Makes Her Own Mailbox for New French Colonial Home The fad for wrought Irons and coppers on French and Italian type homes is bringing the artistic talents of Omaha women Into play In creating these decorative .accessories. I'assershy have admired the copper lantern, and mailbox on the home of Dr. and Mrs. Alfred O. Peterson at 102 North Fifty-second street, and (lie knowledge that Mrs. Peterson has created them lends additional interest. Dost year. While her house, a French ('olonlal In dark brick, was under construction, Mrs. Peterson joined a class In art work at the University of Omaha and a hexagonal lantern whose light gleams through a grape pattern, with a mailbox In the same design, Is the result. The lantern Is two feet from ring tip to base and 14 Inches in diameter. •Tt swings over the terrace. The mailbox Is regulation size. The Peter sons took possession of their new home in September and almost the first things put In place on moving day were these interesting articles. Mrs. Peterson this week has two watercolors and an oil In the Art guild exhibit In the fine arts galleries of the Omaha Public library. She has also worked In leathers and silver. Florentine leathers are so much the fashion she made a .pair of leather book ends that are the envy of her friends. To do this she first tooled her pattern, applied gold leaf, and later rich colorings. The Petersons will give a housewarming the first of the year.

First, how should a girl J do when a boy Is taking his leave t aftfr tailing upon her in the eve ’ nlhg. Second, how should a girl respond when a boy thanks her for a pleas J ant evening spent at a party in her home. Please answer. BETTY. I Bid the hoy a friendly good night. I Go to the door with him unless there | » is a servant to show him out. Se" | l that he has his hat and coat and J help him to “get away." People: • have more trouble In getting away J than In making an entrance. It 1 J • aji art to leave, quietly, quickly and • ‘^eerily. It Is your duty to rnak' | the going easy nnd graceful for your guest. When the boy thanks you for a good time at your party, tell him I you were very glad to have him, | end If he hag no other girl and you j , like him, tell him you hope he will • call sometime. ! Swede: You did what many an other has done, tried to cover your embarrassment by getting angry. It * was very unfortunate, of course, that • you and this young man didn't dance ‘ well together. If you have written one letter of * etiology to the young man, you • should not write another. The * chances are he received it. The only f thing for you now Is to act like a i sensible, well-meaning girl. If you ever have a chance to talk to the yoUng man, be frank and explain. You were not entirely to blame, * hoyvever. If the young man took i you to a dance, he should have asked J yoti for more than one dance. If ' ydu couldn't possibly dance together. • it. was as much his place as yours, t to mention the matter In a kindly way and come to an agreement ahout what to do. At least he could have sat the numbers out with you. The real trouble is that both of you were so embarrassed and humiliated over the dance that you forgot to be kind and polite. Mrs. t'lihappy: if your husband dags n’t deserve your faith and trust, lie can't expect to have them. Have you helped him In every way possi ble? Perhaps he is one of the weak J characters toward whom stronger > people must be helpful and sympa J I hello rather than Impatient and In * tolerant. # I Housewife's Idea Box | f f I f ■ » * To Rfinovo (Wo* Stain* From a Tablecllth.

THE HOrSEWIFK 1 (Copyright. | Miss Information | Tuesday Musical Head Returns Home for Concert. Mrs. A. D. Dunn, president of the Tuesday Musical club, has returned from Chicago where she attended a number of concerts, omitting, how ever. the appearance of Tito Schipa. famous tenor who sang to a crowded auditorium.

Fails—Agnes, the Paris milliner, is launching jewelry of large gold metal beads, to take the place of the white silver ones that have been so success ful this summer, Mme. Agnes herself Is wearing her pendants and a ring made of these large gold heads and the effect Is very smart. I.ouisehonlanger Is selling new fans made of thick paper suggesting wrap ping paper, on which are encrusted futurist deslgris made of transparent colored paper of the sort called ".lava" here, and used for lamp shades. A fashionable Purls shop is launch ing a bracelet on which Is attached a little vanity case, taking the place of the watch, although naturally in larger proportions. From the center of the box hangs a little silk tassel. From le Touquet comes the report that bright colors either In the entire outfit or combined with beige or brown are the feature of this year's golf costumes. I --— - A Wife's Confessiufud Adple Garrison's New Tliase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE (Copyright. 1954.) __ ✓ The Kxplanation of the Tussling Red Taper Thai Leaped Into Madge's Mind. Katie’s face mirrored such Ingenuous triumph that I repressed the crisp comment upon her foolishness which was upon my lips when she handed me the half of the Chinese laundry ticket to which she evidently ac corded so much significance. "Where did you get this, Katie?" I asked quietly. She tossed her head ns she made what I knew was meant to he a crushing retort. "Right oonder v I n do w vere you sleep.” she said airily. "Har! liar! 1 guess you tink. now your poor Katie not so much fool after all sen she tell you dot old Chinese laundryman oop to eometings ven he room here, pretending he vanted gif you some lings nice: I vish I had him here. I wring hees yellow neck for heern shoost like I do schickons.” For once I was glad of her vol uhlbillty. Tt helped me to hide the sudden perturbation T had felt at the sight of that small red piece of paper. With a sudden wrenching adjust ment of ideas, T remembered the flat sprawling footprints I had seen upon the dust of the veranda roof the night before. I had told myself that either moccasins, woolen bedslippers or sandals had covered those feet of the unknown marauder. "Sandals Chinese sandals!" I re peated with the words to myself with a sudden eerie Uttling feeling that I was standing upon the threshold of something sinister, menacing. Then a commonplace explanation of the torn laundry ticket occurred to me, and witii a relieved little laugh, 1 turned to Katie. Madge Admonishes Katie "This Is easily explained," I said didactically. "You know Mr. Gra ham's room also overlooks that side of the house. You know, too—you ought to, you have had to plek up after him often enough—that he has a had hahit of throwing papers through the window or •door, which ever is nearest to him. This, no doubt. Is one of his old laundry tickets." "Mavhe go, male so," Katie admit ted. palpably daunted by this ex planation, hut as plainly still uneon vlnred. "You go along, don't believe nodinga I tell you, shoost laugh about my foolishness, hut sometimes maybe you tink your poor Katie noi sooeh fool ns she looks." I saw strong premonitory symp toms of one of my little maids tan truma, ami stepped toward her quick, ly, throwing an arm across her shoo! der. "I know that vou are one of the best friends I have. Katie." I said sincerely, "and that you are onlv anxious for me. But really worrying about the laundry ticket Is foolish. I am sure It is one of Mr. Graham's old ones. However, I think It will be Well for you and dim to keep a look out. and if you see any trace of a suspicious around. let lie know. There! Does that satisify you?" “You tink I leet doot Jeem vait until you tell me dot?" she remained scornfully. "I tell dot Jeem shoosi as soon as I see dot yellow fact rooming and slicking his beeg nose in my kitchen, dot ho has to vatrh efery minute, around dis doomp. 1'ui I vatrh too. Kef anybody, old laun dryman or anybody else, get at you or dot babee, dey do r t afer my dead Ixjdy und dot Jeem's." Katie drew herself up snd folded her arms In the most approved fash ion of the melodramatic heroine But there was something genuine be hind her ludicrous melodrama which brought a lump into my throat and a warm little sense of security to m> heart. "I know that, Katie," I said warm ly. "and now 1 must tell you about breakfast We want an especially early one, for Mr Graham is going to the city for a few days, and Jnn will have to drive him to the first train. Mother Graham Is going south with young Mrs. 1 Mirkee and her sister, and I am going to drive her to Marvin this morning, taking Jun ior and Marion with me. We want to start as early as possible, so hurry all you can.” "All right, I feex," and then T retailed Mother Graham’s breakfast Order to her, laying especial stress upon the things which my captious mother-in-law had emphasized. Katie listened attentively, hut when I had finished, her mouth quirted at the corners into the saury grin I knew so well, and she remarked demurely: "Kef dot old voman efer fall in vater down south vere old alligators ate, I bet your boots dose alligators start ronning away qveek. Dey nefer tackle her!" Prettiest Mile Club. Mrs. K. I. Hoyt will entertain at dinner Wednesday night at the I’ret tiest Mile club. Her guests will In clude Mr. and Mrs, J. T.
