Society May Meet Missions.
Official Washington has been turn
ed quite topsy turvy this summer, it
seems, because of the presence of so
many visiting "missions" from for
eign powers. Labor day, which m
ordinary times ls'the call for the final
curtain on the vacation season and
the signal for the beginning of au
tumn house openings, will see nearly
all summer travelers back in their
places and all houses open.
Omaha is to have its first "visita
tion" Saturday, when the high French
commission arrives in the city for a
day in our midst. The Commercial
club has arranged a full program for
them, which will admit of little, if any,
social recognition. All the state din
ners, brilliant receptions and official
suppers were indulged in wnne mc
distinguished foreigners were in
Washington, presumably, so that
the remainder oi their stay in the
country might be devoted to getting
in touch with the great American
people. . .
There is a bare chance that society
women may have' an opportunity to
meet the Trench commission. A tele
gram has been sent to Washington
to inquire whether any women ac
company the party and in case they
do, some form of entertainment will
be arranged for them by the members
of I.'AlIiance Francaise. Otherwise
. the Commercial club will designate
Nsonie purely masculine share of the
'program in which the French society
may extend its hospitality to the men
of the commission.
Several officers of L'Alliance Fran
caise are either out of town or have
just returned from vacation trips.
Mrs. Howard M. Baldrige is out of
the city until Thursday. Miss May
Mahoney returned yesterday morning
from a summer visit at Lake Minne
tonka and other Minnesota points.
. Madame August Mothe Borglum,
who, with Mr. Borglum and Master
George Paul Borglui, has been
spending the summer at Silvermine
Artist colony In Connecticut, is ex
pected home !unday or Monday. Mrs.
Charles A. Hull is visiting in Lincoln
for a few days, but is expected home
soon. Mr,s. Frank T. Hamilton has
spent the summer at Lake Minne
tonka, but is at present traveling with
Mr.' Hamilton among the Rockies.
The last letter received from her was
written in Glacier Park.; 'If the cool
weather continues they may both re
turn to Omaha the first week in Sep
tember, although Mrs. Hamilton will
return to Lake Mtnne tonka to ac
company her sister and the children
back to Omaha.
Some of the other officers and a
great many members of the society
have already returned to town; Even
if the women of Omaha are doomed
to disappointment during the visit of
the French commission, later when
the honorable Japanese, who reach
ed Washiugton last week, arrive here
" an opportunity may be found to en
tertain them with some genuine social
continue throughout this week, the
special feature being a reception and
garden party which was given Tues
day evening in the Pan-American
building, where each foreign mission
which has visited Washington this
summer has had a similar entertain
ment, , given by Secretary, and Mrs.
Lansing.' The company enjoyed the
Lansing's own garden Friday evening
for it is a charttu'ng spot, the scene
of most distinguished small parties,
luncheons, dinners and teas.
Spanish Club Holds Outing.
One of the most progressive niove
ments started in Omaha is the jiew
Spanish club organized to further the
'knowledge of the Spanish language,
history, art and civilization in the
southern hemisphere, so that when
war is over the way may be paved for
extended social and commercial ac
tivities with the South American
countries.
, The club held an outing Tuesday
evening at Seymour Lake Country
club. Spanish colors were used in the
table decorations. Spanish sones were
sung and Mrs. R. B. Tedrow and Miss
Dorothy Parsons gave two Spanish
selections, uanemg tollowcd tlve pro
?ram.
At Happy Hollow Club.
For a cut-orice. bartrain sale hieh
' cost of living dinner, Mr. Dunn and
his forces of helpers at Happy Hollow
club really outdid themselves lues
day night. As the special dinners in
augurated by the entertainment com
mittee continue, they grow better and
more popular. Not only was the dm
ner "par excellence," but the cabaret
program v as a special feature of last
night's dinner-dance. Two litth pupils
of Mr. W. t. Chambers gave cos
tume dances during, the courses and
the guests danced between times.
; The numbers included an opening
dance , in Pierette and Pierrot cos
tumes by both Master Tommy Bon
ney and little ,Miss Ruth Rigdon, i
patriotic dance by the former, a but
terfly solo by the latter, a real Ha
waiian impersonation and another
pretty number for conclusion. To add
to this. Koscoe Miller sang by re
quest a rollicking, shuffling darky
long that pleased the diners greatly.

Are You Learning to Save?
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
"A lack of knowledge of the value
of money upon the part of women is
the most powerful enemy to domestic
happiness that exists," declared
Judge Lacy, of the Domestic Rela
tions court in Detroit.
"Just now, it is not only, domestic
happiness which is being threatened
by a lack of knowledge of the value
of money, but the integrity of our
nation itself. Thrift is a part of
patriotism."
Thrift is a sane, sensible use of
materials and is at once a foe to
waste, and to hysterical economy of
the sort which threatens to block the
wheels of trade. Thrift means learn
ing how to make rye bread or corn
bread or graham bread, since the
world needs our wheat. It does not
means starving to death because you
feel you owe jour wheat to the
world!
The people who spend sanely and
sensibly and who keep trade active
and money circulated are far more
patriotic now than are those who
lock away their money in banks or
cracked teapots and interfere with
the steady circulation which is as
necessary to national welfare as is
Fashion Notes
A fashionable color is green. While
summer lasts the shade will be light
and .bright, but "the wearing of the
green'will last on to the winter and
the shade is then to be much darker,
which will be more becoming to many
complexions.
Waistcoats sometimes are an addi
tion to capes, often of rich brocade.
Many waistcoats have prominent
pockets and the military or naval but
tons upon them give a certain cachet.
Some are cut diagonally and cross in
at the back and so keep the cape in
place. ,
An . exquisite draped model is the
one of dark broadcloth just the kind
of a coat for the home woman who
can have but one cloth coat and de
sires something dressy and smart, yet
conservative enough to be worn when
one is afoot in daytime or in the even
ing. Foulard in navy blue is used with
ploth satisfactorily. It lines a 'coat
and runs over into collars and cuffs
or jt trims a little dress, lightening
the wrists, the neck and forming pan
els on the skirt. Then again a frock
of foulard will have voile sleeves and
guimpe.
Red linings are effective with serge,"
broadcloth and checked woolen, all
of which are employed for capes.
Many have armholes made as open
ings in the sides, sometimes hidden by
a braided band, and some have but
tons and buttonholes to diminish or
enlarge the size of the opening.
Pockets are so useful that they have
come to stay; some on evening
dresses are made in tulle with jeweled
ornaments and can be rendered prac
tical. Sometimes they are attached to
jeweled chains carried round the
neck. Many dresses for daily wear
have pockets set squarely outside the
skirt or tunic or basque. They are
improved by embroidery or braiding.
Beads give a light touch to the
neck of a dark gown, and although
they'do not soften a hard line so well
as a lace or lingerie frill, they are ex
cellent war substitutes. A touch of
amber on a brown dress, turquoise
or lapis on dark blue, pale jade. on
black or dark green, scarlet on black
or eray, and all the many lovely be
tween shades lift a dull-toned dress
from monotony.
' The high-Crowned hat is in special
favor just now and one worth noting
shows round the crown a swath of
silk with black velvet discs, tied in a
saucv bow at the back. In front is
an original and artistic-looking buckle
of dull oxidized silver enameled in
black and a peculiarly vivid shade of
turquoise blue the blue at a distance
can hardly be distinguished from the
corresponding shade of green.
the unimpeded circulation of blood
to every individual.
Stoppage of any sort is unhealthy.
Think it over and apply it prac
tically. You know just exactly
what you suffer if your own mech
anism "isn't working perfectly. Things
have to keep going in the steady flow,
which is the principle of life itself
and of the great solar system, which
makes our climate habitable.
When you have imperfect circu
lation you are sick. When com
merce has its circulation blocked or
impeded it suffers, too. There are
basic principles which run through
everything.
Suppose you make over last year's
serge suit and put the $25 and $50
you have saved away. If you take
that money out of circulation for the
mere satisfaction of swelling your sav
ings, are you much better than a
miser? If you save to buy a Liberty
bond and so to stand back of your
country, your own shabbiness was
heroic. But far better than to hoard
your money like a miser would it be
to order a new suit and so help insure
employment to all those who work
to make that suit.
The sort of thrift we owe to our
selves to practice is that which
eliminates waste.' Using cheap cuts
of meat has a definite patriotic value
just now. If the 8 to 16-cent cuts are
not sold, the butcher must make his
profit on the expensive cuts and you,
yourself, are helping force up prices.
Throwing out food which you
cooked carelessly and in too large
quantities is wildly extravagant, too.
If you pay too much for Thursday's
dinner, and, in order to make up for
it, have a cheap and unnourishing
dinner Friday, you are damaging your
health and are not benefitting your
tradesman either 1
The proper attitude toward thrift
and saving today is the one which
makes a sane tabulation of .income
and exoenses.
If you want now to be really j
thrifty, go about it logically. Sit down ,
and figure out your income, decide on
the proportion you feel you can save, !
subtract that, and in figuring your !
expenses take account of it. It does
not belong to you; it belongs to your
future. Then tabulate your ex
penses. Suppose you can afford to spend
$10 a week on your table. That means
that food each day may cost you
about $1.40. .If you spend $2.50 on
Tuesday's table, you will have 30 cents
left for Wednesday.
Dollars are not elastic. They con
tain 100 cents. Each penny has a
definite purchasing power; it won't
buy 5 cents' worth, but it will buy one
full penny's worth, and to throw away
the value of that penny in these days
of stress is little short of criminal.
I think pencil and paper are one of
the great gifts to humanity. No one
who sits down to figure things out and
who gives common sense to (the facts
that are figures, need be extravagant.
Hoarding money may be a factor in
panic; spending money foolishly is
waste. But expending money wisely
and making it bring in full value is
that thrift which is part of patriotism
today. .
