THE BEE: OMAHA. WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 12. lyiT. Ella Fleishman ASS'T EDITOR- a. IT? . 4 VyMELLIFlCIADec.U. Vuletide Spirit Subdued. Our first wartime Christmas! Will it be the same, jolly, holly-wreathed Christmas that "we have always known? I hardly think so. To my mind it will be a cheery Christmas, but a simpler one. With so many of our boys far away the thoughts of many families will be with the absent ones and the merry-making will have a subdued note, without a doubt. The Christmas parties as they loom up on the social horizon are mostly afternoon affairs. The reason is very obvious few men. Knitting parties, luncheons and aft ernoon teas are the popular affairs now-a-days. I have noticed, too, at the theaters and foot ball games the little crowds of girls who come to gether. It seems as though the young "society girls are just beginning to realize how much tun tney can have together. With so many of the young girls entering the business world, and the young matrons, too, it begins to ap pear as if there would be a dearth of even afternoon functions. It is really appalling how many erstwhile so ciety girls cannot be reached at their homes until "after office hours." I meet many of them these crisp mornings, not at 10 o'clock, if you please, but at 8:30, striding along with a very purposeful light in their eyes and a little red shorthand manual un der their arm. And, yet you -say, there must be some who are not contemplating a business career. True, there are, but the rest can be found only at the Red Cross rooms, instructing or waking surgical dressings. These are certainly busy times ana I am eaeef to see if these conscien tious young women will don their party frocks and forget "Yours of the 14th instant received and contents noted" during the holiday time. Military JAtmosphere at Wedding. The bridal party of Miss Alice Van Burgh, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Van Burgh, will march in to the stirring strains of the "Marseil laise this evening at the Kountze Memorial church, where the marriage of Miss Van Burgh to Lieutenant Emil Willrodt will take place. Rev. O. D. Baltzly will read the marriage lines. Preceding the ceremony Mrs. Free mont Benjamin will play patriotic " irs and Miss Christine Paulson will Bing, "I Love You Truly" and "Be cause." The patriotic decorations will be carried out in the church, American flags and the huge service flag of the church bearing 76 stars being used. The bride's gown will be of pink tulle combined with silver lace. A long tulle veil held in place with a band of pearls will complete the costume and she will carry a shower bouquet of white roses. Miss Ada Van Burgh, sister of the bride, who will be bridesmaid, will be . gowned in pink .maline over . pink satin and will carry a shower bouquet of pink roses. . Lieutenant Frank Malm will act as best man. . The two little ring-bearers, Lyons Huke and Margaret Allenwill carry the ring" hr a lily. Master Lyons will wear a diminutive soldier's suit and little Margaret will, be dressed in white'. -! The bridal party will leave the church to the strains of the national l air, the soldiers standing at attention as they pass out. -' A reception will be held at the home of the bride's parents following the ceremony! The young couple will, not take a wedding trip, as Lieutenant Willrodt will leave Friday for Camp Funston, where he will be stationed for some time. Mrs. Willrodt will make her home with her parents for the present. . If paraffin oil and ater be put into n sprinkling pot and all places where flies breed and increase in thousands be sprinkled with the mixture, the eggs will be destroyed and the house hold be spared an intolerable nuisanjee and a real danger. Sometimes It Takes a Woman to Put It Over THE constructing quartermaster of one of the large army canton ments recently came bowling across the camp high on the seat of a huge supply truck. Suddenly a young gir1 stepped into the roaJ ahead and threw up her hands to nop. The big machine came to a grinding halt a foot away from her. The offi cer, who will be called Major Doe, to circumvent possible censorship, de manded the reason for the imperative signal. "Are you Major Doe?" queried the pretty fc.rl, who was modishly tailored m a smart checked suit and wore a mannish felt hat becomingly. The of ficer admitted his identity. "I am Miss Pat McCoy of Omaha, major, soling plumbing fixtures," was the astonishing remark from the maid, "and I want to see what I can do for your camp." "Verv sorrv. I'm too busy to talk," briefly replied the officer, and gave the driver orders to start ahead. He had reckoned withojt Miss McCoy, however. "Wait moment; I'm com ing along," she cried, and, suiting ac tions to words, literally climbed aboard. Before the truck had arrived at its destination she had sold the camp a $10,000 order of her tfoods. At other cantonments also her suc cess has been phenomenal. Relying not a bit upon her sex, casting aside all of the ingenuishness of many women salesman, she adopts a brisk, strictly businesslike manner and sells the goods. Her largest order on her tour of the cantonments has been that of $10,000, but at one camp recently visited her aggregate of several or ders was over $35,0(K and Miss Mc Coy works on commission. Miss ItcCoy is jus; 21, she admits. She has visited Camp Funston, Camp Doniphan, Fort Riley and Fortj Siil, Camp Dodge and others, and is now on a tour of the southwestern can-tonmentsi I 0 ? J When Milady Goes Shopping Neat, pretty and comfy is the little home in which we entertain our friends : : By ADELAIDE KENNERLY. TODAY we must se'ect an art squar . for our living room. Smalf rugs are pretty enough, but dangerous they trip, slip and slide over waxed and varnished floors in a uncertain route. On one of the top floors of any fur niture house or department store there are racks and piles of art squares from Krex and rag to velvet and ori ental. Just tell the salesman (usually a man in these departments) how much money you wish to part with and he will direct you to the proper section, where you may select tones and colors to harmonize with your other furnishings. . '. , Window Problems. Windows present another problem to the busy woman of limited means and it may be gratifying to know that pretty madras is right here in the shops for as little as 21 cents a yard. Creton and other materials in varie gated colors are used "for draperies and. valances. The clever woman can make these herself, although the mer chants have departments for this work, and it is done at a minimum cost. But we must have some kind of a lounging place. What shall it be? A day bed, of course Have you seen those substantial, comfortable new affairs with small head and foot boards? They are equipped with high grade mattresses, splendid springs and automatic slides. When the day bed is clasped together and dressed in a neat cover of creton with a pillow of the same at both ends there is no evidence of a real big, wide, comfortable bed. Hurrah! Our living room now has a library-dine, which we may use as both library or dining table the change' is made by pressing a button. Our chairs are the arm and up holstered kind, fit for any reception room, and we have two rockers for PERSONALS comfort. Our general utility or work table is drop-leaved and has a spread ing asparagus :ern on it, but inside the drawers, we have sewing, writing and a dozen other things. Coming Along Nicely. Our boudier lamp is lighted under a rose shade and towers 18 inches above the library-dine, on which it' stands. The art square is on the floor, new and beautiful, and the madras curtains and creton drapes dress the windows in the latest style. Over in one corner is our lovely day bed wait ing to rest tired friends. Neat, pretty and comfy is the Jittle livme room in which we make al home and entettain our friends.

Herbert Hoover In Good Housekeeping. III: Economic JieJ &v jfM H Gross HOVSIHOIO ARTS VEPT CJCIfTfiAL HIGH SCHOOL Dressings for Poultry. Any kind of poultry assumes a more festive air if it appears on the table accompanied by dressing. Also the good housewife realizes that dress ing makes any poultry "go farther." Hence the whole famity agrees, "Dressing, please." All stuffings are but variations upon the same theme. Given bread, cereal or potatoes as a foundation, add fat for richness, egg to hold the mixture together (not always necessary) and plenty of good seasoning a delicious dressing results. The secret of qual ity lies in the seasoning and the lightness, but cspesially in the season ing. STANDARD BREAD PRF.SSIN'G. ono-ltioh slices stale brtad. Oolil water. T. malted fat.

A good way to illustrate this point would be through comparison of baking powders. Experience has taught me and mill ions of other women that it doesn't pay to buy cheap baking powders. They cost a few cents less, but in the long run they are decidedly the most expensive. Because of -the low grade materials employed in their manufacture they cause many bake day failures and great loss of expensive ingredients. The housewife throws out, in wasted materials many times the amount saved on the cost of the baking pow der. This is not economy, but extravagance. True economy in baking powder demands the highest quality at the lowest price. Only baking powders that meet these demands should be used. Only baking powder that is made of the highest class ingredients so perfectly proportioned that it not only produces maximum leavening power but also pristrvtt it. . Besides, the baking powder that meets the modern demand for economy should be economical in use full strength economical in cost ; secured at a moderate price. The housewife should be able to effect a saving when buying and another saving When using and she should save materials it is used with. That is economy in its hip-hest form. Complete economy. The only kind of econ omy the housewife should attempt. I have proved positively by exhaust ive experiments and comparative tests that Calumet Baking Powder is best suited to these savings. It possesses the surety, the purity and goodness that make constant employment of utmost baking economy possible. Note. Miss Costetio is already well known to most of tht ladki of our city.
