"Oh, I've been at ," the other would reply and then they'd hive a point of contact Such a thor ough discussion of this national work as ensued it would be hard to dupli cate. "How many members did you get today," is a favorite question. Bail' dace rolline and the making of sur gical dressing have lost some of their interest in tne new iiooq or neu Cross work. The interesting mailer that is taught in first aid classes fur pishes a splendid theme of conver aation and it is said that numerous foolish questions arc features of these lessons.

Both machines were badly damaged. n v Fun From Old Magazines It is surprising how much amuse ment can he had with the aid of a pair of scissors from the discarded magazine. Take the advertising game. Even the men folk enter with zest into a game so alive and up-to-date. Cut from an old magzine various well known pictorial advertisements that bear no tell-tale names directly upon the pictures. Mount these cut-outs upon stiff paper or card. Upon the back of each mark the name of the firm by which it is issued or the product which it boosts. The object then is to see who can guess the firms and products for which the ad vertisements stand. If the game is played at a party give a prize to the person naming the greatest number As manv advertisements as you wish to use are permitted in the game, but to keep it always interesting and timely add the newest as they come out and eliminate the back numbers from the collection. "Jig-saw" puzzles (those in which irregular pieces arc fitted together to form a complete picture) made from cut-up magazine covers are amusing to young and old, especially to con valescents who need unexciting occu pation during long idle hours. To make the puzzle sufficiently interest ing to adults clip the picture intb smaller pieces to make the fitting to gether more difficult. The smaller lhe child, however, the larger the puzzle pieces should be. Bead stringing has for generations been a favorite pastime for children. Add to it the art of bead-making and the play becomes doubly fascinating. Pretty, colorful beads can be made by cutting brightly colored magazine covers or illustrations into strips about five inches long and as wide as the length that, the maker wishes the beads to be when finished. The bead is made by rolling the strip very tightly about a hatpin, beginning at one end. Fasten the final end with a bit of paste to keep the little cylin der from unwinding. When the hat pin is withdrawn there will remain the "threading hole" and the bead is complete. Slightly point the paper so that no uneven edges will extend beyond the ends of the beads. Any wide-awake little girl can 'find between the covers of the average, magazine for women entire furnish ings for a doll's house. Moreover, if she be not sufficiently fortunate as to have a doll's house, the pages of tire magazine torn out and pinned to gether will form at least the four walls and roof; and if the child be in ventive, the paper-walled house can even be divided into room and floors by means of paper partitions. The floors can be rugged with the costliest of Orientals, clipped from nig ads, and the walls adorned with pictures that have been clipped framed and ready for hanging from art-shoo ads. Even the doll-house kitchen and bathroom need suffer no dearth of the very latest equipment and im provements, for there arc many ads' snowing kitchen cabinets, tireless cookers, patent dislwashcrs, plumb ers' supplies, etc. Similarly, paper furniture from the most exclusive stores and of the most exquisite design, pictured in. the shops' own ans, can lie clipped and will help to make the little paper rooms real works of art, which besides delight ing the child will teach her the first principles of good taste and inter ior decorating and the distinguishing characteristics of period furniture. From the macazines of outdoor life hoys can clip paper farms. One bright lad interested in pedigreed stock and having the clipping habit has made a stock farm of thoroughbied cattle all trom magazine cut-outs. His brother is interested in thoroughbred dogs, and he, in his turn, clins everv con ceivable variety from the kennel ads and magazine articles pertaining to canines. Every once in a while he holds a paper dog show for lhe chil dren of the neighborhood. His show has given himself and his friends an excellent idea of breeds in general, information about his and their own dogs in particular and how to care for them properly on all of which the young showman h well informed. While the price of admission to one of 4iis shows is usually fifteen pins, the admission has been known to soar to a penny when the manager's own flesh and blood canine needed a new collar, a tonic or some other expen sive necessity.

BIG RESPONSE BY WOMANKIND Here at Least It One Decisive Effort Towards the Re duction of Excessive Living Costs. Store Committee Arranges to' Place Women's Attire Upon a Basis of Truly Nominal Price. DOUGLAS ST. FURORE Women who have been bitterly complaining over the constantly rising costs of "wearables," as well as foodstuffs, see at least one glimmer of sunshine in the hori zon, in the shape of the "PARI SIAN PURCHASE SALE" now beinpr conducted by the Orkin Brothers, at their attire empo rium, 1B1J-1521 Douglas street For, beyond a shadow of a doubt women are npw buying garments "cheap" at least they will as long as the formidable "PARISIAN PURCHASE SALE" keeps up. Both J.VL. Orkin and M. Was serman ofM"HE ORKIN BROTH ERS' STORE at 1519-1521 Doug las St., have made serious per sonal efforts to see that exception ally reduced prices are quoted on not only every garment yet ro maining from the former PARI SIAN CLOAK CO. stock, but on nunerous "overstocks" from their own establishment. The combined showing certainly makes this the most attractive stock in Omaha. Taken all in all, Omaha has never yet had a "Sale" wherein so many genuinely stylish women's suits, dresses, coats, skirts, waist3i etc., have been featured at so thorough an underprice. If this were the latter part of July or August you might well say to your self, "Oh, you see, the season is practically over with, and they want to get rid of the garments at any price." But, as you see, dear reader, the season is not over with, and the wearables are all season able. In fact, every piece, every garment in the sale, is a garment of now, made up within the past few weeks, made up with a set idea of being sold and worn during this, the present Spring and Sum mer season. If by chance any of the lines of the former "Parisian" 3tocks had sold down too low to make a showing, they were amply made up by the tremendous "overstocks" and "special buys" of the Orkin Brothers' establishment. So, dor.'t buy h suit, don't buy a dress, or a skirt, or a coat, or a waist until you have at least been through this store, until you have traveled from table to table, sheif to shelf and hanger to hanger, un til you have seen, tried on ..nd compared the garments so thor oughly cut in price in the "PARI SIAN PURCHASE SALE." Look for the larira vellnw KLook also for the Purse That uoesn't Grow Thin So Quickly, the slogan of the great "PARISIAN PURCHASE SALE." Remember that the selling is taking place at the Orkin Brothers' Cloak and Suit establishment at 1519-1521 Douglas street, on the south sidp, near 16th. Hake your dollar do a "Soldier's duty." Make it overcome obstacles and win for your cause 'the cause of Economy. Board Probes Mentality Of Mrs. G. E.
