"'^Christmas Stunt Party at Brandeis Home Nets $80 for Charity ' The Brandeis Christmas dinner guests were fined if they did and fined if they didn't. The money went to the Associated Charities. If they refused to present a '‘stunt’' at the request of their hostess, Mrs. George Brandeis, they were fined. If they did perform they were fined on “technicalities.'’ Miss Lillian Rogers of Chicago, sister of Mrs. Brandeis. offered a little song, “I Took My Girl to a Country Dance." She was fined because the song was too old and was sung in too jazzy a fashion. One of the more serious-minded of the party propounded a riddle. He was fined because no one knew the answer. Dr. Harper of Chicago sang a beautiful little English song. It was rated too risque for the occasion, and some Chicago money rang up for Omaha charities. Mrs. M. J. Carney of New Tork gave a really beautiful reading from “Romeo and Juliet,” but did not escape the ax. Her classic number was considered too long and too high brow, so on two counts was her pocket book Indicted. One of the women whistled,, but, like the “whistling girls and crowing hens" ot Mother Goose, she came to a had end financially. The Associated Charities ball fund will be $80 the richer and the Hrandels out-of-town dinner guests so much the poorer for the unique Christmas dinner party. ' The M. C.

The United States bureau of stand ards has issued a booklet on the con structton and operation of a simple home-made radio receiving outfit which can be built for about $10. Pointing out that a receiving set need not be elaborate and expensive, the booklet explains that all that is necessary for receiving radio mes sages is a device for collecting power from the incoming radio waves, a suitable circuit adjusted or "tuned" electrically to the frequency of the Incoming waves, and apparatus for changing the received power into audible sounds. Satisfactory results have been obtained from sets con structed according to these directions by persons having no previous experi ence with radio. Readers of The Omaha Bee may obtain a copy of this booklet by send ing 5 cents in coin to the Superin tendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D.

If I had needed proof of Claire Fos ter’s essential Indifference to Dicky. I was given an abundance of It when within 10 minutes of our going to bed, her regular and deep breathing told me that she had gone to sleep as peacefully as a kitten. I knew, of course, that she was ex hausted with the emotional strain of the preceding hours, but I knew also that no exhaustion would have per mitted sleep to come to her so sud denly If her affections had been In volved. She is not the type of girl to-take things lightly. Under her apparent hardness, her metallic superficiality. I had found a warm. Ingenuous heart. And I realized that once she was cer tain of my continued presence In the room with her she relaxed, and laid down the bristling armor which she had kept between herself and the cap tious speculations of those surround ing her, and had found the rest she so sorely needed. But I could not find sleep so easily. | T forced myself to lie quietly for fear that restless movement might awaken tho girl on the couch across the room, while over me went wave after wave of anger at Dicky, fear that he was no longer mine for either anger or appro bation, longing for him, and an agon ized remorseful questioning ns to my share of the blame in the rift that had come between us. Happy, indeed, should he the wife who never has had such a vigil. In the old scriptural phrase she should count herself "h|i seed among women" if she never has had occasion to spend the silent hours of the night In tor turing Introspection and retrospection such as came to me in that mountain bedroom. At first I kept looking at tho ra dium-luminous hands of tny wrist watch to time the passing minutes. But when I found that what seemed to me at least an hour of waiting was registered on the watch as only 17 minutes, \ determined to look at it no more. But I could not escape 'the, striking of a clock in another part of the building, not strident, indeed soft toned. but clearly audible In the deep silence which gave the hours and half hours. I noted every one until four strokes told me that it was that hour in the morning. Then I must have dozed off from sheer exhaustion for when I opened my eyes again the darkness had gone and I saw that it was tho time in the morning Just before the sun comes up, when everything seems most bleak. I shivered beneath the coverings, and realized that the room had grown cold. On the fbot of my bed was a heavy comforter given me by Mrs. Barker for extra cold, and another lay at the foot of Claire Foster's bed. I slipped out of bed, crossed to her, and pulled the quilt up over her with out wakhig her. Then I dived into my own bed again, shivering violently,1 : BUY-RITE!

But it could not restore sleep to iny eyes. I realized that I was “up for all day." realized also, that action of some sort was Imperative for me. I would never be able to carry my un dertaking to its conclusion if I did not provide my Jangled nerves with some outlet. I am a mountain devotee. I do not know that any of my ancestors were mountain bred, but I am sure that somewhere in the distant past of for mer existences I lived among moun tains and loved them dearly. With a little thrill I realized that if T hur ried 1 would be able to see the sun hurst out from behind them, and I sprang noiselessly out of Vied, hur ried frantically through my dressing, and tip-toed out into the hall. If anything could calm me and give roe strength to go on. I knew that the peace of the “eternal hills” would do it.
