    * 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.

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.
