SIGNIFICANCE OF CHARMS
Many Kinds Displayed by Women
on Watrhchalns anil
Necklaces.
Hardly a woman who loves pretty trink
ets is now without a good luck charm on
her watch chain or necklace. One woman
who has a collection of charm pendants
strung at Intervals along her watch chain
told about them. ,
"New York Is full of Swastika crosses,"
she said as she showed a square sliver
cross. "Mine came from Mexico.
"This Is Italian, a charm against the evil
eye." She twisted her chain to the next
pendant, a little coral hand. Its thumb,
third and fourth fingers were folded down
over the palm. The Index and little fingers
were extended. "Italians believe that these
little hands keep off the evil eye.
"You can get hands In any shop that
makes a specialty of Italian jewelry. I
know a woman who has a necklace chain
hung with a row of them.
"Here's a pretty luck charm from our
own south, a hare's foot mounted In sil
ver. "China is all for the elephant as a lucky
charm. In the Oriental shops there is
no end of the array of pendant elephant
charms.
"Most of them come In Ivory, but there
are also made In. coral, crystal, amethyst,
Jade and chrysopase. In many of the
charms the eyes of' the elephant are set
with tiny sparkling gems.
"It Is hard to know where to stop when
one tries to choose a charm from among
the many fascinating ones made of Jade
the Chinese lucky stone. As It Is the
stone Itself that brings good luck great
scope In design opens for the charm maker.
I chose this strictly flounder fish curled
Into a circle and I couldn't resist this little
squat Idol, or this group of the three mystic
monkeys see no evil, bear no evil, speuk
no evil. One monkey Is blindfolded, the
ther clasps his ears, the third has his
finger to his Up.
"Four leafed clovers inclosed in crystal
make popular charms. Y'ou can have the
four leafed clover you are lucky to find
yourself mounted In this way. The crystal
may be rimmed with silver or gold."
WHEN BEING PHOTOGRAPHED
Hints to Those Who Won Id Make
Pleasing- nml Natural
Pictures.
Wear the sort of dress you usually do.
You can't make a bigger mistake than to
don some sort of setup that you're totally
unaccustomed to. If you're In the habit
of wearing a stiff collar don't go and get
photographed In a fichu.
If you are an outdoor girl be photographed
out of doors.
Avoid violent contrasts In color or light
and shade In your attire. Plain colors are
best for gowns, and draperies usually
como out much "better than frills' and
flounces. .
If you have a good figure take care to
preserve a clear outline. If not, never be
taken full length.
Furs usually look well, but unless care
Is taken of the way they aro disposed
they are apt to be rather overwhelming.
Sable In particular comes out very nicely,
but ermine Is apt to be hard, and Is, per
haps, better, avoided.
Much Jewelry Is a mistake, but one or two
really good things look very well. A fine
string of pearls Is always safe to wear.

NEXT TEAS WILL BE A HUMMER
Opinion of Real Estate Dealers, Who
Agree oa Likelihood of B
adjustment la Operation
of Loans.
Sanford Peck of Chicago, who some four
weeks ago Invested $30,000 In Omaha real
estate. Increased his holdings Friday by
$11,000 when he bought five residences, two
of which are located at Thirty-third and
Cass streets, and three at Twenty-first
and Spencer streets.
Mr. Peck bought the holdings of Spencer
Otis last ntonth after making a trip to
Omaha and looking over the city and
summing up tho outlook for the future.
More than eighty lots were Included In his
first purchase and It Is said to be his plan
to Improve many of them. The houses he
bought Friday are all new.
Mrs. Golda F. McCulloh closed a deal
Friday with Earnest Sweet for the resi
dence near Thirty-third and Harney
pany has sold a home at Twenty-eighth and
Hickory streets to John Kercher of Des
Moines. It., who is coming to Omaha to
make his home.
Question aa to Volume.
Whether real estate transfers of this
year will be as great as those In IMS Is a
matter of conjecture with real estate deal
ers, who have experienced the first six
weeks of real quiet during the year. The
transfers last year amounted to $10,265,93,
an Increase of more than $3,000,000 over the
previous year.
"But next year will be the hummer," said
II. O. Jordan of the Byron Reed company.
speaking of the. outlook.
Real estate dealers are generally agreed
that some readjustment Is likely In the
operation of the city real estate loan
deals. It has been exceedingly easy to
handle real estate on the constantly rising
market and with plenty 0f money seeking
Investment.
Every bank has been more than willing
streets, tho consideration being $5,500.
Ono of ilie Important real estate deals of
November was closed when David Colo
deJlvered to Rt. Rev. ' Richard Scannelt,
bishop of Omaha, the, deeds for lots at
Fifteenth and Leavenworth streets, which
was bought In the name of St. Phllomena's
parish, an Incorporation.
As this property was In the courts for a
number of years. It was sold under con
tract to give a clear and clean title. Mr.
Cole succeeded In securing every detail of
the abstract, and It was accepted by the
church for $14,000. When Mr. Cole, bought
It Rome time ago, he Is understood to have
secured a bargain at $8,000, the property
increasing $6,000 In value while he held
it and the opposite corner selling for $15,000
The Ofcborn-Hanson Real Estate com
to advance the funds with which to handle
a real estate "deal,", arid as for those who
have good collateral there will be no
trouble In the future, but the savings and
loan associations probably will have ap
plications for more money than they can
supply. Such is the condition of the Omaha
savings and loan associations at present.
At the last meeting of the board' of di
rectors of one Institution loans were con
tracted ahead for almost $200,000 and the
company was compelled to stop making
loans or promising to make them.
Such conditions, If they continue long
Into the new year, are apt to lessen the
rapidity of selling city property, according
to the dealers.

ECONOMY AND SYSTEM OBJECTS
CHATEAU DE SABLE AT AUCTION
Anrpstral Home of Mlaa fhonts'
Fiance Sold I'nder Embarrassing
Circumstances.
The Duke de Chaulnes, who Is engaged
to marry Miss Mary Shonts, had the mor
tification of learning this week that his
beautiful Chateau de Sable must be sold at
auction to r&y off some of his creditors.
Although the chateau was offered at pri
vate sale, there was no purchaser, owing
to the duke's creditors having Insisted on
an extreme price In the hope that Mr.
Shonts would come to the duke's rescue
and pay off his liabilities by buying the
chateau and presenting it to the future
duchess aa a wedding present.
Sanguine as the creditors are that tha
duke will soon be able to pay all his debts
In full, as soon as he marries Miss Shonts,
they were unable to prevent a part of tha
estate being sold. It Is expected the duke
will redeem the family souvenirs which are
not yet sold.
Owing to the forced sale of his estates.
and In order that the remains of his ances
tors may not fall into the hands of strang
ers, the duke has caused the body of his
grandmother, the Duchess de Chevreuse, to
be exhumed and transported to a vault at
Pamplerre. The body of the duke's father
has been exhumed and Interred in a ceme
tery at Bovlsset.

Before aailing for Malta the duke and

vitation from the young Waldorf Astors to
spend Christmas at Cliveden. This Is an
extraordinary honor, because ordinarily all
members of the royal family are expected
to spend Christmas at Sandrtngham with
the king and queen.
The honor is emphasixed by the fact that
all the hostesses of England are striving
for the Connaught'a attendance at their
parties. The Princess Patricia, who Is
great friend of young Mrs. Astor, will be
among the guests. This is the first time
royalty has been entertained by the Astors

J
WEEK LAYOFF FOR SMP MEN
Company Says Many Employes Take
Rests Anyway and Savins? Can
Be Made, by Cloalna
the fihopi.
All the principal shops of the Union Pa
cific will bo closed for a week and a day
during the holiday season. The shops will
close Tuesday nlslit, December 24, and not
reopen until Thursday, January 2.
This order comes as a surprise -to the
thousands of men employed In tho shops
along the llr.e of the Union Pacific, as thrre
Is said to be no precedent for such a move,
the reason for which la said to be economy.
At the general offices, where the order
was Issued, It was sulci the men had, many
of them acquired the habit of taking
several days off about Christmas time for
rest and celebration and this lias seriously
handicapped tho work of the shops. To
meet this emergency Is given as one of
the reasons for shutting down the shops.
Many of the men have been In the habit
of laying off a few days before Christmas
and a few days after New Year's and some
fall to show up after Christmas, so as to
accommodate all as well as to work a little
economy at the same time, the shops will
be closed for the holiday week, so an
official says.
All forces will be laid off for the week
and only srch men as are absolutely neces
sary to keep things in shape will be kept
at work. "Economy" was tho reason given
by one of the men in authority. Work has
been falling off to a conHlderohle extent
and It wns Spired thut by laying off all
at a time when most of the men would
like to lay off anyway, a considerable sum
of money would be saved to the company
and the forces would not have to be cut
down to make the required reduction In
expenses.
The order affects about 1,700 men at the
I'nlon Pacific shops In Omaha, about 400
at Grand Island and about 21 at North
Platte, besides more at other shops.
Milk shed to Be Bollt.
The I'nlon Fuclflc has for some time been
working on plans along the Una ordered
by the State Railway commission, which
ordered a creamery service depot
in Omaha. When the case was
filed the Union Pacific admitted In its
answer present facilities were Inadequate
and for some time has been working with
the creamery men to supply their wants.
Several conferences have been held with
the representatives of the creamery com
panies and several trips have been made
to Union station to formulate some plan
which would b satisfactory to all con
cerned. Officials of the company say they
will construct the needed building to care
for the cream and milk, but have as yet
not formulated exact plans aa to how it
will be done.
Several other roads are Interested In
Union station and their consent will have
to be secured to any change made. Now
that the commission has ordered the work
to be done, the other roads probably will
have to consent to the Improvement or be
forced to do so Ly the commission.
A wag has suggested that if the State
Railway commission has authority to
order the railroad company to build a new
station to care for the creamery business,
it might have authority to order the I'nlon
Pacific to proci-ed with the construction of
its headquarters and prescribe the IZ2 and
height. v
Freight cfflrlals of the Union Pacific say
they have no intention of hauling the
cream via freight trains, as suggested by
tho commission. The cream Is not
hauled by the Pacific Express company,
which is well organised to care for the
business, having trucks at each end of the
haul, messengers on the trains, blanks, de
livery wagona, and the officials say the
business is handled more satisfactorily that
way then they could handle It in refriger
ator cars on freight trains.
STANDARD. T0GlVE CANDLES
Company Ventnrea to Make Chrlat
maa Glfta Deaplte Rockefeller's
SelllntT Ilia Auto.
Close upon the receipt of the news that
John D. Rockefeller Is retrenching and
has told one of his automobiles comes the
announcement the Standard Oil company Is
to give 'all employes who have Christmas
trees a box of candles to be used In the
decoration of trees.
Ejnploytj-s who are to give their workers
Christmas presents In Omaha do not look
down upon the gift of John D. Rockefeller.
The candles cost money of course not
much to the manufacturer and by the
time everyone gets a box it will oost con
siderable. Besides Mr. Rockefeller's ex
penses are large. He has a garage with
a superintendent of garage and other gar
age employes, down to the deputy assistant
wick trlmmar and the Christmas present
could not be- much larger without making
a dent In Mr. Rockefeller's pocketbook.
, liut the employes of the Commercial club
of Omaha are to get much more out of
life on Christmas day. For more than a
week a long sheet of paper has been on
the cigar counter at the club rooms and
the Jl and J.' pieces have been subscribed
and paid over at a furious rate. The em
ployes of the cafe and kitchen will have
a good-sized fund and when It Is divided
each will have a good-atied fund for
Christmas.
Now and then a Christmas box makes
its appearance In a hotel or, shoe-shining
stand and the way people respond to the
appeal of the little sign "Remember the
Porter" would certainly drive away the
feeling that someone may be overlooked
Christmas.
The Iron kettles and chimneys of the Sal
vation Army and American Volunteers are
still receiving the coins, and girls are
standing In tho cold for ten and twelve
hours each day te guard the collection
boxes. Everything points to a merry
Christmas.
"EVERYBODY TAKES THE BEE"
Snch is Conclaalon of Representative
F. C. Beat. Who Speaks of

"I am fully satisfied with the claims o
the circulation department of The Bee,'
said State Representative K. C. Best. "Th

legislation of this kind, no one will deny,
but It must not be of such a sweeping
character as to deny the plying of abso
lutely necessary vocations, which are
materially different In a metropolitan city
and tho small town. I believe unnecessary
