Immediately available for use," saya Grace
Tabor in Woman's Home Companion for

Woman's Work
Activities ef tbe Organise
Bodies Ale the Tilaea ef Ua
dertaalac ef Ooaeera to Wean.
The preliminary ballot Issued by the
Woman's club for the guidance of ita nom
inating committee has not brought as gen
eral response as was hoped for. Scores
of members did not return their ballots
at all, Wednesday being the last day when
they could be accepted by the committee.
Although the committee is not privileged
to even intimate its finding from what
ballots were returned, the members thern
se! '.es have been frank to announce their
preferences and this indicates that who
ever may be suggested for president will
be nominated on a very small majority,
i As a matter of fac. lens interest Is being
manifested in this office than ever before
in the history of the club and there has
been comparatively little politics In the
organization this spring.
The resignation this week of Mrs. 'Emma
F. Byers from the general secretaryship
of the Young Women's Christian associa
tion has occasioned regret among hun
dreds of Omaha women with whom she
haa come Into touch during her nine years
of work In the local field. Mrs. Byers
resigns to enter a largr field of associa
tion woi k as field secretary under the na
tional board for the recently created terri
tory Including Nebraska, Minnesota, the
Dakotas and Iowa. Her headquarters will
probably be at Minneapolis, which will take
her away from Omaha. The new office is
an Important one, as It is the medium be
tween the territory and the national board.
The territory Is large and the local prob
lems peculiar to each city, which necessi
tates the supervision of one more closely
In touch than the national board could
possibly be.
By those unfamiliar with the organiza
tion, the national department secretaries
and the national field secretaries have been
confused. The department secretaries have
to do with specific departments of work
and come upon call to any part of the
country. The field secretaries supervise
an entire district with all Its departments.
The territory over which Mrs. Byers Is to
have supervision will support a staff of
six, Including the field secretary, an office
secretary, two college secretaries, one uni
versity secretary and one city secretary.
College, university and city associatlona all
come under its supervision.
During her residence In Omaha Mrs.
Byers haa had several attractive offers
from other citiea and alao from the na
tional board. The most attractive of these
she declined only last year, the office of
supervising field secretary, which is at the
head of all the field work. This office
she declined because She felt obligated to
remain, with the Omaha association until'
Ita new building was completed and the
work In shape so that It might be taken
up by another without confusion.
She has had a substantial part In build
ing the association up from a membership
of less than. 1,000 'to over 8,000 and in
stiengthenlng and broadening all of Its j
departments in thu same proportion
So generously have the friends of the
Visiting Nurse association reaponded to Its
call for aid In establishing Its summer camp
for aick babies that the close of the week
promisee to find the necessary 11,000 prac
tically all aubscribed. The opinion has been
expressed by many who have-not under
stood the many demands upon the associa
tion nor the comparatively limited Income
It has, that aome of Its especially subscribed
funds should be divided with other chari
ties. Aside from the fact that such funds
could not honorably be diverted to other
work, $1,000 will scarcely cover the actual
demands Incidental to maintaining the pro
posed camp. The nurses are depending upon
other volunteer assistance to make up the
deficiency.
Because of Its policy to give aid with
absolute secrecy wherever possible, many
persons have applied to It for help who
should look to the county or city charities,
and the criticism that has arisen has been
almost entirely from disgruntled ones or
those who would liavo imposed upon the
generosity of the association.
INVITATIONS BY TELEPHONE
They Mar Be So Kitended Kve for
the More Formal Occa
sions o w .
Invitations which once upoii a time would
have been written formally may now be
given over a telephone, so much a part of
dally life has that valuable first instru
ment become, and women who' first ob
jected to it as a method of social Inter
course have now found they are spared
the suspense of waiting for a reply, as
they must when sending a note, and that
In the time thus gained they may Immed
iately supply the place of a person who
Is unable to accept.
But formality is not entirely thrown
away even when a telephone Is used, for
a women receiving such an Invitation, and
accepting, is supposed to follow her verbal
acceptance with a note of assurance. This
must read as formally as though she were
replying to a formal note, and in It is
she must repeat the day of the week, the
month and the hour for which she la In
vited. Under no consideration are such
detaila as time omitted when replying to a
telephone Invitation, for they are the point
of the note and their repetition is to pre
vent any misunderstanding In time as may
occur by word of mouth. So tbe woman
who write says:
My Dear Mis. Bemis:
I It was delightful to be included for your
'.uiii'iieun, aim 1 .nan ue nappy to be prrs
iiiit on Yuenday, March 26, at half-past 1
o'clock, to p.av bridge afterward. Cor
dially. MARY ANNE HOWARD.
March 20th.
In this way the hostess la assured that
each of her guests has understood and
that none will come a day early or one
too late.
Keels Children Buy.
When the children want something to
do set them to threading half a paper of
needlea all on the end of a white spool of
thread. tying a knot In the . end
to keep them on. Then when aome one aita
down to sew both time and eyesight will
be aaved, as the thread may be drawn out
the desired length, the other needlea pushed
back and secured with a knot.
snatleklar Starch.
Dissolve starch In lukewarm water and
add enough boiling water to make It clear,
stirring briskly while you pour In the boil
ing water. Add one teaspoonful of borax
and shave In about one teaspoonful of
paraffin. Then bring to a boil for five or
ten minutes.
b4sreae.
Never Iron a bedspread while still damp;

press smooth with the hands, wrap up In
newspaper, and put It up on the radiator
to dry.

IHAT shall I serve?' This is
w
usually the first question to
be settled when a hostess

more perplexing Is the question of re
freshments. Because of the simplicity
of serving them, Ice cream and cake,

Joyed a. popularity that has become
monotonous, and the women who en
tertains often Is always on the look
out for a substitute that will be
equally simple and attractive. Here

HOW TO CLEAN THE CORSET
Wash It at Home with Soap Jelly,
bnt Don't Try to Pry
Clean.
Some women. Instead of washing their
corsets when they get soiled, always send
them to the cleaners. But with a little care
corsets can be washed at home moat suc
cessfully. First of all, rip the front seam on both
ides and take out the steels. If thess are
left in, Iron mould stains will certainly ap
pear after washing. Then dissolve sonic
soap Jelly, made by shredding half a pound
of the best yellow soap In one quart of
boiling water, and simmering until dis
solved In warm water.
Two tablespoonfuls of Jelly to half a
gallon of water Is usually sufficient, but
very hard water may require more.
Put the corsets Into the suds and allow
them to soak for five minutes. Then spread
them on a board and brush thoroughly
with a well soaped nail brush, dipping them
occasionally Into the auds to remove the
loosened dirt.
When quite clean, rinse through two lots
of warm water and hang up to drip dry.
When almost dry. Iron on the nside with
a cool flatlron, and after thorough airing
replace the front steels and sew them
firmly In.
If this is carefully done, the corsets will
emerge from the wash tub as good aa new.
Raeappla Strips.
Candied pineapple strip are delicious and
are easily prepared. The fruit la first peeled,
then cut In strips two Inches lang, a
half an Inch wide and about a quarter of
an inch thick. Measure the fruit and add
half the quantity of granulated sugar, and
let it stand until the sugar is dissolved,
which may be nearly twenty-four hours.
Drain off the Juloe and boll It five minutes,
then add the fruit, and cook for three or
four minutes; dram the pineapple and
spread on a platter to dry. The process may
be hastened by putting the platter In the
sun, the warmlng-cloaet or even on the
top of a radiator. The fruit should be
turned once and then roll In fine granu
lated sugar. The process la much more
lengthy one than that required for the
fruit peel, but a few pieces put In each box
makes a delicious addition.

WOMEN AS POLITICIANS
Many Have Developed at the Na
tional Capital Dsrlag Last
Few Ycara.
Ths political woman has beer, much in
evidence since congress begame so unruly.
Those who lectured on current topics are
overwhelmed with demands about the
inner politics of tho Cannon upheaval. In
Washington almost all the Wives of men
prominent in public affairs study politics.
Mra. Eugene Hale has the reputation of
knowing more political history and know
ing It more correctly than any other wo
man of her generation. Mrs. Hale pre
sided over the home of her father, Zach
Chandler, In the daya of his power. Mrs.
Frank Brlggs, daughter of Senator Frye,
la another excellent ' politician. Mrs. La
Follette not only talks politics well, but
she can throw light on the most Intricate
question when it comes to writing. Mrs.
Cummins is another shrewd politician, and
she can make one of the best offhand
speeches. Mrs. Champ Clark - Is versed In
politics, and can talk on both sides of
a question. Mrs. Longworth recently has
made a profound study of the great na
tional game, and she gives political din
ners in which every subject save public
affairs tacitly Is avoided. Mrs. James
Bryce, whose mother was an American,
studies all that relates to national policies
In this country with seal and Intelligence.
She passed many hours In the galleries of
the house when the great debate was on.
Winter Vines.
Tie over the top of a tumbler, or other
gless dish, a piece of coarse, stiff net, fill
the tumbler with water and cover the liet
with peas, the common kind. Stand the
tumbler or dish In a dark but not cold
place, three days, then set It In the win
dow. In a few days you can see the roots
shooting down Into the water and will soon
be able to train the vines. One pretty Idea
Is to set the dish of vines in a wire basket.
Another Is to fasten a fine wire, suspended
1 In front of the window, around the top
part of the dish and weave many strands
of the wire to a point high above the dlnh.
Train the vines lo grow over this and you
will have a pretty ornament for the table.
The dihh must be kept full of water and
1 a few drops of ammonia and several pieces
of charcoal should be added each week.
Scratches.
Small scratches may be removed from
mahogany by rubbing with the meat of a
Braall nut.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
City Council in Called Session Tries
to Clean Slate of Business.
ONE MORE SESSION MONDAY
Council Decides to Do Nothing" on
Question of New Fire Hoose
Sites and Refer It Back to
Commtaslonera.
The South Omaha city council, after ad
journing without transacting any business
Thursday assembled Friday morning in a
called session and finished up most of
the pending business which is to be con
sidered by the present body before It dis
solves to give place to the coming dem
ocratic regime. The council ordered the
purchase of the P. J. Barrett property,
which is an addition of six acres to Man
dan park. The purchase price was W.O0O
and Jhls purchase had the recommendation
of the Board of Park Commissioners. The
question or the purchase was suspended
during the campaign when it might have
been used as a political lever.
The bids for the several fire hall sites
were referred back to the Board of Fire
and Police Commissioners for further rec
ommendation, which means that the pres
ent council will have nothing to do with
the purchase of any of the several sites
offered.
The council took a last glance at the
South Omaha public drinking luunlaln and
ordered Offerman Bros, to move the same
to Twenty-sixth and L, streets and there
to set It up according to the terms of a
previous contract. The company will re
ceive 135 for moving the fountain.
All bids on paving which were pending
and which were not opened according to
schedule were returned unopened to the
bidders and a readvertisement will be re
quired. The bids for an automobile for the city
engineer's department were referred to the
committee of the whole and will prob
ably be acted upon In the last session of
the council Monday night. Much of the
routine. Including the last payroll, was
disposed of before adjournment.

vaudeville was by Arthur I.empke and
Oretchen Simmons, and by Alfred Parks

of singing, dancing and dialogue. All the
artists were young children of ttie city.
Judge A. I,. Sutton, on beiinlf of the local
order delivered an address of welcome. He
dwelt largely on the objects of the meet
ing and on the spirit of the order. Nelbnn
C Pratt, of Omaha, responded eloquently
In a similar vein.
A. R. Talbot was then Introduced and !
made the address of the evening. He spoke !
along lines of fraternallHin which would ap
peal especially to the Modern Woodmen of j
America. He told first ' the rapid
grow th of the fraternity mentioning as a !
climax that in February over 1S.000 and In
March over S0.O0U members were added to
the order. He then tool: up the 'wide In
fluence of the order, and as an example
he mentioned several instances in which
the local order had Influenced legislation
in favor of the fraternal socle! lee and had
prevented skillfully laid schemes to enact
lama detrimental to the societies. He men
tioned a recent case In Pennsylvania
Mr. Talbot then dwell on the patriotic
features and the objeot of the order in pre
serving and strengthening the homes of the
members. He was many tlmea enthusiasti
cally applauded.
The local lodge presented Its secretary,
C. F. Dennis, with a handsome cut gleits
punch set. The convention was one of the
most successful of any which has been held
between the lodges of a single district.
C'enncllmen Afraid to Meet.
Three members of the old council failed
to appear In the council chamber last night
