THE BEE: OMAHA, . SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 1918. 17 Conducted by. Ella Fleishmartv . " 1 ' , - , - 6 By MELLIFICIA Will Omaha Lose Charming Social Set of Fort . , Crook? The rumor. that the Forty-first in . fantry may be transferred Jrom Fort Crook to Canlp Funston fills us with consternation. The officers and. their wives now living at the post have made an enviable place 'or them t velves in the hearts of Pmahans, who wculd regret to see tljeir quarters at the post dismantled and the long train bearing these charming people Kan sasward. -'.It goes without saying that the bachelor officers will be greatly missed, for hospitable Omaha has opened wide her doors to these young men. . They have dined and danced with our pretty young girls "and a very effective little scene took place at the depot the other evetfinjr when a number of them were seen bidding adieu to a group of attractive girls. We might even go into detail as to the extent of the goodbyes, for some of them were not exactly platonic. ' , The family of Colonel Abner Pick ering, commandant at the post, has but recently come to Fort Crook and . Omaha has hardly had a chance to 'say "how-do-you-do" and now they are perhaps to' leave us. Major and MrSr Robert Hamilton have been at the post so long that they are really old residents, we feel, and they will "be sadly missed. The most enjoyable of all the social affairs at the post have been given at the Hamilton quar ters and everyone knows what de lightful Sunday night suppers are . given at this hospitable home. . Major and Mrs. C. S. Severson and small daughter, Dorothy, are another charming family who have endeared themselves to their Omaha friends. Among the other army matrons who have made the post such a delightful place this winter are, Mesdames W. K. Barnes, II. II. Bisscll, J. C. Black burn, C. Cv-Bond, W. G. Champlin, W. H De Burrs, C C Harper, J D. Hollister, H. S. Smith, Y. M. Stuart, L L. Sutton, L. M. Thompson, Her bert L. Landolt, G. E. Brothers, G. A. Warner, Denvil Barnhill, C. R. Moore. J. D.

Following a report to the Jewish welfare board that many of the young men in service were disturbed over :ondtiorts at home, the committee pn personal service plans to visit the home of every Jewish soldier and jailor whose family is said to be in distress. The families in need will be olaced in charge of the Red Cross, ivith which the Jewish welfare board is working in closest co-operation. Families not requiring financial as sistance but in need of other aid will se cared for by" the committee on personal service. To do this work a large corps volunteers will be neces sary. With this required assistance in view a course of lectures and in struction in field work for efficient service has recently been completed m 'New York City.

Metcalf and sister, Mrs. Ada Hersche of Portland, Ore., left Thursday evening to visit Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cornish at Cold-Springs-On-The-Hudson. Mrs. Newlywed Scores Even with the high cost of living and occasional scarcity of some food products, Mrs. Newly Wed has an advantage over her predecessors of last year and the years before, and this is that Mr. Newly Wed can make no remarks about "the way mother used to cook." The way mother used to cook is as out of date as if it pre ceded the war of the secession. Conservation cooking, as we are beginning to know it, dates only with the season's brides. Years from now they may say to daughters-in-law, ''Yes, my dear, I was married in the first year of national food conserva tion. We never served two forms of proteid at the same meal; two lumps of sugar in coffee was quite bad form, and the best families had oleomar garine on the table. "Fifty-fifty bread? Why of course, and you cannot imagine what light and delightful muffins and cakes as weir as loaves I used to make. I re-, member one summer when I was away, John had to stay with his mother for a while, and his digestion was uite upset. Mother-in-Law Smith was brought up in the old-fashioned wasteful school of cookir.g and could never quite manage the conser vation recipes." Housekeeping now is full of inter est to the little Mrs. Newly Wed. Unhampered by traditions, .nd proud, not ashamed -of the most careful economy, her keen young brain and willing hands are working not alone for her John, but for her country. Watermelon Makes Annual Debut on the Omaha Market Our old and luscious friend, A. Watermelon, made his annual debut on the Omaha market in the last week. As yet he is extremely scarce and ex pensive, but reports- from the fields say the watermelon will be on deck in abundance and at comparatively low prices a few weeks hence. Strawberries are in the heydey of their glory and goodness and abund ance. They sell at from 20 to 35 cents for a quart box and this is the time to eat 'em in shortcakes, pies and just plain with cream, or whatever way you like them best. Some big California cherries are here, selling around 50 cents a pound. Pineapples are plentiful and not high in price. The last remnants of the apple crop are on rhe market and oranges are not overly abundant and are very high in price. , Grapefruit is good now and My Hat Diary -rBY- Carita Herzog I went shopping yesterday with Mrs. Guthry and she look ed Jtoo adorable for words, and she is so sweet, ioo. We took tea at "Hatten Place" and after that we went to "Mandel's" to look for suits. She wanted i suit to i --- v uut, wiiiui was uiauc j- of deep purple satin. It was a stunning shape so odd.

Miss Anna Lane, teacher in Central High school, has received an appoint ment from the Congregational union tc teach in Union college in Peking, China. Miss Lane will leave this country the latter part of August un less war conditions make it inadvis able that she sail. She will attend the Congregational convention in Boston previous to her departure. Miss Lane will leave Omaha on June 6 with Miss Emily Rough, who will be married at Ann Arbor, June 8. A social affair was given Wednes day for Miss Lane by Miss Susan Paxson, whose sister, Ruth, is secre tary of the Young Women's Christian association in China. The length of Miss Lane's stay in China is not cer tain. the price hasn't advanced as it has with its brother oranges. "Eat potatoes" is the command now quite the opposite from a year ago, when only the rich could in dulge in spuds which were $1 a peck. Today they sell as low as 25 cents a' peck and the supply is so great that people are asked to eat them in place of wheat foods, so that the supply may be put to use before the new crop comes on. The recent rains have brought out the supply of early garden truck in great array. Radishes, lettuce, string beans, peas and so on are extremely plentiful. From gardens in the south have come early turnips, parsnips, red beets, spinach, cucumbers .and other things to gladden the appetite. To matoes are beginning to appear in fairly good quantity and appetizing flavor now, 1 Danish Sisterhood society No. 57 organized a Red Cross knitting aux iliary Wednesday afternoon to meet each week in Washington hall.

The exig ences of war have made it neces sary to close the school, whose halls have echoed the laughter of so many Omaha girls, now grown to woman hood. For the duration of the war, the stairways will be deserted and the windows dark and cold while our younger girls wnl seek the branches of higher learning in eastern schools. The war lord seems determined even to change the commencement plans, for the board of directors have decided to move the date of the clos ing activities forward, owing to the increase of railroad rates, soon to go into effect. The baccalaureate sermon Girls Sell Papers and Gather Pennies for the Red Cross These are the Red Cross news girls Bernice Chandler and Gretchen Williams. They plied their trade in front of The Bee building last Satur day, selling only The Bee. More than $50 was added to the Red Cross drive fund through their efforts. Five dollars was the highest price paid for The Bee. When the regular newsie on the street corner began to look ruefully on, Bernice and Gretchen compro mised with him by buying their sup ply of papers from him at double the usual price.
