FRIDAY Mra.'' V. L. Belby, a card pnrty.
A half rtoien visiting girls and women
saved last week from absolute dullness,
for. excepting n few card parties, every
thing wus given In honor of somebody." As
It was. the week aas full, although in the
main the affairs were ordinary enough.
The small luncheon parties were especially
numerous: there were not days enough to
gr around among the many women who
would have complimented the visiting
itat the amnll evening card parties
were nearly as numerous. This wek la t.ot i
.mUinr ir m la to tudee bv the I
" Y . i
calendar, but of course every one knows i
better than that nowadays, and as mere are
sat til a number of visiting girls In town,
almost anything mny be expected, for peo
ple have to be entertained, especially if the
people happen to be bright, attractive
women.
The' Visiting Nurses" association has re
quested that other hostesses refrain ftpm
entertaining Monday afternoon and even
ing, February 25. For the last eight years
tho association has observed Washington's
birthday, unless it fell on a Sunday, by
giving a birthday party. In the past Nome
of the spacious homes of the city have
been throvn open for this occasion, which
consists of a reception with a program.
The last few years, however, the attend
ance has been so large that even the
largest homes were Insufficient to accom
modate the attendance, and last year the
Blka gave the uae' of their club rooms
for the birthday party. It also happened
that a number of other hostesses had
chosen that day for entertaining and In
consequence many of the stnunchest
friends of the association were unable to
attend Ite reception. While invitations
are Issued to this reception, a general In
vitation la also extended, as It is Impos
sible, to reach all by card. Accompanying
tha Invitation la the request ,that ench
guest bring a penny for each year of her
age or more. If she or he desires. About
l.iXO little silk bags are sent nut each
year to be returned wltt) .the money. As
this birthday party Is the only established
f harlty . foretlon given In Omaha, the
members of the association have not hesi
tated tq ask that February 22 be dedi
cated to thla occasion when the public
may make Ha offering to one of the moit
worthy of the elty'a oharltlea. Thla year
the reception will be continued during the
evening as well aa tha afternoon that the
men may attend aa well as the women.
While the place haa not yet been definitely
decided upon, the reception probably will
be held tn the Elks' club rooms, aa they
are large and easily accessible.
A belated Christmas gift that must ap
peal to all lovers of the unusual and
beautiful reached Mra. Bertha Cohn of

her son, Mr. Harry Cohn, assistant 1'nlted

WHAT DO YOU CARE?
YOU'VE GOT YOUR
HEALTH.
Great natures Do Not Deapalr at Dla-
appolntment They Look for
Something- Else to Do.
The broad-gauged man of today doea
not get blue Just because thlnga don't al
ways come hla way unless there la some
thing the matter with him. If he "falla
down" on one proposition he immediately
starts to look up another. He always looks
forward and keeps on hustling. A man
with his health and hla faculties has plenty
of opportunities snd the man who gives
up or even feels like It has either a small
nature or soms physical weakness.
Dyapepala certainly puta the. best of men
out of condition for work of any kind.
You cannot blame the dyspeptic for getting
blue. The very nature of hla dlaeaae Is
most depressing snd calculated to deprive
him of ambition, energy and hope- There
is hope for him, however, certain and
sure.
Stusrt's Dyspepsia Tablets are recog
nized throughout ths length snd breadth
of the land as the one cure that's safe and
sure. Thelrunbounded popularity result
ing from the thousands and thousands of
cures they have effected, prove beyond the
shadow of a doubt their greatness ss a
cure. Wherein lies their grestness? In
the very fact that they are vature's own
simple remedy. They do the exaot work
In exactly the aams way that the digestive
fluids of the stomach do because they are
composed of exactly the same elements
and possess the same properties. They re
lieve the weak and worn out stomach of
Its burden or digestion snd permit It with
out let or hindrance to rest and grow
aound and well. The atomach will get well
quick enough In Its own natural way If It
la let alone. )'hat,ls what Stuart's Dy
spepsia Tableta do. They not only let It
alone themselves, but make the food taken
into the stomach do the same.
You can satisfy yourself of the truth f
this statement by putting th food you
would eat Into a (lass Jar with sufficient
at the home of Mra.
avenue.
water and one of 8'uart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets. Th process of digestion will be
taken up and carried out Just aa th gas
trin Juic and other digestive fluids would
do it. Their action Is natural and they
cause no disturbance In the digestive
gans. In fact, you forget you hav a
stomach when thy begin to do their work,
a mild and natural Is th operation.
Htuart' Dyspepsia Tablets are for salt by

Dr. Hyde. . whose home is In Dublin.
Ireland. Is the father and hem ,.r the
movement just now stilting the itjxli nice
for the preservation of Its language. Two
years ago the poet Yeats came to Am-flea
cm the same errand, and now the moving
spirit of t lie- campaign Is here himself to
give it new Impetus. He hue been en-
thusitiKtically received wherever he li.is p-
penred. ami In New York. Boston. ChlidKO.
Philadelphia and other cities his welcome
personally has only been overshadowed I y
the fact that Irishmen of all reiiKions
have vied with each other In doing liim
honor und in contributing to the fund he
Is raising for the furtherance of the c b
Jcct of the Gaelic league of Ireland. Dr.
Hde speaks of his mission In this wise:
"Ireland is now engaged upon the last
great battle of the race, a battle Hr the
preservation of Its language. More thnn
that, we are engaged In the lust meat
buttle of the Irish race for the preserva
tion of ita own Identity. Today the l-lsh
language la being taught In 3.000 schools
and not less than 25,noo people jre study
ing the language and the history of their
forefathers."
Perhaps the dearest reason for the ex
istence of the Gaelic league, to scholars,
at least, is the preservation of tolk lore,
unwritten and existing only in the ifdehc
tongue. Much of this has been rescued
from threatened oblivion and preserved to
the world by Dr. Hyde and his society.
The local committee, of which C. J.
Smyth is chairman and D. J. O'Done.noe
secretary, has already named sub-committees
to arrange all the details for Dr.
Hyde'e visit to Omaha.
