Women Rnleo Fnnda. The women of Han scorn Park Methodist church who assumed chief financial re sponsibility for the recent redecorating and furnishing of the church have planned a series of entertainments for the benefit of their treasury. Two of these entertain ments wil consist of programs of dramatic readings and music; a sacred concert has been arranged for another evening and a fourth will include a lecture on "Jean Val Jean" by the pastor, Rev. Scott Hyde. A Matter af Kdacntlon. Miss Chrystal Macmlllan, the brilliant woman who so- ably headed the Scottish women university graduates In their claim for a vote in choosing the member of Par liament elected from their colleges, has Issued an encouraging letter to these grad uates. It was she who pleaded their case and she urges them not to be discouraged, assuring them that although the House of Lords decided against them the cane has had a wonderful educational effect and has awakened Interest in circles that they have never before been able to reach. Miss Macmlllan Is confidant that their success Is merely a matter of education and that such opportunities for a dignified presentation of their claim, are not to be counted fail ures, even though they are unsuccessful In their results. Fortieth Anniversary. The Brooklyn Woman's club celebrsted Its fortieth anniversary January 1 and the celebration has occasioned wide comment, not for any unique feature, but because it marks another anniversary of this or ganisation of women who have so long stood for all that is best In culture In altruism and in progress. Only two of its founders are still living, but If these two women had also passed before the close of the year 1 the anniversary of the club would still have attracted attention, for Us organisers laid a foundation for a club that will continue to live and work. SO SAYS STREET EAILWAY MAN Arthnr Wortenbyke, at Karharh Block, Rnna Tils Flevatnr Bark and Forth Thronghont the Fire. "No, Blake will not be discharged be cause he broke a rule to save a boy's life," said Douls Ntsh, superintendent of trans portation of the street railway company. "I am not satisfied thet he did break a rule as far as that goes, but I suppose the narra tlve reads better thus. At any rate motor- men may be considered privileged to run ahead of their Schedule whenever a human life is at stake." Blake, who took the first car across the Douglas street bridge and for thirty years has never violated a company's rule even In thought, ran away ahead of time Thurs day in order that he might gain enough on his schedule to buy an outfit of clothes at his own expense for the boy of eight years, whom he picked up at the end of the Benson line, at the point of freeslng to death. Passongcra on the line did their best Friday to make Blake violate another rule about entering into conversation with motormen, for all wished to shake his hand and congratulate him. Partly because of the rule and partly because Blake Is modest and did not wish to talk of his feat, these passengers found him a tough proposition conversationally. Another Hero Bnba I p. Arthur Wortenbyke was another hero of Thursday. He la the elevator operator In the Karbach building where the film com pany fire occurred. He ran his car up and down throughout the blase and carried all the men and women of the fourth and fifth floors to the ground without disturbance to his customary nonchal ant air. His task was not an easy one, for the hallways and shaft were so filled with smoke that he could not see for a time and the excited condition of some of the male passengers did not render his task the easier. "The dressmaking girls were the calmest people around," said Wortenbyke, "and If you are getting up any fool hero article put them In, too. They were a whole lot more self-possessed than the men, or some of the men, anyhow. Of course they did not nave their eyebrows- singed off, as did a couple of the fellows in the film company office, which I suppose would make anyone more or less excited. "And. say. If you put In anything about me I'll lay for you." Society Gowns Bnrned. There Is woe and lamentation and bitter gnashing of teeth In West Famam precincts over the fire because some of the loveliest hand-built costumes and gowns there ever were perished In the flames. The consid erable number of society women who had taken up the fad of making their own clothes at the Moulton dressmaking school are weeping softly and saying: "What's the use? I did not mind those three linen suits, my dear, but that old Irish lace can never be replaced, and I don't suppose I can get a cent's worth of Insurance anyhow." Such a theme with the appropriate varia tions hus been sung in a minor key In a large number of boudoirs since the fire.

Judge Lee F.s telle who is presiding over the Juvenile department of the district court at preseni., made a strong- impression on a rialtsmouth audience a few evenings ago in an address on the training) of children. The Flattsmouth Journal gives this report of the meeting: One of the best things that It has been the opportunity of the people of Platts mouth to enjoy in many months was given In the Presbyterian church last night by Judge Lee 8. Kstelle of the Juvenile court, of Omaha. Judge Eetelle gave a graphic account of the work carried on In his court and discussed the sources of crime among children showing the responsibility of the state to protect the individual from society. as well as to protect socloty irom tne indi vidual. He showed how this Idea had devel oped and the great benefit acculng to the stale from this changed conception of responsibility. He emphasised the necessity of giving the child a chance, that l's divinely bestowed powers might have full development. He criticized the efforts of the schools to crowd into a child's mind too much mathematics when what he de manded was more culture of the sense of th beautiful. He told of numerous Inci dents of his own experience where children had been rescued from lives ol crime ana immortality by simply employing the art of trusting them and giving them to under stand that they were expected not to tnrow the Judge down. At times there were many eyes in the audience that were wot with tears ss they listened to the recitals of the pathetlo scenes. The Judge brought his little five year old son with him and the little fellow's tears at being parted from his father while he was speaking came Just toward the . close of the address, and the fatherly attention given to him Instead of being a detraction COATS $59.50 Coats, January half price sale, at $50.00 Coats, January half price sale, at $45.00 Coats, January half price sale, at $39.50 Coats, January half price sale, at $35.00 Coats, January half price sale, at $29.75 Coats, January half price sale, at $25.00 Coats, January half price sale, at $22.50 Coats, January half price sale, at $19.50 Coats, January half price sale, aU FUR COATS $115.00 Fur Coats, January half price sale, at $75.00 Fur Coats, January half price sale, at , . $65.00 Fur Coats, January half price sale, at $45.00 Fur Coats, January half price sale, at 29.75 25.00 22.50 19.75 17.50 14.85 12.50 11.25 9.75 57.50 37.50 .32.50 .22.50 75.00 FUR SETS $150.00 Mink Sets, January Half Price Sale at $100.00 Mink or Lynx Sets, January TtVti?. 50.00 $75.00 Mink or Lynx Sets, January Half Price Sale (J- gjj $05.00 Mink or Lynx Sets, January Half Price Sale 32 50 $50.00 Fur Sets, January Half Price T 25.00 $45.00 Fur Sets, January Half Price 22.50 $35.00 Fur Sets, January Half Price .

The strongest feature of the address came Just at the close In the way of an appeal to mothers to Inform their girls of the possible tragedy of a woman's life. There was scarcely a dry eye in the house as he closed with that tender appeal and the words of that beau tiful poem, "Mother Mine." HOW DECEPTIVE ISWEATHER In Other Words.

Go Into any store or shop or office In the city and express an opinion about the state of the temperature. Say It is warm, say It is cold, or say It Is Just, right, and ten to one the answer will be In accord. The ab solute temperature has seemingly little to do with many Individuals' views about the weather, and those who do not not wish to get into an argument far more heated than the actual temperature Just now have dis covered that the easiest way out Is to agree with whatever view is expressed. How fallible the ordinary Judgment Is about temperatures has often been shown by the experiment with the three basins of water, one hot, one tepid and one cold. By varying the order In which the hands are plunged In, the tepid basin can be made to feel decidedly warm or extremely cool. Thursday night about 8:30 two men emerged from the Bee building on Famam street. "My, It Is moderating rapidly," ejaculated one. " 'Tie, sure, any amount warmer than It was this afternoon," was the ready re sponse. As a matter of fact the weather had not moderated one particle since the afternoon. At I p. m. the thermometer registered 6 above sero and It registered precisely that same for every hour after up to 9 p. m.
