Of course the patriotic colors . can be repeated in flags of various izes, which may be used profusely or decorative purposes. [ In the first table pictured, a white ~ cloth is used with blue and white | ichina. The centerpiece is composed | of four flags crossed and standing, jsurrounded by tiny shields laid in a | ring on the cloth. Small birch-bark anoes, holding red and white roses, " are placed around this centerpiece. _,"l'he place cards are tiny pasteboard - boats decorated with flowers, and the Ubonbon boxes are in the shape of ;] ealth Hints - Tables and Menus for the Fourth the blue in the foods, it is_best to let | | |the china and the garnishings supply | tractive centerpiece can be arranged | The color | rambler roses and placing it on a blue | shields. In front of each place is a tiny candle in a walnut shell, placed between two small crossed flags. The glass candlesticks have blue shades, trimmed with red and white flowers. On the second table are decorations suitable for a children’s table. Two wide strips of crepe paper, decorated with eagles and flags, are used as runners, crossing in the center and | reaching to the edge of the table. In the center is a mound constructed to represent a fort and covered with imi- tation grass cut from green crepe paper. This is topped with a flag and an eagle, and in the sides are stuck | sticks of candy wrapped in red paper with strings at the ends to look like firecrackers. From this centerpiece streamers of red crepe paper extend to the edge of the table. Paper plates, | with a flag pasted in the center of each are used. The bonbons are tied in paper napkins, twisted to resemble giant torpedoes and candy firecrack- ers, and crossed flags are laid on the cloth. The center decoration in the third table is a white liberty bell decorated with crossed flags, hung from the chandelier. Underneath on the cloth | are crossed trumpets; in the center a single flag stands upright guarded by a minuteman, White lilies fall from the mouths of the trumpets, thus giv- ing the suggestion of horns of plenty. Blue and white china is used, with silver candlesticks having § Pretty White il Colored Kid | PUMPS we 18000 White * Canvas and COOLEST AND SMARTEST FOR “HER” SUMMER WEAR $3 to $7 : To Get In or Out DS. of Business; To Buy or Sell Advantageously; Use THE BEE WANT- shades | | Btutted Tomato Sulad THE BEE lined with red.

Salmon Croquettes. Tomato Sandwiches, Red and White Radishes. Cabbage Salad in Red Pepper Cases Raspberry Ice. Small Cakes, Bonbons Serve the cream of celery soup in blue cups. Cut little red stars from pickled beets or pimentoes and put on top. The salmon croquettes should be served with white sauce on blue plates. For the sandwiches, chop to- mato and white onion together; mix with a little French dressing; add a little cracker dust to make of a con- sistency to spread, and spread on thin slices of buttered bread. To make the salad use only the white inside leaves of the cabbage; chop very fine, and to each cupful of cabbage add one-half cupful of chopped, sweet red epper. Dress with French dressing and fill red pepper cases. Place each case on a star of blue paper on a white plate, or serve on a blue plate. Serve the red raspberry ice in white paper cases bordered with blue sweet peas, pansies, bachelor buttons or any other blue blossoms. Little cakes may be iced in white, sprinkled with red sugar and served on a blue plate. Red and’ white bonbons may be served in little blue boxes or baskets at each place. The second menu is suitable for Cherry Cup Pimento Sandwiches Strawberry Cream Ankel Food Cake Red and White’ Bonbons The cherry cup is made of red cher- ries and bananas, and should be served in blue bouillon cups. When making the salad, leave the skin on the tomatoes and scoop out the seeds and part of the pulp. Salt the inside and invert to drain. Fill with clmp})cd celery mixed with mayonnaise /and some of the tomato pulp. Fill the cavities with this mixture and chill. Place each tomato cup on a paraffin paper star placed in the center of a blue paper star that is cut at least an inch larger than the one of paraf- fin paper. Roll the sandwiches and tie with blue ribon. Strawberry Ba- varian cream may be served on blue plates, with whipped cream, or, va- dishes, with large strawberries heaped around it. Bake the angel food cake in rectangular shape and ice in red, white and blue to represeiit the flag, using red fruit or vegetable coloring and indigo for the blue.

British Honduras presents the in- congruous picture of a natural green- house, capable of growing almost every ordinary edible that people de- sire, importing nearly all of its food from oversea. Its natives know nothing whatever about agriculture, but the government has set aside a tract of land where experiments in modern farming are being conducted under the direction of practical men. Y our Summers Go Better nilla ice cream may be served in blue | : OMAHA, SATURDAY, = Fashions -:- Woman's Work - | | | By WILLIAM F. RIGGE. The chief event of the month is the eclipse of the moon on the night of the 14th-15th. The annexed diagram will tell us all about the particulars. The largest circle is the earth’s penumbra, and the one next in size 15 the earth’s shadow at the place where | the moon crosses them. N, S, E, W | are the cardinal points, and the dia- ‘gram must be held so that the line | NS points to the pole star. When ‘!hc moon is low down in the east at ! the beginning of the eclipse, the line N S inclined considerably to the left. | This inclination, however, continually | diminishes as the moon apprpaches the meridjan, after which the line in- | clines to the right. . | " The oblique line—A B C F H—is | the path of the moon relative to the ‘sha(lnw, and the penumbra. The five small circles on it represent the moon at important moments. When its center is at A at 8:18 p. m., the moon enters penumbra. This fact cannot ‘hc observed, because the loss of bril- liancy is too small to be noticed. As | the moon nears B its forward or left | side becomes darker, until at 9:19 | when the moon enters shadow, quite | a perceptible notch will appear to be | cut out of it. At 10:46, when its cen- ter is at C, the moon has entered | deepest into the shadow, and 80 per cent of its diameter will be eclipsed. After this the moon begins to emerge and at 12:12 it leaves the shadow and at 1:14 the penumbra. The ten-min- ute marks on the moon's path enable | one, if he be so inclined, to picture the exact appearance of the moon at any time during the eclipse, as he need but center a circle of the size of the moon at the desired time and see how it cuts the shadow and penumbra cir- cles. On the 23rd the sun enters Leo, The days diminish in length for- ty-one minutes during the month, be- ing 15 hours, 3 minutes long on the 1st, 14 hours 49 minutes on the 15th | and 14 hours 22 minutes on the 3lst. | The sun is from four to six minutes slow on local time, and from twent- ty-seven to thirty minutes slow on central time., Those that are clamor- ing to set the clock ahead one hour ought to see from the times given in the “noon” column in the subjoin- ed table that we have already, by adopting central time, set our clocks ahead of the sun from twenty-seven to thirty minutes this month. The sun now sets not far from 8 o'clock, thus giving us three hours of day- light after quitting work at 5. That ought to be.enough. Putting the clocks ahead one hour within the limits of one city only and | for a few months only, is a very ques- tionable proceeding. First, there is the inconvenience of changing our time whenever we cross$ the city lim- its. Secondly, what will the vast ma- jority of the people do with that “ex- tra hour of daylight,” as they call it? 1t is too light to go to sleep by our | usual clock time, and too light to begin a lecture or an entertainment that calls for artificial lighting. These will then begin an hour later by the clock. So that by really rising an JULY The Heavens in July - | hour earlier than usual and deceiv- | ing ourselves by imagining we are 1, 1916, Ecliyse of the Moon to Be Great Night Show PARTIAL ECLIPSE OF THE MOON, JULY 14-15, 1916.

A little gray woman came out f one of the city savings banks. It was a day of rain and she shivered in the cutting wind that blew up from the river. She clutched her bank book between her fingers that thrust them- selves out of gloves that were past mending. As I passed her I saw that ! she was carelessly rather than poorly | dressed. A rip in her sleeve disclosed a sharp elbow. For lack of the stitch in time that saves nine, the hem of her skirt dragged in the mud. Her heel caught in it now and then, impeding her walk and adding an extra strain upon her nervous system. A.shabby little hat, faded as to the straw and the flow- ers on it, tilted with a woeful attempt at rakishness over her ear. Her face had the grayish pallor - f one illy nourished. She turned into a factory building and took her place in the march of the army of manual labor. For how long? I wondered. Em- ployers are impatient of down at the heels looking “help.” They think it re- flects upon the institution. And so in great measure it does. But we won’t worry about the employer. Doubtless he is well able to take care of him- self. Most of them are. But the little gray woman burdened my mind. She and her fate weighted my spir- its, because while she had been mak- ing a deposit in one bank she was so sadly neglecting another. She had patronized the City Provident bank ! and was plainly indifferent to the bank of Self. . I believe in saving. I consider thrift one of the cardinal virtues. A savings fund assumes a concrete form to me I see it as a dike like those which the careful men of Holland build about their little country to keep it from being washed away by the sea. Adver- sity is a hungry sea of mountain high waves. The savings bank account keeps them back. But I fear the little woman was try- ing to build her dike too high. Or that it would not have needed such height had she put more into the Bank of Self, The wage earning woman should deposit money in a savings bank against the day or days of dread. The day of illness. The day of “trouble with the boss.” The day of being “laid off” indefinitely. The day of waning strength which we call grow- ing old. The day with the caprice of commerce or the march of progress when the demand for her kind of work is lessened, or when its rewards dimin- ish. To that proposition there can be no dispute from one of sane mind or sound character, woman who gripped her worn savings bank with her fingers that showed through her gloves. She did not~put 2| enough into the bank which is her- self. She should have deposited in the bank of self more and better food. 2| That her skin should have had the clearness and the dash of rose which are tokens of health. She should have made more deposits of clean, invigor- ating air. Yes, it can be done in a city in which a quarter hour’s walk will take you to one of the two great riv- ers that hound its sides. She should have deposited enough of time to mend that rip in her sleeve and to have secured that hem in her skirt, that each step might not be a jar upon her nervous system and possibly fling her face downward on the sidewalk. But consider the case of the littley _thanks to the soda fountain—soda “«_fountains are better, thanks to —the drink that made the soda fountain a national institution. That's because it gave them a useful, wholesome, deli- j cious and refreshing beverage to serve. Demand the genuine by full name—nicknames encourage substitution. . THE COCA-COLA CO., . ATLANTA, GA.
