The board is calling upon the teachers' re serve, women who have had special ized training in teaching methods who have retired from active service to render valuable service again as a means of relief. Any woman possess ing these qualifications will be giving patriotic service if she applies to her focal school authorties at once. The various war missions stationed in the United States have impressed upon government officials the neces sity of keeping children in school rather than working in war industries. The plan of child labor was tried in European belligerent countries with poor results. t trma (nr War Can-in Work. iiviii." . - r - - Governor Francis of Missouri, who is now ambassador to Russia, has loaned his beautiful home to the war camp community service for the en . tertainment of the soldiers while he is absent.

A happy meeting took place in Paris a short time ago when Miss Louise Dinning greeted Miss Clara Schneider and Miss Marguerite Schneider in the French capital. All are in Red Cross service. Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Dinning received a cable Saturday from Miss Dinning announcing her arrival in Paris. As Mrs. Etta Turner, sister of the Misses Schneider, is now at Neuilly in the hospital where Miss Dinning was first assigned, it is very probable that a joyous reunion has taken place among the three sisters. As Miss Dinning was granted a leave of absence during the winter months, it is thought that special leave was given for this little vacation. This patriotic nurse, of whom Omaha is so justly proud, has been trans ferred from the hospital at La Panne, Belgium, to another large institution of healing near Ypres. La Panne has been abandoned, as the shelling be came so terrific that the wounded men and their valiant nurses were exposed to terrible dangers. Kearney-Bentley Wedding.

Owing to the quarantine at Flor ence field the dancing party which was to have been given Saturday evening by the Comrade club has been postponed. The next dancing You know, I am just mad about good rag-time. Since the war so many clever pieces have been written and I'm quite wild nbout them. Last evening a crowd of us went over to Nell Bowen's. Her brother, Ralph, is rather clever with the banjo, so between the two we had a regular "idzz" band. . We danced until Nan j Hippie came over and wee j lur to t '.ne funny songs for us. Well, really she puts Sophie Tucker and Em ma Carus in the shade. She has such a charming manner and is rather attractive, too. Last eve r ning she wore an adorable hat X T It was red plaid gingham and t 4. red satin combined. The crown j. was of the plaid and the brim 3. which was longer in the front T j. than in the back, was red satin X v faced with g'ngham. A bow of v j. the satin was on the left side T and one of the tabs extended A down almost to the shoulder. I j. could view the hat so well as 1 Nancy sang her songs. $ party will be given September 21 at Fort Omaha. Omahan Interpreter In Rouen. Corp. John Taliaferro, son of Mrs. J. N.

McDonald of the First Canadian mounted rifles. Advice to the Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Chance Acquaintance. Dear Hiss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: Not very long ago I went to a public dance. A boy asked me to dance without any acquaintance. I went, and then ho asked my name, and bo on until we got acquainted. Now any time I see him downtown or any place he always speaks to me. Do you sup pose he would want to go with me? Of course, I don't want to be called by a bad name. The thing I want to know Is, would it be all right for me to invite him down to my house? ! live In a small town and am going ir work in two weeks. Or would lt W all right to ask him to come down there? -He is a very nice boy and I would like to make friends with him. ALMA. It would have been an easy matter for the young man to have found someone In a small town who would have presented him to you properly. Since you allowed him to make your acquaintance so readily he may think lightly of you if you continue to en courage him. Why not wait until he asks you for further favors, at least? Oirls never make any advance Into the favor of their young men friends by "running after them." They may seem to do so for a while, but from the beginning of time the man has been the seeker and the woman the sought, and the men like to have lt that way. I should certainly let the young man ask for an Imitation to vialt me before I gave it to him. Embarrassed. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: Quite recently I attended the assem bly. Well, while there I met a young man one evening. He waa a very re fined and cultured young man, but quite bashful We had several occa 8lons during th evening to talk about the college we had both attended, and I'm sure he is a nice fellow, because we have known him and his folks for years and they are a very well-thought-of famlly Now I'm a very modest and sensible girl and have a college education. Well, after the meeting that even ing he stepped up to me and said Just this: "I would like to get better ac quainted with you and, if I may ask, what is your name?" It took me so by surprise I Just didn't know what to say or suggest After I had told him my name, because he rather seemed to be waiting for an answer of some kind, I Just said: "Well, If you don't mind, probably we could Just take a short walk. (Vou will remem ber we were already out of doors.) Now, I've Just been worrying about it, feeling that probably It was out of place for me to suggest taking a walk, but I didn't know what to say, being taken so by surprise, and, anyhow, I think it a rather peculiar situation. But please do tell me if you think lt was terrible or unladylike or fast to say that Thank you so very much. TROUBLKD. There was no reason for you to be embarrassed because your name had slipped from the young man's mind. Some people have great difficulty In remembering names. I do not see that any harm was done, however, by your suggesting a stroll when the man was standing there and evidently at a loss to continue the conversation. There is no danger of being unladylike If you try to make things pleasant for your friends and are thinking of their pleasure and ease instead of your own. Self-CooMCious GlrL Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am a girl 18 years old. I am very self-conscious. Could you please tell me how I can rid myself of this feel. Ing, and how can I cultivate self-confidence? F. M. Think of others and try to put them at their ease Instead of keeping your mind on yourself. Talk about the things your friends are interested in. Try to maintain the attitude that you are the person at ease and the rest are self-conscious and lt Is your place to make them enjoy themselves. Registration. Dear Miss Fairfax. ' Omaha Bee: I was born on the 12th of September, 1872. Do I have to register? PUZZLED. No, you are Just over the line. Tou would have had to register had you been born a few hours later..

It is estimated that in all lines of work 1,442,000 women have stepped in to fill depleted ranks of industry, and nearly three-quarters of this number work for the government. 3 ffi One cup or three Jo harm in POT POST Contains no Caffeine I li IC" "" H- 'l' I' 'H-H--M--M--f Mrs. Chsrtes T.
