- ... ... . rrrr- Conducted by Ella Fleishman SOCIE By MELLIFICIA Metropolis Indicates War's Effect on Nation On the surface New York seems just the same these days. The same pretty children frolic in the parks un der the watchful eye of their nurses. The same gay parties gather at the Ritz forv tea for New York smiles be neath her service flag and life goes on, apparently unchanged. But, un derneath it all there is an undercur rent never felt before, for the me tropolis, like the nation, is bending every effort in doing its great part to win. Mrs. Warren Blackwell, who has just returned, tells of the numbers of children on ifth avenue who run out -and entreat you to buy their war sav ings stamps. These little patriots are very determined and you can hardly pass one by. Signs are beginning to appear in the stores, especially at the Huyler shop, famous for its delicious chocolates, asking their patrons to accept the stamps instead of change. Mrs. Blackwell speaks especially of the strange and gloomy aspect of the city at night, for since the submarine attack all the huge signs are dark and although the, street lights are not ex tinguished, the store windows are dark and people are requested to draw the shades in their homes. The wonderful parade held at the times of the Red Cross drive lasted from 2 in the afternoon until 8 in the venng and the streets were an ever changing sea of color, with the varied uniforms of the men and wo men. A huge battleship is the re cruiting station for the marines, and larce numbers of Stal wart Americans taking the pledge of allegiance, choosing this branch of the service. ' New York is dotted with Red Cross posters, of all kinds and varieties. Every artist in the land has been, in spired by the great sacrifices men and women are making today, and seizing his brush has produced a pa triotic painting which makes its silent but effective appeal to all who pass. Moore-Bratton Wedding. Under the crossed flags of our coun try, Miss Louise Bratton and Mr. Verne Moore will take their marriage vows this evening at the home of the bride's grandmother, Mrs. J. 0. East man. Palms and ferns will be used in the rooms, forming an. attractive back ground for the red. white and blue of the numbers of flags. - , Miss Termelia Engle will sing Be loved, It is Morn," accompanied by Mrs. Dean Ringer. To the soft strains of the Mendelssohn wedding march the bridesmaid, Miss Margaret , Carley, will enter, the pink of her georgette gown shading into the gold en hues of the Mrs. Ward roses which ! she will carry. And, then, "here comes , the bride," all in filmy white, her f georgette crepe dress made on simple I lines, her tulle veil caught with a few Standing under the flags Rev. R. L. Wheeler will meei me Dnue ana urmc groom, where the ceremony will be performed. Mr. Robert Hagar of Lincoln will attend as best man. - Following the ceremony a wedding supper wiH be served and at the in formal reception which will follow about 75 guests will be present to wish the bride all happiness. Mr. and Mrs. Moore will not take a wedding trip at this time and will make their home in Omaha. Council Bluffs Boat Club. Roland Dodge, custodian at the Boat club, Lake Manawa, says a num ber of Omaha people are planning to spend their vacation days at the club this summer. Quite a few have taken out memberships during the last week. It is their intention to avoid imnosinor unnecessary travel on the railroads, and take their rest at the resort nearer home. Some will oc cupy cottages, others will put up tents and still others will occupy rooms at the club. Special member ships for women and for juveniles have been particularly in demand. Nevotti-Loree Nuptials. A simple home wedding took place Thursday at the home of Mr.' and Mrs. W. S. Loree, when their daugh ter, Ruth, was united in marriage to William Nevotti. Rev. H. B. Foster performed the ceremony. Only the immediate family was 'present and the young couple left im mediately for a short trip. After-July 1 they will be at home at 1720 Lake ftreet. ' " - i i in i Many women are now employed for the first time in Japan's great naval arsenal at Kure. HOUSEHOLD ARTS VSPT A Sure Way of Canning 1 Vegetables With food as expensive and ,gcarce a it is, the problem of making hcjne canned fpods "spoil proof" is a real one. The cold pack process has been successful for all foods in most cases, but certain of vegetables, notably peas, beans, corn, spinach and as paragus, there is a margin of risk in he process. Cause of Spoiling. '. These vegetables are not acid and they are apt to have spore-bearing bacteria.. Bacteria are the invisible 'plants which cause spoiling and their spores correspond to the seeds of higher plants in their power to resist tdverse conditions, such as lack of moisture, or high temperature. There i no doubt that the long cooking or "processing" of the cold pack method kills all active bacteria but a few spores may survive. These later develop into bacteria and cause Spoil ing. Intermittent Sterilization. A canning expert whom I know recommends the intermittent sterili zation, or three-day method, for can ning the difficult vegetables. They are prepared just as for ordinary cold . pack canning the blanching, cold dipping, etc, but: the processing is fnlbme u At the Country Clubs Field. ' Mrs. W. G. Brandt entertained at a little farewell luncheon at the club, today, when the honor guest was Mrs, J. S. Willebrands, who leaves soon to make her home in Buf falo. The guests were members of a card club who have been meeting together for the past nine years. It was a merry party seated around the luncheon table, with its attractive centerpiece of daisies and pink roses. Just a few intimate friends of Mrs. John W. Towle were included in another luncheon party, the hos tesses being Mrs. Charles A. Goss and Mrs. A. H. Hippie. Mrs. Towle leaves fn j few days for the east to be gone all summer and her friends took this pleasant way to say good by. Deep blue larkspur . and snowy daisies were used on the luncheon ta ble and covers were laid for 16. Carter Lake. About 75 guests will have dinner at the, club this evening, remaining for the dance. Happy Hollow. Miss Virginia Cotton was honor guest at such a pretty party at the club today. There were four host esses and they were all sisters, Misses Elizabeth, Margaret, Mary and Ada O'Keefe. They were assisted by their mother, Mrs. J. F. O'Keefe. who planned the unique features of the luncheon. Miss Virginia is soon to leave for Denver to make her home, and so all the small guests wrote her a little train letter while they were at the luncheon table. Imagine the little honoree's delight to find a small velvet box at her plate and on open ing it a friendship pin of gold from her Omaha friends Musical Program for Soldiers. Mrs. Charles R. Thiem planned a musical program for the men at Fort Omaha, which was given Monday eve ning at the Young Men's Christian association hut. The Liberty quartet gave several numbers, the members including Misses Allegra Fuller, Elinor Lackey, Florence Ellsworth and Ruth Gordon. Character reading, jwhistling solo, violin duo and vocal solos made up tne program, me sing ing of America closing the per formance. The Joan of Arc club gave a danc ing party at the pavilion at Hanscom park Monday evening when the honor guests were a number of the privates and flying cadets from Fort Omaha. Famous French Woman To ) speaK in umana MME. E. GUERIN. Mme. E. Guerin of Paris, twice decorated by the French government and distinguished as a war speaker in France, England and America, will speak in Omaha soon for the benefit of the war orphans and in jured soldiers of France. Plans are now being made for Mme. Guerin's visit to this city. Local war relief organizations will have charge of the program which probably will be held at the Audi torium. Recently in Kansas City, Mme. Guerin pledged 32,000 for the Red Cross at 'a single meeting. She now is in Kansas where she is the guest of Governor and Mrs. Capper. CEJfTJML ttlSJt SCHOOL . Co-Operation . , Mis. Gross will be very glad to receive suggestions for the home economics column or to answer, as far as she is able, any questions that her readers may ask. carried on for an hour on each of three successive days. After the pro cessing each day, the lids are tighten ed, then loosened before the jars are returned to the water bath the next day.- The secret of-the success of this method is that the active bacteria are killed the first day, but the spores are not, they develop -into the active torms by" the second da7 when they also are killed. ' The third day processing is an ex tra precaution to catch any spores that did not develop into plants by the second day. - Time Table. The time for blanching these spe cial vegetables is: Asparagus, 10 minutes. Beans. 5-10 minutes. Corn, 5-10 minutes. Greens (spinach, etc.), 15 minutes. Peas, 5-10 minutes. The time for processing is alike for 'all one hour on each of three successive-days Vi- - I i Economicsl Jjj Omaha Girls Are Chosen For Red Cross Canteen Work in France KAllLS IViiuMUM. , With the money made at its re cent street carnival, the Dundee Woman's Patriotic club will send the Misses Dorothy Ringwalt and Frances Nieman to France as Red Cross canteen workers.

My Dear Miss Fairfax. Omaha Bee: Should a service pin worn for a fiance be a gift from him? If not where could I get one? la It correct to wear the pin If he la only In training. In the camp here? Should a young lady wear an engagement ring after her fiance Is dead? How should she dress to attend services In honor of a fiance who died In service? Also should she stay with the ralatlres and what would be a nloe way of showing your respect for them? Tnaaklrig you .In advance for an early reply la the Omaha Bee, I am, sin cerely, " iv BROWN EYES. .flervlce pins are . usually worn for a brother or husband but. If a girl wishes she may wear en tor her fiance. It Is perfect ly proper to wear It whjjta be la In training. There Is n set rule concerning the donor of tha pin, but you eaa. purohase them at. any of the stores or at a Jeweler's shop. The wearing of an engagement ring. If the young man- Is dead, Is purely a matter of eentlment and should b decided by tb girl herself. If she derives comfort from wsarlng the ring then I ahould advise ber to do so by all means. Dark, plats clothes are most appropriate for any funeral, but I would not advise the departed one's fiancee to wear black. If tha parents of the young man wish It I think tt would bs very nlo to have the girl remain with them for a time. Letters, flowers and little acta of courtesy will mean much to the mother of the aon who la gone( and she will appre ciate these little acts more than words can express.
