THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1917. i TO SOCIAL HONORS FOR FOR. MER OMAHA OIRL Jy MELLIFICIASept. 18 i I Signs of the Times. This is to be a winter of unprece dented happenings and ... one that Omaha will net soon forget. With the cream of our youth and eligible Beaux Brummels in uniforms at train ing camps and cantonments the out look for this season does not promise to be exactly gay. Debutante par ties are practically abandoned, and were it not for officers from the two forts and occasional weekend visits from the men at nearby camps there would be a decided dearth of dance partners. This does irrno way mean that our resourceful girls are going to rusticate, at least you will not think so when you hear of their plans. Tbere will be entertaining, of course, but it will be' of an informal rather than pretentious nature small ish luncheons and 'matinee parties after a morning spent at the war re lief and Red Cross headquarters. More dinner parties and fewer dances; lectures on the war and Red Cross; knitting bees instead of-bridge par ties; informal motor picnics and French clubs are a few of the diver sions Omahans will interest them selves in while the boys are being fr welded into soldiers, 'sailors, aviators, ambulance drivers and engineers. Speaking of the sudden interest Be ing taken in the French language, mention should again be made of Mrs. Howard Baldrige's untiring efforts to teach the 600 men at Fort Crook, whb are on their way to France as noncommissioned officers, how to speak French. Mrs. Baldrige has gone all summer and continues to go four nights a week to the fort in spite of all her other duties in the Red Cross. Mrs. Sanford Gifford is one of the popular young brides who is pursuing the study of French this winter at the University of Omaha; A French club composed of a number of society girls is in the process of organization, although definite plans are not yet made, according to Miss Meliora Dayis. Society is being completely reor ganized.. New friendships are being formed due to membership on Red Cross and patriotic committees and conceptions of human nature are be ing broadened. One matron remarked that there would be fewer books read this win ter because of the advent of the knitting needle, but it goes without saying that books dealing with the phases of the war will continue to be discussed on every side. The Friday and Monday Bridge Luncheon clubs will continue to play cards, but only half of the members will play t each meeting, the other half knitting for the Red Cross. ' k ' Even, military ditties sung in the training camps are echoed out here and daily we hear some new parody on a popular song. People returning from the east tell us that when the Plattsburg men returned from the en campment and marched in New York, not only the soldiers, but everyone on Broadway joined in and sarig the most popular Song of the rookies in camp. It is sung to the tune of "It's a Long, Long Way A" Winding," ard is as follows: "It's a long-, lonj way before us Into No Man's land In France, Where the shrapnel shells are bursting. There our flag shall soon advance. There'll be lots of drill and hiking Before our dreams will all come true; i But, then, we'll show the Kaiser What the V. B. A. can ao.

Jiome Scovomics Department diied by Irma 7L ?S23E3 Pickle 8 and Relishes In our desire to save all garden produce that can possibly be saved, no doubt many women are reviving the art of pickling. We must admit at the outset that pickles will never stand successfully when judged from the standpoint of wholesomeness. The only purpose of pickles and rel ishes is to stimulate appetite and add zestto mild flavored foods. If they did just these two things, and stop ped at that point, we would have no case against them, for both things are legitimate; but unfor tunately very highly flavored foods are apt to prove irritants to the mem brance of the digestive tract; and the hardness of some pickles makes them almost proof against the attacks of the digestive juices. But since we de mand pickles, we can at least make some choice. The milder flavored ones, like catsup, have the objection able qualities in the least degree, hence are most worthy of a place on our tables. All the recipes given below are not of equal value from the standpoint of digestibility; but you, Mrs. Housekeeper, can make your own choice. ( ' In making any pickle or relish, it is well to remember that the keeping qualities depend on the vinegar and spices added, which act as preserva tives, and also, in many cases, upon the complete sterilization or boiling. Naturally, the very strong pickles con tain more preservative, and will keep independently of the sterilization. Where directions are given for boil ing a certain length of time, that time should be followed explicitly. v CORN RELISH. 1 doxen ears corn I pt. vinegar 1-8 cup olive oil Cut corn irom cob.

T. U. Emphasizes Necessity of Conservation and Be lief of War Sufferers. The annual convention of the Wom en's Christian Temperance union of Douglas county opened Tuesday at 9 o'clock in the Young Men's Christian association auditorium. Mrs. Elizabeth W. John presided and spoke in her opening address of the encour aging outlook for the temperance cause now, also emphasizing the close union between war activities and the temperance campaign. The reports of the county superin tendent in charge of the different di visions of work, conservation of re sources and war relief were the main themes. "The work of saving the world's foodstuffs has been placed upon the shoulders of the mothers," said Mrs. James Dalzell. "But is it not crimi nal that the men of the nation should drink 11,000,000 loaves of bread a day? The amount of grain used to make beer for the country in a day would make that many loaves ot bread, enough for 7,000,000 soldiers. Thus, if the manufacture of beer would stop, we could save enough to feed our soldiers." Mrs. Flora Hoffman told of the work among soldiers and sailors in the county and issued an appeal for more workers. She also touched upon conservation. "This seems a new idea to us, but it is not," she said. "During the rev olutionary war Martha Washington was the first to emphasize the need of conservation. A friend called upon her one day and found her wearihg a dress woven of the ravelings frm the upholstering of a set of chairs. Instead of throwing away the worn out material she had unraveled the threads carefully and rewoven them. All the women of the revolution saved in similar ways." .

Sensitive ness and pride led ' her to do that. But real love and loyalty would naturally re fuse absolutely. If the girl were going to be a cruel burden to the man she loved she might be Justified In continuing to insist. But even on crutches a woman of fine feel ings, unselfishness and generosity can be far mora of a helpmate to a man than could a Woman who had her full quota of limbs and a distorted soul. I think there is every reason why love should be more Important than pride and why the girl should marry and make a beautiful thing of the partnership on which she is enter ing. She mustn't let herself be afraid that only pity and chivalry are Influencing her fiance.
