6 THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, MAY 18, 1917, Church Holdi May Breikfait. In the press of Red Cross work we are apt to forget that this is the glorious month of May, when the flowers that April showers and snow encouraged are peeping out of the ground. Women ot at. Marys Av enue Congregational church are wont to celebrate this season each year with a purelv social function, the May breakfast for the last ten years or so this has been one of the delightful social events of the May-time for members of this church and women of other churches whom they invite in large numbers to be their guests. One year the church brides were the host esses, another year the young girls received and this year the matrons of the church preside at the tables. Miss Ida Smith, chairman of the young woman s auxiliary, had charee the breakfast which was rvH in the church narlors at 1 o'clock. Miss Naomi Towle heads the Junior auxiliary, which had charge of the flowers. Small tables for eight were set and these were decorated with real soring blossoms, purple li lacs just coming out in all their frag rance, and dainty pink tinted apple blossoms. Mrs. Harry Steele sang charming spring songs. About 170 guests were present. Eddy-Eller Wedding. . The marriage of Miss Mildred Eller, daughter of former County Judge El ler, to Mr. Clarence J.

Fink and white with a background of green was the color scheme. Palms and ferns were used throughout the rooms and pink and white flowers. The bride wore a gown of delicate cream color, with a slight tinting of pink. Her long veil fell from the back of the head and her hair was dressed high. She carried a shower bouquet of white roses and pink aweet peas. Miss Mildred Hauth as maid of honor wore a gown of pink charmeuse and carried an arm bouquet of pink roses.

Takes Part In College Fete. College May fetes are among the most charming events in our prosaic lives. Miss Emma Elizabeth Wright, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George T. Wright, has written to her parents about the beautiful one in which she took part at Sweet Briar college in Virginia. She was a yellow dandelion in the company of flowers which fol lowed the May queen to the mossy dell where she was crowned. Purple violets made a natural carpet for the queen, and the trees which enclosed the glade were masses of pink blos soms. Miss Wright will be at home just as soon as exeaminations are over in about two weeks and early in June she will accompany her parents to their summer home, "Tennyson Cot- Mr. Weller'i Birthday.

AK-SAR-BEN NEEDED MORETHAN EVER Refreshment of Mind and Busi ness Stimulant More Urg ent Since Declaration of War. There are already 1,003 members of Ak-Sar-Ben for this year, and the campaign for members has scarcely begun in earnest. This renort was made bv the hustling committee at its meeting. President Buckingham of Ak-Sar-Ben declares war talk is having little, if any. effect in retarding the crnwlli of the membership. "This is the one year when Ak-Sar-Ben should work harder than ever before," he said, "and when we should have a large membership. Conservation is eood. and wise, but while we are conserving, let us keep up this big organization, keep up the business of this com munity rather than to put the lid on and oppress things." Randall K. Brown said he had no doubt 1,500 members would sign up by June 1. "If there ever was a year when we need an organization like AK-sar-uen in its lull strength," he said, "it is this year. We need this refreshment of mind." Charley Black declares the show at the den this year promises such a wide variety and such a succession of thrills and laughs that those who do not join before the show com mences will surely come in as soon as they hear it talked about on the streets. Frank Tudson declared all that is needed is "pep" in the hustling com mittee, and that a little more of this product will bring in the biggest membership in history. Uiairman Charles baunders of the committee promised another meeting of the committee for next week and said some big results in membership gains would be rennrtnl at that tlm John Hogan, E. L.

"LISTEN - SAYS IF YOU D0NT LIKE COMMON CORN FLAKES JUST TRY PostToasties ( College Women Will Go to Nebraska Farms To Give Their Assistance to Wives of Tillers of the Soil; Collegiate Alumnae Stand Sponsor for the Move buth marrpsojv Omaha college women, under the leadership of Mrs. H. S. McDonald, have offered to assist the wives of farmers during the summer months, in the absence of men who have gone to war. Tins action was taken at a merlins of Association of Collegiate Alumnae women, who met Wednesday after noon at the home of Miss Ruth Mc Donald to organize a knitting detach ment in the National League for Wo man Service. The girls, who were eager to be of service, rallied to a suggestion made by Mrs. McDonald that they do that wmcn was most vitally needed now. help on the farms. It is a splendid thine that these trained college women, who are well equipped for most any line of work, are willing to give up a certain period of their summer vacation to helping some overworked farmer's wife in real Can Women Keep Secrets? By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Is there any truth in the time-hon ored assertion that no woman can keep a secret? I say Nor I actually believe that a practical test would bring out the tact that women really keen secrets as well as men. But they have earned their reputation tor not keeping se crets in two ways. first of all, women are much more sympathetic than men and so thev are given far more confidences. They nave more secrets to keep and not all of them are legitimate. And this brings us to the second point. Some times women are tor&ed to listen to confidence they never wanted to hear, and when they have heard the whole unwholesome story, they discover that it involves someone to whom thev owe allegiance, and thev tell the un- desircd confidence because it seems to them more important to protect that friend than to have a reputation for keeping their word. then there is the weaker excuse based on similar grounds. Often a woman promises on the spur of the moment to keep quiet about a story and decides afterward that her curi osity led her into listening to some- tmng which ought to bo told, bhe deprecates the eagerness to know which led her into making a rash promise and decides dispassionately to oreaK her word. 1 here is really onlv one safe rule to follow. Refuse to be given the confidence of some one for whom you do not care. Refuse to listen to a secret which will be in no way sacred to you. And when you have given your promise to keep to yourselt a story wmcn has been to d vou. keep absolutely to the word you have given. If you feel that divulging the story will save some one yon love from suffering, go to the individual who gave you his confidence and beg him to permit you to speak. Unless you have this permission it must be as if you did not know. Men worry less than women about other people's troubles and women when they break confidence are of ten doing it out of an impersonal desire to help some one else. I am going to quote a little story I re cently heard which tells of a woman who blundered, with all the eood in tentions in the world, into absolutely ucirdying a connaence. a man once told a woman in con FRECKLES Now Is the Time to Get Rid of These Ugly Spots.

His confidante was put un der oath not to divulge the Secret, which she kept religiously until a year later, when she heard accidentally i. at he was about to marry an old school friend. It appeared right to warn her 'pal' and, with some trepida tion, she did so. 'It transpired, however, that the trouble between the lovers, because the girl was annoyed that she had not been told her fiance was a wid ower. The man had remained silent because he did not care to make known the failings of the woman he once called wife." The woman blundered so much is quite evident. And her intentions were kindly and generous. The point is that when you betray a confidence because you think there is need tor it, you tell a story of which you know only part. You have no perspective on the situation and vou can hardly fail to do harm. Women are naturally loyal and gen erous and if they are not so secretive or close-mouthed as men they are not so often guilty as they are sup posed to be, of "talking just for the sake of talking." It is their judgment which is lacking not their ability to keep silent! Do my readers agree with me? f shall be glad to hear the man's view of it as well as the feminine judgment. I think "a sacred confidence" is safe with any fine human being, regardless of sex. French Army Officer Arrive. Washing-ton. May 17.

The women in charge gave him some money and told him to ask each of his friends to give him a nickel. At noon he came back with the neces sary amount and a radiant smile.
