No More Society Small Talk.
Te table talk in Omaha these days,
like everything else, is devoted lo
Red Cross. At the tea Tuesday aft
ernoon by Mrs. Charles D. Beaton
for Mrs. Wilson Austin of Pclham
Manor, N. Y., who is visting her par
ents, Mr. and Mr3. C. F. McGrew.
nd for Mrs. E. A. Wurster, jr.. of
Milwaukee, the guests compared
notes. "I've been down at the -store,"
one would say. "Where is
your booth?" "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.
Paramount in importance this week
Is the work of enlisting members in
the Red Cross. Rivalry between the
members of booth committees is high
and they work incessantly. From
early morning when the stores open
ontil late at night when the theaters
Close they work away. At the Or
pheum last evening, where Mrs.
Franklin Shotwell and her helpers
are in charge, they enrolled at the
evening performance only out-of-town
people.
For the guests of honor at yester
day's tea a number of small parties
re being given this week. Mrs. Wur
ater leaves Monday for her home in
Milwaukee. Today Mrs. C. F. Mc
Grew had an informal luncheon party

ater, sr., of Milwaukee, which in

For Sprint Brides.

charming luncheon at1 the Blackstone,
followed by an Orpheum parly for
six of the spring brides. Place cards

the guests, but each bore a different
.' flower. Before the guests entered the
dining room the hostess distributed
a variety of flowers among the guests.
Roses, carnations, sweet peas, tulips,
jonquils, all the spring flowers, were
among them. Each member of the

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. Philadelphia Ledger.

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
