THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, MAY 21; 1918. 9 Conducted by Ella Fleishman irrm u7Mniiivyiim wvnifj TjKim: niYMrin- t By MELLIFICIA. 5ocuzZ WorW Enlisted In Red Cross Drive The Red Cross drive is onlLovely girls in long veils and white gowns passed up the church aisles Sunday morning and to each worshipper a small envelope was given for their pledge to the cajse of God and hu manity.' , ' v . , No one could refuse these white veiled supplicants, and even tiny America gave her mite. Just a wee lassie she was, but she had one nickel clasped tightly in her chubby hand. Standing by the great church door in St. Johns, she laboriously wrote her ' name in round, childish characters on the envelope and then very solemnly dropping in the nickel, she handed it to the young woman at the door. All our society 'women have donned their Red Cross insignia and gone forth to mobilize-every available dol lar all on a Monday morning. Mrs. Frank Judson as the generalissimo has on her staff our most prominent k and efficient women, who are deter mined to make this Red Cross drive the most successful one in history. To Mrs. VV. D. Hosford belongs the credit of the success of the drive in the Catholic churces on Sunday, for she is chairman of that branch, and Mrs. W. J. Hynes successfully campaigned the Protestant churches. ' Mrs. J. E. Davidson has the im portant position of chairman of the booths in the stores, and under her leadership the most prominent society women in town will be found at their posts in the department stores and hotels. Mrs. C. W. Axtell will lead the club women in their important part in the work and Mrs. Lee Huff has been named chairman of the Red Cross auxiliaries. The miscellaneous committee is a most important one and includes: Confectioners, Mrs. J. W. Hughes; florists, Mrs. George Engler; Women's National Service league, Mrs. William Archibald Smith. The huge Red Cross in the front of the campaign headquarters shines out as a beacon directing all loyal Americans 'to the fund, where their dollars will accomplish the most toward keeping the spirit of liberty iflame in the world.

Water Damage to Flour It is a well known fact among sail ors that flour will not only float after immersion in sea water, but suffers vsrv little damage. To ascertain the actual damage, says the Northwestern Miller, a baker in New South Wales submerged a baj of flour in the ocean and left it in the water 67 hours. A 98-pound weight was necessary to sink a ISO-pound bag, .which would have supported 75 pounds on top of the,, water, it Is estimated, or half its own? weight. When lifted and weighed. thre bag scaled 155 pounds. It was dried for four days and yielded 120 nounds nerfectlv drv .flour, the bag and waste weighing 28 pounds. Baked iato. bread, it five perfect results. u York Girl Bride of Omaha Officer Lovely garden flowers lent their variegated hues to form a spring-time setting for the wedding of Miss Mary Clarke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Clarke, to Lieutenant Virgil Rector of Omaha, which took place Friday evening at the home, of the . bride's parents in York, Neb. The large win dows in the living room were banked with the purple iris, rosy tulips and snowy spirea and here and the mar riage vows were spoken, Rev. Mr. Adams officiating. The bride was charming in her blue silk suit with large blue hat, trimmed with tiny French resebuds. The wed ding supper had to be foregone, for these military weddings are always on the fly, you know (both of them prominent in the school set), and the young lieutenant and his bride hurried away for a bit of a honey moon before going to Camp Dodge, where he is stationed. Miss Betty Robertson, who is a student at Principia, is expected home in about two weeks for the summer vacation. Mrs. Mary Haller Burnstein is visit ing in Omaha as the guest of Mrs. Howard White at Fort Omaha and Miss Mary Riley at the Blackstone. Miss Grace Johnson leaves Tuesday for Des Moines, where she will spend several days visiting her sister, Mrs. Charles F. Shook, and Lieutenant Shook. Mr. Myer Fridstein of Chicago spent the week-end with Mrs. Fridstein, who is visiting at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sol Bergman. Mrs. R. P. Conklin and daughter, Ruth Willsine, will leave Tuesday for San Antonio, Tex., to join Lieutenant Conklin, who has recently been trans ferred to San Antonio, having com pleted his course at the technical school at Atlanta, Ga. Mrs. George R. Cathro of Denver, who has been visiting her mother, Mrs. M. Rutter, since January, left today to join Mr. Cathro in Los An geles, later going to Berkeley, Cal., where they will make their future home. Mrs. Cathro's stay here has been prolonged on account of the illness and death of her aunt, Mrs. Esther Fobes. Advice to the Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. A Girl's Influence. Dear ' Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: For perhaps about the last couple of months I have been reading your "Advice to the Lovelorn," and laughed over the many fool ish questions which were asked, for they seemed to me so foolish. And yet, I am writing to you for advice, which perhaps Is also very foolish, although, of course. It Is Verg, serious with me. I am a girl of IS years. He loved me more than any girl for I was so different than they. This boy has had a bad repu tation, but he said since we have been going together he has never been better and he also has a better reputation. My parents objected to me going with him, but Miss F, I couldn't, because I knew and do know I have helped him In many different ways tor he got absolutely drunk once and I gave him up entirely and he begged for me. I will be IT years old In January. I am very good looking so people have told me and pardon me for saying it, for anything I dislike is being conceited. I have very curly hair, so, of course, I suppose that is the reason. I am going, or rather I have been going with a boy now for nearly two years, but not steady, only for a about the last year, for, of course, t waa too young and prob ably yet, but Miss Fairfax, I really love him and he had asked me to have him as a friend, but I refused until his mother told me I waa the only one who could do i anytning lor mm, so I said I would try him and he la fine so far, until about a week ago he started to go with two older girls, who swear terribly and are really what you might call tough and he hasn't paid tho least attention to me and this is my Question, what shall I do? Is he tired of me trying to make him have a good reputation, since ha told me I waa too particular, because I wouldn't let him smoke around me. Fleace print this In The Bee. WORRIED. Why waste your time and efforts on this boy, who evidently doe not care for your Interest? If he tias slipped back Into his old waya it would not seem that your Influence had been very lasting. We hear a great deal about woman's Influence In reforming man. but examples of Ita success are rare. Too Young. Dear Miss Fairfax. Omaha Bee: As I hava been reading your advice to the love lorn I thought you could advise me. I am 18 years old; have been going with a boy a year and a half, who la 1. When I went . with him for some time he was very kind to ma. and also spoke of marriage, but from that time he waa cruel to me, and whenever I wanted to go to aome place he doea not want to go to make me feel bad, and when '' we go he always finds something that would hurt my feelings or makes mi mad, or when I look at any boy he saya I want him and that I can have him, and he even said that he wishes, he waa free, I told him he can ! bt free if ha wanted to be. Be laid, ae J Mrs. Fred Hamilton has promised to raise $5,000 for the Nebraska base hospital unit, No. 49. A car, donated to the Red Cross, will be disposed of to help raise the fund. Mrs. Ham ilton, one of Omaha's most attractive matrons, may be seen today and for the text few days driving the fine seven-passenger car. She is accom panied by three others, chosen chiefly because they are good to look upon. They wear blue war sailors, banded with white, upon which is placed a Red Cross in front The car bears a Red Cross on the wind shield. The others riding with Mrs. Hamilton are Mesdames Blaine Young, John Mad den and Miss Helene Bixby. Mrs. A. Parson, instructor of the Valley Red Cross auxiliary, which has just become part of the Omaha chap ter, is in Omaha taking ( special in structions In the newest army surgi cal dressings. : The base ball came between the base hospital unit and the Brandeis team, held Saturday at Rourke park, netted $1,400 for the hospital fund. Commencement Themes Should Be War Topics Commencement themes this year should all deal with war topics, the woman's committee, Nebraska Coun cil for Defense, urges. Prof. Sarka Hrbkova, chairman, and Miss Alice Florer, chairman of the department of educational propoganda, have is sued the following suggestions for graduation essays: "First year of the war and what this na tion nan accomplished." "A contrast of this war and former ones." "The war utterances of our president." "Why we must win the war." "The defenses of our country." "German intrigue and propaganda In the United States." "Is war only a man's Job?" "The closer relationships of nations brought about by the war." "The hlstorlo papers of this war." "German war practices and what would happen tf we lose the war." "Loyalty to our country what It means." "A vision of a new world after the war." "Submarine warfare Is It Justifiable?" "Historical ateps leading to the war." "A comparison of German and American forms of government." "New Inventions results of the war." "Women's part In the war." "Is this a war of self-defense T" "The battle for democracy." "How can food win the wart" "What will Germany's expansion In the east mean to us?" "Value of individual effort in an Interna tional crisis." "What does democracy mean?" "Aviation its value In the war. "What must I do to help win the war?" "Commanders of the allied armies." "American principles and American policies." "The economlo and social changes which may follow the winning of the war." "What Is patriotism?" f didn't mean it, and the next time he had something again that way. It Is whenever we go to any place. My schoolmate came over one day. I told him once I won't talk tJ him; as ' I was here alone I had to talk. When he heard It he had an other fit and aald he won't believe me any more. I also had his ring and lost the stone. He asked me to give It to him, that he would put another one In place. Ha says he loves, me and I love him, too, but If ha Is going to make me unhappy I am willing to forget him. Hope to see my advice In Wednesday's Bee. Thanking you In ad vance, I am, TItyLY. I would certainly advlsu you to forget thta boy. In the first place you are both too young for lova affairs and It la very evident that you are far from congenial. Try and make other friends among the young people, but treat the young- men aa friends, not lovers. ' Worried. Miss Beatrice Fairfax, Omaha Bee: Miss Fairfax, I am a girl of IS and am In love with a boy 18. I have gone with this boy for nearly two years and went with him while he had a very bad reputation. But after I began going with him for about a year he told me he loved me because I was so different from any other girl and because I wouldn't let hlra have any lib erties which ha wanted to. He has a fair reputation now. My mother did not know I went with him until not very long ago and disapproved qf It very much when she found it out and wanted me to quit going with him. I wouldn't, nor I can't, because I think I am doing quite a bit for him. Even others have told me this, and lately mother has let ,11111 IU1UO W DCQ III. UDCB litft WIlllO. Alld I I certainly am glad, for I don't like to go ! with any one my mother doesn't approve of. Well, my question is, what shall I do? For night before last he went with a girl and baa been going with other girls who don't care how much he smokes or swears around them, etc.; and he seems to be tired of me. What shall I do? Please answer this in The Bee. MISS A. VANDBR. Ton are not engaged to this boy aad so, of course,, he feels free to go with other girls. Why don't you, In turn, make other boy friends? Invite a few of them to your home some evening for an Informal party. Toung people of your age can have such a good time If they go about together. I think you have been too kind to this boy, for he evidently docs not appreciate It. 1- Speeding Business THE HOTEL of perfect service will speed your busineu by preventing the petty annoyances that dis tract from your purpose.

It takes a "regular" check to pay for these "simple, girlish gowns" when bought in the exclusive shops. Hap pily they are easy to copy with the help of the seamstress, or by a clever girl herself. This frock of rose and white checked voile of the thinnest weave has a waist of sheer white or gandie, banded, collared and buttoned with the checked material. This model is altogether lovely and quite easy to make. RED CROSS BENEFIT. A lawn social will be given Thurs day evening at the home of Mrs. N. P.

Real Happiness Achieved Only in : Contributing Something to World By BEATRICE FAIRFAX AH ot us want the same thing hap piness. We go through life searching for it And when we find it, we don't recognize it- This has been said before by writ ers too numerous to mention. No one ever said it more beautifully than did Maeterlinck, the Belgian poet and philosopher, in "The Bluebird." Mityl and Tityl go hand inj hand through kingdoms of the world, and beyond the world find the bluebird of happi ness. They come home at last to their little cottage, and in the case that swings there the brother and sister find the bluebird. And, finding it, they free it for the rest pf the world to possess. Most of us do go wandering about hunting for happiness, and there it is all the while right at home. It isn't a mysterious, unusual, elusive bluebird it is nothing we can cage it is just the simple peace that comes from well doing and kindness and the content ment real honest effort brings. Some of us find happiness in dreams which we never strive to fulfill those of us are weak. The strong, too, must dream, only they follow and strive, to capture work and to make dreams come true. After all, when Kipling wrote "For the Colonel's Lady and Judy O'Grady Are Sisters Under Their bkms, he told. a great, big, vital truth. AH of us are alike all of us want the same things, comfort and success are the way some of us put it to others it can mean no more than a roof over the head and enough to eat. What we want is always just a .little more than we possess. The only real unhappiness is in having no desires, in being too blase or too stupid to have visions and longing for their fulfill ment in being dull and lethargic and completely "tied up" by dull prosper ity which we have done nothing to earn. All Meet Sorrow. All of us have to meet bitten heart breaking sorrows. We have to bend before them now and then, however brave we are. Some of them are un conquerable. There are minor ills, however, which can be conquered by gripping yourself, meeting or defeat ing them and cheerfully assuring your self that you can get beyond them to the good and the desirable. There is a certain satisfaction in knowing you have fought and con quered these difficulties. Go on and do the day's work with an under current of desire to find the blue bird of happiness and suddenly you will discover that you have been so interested in your work that you haven't time to miss happiness or to notice whether or not you are ac tually happy. That's the joy of be ing busy it keeps you from being morbid enough to analyze your own state of mind. Do you realize that we are making a little journey and passing a series of landmarks. We thought we wanted to be happy but that self-centered, selfish desire possessed us. But we had to do the day's work. So with a little vision of beauty we set off and found ourselves getting interested in our job. At night there came a cer tain satisfaction. That satisfaction meant an inner joy at having been pirt of the world building process. So work brought a certain cheer per haps that ill itself is happiness? Real Happiness. Well, it is. Real happiness comes from contributing something to the world, not in taking something from it. Cccile has her own roadster; her father has a limousine, a touring car and an electric Her home is beautiful. She can order hundred-and-fifty-dol-lar dresses without taking thought of who will pay the bill. But when she gets up in the morning an aimless day lies ahead. She hasn't any real goal in view. She's just going to kill time. She sits out a dance at the Country club, and that makes her miserable. Her beloved Norman falls in love with her chum. Cecile is "heart-broken." She has no work to make her forget herself no duties to take her out of herself; she is just given over to complete, absorbing, self-centered misery. She has a dreadful time and is pathetically sorry for herself-s-every-one i sorry for her, poor thing And yet you envy her-j-you, Judy O'Grady, who get up morning and hurry out to your job as waitress on the early shift in the cafe. But the good-looking head waiter likes you admires your neat, efficient ways. Per haps you, will fall in love and marry and be happy. Perhaps he will turn from you to that Nelson girl, and you will be pretty miserable for a time, too. j But you won't have much time to think how miserable you are because you need your $30 a month and tips. And you have to earn them. Earning them means remembering roast beef SPECIAL CASH PRICES Summer Dre sses , For Street, Porch and Office Vear Loads of the prettiest dresses-all so rightly priced for "style" and "quality" and "price."

You can't think about your own misery when you're remembering orders. Your work saves you. Cecile's broken heart makes her a cynical, neurasthenic woman.
