4-C THE SUNDAY BEE: OMAHA. JUNE .5. 122. The Two-Room Apartment Br LORETTO C LYNCH. It i better to (tart home in a tiny two room apartment thin not to Mart at all. And it i far better to havt home, the rent of which one it reasonably aura of being able to pay than to worry along in a mora commodiui home. By giving the furnishing of a two room home careful study, one can evolve a moat comfortable little not at amall expensr. One artittic young couple found that the only home in which thry could afford to ret tail into the matrimonial ira wai one consisting of two roomi. One room was large, the other one i the kitchen of fair lite. No one had thought of calling the bath a room it wasn't. It kii juat a compact lit tle place reached by a door leading from the larger room. A the apartment atood, the one larger room had to he bedroom, liv ing room and company dining room. The kitchen was alio used for laundering purposes and as a break fast room. Each was handy with hammer and nails and the average tools of the home tool cheat. And ao they built a breakfast nook. It consisted of a table ahelf which could be iwunar up flat against the wall when not in I ue. Even the Dutch bench which atood on either aide of the table dur ing meal times waa hinged and it was possible to awing it back against the wait when not in use. They bought two day-beds and placed them agaijist two different walls of the room. Beautiful sofa cushions in a wealth of beautiful color and in a wide variety of shapes we re piled on these with artistic care lessness. They chose a chifforobe in antiqut mahogany. This was placed in the living room. A. tapestry cover was placed on top that is, it was part tapestry and part old rose velvet. Brass candlesticks and candles of old blue were placed on either end. Above hum? an oval mirror with a mahogany frame. This piece of fur niture did not seem to be of the bedroom. Besides the chairs, there was a gate-leg table, a muffin stand and a tea wagon, all of mahogany. Any of this furniture could be used to advantage in the more preten tious home they hoped to have at some future day. Cretonne hangings are effective with wicker furniture and cool-looking potted ferns, and this scheme of decoration is much less expensive than the one suggested above and is in the best of taste. Several small rrgs seem a better buy for beginners tnan one large one. The one or two-toned taupe rugs make a suitable foundation for any color scheme or type of furniture. Odors of Cooking. It overcomes disagreeable cook ing odors and the heat thrown off by the range by discharging all the air of the kitchen through the window. There are two general types of kitchen ventilators. One is a sim ple fan designed for installation in the wndow frame. The upper sash may be permanently lowered and the fan frame built into the win dow or the fan may be mounted above the lower sash, the upper sash being dropped when the fan is in operation. A fan of this type draws the free air of the kitchen and discharges it through the window opening. Air so removed is replaced by an equal amount of fresh air which enters the house through the natural openings. The other type ventilator con sifts of a blower installed in a duct which leads directly from a canopy over the range and discharges either through the window or into the chim ncv flue. While fans of these types are de signed primarily for ventilating the kitchen they have great all-round usefulness for they move such large volumes of air that they help very materially in mantaining a com fortable temperature throughtout the house. Baked ham omelet is appetizing. Place slice of ham in baking dish and cover with thinly sliced apples. Mix together one cup water, three table spoons flour, one tablespoon vinegar and pour over ham. Bake and serve in a border of seasoned potatoes. Problems That Perplex Answered by BEA1RICE FAIRFAX. "I wonder if you understand, if the whole world understands, how hard it is for the modern girl to keep her ideals," writes A Bachelor Girl. "Men talk of the good, oJd-fashioned type they can no longer find, but I ask how many really want to find her? Men spend their good young lives entertaining the other kind, and then offer the dregs in their cup to the girl they 'set on a pedestal.' The modern boy actually thinks it is a dis grace not to sew a lull crop ot wild "That is why there are so many bachelor girls. They have ideals, and they are types of noble woman hood. The majority of them (if they dare confess it) long to live, laugh and love. They long for home, hus band and kiddies. But they want clean, high-minded men for hus bands. "My mother taught me to want the best m life. And I want to want it and to go on wanting it. But the man of today doesn't admire the woman who clings to her vision of what is fine and true. He tells her to be a good sport and have a little fun. Perhaps after a while she gets tired of being lonesome and decides she might as well grab the moment and its pleasures. 'But if she doesn't if she clings to her ideals where is she going to find a man who measures up to them? Sometimes I wonder if there's any reward for decency. Any use in ideals. They seem to leave you lone ly and embittered. What do you think about it? ' ' I don't think ideals leave you lone ly and embittered. Instead they keep you hopeful and waiting for the big things that are just around the cor ner of life whether or not we have it A great many of us call notions ideals. But an actnal ideal is a shin ing thing like a guiding star. The man of today does admire the woman who clings to her vision of what is fine and true. Perhaps the lounge lizard type of man docsnt.

Rawlcy, and Herschcl William Woodea will take place next Friday at 6 o'clock at the Kountze Memorial church. Mr. Woodes it the $0,1 of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Woodes of Central City. The young couple will live in Omaha. Christ Child Society Mrs. Louis Nash donated a collec tion of boys' books to the library, at the Christ Child center last week. On Thursday morning the girls were taken to Riverview park for bathing and in the afternoon a crowd of boys from the center went swimming in the Riverview pool. Bathing suits are supplied to the children from the center. A large number of children under the direction of Miss Vera Dendin ger enjoyed the outing at Krug park on Saturday. Miss Bernice Dugher, who gives piano lessons at the center, has changed her time to Wednesday morning during vacation. The Elks have invited the children to Krug park on Thursday for their carnival. All of the park attractions are to be free to the youngsters. Girls sewing classes are conducted every afternoon at the center. The older girls are making dresses and the younger girls, dolls' clothes. Girls' Community Service League Monday Kluga club supper at Miller park. Tuesday Lafayette club supper, Miller Park. Wednesday Wamm club supper, Miller park. Friday D. T. A. club supper, Mil ler park. Odds and Ends of Fashion For both formal and informal wear white is very fashionable. Black satin ribbon is the only trim ming of a hat of white crin. Some charming pajamas are of pink-and-white checked gingham. With a bathing suit are the "Rol lette" hose which do not roll at all, 'ut have enclosed elastic under a con trasting silk. Cool for summer wear, prettily effective with the bathing suit. Never were sweaters quite so love ly as they are this season. Iceland wool in white and colors, heavy silk en threads croche'ted and knitted in fanciful designs. A myriad models from which to choose. Cotton homespun is another fabric that is attracting wide attention for spring and summer. In this smart tailored irocks may be made, so that it has its uses in city streets as well as country roads. Accordion plaited parasols. That is, the accordion plaited silk is drawn into a close shirred circle about the end of the ferrule, and then is fastened lightly about the edge of the stiff taffeta foundation of the parasol. oats. moment hasn't any conception of the inner joy to be derived trom strengthening character. So he neither develops ideals in himself nor longs to find them in woman. But what fine woman wants to spend the rest of her life with a man who is either weak, degraded or in any way the victim of his own casual emotions? The woman who clings to her ideals is sure to meet at last with a man who will admire her for her vision and strength and sweetness. Both he and she will have the greater joy of each other because of the lone liness and desperation through which they have gone. Many women today are so avid for the moment, so afraid to wait till to morrow and so terrified by the "chronic loneliness" which seems to be the lot of aspiring souls, that they deliberately change their natures and play down to a group which they must despise or pity. Only one thing can be more ter rible than to find that you ve delib erately thrown away your own ideals, calmly lowered your standards and put yourself on a level beneath your true one. And that one thing is to find, when it's too late, that the best would have come if vou d waited. All of us must live up to the best in ourselves if we're ever to be truly happy, disappointment can be more tragic than the one that comes with self. Jo failure can be more ab solute than the one which is pro duced by deliberate killing of the flowers in the garden and cultivating the garish weeds. J What Are Women Mayors Doing?

How Were- They timed. For people who believe thut city government aliould not be a matter of politic, but rather a matter of bualnewllk admlnlNtratlnn, there I great encouragement in tho fact that none of the women mayor em to have run for the sake of politic. In on or two cane they were put Into office whether they would or not. Mr. A. K. Gault of St. Peter wa appointed by the city council, all of whom were men, after the elected mayor had refuaed to qualify. Mr. Abbte Howe Forcat of Thayer, Kan., writes that (he and five other wo men were made candidate for city office without their knowledge or consent, and were elected over two other ticket. She I mayor, Mr. Hattle Brewster 1 police Judge, and all the member of the council are women. Part of Mrs. Foreat's letter give the clue to a situation which frequently exists In small towns, and which forecasts mora women in elected city offices. She say: "I might sny here that our election was due to the fact that In amall town men beat fitted for public offlc often refuse to serve on the. plea that thoy would 'hurt their business.' W had no business to hurt." Mrs. Grace Miller Is mayor of Jackson, Wyo., and with her Is an entire coun cil of women. They made no cam paign for election, but they did criticise the existing government, and, in the opinion of a Wyoming resident, the men "passed the buck by nominating them. The success of their regime I indicated by the fact that they have all been re elected, and that Miss Pearl Wil liams, town marshal, has reiilgned because the town is .so quiet it doesn't need a marshal any more! What these women and their sister mayors have already accomplished forms the only reliable index of the kind of thing they may be expected to do. And it is merely an Indica tion, not a rule or a limit. There seem to be two main lines of accom plishment a physical city cleaning and a moral cleanup. Some mayors lay stress on one. some on the other, and some of them are engaged in both. Municipal Housekeeping. Mrs. Miller and her slater officers of Jackson began their city house cleanfng by clearing Jackson's water supply. Pure at the source, it ran through the town in an open ditch, gathering enroute much be side clean city water. The women have substituted an adequate piping system from the spring, and have thereby improved not only Jackson's health, but also its streets. They have also paid off tho mortgage on the cemetery, built adequate roads and established a city Dark. The "petticoat government" of Thayer. Kan., also has been concern ing itself with parks, cemetery and roads, in the manner of good en gineers. Mrs. A. K. Gault has been a moral cleaner. The outstanding feature of her first year as mayor of St. Peter, Minn., has been the enforce ment of prohibition and the licens ing of soft drink parlors. Both feats aroused very bitter opposition. No one of these mayors has re ceived as much publicity as Dr. Amy Kaukonen of Fairport. O. situated on the shore of Lake Erie, Fairport did a thriving business in illegal liquors. It was easy to land them from Canada, and not much harder to spread them throughout the country with Fairport as a distrib utlng center. Enter Dr. Kaukonen, aered 23, youngest graduate of the Women's Medical college of Pennsyl vania. Her medical work brought her into sad familiarity with the effects of bootleg whisky and she determined to banish it from Fair port. Her duties as mayor Included the appointing of a chief of police, a board of health and a chemist. Re alizing the importance of these of fices in her anti-bootleg campaign. she appointed to all of them some one she could trust implicitly namely, herself. So now she arrests; bootleggers because she is chief of police; she analyzes their product because she is an expert chemist, and she pronounces against them ol -her capacity as board of health.

Iowa has two wo men mayors, one In Randalla and the other In Lehigh. Physical and moral house cleaning and housekeeping these are the things women mayors are thinking about and are doing. Men think of roads and water and buildings and budgets in terms of engineering. Women translate them Into terms of municipal housekeeping. A good housekeeper has well-built, orderly paths; her water supply Is clean, adequate and conveniently piped; her house Is well made, comfortable and well kept; she spends and saves on a budget. She goes a step far ther and here is where housekeep ing is broader than engineering. She is deeply Interested in educating children. She knows how vitally important it is to have them sur rounded with the right kind of en vironment. Therefore, she trans lates those abstractions Into con crete terms, and enters the realm of moral housekeeping. a v -r rx . - 4ss rii v ..ft . 0 it 0 mm oerfl IJoOoGDS II !

In the former case rest will restore the normal condition. As soon as any swelling becomes evident a per son should lie down in a darkened room. By the bed or couch there may be a basin of hot water and two cloths are required. One of these, hot and wet, is kept constantly over the eyes. A rubber bag is not a substitute in this case, for it will not adhere to the skin. The cloths must be kept as hot as the (kin can en dure without smarting, and they should be kept on for 15 minutes. In ordinary cases a further rest of half an hour will complete the cure, but sometimes the application of a cream it beneficial after the final cloth has been removed.
