Mrs. Arthur Crittenden Smith, Nebraska chairman, for the American committee for devastated France and the committee are de vising ways and means to raise large sums for the reconstruction work in the desolated country of our al lies.

It hns often been said that it is the affairs which are planned on the "spur of the moment," 'that are the most enjoyable and the little dance given for the Camp Grant men at the Fontenelle Friday evening, was no exception to this rule. Some one waved a magic wand, and lo, a bevy of pretty girls in the filmiest of evening gowns suddenly appeared and a host of khaki clad men. With the, aid of a few jazzy tunes and some charming matrons as hostesses it was one of the nicest affairs given in many a long day. A large num ber of the officers and flying cadets from Fort Omaha were present and several of the officers' wives, so that it was military in every detail. A garage dance is a little unusual 'and a bit unique, but the officers at Fort Omaha were hosts Satur day evening at an affair of this kind. Gorgeous autumn flowers and leaves made a most effective setting for the dainty evening gowns of the girls arid with the army set from both posts it was a very attractive affair. The flvinsr cadets made merry the ." same evening at Harte hall in Dun dee when 40 of the younger girls ' ' were their guests at a dancing party. .. Concert Parties.

Shapes have been changed and expensive beaver or felt hats of ancient patterns modernized and brought up to the very last minute. An accurate account of cost has been kept, and this and style, with neatness of workmanship are the main points on which the girls were graded. There were seven points, and the highest mark in each of them was A. Ten girls received an A in every point, Iva Christiansen, Mary Johnson, Catherine Leary, Edythe Burghardt, Louise McEwan, Madeline Johnston, Thelma War ren, Virginia White, Helen Winkel man and Ruth Pinrcy. Of these Virginia White had one of the very prettiest hats, and the cheapest. It was a made-over beaver and the entire cost of re modeling was $3.38. The cheapest hat of all was a beaver made over by Emma Edquist into a very charming school hat at a total cost of $2.07. The class was "lots of fun" and the girls believe it will be of real benefit, as they are now able to get a stylish and becoming hat out of old summer hats, pieces of old gowns and trimmings, or anything else they happen to have on hand. This is the first year for the mil linery class. ' It was an exception ally good year to start, as everyone was seeking new methods ot con servation, but plans are to continue the class in future years. ' Is .This Your Waterloo. Why tomato soup turdles, how-to prepare it so as to avoid this: The first thing , to be sure of in making a good soup is to remember that when planning to use milk or cream in the soup first neutralize the tomatoes by adding soda. The soda added to the acid causes efferves cence. This change is similar to that which takes place when combining soda with sour milk. If it is desired to make a thick ened cream of tomato soup, heat to- j matoes, using either whole or ! canned. Rub through a sieve, put ; back on stove, add soda and sweet ening, using about one-half tea spoon soda to one quart of tomatoes. When the effervescing or foaming stops the liquid is Mieutral and will not curdle when the milk or cream is added. Thicken as desired! . I . t .
