THK BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1917. 15 Society Watches Boy Scouu. Omaha is touched to the heart by the activity of its young Boy Scouts in patriotic affairs. Almost every home among society people has at least one young man clad in khaki who is in terested in the work and mothers tell with pride, "My Willie took over twenty subscriptions in one day." Some one remarked that the old- fashioned boy who broke windows, ate "all day suckers" and kicked the family cat is gone forever. The boys of today are helping their country and worKlllg ana arming iikc men. The Bov Scouts of France are said to be "perfect wonders." They are seen in the mornings in great numbers in the Bois in Paris, little, black-eved, rurly-headed chaps, ranging from 7 to iO years. Some of the older Scouts have even done service inside tne battle lines. A little boy in Chicago won the hearts of the workers at one of the base hospital units the other day. The women were working away at making bandages, studying for Red Cross exams and the like when a woman en tered the rooms with her tiny son, not so tall as an ordinary table. The mother inquired whether Red Cross memberships were tor sale mere ana when told that they were, the young ster on tiptoe reached up to empty on the table a pockettull of pennies which he had earned, by running er rands, scrubbing steps, wiping disnes, sweeping walks, anything that would bring him Red Cross pennies. The women were so touched with his pa triotism that they stood the little man on- a table in their midst and gave three hearty feminine cheers for the little hero before he walked modestly away.

What woman would fail to look charming in this "wonder suit" of green velours de laine, quaintly collared in youthifying gray squirrel? The stitching of green brings a curve or two to the garment, whose smartness lies partly in its sweep of straight line. The Eton jacket effect, which the" coat produces, is echoed in the little bell-top upper sleeves, The squirrel reap pears at the bottom of the coat and from under it hangs a tight hemmed plain skirt. One of the features worth noting is the flow ered satiji lining, beyond which there is a superlining of green chiffon. The little feather hat of soft beige produces the effect of a nesting bird.
