open air ball room and dance music
will begin at 7 o'clock in order to
allow dancing between each course.
Since only ISO people can be accom
modated, those who wish to attend
are hastening to telephone their res
ervations before the dead .line, Mon
day night at 8. This is the first of a
series of unusual dinners planned by
the entertainment committee. As an
nounced before a high cost of living
dinner will be given soon.
International Bridge Prizes.
"International prizes" are to be
offered for the Tuesday bridge tour
nament at the Field club this week,
proceeds of which will go to the
Omaha chapter of the Daughters of
the American Revolution for its con
valescent hospital fund. Perhaps "in
ternational prizes" strikes you as too
ponderous a term to apply to prizes
at cards, but the fact is that Mrs. A.
V. Shotwell, in selecting the gifts for
this' week's game, chose articles which
represent as many nationalities as
there are pieces. A pair of Japanese
book-ends in the shape of elephants
is one of the prettiest. Half a dozen
tea glasses made in America are suit
able to the season. A beautifully
framed Fnencli print of Madame Pom
padour ; is offered to the art-loving.
A Grecian vase, a Chinese sandwich
plate, a bronze Indian incense burner
and a black and white English break
fast tray complete the list.
Knitting Week Benefits.
Knitting week in the National
League for Woman's Service will be
featured by a variety of interesting
events planned by the chairman, Mrs.
Harvey Newbranch. The first plans
to be made public, concern three card
parties to be given at three country
clubs to make money for the purchase
of yarn. The original idea was to
have all three on Thursday, but' it
could not be arranged. A chairman
from each club has been appointed
and she in turn chooses four assist
ants. Mr. A. V. Shotwell, who ably man
ages the Field club bridge games, is
in charge of the play Thursday at the
Field club. Mrs. F. J. Jumper, who
is in charge of the regular Thursday
bridge game at Happy Hollow club,
will direct the play for the knitting
division. Mrs. O. M. Smith is in
charge at Carter Lake club, where the
card party will be given on Wednes
day. Ddzens of women have . spent all
they can in the purchase of yarn and
will have to stop i work if money is
not raised to buy their supplies. Mrs.
Newbranch intends to make a valiant
effort to collect enough money to
keep every worker busy in order that

Plan Red Cross Ball.
Omaha and Council Bluffs coun
try club people will soon be treated
to a most delightful dancing party if
the plans now being formulated by
Mrs. Donald Macrae of Council Blufts
mature. Mrs. Macrae, who is an en
thusiastic Red Cross worker, is dis
cussing a Red Cross ball to be given
at the Council Bluffs Rowing associa
tion' in the near future. Since the
club house will probably not be large
enough to accommodate the many
friends of the club members in Coun
cil Bluffs and Omaha who will re
ceive ' invitations, canvas may be
stretched taut over the smooth hard
tennis courts, directly in front of the
club building, to provide additional
room for the dancers in the open air.
An orchestra will then be stationed
on the balcony of the club house in
order to allow any one who wishes to
dance inside, while others dance in
the moonlight out of doors.
Simmer Flower Gardens Are the Joy
Of Omahat People Who Stay at Home
Shy little Miss Anne Page Trinder, daughter of Major
and Mrs. John Trinder and granddaughter of Mr. aud Mrs.
Walter T. Page, loves her grandparents' garden more than
any place she knows. She plays in it all the time and likes
nothing better than to pick the flowers that grow there in
such profusion. All sorts of interesting things are in the
garden, such as butterflies and birds, who gather around
the bird bath beside which Mrs. Walter T. Page is stand
ing in the picture. Then there is the gazing bowl, beside
which little Mistress Anne is standing. In it there are won-.
derful sights of sky and trees that are altogether fascinat
ing to the little tot. The Page garden is one of the loveliest
in the city and is a source, of great enjoyment to the entire
family. . '
