f for Call to Duty
' 'Already there is a hint of fall in the
air. The plumed heads of the golden
rod nod at ns from (he roadsides and
- the purplcasters like "a smoke upon
1 the hills" tell us more poignantly than
words of the approach of the season
of brilliant foliage and hazy skies.
Cooler breezes bring new zest and we
shake off the inertia of the summer
days and plunge into the duties which
claim us. glad to return to the work-a-day
world after a breathing space in
Vacation land. t
Even the spacious rooms at Red
, Cross headquarters have been de
serted for the past month while the
busy women who plied their needles
all winter were enjoying a well-earned
rest. With, the first of the fall
months, the clear bugle call of duty
will bring them back, more deter
mined than ever to accomplish great
things in this work of mercy.
A number of the Red Cross officials
.have spent the few weeks given them
at lakeside and mountain resorts.
Mrs. Luther Kountze and daughter.
. Gertrude, are at Lake Okoboji, that
popular Mecca for all Omahans. Mrs.
Walter silver nas Deen enjoying tne
bracing air of Colorado for her vaca
tion was spent in tstes park. Mrs,
F. W. Carmichael was also at the
park. Mrs. Lee Huff and Mrs. Frank
Ellick both sought the lakes for their
" holiday and Mrs. R. W. Zachary will
also be numbered among the travelers
returning.
Many workers have stayed at their
posts through the stifling heat. Airs.
A. L. Reed has been at her desk every
day. Mrs. George Prinz and Mrs. Lu
cien Stephens have "stayed on the
job," and Mrs. Howard Baldrige said
that she would take her vacation when
the kaiser took his, so that the ware
house has been the summer resort for
Mrs. Baldrige.
Unique Party for Soldiers.
A "backward" party will be given to
35 soldier boys Wednesday evening
at the Patriotic club rooms by the
W. D. T club. This club is only
about a month old, but it is one of
the most progressive and enterprising
of the patriotic clubs and the guests
may feel sure of everything from
soup to nuts or rather, from nuts to
soup, for all events will be turned
"hind side before."
There are 32 members of the W. D.
T. club, with Miss Theo Adams as
leader and Miss Emily Lear as presi
dent. Their first social meeting, held
last month, was in the form of a so
ciable, at which they cleared $45. This
money was devoted to purchasing raa
' terial which they are making up into
layettes for little war babies.
f Seek Occupations in War Time.
There seems to be no avenue of
occupation which is not open to am
bitious girls in war time. Miss Irene
Rosewater, daughter of Dr. and Mrs.
Charles Rosewater, is one of the late
recruits and is now employed in the
laboratories at Swift's. Miss Rose
water made a most enviable record
in the chemistry department at Smith
college, where she was graduated this
June.
Mrs. Ralph M. Rothschild, nee Miss
Ruth Arnstein, has returned from
Camp Dodge, where .her marriage
took place early in the summer. Mrs.
Rothschild has accepted, a position
of stenographer with the Guarantee
company.
Accepted for Service Abroad.
Miss Eva Renwick, superintendent
of the De Lee dispensary of Chicago,
has been accepted for- Red Cross
service in France.' Miss Renwick,

Patriotic Society Gives Flags.
Nebraska chapter, Colonial Dames
of America, has presented the 'Young
Women's Christian association,
through Mrs. Charles Offutt, state
chairman for the war fund campaign,
with two beautiful silk flags. They
will be mounted on standards and
placed in the two rooms being used
especially for the headquarters room
for war drive workers, and the Pa
triotic leagues' third floor club room.
The gift is especially acceptable to
the association at just this time, when
it frequently houses gatherings of
foreign women with whom the pledge
of allegiance to the flag is an im
pressive part of their meetings.

CHAPTER II.
The Birds to the Rescue.
(Lonesomt Bar, afUr gaining fall free
dom from Fete. his muter, through tha help
of Feggy, Is captured by tramp. Peggy try
ing to aid him li herself mad captive.)
PEGGY felt very small and weak
in the hands of the tramps. So
strong was the grip of the two men
upon her arms that it was useless to
struggle. .
Now she knew how Lonesome Bear
must; have felt when he was dragged
back into dancing slavery. Now she
knew how it was with the birds when
they were prisoners of the Giant of
the Woods. -
Lonesome Bear moaned continu
ously as he was pulled and prodded
along by Tags.
"My poor Princess Peggy, I am so
sorry I got you into trouble" he
wailed. "I'd rather Jive and die in
slavery than haveyou the prisoner of
these awful men!" '
General .Swallow, swooping back
and forth jus above the tree tops, was
shrieking a call to Birdland at the top
of his voice..
"Arousel Arouse, ye people of Bird
land 1" he shrilled. "Peggy, our Prin
cess is a captive! To the rescuel To
the rescuel"
The call echoed and re-echoed
through the woods as other birds
took it up.
"To the rescue! To the rescuel
Peggy, our princess is a captive."
Birds came flocking from all direc
tipns. Like people running to a, fire,
they dropped whatever they were do
ing when the alarm sounded.
"To the rescuel To the rescuel
Peggy, our princess is a captive 1"
New courage leaped into Peggy's
heart as she saw the birds answer to
the call. She had friends who would
fight for her; friends who would die
for her. This was no time tp despair;
rather it was a time to use her wits
and plan an escape. With so many
close at hand willing to risk anything
to help her there must be some way
out of her trouble.
But what could the birds do against
the tramps, particularly if the tramps
were armed. And they were armed
Peggy saw a pistol sticking from the
pocket of one of the men whom the
others called Hal the Fat. The birds
would be easy prey to men with
weapons.
The tramps thought so, too. Tags
looked up at the gathering cloud of
birds and grinned.
"Potpie for supper I" he shouted to
his companions, waving his stick to
ward the birds. They laughed and
Hal the Fat chanted:
Sing a aong of alx pence, pocket full of
rye.
Four and twenty blackbird baking In a pie.
When the pie waa opened, the birds began
to sing;
Wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the
'VOTPIE FOR SUPPER I"
SHOUTED TO HIS
COMPANIONS.
HE
my hands on the old shotgun they'll
do no more singing and we'll have
pie for a week," chortled the third
man, whose name was Laughing
Jake.
Peggy had a new anxiety now. The
birds might do something rash trying
to save her and the tramps might kill
them. If she could only cry out to
warn them. They must not sacrifice
themselves for her.
The gag in her mouth made it very
hard to breathe and soon Peggy was
in distress. Laughing Jake noticed
this and swung her up to hiseBhoulder.
That tnade it a little easier for her,
but she found it was not nearly so
nice riding on his shoulder as a cap
tive as it was to ride in fun. on the
shoulder of her father or of the Giant
of the Woods.
After a while they came to-denser
woods, and Peggy lost sight of the
Birds, although she could hear their
loud calls from the treetops. The
tramps forced their way through the
thick underbrush and came out upon
a small clearing at the edge of the
nver. Here was their camp.
In the center stood a rude hut or
wigwam made of poles and branches
of trees. In front of it smoldered a
fire.. Near the river bank two more
tramps were nailing heavy slats on
the side of a dry goods box.
"Hello. Raggedy Jim and Bertie
the Boozer, have you got the chicken
I coop ready?" called out one. of Peg-
; gy s captors. Here s a nice young
chicken to lock up in it.
Raggedy Jim and Bertie the Boozer
looked up in surprise. Then they
sprang to their feet.
"What's this? Where did you get
that girl?" shouted Raggedy Jim,, who
was the youngest of all the tramps.
"We'll not stand for any kidnaping
stunts," mumbled Bertie the Boozer.
"Nothing like that. We'll tell you
about it later," answered Laughing
Jake, swinging Peggy to the ground.
At .that moment there came a shrill
call from the woods. "Charge to the
rescuel To the rescue of Peggy, our
Princess!"
Instantly the clearing was filled
with Birds. They attacked the tramps
with wild fury. The tramps fought
back, lashing at the feathered war
riors with flying aVms. Peggy felt
herself picked up and thrust into the
coop. A big padlock was snapped
upon the door. Then she heard
Laughing Jake shout:
I'll get my gun! Potpie for supper!"
Peggy knew the Birds stood no
chance. They couldn't'get her out of
the cage and they would be mowed
down by the shotgun. She tore the
gag from her rrtouth and shouted with
all her might:
"Fly for your lives, my Birds!
They've got a gun! You can't save me
this way!1-Fly, fly, fly! Pegy? your
Princess, commands you! Fly I"
At once the Birds obeyed. As sud
denl as they had come they disap
peared. Peggy found herself alone
with the five tramps alone except
for Lonesome Bear, and he was
chained fast to a stake at the opposite
side of the clearing.
(Tomorrow will be told how the bird
and Billy Belgium try a different way to
rescue Pegfry.)

Of a surety life holds a few joys
when these "dog-days" of August
strike terror to our hearts 1 At least it
does for the shopping reporter, whose
privilege it is to view beautiful things
just as they, are taken from their tis
sue wrappings. '
In fact the charm of the new fash
ions for fall and winter cast such a
spell over me yesterday afternoon,
that in my interest I quite forgot
that the thermometer registered a
hundred in the shade, and it was only
the ding-donging of the bell in the
big department store, where I was
being so delightfully entertained by
two of the clever buyers, that brought
me to the realization that it was a
hot day, and the early closing hot
of five.
"Of course Paris is not sending over
the amount of things that she former
ly did," remarked one of these buyers,
as she showed me some very lovely
frocks of satin and serge,, "but she
certainly has put her whole soul in
the designing of styles they are ab
solutely different! charming 1"
There was one Jeanne Lanvin frock
of navy tricotine that she produced
for my inspection, wiith which I im
mediately fell in love. "Delightfully
juvenescent isn't it?" she enthused.
"iSiote these simple lines so charac
teristic of Lanvin! this Russian
blouse front I -and the petal-like folds
of the material which form the collar 1"
certainly caught her enthusiasm:
it was so youthful in it's charm.
Then there was an afternoon frock
by Jenny, that I declare was a beauty.
Numerous rows of fine, tailored braid
on the little apron sides of the blue
serge portion, were topped by an over
basque (Oh! my yes ''basques" are
with. us again!) of black satin, which
had a perfect regiment of tiny buttons
marching in soldierly precision down
the front.
