LUCKY WEDDING DAYS LEFT
Those Uspectlna- to Wed This Year
Must Obey Horoscope or Be
I'ukappy.
To anyone who thinks of marrying dur
ing the remaining months of 1!X7 astrology
lias some advice to offer as to the choice of
the day. There are days to avoid and days
to favor. So say the astrologers. Whether
the lovers will pay any attention to them Is
a point on whluh prophecy would be un
safe. '
Some of the good and bud days for mar
riages, until 19u7 runs Us course, are, ac
cording to Raphael, as follows:

Ii3ven kings must bow to the fateful In- 1
fluencd of the planets. Astrologers have
worked out their horoscopes and traced the'
workings of that Influence in their careers.
Thus, for Instance, tho rupture of the great
Napoleon's marriage with the Empress
Josephine is traced to the fact that, while
their birthdays weTe more or less hurmonl
ous. their horoscopes were particularly an
tagonistic, j
Then George JV, born on August 12, lii2,
was not happy with his wife, Caroline of
Brunswick, born on iluy 17, 1768. Astro
UoglcaJly, the renjon was Inharmonious I
horoscopes, a cause to which the astrolo
gers also attribute the divagreenients of
Henry VIII with his various wives.
"Tlieie have been countless Instances of
uuhuppy marriages In the ist for which
the plunets arc primarily responsible," said
an astrologer In London. "Milton and Nel
son arc only two examples. Tilled und even j
royal personages of toduy are fatally in- j
Huencvd lit their murriuKc relations by the
heavens. On the other hand, we have In- 1
maiicrs of happy unions Kli.g Alfonso and
liis queen, for example where the purties
have unconsciously obeyed the laws of as
trology.'" A more Interesting part of the subject
was approached in the uuestion. "Can as
trology predict with uoy certainty the be!
day and month for a marriage?''
"Yes, with certain limitations." was the
reply. "TIw date of marriage has no effect
m the parties' destiny. If their horoscope
are antagonistic. In certain cases, how
ever, flnew no two n'rsors' horoscopes are
exactly alike, thv date tuts a good or bad
elfett."

WHAT CLUB WOMEN ARE D01XC
Executive Board of General Federa
tion Invited to Meet Here.
MRS. DECKER IS WHUffO TO COME
V. W. C. A. Will Be at Home Thanks
, gl-ilnar to All loans; Women,
Kerlally Strangers In
the City.
The Omaha Woman's club will ilivllc the
executive board of the General Federation
of Women's clubs to hold Its next meeting
in Omaha, and prospects are lair that the
Invitation will be accepted. This decision
was reached at Monday afternoon's general
meeting of the club, following the BUKges
l tlon cf Mrs. Draper Smith. The board in
cludes the seven executive officers and
eight directors of the General Federation;
Mrs. Sarah Piatt Decker of Denver, presi
dent; Mrs. Fhlllp N. Moore, vice president,
of St. Louis; Mrs. May Alden Ward, sec
ond vice president, Boston; Mrs. Charles
A. Perkins, corresponding secretary, Knox
vllle, Tenn.; Mrs. John Dickinson Sherman,
recording secretary, Chicago; Mrs. JoslaTV
Evans Cowles, treasurer, Los Angeles.
Tho next meeting will be held the latter
pnrt of January or early In February for
final consideration of the program of the
blennlul convention of the General Federa
tion, which will be held In Boston next
June, Mrs. Percy Fennj backer of Texas
being chairman of the program committee
and also a member of the council. Mrs.
Draper Smith reported that when she saw
Mrs. Decker not long ago, she was enthusi
astic about holding the meeting in Omaha,
and this. It Is believed, will go far toward
deciding the meeting place. As the board
members pay their own expenses, the meet
ing here will entail no obligation upon the
local women, other than such courtesies
as aro due such a body of women. Mrs.
Decker said that the board could accept
no more than ono social function In its
honor. Tho Omaha Woman's club, In addi
tion to extending the Invitation, voted to
hold a reception In honor of the board if
tho Invitation is accepted. This reception
will "probably take tho place of the annual
New Year'n reception, as New Year's day
usually makes demands upon the club
women, that, with the several other an
nual public receptions on that day. have
detracted much from the attendance.
Seven new members were announced
Monday afternoon, and the membership
of the club continues to gain.
Women I'rgeA to Vote.
The women wero urged to vote on school
matters Tuesday, and to see that tho men
of their families gave proper consideration
to school matters. They were also re
minded to do their voting as far as possible
at that time of day when the polls were
less In use by business men and others
who have but limited time. '
Miss Jano Gannet, physical director of
the Young Women's Christian association,
Bpoke briefly of the now work recently
undertaken by the association In tho way
of physical culture. She explained the pur
pose of tho gymnasium as directed to the
nil 'round physical development of all i
women, young or old, and calculated to
develop grace and case as well as health.
Mrs. Byera, general secretary of the asso
ciation, also spoke brlofiy of the work of
the physical department, explaining that
much can bo done for women In the pres
ent quarters, even though they aro not
what Is anticipated when the new building
Is complete. The club manual was Issued
Monday afternoon, and Includes besides the
data and constitution of the club a roster
of Us membership.
The progrem was under the direction of
the household economics department, and
consisted of a talk on birds by Dr. 8. R.
Towne, at which the children of club mem
bers were guests of the club.

TIMELY GAME BIRD RECIPES
Something- of How They Should
repared mm Well as How to
Nerve Them.
Re
It is not a difficult matter to roast birds,
but like all else In good cooking It re
quires cure, as game is easily spoiled by
over-roasting. The first tiling to do Is to
pluck, draw, singe and truss them. In
choosing purtrldges see that tho legs are
yellow and tho Mil dark. White-legged
fowls are beat for boiling, and dark for
rousting. Pheasants may be chosen as
ubove. Young birds are known by the
short or round spur, which In the old
are long and pointed.
To bone birds, first take out the breast
bone, then there will be sufficient snace
to remove the buck, using a sharp knife.
Next the leg bones; the skin must not he
broken, but the meat of the legs must
be piiKhed Inwards; this Is a difficult
operation to one who Is not an exper
ienced cook.
A delicious way to roast reed birds
Is to sehot large white potatoes. rut off
one end and hollow out the potato suffi
ciently large- to hold the bird. Season
each reed bird with pepper ami salt and
place a lump of butter Inside. Insert in
the potato: grease the pan thoroughly
an.l pour In a lltUe water; then put in
the birds prepared as above directed.
These should be served In the baking
disu. which is brought to table with a
napkin tied ar und it..
Heed and all oiher small birds when
picked and cUancd must have a piece
of butter the size of u hickory nut placed
iimlde; then roll them in the yolk of an
egg: then in breadcrumbs; tie and truss;

then cleaned and trussed; they require
care In cleaning. They are a great deli
cacy when properly prepared; they are
basted and dredged like poultry. It Is
best not to stuff them as the stuffing ab
sorbs the flavor of the bird. A piece of
butter the s'xe of a walnut should be put
Inside. Thirty minutes Is allowed for
roasting.
To Broil a Partridge Clean the bird;
cut off the feet and head; cut It down
the back and spread open: wash end wipe
dry and place on a heated gridiron; baste
frequently with a little butter and turn
often. Allow thirty minutes for cooking.
Serve on a heated dish; put a small piece
of butter on the bird and pour over one
tea spoonful of boiling water. Serve Im
mediately; caro should be taken to keep
the gridiron perfectly clean.
Boiled Patrldges Clean the birds care
fully, cut off the feet and head; truss the
legs, then put them on to boll and cover
v-ith oold water, boll slowly for one hour,
Uke them out and serve with celery sauce.
Celery Sauce Wash two small heads of
celery and cut them Into pieces one Inch
long; boll In one pint of water an half
teaspoonful of salt; rub one tablespoonful
of butter In the same quantity of flour
until freo from lumps, then stir It into
one pint of W cream (or half cream and
half milk), add the celery, let It bell up
and serve hot.
Partridge Pie-Tak six partrldres, on

Irt the same amount of flour until per
fectly smooth. Add some of the water In
which the partridges were boiled and
put in a dish lined with paste. The birds
must only be parboiled. Cover the pie with
a crust of rich raste and bake for half an

Merchants Despatch Continues.

Bee: In your Issue' of The Bee of Thurs
day, October 31. was published an article
headed "Merchants; . Despatch : Quits."
Both the heading,' and. wording of this ar
tlclo were very n)uch In error and very
apt to be misleading1 'o the readers of
eame. Ko muchj j so ' that some of the
patrons of the Merchants' Despatch were
about to discontinue specifying Merchants'
Despatch routing on their shipments and
thereby cause considerable loss to that
line. While It may be true that aomo
changes have taken place in the Internal
affairs of tho company, no changes are
contemplated that would have any effect
with shippers other than a greater terri
tory and better service. The Merchants'
Despatch has no intention of quitting
business and will continue to give it

M'VEA 0RDERS SANITATION
City Pluaublnir Inapeetor Condemns
the System la the Conrt
House.
Assenting the Douglas county court house
and tho county Jail are In an unsanitary
condition from top to bottom. City Plumbing
Inspector If. W. McVea has ordered the
county commissioners to make some radical
changes in the closets in both buildings
and to provide ventilation for the sewer
pipe traps, so that noxious aewer gas may
be discharged into the open air Instead of
being allowed to, permeate the entire build
ing. The communication which has been
received from Mr. McVea has been re
ferred to the court house and jail commit
tee and will be acted on at a meeting of the
board In the near future.
The plumbing inspector Insists on changes
being made In every toilet room In the two
buildings and directs that fixtures which
are now being used be replaced by fixtures
made of marble, porcelain or some material
that can be kept in a sanitary condition.
Some of his instructions would require the
replacing of mont of the fixtures in some
of the closets. Somo of the other fixtures,
he huys, while not in violution of the city
ordinances ure lwisunilary aud ought to be
replaced by modern conveniences. The re
port Indicates the fixtures at the Jail are
In unsanitary condition und should be re
newed and new ones Installed.
Considerable agitation for a change In
the sanitation of the court house has been
going on among the employes. It came to I
a head a few weeks ago when some one
crammed a wire down one of the pipes and '
causd It to burst, letting the water run
down Into the vault in the county clerk's
office. The damage was repaired and since
then conditions have not been so bad.
The principal oliJcXioi found by the em
ployes la ia the' lack of ventilation of some
of the closets. The only means of venti
lating Is by opening the door to the main
hall of the building. As the sewer pipe
traps are not connected with any outside
ventilating de-vice whatever, sewer gas
finds Its way Into the corridors and from
there into the offices of the building. Sev
eral protests have been made by officials
on account of the conditions.
Chairman Kennard of the court house
and jull committee has the .communication
aud will present it at a meeting of his com.
mltlee witlUo a few days. He said Monday
the condition of tie plumbing In the court
house was better than it has been for some
time owing to some repulis which were
made after the flooding of the, county
clerk's vault.

DUTY INCITES WOMEN TO WAR
Impost on Powder Puffs Precipitates
Riot Among Fair Ones.
C0RTELY0TJ FIRST MAN ELAMED
On Down the Line Come the Irata
Frotestants and Finally Land
on Mayor Jim with
Threats.
While Secretary of the Treasury Cortel
you Is praised for his action In going to
the rescue of New York bunks, one llttlo
act, said to have been committed since,
may cost him an explosion of a presidential
boom. If it docs not entirely wreck it.
Powder puffs have advanced In price
about 100 per cent, and Secretary Cortel
you. In his effort to get more money to put
Into circulation, is blamed for the out
rageous piece of extortion as it la termed
by the fair ones and thoso who would be
fair.
In a Farnam street drug store window the
notice was served on the unsuspecting pub
lic and a panic ensued.
"Powder Puffs Will Be Subject to a
Heavy Duty In the Future The Price Will
Advance in Proportion Now Is the Time
to Buy."
Such was the sign of the heartless drug
gist and dealer In complexion aides. From
the manufacturers It was learned the gen
erul appraiser, acting on tho advice of the
secretary of the treasury, had ordered
that a duty of 44 cents the pound and f5
cents ad valorem, would bo collected on
powder puffs In the future. It Is the. first
time the appraiser ever took revenge on
tho women to such an extent and the edict
Is pronounced "heartless," "horrid,"
"cruel." "just awful" and "something
which will prevent American woman win
ning in the International beauty conteRt
started by Sunday newnpspcrs."
, Ballet Girls Kick.
The heap of swansdown was just about
half In the druggists' window and the sign
was still sticky with stovo polish when
some ballet girls 'heard about It.
"I won't go on tonight," said one of tho
pretty ones, "unless the management agrees
to furnish powder puffsi after this. It is
Just terrible. I could buy two strings of
beads or pay for a meal myself once with
the money I would have to pay to give the
country some duty with which to light tho
Theatrical trust."
Then the flare-back came. The manager
telephoned tho druggist: "Say, what are
you handing those girls. If the general
appYalM-r has an agent here he ought to
have u bodyguard. That chorus Is furious.
I cannot secure another one as good In
the country, and I can't buy powder puffs
after this. My chorus would cost more
than a ballet of prima donnas." '
The druggist told the theatrical man it
was straight dope. The duty would have to
be paid hi the future and lie would hate to
sell the present lot to a theatrical company
to take out of Omaha.
Then a telephone girl heard about It and
the druggists' sign traveled by wire all over
Omaha. The girls dropped tholr fancy work
and called to the nearest clerk: "What do
you think powder puffs are going to coat
twice as much." "I would like to get at
that fellow," s'lid the g-iii in a hotel ex
change. Irate Woiua a Blames Mayor,
Mayor Jim heard of the sign about noon
when a husky feminine voice almost tor
the mica disc out of his silver-tongued
telephone.
"I'm a married woman," she suld. 'I
have used powder putts for yeoxa and I
suppose you have done all this becuuje
someone asked you to do it. I am going
to send my husband to your office tills
evening. He's a boller-niaWer and will
have some things to say to you."
This never touched Mayor Jim, as h
is not at the office In the evenings, but
a fordady caused the com boy nr ulin
(it f vl
to turn a few shades paler when she
shouted over the telephone:
"You are responsible for the duty on
powder puffs, I know you are, and every
girl on this door controls from three to
live votes. You better pick tho guber
natorlal bee out of your sombrero, or tlx
up the powder pult market."
Meanwhile the news spread up Farnaiu
street and out on the south side, the
vibrations coming back to tho hotel sten
ographers and the cash register queens;
It found tho peeresHcs of the heantv nnr.
lors at lunch tlmo and tho cloak models
during the afternoon. Everyone tele
phoned to someone In authority, somo to
the health officer, others to the post
master and some to the democratic head-
