Our Antediluvian Ideas
Of Summer Girls Are
Becoming Quite' Passe
Summer days are fleeting and our
ambitious Omaha girls are storing
tip treasure for the months to come.
Our antediluvian conception of the
summer , girl, gowned in white and
reposing in a hammock, a novel in
one hand and a chocolate in the other
lias gone out of date. We mus re
construct our ideas, for the modern
summer girl labors even more dili
gently during the hot days than she
does when the north winds blow.
Those who remain at home are
found at Red Cross headquarters, a
iwhite apron covering their dainty
frocks, their fingers busy with band
age making, or, they may be at the
canteen, a blue sailor above their
beaming smiles, their minds a con
fused muddle of chocolate sundaes
and lemon sodas.
Then there are those who choose
to glean more knowledge from text
books and the summer days find
them in the class rooms of one of
the universities, gaining fresh inspira
tion under the tutelage of learned
professors. The Columbia Univer
sity at New York seems to be the
Mecca for many of our Omaha' girls,
for quite a number are at the college
this summer. Miss Esther Wilhelm
who was an instructor of Latin and
gymnastics at Bellevue college this
year, is now at Columbia specializing
on these subjects. Other young
women who are enrolled for the
vumtner school include Misses Ruth
Odell, Mildred Foster, Irene Under
wood, Mary N. Austin, Maude Roys,
and Miriam Roe.
if
Omahans who are stopping at the
Broadmoor hotel in Colorado Springs
are Judge and Mrs. VV. D. McHugh
and Mrs. E. C. Brandt
Mrs. and Mrs. C. Z. Gould are in
Minneapolis, where they will spend
the month of August
Mr. and Mrs. C Will Hamilton,

called east by the illness of her father,
left Monday evening for Kimball, O.
Mrs. Lyell Rushton, who has been
spending a few days with Mr. and
Mrs. J. H. Rushton, has returned
to Lincoln.
Mrs. Luther Drake and her moth
er, Mrs. Charles Wilshire, are now
in Minnesota, and will be gone for
several weeks.
National League Notes.
In reference to the rumor recently
circulated that the National League
for Woman's Service is considering
amalgamation with the Red Cross, the
matter was referred , to Miss Grace
Parker; national commandant, and the
following telegram has been received
at the Omaha headquarters by Mrs.
Archibald Smith, chairman of ihe
Omaha branch:
"Mis-statements relating to Na
tional League for Woman's Service
Motor corps, generally circulated :
League corps recognized by the sur
geon general of the United States
army for ambulance and general work
and will continue to develop its uro
gram, keeping its own identity. Wc
have not and have no intention of
amalgamating with the Red Cross."
Glorious Honeymoon.
Apartments there are none in Des
Moines, and what are these attractive
brides' to do? Such was the dilemma
of Captain and Mrs. Robert Burns,
when they evolved a unique plan.
They discovered that they could rent
a tent even though they could not
find an apartment, so pretty Mrs.
Burns is spending the summer days
in a roomy tent near Camp Dodge
and the young captain and his bride
are having a glorious honeymoon.
My Hat Diary J

t
la there anything more fetch
ing than a very large hat, espe
cially when it frames a saucy
little face like Clarice Spooner's.
This particular hat was made of
heavy black satin, its only orna
ment being a huge, wavy bunch
of burnt ostrich on the extreme
left" of the Krim It uraa tiltoH
at such a becoming 'angle, only
rone eye being visible to the cas
ual observer,' and, oh! Clarice
has. such soulful eyes, just the
kind poets rave about, but as I
am only a hat poet, I'm just rav
ing 'about the hat.

Omaha school girls are helping the
Red Cross make buttonholes in the
allotment of 50,000 shirts for the sol
diers. Under the direction of Miss
Helen Thompson and her corps of
manual training teachers, the girls
are working in the school board as
sembly room in the city hall. Tues
day the girls completed eighty-five
shirts, each one having four button
iioles. They do the work beautifully.
Bessie Carlson, a little girl of 14
years, from the Franklin school,
holds the record for fast work. She
completed . the buttonholes in nine
shirts Tuesday.
Miss Marie Jensen was awarded
the "500-hour" pin presented to the
local Red Cross workers who have
credit for that much time.
; "Make the necks of the army
, sweaters big enough for the wearer
: to get his head through it," com
mands Mrs. A. W. Jefferis, chairman
of the knitting department.
Regular man-sized necks are wanted
on all the sweaters instead of the
small holes such as have been fash
ioned on the sweaters which have
been turned into knitting headquar
ters lliis week.
The difficulty, according to the cen
sors, lies in making the crochet re
inforcement at the neck band too
tight.
"From: Red Cross shipping head
quarters, Omaha, Nebraska. To: Red
Cross shipping headquarters, Rome,
Italy." This is the address marked
on two carloads of knitted garments,
surgical dressings and hospital gar
ments just shipped from state head
quarters. These 500 boxes are the work of
every chapter in Nebraska. This is
the first supplies sent to Rome from
this state.

Comfort kits, containing everything
a Sammie might need from a safety
razor to foot powder, "housewives'"
soap, army knives, drinking cups,
tobacco, post cards, Bibles, joke
books and place cards.
A "kit" named "Knit" is the mascot
of the warehouse. This tabby joined
the warehouse forces in answer to an
S. O. S. call sent out by the workers
to save the comfort kits from an in
vasion of mice which threatened to
destroy the kits.
The personality of the maker is to
be seen through the comfort kits
more easily than in other articles be
cause the selection of the articles in
cluded is left to the patriotic "com-feeter."

J EIGHT OFF THE REEL
Mitchell Lewis has completed his
new Northwest Territory feature and
the picture is now being assembled..
Not an interior set was erected for
the entire production. '
William Garwood, who has been
resting on his big California ranch
for a year or more, will return to the
movies soon,' having already had . sev
eral good offers. '
In the new Metro feature, "To Hell
With the Kaiser," there will be a
real hell pictured, with the kaiser as
ruler there and supremely unhappy
in the honor. Another series of
scenes are reproductions of trench
dugouts, Young Men's Christian as
sociation huts and other interesting
bits of the war.
George D. Baker tells vthis about
his new scenario, "As the Sun Went
Down:".
"It is the only scenario I have ever
heard of," he says, "that was written
with and without an appendix."
It is literally true, as baker was
stricken with appendicitis when half
through his work, and completed the
rest while in the hospital.

Charlie Chaplin has a great fond
ness for dumb animals and all the
stray cats and puppies finally land at
his dressing room to be fed. The
other day a couple of t lie troupe dis
covered a pretty black a.nd white kit
ten way out on location, and thinking
of Charlie, they proceeded to corner it
and effect its capture. When they re
turned to the studio the watchful
gateman suggested that they bury
their clothes in a nearby lemon grove,
they sure weren't coming in there.
Two celestials figure prominently in
the action of Bert I yi-'ll's new pic
ture "No Man's Land," and they
looked just alike and no one could
pronounce their Chinese names, which
they, clung to. Finally Danny Ho
gan settled his troubles by calling
the one with the pick Louis Pick and
the .other with the shovel, Charlie
Shovel. The two Chinamen were so
delighted with their new names that
they even gave up their official cog
nomens and are on the payroll with
Hogan's names.
Metro pictures corporation an
nounces that its new films are near
ing completion. Viola Dana is mak
ing "Flower of the Dusk;" Emily
Stevens is working in "Kildare of
the Storm;", and Mme. Nazimova is
far along with her feature, "L'Occi
dent." Ethel Barrymore's new work
will be the screen adaptation of the
Saturday Evening Post stories, "Our
Mrs. McChesney," and Edith Storey
will appear in a new drama written for
her by Lois Zellner. It is a thrilling
story of the Hudson Bay region. May
Allison's new play, "A Successful Ad
venture,", is pleasing to the southern
exhibitors, as it is a story that rings
true down there where Miss Allison
comes from. Francis X. Bushman
and Beverly Bayne are completing a
comedy drama entitled "B6th Mem
bers," and as it is rumored that it
may be the last pbv that Bushman
puts on in the Metro people's service
there is considerable interest in it.
Lawrence Grant, who plays the
'part of the. kaiser in the new feature
drama "To Hell With the Kaiser,"
is an Englishman, so English that he
wears ia monocle most of the time.
In spite of this he is one of the best
known authorities in the world on
the American Indian, in fact has been
adopted into the Blackfeet Piegan
tribe and his official name there is
"Striped Elk," though he is always
called "One Eye ia Eye" on account
of his monocle. Recently a number
of . the Blackfeet tribe visited him at
the studio when he was in costume
as the kaiser and not a one of them
would shake hands with him nor
greet him until he had changed his
costume, for they were on their way
to France to join Uncle Sam's sol
dier's. ' '. 1 '''".
Miss Alexa Stirling, Miss Elaine
Rosenthal, Bobby Jones and Perry
Adair, that youthful quartet of star
golfers, generally referred to as the
"kid" golfers, will soon start on their
long tour of matches in the east for
the benefit of the Red Cross. Thir
teen matches have been arranged,
three of which will be played in the
Metropolitan district. They will play
at the larger clubs in the New Eng
land district, making their last stand
north at the Poland Spring Golf club,
in Maine, on August 7, and will com

Advice to
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Dear MUi Ffilrfax. Omaha Bee: I m In
great Borrow due to the fact that I have
lout my best friend and adviser, my mother.
I have met a very Intelligent younr man
who seems Interested In me and ha asked
permission to call at my horn. I con
sented, but am at- a loaa to know haw to
entertain him In my preaent circumstances,
as mentioned above. IDA Q.
Con't fc frjghteried about ''entertaining "
Omaha Girl Helps to Run v
Uncle Sam's War Machinery
this young man. He probably likes you for
your sweetness, modesty and fin character.
Don't make any effort to Impress him or
struggle to find things to talk about. In
stead, make a little study of him. Find out
what hi Interest art, what work he I do
ing and see If he isn't loqety and at a loss,
Just as you are. Try to give him friend
ship and understanding and sympathy, and
let him talk to you. Trobably he will en
joy expressing himself Just as much, If sot
mora, than he would enjoy hearing you ex
press yourself. Men like to talk about
themselves let him do It.
In Uncle ' Sam's war machinery,
many women have found an outlet for
talents great and small. To no other
young girl has war work opened so
important a door as to Miss Fiances
IJarnhart, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
J. P. Barnhart of this city.
She is one of two women who meet
daily on an advisory board composed
of 28 shipping experts. The work in
her own words is:
"1. To gather data upon which are
compiled the embargo lists of things
which can not be brought into the
United States. '
"2. Present conclusions and memor
andum to the shipping board.
"3. When any serious objections
are made, further research work is
required.
"4. Attend the priority conference,
staff conference and division confer
ence. , , .
"The notice to appear at the latter
meetings is a real step up. The work
taxes the memory and keeps one
thinking fast to prove one's point to
so many experts."
After graduating from the Central
High school Miss Barnhart complet
ed her college course at the Univers
ity of Iowa, specializing in geology.
She was given a scholarship to win
her master's degree at the University
of Chicago.,
It was in April, while working for
this honor, that she was called to
Washington to her present important
work. Miss Edith Jones, the other
woman member of the board, was
chaperone at Beecher Hall, where
Miss Barnhart lived in Chicago. She
is an alumnus of Wellesley and con
siderably the senior of the Omaha
girl, who is but 23 years of age.
Mrs. Barnhart, who is very proud
of her daughter, modestly refrains
from telling the many splendid com
pliments paid to her.
When through her Iowa university
professors she was presented the Chi
cago university scholarship, the
unique distinction was given her be
cause so very few women are endowed
with such a scientific mind, that these
educators desired to enable her to
develop her talent.
After the war Miss Barnhart will
finish her work for her master's de
gree. She will visit he family at
Christmas time.

How Deep Are You feeling f
Dsar Mis Fairfax, Omaha Be: Two
year ago my sweetheart and I bad an un
derstanding that we were to be married ai
aoon t certain circumstances permitted. W
are now engaged and the circumstance ad
Justed but he I In the draft and doesn't
know when he may b lent to France, .
Now, some say we shouki be married
before he goes and I agree, but ha says, al
though he would desire It, It would bo' sacri
ficing me, for .lt he should not return he
could never think of what condition I might
be left in. 1 ANXIOUS.
I approve ; of warmarrtage for women
aud men who are fin enough to dare them
If your feeling are big and strong and you
are ready to eawlflc and uffcr for !lov
and true lov Is always proudly prepared
to endur what It must then marry and
may God bless you. This decision I a mat
ter ot your baslo character and the per
manence of your feelings. No one can guar
antee that emotion ahall last; every one I
now under the Influence of a eartaln hys
teria; but, allowing for all that ate you In
trinsically loyal T Do you care deeply and
generously T Can you contemplate the worst
trsgedles as the result of this msrrlnge and
feel that they are not too much to pay?
Even If you lover wera already In camp,
I would approve of your marriage If you
both are mad of the right stuff and from
your desire to marry him and make htm
happy and . his wish to spare you, I think
you both are true blue. '. ,

Sear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: Is It
proper for me to display a sorvtce flag for
my brother, who Is In the army, though he
did not leave from hersT E. V,
Tea, Indeed. Buy the very prettiest on
you can find and hang It In your largest
window. The boys are as proud of these
emblems as they can be, and I know your
brother would appreciate It If you display
one, too.
Proprieties.
Mis Beatrice Fairfax, Omaha Bee: Will
you please tell me which Is considered
proper, for the girl to take the boy's arm
while walking or the boy to take the girl's
arm? BABE.
The young man takes the girl's arm
when crossing a street, or any place wher
as may be of assistance to her while walk
ing. It Is not In good taste for the girl to
take the man' arm, although you often see
people walking this way.
For Shame.
near Mia Fairfax: I am 21 years old
and engaged to a man four years older,
now In France. Almost every sentence In
the letters I receive from him convinces m
that ha ha still retained his affection to
ward me. However, I have decided to
discontinue answering his letters slnoe he
persists In writing about his popularity with
the girls "Over There."
Now, Mis Fairfax, don't you think that
I am just! ted. LOLA M.
Of course I do not think you Justified
In an attitude of petty Jealousy. This boy Is
