One hundred and ninety- two players were seated at the game, more than attended the recent national women's whist tournament in Chicago. Several of the players wha attended the Chicago meet commented upon the comparative size. In dollars, and this in a benefit ls a very \inportant particular, the affair was the | most succosstul party which has been given for the Creche, as the receipts will be uver $40.

'Anpther list ot young soclety matrons have been busily employed as chaperons, and this evening will know the anxieties of the wardrobe mistress, for each group is responsible for the costumes of its particular group of performers. Thelr dutles are complicated by the an- | mouncement that the ‘‘curtain will rise sharply at 8:15, so that the little tots in the play may not be kept out too late.” , This means, of course, that the perform- ers, as well as the audience, must be quite | ready at this hour.

The Social Settlement workers of this country are contemplating forming a na- tional organization. The first step toward this was taken at the recent conference held in St. Louls before and in connection with the National Conference of Charities and Corrections dent head of the Omaha Social Settlement, returned Thursday from attending these meetings and s enthuslastic In speaking of each. Of the charities conference Miss Schaefer sald: “It was the best conference I ever attended and -850 many others present seemed to feel the same way about it. The questions discussed showed both in themselves and in the manner in which they were approached the growth of the work and workers.” A committee of nine was named by the soclal settlement workers to consider the question of a natlonal organization and also to discuss problems common to the work in all cities. One of these problems, which was thor- oughly discussed at the conference, is “How Far Settlement People Could Help in Enforcing Law?" The question is, since the settiement is to stand as the helpful neighbor, how it should co-operate with the law-enforcing ,officers. Miss Jane Addams and Miss Mary McDowell of Chi- cago led in this discussion, Mrs. Harrietta Hiller of the Detentlon school, who also attended the conference, is expected home Friday. Miss Ida V. Jontz, secretary of the Associated Charities, will return next week. “Omaha Woman's club ranks high in the list of the clubs of the country because of the thorough way In which its work is done,” was the gratifying statement which the former leader of the department of oratory, Miss Jessie Brown Crommette, made to her former assoclates at the in- formal reunion held in the home of Miss Mary Wallace Wednesday. Miss Crom- mette, Who is now with the Otis Skinner company, since leaving Omaha has been at the head of a department in the Amer- ican Academy of Dramatic Art, New York, and through this position has had oppor- tunity to see the work of many of the New York clubs, and she does not except these In giving the Omaha organization high place. During her leadership Tennyson’ “Princess” and numerous other plays were given by the oratory department of the Omaha club, and at the reunion Wednes- day some discussion of these former times was enjoyed. Mrs. N. H. Nelson, recording secretary of the Omaha Woman's club, who is the first of the Omaha delegates to return from the blennial of the General Federa- tion, gives ‘“Conservation” as the most striking note of the convention. This is not the conservation politically discussed, but the conservation of the child. Though the question of woman's suffrage had place on the program for the first time, it was not the topic in which most Interest was taken. Mrs. Nelson did not agree that the club women, as represented at thelr convention, were becoming oo aristocratic, but, on the contrary, felt that they were increasing in their appreciation of the meaning of dem- ocracy and also in their efficlency. She declared that the Cincinnati mebting was the most businesslike one she had ever at- tended; It was more so than the preceding one at Boston; possibly the fact that it was & smaller meeting contributed to this effect. At Boston there were a great many more visitors and also a larger number of dele- gates present, as was to be expected when one remembers the historic interest of Boston and its natural attraction to visitors. There were about 1,000 delegates at Cincinnati and the meetings were both exceedingly well conducted and of great Interest. It was a convention of absorbing Interest to all students of the civic and Industrial problems, and especially those which concern the child. Mrs, J. P. Johnston of Omaha and Mrs. H. M. Bushnell of Lincoln also have re- turned from the convention. The World's Health Orgsnization, the so- clety waging war against the kissing habit, is bidding for members among the Omaha people, that is, the papers oxplain- in- cluCing the pledge have been quite gener- ously distributed. This Is the organisation which has its club motto, “Kiss not,” em- blazoned upon its club button. Mrs L Rechtin of Cincinnati is given as the pres! dent of this organization, which has an ambition to be “‘the largest and healthlest club In the world.” Mme.

Miss Clara Schaefer, resi- | HE hostess should be pro- ficlent in the act of salad making, for there Is no ques- tlon that it adds to the serv- ice and to the pleasure of the Buests to have the dressing mixed freshly at the table and mixed up with the salad plants in a large bowl and served from it with weoden spoon or fork. other salad can equal this in taste, It this is to be done, the waitress or butler should know and never neglect the first points in preparing the plants themselves for the dressing. As lettuce is the maln support of most salads, it is well to take It up first. Its root and all coarse leaves must be cut off. Hach leaf must be washed by itselt by dipping it up and down in cold water. The same water #hould not be used for more than a few leaves. If the latter are wilted they can be revived by letting them lie in the water for a while. They should be dropped into a wire basket as soon as rinsed and shaken until'the water is well off. They are then put in a cold place until ready to serve. Before serving each leaf should be softly wiped with the fresh- est cloth. The point with lettuce, as with all other plants, is keeping it chilled. A salad that is otherwlse is impossible. Every one knows that the should not be cut from celery, though In other days in lesser house- holds celery was served minus the roots, plus the green tops, and stand- ing upright In glass vases. It gives one a shiver to think of it now in comparison with the snow white, ice cold stalks, the tops cut off and the lusclous roots left on. all bedded in cracked ice on a long platter. This fashion of leaving roots on was called “clubhouse fashion,” and the name still clings to it. To prepare celery in this palatable way, the coarss outer stalks are taken off and any end that is fibrous should be. cut down thin to the hard part.

Crusade Against Algrettes. ‘A London clergyman has Instituted a bold and successful crusade against women who wear the algrette, the dainty piume of feathers that ls taken from the white heron during the nesting season, and those who attend the services of Rev. D. H, R. Gamble, In his church of Holy Trinity, in Sloane square, need .more than ordinary courage to continue to appear with their hats decorated in this way. Not content with preaching sermons directed against the cruelty involved In the aigrette traffic, Dr. Gamble has affixed a series of photo- graphs from life at the entrance of his church, so that all who pass in can see the pitiful history of the bird from which the algrette is taken. The first picture shows the plume as It usually appears in feminine headgear, and bears the caption, “The White Badge of Cruelty.” Other pletures shiow how the mother bird is shot by the hunters soon after Its young are hatched, and how the nestlings dle In starvation in thelr heiplessness. ort Bread. One quart of flour, two tablespoonfuls of fresh lard, one tablespoonful of butter, three teaspoonfuls of baking powder, on teaspoonful of sailt. Mix the baking powder with the flour and stir in the salt. Rub the lard and butter well into the flour. Then pour in enough cold milk to make the mixture as thick as biscult dough. It should be baked on top of the stove in a griddie. Split open and butter well before sénding it to the table. Do mot take & subsutute for Chamber- ialn's Cough Remedy. It has equal Preparing Salads point eclearly, for soft celery is not agreeable to any person. The long, thick root, which s a brownish color, should be neatly pared and sharpened to a blunt point. When celery comes in large bunches it should be halved, and sometimes quartered. Instead of dipping the cel- ery up and down In water as one does lettuce, it is held under the water tap, then dipped in a bowl of lce water and wiped off. It is put In a cold place until ready to go to the table, when it is then bedded in finely cracked ice and lald lengthwise in a long crystal dish. Experts in salad making advise that celery should be kept tightly wrapped in brown paper until a short time be- fore serving, and that it should not be touched with water too early, or it will become rusty. What fs known as tossing up a salad is the epicurean way of doing it, but there are certaln salads that cannot be treated in this fashion, Lettuce and tomatoes make the salad that ean be prepared at the table. Potatoes or any kind of vegetables must be al- lowed to soak. Celery must be carefully handled, for it so lacks in absorbent qualities that it requires coaxing. Yet, if it stands in the dressing a moment longer than the required time it wilts and the salad becomes a fallure, The French dressing, modified and elaborated by experience and taste, is the one that is used at the table, Each host or hostess knows a pecu- Mar and gratifying way to toss up a salad, but the ordinary persen relies solely on the ingredients and propor- tions lald down by cooks. This calls for one-half teaspoonful of salt, one- quarter teaspoonful of pepper, two tablespoonfuls vinegar, four table- spoonfuls of olive oil. Yet an aroma of garlic, a tiny touch of onlons, a few bay leaves, and other palatable in- gredients are often tossed up along with this commonplace dressing. CITY PAYS FOR BASE BALL New Jersey Town Coaghes the Na- tional Game with Good Results. In the coming summer the city of Tren- ton wlll have upward of 2,50 boys playing |uniformed base ball under municipal con- trol. They will be divided into leagues, with regular schedules to play out and pen- rants to win. This is the most ambitious scheme of its kind in the Unite] States and perhaps in the world. For two seasons now Trenton Tas had more than 2,000 bcys playing base ball under municipal control. The games ere under the direction of two directors of base ball appointed by the Trenton Play- grounds commission and pald $1,00 a vear each by the city., The directors are Albert Eratton, at one time one of the best known base ball and basket ball players in New Jersey, and William Haney. This plan to take care of the hoys of the city during the summer months was de- vised three years ago by F. C. Benner, then the physical director of the local Young Men's Christian assoclation, and Marvin A. Riley. The idea recelved the hearty ap- proval of Mayor Madden and money was secured from the city to carry on the work. A citizens' assoclation to assist the Play- grounds commission was formed with Prof John E. Gill at the head. On the opening day of the league sea- son 2,000 boys paraded through the city be- hind bands paid for by the city. That first season was watched by persons interested in the playground idea throughout the coun- try and since that time hundreds of fues- tlons have been received as to the success of the plan. Johnstown, Pa., several other Pennsylvania towns and a number of west- ern citfes have adopted the idea. Last vear there were 180 teams in the var- fous Trenton leagues. The leagues are dli- vided into four classes, primary, midgets, intermedlates and juniors, and each section of the city has it own leagues. Every day during the summer months there are up- ward of seventy-five games of ball for the champlonships. The age of the players ranges from 10 to |16, During the first year the age ran to 18, but {t was thought best to abolish the league of the big boys because of the diffi- culty in distinguishing the ages of some of the players, Some of the teams had players over 22 and 23 posing as of 18 years. Umpires are appointed for the league games by the supervisors. and all disputes are settled by the supervisors. The season this year will start Saturday, June 25, the first Saturday after the clos- ing of the city's schools. The usual cere- monies will mark the opening of the season, and the money has already been appro- priated to buy news suits for the players, Several hundred lots throughout the city will be used dally and some person ap- pointed by the supervisors will' visit these lots and make up games between boys | who are not on the league teams or who are too small to make the teams. The results of this idea were seen the first year of its adoption. The police court records showed a decrease in the number of boys picked up by the police | officers for petty offenses. The boys had | lots of good, wholesome fun and the city | profited.—New York Sun.
