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.
' FOR VISITING GIRLS.
With three charming out-of-town
girls in our m'dst the luncheons, teas
and motor p' ' s are almost over
lapping each .ier this week. Miss
Zadelle Smith of Los Angeles, who is

a former Omaha girl, and, as her

Miss .Maynard will share honors at a
motoir picnic given by Miss Adelyn
Wood this evening.

Braiden, of Rochelle, 111., is visiting

residents of the Masonic home at

a number of vocal selections.
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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Checks for the
Summer Girl
By GERTRUDE BERESFORD
THE summer girl will have a "check
ered career." for inrieerl. rlaio-ne
in regular and broken checks are well
in the lead of summer fabrics. 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.

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
