Stone, for three and one-half yeara American member of the Interallied Rhineland commission, in speaking before the political and social science division of the Omaha Woman's club yesterday afternoon at the Y. W. C. A. Being left free to foim their own policy by the State department at Washington, he explained, the Amer ican leaders tried to apply Eincoln's policy for reconstruction after the civil war to the alien problems of Europe. And where they were in control they found the policy worked. Colonel Stone gave an extremely frank analysis of the policy and mo tives of the various European coun tries since the armistice. He asked that much of his tnlk be considered as confidential. “When we went into Germany we faced a situation not unlike that in the United States at the close of the civil war," said the speuker. “Cer tainly hatreds were not any more in tense in Europe than they were in our country at that time. Everyone was eager for pence. The Germans had called for a new deal and were really anxious td break with their past. The only people they hated vio lently was the British; \ I talked with an old German mother in Coblenz who had lost two sons In the war without ever learning where or how they died. 1 asked her what she thought was the cause of the war. and she replied, 'I have never really known. You are an American, you have studied about those things. I wish you would tell me what caused the war'.” The Americans and also the Brit ish followed the Lincoln policy in the occupied territory, and made their troops as inconspicuous as pos sible, said the colonel. In theae sec tors the German courts even tried all the Germans who were guilty of offenses against the foreign forces, ami sentenced them impartially, too, he maintained. In consequence of this policy, in all his experience with them, the Germans played fair with the Brit ish and Americans. Their hatred for the British, in which they had been deliberately educated for a genera tlon, began to melt, while the people were o|>enly regretful to see the American forces leave the Rhine land. Colonel Stone described his efforts as representative of the American theory of "malice toward none and charity for all,” to persuade the French delegates to trust a little in the German good faith and to get the German, press to stop berating the French and urge stronger efforts to ward payment of the reparations, to which France was absolutely en titled. Most of the other countries on the commission looked upon the American theory as "idealistic bunk,” which would not work out In prac tice. "Very well," said Colonel Stone at last one day to the French delegate. M. Paul Tirard. "if practice Is the test to which you appeal, go ahead to work out your policy In Europe, and we in America will work out our 'idealistic bunk’ In our own sphere. At the end of 50 years, let us see which region Is better off.” On the other hand, both German and French delegates claimed offi cially to Colonel Stone that they were forced to take the attitude they did by America's refusal to take a hand In European affairs.

R*^ 1 Market 104) Young Daughter Complains Older Sisters Must Wed First Parents Would Forbid Happy Marriage on Account of Tradition Youngest Marry Last—Should Youngest Elope, Is Question. Ry MARTHA AIXKN. There was once a tradition that J daughters of a family should be mar ried off in the order of their years, hut, fortunately, that order is no more. Insistence by old-fashioned parents that the older girls marry first is nothing but a foolish adher ence to a superstition that has no foundation. Nowadays everyone is a definite Individual. So it isn’t neces sary for Helen, who writes that she can’t marry until her older sisters do, to sacrifice love and companionship. "There seems little chance for them to leave home,” writes Helen, "for Mabel, 2li, has chosen a career, and Ruth, 29,' has an admirer who won’t be in a position to marry for two years or more. I am 22 aifd in love with a man who is ready to marry me tomorrow. He has a fine busi ness and real prospects. He knows my parents' ideas about this subject and says he isn't going to be kept hanging around forever. Shall 1 elope or give him up?" It seems selfish for any parents to deprive their daughter of a happy ! Omaha Expatriates Dine Together in California! Mr. and Mrs. Henry G.

Guests were Mrs. Laura Chapman, Miss Harriet Jefferson, Dr. and Mrs. Albert Billings. Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Chadwick and Mr. anu Mrs. Thomas W. Allen. A large pumpkin, converted Into n basket heaped with ai ithe fruits of southern California, furnished the centerpiece. Justus, Lowe Weds. Announcement Is made of the wed ding of Justus Jxiwe, former Omahan, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick B. Lowe of this city, to Miss Frances Cassmore of Minneapolis. The cere mony was solemnized on Friday In Chicago, and the young couple will come to Omaha at Christmas to visit Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Hees, jr. They will make their home In Minneapolis. Mrs. Lowe is a graduate of Bryn Mawr and tias several college friends in the city. marriage. Even though she is the "baby” at home it is alt wrong for them to fall back upon a tradition lost long ago. betting the youngest girl make her way to home and hap piness isn’t going to interfere with the “chances” of her older sisters. To be frank, sometimes when the young er sister marries, her new environ ment puts her in a position to intro duce her older sisters into n world where they might meet eligible men. The younger sister shouldn’t he reie guted to splnsterhood just because the big sisters haven’t found suitable mates. When real love comes to a girl who Is sane enough to appreciate it, It Is something to be considered. Try hard, Helen, to make your par ents realize what you will lose If they do not give their consent to your marriage right now. Your situation is entirely separate from any set of conditions with which your sisters have to contend. Ry practical tnlk with convincing arguments you ought to he able to make your family see your side of the i|uestion. If not, I would say, break away from the Iron clad rules but not until you are con vinced there is no other way to your happiness. Five-Year Gap. Dear -Miss Allen: I have known a certain girl for several months who is 23, live years my senior. I have been out with her several times and she tries to discourage me because she thinks that she is too old. Although l have been out with a score of girls, I have never really found one I like as much as this one. I make a good salary and have hopes of mnrrying this girl. Do you think I should try to win her? HOPKFUD. Didn't it ever occur to you that you still have a few years more to live before you are capable of choos ing a life mate? There is danger of your great Interest in this girl only being infatuation instead of real love. You haven't reached the age when you should know nil the many re quirements for a wife that would make you happy. Stay single fpr a few more years. Don't assume re sponsibility of marriage until you are fully prepared for It. As for the difference In ages, there isn't too great' a gap if the girl in question doesn’t care. Khe evidently doea care, fur she has been fair enough not to en courage your attentions._ | Extravagant Use of Cosmetics Flayed by Madame Antoinette A fetage of medieval simplicity, hung from ceiling to floor with deep black curtains, where amber foot lights struck back the soft glow shed by a single yellow lamp, front ed on 3 sides by enthusiastic women who came Monday afternoon to learn the pscychology of dress from Ma dame Antoinette, who speaks this week at • Thompson Belden's. The thrumming of a harp and two solos added to the atmosphere. The stage is set on the fourth floor of the store, and this week, Madame Antoinette will continue to make her obeisance to charm and beauty initiating her audience into deeper beauty secrets each day. Wearing a semi-formal afternoon costume of heavy gold brocade, Ma dame ‘Antoinette introduced six mo dels who amply proved her theories. Her costume was fashioned in pea cock style, with‘cascades of bronze lace falling from a bustle bow. A Charlotte Corday brimmed metal hat, with a bronze flower and beaded six strap bronze slippers completed the effect. Her models, ranged in type from the lithe sub deb and the co-ed to the heavy matron. In this Madame An toinette Is different from other beauty authorities. Khe scorns the perfect 34 for the more familiar types, who may be made more charming by an understanding of dress. Madume Antoinette flayed the cig arette smoking woman, the woman flamboyant In cosmetics, the woman who does not adhere to strict clean liness. Madame told her hearers that not by Its silhouette was the dress of to day known, for there are a wide range of smart silhouettes. But a new dress is new. or an old dress may be made new. if it is right at the neck line, the length and sleeves. Today Madame will speak on things Intimate. Her models will appear in silk vests, cotton step-ins, the myriad things a woman needs at every hour of the day. "To the person who does not come with the right atti tude, this )vill seem risque, "• she said, "but that is wrong." Wednes day morning she will speak before the domestic science classes of Central High school. Allow two level tablespoons [one rounded tablespoon] of M. J. B. Coffee to each cup of boiling water. To the whole amount add oneffourth cup of water extra for absorp' tion. Place a filter paper in the bottom of the upper section of the tricolator. Spread the coffee evenly on this and adjust and lock the water spreader. Pour rapidly boiling water into the upper section of the tricola' tor, cover and allow this to drip through into the lower section or coffee pot. This will take from five to seven minutes. The filter may then be removed and the coffee is ready to serve. Rich in flavor and freshly fragrant, M.J. B. Coffee is supremely satisfying. For information on Tricolators write M. J.
