THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1916, Personal Gossip : Society Notes : Woman's Work : Household Topics 8 si October 26, 1916 ' Plan for greatly extended work were made by the members of the Franco-Belgian Relief society at their meeting yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. John A. McShane. The work of the organization for the year will be the making of surgical dress inn for the war hosoitals in Eurooe. following patterns of surgical dress ing furnished by the national surgical dressing committee, whose office is at 299 Fifth avenue, New York. After these articles are made they are for warded to the central committee for distribution in Europe. The bandages are made by the women, then sent to one of the local hospitals for ster ilization, next packed by one of the merchants of the city, and finally sent to the central office. Following the suggestion of a letter which was received from the Franco Belgian Relief society in Kansas City, the Omaha organization decided to enlarge its work so that every morn ing and afternoon of the1 week wilt be spent by some women of the city in working for the relief of the suf ferers. , - The officers of the society were ap pointed for the year: Mrs. John A. McShane, president; Dan Wheeler and Miss Carrie Millard, vice presi dents; Miss Helen Scobie, treasurer, and Miss Gertrude Young, secretary. The committees appointed to care for the enlarged work were: -Housing, Mesdames John A, McShane, Ezra Millard and Harold Gifford; packing and expediting, Mrs. O. C. Redick snd Miss Jessie Millard. The committees on publicity and finance will be ap pointed at the next meeting. The housing committee has already begun to look for a room in a central location down-town, where the mem bers and anyone who wishes to as sist may come to work on the band ages. By applying to the president, Mrs. McShane, anyone interested may become a member of a circle which will do this work, the idea being to organize twelve circles, one of which will work each morning or each aft ernoon for five months. The Lincoln organization, it is understood, is adopting some such plan, and is ma terially aiding the work, Art Exhibit and Tea.

' How Disappointed They Would Be By FORTUNE FREE.. I remember once looking through an album of photographs in the drawing room of a famous singer. There was one photograph among them which particularly struck me. It was so different from the rest. It was the likeness of an old lady very plainly dressed not at all like a queen or an 'empress or anybody of that kind. So strangely different from the rest, s "That, Fortune," said the singer in reply to my question who she was, "is the woman to whom I owe every thingeverything. Would yoii believe it? When 1 was a girl I had the most atrocious temper in the world the most frightfully atrocious! And that woman was my nurse as a child and my maid later. , How she cried that day when my singing master I was in a little temper that day said he washed nis hands of me, flew down the stairs four at a time and I tore up and scattered the music on his head from the window as he rushed down the street. She cried. She would not stop. To her I owe every thing" and how. "'Stop I' I shouted. 'Why are you crying." And she would not stop. 'Stop, Imbecile,' 1 shouted, 'or I will bite youl Why are you crying?' " 'I am crying," she replied, 'be cause I love you and you disappoint me so." "I had never thought of that. She loved me, and I disappointed her? "'You will fly after that poor terri fieman.' I said, 'and bring him back. Tell him that I am a lamb. Fly) Why do you gape at me like that.' Do l not tell you I am a lamb? Will you fly, or must I throw you out of the window?' "From that day I have been a lamb except now and then. Would I disappoint her? No, no I One that loved me like that? For thirty years she has been wherever I have sung and after it is over I have asked her: "'Did I disappoint you? Great expectations of us are the most energizing things in the world. "The young person who comes from a home in which much is ex pected of him or her is launched on the road to fulfilling it" said taoociy. Heroic conduct comes from the home where the children have been expected to be heroic." "I wonder how many children have become successes In the world through realizing: that much was ex pected of them and determining not to fail the hopes set upon them?" de clared Justice Hawkins. "Blessed are big hopes of sons and daughters." Hawkins knew a young fellow who was studying to become a lawyer, and whose devotion to work was Hie won der of all his acquaintances. He had not always been like that. He had belonged to a "rather jolly dog set," and prided himself on being "a real good fellow.'' One morning when Hawkins called on him on business he was peculiarly grave and white. "You have not written to me for three weeks now, but I know how hard you are working, and. though how much I would like to hear from you, I know how difficult it must be 9 n d 11 t Best for Table, Not Touched by Hand Hint By Racorueuse for you to find the time. So don't worry about me. How proud I shall be of you, my boy, some day." It was those words in a letter lie had received that morning that had upset him. He read them to Haw kins. : . "Proud of me!" he gasped. "Proud of me I She shall be proud of me, Hawkins," he cried. "She, shall be proud of me." Hawkins remembered those words In the letter years later when he went to see his friend take his seat for the first time as a judge upon the bench. Hawkins looked around. Yes, there she was. The old lady who had writ ten that letter was in the court. How proud she looked. , The not expecting much is apt to exercise a dampening effect in num berless directions. Fred Leslie, the famous actor, knew a woman who slid gently into becom ing a perfectly hopeless cook through her husband's wrong management of her. They had been married only a short time, when a sudden emergency required her to turn to and cook the dinner herself. "You going to cook the dinnerl" John exclaimed, as he was leaving that morning. "Gracious 1 Well, I shan't expect much." That was just the mistake. The dinner but the less said about it the better: It was "just as he expected' Exactly! He expected nothing, and he got it or rather, nothing that was eatable. She never improved. Didn't he- expect nothing? Quick Way to End Coughs, Colds and Croup .

SERVISS. j A Polar mother bear, as white as the snows of her native land, was floating, on a huge iceberg, down the broad channel that separates North America from Greenland. Beside her was her cub. Bears of. this species are often car ried long distances on floating ic:. and they are powerful swimmers, able to traverse many miles of sea, even when it is free from ice. This bear with her cub had evident ly been .many days on the berg that was now carrying them. , At last the heat of the ever-rising sun became so intense that cataract began to pour down the sides of the immense berg, deluging the bear ar.d her cub and compelling her to seek a place of shelter under a pro jecting cliff on the northerly side of the berg, whose upper portions rose into sharp peaks. They were almost without food, having only the scanty remains of the last walrus that the mother had captured. "See yonder, mother," said the cu'j "There is a strange thing on the sea. It cannot be a seal or a walrus." The mother bear looked in the di rection indicated and saw, crossing the brilliant band that the moon beams laid upon the water, a ship with sails set, and black as ebony against the gleaming background. "I have heard of things like that," she said, "but I have never before seen one. , It is a huge creature of the sea, larger than many whales togeth er, and it carries little two-legged an imals which have fire-shooting eye that kill all that, they look upon. Now I remember to have heard that it is from this hot world into which we are floating that they come. If only I could see a, shore in any direction I would try to help you to swim to it. Rut perhaps they will not come near us." That night ,the two bears watched the ship, and then, as it seemed to get no nearer, they slept. But in the morning, when they awoke, the shipS now white as a giant gull resting or! the water, was close at hand, and they could see the little animals that it carried pointing them outon their icy perch and making a great ado about them. . "They mean to kill us," said the mother bear, "and perhaps that will be no worse than straving, but (show ing her strong teeth) perhaps I can 1 ' n ' This ENTIRELY NEW Corset Service Deserves Close Investigation by EVERY-WOMANSLIM or STOUT Nemo Back-Resting Corsets give lines of ultra-fashion.

The berg had drifted so far south that it was how in water so warm that the submerged ice dis solved rapidly, and just at the mo ment when fire was opened from the ship the berg lost its balance and turned over. The vast mass weighed millions of tons, ajid its revolution churned the sea into a maelstrom. The ship, was almost wrecked by the waves that rushed upon it, and the bears went down. But the moth er managed to cling to her child, and her experience enabled her to bring both to the surface amid the tossing fragments of ice.vln a moment they were seen from tlie ship, which had escaped serious injury, and a bullet in the brain ended the mother's life. But a boat put off and took the cub aboard. Years afterward a huge white bear, nine feet Jong, and weighing -1,500 pounds, was the wonder-piece of a great zoological garden. The keep er told how she had been taken at sea when a cub, and had been brought up in her cage and her artificial der made to look as much as possible like a pile of Arctic ice blocks. The keeper always wound up his story by saying: "Her mother was killed. They were on an iceberg; it rolled over; they came up, and I myself shot the mother, for she was too big and fierce to take aboard, and then we caught the .cub." Once when he was telling this a little girl, with eyes like bits of sky, turned to her mother and said: "That bear knows what he is say ing." Did you not see her look? 01i if I- could only speak their language!' t)o You Know That There is neither thunder nor light-: ping in the Arctic Circle.

' To soften a hard sponge, cover with cold water, add a tablespoonful of borax and bring slowly to a boil in a clean saucepan. Then remove the sponge, rube some dry borax into it and rinse in cold water for several minutes. When ironing blouses or frocks with Jarge buttons sewn on, try us ing several thicknesses of blanket or towels to iron them on. Turn the garment button-side down and press on the wrong side. The buttons sink into the soft paddtng, leaving a smooth surface for the iron to run over. Gold and silver lace and trimming soon get tarnished. Try cleaning this way: Take a stale loaf and run the insjde to make crumbs, and mix with a half pound of powdered blue. Lay this plentifully on the lace and rub gently until it becomes bright. Then take a piece of clean flannel and dust the crumbs well off. Final ly rub the lace gently with a piece of velvet and it will look as bright as when new. . , I - Ark far anH (Uf .a Signers THE HIGHEST QUALITY EGG NOODLES 36 Big Redpt Book ftet SKINNER MFG. CO..
