SATURDAY Dinner and dance at Fit Id
and Country clubi.
Though there were tcarcely a floten af
fair of consequence last week so far as
private entertaining was concerned, It was
after all one of the fullest, gayest and al
together delightful weeks society bus
known In many a month. With the tennis
tournament at the Field club all
week, the automobile meet Tuesday and
Wednesday ami the opening of the theater
season, there was something doing all of
the time. Everybody was out every after
noon and for once bridge was relegated to
any off hour of the day when it might bo
crowded 1n by those clubs that pretended
to moat at all. And last evening society
congregated at the clubs to talk It all over.
Owing to the championship match In the
afternoon the Field club held the larger
crowd during the evening, many remain
ing for the dinner and dance who ordi
narily spend their Saturday evenings 'out
.Benton way. But the Country club was
gay. too, and the dinner Hat was longer
than It hat been for severnl weekt. Mr.'
and Mrs. F. H. Gaines entertained the
largest party, their table seating thirty.
Their guests were: Mr. and Mrs. E. E.
Hart of Council Hluffs, Dr. and Mrs. F. H.

Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Crittenden Smith

October 1 dnH October 9 are being named
by tho b'.aybodles as two of the most In
teresting dates on the fall calendar. Of
course,, anybody could tell that that means
weddtnge, but, of course, too, everybody
knows that until the cardt are out It's not
afe to accept any date for a certainty.
One of the prospective brides la not an
Omnha, girl; that Is, her parents do. not
live here, but her grandparents do, and
he It so frequent a visitor hero that she
Is regarded as a member of a set that
came out only a tea son or so ago. This
. wedding is to be a moat interesting affair,
and those who have reason to believe that
they are t be among the guesta are count
ing themselves fortunate. It Is not to take
place at the bride's borne, nor in Omaha,
jut down at Nebraska City ot the home
of her grandfather, one of Nebraska's his
toric spots and an estate famed the coun
try over. As for tha-groom whom, by the
way, Is the son of a Chicago millions Iro
he was prominent In Omaha society a..few
seasons ago but left here very suddenly
was transferred to another part of the
Country In the Interest of his father' busi
ness. It Is aiild, but the knowing oin gave
another reason he was too much interested
In the prettiest and most popular girl In
society, and hit father objected. But, within
the year sho lias married, be has returned
to Omaha again and ho and his l.rlde will
make their home here.
Aa to the other couple events ot the pas
week may make material changes In their
plans. It Is at least certain that they will
not have a large wedding, but whether so
ciety Is Included or not Its Interest' will be
there anyway, for both young peoplo are
Immensely popular and havo a host of
friends.
Not the leaet among the many important
functions planned for the full and early
winter la the Introduction of four young
women, daughters of four of tho city's
most prominent families. While no dates
have aa yet been given out, it la likely
- that Christmas time will sea all four for
mally launched. These young women arc:

Mr. F. P. Kirkendall; Miss Phoebe Smith,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Howard B.
Smith; Mist Mary Lee McShane, daughter

GERMANY CANTL0WER RATES
Two-Cent Pottaare with United Statea
Would Mean a General
Reduction.
BERLIN, Aug. 27. Postmaster General
Payne's suggestion that the time la at
hand for a 2-cent postage between tho
United Statea, Germany and Great Britain,
although the subject oi favorable comment
In the press, Is not regarded at the ministry
of posts as feasible-. Buch a proposal In
the International Postal congress would
bring out an Instructive interchange of
views, but the German postal delegates
would be against Its adoption. Were Ger
many to reach a 2-cent agreement, it would
be expected also by its neighbors, Switzer
land, Belgium, France and Holland. Con
sequently the question must bo considered
by Germany as a proposal for a one unit
postage with all countries. Thlt would
reduce the revenues by many million marks,
a reduction in income to which the finance
ministry is not likely to consent. The Am
sterdam Chamber of Commerce not long
ago asked The Netherlands government to
arrange r. domestic rate, but the Dutoh
government declined to act In the matter.

OYER THREE HUNDRED SACS
Entries for Omaha's Show from All Parts
of Country.
INDICATIONS POINT T0 BIG SUCCESS
Tnrntt'Ponr One Hnndred Hollar
Boxes Already Engaged at Audi
torium b- Jiocletj, Which
la Enthusiastic.
Entries for the horse show to data num
ber more than 3u0 and are from noted
ttables all the way from Toronto, Canada,
on the north to Atlanta, On., on the south,
and from Denver to New York. The Suc
cess of the enterprise, the first ever held
In Omahn, now seems assured. Prepara
tions have been carried forward in every
way satisfactorily, and when the horses
begin to arrive, s.bout the middle of Sep
tember, things will be In shipshape for
their reception.
As an Indication of the war the horse
show Idea is taking in Omaha is the fact
that twenty-four $100 boxes already have
been applied for. The big tan bark ring
In the Auditorium will be finished next
week, after careful and arduous work on
It construction. About" hnlf of the 130
stalls are completed and will be ready for
assignment within a few day.
Horse Show Potters.
Secretary Frank S. Cowglll hat recelvel
a limited number of official horse show
posters, which were obtained at a heavy
cost. For this reason they are being Is
sued to merchants under the express stip
ulation that they are to be placed In prom
inent positions In show windows and kept
there until after the show, when they re
vert to the association. Poster fiends will
thus be kept at arm's length until after
the show, when they may obtain the
trophies by application to the horse show
people. Merchants and others receiving
the posters are required to aign a contract
agreeing to the conditions. Secretary
Cowglll says:
"Omaha is soon to see one of the best
exhibits in fancy and practical horse flesh
and horse equippnge ever made In the mid
dle west, not even excepting the great
shew In St. Louis, where wor.ders were ac
complished. Just like they promise to be
accomplished here.
"The liveliest kind of Interest is being
manifested' by our horsemen and horse
owners, as well as by the cltiiens generally,
and as If In response to nil this enterptls.
It already Is assured fiat the entry list
will be as large as that o. any of the shows
where the affair Is a regular annual event.
"While Omaha alone will furnish a most
creditable display In high-class exhibits,
there are scores and soores of the best
kind of entries assured from abroad. The
prize list has ben most carefully prepared
and Is an especially satisfactory one. It
waa not determined upon until after the
most deliberate consideration of the man
agers and directors and is nbw pronounced
one of the most attractive that has yet
been offered at shows in cities of like im
portance." LAST WEEK AT J.AKE MANAWA

Hair -Vain?
Why not? A little vanity
Is a good thing. Perhaps
you can't be hair-vain, your
hair is so thin, so short, so
gray. Then use Ayer's Hair
Vigor. It stops falling of
the hair, makes the hair
grow, and always restores
color to gray hair.
" I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor for
over 40 years. I am now in my 91st
year and have an abundance of soft
brown hair, which I attribute to the use
of your preparation. ' Mrs. Msry A.

WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY
Considering that tho Nebraska Federation
of Women's clubs will elect almost a com
plete set of new officers at the coming
annual meeting, to be held at Seward
October U to 15, there is very little gossip
heard regarding possible candidates for the
first office. Mrs. W. E. Pase, having
served a second term, Is not eligible to re
election as president, and while last year
at- this time, when It was rumored that
she would decline a second nomination,
there were several candidates mentioned
Immedlatily, there is at present but one
woman whose name is being generally
talked that Is Mrs. H. M. Bushnell ot
Lincoln. Mrs. Bushnell is one of the best
known clubwomen of Nebraska being
prominent in her home city and alSb well
known from her service as an officer of the
Nebraska Federation and ns chairman of
one of Its standing committees. It Is very
well known among the members of the
Nebraska delegation at the St. Louis bi
ennial, that a prominent Omaha clubwoman
was approached by delegates from various
parts of the state and urged to allow her
name to be used us a candidate, but this
she refused to do, maintaining that that
office still belonged outside of Omaha, and
because having recently' been released from
the duties of a most responsible club office
In Omaha she had no desire to assumo the
duties of the state. However, It Is proba
ble that should she bo persuaded to be
come -a candidate, she would have the
support of almost all Omaha women, even
though they have objoctcd In the past to
this office being awarded to this city. Mrs.
Bushnell Is very popular among local club
women nnd having been a frequent visitor
here, is very well known and her candi
dacy meets with almost general approval.
The following women have been ap

Bloody Heart and Cross Formed by
-Leaves at the .Strauue
Plant.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Calvary clover,
a flower ttrangely Bytnbollo of the princi
ples ot Christianity, haa been planted at
the National Episcopal cathedral. Al
though It flourishes In Palestine and there
la some of it cultivated in London, It is
thought to be found in only one other place
In the United States.
Calvary clover leaves, like those of other
clovers, are trefoil, embodying the doctrine
of the Trinity, the central truth of Chrls
tlantty. . Soon after the plant begins to ap
pear above the ground a deep spot of red-
like blood appears upon each division of
the leaf, but this disappears after a few
aVeeks.
During the day the tiny leaflets form
themselves into the shape of a cross, and
at the tun sinka to rest the leaves again
fold together, It 'hat been suggested aa if
in prayer. In due time the biussom be
comes a small yellow flower and then a
spiral pod covered with thorns. In ripen
ing the llowert Interlace, and In their pe
culiar poaltiona many persons think they
can detect the outline of a crown. Tradi
tion says that It Is good fortune to plant
the seed of the Calvary clover on Oood
Friday.
