a few friends chance to meet at the home of another, and of an evening- It Is bridge that occupies about half of the waking hours of certain of the fashionable dames who have long been devoted to whist In some of Its several varieties. Time was, and not so vety many months ago, that "The Bridge Club" Indicated a little set of women that have slnoe their debutante days constituted some sort of club each ckson; but now there are a dosen or more clubs, some of which meet every day. The younger set, the coming debutantes and society men, alone seem to, demand something new, or at least a variety, and they have employed everything from hay rack to proposal parties of late to help pass the time. But though every one com plains that things are dreadfully quiet. It has been a happy summer after all and there seems to be fewer people away than for several years past which Indicates that In the main people regard It a pretty good summer place. The family of a young society girl who (Tame out only two seasons ago, are telling a story that causes the young woman to blush violently and that promises to ef fectually overcome that gush that all too frequently clings to the graduate of the finishing school. She had been asked to the home of a cousin to tea and when a young man was presented to her as "Cousin Fred," she promptly bestowed upon that young person a very cordial and very cous- Inly kiss. The surprise of "Cousin Fred" and all the other cousins was so evident that the young woman asked its occasion, whereupon it wa explained that the young man was a cousin on the other side of the i house and no kinsman of hers whatever. There was a distinct feminine treble &mon the oheer at the base ball game Monday afternoon: It was ladles' day, but then, every day Is ladies' day of late for, i In thevwords of a man who knows, Omaha Is "base 1 baU craay" Just now. and the women seem to have It as bad as the men. In appreciation of this enthusiasm, which they deem eminently good taste In their sisters, sweethearts and wives, most of the men are paying for seats for two, up In the grandstand, and renting cushions, too, besides making cheerful and most- elabor ate explanations of the game, and the man who goes alone and sits In the bleachers now-a-dcys Is liable to be called a "stiff." Fuhy half of Monday's attendance were women and amoig them were not a few of those whose presence makes things fash ionable' or popular. By no means all of tho - women attended with men escorts, how ever, and there were scores who went In little parties of two or three. It Is no un common thing of late to hear women dis cussing the game or the players. The young people rather held sway at the Country club last evening, or at least were the enlivening factor and the largest of the dinner parties, that given by Mr. Qerome Magee In honor of his sister.

DISTRESS IN LONDON (Continued from First Page.) get work, the book trade Is almost stag nant and thousands of clerks are out of employment." The chief of one of London's largest tore attribute the depression to the ef fect of the war, to Increased taxation, In creased rates and to the Increased cost of living. "While w are doing a larger business and selling more goods," he confessed, "the total turnover Is ' less than In previous years because cheaper articles are pur chased. In wines. Jewelry and In fancy goods the falling off Is particularly notice able, but, strangely enough, while trade ha been growing steadily worse and while money has been becoming scarcer, the cost of living ha been steadily Increasing. "The articles used In the home have been growing In price, provisions particularly dear; landlords have to pay more taxes, and consequently they, ask higher, rents., But salaries, hay rtot. Increased,, .on) the- contrary me iaDor mamec is overcrowded.".! In West End restaurants also' the depres sion 1 felt. Men who formerly dined at what may be termed the "extravagant" restaurant now go to those that are more reasonable, and other have vanished frotil their old haunt altogether. TRANSVAAL PEOPLE IN DOUBT Wot Certain How Scheme of Modified Self-Government Will Work Out, JOHANNESBURG. Aug. 13.-(Speclal Ca blegram to The Bee.) Mr. Lyttelton's" an nouncement that a measure of representa tive government will shortly be -given to the Transvaal ha been received; jrtth vari ous expression of feeling ln,,thpcolony. A certain section of the Inhabitants appre ciate the privilege and regard it a a nece; sary and satisfactory . safety valve, ridtjjng the colony of the danger, of a hasty grant of a responsible government. Others, while regarding such a step aslnevltable, recog nize in the elections and subsequent pro ceedings In Parliament an element making for unrest, and anxiously aVa'lt the Issue. As for the Boers, they were" not likely to make their real thought kn'qStvn until they learn the details of the scheme as regards the franchise and the electoral' districts.

LONDON, Aug. 13. (Special; Cablegrom to The Bee.) Mr. E. Shrapnell Smith, sec retary of the Automobile Mutual Frotcc- tlon association, has ascertained the num ber of motor cars and motor cycles regis tered In the United Kingdom. He has brought the figures up to late, and in a paper read before the congress of the San itary Institute at Glasgow, he gave these Interesting statistics: In this country, up to midsummer days, 18,340 motor cars and 21,521 motor cycles hod been registered. The figures for the oounty of Essex are lacking. These sta tistics do not Include manufacturers' or dealers' cars. 'The Interval of a month has," said Mr. Shrapnell Smith, allowed an all-around ad dition to these figure. I compute the act ual possession today at 20,070 cars, 22,910 cycle and 8,000 driving licenses." In London there are J.619 cars and 2,606 motor cycles registered, and the licenses number 8.K3. MARVEIi IX THE EQ.UI!VE WORLD German Frofeaaor Solves Question of Commanlcatlon with Animals. .BERLIN, Aug. IS. Wllhelm von Oston, ! who has for a long time made Investiga tions of tho Intelligence of animals, has reached results In educating an Orloff stal lion that caused amasement amongst scien tific men and physiologists. Some of those who have tested the mental powers of the animal are Dr. Sudt, the Prussian mlnlMor of education; Prof. George Schwelnsfurth'ir, the famous African traveler; Prof. Karl Stumpf. of the Berlin university; H";rr Schillings, the naturallBt, and Ludwlg Heck, director of the Berlin zoological garden. The horse, besides adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing sums, does ex amples involving tseveral of those opera tions, finds square numbers and not only simply repeals what 1 taught, but solves freth problems put to him by examiners in the absence of bis master, showing his rasp of principles of arithmetic. The ani mal finds sentences, remembers them next day and discriminates twelve colors and shades, giving their corresponding names. The animal distinguishes musical tones In dicating where they are sltuued on the chromatic scale and picks ojt discords, designating which tone to omit In order to restore harmony. Tho horse communicates by a system of hoot beats, representing the alphabet. Prof. Schillings has taken much Interest In displaying the horse's accompliahmunts to other scientists. Dr. Siidt says Herr von Osten would have been bur net! as it wlsard In the early days of tit) world. Whn the exercises were prolonged ho hoVse becomes Inattentive and mljtakas be come more frequent. Prof, von Osten affirms that the horse Is as well educated as a boy who has gone to school for the same number of years and the professor desires that a commis sion of scluntlsts be selected to take the bora under observation for four weeks. Tills probably will be done with the view of determining whether the conventional Idea la true, that animal instinct and hu man Intelligence are essentially different.

Is not to be the gueot of the Omaha Wo man's club this fall a was hoped, owing to an ena-asrnment In the east. However, she ha promised to come later and per haDS It Is well that her visit Is to be de. ferred, for experience has taught the club women that It Is posslblo to have too many good things at a time. The state meeting and other slate meetings will afford much this fall and a visit later In the year will possibly mean more on this account. Besides that, the entertainment of Mrs. Decker Is sn occasion worthy of more than ordinary attention and It will probably be observed later In the year In a manner Impossible earlier. The election of Mrs. I. R. Andrews to the presidency of the Omaha Woman's club has necessitated the appointment of a new chairman for the club's committee on a new Woman's troterty rights bill, Mrs. Andrews has appointed the following committee, which Is to choose Its own chair man: Mmes. Ida V. Tildcr, Sumner, Sarah Mlllen, VanDuwn of South Omaha, .yd J. O. Yclser. The new bill, which Is be ing drawn up by Attorney D. L. Johnson of Omaha and which has the support of practically all of the woMcn of the dtate, la not yet finished. It Is now prartlcallv certain that Mrs. Nellie Kedzle Jones 1 be smong the speakers at the Octoi er meeting of the Nebraska Federation of Women's clubs to be held at Seward in October. At a called meeting of the directory of the Omaha Woman' club this week,- It was unani mously voted that tho club should psy the expense of Mrs. Jones' return and the state officers have been notffled of this ac tion. The department of household eco nomics of the Omaha club will give $15 out of Its department fund toward this expense and Mrs. Jones will address the club during the department's program at the neeortd meeting this fall,., the meeting that follows the Seward convention. MrSi Jones Is too wldelyknown to club ..women generally to need to have It told that' her work has been for domestic science nnd the home' and her coming to Nebraska will be welcomed and will attract women from all'fc 'the4-1 over ihe state, as few, even among national speakers, could. ' In an Interview last week upon her re turn from Berlin, where she was a promi nent figure at the quinquennial conference and International Council of Women, Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Oilman said in part: The international council stands for three things: peace and arbitration, equal po litical rights for men and women and a single standard of morals and the aboil-' tlon of the white slave traffic. I' was Impressed-.-while in Berlin with ; the .futility, tifone wttlcism... frequently made-'against the'-ctiuncil. People. ' are 'always saying it does nothing but meet and talk. Well, it serves its purpose by doing Just those things meeting and talking. How could a body made up of clubs and societies, woHtlng In. a', dozen different directions, I'o-or.dHigtely.act on anything?, The-object of such a thing as the International Coun cil oi women is to provide a center where all ineae ainerent projects may be dls- r,1af,H mil, i, at ,.lHnn. mn It Is a triumph of -system, or organization. It raises'! the standard of work done by every bne of 'its component parts, but It cunnot-act for-those parts Individually. When asked to selec what she considered- some. Interesting phases, of the coun cil meeting, Mrs. Oilman said: The reception, ' -accorded Miss Anthony was. as always, thrilling.

The shops pa tronized by the 'nobility are hung with lovely gowns and garments of various kinds, rather on the order of our early Jenness-Mlller clothes. And there are cheap shops with homely duplicates of these elaborate things. German women are fairly storming along in their effort to obtain equal rights with men in every thing. It Is astonishing to see how many doctors of law there are among them, and doctors of philosophy. They are tak ing tremendous strides towards securing equal rights in business and education, towards a more general belief in the neces sity for an equal standard of morality. Their efforts for the working girl, for the housing of the poor, for social purity all then endeavors are prospering under the enthusiastic generalship of the German woman. But nothing is more interesting thnn her present attitude towards dress reform. We have passed that stage. Ger man women today glory In the unattrac tive. There Is a Joyful Insistence on' the ugly.

Boating Is also a pleasing featuro, the new pleasure craft having made a great hit with all.

The rural de livery enterprise, which will certainly soon be made universal, will do much to Im prove the country highways. In deciding which of the routes for which applications are made shall be established, the inspec tors naturally give preference to the ones that are able to show a good, hard road bed. Thus one enterprise plays Into the hands of another. Logically, there was more need of a goft road when the farm ers had to go to ih Kistofflce for their mall than now, when only one man, serving them all, would have to drag hla weary way through tha mud. In the early daya of the rural delivery experiment twenty miles was conaldeied enough, but now It Is believed that twenty four miles Is not too much. At four miles an hour this would be only six hours, or two hours less than the trades union day. The Inspectors who are now out on the road will make it a policy wherever they find routes of less than twenty-four miles to awing in a Itule additional circuit to brliig the numltr up to that figure. Farm ers who are not now supplied with this service In a region which la considerably nalrated might do wall to bear this In Froo Kodak Pictures sr. ' "1 - -s , Vv. U v IN; CUT OUT THIS COUPON.
