’ Mrs. Jo Society to Spend Summer at Hom?_apd Enjoy Clubs Prospects have never been brighter for Omaha's country clubs than they are this season; In fact, not since the year the Coun- try club was opencd has soclety manifested #uch interest or planned to enjoy its privileges as it is doing this spring. And there Is good reason for this. Scores of people ars buflding this year or have re- cently completed new homes and they will remain In town to superintend construction or enjoy the reward of recent vexations. This 18 one reason tkat so many have taken thelr vacations early this season, al- thorgh many Omahans, espeelally thos» who have summer places near by, prefer doing thefr traveling in the winter or du ing Lent and remalning at home durin the heated term. Stveral' members of the dcbutante and younger sets who usually go to the lakes will be at home this season and the clubs will be the more attractive for the presence of these young peopie, who contrib much to socle!

C. IRLS who complain that their hands always look dirty should inspect the inside of thelr gloves, for if the latter are pulled on when the hands are not entirely clean and the kid becomes soiled, every timo the gloves are worn afterward they rub dirt on the skin. So care should be taken to prevent this, or if such con- dition exists the gloves must either be cleansed professionally or not worn again. In cold weather some preparation to rub on the skin each time the hands are wasted should be kept on the dressing table, for a low temperature has the effect of drying the skin, and it there is the least hardness in the water the roughness is intensified im- measurably. Of using a mixture of glycerine and rose water, or glycerine and even plain water, T am a strong advocate. The proportion for either is one-third glycerine to two-thirds water, plain or pertumed, ten drops of carbolic acld being added to a_half pint of the mix- ture. This acld is healing. The prep- ration is wiped over the hands after they have been washed and dried, and any excess of the lotion Is wipsd off. i It will refine the skin if used regu- || rany. Reed, McCutcheon, H. F.

I Woman’s Work While the complete biennial convention of the General Feder- ation of Women's Clubs, to be held in Cin- program of the cinnati, May 10 to 15, has not yet been glven out, several sections have been an- nounced and they give assurance that the program will be of the highest order. | Among the speakers will be men and women of national reputation, including Gifford Pinchot, recently at the head of the United States forestry bureau; Dr. Wiley, at the head cf the government's bureau of chemistry; Dr. Luther Gulick, Prof. McFarland, Dana Bartlett, Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker, Dr. Davidson, Bliss Perry, Dr. Willlam-H.

Moore, the present Incumbent, will have presented a resume of the fed- eration's work during the last twenty Years, a presentation of its present work and of ita plans for the future. Mrs Sarah Platt Decker will speak for the | tuture. So admirably has Mrs. Philip N. Mvore of 8t. Louls filled the office of president that there has been little talk of any other candidate for that office. Miss Georgla Soiled Gloves Injure Bacon of Massachusetts is one of the recognized strong women, who has hosts of friends In the west as well as In the east, and, while there is practieally no chance of her accepting the nomination | this year, she is the most talked of candl- date when Mrs. Moore's term expires in | 1912, | Another blg woman's convention of the #pring will be the annual meeting of the American Woman Suffrage assoclation, to be held at Washington, D.

All| Any kind of cold ecream—indced, gret of any sort—will have a bene- ficlal effect, the object being to sup- ply the ofls that cold and water ex- tract. Wearing gloves at night s one of the best means of softening and whitening the hands, care being taken that the gloves are large enough not to interfers with circulation, and holes punched through the palms will admit alr and make the hands more com- fortable. The gloves should be white or gray, as a dark color may be In- Jurious. There is no simpler and at the same time better method for healing and whitening chapped hands than the ap- plication of sweet almond ofl and pow- dered magnesia or French chalk be- fore retiring. After washing and wiping the fin- gers thoroughly they should be soaked in warm almond ofl for five minutes. The larger quantity of the ofl is gently patted off, leaving an apprecia- ble amount. The hands are then dipped into the white powder and later large gloves are drawn on. This method repeated nightly for a week will cure obstinate cases of chapping. Glycerine and rose water should be used throughout the day after washing the hands when they chap easily. these women have had a conspleuous part in the suffrage work in thelr respective parts of the country. Mrs. Raymond Rob- bins will preside during the industrial ses- | sion and Mr. Robbins and Mrs. Florence | Kelly of New York will be among the speakers.

This year the league has taken the history of Nebraska for its general theme and all stories told must be based upon this' history. Inci- dents, legends or people who have con- tributed to Nebraska's history may be used In the storles. The league was entertained Thursday evening at the home of Mrs. C. W. Pol- lard.

The dress, which has now become fa- mous, Is the color of the cock's comb—a light scarlet according to some authorities, and a bright cherry, according to others. It is made of satin, with a scant plain skirt having a short train. There Is an overskirt three-quarter length on one side and one-half length on the other, made from black net finished with wide black lace. The girdle of the gown is of satin, nine Inches wide, smooth and embrotdered across the front with three black cocks, The yoke of the dress, which is low neck, is of black tucked net over white lace.

His wings are outspread and his tall flaunts aggressively backward as he rests on the edge of the crown. SUPPORT . HOME INDUSTRIES Women of Wealth A Wilson in Establ American Spices. t Secretary ing is one of the he movement Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay women who are joining In to support “home industries” in the agri- cultural lire, which Secretary of Agricul- ture Wilson has been at such pains to foster. As @ general rule, only American- grown products are found in the Mackay household. Mr. Wilson set the ball rolling by seriding around to women who are large entertainers and who he thought might be interested, sample packages of pepper, paprika and other spices which were grown in this country, with the suggestion they be given a trial, in comparison with the stock importations from the east. The secretary of agriculture sees wide op- portunities open to American farmers in the growing of spices, for sclentific ex- periment has shown that practically any plant can be grown on ti continent by the employment of the newest methods of agriculture, properly applied to special cases. The American spices are found to be tully equal to those of Java and the West Indies in flavor, and the women whom Mr. Wilson has succeeded in interesting in his scheme are now at work spreading the news to create a market sufficiently wide to encourage the efforts of the American farmer in this new direction. METAL DESK SETS POPULAR Silver, Brass and Copper Used in Large and Ornate De- signs. Large and ornate are the new desk sets for women and men. For the latter they are elaboraely executed and of bright ma- terials that a few years ago would have been considered unsuitable. A combination of metals, or metal and glass, is the characteristic of these new designs. One beautiful desk equipment for a library seen recently was of green shaded glass overset with a fillgree of brass So fine it looks like gold. Most of the work is done by hand, and so the cost is considerable. Rarely does one see a small set for what was known a few years ago as a “lady's" derk. “'Writing” and kidney shaped tables having taken the place to a large extent of the sloping top desks formerly affected, &reater space is given for display, and cer tainly it {s utilized more. Inkwells are “well" indeed, the smallcst holding at least a gill of liquid. In many sets there are two pots, they being on a tray of notice- ably large dimensions, which serves also to hold pens. As a rule there seems to be a preference for square rather than round effects, the corners of all the articles shown following the same angles. A lacquered brass, entirely plain, but ex- tremely large, {s shown among the newest sets. Brass. Indeed, is the favorite metal, although for men's business desks there are some striking effects in copper, hand wrought A serviceable and artistic design is plain, highly polished brass with inlay of copper, the two metals combining admirably. All metal sets have the advantage of not stain- ing with ink which falls, and are easily cleaned. Leather throughout a set has almost en- tirely disappeared. Except In portfolios and corners done for pads; sliver, too, 1s passe, perhaps because the size of the articies makes the price almost prohibi- tive. It an entire set is purchased the cost | amounts to an extraordinary sum, for the articles are many. They Include an ink well, desk blotter and pen tray, a hand blotter, stamp box, clip or case for letters, a paper knife, letter opener, pen and penell, as well as a case for holding paper and en- velopes. Not infrequently clocks are mounted to match. The first three articles, however, may be called a set, and given as a present. ENIOY FAT OF THE LAND| |Bunch of nots Farmers Worth Elghteen Million Dollars Sit Up to a Banduet. “The hog is a sympathetic animal. It is susceptible to kindly treatment and grow fatter In pleasant surroundings.” This statement was made at Joliet, TIL., by Howard Francls, a New Lennox town- ship breeder of swine, at a farmers' ban- | Quet, at Joliet, March 1, sald to be the first atfair of the kind ever held in the United States. Mr. Franels responded to the toast, “The Hog." “It has generally been supposed,” he con- tinued, “that almost any old place was | g00d enough for a hog, but in years of ex- | perience I have found that good, clean | quarters are as much appreciated by the |hog as by any other animal and that it thrives under kindly treatment. This helps In a material way, because the animal &Tows fatter as a result. | “Hogs, like people, are of differnt dis- position. Gentle tdeatment, . especially when they are young, produces almost incredible benefits. It is & fact, too, that when they are well taken care of they will spend most of thelr time sleeping, which also Is fat producing.” The farmers left their farms to the care | | High school of hired men and came to the penitentiai city to discuss means of raising 200 bushels of corn to the acre. | From every township In the county thy came—stock farmers, grain farmers, ga den farmers, city farmes, dairymen, legal farmers, and every kind of farmer that is | known. | Much mystery attended the afafir, the | object remaining a secret, practically, until the announcement was made that the prin- cipal purpose was to arouse Increased in- terest in the production of corn by offering a prize of $500 for the first 200 bushels of corn raised on an acre of land In Will county. Other folks are holding banquets, the law- ‘ers, business men, physicians, etc, why not the farmers? was the inspiration of the promoters, headed by James Patterson of Wheatland plowing match fame, “Uncle Jim" as he is familiarly called. This ban- quet differed from the others, however, In that wives and daughters were included. It was held in the new Joliet National bank bullding. Every topic was discussed from the high cost of living to culture in the home and how to ralse hogs for market. The pro- gram lasted the greater part of the after- noon. More than 650 pesons participate including 450 actual farmers, who are 1a to represent average wealth of $40,000, or a total of $18,000,000.—Chicago Tribune. Princess Ilips. Pretty princess slips are seen in the stores, both in white and dainty colorings such as pink, blue, wistaria, etc., at such | moderate prices that the possession of them should be within the purchasing limit of the average woman. For $1.25 there are a varlety of models to choose from. Some are finished on the bottom with lace trimmed ruffles, others display button holed flounces, beading, In- sertion, etc., while all are lace trimmed at the top, the whole garment being dainty, At $1 there are plain slips; these a person could decorate to suit individual tastes. To Prevent Moth. To prevent the inroads of moths, which often attack the felt which surrounds the notes at the back of the keyboard of a plano, tle small bags of camphor into the corners of the Instrument. The boara in front should be removed occasionally and the felt examined, as great damage can be done once the moths attack the felt.

MANILA, March 18.—The military inquest into the death of Lieutenant Clarence M. Janney developed the fact that a silver champagne cooler was the cause of the tical quarrel which led the lieutenant to kill himself. The cooler originally belonged to the lieu. tenant, and, according to the testimony taken, was glven by Mrs. Janney to Lieu- tenant Colonel Robert F. Ames. When the leutenant and his wife dined at the home of Ames last Saturday night, Janney saw and recognized the cooler, whereupon he upbralded his wife for having glven it to Ame: During the verbal exchange that followed the lieutenant called Mrs. Janney a liar and insisted that she apologize to him. The wife apologized and the dinner was r sumed, It being generally thought by the other guests that the Incident was closed. A little later, however, Janney left the house and returned with a revolver, with which, according to the coroner and a milfe tary board of Inquiry, he shot himself 48 the presence of those at the table. Mrs. Janney testified that her husband and Lieu- tenant Colonel Ames were intimate friends. In army circles it Is belleved the action of Major General Willlam H. Carter, com- manding the Department of Luzon, in re- turning the report of the board of Inquiry with a request that further testimony be taken, means that a court-martial is con- templated. 4 CHANGES IN RAILROAD BILL Amendments Planned at Conference ot Senate ders and Atto ney Genera WASHINGTON, March 18.—For the pur pose of having the administration rallroad bill amended by its friends rather than by senators who have assalled its provisions, senate leaders and Attorney General Wick- ersham conferred for two hours after the adjournment of the senate yesterday, That & number of changes will be urged as - result of this conference was admitted to- night The meeting was attended by Attorney General Wickersham and Senators Ald- rich, Hale, Carter, SButherland, Flint, Ikins, Kean, Crane and Root. The sen- ators present scouted the suggestion that the session was the result of the attack upon the bill by Senator Cummins and said that it had been the purpose of the majority of the Interstate Commerce com- migsion all along to draw the fire of the opponents of the bill before proceeding to amendments. Probably the most {m- portant of the modifications considered is that along the lines indicated by Senator Aldrich, which would give the Interstate Commerce commission undisputed control of traffic agreements between raliroad companies, If it is found that this s no already covered in the bill
