Society to Spend Summer
at Home and Enjoy Clubs
rropects have never been brichter fin
Omaha's country clubs than thry are this
season; In fact, nfit since the year the Coun
try club wo opened has society mnnlfsted
such Interest or planned to en)oy ltd
privileges aa It la Oolng thla spring. And
there I good reason for tills. Scores of
people, are r-v.tMIng this ytar or have re
cently completed new homes and they will
remain In town to superintend construction
or enjoy the reward of recent vexations.
Thla la one reason that so many h:ve
taken their vacations early this season, al
though many Omahans. especially thos
who have aummer places near by. prefer
doing thetr traveling In the winter or dur
ing Ient and remaining at home during
the heated term.
Kiveral members of the debutante and
yo'indT arts who usually go to th lakes
will be at home this season and the clubs
will be tho more attractive for the presence
of three young people, who contribute n
much to soclctv.

Soiled Gloves Injure
f IRLS who complain that their
I I hands always look dirty
I 1 should Insnect the inside of
their gloves, for If the latter
are pulled on when the
hands are not entirely clean and the
kid becomes soiled, every tlmo the
gloves are worn afterward they rub
dirt on the skin. So care should be
taken to prevent this, or if such con
dition exists the gloves must either be
cleansed professionally or not worn
again.
In cold weather eome preparation to
rub on the skin each time the hands
are washed should be kept on the
dressing table, for a low temperature
has the effect of drying the skin, and
if there is the least hardness In the
water the roughness Is Intensified Im
measurably. Of using a mixture of glycerine and
rose water, or glycerine and even
plain water, I am a strong advocate.
The proportion for either Is one-third
glycerine to two-thlrda water, plain or
perfumed, ten drops of carbolic acid
being added to ahalf pint of the mix
ture. This acid Is healing. The prep
ration Is wiped over the hands after
they have been washed and dried, and
any excess of the lotion Is wirxid off.
It will refine the skin If used regularly.
Any kind of cold cream Indeed,
grease of any sort will have a bene
ficial effect, the object being to sup
ply the oils that cold and water ex
tract. Wearing gloves at night Is ona
of the best means of softening and
whitening the hands, care being taken
that the gloves are lnrge enough not
to interfere with circulation, and holes
punched through the palms will admit
air and make the hands more com
fortable. The gloves should be white
or gTay, as a dark color may be In
jurious. There Is no simpler and at the same
time better method for healing and
whitening chapped hands than the ap
plication of sweet almond oil and pow
dered magnesia or French chalk be
fore retiring.
After washing and wiping tho fin
gers thoroughly they should be soaked
In warm almond oil for five minutes.
The larger quantity of the oil Is
gently patted off, leaving an apprecia
ble amount. The hands are then
dipped Into the white powder and later
large gloves are drawn on.
This method repeated nightly for a
week will cure obstinate cases of
chapping. Glycerine and rose water
should be used throughout the day
after washing the hands when they
chap easily.

CHANTECLER GOWN IS SHOWN
Famous C'oatame Exhibited in Shop
Window Will fluirarest
Many Fada.
On a mlnlaturo stage representing a ball
room In one of the fashionable New York
shops, the famous chantecler gown from
Paris is being exhibited, and all day a
living model walkea up and down the Im
provised platform In the glowing chan
tecler costume and with the stunning chan
tecler hat tilted becoglngly on her head.
The dress, which has now become fa
mous Is the color of the cock's comb a
light scarlet according to some authorities,
and a bright cherry, according to others.
It Is made of satin, with a scant plain
skirt having a short train. There is an
oversklrt three-quarter length on one side
and one-half length on the other, made
from black net finished with wide black
lace. The girdle of the gown Is of satin,
nine Inches wide, smooth and embroidered
aorosB the front with three black cocks.
The yoke of the dress, which is low neck,
is of black tucked net over white lace.
The sleeves are of the cherry satin half
way to the bows and of white lace from
the elbowa to the bend of the arms.
The hat which Is worn with this costume
Is red chip and Is bordered with an Inch
of black straw. It Is trimmed with a great
black rooster possessing a flaming red
comb. His wings are outspread and his
tail flaunts aggressively backward aa he
resta on the edge of the crown.
Large and ornate are the new desk sets
for women and men. For the latter they
are elaboraely executed and of bright ma
terials that a few years ago would have
been considered unsuitable.
A combination of metals, or metal and
glass, Is the characteristic of these new
designs. One beautiful desk equipment for
a library seen recently was of green
shaded glass overset with a filigree of
brass so qne It looks like gold. Most of
the work Is done by hand, and so the cost
Is considerable.
Rarely does one see a small set for what
was known a few years ago as a "lady's"
dei-k. "Writing" and kidney shaped tables
having taken the place to a large extent
of the sloping top desks formerly affected,
greater space Is given for display, and cer
tainly It is utilized more. Inkwells are
"well" Indeed, the smallest holding at least
a gill of liquid. In many sets there are
two pots, they being on a tray of notice
ably large dimensions, which serves also
to hold pens. As a rule there seems to
be a preference for square rather than
round effects, the corners of all the articles
shown following the same angles.
A lacquered brass, entirely plain, but ex
tremely large, Is shown among the newest
sets. Brass. Indeed, la the favorite metal,
although for men's business desks there
are some striking effects in copper, hand
wrought.
A serviceable and artistic design Is plain,
highly polished brasa with Inlay of copper,
the two metals combining admirably. All
metal sets have the advantage of not stain
ing with Ink which falls, and are easily
cleaned.
Leather throughout a set has almost en
tirely disappeared. Except In portfolios
and cornets done for pads; silver, too. Is
passe, perhaps because the size of the
articles makes the price almost prohibi
tive. If an entire set is purchased the cost
amounts to an extraordinary sum, for the
artlclea are many. They Include an Ink
well, desk blotter and pen tray, a hand
blotter, stamp box, clip or case for letters,
a paper knife, letter opener, pen and pencil,
as well aa a case for holding paper and en
velopes. Not Infrequently clocks are
mounted to match. The first three articles,
however, may be called a set, and given as
a present.

"The hog Is a sympathetic animal. It Is
susceptible to kindly treatment and grows
fatter In pleasant surroundings."
This statement was made at Joliet, 111.,
by Howard Francis, a New Lennox town
ship breeder of swine, at a farmers' ban
quet, at Joliet, March 1, said to be the first
affair of the kind ever held In the United
States. Mr. Franela responded to the toast,
"The Hog."
"It has generally been supposed," he con
tinued, "that almost any old place was
good enough for a hog, but in years of ex
perience I have found that good, clean
quarters are as much appreciated by the
hog as by any other animal and that It
thrlvta under kindly treatment. This helps
In a material way, because the animal
grows fatter as a result.
"Hogs, like people, are of dlffernt dis
position. Qentle tdeatment, . especially
when they are young, produces almost
Incredible benefits. It is a fact, too, that
when they are well taken care of they will
spend most of their time sleeping, which
