Miss Anna Dilks is among the many out of town guests. j jfi At a May party given recently, among the attractive appointments used were tiny French baskets filled with violets given as favors The table was arranged in a very attractive manner. In the center was a large French basket filled with violets and ferns from which were fastened lavender ribbons, caught at, each place by a small bouquet of violets. The t able was arranged for twelve. In fact the entire color scheme, lavender and white, was used in all the appointments. t Miss Agnes Twigg was hostess yesterdav afternoon for a meeting of the "Gabblers" at her home on South Seventeenth street. The hours were spent in a social manner. A luncheon in several courses was served. The club meets every two weeks. J J Jt The monthly league of the Grace M. K. church, will hold a business session Monday evening at the church. A large attendance of the members is desired. 8 One of the pretty social affairs given at Indianapolis this week was a luncheon given by Miss Mary Barr in honor of Miss Ethel Collins, whose marriage will take place in June. Miss Barr is known to several local people. Jt Very few card parties or dances were given this week. There were few other social events. This is perhaps due to the closing of the club season. Nearly every social organization in the city has concluded the season's work and until the latter part of this month things will he rather dull. One would think that after the observance of Lent, that the many society women would be eager to entertain. J J v The program committees of the various clubs are busy preparing programs for the coming year. They haunt the public, library and make all sorts of dives into the encyclopedias and quotation dictionaries. Program

You Are Wronj Some of you don't eat Mapl-Flake, simply because it costs 15 cents. You are clinging to foods that you like far less because they are five cents cheaper. But you are wrong ; they are dearer. You are losing the food you like best the one that's all food the one with the maple flavor. And all through a mistake. You forget the cream, in the first place. Add that cost to the food cost and see how trifling the difference. For cream costs the same on poor food as on good food. Mapl-Flake is all nourishment because it all digests. That's why it costs more. We spend 96 hours in preparing it. That's four times the time that some others spend. And the time is all spent for your good your economy. Let us explain. Starch the main part of wheat cannot digest until it is made soluble. Raw starch won't digest. When it is halfcooked, half will digest. The balance is wasted and worse. It ferments and breeds germs in the stomach. So we make that starch all digestible. We create a food that's all food.

Our wheat is steam-cooked for six hours; then cured. Then fiaVed so thin that the full heat of our ovens gets to each atom. Then toasted 30 minutes at 400 degrees. Omit the fact of the flavor derived from pure maple syrup. Consider siraply the question of food value. Is a food that half digests economical? Is it worth the cost of the cream? The food that you buy because it is cheaper costs more than Mapl-Flake. The only food served in tndivHua! pckee in hoteis. ciubs. o:et, and on dinint car.

making is not what it used to be in the "olden days" of women's clubs. Then they decided that Whittier was a good subject, they put down one woman to write on his life and several were selected to give poems. It used to be easy, but alas! the enlightened world is growing more critical. The chairman of a program committee now has a hard time of it. It is strange, but the time for arranging the pro grams conies right at house-cleaning time, when one's mind is quite sufficiently distracted with domestic (ares.

AMERICA IS THE COUNTRY OF FUTURE

So Says Mrs. O'Connor, Wife Of a Member of British Parliament.

WOMEN'S ACTS DISGUSTING

MRS. JOHN A. LOGAN SAYS ANTICS OF BALTIMORE SOCIETY WOMEN IN DISEASE BURLESQUE WERE REVOLTING.

(By Mrs. John A. Logan.) Washington. May f. Among the visitors to Washington in the past few months there has been no more distinguished person than Mrs. T. P. O'Connor. I had the pleasure of knowing Mrs. O'Connor in her youth as the daughter of Judge Paschal. She

was always considered one of the most

intellectual and brilliant young women of Washington. Through the advantages which she has had during her long sojourn in England as the wife of one of the most able and distinguished members of Parliament, she has acquired the foremost position as one of the most noted women of the two countries. She has been good enough to give some of the most interesting interviews with correspondents that have been road with a great amount of pleasure by her old friends. Not the least of these was her assertion that "every woman, rich or poor, should earn her own living at least for one year." This is so practical, so American and so wise a suggestion that one hopes it may be adopted in her native land, at. least. She has not lost any of her loyalty for American institutions, as she believes thoroughly in the republican form of government, and says that "it is no doubt the best of its kind in the world, and the aristocracy represents the very best type to be found anywhere." She admits that England is the greatest "colonization nation," hut that no nation has accomplished what America has done. It has given liberty and homes to all races and classes and conditions of people "the Anarchist, the degenerate, the penniless, the homeless, the outlaw, and it has given them back hope and self-respect, and when full-fledged American citizens they are ready at a moment's notice to take up arms in defense of their country." "America, in spite of her mistakes and misrepresentations, is undoubtedly the country of the future, the country of hope and of progress." says Mrs. O'Connor, "and for myself I am more intensely American than ever, because more intelligently so." Every woman in America should be proud of Mrs. O'Connor, who so eloquently expresses her devotion to her native land on account of what it has done. If more American women who live abroad would thus loyally defend and sustain the principles of our American institutions, they would reflect credit upon their country and give foreigners a better understanding of republicanism. Her advocacy of woman's rights does not in the least conflict with her devotion and pride in her illustrious husband, Hon. T. P. O'Connor. M. P., who appreciates his talented, beautiful wife, and is broad enough to share in her ambitions. If all the young women married to foreigners were of the same intellectual mould as Mrs. O'Connor. we would not have such a horror of inter; national marriages, but for the most part they have proven themselves sycophants who seem proud of the fact that they have purchased titles and must renounce their own country and all its customs and repudiate as far as possible the land of their nativity.

The reports of the distinguished entertainment which was recently given in Baltimore by members of the most fashionable club in that city have been confirmed by a number of Washington society women who attended it. The entertainment was for the purpose of burlesquing the treatment of diseases .and it is said that persons who took in the burlesque represented patients suffering from various diseases who submitted to examination by others who personated the medical and surgical profession. Some of the features of the affair were absolutely revolting, not the least of which was the appearance of one of the most prominent society matrons in a bathing suit, who was immersed in a bathtub filled with water and covered with flowers. One can imagine her appearance when she emerged from this bath. At another stage of the program. ,hree Teddy Bears were brought in as the triplet offspring of one of the participants in this disgusting burlesque. Many other features characterized the dissipations of the evening to the disgust of the whole country.

! Not to be outdone, it seems, another ! society leader has followed the exam- ; pie of these rioters in society and re1 cently extended invitations to her friends "to come and take a bath with me: also bring your kimonos and stay to luncheon." These invitations were ' sent to 'J" club presidents, the majority of whom seem to have accepted this unique invitat ion. The affair for daring in setting aside refinement, modesty and dignity of in'telligent women could hardly be equalj ed. The graphic description is given i of how. on the arrival of each guest. Ithey were taken to the bathroom, and ' subsequently appearing in kimonos were photographed so that the public ; could have an opportunity of seeing them in Oriental negligee wrappers. They then partook of the luncheon prepared by their hostess. It tfr't orl of. thing is to be contin-

ued and countenanced by women prominent enough to be presidents of women's clubs, it would be impossible to predict where their demoralizing in

fluence will end. Imagine the presi- j

dent of a press club. Shakesperean club, California club, Gotham club. Kubenstein club, and like clubs, supposed to be literary and edifying in character,

so far forgetting themselves as to lend j

their presence to so disgusting, unconventional and absurd an entertainment.

The lady originating this eort of an entertainment cast a very serious reflection not only upon herself, but upon the intelligence, self-respect, morality and refinement of her friends, and the marvel is that so many of them accepted the invitations and allowed themselves to be photographed as participants in any such diversion smacks strongly of total depravity. Mrs. Lillian Devereaux Blake says that one could accept with more tolerance this sort of thing if it was indulged in by the lower lasses of society, but when people posing as leaders can so far forget themtvelves. it should arouse the indignation and .condemnation of all who are interested in the preservation of a high moral standard in society.

affairs of this kind has a very serious

effect on young people who. if they are so disposed can follow these vicious examples. If persisted in it will assuredly require the passage of laws prohibiting indulgence in diversions of this character, which are really more injurious to society than many other things that are prohibited by the criminal code. They are certainly a ppeoles of public indecency that should be suppressed, even if th law must be invoked. Doubtless people so abandoned get their ideas from vimts to Paris and other European cities, where such institutions an the "Cafe 'Jardin de Paris," "Cafe Chantant" and many

others that could be named on their i questionable diversions under the pro- j

tection of the municipal authorities to the very verge of public indecencv "

pattered against the wall of the cabin as she turned. Her husband had been sheriff of Otero county. New Mexico, and police captain of El Paso. He had taught her the use of weapons. She grabbed the rifle and as she reached the door it spoke spitefully. Out of the ranks of the screeching horde an Indian lunged blindly, twirh'd about once and fell. The others hesitated and the rifle spoke again. Another howled and ran for cover and the others scattered. One of her song, a boy of fifteen, cut off from the cabin and pursued by an Indian, clambored over the side of a cliff, lost his hold and fell fifty feet into a ravine below. The mother aw him fall. An instant later his pursuer was limping to cover. Three other Indians caught her daughter, aged ten years, and tied her to a tree in full view of the house. They taunted the mother by firing at the child, hoping to draw her out of the house by this means. Every time the woman appeared she was greeted with a volley of bullets. Three times she was shot, two bullets piercing her left arm, finally rendering it almost useless. Her defense was weakened and soon her rifle was empty. Then she took the only pistol in the house and made a last stand. Finally, emboldened by the ceasing of her rifle fire, the Indians charged the cabin again and overpowered her. They ransacked the house, after binding her with ropes, and took all the money they could find, nearly $400. The children, obeying their mother's command, escaped to the timber from the rear of the house. While the Indians were preparing to torture her. In the belief that there was more money about the place, her husband returned, attracted from his mining by the bhooting. In the fight which followed he was

killed. The Indians made off immediately, evidently fearing the hootin( would bring help to their victims. They made no further atack upon the little girl, bound to the tree, doubtles forgetting her. A brother released her ami they cut the mother k Inrnds. Behind barricaded doors she gathered the children, while her eldest son rode thirty miles for help. Hefore he returned she hail discovered her other son. badly hurt at the ft of the cliff and helped him bark to the cabin. When help came they buried Raker and abandoned the cabin. Mrs. Maker and her children are here no. living with a married sister. Beyond the wounded arm and a slight flesh wound she is none the worse physically for her terrible experience.

EI Paso. ray 9. What would you do. were you a woman, living miles from the nearest neighbor, and were to see a dozen husky, bloodthirsty Indians swooping down upon your little cabin, shootinc as they came and filline the air with their floating war whoops? And then, what if five of your children were playine out in the yard, or workine in the little garden, and became the targets for th bullets of their murderous rifles? Mrs. Riley Baker, wife of a gold

I prospector, and heroine of the latest

outbreak of the ferocious Yaqui Indians, terrors of the mining country of northern Mexico, did not heaitate a moment. She was alone in the little cabin on the banks of the Yaquid river, thirty miles from Santa Nina, in the state cf Sinaloa, worn out from long attendance upon her eighteen months old baby, ill almost unto death. Outside her five other children were at play. At the first Indian veil she sprang to the door, knowing instinctively what i meant. She gave one cry of warning to her children and rushed to the corner of the room where stood
