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. Miss Magee,
who arrived from Chicago yesterday, was
made up chiefly from the younger set. Mr.

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.

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.

Mra. Sarah Piatt Decker, president of
the General Federation of Woman's clubs.
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. Everywhere she
went she was the one woman whom all de-
iiKniea io nonor. rfie, ,spoxe irequentiyi

sole communication whh the company con
sisted in her permitting Lady Aberdeen,
representing the council, to kiss her hand
as she sat in the carriage.. The women, old
and young, 'had stood in the' hot sunshine
of the. court .for an -indefinite time, before
her majesty .appeared ,at all.
Germany today -shows a striking phase
of the advnnced woman question.-.' It Is

Is flourishing. Dress- ruform-tiHS taken hold
of every class of wotnen. 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.

RURAL DELIVERY ENTERPRISE
System Promises to Become Universal
with the Effect of Improving;
Country Highway.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 13. 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
