THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1918. Conducted by Ella Fleishman ft mem inn Athletic Club's Opening Takes Place of Ball on Social Horizon. By royal decree, King Ak hat de prived his loyal subjects of the coro nation ball and the social prospects began to look dull gray, indeed. But with the opening of the new Athletic club, the gray clouds are tinged with rose and we will scarcely miss the usual crowning of the king and queen in the midst of all the festivities. A very important committee meet ing took place Tuesday at the new club when the plans for the formal opening were discussed. The men will give us only a hint of the details and they laugh tantalizingly when questioned. We have visions of a very formal dinner dance, however, and it is safe to say that every Oma ha matron and maid will perhaps plan a filmy new gown in spite of war time economies. Mr. John C. Wharton did tell Melli ficia that the grand opening will last for a week and special features have beep planned for every evening. All summer we have been hearing of the beauties of the new club, visions of cozy tea rooms, sparkling pools, and stately ball rooms, have been filling our minds and now in the cool, Octo ber days the great doors are to swing wide. Many women have been heard to regret that there is to be no ball, for we all know that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," but with a prospect in view of a whole week of jollification, how can one feel sad? Home-Made Cookies for Soldiers. Pie-filled to their utter satisfaction, soldiers stationed hereabouts are now to be provided with all the home - made cookies they can eat. An open jar, "mother's cookie jar," will be placed in the Khaki club and it is the purpose of girls of the ( Lafayette club, one of the Patriotic League clubs, to keep the jar always full. Realizing the enormity of the task, they have called on girls of all the other patriotic clubs to assist them. The first "cookie day" waits only the procuring of a large enough jar.

Dear Miss Fairfax, "miha Bee: Being very Interested in your advice column, I come to you with my trou bles. About two years ago I met a young man, who afterwards came to see me quite often; he claimed to think a great deal of me. About six months after our meeting I went away to business school. Dur ing the school term this young man came to see me quite often and would take me to shows, and several times he took me to dinner. I grew very fond of him and, in fact was much in love with him. One day some busybody told him something, whether it concerned me or just what I could never find out, nor even find out who the person was that told It, but after that he did not come to see me, nor even write to me. If I met him on the street he would speak, but never stop to talk with me. A short time after that he enlisted in the army and left without saying goodby. Now, Miss Fairfax, 1 would like to know Just what you would dj In a case like this? I am very much m 66 By DADDY The . CHAPTER IV.

Billy geta the tramps' tun, while the Woodpeckera cut the bara ot Peggy's cage ao aha can break out.) T HE tramps were completely up set by Billy Belgium s surprise attack. They shook and they ! shivered as they held their hands high in the air. Tags was the first to re-: cover from the shock. ' I "It's only a boy," he growled, "and we are five to one." HDont forget to count the gun, Billy Belgium reminded him. "A boy and a gun might be able to muss up five tramps a whole lot." Tags had started to let his hands drop, but as Billy Belgium said this the gun moved a bit in Tag's direction and he sent his hands up as quick as a wink. "Princess Peggy, will you see if they have any knives or pistols about them?" asked Billy. Peggy wasn't anxious to go near the tramps, but she gathered up her courage and did as Billy Belgium directed. Two of the tramps had pis tols, she found, and all had knives. These she brought to Billy Belgium He looked carefully at the pistols. "They are not loaded," he said. "Put them on the box." Peggy piled the weapons on top of what had been her prison cell. "Line up," shouted Billy to the tramps and they quickly formed a row. The shotgun was getting heavy for Billy Belgium and he rested the barrel on a tree stump, keeping the muzzle pointed so menacingly at the tramps, however, that they did not dare lower their hands. "What are we going to do with them?" whispered Feppy. "I wish I knew," Uiliy Belgium whispered back. "I'll hold court and try them, sug gested Judge Owl, who, with the other Birds had flocked into the clear ing. "I sentence them all to be spanked." "Who'll do the spanking?" asked Billy Belgium. "I'll thump them on the head.' vol unteered Blue Heron, picking up a stick. "Let me bite 'em on the ear," put in General Swallow. "And I'd like the nose of that chap who was singing about 'four and twenty blackbirds baking in a pie,'" rasped Red Wing Blackbird. . "That's it, let's make them into a potpie," spoke up Killdeer, "but I don't know who would want to eat it." "Feed it to the Crows and poison them.

Mrs. Frand sen will remain at Newport while Dr. Frandsen is on shore duty. FAIRFAX love with the man and it grieves me to think I cannot find the trouble so as to be able to go with him again. I-leose answer In The Daily Bee, as I am very anxious to have your opinion on the matter. DAISY. Aren't you taking a good deal for granted? How do you know someone told the young man something about you? It would seem impossible that a young man, if he really cared for you, would take the word of some third person without giving you a chance to defend yourself unless he had reason to believe it to be true. The average young man does not be lieve unkind tales brought to him about his girl friends. It is more than likely that he was growing weary of you, and people do of each other, especially when both are very young. Perhaps If you look back over past Lemon Juice For Freckles Girls!

"No, I think the tramps ought to be roasted instead of baked," declared Mrs. Bob White. "That would pay them for all the Quail they have eat en. Judge Owl here puffed out his chest and hooted: "Theae peaky trampa are awful arampa, I think If we all agr?o, If we do right, we'll lock them tight Within a hollow tree." "That's the idea," shrieked Reddy Woodpecker, "and when we've locked them in the tree we'll let Judge Owl bore them to death by recit.ng his poetry to them." Judge Owl looked solemnly at Reddy Woodpecker, then winked at Peggy as he replied: "Oh, Reddy ha a ready wit, 'Twould make a monkey have a fit, But In hta head there's nothing more Than Just talk to make me aore." "Say, we're getting tired of stand ing this way. Why don't you do some thing?" growled Tags. "You'd get more tired if you were drilling in the army," retorted Billy Belgium. "If you will please set me free, I'll tell you what to do," said Lonesome Bear. "Oh, I'd forgotten you were chained up," cried Peggy, running to release him. "What's your plan?" "I think it would be nice to hug them, to kiss them, to dance with them, to play with them, and go swim sign they will spell the name previous puzzle HUDSON events you will remember that his interest had been waning for some time. At any rate, it would do you no good to pursue him and try to find out the trouble, for he evidently does not care for your friendship any longer. Forget him while he is gone and perhaps someone more worthy will come along. And don't make the mistake of thinking people are talking about you. Nine times out of ten when you think they are discuss ing you they are really thinking and talking of the war or their own af fairs, or something much more vital to them. Alkali In Soap .' Bad For th Hair 1 Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair look ing its best. Most soans and pre pared shamnoos contain too much al kali.

It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easilv, removing every particle of dust. dirt, dandruff and excessive oil.

"No, no!" cried all the Birds. "Yes, yes," whined Lonesome Bear. "I think I ought to have my way, for I'm the one they treated the worst. Here goes!" With that Lonesome Bear rushed at Tags and threw his paws around him j in a mighty hug. Then Peggy understood that Lone some Bear s suggestion wasn t so kindly as it seemed. As Tags howled, Lonesome Bear began to kiss him dog-fashion, rub bing his big, rough tongue over Tags' j face. The tramp yelled louder than ' ever at this. j Then Lonesome Bear waltzed him i around, stepping on his toes, and , finally falling over him. Down went Tags, with Lonesome Bear on top of i him. Lonesome Hear was heavy, and Tags gave a loud grunt as the wind was knocked out of him. Over and over rolled Lonesome Bear with Tags tight in his paws, and every time Lone some Bear came on top Tags gave another grunt. His breath was so squeezed out of him he couldn't yell. Finally, Lonesome Bear rolled Tags up to the brink of the river bank, am! of a sudden they went over into the water, plunging beneath the surface. When they came up.
