1 10 THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1913. rP"hre- to o O 1 o vBee-HiVe BY MELLIFIOIA, Friday, August 15, 1913. nID you orcr hear folks oxclnlm how thoy wished thoso horrid nows papers would nover say anything about thorn? I havo, lots of 1 J times, and then I have heard the very samo ones complain because by neglect or oversight, their names wero loft out or their enter tainments unnoticed. Does the society column exist for the chronicling of social affairs, or nro social doings pulled off to be chronicled? Thoro is more In that ques tion than appears at first glanco, and It is not peculiar to society in any particular city. In a story on Washington lifo which Sam Dlytho is run nlng n the Saturday Evening Post, ho Illumines It as It applies to tho na tional capital through the mouth of tho wise and experienced old dame who gives free this ndvico to his hero's wlfo: "It there is to be no mention of a function in tho newspapers, a tunc tlon might as well not be given. What advantngo is it to a hostess to work and worry and plan and schemo and intrigue to get distinguished peoplo to come to her dinners or to attend her partlos,"iiiless the world knows she is able to snare thoso distinguished personages? How can she bo repaid for all the expome and trouble and tho jealousy and tho criticism and the social ambitions that run counter to hers, except by having tho world know, through the kindly ministrations of the society editors, that this hostess has attained sufficient position to drag these honored guests to her house?. If tho newspapers Wero to abolish tho society columns tho number; of social affairs in this town would dwindle to nothing. And that moanB oyery kind of social affair, from tho biggest down to tho most modest, except, of course, family dinner parties whore roal friends are asked in." Overpeck-lfrazter Wedding. .

For this hour one sale only has been timed, so as not to divide your interest and that all may get ono garment at least Come Over Into Macedonia and Help Us! Wo feel HK-& sending out a cry to Ministerial Unions, Labor Unions and Women's Clubs to show their interest in their fellows. Most organizations have no meetings, in the summer. Vacation time for tho members and a good thing, too, for tlioso who. Bced a vacation. Did you ever think of the men and women who are cooped up from 8 A. M. to 6 P. M. week days and till 9 and 10 P. M. Saturdays, too dead tired some of them to got out and enjoy the green fields and the fresh air on Sundays? Some never get a vacation. .We have heard of cases where, employes were so worn out that they had to take a rest at loss of wage which they could illy afford and In some cases hey lost their jobs, we understand, as a result. Perhaps some of our settle ment workers know of such cases. The last legislature made it a punishable offense to employ women more than 9 hours in any one day and this made it uncomfortable and costly for some of us who employ female help. As an experiment and possibly to admit of adjusting matters to the new condition, many stores close during August at 6. P. M. Saturdays. Wto very much fear that after August 31st wo will see the stores open again till 9 P. M. Perhaps the working men who have an 8-hour day th:mselves. and many ot whom quit at 1 P. M. on SaturJays may pass resolutions and request us to keep o leti, for their accommodation. Personally we an pessl . mlstlc we don't think tho great mass of our peoplo care two whoops what happens to the other f jIIow as long as their own ox is not gored. LKT'S 8KB One thing is sure, if tho people do . mand it. If the people lend their Influence; d tho people abstain from buying after O p. ni., closing will be a permanent institution. We will agreo to con tinue with Thompson, Uelden & Co., and one big store, or wo will agree If a fair number of the ono-I no stores agreo without any of the big stores. Let 8 ce, where are we at? Let the smaller merchant, who doe3 most ot his work himself, keep open if ho finds It profitable. Live and let live. And now a word on the apparent apathy of the clerks themselves. Many clerks are paid a merely nominal salary in some stores; in addition they get a commission on sales. Until that is change! they will favor keaplng open In the hope that they may add to their salary by .additional sales. Don't blaaio them If they don't boiler voc:terously for ea.ly ckslug. (You could change that also. If you would.) Only two more Saturdays after this one in this month. Do you care? What are you going to do about it? Will you come over into Macedonia and help us?
