clean the liver and bowels.

U. 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.
The board of directors of the Old
People’s Home on Fontenelle boule

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. Strelght,
formerly of Omaha, entertained eight
guests, all former Omahans, at
Thanksgiving dinner in their home in
Los Angeles.
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

Announcement Is made of the wed
ding of Justus Jxiwe, former Omahan,

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

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.

She put heart in him

HIS friends noticed his quick, springy step; his cheery,
bubbling-over manner; bis irrepressible good nature.
They wondered. But if they could have seen the breakfasts
bis wife set before him! Hot cakes —the easv-to-eat kind,
golden brown muffins fairly bursting their crispy crusts—
and hot rolls! Say, here was a man who got the right
start every day.
And the way lie bragged about his wife’s baking! But
she blushingly refused to accept any praise. “Don’t thank
me, it’s all in the flour. I use Omar Wonder Flour, and
the same old recipes my mother used.”
Omar is a wonderfully good flour. It deserves all the
praise women give it. Spring and winter wheat — the best
tiie country affords—is selected with the greatest care and
milled to a strict quality standard. Every milling must
