As a result of co-operation be
tween college of agriculture exten

University Place;-several ladies' aid
societies in Nebraska will begin def
inite yearly programs of study m

out a series of 12 suggestive out
lines and lessons for rural wohien.
One subject , is lis. 1 " for each
month, an outline provided for the
leaders, and lessons sent that1 give
helpful information and suggestions
for the members. .
Emma Reed Davidson, leader
for the women's extension Service,
who has the interest of rural wom
en's groups close at heart, set to
work, together with-her assistants,
to compile outlineY and lessons ac
cording to the topics selected. The
following are the monthly subjects
which were chosen:
October Home Making a Profes
sion. November Music, Reading and
Pictures in the Home.
December Hot Lunches for the
Rural School.
January Labor Saving Devices.
February Home sanitation.
March Clothing; Selection
Clothing. '
April Color in Clothing.
May Food and Its Relation

June Feeding of Children.
July Suggestions for Picnics.
August Equipment for Home
(lames. v
September My Kitchen,
An outline and subject, matter
sheet is compiled for each , month-.
The outline is for the use of the
leader and the subject "matter sheet
to be giyen to each woman present.
This material for the October les
son "Home Making a Profession,"
Kis gone out to clubs over the state
and those for November are in' the
course of preparation.
The outlines are divided into two
parts the first part being devoted
to some home economic topic and
the. second entirely -to recreation.
The October outline, "Home Mak
ing a Profession," has the following
main headings: Definition distinc
tion between a "home" and a
"house." Nobility of home making.
What a home should stand for. The
relation of the individual home to
the community. Ideals in establish
ing a home. Qualifications for the
of
to
idea! home maker. Value of home.
Subject Matter Sheets.
The subject matter sheets give
brief suggestions- and develop the
outline. A sample of what they
contain is given in the following
quotation from the heading "Ideals
in establishing H home," in the Oc
tober outline on "Home Making a
Profession:"
"There are certain ideals which all
home makers should have clearly in
mind." '
"Simplicity ' is one of these not
living ybyond 6ne's means sim
plicity in entertaining, simple fur
nishing simple, healthful food,
simple yet beautiful clothing, ,U
these help to simplify life and give
the homemaker more time for her
family and hef own recreation,
"Harmony is another quality to be
desired in every home. Thoughtful
ness, kindness, humility and ability
to forgive other members of the
family, should be constantly upper
most in the minds of the parents.
"Cleanliness and order, should be
fixed ideals in ever home. Cleanli
ness in handling and preparing food,
in the care of clothing, in the care
of rooms and furnishings. : -Upon
orderliness depends much of the
pleasure of the family. 'A time and
a place for everything' will do away
with the disorder and confusion
common in so many homes.
'Character building should be the
aim of home making. This aim can
not be achieved" if more thought is
given to the care of the house or of
tiie live stock than to the physical,
spiritual and mental development of
the children." '
Three circulars or outlines have
been issued on the care of children.
They are entitled, "Feeding the
Children," "Care and Feeding of
Children," and "Mother and Babv."
The one on feeding of children, for
instance,' takes up in a rather
elaborate manner the feeding of
children each vear up to the seventh
year. Menus and recipes are given
ai consioerame lengtn.

fluenza epidemic. This play will be
presented for the first time to an
Omaha audience by Miss McHugh.
Miss McHugh has long been recog

As an educator and teacher -of lit

influence upon the youth of the city.

" Sale of Art Treasures.-
When Evert Jansen Wendell died,
August 28, 1917, America lost a
lover of art in its most delightful
forms, and Harvard university lost
a most enthusiastic supporter and
loyal' "alumnus. ' Mr. Wendell, who
was known all over the country as
a devoted collector of books, prints,
pictures and- memorabilia, left many
thousand items, from among which
Harvard university, tjnder his will,
was permitted to select such literary
and artistic properties as it might
wish. The balance was ordered sold
and the net proceeds turned over
to the University.
Accordingly, 8,212 catalogue num
bers will be sold at unrestricted
public sale by order of Mr. Wen
dell's executors and under the man
agement of the American Art asso
ciation, between October IS' and 25,
at Madison Square South, New
York City,
His love of art was not confined
to the variety one finds in the frame,
but extended to that greater field
humanity itself. A sidelight on this
man, born, as it were, in the lap of
luxury, given us by Langdon Par
ker Marvin, shows something of his
really great creative work among
boys. i,
"His interest in, them never failed
or flagged. He knew in person lit
erally thousands of boys in New
York City and elsewhere. They
used to come in drovs Jo his house
on Thirty-eighth street, beginning
early in the morning, for advice,
help and comfort, and Mr. Wendell
never failed them. It was impos
sible' for him to walk a block in the
city of New York without being
frequently greeted by boys of all
kinds. Ateast once a.year he used
to take a selected, group of" 30 or
40, bo$s out to the farms of Texas
and other western states,, where he
would place them in farmers' fam
ilies, and at the same time he would
make a point of visiting his old boys
and inquiring as to their welfare.
He received yearly thousands of
letters from these boys, who are
scattered all over the world. - His
influence and the results of his work
among the boys of America are ,of
incalculable value '. to the nation.
America owes to Evert Wendell a
debt of gratitude for the saving of
manv thousand nf nspfnl citizens
and for a splendid example of server
ice to others.

FAULTLESS
The Kiss That I
Forgot '
gy Samuel Minturn Peck.
I'm sorry for the many things
Unkind that I have done;
Each day new aches my memory
brings
By starlight and by sun. . '
Ah, could I 'live again my years '
' 'T would be the' dearest bliss
From eyes I loved the falling tears
To wipe, and tell them this..
i
But, oh, the. things I did not do
That easily I might
They haunt me, yes, they haunt
me, too,
iFron- morning until night;
Ana, in the dark, wet-eyed, I sigh,
Yet naught can white the blot '
I cannot give, until I die,
The kiss that I forgot.
From the Boston Tramcrlpt. '

Fashion Dispatch
vSt. Louis, Oct. 4. (Special Dis
patch to The Bee.) Among the first
offerings at the Funston - Bros. &
Co., fall auction today was silver
fox, which has advanced 75 per
cent. '
The high price, for silver fox was
$810, brought by a fine, fresh, half
dark skin. Dark silvery pelts were
the most in demand,i and brought
$583 to $595. A black silvery- skin
fetched $740, two silvery pelts
brought $655, and other prices were
$545, $625 and as low as $a00 for the
finer skins.
A silver fox breeder and dealer
says a large portion of the silver
fox offering were foxes raised on
ranches. He claims prices realized
at this and the last few sales dis
prove the claim that . wild fox
skins generally are of better quality
than domesticated foxes. He claims
the highest prices of last few ,sales
were paid for skins of domes
ticated foxes, and says silver
fox prices are now only where they
ought to be, inasmuch' aas breeders
were compelled to sell skins at
saciificeduring the war to keep their'
business solvent, and also .because a
certain percentage of, foxes each
become too old and probably di
in the summer, when fur is less val
uable, unless killed. Silver fox
brought $2,800 at the London sale a
few years ago, but that was due to
quantities in which silvers were
raised. This price (even for an ex
ceptional skin probably never again,
will be reached, He said domesti
cated fcxes are of dark colors, and
run more eve'n ia color than wild ,
fos. .
