Suffrage and Vassar
Clubs Honor Girl Who
Will Serve in France
The Equal Franchise society is just.
ly proud of its talented young presi
dent. Miss Mona. Cowell, who has
pledged herself to her country s serv
ice. Miss Cowell leaves very soon for
war-scarred France, where she will
join the army of canteen workers who
serve behind the lines that the spirit
and courage of the warriors in the
trenches may be sustained.
Miss Cowell will be the standard
bearer of this group of Omaha women
who compose one of the most promi
nent suffrage clubs in the city and it
seems most fitting that one who has
been so zealous in the cause of equal
franchise should be chosen to take an
active part in the winning of freedom
tor the world.
Miss Cowell was honor guest at a
most delightful luncheon Wednesday
given at the Blaekstone by members
of this suffrage organization and the
Vassar club, of which Miss Cowell is
a member. The guests were seated
at small tables very artistically dec
crated with patriotic colors, the flow
ers carrying out the color scheme
with -the blue of the larkspur and the
red and white of the fragrant carna
tion, liny place cards emblazoned
with our flag marked the places of the
52 guests who attended to do honor
to Miss Cowell.
Following the luncheon an informal
little program was given, after
which Miss Cowell was presented with
a leather traveling bag, beautiful in its
appointments. Mrs. Charles .
Johannes, who was toastmistress of
the occasion, presented the gift with
a graceful little speech and Miss
Cowell responded. Mrs. Johannes
then introduced Mrs. Halleck Rose
who (poke so beautifully of Miss
Cowell and her work.
Different members of the society
were hostesses at the tables and those
seated at the speaker's table included
Misses Mona Cowell, May Copeland,
Mesdames Charles E. Johannes, Hal
leek Rose, E, M. Fairfield, J. H. Du
mont. Philip Potter, E. S. Rood. Rob
ert Cowell, Philip Potter and Harold
Gifford.

their secret, as she accompanied the
younj couple, Mrs. Frits and her

chums that it would not have been
quite complete otherwise.

home with the bride's mother for the

An old, old rule in the by-laws of

i My Hat Diary
-BY-
Carita Herzog
I think June Is the loveliest
month because so many wed
dings take place then. I've gone
to oodles of June weddings this,
year, and the prettiest one was
the Chapin-Brooks wedding.
Yvonne Chapin, you know, mar
ried that handsome Captain
Ralph Brooks. I think weddings
are rather sad, don't you? I
made up my mind I wasn't going
to cry, but when Yvonne came
down the aisle leaning on her
father's arm she looked so like a
mere child that my eyes became
suspiciously moist even when I
tried to refrain from showing
my emotions. Yvonne wore a per
fectly gorgeous bride's veil. It
was lovely silk tulle, cut in points
at the top, and extended up as
a crown about three inches above
her head. A soft wreath of
orange blossoms formed the be
ginning of the tulle crown. The
veil fell to the bottom of the
dress and was cut in a row of
scallops at the edge. I have
never seen a more attractive
bridal veil.

Library Metes
More than 200 highly desirable
books, modern drama, fiction and
technical volumes, was Omaha's re
sponse to an appeal from the public
library for books for Fort Omaha and
Fort Crook soldiers, printed last week
in The Bee.
Dundee Woman's club made the
largest contribution, having turned
over the club library of drama and fic
tion, including the works of Shakes
peare, Galsworthy, Hauptmann, Sud
ermann and other writers of the best
type of literature..
"Part with the books you love best
and read the most," is the appeal of
Miss Lila Bowen, who has charge of
the post libraries. So 'many people
ask What kind of books do soldiers
like?' A good test of the kind of
book to give is 'What kind of book do
you yourself like to read?' and 'What
books do the men of your acquaint
ance read the most? That's the
answer because our national army
now comprises men of all classes."
Kipling is always in demand, es
pecially his service poems which
breathethe right kind of war spirit,
according to Miss Bowen. Jack Lon
don, Rex Beach and Zane Grey are
always read extensively.
Two of the latest war books of spe
cial interest because they were writ
ten by men who lived in Germany
during the first three years of the
Great War, are now on the library
shelves. One is "The Land of Deep
ening Shadow or Germany at War,"
written by Thomas Curtin on request
of Earl Grey, English war secretary.
The other is "Inside the German Em
pire," by Herbert Bayard Swope,
newspaperman. Ambassador Gerard
recommends this book most highly.
Another interesting book is "An
Uncensored Diary from the Central
Empires," written by Edith D. Bullitt,
wife of a newspaperman living abroad
after war was declared.

t
first lesson always takes much long,
er than the later ones.
The children are taught to clean
the vegetables and blanch or scald
them. They are then dipped in cold
water. The rubber is placed on the
jar, the vegetables are packed in,
with a teasponful of salt to each quart
of vegetables, boiling water is added,
or syrup if fruit is being canned, the
top is placed on and partly sealed.
Employ Health Nurses
For Infant Welfare
Washington, June 16. Employment
of health nurses to protect and save
lives of children is advocated in a
statement issued today by the Chil
dren's Bureau of the Department of
Labor, in connection with its cam
paign to save the lives of 100,000 chil
dren this year.
Many parents have learned from
the measuring test conducted as a
part of the campaign, the special
needs of children which can be met
by public health nurses, the state
ment says. These nurses can do much
to bring underweight children up to
the average, and look after the well
being of children undernourished.
England has a nurse tor every 500
births reported annually, enabling
every mother to liave immediate at-
tention wnicn oitentimes means tne
saving of the child's life. As a result
England has a lower infant death rate
than the United States. New Zealand,
which has made special efforts for
qualified health nurses, has a lower
infant mortality rate than any other
country.
Helen Gould Shepard's
Fiftieth Birthday
Mrs. Finley J. Shepard, who before
her marriage was Miss Helen M.
Gould, is to be congratulated today on
her recovery from a recent severe ill
ness, and also because this is her 50th
birthday anniversary. Mrs. Shepard
is the elder daughter of the late Jay
Gould, the New York capitalist.
From her father she inherited a for
tune of about $10,000,000. She has
handled her own affairs with much
shrewdness and good judgment, and
it has been said she has trebled the
money which came to her. At the
same time she has given many mil
lions to charitable, religious and pub
lic uses. Because of her many kind
deeds and generous philanthropies
Mrs. Shepard has been called "the best
known and best loved woman in
America."
