* Ballot Offers Opportunity for Evangelism Have You Registered? Opportunity of a Lifetime to Attend to Another’s Business. ft -— Registration for voting seems to be like the Salvation Army in that it depends for results upon personal evangelism. Talks with young Omaha matrons who have enjoyed a recent change in name, residence, or condi tion, reveals that most of them who have laid claim to the right of suff rage have been urged to the place of registration by pressure from with out. Usually the husband has been the evangelist, but in one or two cases an older woman has been the shep herd who has sought the erring one among the goats of the unregistered and herded her into the political fold. Mrs. George Neuhaus admits she might have let the occasion slip by, despite all the good intentions In the world, had it,not been for reminders from her husband and Mrs. AA\ F. Baxter, who performed the same serv ice for several younger women. Registering, she said, has been the final touch necessary to make her feel at home in Omaha. Having done It, she is tertahv that she belongs. A visit to the dentist gave Mrs. Roger .lenkins the incentive to do her duty as a man and a citizen. The color of her hair, which has always been a subject of debate in her circle of acquaintances, nearly brought proceedings to a full stop, confesses Mrs. Jenkins. As her fam ily and enemies have always called it pink, and her admirers called it golden or Titian, she felt unable to swear to its true shade. She put it up to the clerk, who after some be wilderment wrote down ‘‘auburn." Mrs. H. H. Auerbach is proud of being among the evangelists as well as among the saved. She did her duty as a man and a citizen before her husband'performed his, and she it was who saw to it that he followed in her footsteps. Mrs. Harry Byrne and Mrs. A. D. Peters are also safe within the fold. Nothing Is easier for the newcomer in an unfamiliar city than to let the precious moments pass without registering. A wail of regret comes from Mrs. H. I). Jolley, Mrs. Eugene Holland, Mrs. Karl Gannett and others who, with the best intentions in the world, were left un rescued from the fate of the forgetful and did not reach the registration desk. *• Mrs. Barlow Hostess Miss Genevieve Brooks of New Vork, niece of Mrs. Milton Barlow, will be entertained at luncheon at the Omaha club, by Mrs. Barlow on Sat urday.

Should Lover Be Blind to Others? "I’ve tried and tried to tryst ray fiance,'' writes Mildred. ' But I hard ly get over one worry and annoy ance when along comes something else to make me feel that he is not as devoted as he pretends. When we go to dinner he Is always particulaj ly attentive to the most attractive woman there; when we go to a dance he is likely to take several dancea with the best dancer; when we walk along the street he never fails to notice the best dressed and most charming women we pass. "I don't say he does anything wrong. I don't say he neglects me. Hut 1 do say that I don't see why a man w ho adores one woman needs so many outside influences to make his days complete. My fiance reminds me of that quotation about the woman who ‘liked whats'er she looked on and her eye went everywhere.’ “What do you think of this case? To add to your Information we are both college graduates, both working successfully at business callings, and he Is 28, while I am four years younger. Do you thing I have any chance of finding happiness In mar riage with a man I love but cannot trust?' MILDRED. Do you love the man you want to make blind and deaf and dumb and Inactive? Can any woman really love a man when she wanta to de prive him of every article of Intel lectual and emotional diet save those she herself has prepared for him? Do you expect the man you ''love" to be unaware of a sunset or a tree in the soft green verdure of early spring or a fine painting just be cause you long to supply all beauty to his eye? The best way to hold love is to leave it free. This may sound para doxlcal, but that does not destroy its truth. The minute you tell the average child that he cannot have jam on his bread and butter, jam Is the thing he most wants. But spread a little jam on his bread daily and he probably won't dream of ri fling the preserve closet to get what is so easy for him to attain. Men are boys—grown up, though women seem bound to forget that fact. So fetter a man—deny him jam—and he goes rushing about searching for it and rifling all the preserve closets in the vicinity look ing for jam. Smilingly congratulate a man on his good taste when he aecures three dances with an attractive girl, and you prove that you don’t consider her a rival. So Friend Man doesn't think of her that way cither. Pout and ask what he found so attractive In that "vamp." and he will begin to preen himself. You have just con fessed 'hat you are jealous. Oil Paintinp*. Ths rare of art object* la some, thing In which every homemaker must take a certain Interest. Mr. K. W. Forbes, head of the Fogg Art museum at Harvard university, may give a few hints on the care of paintings. The shadow box, with Its glass cover, according to Mr. Forbee, is one of the surest wavs In .which to keep an nil tn good condition—that is. (fit Is airtight In the case of oil paintings "It's not the heat, it s the humidity." literally holds true. It Is not so much changes in temperature ss the changes in humidity that af fect oil paintings In taking care of modern painting*, if you do not have shadow boxes, it is welt to have them framed with a glass at the hsck as well as the front to protect the canvas. Rome var nishes are harmful to canvas, so that supposed method of protection may mean destruction. In fact, according to Mr. Forbes, many varnishes are harmful to oil*. All too often when a painting is being denned up, old var nish heing removed for a new coat, the painting is likely to be removed along with the varnish. Many modern paintings are done with such thick raised spots on the surface that a glass over the front at least is essential if for no reason other than that of keeping the dust which would settle on these raised spots.
