Bridge Whist Party Gives
Large Returns for Creche
The Unrest bridge party ever held In
- Omaha was the entertainment given at the
Country club Thursday afternoon In benefit
of the Creche. One hundred and ninety
two players were seated at the game, more
' than attended the recent national women's
w;lst tournament in Chicago. Several of
the players wha attended the Chicago meet
commented upon the comparative alze.
' In dollars, and this in a benefit Is a very
t Important particular, the affair was the
i most successful party which has been given
I for the Creche, as the receipts will be
i over $400. The returns from the party last
year were $340.
Players were divided Into four sections.
Those who received prises In each were:
Mrs. A. V. Klnsler and Mrs. J. C. Klnsler,
whose score was 1,108. Each was told to
aelett the prise she wished from tho hand
some assortment. Mrs. Robert Ollmore and
Mrs. Frank Woodward won the second
prizes In this section. The high scores In
another section were made by Mrs. William
Hill Clarke and Mrs. Daniel liaum, Jr.,
I and seoond by Mrs. R. E. Harris and Miss
Beulah Sharp; another section, Mrs. Sulli
van and Mrs. J. W. Battin, Mrs. Ar.nella
..Ollmore and Miss Agnes Weller, and in
! another section the jrlr.es were awarded
,to Mrs. W. I. Klcrstead and Mrs. Root and
to Mrs. II. M. McClannahan and Mrs. Corn
stock. Society' i attention Is focused upon the
performances of "The Toy Shop," the first
j of which Is to be given at the Brandols
I theater this evening. Those immediately
' in charge directors of the Child Saving In
I t,tHute have for some time been absorbed
'. In the final arrangements. ' Another list
v of young society matrons have been busily
employed as chaperons, and this evening
will know the anxieties of the wardrobe
mistress, for each group la responsible for
the costumes of Its particular group of
performers.
Their duties are complicated by the an
nouncement that the "curtain will rise
sharply at 8:15. so that the little tots in
the play may not be kept out too late."
This means, of course, that the perform
ers, as well as the audience, must be quite
ready at thlB hour.
The sale of seats for this performance
this evening, as. Indeed, for all of them,
has been exceedingly large. The box
holders for this evening are Mr. and Mrs.
George A. Joslyn, who 'will have as their
iruests Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Farnsworth of

Woman's Work
Activities st the Organised
Bodies Along the Tilaes of Un
aertaklnr of Coaesrm to Wonea,
The Social Settlement workers of this
country are contemplating forming a na
tional organization. The first step toward
this waa taken at the recent conference
held In St. Louis before and In connection
with the National Conference of Charities
and Corrections. Miss Clara Schaefer, resi
dent head of the Omaha Social Settlement,
returned Thursday from attending these
meetings and Is enthusiastic In speaking
of each.
Of the charities conference Miss Schaefer
said: "It was the best conference I ever
attended and so many others present
seemed to feel the same way about it.
The questions discussed showed both In
themselves and In the manner In which
they were approached the growth of the
work and workers."
A committee of nine was named by the
social settlement workers to consider the
question of a national organization and
also to discuss problems common to the
work in all cities.
One of these problems, which was thor
oughly discussed at the conference, Is
"How Far Settlement People Could Help
In Enforcing Law?" The question Is, since
the settlement is to stand as the helpful
neighbor, how It should co-operate with
the law-enforcing .officers. Miss Jane
Addams and Miss Mary McDowell of Chi
cago led In this discussion.
Mrs. Harrletta Hiller of the Detention
school, who also attended the conference.
Is expected home Friday. Miss Ida V.
Jonts, secretary of the Associated Charities,
will return next week.
"Omaha Woman's club ranks high In the
list of the clubs of the country because of
the thorough way In which its work Is
done,", was the gratifying statement which
the former leader of the department of
oratory, Miss JeBSle Brown Crommette,
made to her former associates at the In
formal reunion held In the home of Miss
Mary Wallace Wednesday. Miss Crom
mette, who Is now with the Otis Skinner
company, since leaving Omaha has been
at the head of a department In the Amer
ican Academy of Dramatic Art, New York,
and through this position has had oppor
tunity to see the work of many of the New
York clubs, and she does not except these
In giving the . Omaha organization high
place. During her leadership Tennyson's
"Princess" and numerous other plays were
given by the oratory department of the
Omaha club, and at the reunion Wednes
day some discussion of these former times
was enjoyed.
Mrs. N. H. Nelson, recording secretary
of the Omaha Woman's club, who is the
first, of the Omaha delegates to return
from the biennial of the General Federa
tion, gives "Conservation" as the most
striking note of the convention. This Is
not the conservation politically discussed,
but the conservation of the child. Though
the question of woman's suffrage ' had
place on the program for the first time, it
waa not the topic in which most interest
was taken.
Mrs. Nelson did not agree that the club
women, as represented at their convention,
were becoming too aristocratic, but, on the
contrary, felt that they were increasing In
their appreciation of the meaning of dem
ocracy and also In their efficiency. She
declared that the Cincinnati meeting was
the most businesslike one she had ever at
tended; It was more so than the preceding
one at Boston; possibly the fact that It
was a smaller meeting contributed to this
effect.
At Boston there were a great many more
visitors and also a larger number of dele
gates present, as was to be expected when
one remembers the historic Interest of
Boston and Its natural attraction to
visitors. There were about 1,000 delegates
at Cincinnati and the meetings were both
exceedingly well conducted and of great
interest. It was a convention of absorbing
Interest to all students of the clvlo and
Industrial problems, and especially those
which concern the child.
Mrs. J. P. Johnston of Omaha and Mrs.
H. M. Bushnell of Lincoln also have re
turned from the convention.
Ihe World's Health Organization, the so
ciety waging war against the kissing
habit, Is bidding for members among the
Omaha people, that Is, the papers explain
ing the organization's campaign and In
cluding the pledge have been quite gener
ously distributed. This Is the organisation
which has its club motto. "Kiss not," era
blaroned upon Its club button. Mrs I.
Rechtln of Cincinnati Is given as the presi
dent of this organization, which has an
ambition to be "the largest and healthiest
club in the world."
Mme. Marie Kraus-Bolte, who has just
celebrated In New York her fiftieth anni
versary In kindergarten work, said re
cently: "I was almost afraid to come to
America. I waa afraid of the Indians,
whom I was sure I would meet In America.
I have always been glad that I overcame
this groundless fear, I shall keep right
straight on with my kindergarten work,
and some people tell me I am good for
fifty years longer."
Mrs. Taft, who has always been In
terested in dumb animals, has applied for
membership In the Washington Humane
society. Mrs. Taft formerly was a valued
member of the Cincinnati Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Mrs. Mary D Bradford has been elected
superintendent of the. 'City .schools of
Kenosha, Wis. At present Mrs. Bradford
la In charge of the Teeahers' Training col
lege of the State Normal school at White

Preparing Salads
HE hostess should be pro
ficient in the set of salad
making, for there Is no ques
tion that It adds to the serv
ice and to the pleasure of the
to have the dressing mixed
at the table and mixed up
guests
freshly
with the salad plants In a large bowl
and served from It with wooden spoon
or fork. No other salad can equal this
In taste.
If this Is to be done, the waitress or
butler should know and never neglect
the first points In preparing the plants
themselves for the dressing.
As lettuce Is the main support of
most salads. It Is well to take It up
first. Its root and all coarse leaves
must be cut off. Each leaf must be
washed by itself by dipping It up and
down In cold water. The same water
should not be used for more than a
few leaves. If the latter are wilted
they can be revived by letting them
He In the .water for a while.
They should be dropped Into a wire
basket as soon as rinsed and shaken
until the water Is well off. They are
then put in a cold place until ready
to serve. Before serving each leaf
should be softly wiped with the fresh
. est cloth. The point with lettuce, as
with all other . plants, is keeping it
chilled. A salad that is otherwise is
Impossible.
Every one knows that the root
should not be cut from .celery, al
though In other days In lesser house
holds celery was served minus the
roots, plus the green tops, and stand
ing upright in glass vases. It gives
one a shiver- to think of It now in
comparison with the snow white, ice
cold stalks, tho tops cut off and the
luscious roots left on. all bedded in
cracked ice oa a long platter.
This fashion of leaving roots on
was called "clubhouse fashion," and
the name still clings to it. To prepare
celery In this palatable way, the coarse
outer stalks are taken off and any end
that is fibrous should be- cut down
thin to the hard part. Remember this

Crasade Against Aigrettes.
'A London clergyman has Instituted a
bold and successful crusade against women
who wear the aigrette, the dainty piume of
feathers that Is taken from the white
heron during the nesting season, and those
who attend the services of Rev. D. H. R.
Gamble, In his church of Holy Trinity, In
Sloane square, need .more than ordinary
courage to continue to appear with their
hats decorated in this way. Not content
with preaching sermons directed against
the cruelty Involved In the aigrette traffic.
Dr. Gamble has affixed a series of photo
graphs from life at the entrance of his
church, so that all who pass In can see the
pitiful history of the bird from which the
aigrette is taken. The first picture shows
the plume as It usually appears In feminine
headgear, and bears the caption, "The
White Badge of Cruelty." Other pictures
show how the mother bird Is shot by the
hunters soon after Its young are hatched,
and how the nestlings die In starvation in
their helplessness.

One quart of flour, two tablespoonfuls of

three teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one

Mix the baking powder with the flour
and stir in the salt. Rub the lard and

point clearly, for soft celery Is not
agreeable to any person. The long,
thick root, which Is a brownish color,
should be neatly pared and sharpened
to a blunt point.
When celery comes In large bunches
it should be halved, and sometimes
quartered. Instead of dipping the cel

' lettuce. It Is held under the .water tap,
then dipped In a bowl of Ice water
and wiped off. It Is put In a cold
place until ready to go to the table,
when it Is then bedded in finely
cracked Ice and laid lengthwise In a
long crystal dish.
Experts In salad making advise that
celery should be kept tightly wrapped
in brown paper until a short time be
fore serving, and that It should not be
touched with water too early, or It
will become rusty.
What is known as tossing up a salad
Is the epicurean way of doing it, but
there are certain salads that cannot
be treated In this fashion. Lettuce
and tomatoes make the salad that can
be prepared at the table. Potatoes or
any kind of vegetables must be al
lowed to soak.
Celery must be carefully handled,
for It so lacks in absorbent qualities
that it requires coaxing. Yet, if It
stands In the dressing a moment
longer than the required time It wilts
and the salad becomes a failure.
The French dressing, modified and
elaborated by experience and taste, is
the one that Is used at the table.
Each host or hostess knows a pecu
liar and gratifying way to toss up a
salad, but the ordinary person relies
solely on the ingredients and propor
tions laid down by cooks. This calls
for one-half teaspoonful of salt, ono
quarter teaspoonful of pepper, two
tablespoonfuls vinegar, four table
spoonfuls of olive oil. Yet an aroma
of garlic, a tiny touch of onions, a few
bay leaves, and other palatable in
gredients are often tossed up along
with this commonplace dressing.
CITY PAYS FOR BASE BALL
New Jersey Town Coaches the Na
tional Game with Good
Results.
In the coming summer the cltv of Tren
ton will have upward of 2,500 boys playing
uniformed base ball under municipal con
trol. They will be divided Into leagues,
with regular schedules to play out and pen-
rar.ts to win.
This Is the most ambitious scheme of Us
kind In the United States and perhaps in
the world. For two seasons now Trenton
las had more than 2,000 beys playing base
ball under municipal control. The games
are under the direction of two directors of
base ball appointed by the Trenton Play
grounds commission and paid $1,000 a year
each by the city. The directors are Albert
Eratton, at one time one of the best known
base ball and basket ball players in New
Jersey, and William Haney,
This plan to take care of the boys of the
city during the summer months was de
vised three years ago by F. C. Benner, then
the physical director of the local Young
Men's Christian association, and Marvin A,
Riley. Tho idea received the hearty ap
proval of Mayor Madden and money was
secured from the city to carry on the work.
A citizens' association to assist the Play
grounds commission was formed with Prof
John E. Gill at the head.
On the opening day of the league sea
son 2,000 boys paraded through the city be
hind bands paid for by the city. That first
season was watched by persons Interested
in tne playground Idea throughout the coun
try and since that time hundreds of ques
tions have been received as to the success
of the plan. Johnstown, Pa., several other
Pennsylvania towns and a number of west
ern cities have adopted the Idea.
Last year there were 180 teams In the var
ious Trenton leagues. The leagues are di
vided Into four classes, primary, midgets,
intermediates and juniors, and each section
of the city has it own leagues. Every day
during the summer months there are up
ward of seventy-five games of ball for
the championships.
The age of the players ranges from 10 to
16. During the first year the age ran to
18, but It was thought best to abolish tho
league of the big boys because of the diffi
culty in distinguishing the ages of some of
the players. Some of the teams hsd players
over 22 and 23 posing as of 18 years.
Umpires are appointed for the league
games by the supervisors, and all disputes
are settled by the supervisors.
The season this year will start Saturday,
June 25, the first Saturday after the clos
ing of the city's schools. The usual cere
monies will mark the opening of the season,
and the money has already been appro
priated to buy news suits for the players.
Several hundred lots throughout the city
will be used dally and some person ap
pointed by the supervisors will visit these
lots and make up games between boys
who are not on the league teams or who
are too small to make the teams.
The results of this Idea were seen the
first year of Its adoption. The police
court records showed a decrease In the
number of boys picked up by the police
officers for petty offenses. The boys had
lots of good, wholesome fun and the city
