THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY. DECEMBER 11. iyi7.
Uif MELLIFICIADec. 10.
School Set Home for Holidays.
"All aboard for home!" What
welcome sound to the numerous
school girls scattered from the Atlan
tic coast to the Pacific. And with
what eagerness their arrival is waited
by the friends and relatives of the
young students. In Omaha is this
especially true. There is a great ex
odus from here every fall of our girls
for the various schools, most of them
in the east, and Christmas would be
but a mockery if they did not return
to celebrate in their home city.

Does "what somcone else thinks" ever stand in your way? Do you
care a great deal what other folks say? In shaping your plans and taking
your stands do you act in a half-hearted way?
Ah, beware!
Of course you like friends every one of us does but are they ever
made staunch and true because you acquiesce to their every expression?
No, indeed! The "me too" people. are the rubbish in the realm of thought
they are nothing. They are the, more or less, inconsequential fillers of so
ciety. They never venture and they never gain because that terrible fear
ot what someone else will think weights down every ambition.
How Friends Are Made.
True friendship is made because you are true; because you have con
victions, even though they may be opposite to those of your friends. You
gain the respect and then love of people because of principle, honor,
truthfulness, and, honesty; because of originality and strength of character;
because you are worth while not because you are on every side that
happens to be presented. 1
There is a wise little "me" who dwells within every body. "Me" should
be the counsellor, the judge in the court of last appeals.
Your Best Counsellor.
Only with the "me" as your guide will you ever artiount to anything;
only with the "me" planning your course will you achieve that which is
worth while; only with "me" dictating and moulding your principles will
your character be worthy; only with the "me" fighting your battles for
right will you win over th enemy "cowardice" lurking around to draw
you under the subservient waters of life.
The more courage you have the more friends will be true to you.
Counsel "me" within you and what someone else thinks will fade into
oblivion.

She Believes in Little
Women's Rights
She believes in little women's
rights. It happened at the "children's
mass" Sunday, on the snow-covered
steps of St. John's Catholic church.
As usual, the "male of the species"
led the line of march and reached
warm pews without mishap. At the
instant tiny maidens sought to cross
the threshhold they were thrust back
ward. Grownups crowded and
pushed them aside: Little feet grew
colder. Little spines shivered, Then-
"I s'pos we'll have to wait another
century," remarked a wee prophetess.
There was a pause almost a stam

Advice to Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
To Jilt a Girl.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am 22 and have
been going about with a lady two yearn my
Junior, to whom I am engaged.
After threel years I find I do not love
her enough to marry her, but I have not
the courage to tell her my feelings, as
everything haa been arranged and the wed
ding date set.
Aft'-r giving the matter serious eonsld
eratlon I finally came to the conclusion that
it would be best to marry her and, undoubt
odly, after our marriage I will learn to love
her more.
Do you think I am taking the right step
or would you advise me to tell her exactly
how I fell. J. Q
My dear boy, aren t you a bit of a
shirker Don t you aee that you have no
right to ask anyone else to make your de
cision for y6u7 Don't be mentally lazy
Just sit down and figure out the thng
sanely, what do you mean when you say
that you find you do not care enough for
the Klrl you have loved for three veara to
Mrs Harry ! g0 t"TOU" w" yur Jiarrlage now that the
aaie ii sec. a greai many people get a
little uncertain and nervous when they be
gin to realize the Importance of the step
they are taking, if you care enough for the
girl so that rather than cause her un
happiness you are willing to sacrifice your
own perhaps your love is very real after
all. Figure out the sincerity of your love
and the sincerity of your doubt. Try to
decide which way you will cause the girl
more happiness by giving her up now or by
marrying her and letting your tendency to
changeablenesa make you both morbid. I
don't know enough about either one of yoa
to advise you seriously. The only counsel
I can give Is: Take counsel with yourself:
reckon It all out In terms of "for and
against." 1

Dear Miss i Fairfax: I have been going
about with a young man. We have learned
to love each other. He Is anxious to be
come acquainted with father and mother, so
I asked if I could receive him at our home.
Why do my parents refuse, saying I cvuld
do whatever I choose outside, but that I
could not have any young men at the 'house.
U. I.
As you tell your little story your parents
are a complete puzzle to me. It sounds as
If their Judgment was very poor (and I
hate to make any suggestion which sounds
lacking In respect to parenthood). I really
feel that It Is to tham I must write rather
than you. They owe you the protection of

seeds the privilege of having her friends
In her own house and that when a young

else she likes she is being shoved Into

How far the ramifications of the

the war work is doing in cementing

Boyd county.
Bristow, with a population of 1
inhabitants, numbers 160 members in
the Red Cross. There was one vol
unteer soldier to every six in
habitants, so no men were drafted
from this district. At a rccent Christ
mas sale to obtain funds for Red
Cross work $1,140 was cleared in
one day. One rooster was sold and
resold until he brought $202. He will
be stuffed and placed in the bank

helped win the war."

Though hell be all unbound.
Compassion's fiery cross, whose glow
Shall down the years unwearied go
Till men themselves and Ood shall know
And love at last La crowned.
