Miss Barker spent some time in sunny California this year with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Barker, and was quite fascinated by the paper knitting bags which seemed to be the finishing touch to the smart costumes seen. on the beaches. The little bags, so handy for your "hankie", and your knitting, have paper " handles twisted in a -curious way anid fastened to the ' bag with tiny tacks. And, now, , enter Miss Barker, armed with scissors, paste and smart looking ladies clipped from Vogue. Presto, you have before you a chic little bag, with the New York iest look about it imaginable. Omaha women are very enthusiastic -about the bags, especially as the money realized from their sale is poured" into the coffers of the Red Cross by this patriotic miss. All mem bers of the Original Cooking club have these receptacles for their war knitting and Mrs. George Prinz car ries a very patriotic one, with the lovely Red Cross nurse clipped from a recent Vogue cover on one side, while on the other- that medieval hero, St. George, his long military cape bear ing the huge red cross, while the same emblem-appears in his coat-of-arms, in one corner of the design.

Colorado Has 6,000 Boy Recruits for Farms Recruiting work among Colorado mothers has been so successful that 6,000 boys have been permitted to en list for farm work in the United States boys' . working reserve of the Department of Agriculture and it is likely, that the quota of 10,000 will be completed before the schools close, according to Joseph H. Jaffa, federal state director. "We have a great deal of special work in connection with the moth ers," writes- Mr; Jaffa. "The women of the smaller towns realize the need of the farms more than the city moth, ers, consequently we have to impress our city mothers Vvit.h the importance of allowing their boys to go on farms. But we find that just as soon as our women understand that their boys will be well taken care of they are perfectly willing to let them go. We realize that wnerever we meet opposition it is caused through lack of understanding. "The scale of wages ranges from $20 to $45 a. month, including room and board, and during the harvest it reached $3 a day.

Young Men's Christian associjUjof Lincoln Girl Dedicates Song to United States Soldiery (From a Staff Correapondeot,) Lincoln, May 29.-(Special.) Miss Marian Sargent of Lincoln has com posed and set to music a song dedi cated to the United States soldiery on land or sea, and in air, called to, arms April 6. 1917. It is especially appropriate for Memorial day. Miss Sargent comes from fighting stock. Her Great Grandfather Win throp was in the revolutionary war; her grandfather. Charles Sargent was a veteran of the war of 1812; her father, Charles H. Sargent, was a veteran of the civil war, a member of the Eighth Massachusetts volun teers; while her brother, Joseph A. Sargent is a captain of engineers "somewhere in France." The song follows: t " 1 The Anointed (Copyrighted, 1918.) Dedicated to the United Statea aoldlery on land, on ea, In air called to arma April , 1917. Into Thy hands we commend them, Chosen sons of a race. Bared for Thy spirits anointing, ' Seeking Thy holy place. Father of supplicant nattons Humbly Thy servants kneel Tjnto each heart low. bending. Thy soverlgn truth reveal.

Patriotic Women Discover Colonel Neglected in Service for the Privates Fity the poor bachelor, especially if he's in khaki. Don't, however, lave all your sympathy for the drafted man or the lonely private. Who would think that the com manding officer of Fort Omaha would be neglected when Omaha has grown famous for her mothering of the sol diers within her gates? It was left to the Dundee Patriotic club to discover that Colonel Hersey actually wanted a small attention and didn't know where to find it. Club members, noted for their original pat riotic ventures, met the colonel at the canteen the other evening and just happened to tell him how they were all so busy "doing their bit" for the military. After enthusiastic approval the com mandant hinted that he, too, liked handknit socks, but the women never guessed that a colonel wouldn't have everything in his comfort kit until he admitted that he didn't have any and didn't know where to buy them. The colonel will never want for handknit socks again I New Styles in Window Boxes There boxes. is a new style in window Mrs. Hugo Mansfeldt of San Fran cisco has started it. Mrs. Mansfeldt has a large music studio, but she became so interested in the war garden army that she couldn't stand it to think she didn't have an inch of ground to dedicate to Uncle Sam. So she tore the geraniums and narcissus and nasturtiums out of her long row of picturesque window boxes and planted onions, radishes, and car rots instead. She hadn't made this change in her window decorations for longer than a day before her neigh bors in the surrounding studios began to follow the fashion, and now every studio building in San Francisco and Los Angeles and half of the business houses of San Diego have miniature gardens on the window ledges. This sounds like a joke, coming from California; but it was no joke when it reached New York. The set tlement workers there caught the idea, and so have the children of the tene ment districts. Little Isidor Jacobs of Cherry Hill and Guido Bacci Galupi of Mulberry Bend, have put out an onion garden on a fire escape of their respective homes, and Woe to any stray cat that dares intrude upon tho sacred precincts of those gardens. The service pins for the United States war garden army have not been sent out from Washington yet, but when they are Isidor is determined to have one with at least one star, and it is the consensus of opinion among the settlement workers that he really deserves at least that much official distinction. Two women graduates of a special course in bacteriology at Hunter col lege are now in the army camps with the rank of second lieutenant, and later will be sent to the front.

' Rice Flour A Good Wheat Substitute Rice flour is one of the wheat flour substitutes recommended by the food administration. i Until recently it was not for sale at many grocery stores. Now, however, millers are beginning to grind it in larger quantities and it will soon be commercially available. Naturally, housewives are interested and want full information. Rice flour is a valuable food. It is nutritious and possessed of a good flavor. Its white color materially aids the color of the loaf, especially when wheat substitute flours are used. Mixed with wheat flour it makes very fine bread at.d some housewives use it in triple combination with barley and wheat flour. Rice flour can be used for bread, cakes, pastry anything. Early Spring Favors Memorial Day Flowers Since Memorial day was instituted it has been customary on this day to decorate with flowers the graves of the dead who in their lives gave serv ice to their country. Nowadays such decoration is not confined merely to the resting places of those who ren dered patriotic service, but is extend ed to graves generally. This year there will be many pa triots to be commemorated whose graves it is not possible to decorate. Those who mourn their boys fallen at the froht in the cruel war now in progress will have their grief accentu ated through the fact that it is not for them to decorate these soldier graves. The peony is, without question, the most popular flower for use on Me morial day, and is always available in one or other of its types. There will, of course, be plenty of other flowers available roses, carnations, Easter lilies, callas, pansies and the like, and shrub flowers. Croix De Guerre for a , Chaplain The first American chaplain to re ceive the croix de guerre from the French government is the Rev. Wal ter S. Danker of Worcester, Mass., an Episcopal chaplain in the 104th United States infantry. The Living Church announces that Mr. Danker's name headed the list of 117 officers and men of the regiment who were decorated for bravery. Moreover, the regimental colors were officially deco rated in honor of the bravery of the entire regiment. Mrs. E. A. Creighton is leaving in a few days for a three months' east ern trip.

And husbands will probably softly murmur something (not exactly po lite) when they hear it, for their duty of "buttoning her up" has begun once more. Yes, the button-up-the-back blouse is here, and it's emphatically so pret ty that even "husband" won't mind the extra few minutes required of him each day, when he must act in the capacity of lady's maid. Just this week did these blouses arrive in Omaha from a very ultra modish Fifth avenue blouse shop, and they are so youthful and absolutely "different" from the blouses we've been wearing for a few seasons past that every woman will welcome them with delight as charming companions for the popular separate silk skirts and sleeveless jackets. Quaint Neck. The pretty and demurely quaint round neck, finished with a ruffle, or, if your fancy chooses, with two or more ruffles, is, perhaps, the chief claim for the becomingness of these blouses, though a very few beautiful ones merely boast a row or two of shirred cording, while one particularly lovely blouse of that favorite war-time shade, "soldier blue," has the. bravado to assert its completeness, with just a row of black wood beads around the between small tucks, both back and Very simple, yet most effective, is a blouse of white organdy with three little fluted ruffles of a delicious shade of rose-pink organdy around the neck and sleeves. Tiny pink pearl buttons hctwee small tucks, both back and front, add a dainty touch. Coral Buttons, exquisite blouse of pink georgette, claims ruffles and bell-shaped cuffs of crispy, white organdy, adorned with bright coral buttons. Chenille embroidery in a star-with-in-a-wheel ' design, characterizes an exquisite blouse of pink geogette, which is finished at both the neck and cuffs with three rows of corded shirring. The buyer remarked that these new, round neck, button-up-the-back affairs were made after the true Par isian models, for they have that fea ture which distinguishes the artistic French blouse, the back and front be ing identical in appearance. Y. W. C. A. Officials to France Mrs. James S. Cushman, 1 chairman of the war work council of the Nation al Young Women's Christian associa tion, and a party of seven associates in the organization have .wived at a French port.

A woman's college is to be opened in connection with Rutger's, at New Brunswick, N. J. Are the American women of today doing their bit as efficiently as did their grandmothers and mothers in the '60s? In regard to the sacrifices of American women in the civil war, a prominent writer of that period de clared: "Women there were in this war, who, without a single relative in the army, denied themselves for the whole four years the comforts to which they had always been accus tomed; went thinly clad, took the extra blanket from their bed, never tasted tea, or sugar, or meat, that they might wind another bandaee 'round some unknown soldier's wound, or give some parched lips in the Hospital another sip of wine.
