4-B THE BEE: OMAHA, SUNDAY, JULY 17, 1921. Council Bluffs Society Reception. An informal reception was held Tuesday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hazelton on Oakland avenue, the event being, the 70th birthdav of Mr. Hazelton. About 100 friends of this couple called dur- ' ing the evening, and one of the en joyable features was a short musical program, to which - Miss Edith Flickenger eontributed a group of songs. This is the first time Miss Flickenger has been heard in Coun cil Bluffs for several years, and her friends predict a great future for this gifted artist, who is here from New York, spending the summer with her mother and sister. Miss Mickenger was ably accompanied by Albert Beck. In London. On June 23, according to letters received by Council Bluffs people, Messrs. and Mesdames Thomas Green, William Coppock and Leon I.afferty were registered at the Hotel Cecil, in Lcfldon. This is a wonderful hotel, located near the Thames, and during the war was taken over by the government as headquarters for the aeroplane division. A neffort was made by the Germans to bomb it, but without success. Dinner. A delightfully arranged dinner of 16 covers was eiven I uesday eve ning by Miss Rosanna Reed at their home on McPherson avenue. The table, with it's centerpiece of summer flowers, was placed on the screened porch and after dinner the evening was spent on the attractive lawn of the Keed Home. At the Country Club. William Coooock celebrated 4iis 16th birthday at the Country club Tuesday evening, where a dinner was rtven in his honor by Mr. ana Mrs. W. L. Douglas, at whose home he is staying while his parents are m Europe. Places were arranged for Mr. and Mrs. Douglas, the Misses Helen and Josephine Spindler, Elizabeth Doug las, Messrs William and John Cop pock. George Borglum of Omaha and Wilson Douglas. Others who made reservation for the dinner dance that evening were W. H. Maurer, Edson Damon, Dr. A. V. Hennesy, J. J. Keliher and Mr. Walker. Lake .Manawa. From different "summer resorts" throughout the country have come weather reports which make Council Bluffs people, who have planned to remain at home for the heated sea son, feel how lucky they are to be so happily situated near modest little Lake Manawa, which up until now has never made any claims to resort honors, or expensively advertised it self in the various popular periodi cals. ' 1 At one spot, in northern Wiscon sin, which always has been consid ered an ideal place to go, the ther mometer for the past week regis tered 104 almost every day. In Min nesota, esoeciallv ud north of Min neapolis, travelers are always urgea to take along a few heavy coats and ether warm clothes for comfort at night, but this summer people are writing home of the "sweltering heat." These, and, other tales of woe, are being received almost daily by Council Bluffs citizens, who, while not particularly comfortable these July days, can, in a very few minutes' time, with practically no expense, find themselves at Manawa, where every form of amusement is to be had, . including dancing, boat ing, swimmimng, tennis or golf, and where one is sure to find a nice cool breeze from the lake. Members of the Countrv club are especially for tunate in that sleeping accommoda tions and good meals are furnisjjed, so with no depression in the family exchequer and with the mercury considerably lower than at a great many of the famous summer resorts, it really isn't such a hardship to re main at Home, Sweet Home. Birthday Party. In honor of the seventh birthday of her son, Frederic, Mrs. Fred D. Empkie invited 16 of his little friends to their summer home at Manawa last Wednesday. Games on the lawn of a lake-front cottage were quite a novelty to the "tip-town" children, -and late in the afternoon the event was further celebrated with a an die lighted birthday cake, and other things which youngsters enjoy.

The Parasol. Take the living room lamp shade, be it ever so elaborate, mount it on a handle and behold one of the new summer parasols. Never have sun shades been so ornate. And in truth they do resemble the parlor lamp shade. , . . One, of a bright rose hue which is on display for summer wear, 'was made of shirred silk, the shirring be ing held in place where the silk is attached to the rib. Another had an overdrape much as the skirts are draped. Many of the new parasols are shown in the new jade green, which promises to be used much this summer, a welcome note, since green always appears so cool and refreshing. ' tSifi' N fit i? I Sand In a "Bad . Man's Eye." By ROBERTA STEELL HYDE. A bit of Nebraska sand blew into a "bad man's eye" one day. At once he imagined Nebraska "wind swept and prosaic" and passed the slogan along. A grain of sand had distorted his vision. He missed the picture of our rich rolling prairies in the early springtime covered with that divine color scheme in green that no hu man artist has ever been able to reproduce. He did not see the fields in June, purple and gold with alfalfa bloom and ripening grain; wild roses and daisies forming a mosaic of exqui site delicacy along the roadside. He never watched the hundreds upon hundreds of cattle browsing peacefully upon the luxuriant grass, or wandering contentedly in cool shallow streams. He never thrilled at the whistle of the Cardinal in sthe early morn ing, nor felt quickening heartbeats at the whir of wings and the glimpse of brilliant red flashing across the sky. He never watched that animated bit of sunshine the oriole flood ing tne weDrasKa arr witn a snower of golden notes, nor the friendly lit tie rose-breaster grosbeak swinging on a branch so near that one could almost touch him, while the tiny throat pulsates with melody and the ecstacy of living. Ht never stood facing the west with the si:n sinking slowly to rest behind the bluffs, the sky a gor geous kaleidoscope of orange and crimson changing swiftly into forms and colors of indescribable beauty. He did not see the myriad shades of color soften into a roseate glow on the bluff heights, and then grow paler and paler until lost in an opalescent sky, while the meadow lark's evening song, and the versa tile thrush's varying notes fill the air with an aching sweetness. He did not watch the violet shades J He did not watch the violet shad ows nestle in the deep ravines as the birds give ,their last sleepy twitter; the rose-breasted grosbeak swinging over all. He never looked at the endless shocks of grain in a silver sheen of moonlight standing like a huge army of sentinels guarding the treas ure of the soil. He did not drink in the dewy night fragrances of earth and bloom ing things; . did not hear a rabbit scurrying in frightened haste, the chirruping of insects and all of the sweet innumerable sounds of life as they blend in harmonious confu sion; playing melodies on the heart strings. He did not feel welling within his soul a paean of reverence and thanks giving tor the mystical sublimity of nature. As for being prosaic Nebraska is a gold mine of Indian lore, ro mance and adventure. Under her mantle of prosperity hearts are beating that are loyal and brave, hearts that suffer and strug gle, overcome and attain, hearts of sympathy and understanding. "Wind Swept and Prosiac!" Mr. "Bad Man," wash the sand from your eye, and look again. You will find it quite worth while.. What's What By HELEN DECIE Men and women especially wo men appear to think that if they rig themselves up in the care-free easy garb of the sort which must be worn by actual competitors in athletic tournaments, they are point device for all outdor occasions. That is why we so often behold the in congruous spectacle of golf clothes, tennis clothes, boating - clothes everything but swimming clothes worn by people who do nothing more athletic than shopping or of fice work. As a matter of correctness, even spectators at outdoor sporting events should not wear sports cos tumes. When the big league nines meet on their happy . hunting grounds the fans do not appear in base ball uniforms, nor are the men at a race meet attired like jockeys. Si. Cits clothes have many con venient uses, for camping, hiking, etc., but the spectator at a tennis tournament, for example, should be careful to wear styles distinctly dif ferent from the knockabout cos tumes of the players.

Now that vacation has. come every girl and woman will be glad of a few suggestions that will help them to pack delicate frocks and blouses in such a wav that they will come out unwrinkled at the end of a journey. Trunks these days are wonderfully built, and if yours has several trays packing is not so dimcult; out even then vou must take care to have everything smooth and tight If you have many books to pacK it is a eood olan to have a tatse Dottom made to fit the trunk. When that has Keen filled with books it can be securely strapped down to the bot tom by straps nailed in place, or you can use a heavy pasteboard dox mat fits the bottom of the trunk. In case vou wish to oack only one or two looks fasten with rubber tapes along the inside of the trunk and slip the books into them. Books placed loose ly will slide about and disarrange lighter articles. If there is but one tray, use pack ing boxes for the clothes. If you pack the garments smooth and tight a small space will hold a good many. Choose boxes that fit well together. Use long boxes for skirts and the dresses and fasten bits ot muslin in side each box at both ends. Then pin the garments to the strips of muslin with safety pins and tie the box lids on with tape. Smaller boxes may be used for shirtwaists and collars and other neckwear may be packed in cnvelooes and placed in the box with waists. Shoes also should be placed in boxes. That is a good way when you in tend to make frequent short stops on the way, Mr unpacking will be easy, since the boxes can be removed with out disturbing the rest of the con tents of the trunk. Packing boxes are useful for skirts and dresses. They may be either light wooden boards or . pieces of heavy cardboard cut to the size of the trays. Cover them with some light colored material and fasten tapes at intervals along the edges. Lay a skirt or a dress on one of the boards and tie it in place with the tapes. To make it more secure put a safety pin through the tape and a bit of the garment. If you are short of closet room in the house in which you are a guest prop the boards against the walls and keep the skirts or the dresses on them. In that case covers should be made that will-slip over the packing boards. The secret of packing a trunk, no matter what system is followed, is to have everything as smooth and as tight as possible, and so fastened in place that it cannot sup wnen tne trunk is handled roughly or set on end. .

Most housekeepers throw away some small bits of bread which could be converted into crumbs that would help to make other articles of food, appetizing.' The small pieces not suitable for toast or the odd bis cuit or two left from breakfast should be dried out thoroughly in the oven and grated on a coarse grater or rolled or ground until fine. They may then be added to the bowl or jar kept on hand for receiving bread crumbs. For breading cro quettes, cutlets or oysters the crumbs should, be sifted and the finer ones used. The coarse ones can be used for scalloped oysters, bread pudding or stuffing. While the designation au gratin is often given to things cooked with cheese, it refers more directly to things cooked with brown bread crumbs. Macaroni, potatoes or rice may be made delicious when first boiled until done and then baked with melted cheese and butter poured over them and topped with a layer of brown bread crumbs. . offered by The Bee in the Intelligence Questionnaire can be won by you through using THE ENCYCLOPEDIA AMERICANA, but that would be , a small part of the benefit you would derive from its use. 0 is a great national reference work for AMERICANS from an AMERICAN standpoint.

(TnlverMl grrtlr Staff ComapoBdent.) Paris, July 11. (By Mail.) With the gay season at Paris at its height, the boulevards, the smart cafes and the race meets where the fashion ables gather resemble scenes of the South American tropics, where birds of every description present rivalry in exquisite coloring and beauty. The predominating note in Paris lan aress is teatners. livery wo man who considers herself at all chic appears with some kind of feathery adornment. It would stag ger the imagination to attempt a count of the vast number of beauti ful birds that have contributed to this season's smart attire in the French capital. Hats for day wear, made of black satin and lace or tulle, bear the most costly feather trimming. The most popular of these are trimmed with tiny sprays of paradise feathers ar ranged about the brim of the hat. Other hats, somewhat larger in size, are fairly covered with large clus ters of these fine and most expen sive feathers. A single stiff quill, set jauntily through the rolling brim of a close fitting round hat, made its appear ance this week. As .black and white are the two most popular col ors in Paris this season, a white felt hat is considered smartest with a black auill. But the greatest display of feath ers is to be seen' with evening dress. Some marvelous headdresses are worn by the fashionables. At one of the smart restaurants last night one of these was worn by a woman gowned m black and gold cloth. Her headdress comprised a gold band studded with jewels, and from this waved two black ostrich plumes, about six inches high. The curled ends drooped a bit over the forehead. At a smart charity affair the other evening, a beautiful french woman wearing a gown of shell pink and sea green silk and tulle wore a cluster of soft curled feathers, match ing in color the gown. These were caught in a narrow black velvet head band, and covered the left side of the head, reaching to just beneath the chin. In a variety of ways smaller feathers are arranged for the hair. The most popular pi these, of course. have been the feather combs, lhese come in all delicate colors to match the gown worn. The whole back of the comb, showing from the hair, is covered with these tiny pin point feathers. As Paris is fickle about her fash ions, switching trom one moae to another, as soon as a thing threatens to become too generally popular, the feather comb's are giving way to the handsome tortoise shell model. These are marvels in workmanship and size. Some are as large as eight inches wide at the top and 10 inches in length. One mav obtain one of the large and beautiful ones for $125 and smaller ones around $50. They are worn in Spanish fashion at the side of the head. Thev produce a most artistic effect when worn with the present style of evening hair- Tl (.Copyright, HIXENBAUGH & CO. Phone JAckson 3297 r W. A.

Even evening shoes have not es caped this fad, for instead of buckles or jewels, slippers are covered with these same tiny feathers of the same shade of color corresponding to the gown. A woman well known for her nu merous and expensive gowns, ap peared at a fashionable cafe in the Bois wearing a magnificent head dress of paradise feathers. They were the natural canary color, shad ing into almost white, the heads of the beautiful birds being a soft, to bacco color brown. She wore this much in the fashion of the late Gaby Delys, only, as she explained, Gaby had only seven, while she wore 12. This wonderful head-dress, worn with a gold cloth gown, and a $50,000 sable coat, lined with gold-colored silk, created a sensation, and this is not easily done in Paris, accustomed as Paris is to costly and beautifut toilettes. Well known American dressmakers and milliners who have been in Paris for the season are loath to advance an opinion of the possible styles they will take home with them later for autumn and winter wear. Only one thing, they are quite cer tain and that is, that feathers will play a big part in the dress of women during the coming season. Of course, some of the beautiful feathers worn in Paris would be prohibited by law to adorn the dress of Amer ican women, but an American milli ner in Paris said excellent results I -The Diamond You Do Not Wear- r Is a Sinful Waste of Beauty n I M CCH wast of bet my and diamond wlucn lent worn mounting.
