The discontinuing of the week end din
ner and dance at the Country club la.it
evening presages the close of the summer
season and la the first signal that autumn
Is at hand. While the closing conies ear
lier this year than usual It Is only a few
week ahead and these closing weeks are
rarely as gay, for society has too many
other demands at this season to kill time.
No definite closing dates have been an
nounced for the other clubs, but the sea
son cannot last much longer.
A large number of engagements have
been announced recently, and many of the
weddings arc scheduled for this fall. The
first will be that of Miss Alice Towne,
daughter of Dr. and Mrs. 8. R. Towne, to
Mr. Fred Deweese of Lincoln, which will
take place Thursday at the new home of
the bride's parents near West Dodge
street. It will he a quiet home wedding
and only relatives and a few intimate
friends will be present. The next wedding
on the social calendar la that of Miss Jane
Blanchard, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J
B. Blanchard, to Mr. Howard McMonlcs of
Lyons, Nib., which will take place
Wednesday evening, September 15, at 8:30
at the home of the bride's parents on
Georgia avenue.
An Interesting announcement of the
week was that of the engagement of Miss
Helen Rlbbel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
George Rlbbel, to Lieutenant John Pull
man of the Second Cavalry, U. 8.
A., stationed at Fort Dea Moines.
Lieutenant Pullman Is the son of Colonel
Pullman of the Quartermaster's depart
ment, Vnlted States army, who was for
merly stationed here.. The wedding will
take place In November, after which the
young couple will go to the Philippines,
where Lieutenant Pullman will be sta
tioned. MIhs Ribbel Is a graduate of
Smith college and her many friends regret
that her marriage will take her away from
Omaha to reside.
Another Interesting engagement an
nounced Is that of Miss Julia Hlgginson of
Chicago, formerly of Omaha, to Mr. Rich
ard Ilollin of Chicago. The wedding will
take place this fall. Miss Hlgglnson mae
her debut In Omaha society and was very
popular here, where she has visited friends
at different times since moving to Chi
cago. She la a striking brunette and wan
one of the best gowned young women In
local social circles. The marriage of Miss
Loratne Comatock to Mr. Harold Evarts
will also be one of the fall weddings. This
will take plHce some time In October. Most
of the full bildes are college girls and
Miss Comstock Is not an exception, having
attended both the University or Nebraska
and Smith college. The date of the wed
ding of Miss Faith Potter and Mr. Hugh
Weed of St. Louis has not been decided
and may not take place until spring. The
wedding of Miss Grace Conant and Mr.
Arthur Rogera will probably tnke place In
the late fall.
This la an age of Improvements as well
as luxury, and the grownups are not the
only ones to benefit. A new toy which
few fortunate Omaha children enjoy la
the athletic slide, or coaster. It resembles
closely the chutes, which are built at all
watering places for the swimmers to slid
down Into the water. These slides fo
the children are smaller and minus the
water, the children landing safely on th
lawn. Master William Hynes has one of
the largest of these athk-tic slides and
the children of the neighborhood enjoy
themselves Immensely. Little Miss Fred
erlcka Nash and Bennl and Virginia Cot
ton also have one on the lawn at th
home of Mrs. Herman Kountse. Little
Miss Cornelia Haura also haa one. Master
llearkness and little Miss Gertrude Kountse
have a winter slide on which they can
use their all-da, this being much larger,
and even wider people have had sport on
thla "shoot the chutes."

ANOTHER LIGHT THAT FAILED
Heanlta Have Not Justified Advance
Notice of Denaturlaed
Alcohol.
The recent announcement by the Agri
cultural department that Its experiments
show the cost of denatured alcohol to ex
ceed that of gasoline, with which It waa
expected to prove a competitor. Is one of
the many indications tht our free al
cohol endeavor haa proved disappointing.
Some months before, the Internal Reve
nue bureau lessened the number of Its
agents assigned to free alcohol. The
small part which It plays In the retail
trade relatively few people seeming to
know of Its existence Is further Indica
tion that the reform which was long so
enthusiastically urged has fallen badly
short of expectations.
But this Is' only one side of the story;
It by no means marks the close of the
chapter. Aa Mr. McCall said, after the
hearings before th committee, free alco
hol lies at the basis of Industrial prosper
ity of Germany. That country can obtain
gasoline as cheaply as we can, since
Standard OH products are distributed
widely over the world. Why should a
commodity prove so extraordinarily serv
iceable on one side ot the water and fall
Into relative disuse on the other? With
our abundant agricultural resources we
ought to produce alcohol even to better
advantage than the Europeans. But w
have not carried legislation to the point
of making It practicable. In Germany to
day 90 per cent of the denatured alcohol
Is made on the farms; none of it is so
in ado here.' The complications involved .in
our supervision of the Industry are such
that It can be conducted only In largo es
tablishments, and most of these are sup
posed to be In the control of the "whisky
trust." which Is not Interested In advanc
log the use of this commodity. One In
dependent concern In Boston, however, 1j
making Industrial alcohol from molasses.
The United States Solvents Recovery
company of Fall River, after getting Un
cle Sam to pi escribe regulations for the
export of this alcohol, has shipped a large
quantity ot it to England at a reasonable
profit.
Some agricultural conditions have
counted against our development of this
Industry. When the law was passed corn
had for the preceding ten years been sell
ing on the farm at thirty-two cents a
bushel; during the last three years it ha
risen to sixty-five cents and often eighty
five cents. Denatured alcohol has, more
over, while not displacing gasoline In the
uses which that serves, gone Into certain
Industrial processes to great advantage.
Chloroform, which cost sixty cents n
pound before the law was enacted, has
been so greatly reduced In price that the
rate of duty on that article in the Payne
bill was reduced to one-half of the old
figure. The same Is true ot celluloid,
spirit varnish and various other articles.
Free alcohol Is thus coming, but coming
slowly. Boston Transcript.
