In full awing and holding regular meeting.
But thle year there has been a noticeable
change In the membership of Rome of the
clubs- and a large number of the moat
fashionable bridge club havo not re
turned thnlf meetings at all. The depar
ture of eo many of the members for winter
resorts acema to be tho principal excuxe
for this. The Sewing club, which la com
posed of about fifteen cf the most promi
nent young matroni in Omaha society will
probably reorganize shortly oefure Lent.
The Wednesdny Kensington club has dis
solved and Instead there Is a new club
which meets every Friday. Mrs. Lynn
Kemper was hostess at the meeting today
and the members of the club are Mesdames
A. II. Fetters, N. F. .Harrlman. R. W.

For the Future
Brents of Interest That Aro On
Tho Xiooal aoclal Calendar That
Promise Much of Pleasure,
A pretty favor dancing party will be
given this evening by Mrs. and Mrs. G.
Stors at their home on West Farnam street
in honor of little Miss Elsie Storz and
Master Robert Stors. A bright decoration
of red and white will be used ln all of the
appointments.
There will be ton dances and a favor will
be given with each dance. There will be
no programs and the dances will alternate.
First the boys will choose partners by giv
ing favors and then the girls will have an
opportunity of choosing partners. Holly,
red roses, red carnations and red-shaded
candles will transform the ballroom, which
Kitchen Utensils
W
1
HILE there Is Mttle change In
the shapes and varieties of
kitchen pota and pans, each
svuson Improvements are
mado In cooking utetmlla
so they suve time or money" and some
times a combination of both.
Now that cooking by gas Is almost
universal, housekeepers will be In
terested ln hearing about a cooker
which guarantees to save halt the
giis and do the cooking efficiently.
This new economical device consists
of two heavy triangular pieces of
black enamelled steel, placed one Inch
apurt, with u steel strip or band In
vertical position between the two. To
confine the heat It Is lined with
asbestos.
There are throe holes, one In each
angle, upon which the cooking vessels
are placed, but only one burner of gas
Is lighted, the heat being distributed
so that each pot or kettle receives an
equal amount of heat. Should only
one or two vessels be used at one
time a damper closes over the other
hole or holes.
The contrivance la also good for
heating Irons, three or four being
evenly heated from the one burner.
Broir.ng and toasting may be done
over the cooker without fear of burn
ing. It is said. v
The price la l.60.
Then thoro Is a new egg beater.
which certainly la the quickest and
tnost simple device for making crejun
whip, mayonnaise or beating eggs
that one could wish.
It la operated by one hand by a
short up and down rtroke. No beat
ing Is necessary, and there aro no
wheela to clog or get out of order. It
can bo used In any kind of a bowl,
although thero Is a special mixer that
can be bought separately. If desired.
This bowl has a slight depression ln
tbe bottom ln which the end of the
beater rests, preventing slipping. They
cost 15 and 2S cents each, according to
else.
As a tlmo and labor saver when
freezing has to be done, there Is an
lee cream freezer that svems superior.
It Is operated by a cord wound around
a reel on the cover. This cord Is
pulled rapidly its full length, and
then let go to wind up again. This Is
repeated for about two minutes. The
can of cream is then lifted out and
the frozen portion scraped off. After
replacing, the cord is put Into mo
tion again and the freezing perfected.
Tho entire procesa consumes five
minutes only. Less ice and salt Is
required, so It la claimed, than by
any other freezer, and four kinds of
Ice cream can be made at the same
time. If desired.
There Is the usual variety of agate
and enamelled wear. The latter comes
ln both light and dark blue, as well
as white, and all lined with white
enamel. '
The gray agate Is the most popular
of all kitchen ware, and so for this
reason each and every article used In
cooking Is manufactured In the gray.
The lino in enamelled ware Is less
extensive, although the usual articles
aro made.
Now that It Is so much the custom
to give bridal showers, and a kitchen
shower being not unusual, a large
department storo has hit upon the
novel arrangement of grouping kitchen
outfits together at Inclusive rates.
These outfits range ln price from $13
to I1V0 and Include everything from
the gas range to tho mixing spoon.

All the districts of the Nejjraska federa
tion of clubs have definitely decided upon
the meeting places for their spring con
ventions, but the Fifth district alone has
decided upon Its date. This convention will
be held at Hastings, April 21 and 22. The
afternoon of April 21 will be devoted to an
educational and literary session and tho
morning of the 22d to business. Special
stress will' be laid upon the serious obliga
tion of convention delegates ln getting all
they can fro.n :. meeting and taking It back
to their clubs.
The First diJtrict will meet at Pawnee
City the latter part of April and the Second
district at South Omaha. The club of Walt

time ln April; the Fourth district will meet
at Seward, and theSlxth district will hold
two metings, one at Ord and another at

This change has been proposed several
times In tbe state convention, but It has
not been felt that the clubs were ready for

Says Critic.
rlth
Wushlngton society Is In the main com
posed of people of slender means, with
here und there a very rich man or woman
from no one knows where, whose obscurity
of origin Is temporarily lost sight of In
the rivers of champagne and tons of terra
pin with which the community Is flooded
by them. Its backbone, however, are men
and women of talent and achievement.
Tins is not to be wondered at either, when
you consider that outside of the compara
tively small class of very wealthy people
who go to Washington to enjoy the even
ing of their lives and a well-earned rest,
nearly every one, be he a member of con
gress, an army or navy man, a scientist
attached to one of the departments, a dip
lomat or Jurist, was In all likelihood a
leader In his community, a man ln whom
his friends had confidence, a man who had
distinguished himself In humbler surround
ings, and who owes his presence in Wash
ington today, therefore, to that fact. In
other words. Washington society is largely
made up of men and women who have
'arrived.' There are, no doubt, 'climbers'
ln It, but their number is small, and, to
last, they have to display their cleverness
pretty thoroughly. In the long run Wash
ington Is not a good field for them.
"But can It be that the good women of
Washington were caunht too young, or not
young enough?" continues a critic. "Can
it be that early marriages with struggling
young men blunted their capacity ln after
life of finding themselves,' of doing the
vory thing for which, as I havo already
said, Am-ican women stand pre-eminent
hero and abroad? Whatever the cause, the
truth Is that a comparison between women
In Washington society and others elsewhere
Popularity of Luncheon Giving;.
"Luncheons are being glveirmuch more
frequently now than ln other duys," says
a writer ln Vogue. "We are having
more holidays, perhaps, and on Saturdays
town looks forlorn after 1 o'clock. Cer
tainly they are much In favor at Tuxedo,
as at all the country places within motor
ing distance of town.
"At Chevy Chase, near Washington,
Sunday Is always so gay at this time that
tables have to be engaged weeks ln ad
vance. Many people in town entertain
during the season with Sunday lunch
eons and ln the evening either dine witn
friends or go to one of the restaurants.
However, women usually stay at home
until 6, or at least are visible until that
time, for they must have a day on which
.men can call. Several of tho November
brides gave large luncheons shortly be
fore their wedding days, inviting the entire
bridal party and Intimate friends.
"borne old fashioned hostesses cling to
bouillon pcrhups because they have pretty
china cups but otherwise It Is quite out of
fashion. Three courses are ample for lunch
eon, which begins with hors d'oeuvres ana
sliold include one entree. Then there is
a roast or chicken or chops or anything
of that kind and a salad and simple des
sert. One wine, usually Rhine or hock or
claret, may be served, and a half hour
after luncheon, as wen us' dinner, bottled
mineral water (the Imported is better form
than the domestic) tnould be brought to
the drawing room.
"Once every few seasons there Is some
thing really new ln the way of things to
eat, but I have found that the old fash
ioned viands are the best if they are really
well cooked We do not like fussy dislies
nowadays, owing perhaps to the many
systems for aiding the digestion and keep
ing thin.
"Suine hostesses remain falthfiil to grape
fruit as an introduction to luncheon and
others to oysters or clams. Hut neither
the oyster nor the clam cocktail is par
ticular good form. The hois Q'oeuvres Is
safer, because several may be served In
tiie French manner and every one has a
choice, wliile there are many who fear
oysters or clams, claiming thai they Induce
typhoid something which I do not be
lieve. "Another gastronomic fad now generally
taboo Is the extraordinary salad, and all,
except lobster und a chicken mayonnaise,
nave French dressing. A green salad is
best, and next to that olio of endives.
With plinentoes, or green peppers, they
make a pretty dish, and the combination
Is healthful."

grab, at It to fling It away you find It Is
a lizard. Or perhaps a scorpion may be
playing with your hair.
"Then, when you have decided to get
up and reach for your boots you are apt
to find that a big tarantula has made up
his mind that one of them would make a
comfortable house, and has put himself
and his legs ln there so cosily and nice
that you hate to disturb him. We caught
one of these Johnnies and killed him and
measured him, and without stretching him
at ai:, It was eight Inches from the tips of
his starboard legs to those he carried on
the port side.
"Perhaps your other shoe has been ap
propriated by a family of giant centipedes,
which abound ln large quantities.
"As for snakes, the Garden of Eden
wasn't In it at all. Some of the big ones,
the anacondas, are as big around as your
body, and it was not unfrequent that some
of our men In chopping away at what they
thought were giant roots or vines found
they had taken a hack Instead at a big
snake, and then there was some scamper
ing. "One of these big fellows that was killed
by the men of our party measured twenty
seven feet. We had him skinned and
photographed Just for proof. You never

How Woman Was Mado.
According to the Hindoo legend, this Is
the proper origin of women: Twashtrl,
the God Vulcan of the Hindoo mythology,
created the world, but on his commencing
to create woman he discovered that for
man he had exhausted all his creatlva
materials, and that not one solid element
had been left. This, of course, greatly
perplexed Twashtrl, and caused him to
fall into a profound meditation. When
,ie arose from It he proceeded as foKows:
He took
The roundners of the moon.
The undulating curves of the serpent.
The graceful twist of the creeping plant.
The light shivering of the grass blade
and the slenderness of the willow.
The velvety softness of the flowers.
The lightness of the feather.
' The gentle gaze of the doe.
The frollcsomeness of the dancing sun
beam. v
The tears of the cloud.
The Inconstancy of the wind.
The timidity of the hare.
The vanity of tho peacock.'
The hardness of the diamond.
The cruelty of the tiger.
The heat of the fire.
The chill of the snow.
The cracking of the parrot.
The cooing of the turtle dove. ,
All these he mixed together and forme
a woman.
And he presented her to man. Horn

said. "Of course, a surveying party sim
ply has to hew Its path as It goes along,
und your camp Is usually ln a clearing
Just big enough to contain it. About It Is
a thick wall of trees, vines and under
growth that a man cannot pierce without
the aid of an axe, but which, of course,
are filled with every manner of creeping
things.
"When you awake In the morning, for
Instance, you may see a playful snake
wrapped around the pole overhead, giving
every appearance of selecting the proper
puint from which to drop Into your mouth.
You may feel something soft and clammy
