THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, J917. 7 k Q B;k MELLIFICIA-Sept.,3 Taft to Speak for Fine Arts Society. That war wo'rk would occupy so ciety and women's clubs exclusively this winter was forecasted from the outbreak of the war, but whether the so-called "bigh-brow" clubs would give up their lectcfre programs to knit and sew was the question not yet de termined. The answer that the clubs may, continue their programs, but along' war lines comes in the announce ment that William Howard Taft, ex president of the United States and now chairman of the Red Cross Cen tral committee, is the first speaker to appear on the lecture course of the Omaha Society of Fine Arts. The an nouncement comes in a letter from Mrs. Leonard Everett, chairman of the lecture committee, who is now on her Colorado ranch. Judge Taft will be here on Friday evening, October 19. Where he will speak has not yet been determined, but the Aduitorium or one of the theaters are being considered as the only places large enough to accom modate the crowds. The fact that his subject will be along war lines, either Red Cross or on citizenship, makes his coming talk of special interest. The lecture committee will obtain other speakers on subjects of war in terest, the outlook is. If Judge Taft remains 'long enough, it is probable some large social function will be planned in his honor. Caughlan-Corcoran Wedding.

After Vacation Peel Your Discolored Skin Women returning from the sesside with browned, reddened or freckled complexion! will be wise In immediately taking up the mereolixed wax treatment. Weather-beaten skin had best com off, for no amount of "beautifying" will ever make such akin pretty to look ct. The surest, safest, easiest way to shed the despoiled cuticle is with the treatment suggested. Put the wax on be fore retiring, as you would cold cream, and rinsa it off next morning with warm water. Minute particles of scarf skin will peel off day by day, gradually showing the healthy, youthful skin beneath. One ounce of mereolixed wax, obtainable at any drug store, ie enough to make any discolored or spotted complexion clear, white and satiny soft. Its action is so gentle no harm is cauwd and the face shows no trace of it use. Advertisement. t JUNIOR RED CROSS HOW ORGANIZING Expect to Enlist Services of 22,000,000 Children to.

Gray, Pleasanton, Neb., escort ed a load of cattle from Pleasanton to the South Omaha yards. The cattle off his hands and the bullion carefully stowed away, J. D. hied himself to the city in quest of a habitat for the night. Mr. Gray is minus one arm, and his attire did not spell millions. He was traveling light, without the usual encumbering luggage of a trav eler, and wearing the working clothes of a rancher. The first clerk approached respond ed in the negative, decidedly negative, whereupon Mr- Gray enlightened him with the fact that he could buy and sell the hotel with an office full of $5 bills thrown in. , He was finally registered at another hotel where his status was still some .what in doubt till his name was seen on the register with the bill marked paid.

Department Finds Only Rubbish on Fire at Auditorium The fire department was called this morning to Fifteenth and Howard, where smoke issuing from the Audi torium had attracted a crowd. The militiamen stationed" in the building had started to burn some rubbish in the furnace and the smoke backed up. The entire building was filled with smoke in a few moments. a y 1 " Surely here is proof that a gown can keep to the straight and narrow way and still play havoc with the hearts of men. The lines in this one piece dress designed by Hickson are ex tremely simple, ex cept where the skirt indulges in a few spirals, but the ef fect is so strikingly smart that one in stantly recognizes it as a masterpiece. The black panther of the jungle cannot boast of richer coat nor grace more lithe than Milady in this gown. Deep lights play hide and seek in the velvet and smooth silken bands finish the skirt and outline the belt. Then, in startling contrast, the collar and narrow cuffs are of beautiful, snowy white fox fur. Wrhile the wide brimmed hat seems to be crushed, a rib bon embroidered in Japanese red and broiue relieves the black velvet situa tion somewhat. Rev. Titus Lowe to Be Missionary in Trenches Rev. Titus Lowe, pastor of the First Methodist church, leaves about Oc tober 1 for France, where he will en gage in evangelistic work for the men on the firing line. The official board of the church at the Sunday morning services recom mended that Rev. Lowe be granted a six months leave with salary. The well packed congregation unanimously ac cepted. Rev. Lowe, instead of his prepared sermon gave a personal talk in which he spoke of his great liking for Omaha and said that when his term of ser vice in France had expired he would return to Omaha ana resume his pas torship at the First Methodist church. A successor tJ Rev. Lowe has not yet been .chosen, although Bishop Homer C. Stuntz and a local com mittee composed of F. D. Wcad, C. A. Goss and J. P. Bailey are consider ing several ministers to serve while Rev. Lowe is absent. Rev. Lowe .leaves his wife and daughters in the city. Omaha Will Entertain Selected Draft Men The first group of the selective service army to entrain from Omaha for Fort Riley will be entertained by the Commercial club of Omaha at a luncheon Thursday noon, Septem ber 6 This first group comes from Wash ington, Douglas, Burt, Cedar, Thurs ton, Dixon, Wayne and Sarpy coun ties. The men from the northern counties will arrive in Omaha on the train about 12:10 and will entrain in Omaha for Fort Riley about 3 in the afternoon. In the meantime the Com mercial club will give a luncheon and have some speaking and music for the men. After that they will prob ably march from the court house to the railway station in military forma tion. 1 It is not likely that the Commer cial club will try to follow this prece dent when future contingents of the selective service boys come in to en train at Omaha, but the executive committee thinks it very appropriate to do this for the first of the boys to arrive.
