THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, ' 1916 Society Notes : Personal Gossip : Woman's Work : Household Topics HAWAIIAN MUSIC ATTRACTS SOCIETY Young Women Prefer to Dance To Its Wierd Melodies Learn to Play Ukelele. I v'EAZE HAS BEACHED HERE By MELLIFICIA August 30. The weird melody of Hawaiian music has won the hearts of society. Rag time for pleasure and for danc ing is rapidly being consigned to the background and in its place Hawaiian melodies on Hawaiian instruments are being used. In New York espe cially this is the case, for there every one has gone mad over the novelty. The ukele is the instrument of the hour. In Chlrajro the young women on the bathing beaches in their gay bathing costumes sun themselves on the sands and tinkle its strains. Omaha young women have the craze as badly as all the rest. Some play the little instruments in secret, some take lessons privately, but others are willing to admit that they are inter ested and improving ukelele players. The Misses Gertrude MeU, Marion Kuhn. Mildred Rlioades, Dorothy Balbach and Ruth Hamilton are among the most enthusiastic pupils. Miss Luella Allen says that the number of aspirants to proficiency on the ukelele is rapidly increasing.

It is generally understood that black pearls are the most vaiuame; next in value come pink, then white and lastly yellow, t'earls are stead ily increasing in price; they now cost three times as much as they did ten years ago. The Indians of South America make flour' or paste from bananas, and thus the banana in that part of the world, as in Africa and the East Indies, takes the place of cereals. It has been found that telegraph wires will last for forty years near the seashore, but in the manufac turing districts the same wires will last only ten years, and sometimes less. . . . . A Timely Fashion Hint f-j. smmmw IgaBi1 I I sin lllll I BS3jjggjjgBjffl&sVsMlls A V-neck round cut collar, which promises to be most fashionable this fall. This collar was ,one of the Do Women BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Do women want a meed of flattery and compliments offered them as tribute or do they desire the finer tribute of honest, simple and, if need be, bitter truth? Does the feminine want even its medicine sugar-coated, or is it will ing to swallow a bitter dose if that will prove curative? . . , , On the attitude of the individual woman toward these questions de pends whether she is to have true friends as she goes through life or whether she can nope for nothing bet ter than acquaintances with women and flirtations with men. ( . The truth isn't always pleasant; how can it be? Life itself is far too bitter and grim a reality to make that possible. But the truth is cura tive. The people who tell it to you have taken the trouble to study you. to look at you squarely and fairly as an individual worthy their atten tion and interest, and to try to figure out what is for your good and ad vantage.. . None of us can stand off and get a perspective on ourselves. All of us have unsuspected weakness and pe culiarities, and little 'mental twists and turns which make us repellant to some and charming to others. But, unfortunately, our weakness may make us repel those whom we most desire to attract. Then what can be more valuable than a friendship which tells us honestly and loyally where lie our weaknesses and where our chances of improvement? 1 Skirts to Order, $2.00 Bring your goods or. select frem imported or do mestic. The Ideal Ladies' Tailor 412Faxton Block 16th and Farnam Sts. Shop Talk "What's a Bushalman?" ask ed someone over the phone one day after reading one o! our want ads. We explained to him that a Bushalman is an all around tailor, who can make a coat, vest or pair of trousers, or can alter them in any way. As a rule he is the bast workman in the shop. They are hard to get, and the only way we can let them is to offer a better job than they can fet at the regular tailor shops. We give them steady work the year 'round at good wages, therefore get our pick of the bunch. We have several of them ell ready to reline your coat, 'overcoat or jacket, or make any other alterations or repairs desired. if models recently submitted by promi nent American neckwear manufactur ers in an effort to standardize the styles for the coming season. Like Truth? The friend who is honest with you honest, frank and perhaps even brutal is the true friend. The flat tering sycophant who offers honeyed words is actually your enemy. He does not look at you through rose colored glasses and see you as better than you are, but he considers you a weakling who wants to be fed sugar plums and to be catered to and flat tered. Don't be cynical about the kind things people say to you; but take them with sanity and modesty, and try to accept in a spirit of sweetness adverse criticisms, which may be about the healthiest dose any friend can offer you. Therein lies one of the qualities in masculine nature that enables it to stand more calmly than does the fem inine life's wear and tear; men like flattery but they can stand the truth. Some masculine weaklings adore compliments; but the average strong man prefers cold facts to fairy tales. We women must cultivate in our natures a greater liking for honesty, though it be brutal. "Reading and 'riling and taught to the tune of a hickory stick" That was the way it used to be, but not any more. The use of the hickory stick has fallen into inocuous desuetude, as one of our great statesmen expressed it. School days there are, nonetheless, and for these prudent mothers prepare. The wise ones depend on KILPATRICK'S FOR FIRST AID.

When Crow's Feet Begin to Come Crow's feet not invariably, but generally, come from weak eyes and delay or procrastination in using spectacles. If the eyes are habitually screwed up they will soon form. To avoid this, wear plain motor goggles in a high wind, even when driving in an ordinary carriage, and blue glasses whenever the sun is strong. Crow's feet yield sometimes oftener to massage than any other facial trouble. Take a little massage cream and rub in well in a circular man ner, round and round. Do this for five minutes night and morning. If the eyelids themselves arew rinkled, the same treatment may be employed, only in a far gentler fashion. Salt and water, or the tannin in strong tea. is often an astringent for preventing crow's feet; or bark and myrrh, to be bought from any care ful druggist, but these are apt to stain the skin, unless good massage cream is subsequently rubbed in. If the eyes suddenly blink at a light, cr the eyelids start twitching conv:iiivcly. you may be sure enough that you a'r run down in health and overworked, or that you need spec tacles. It is probably anaemia, and an iron tonic is usually the best remedy. Sleep is also a great beautifier for the eyes. The eyes of a good sleeper w'u nhvavs .be dreamy and deep in color, and the eyelids will fold back raim':-. without that nervous, rapid Winking which is irritating to watch. It the eye suddenly twitches, and an oculist pronounces glasses unneces sary, it would be advisable to go in for masfage or electrical treatment. It sometimes is the precursor of 4 nervous breakdown or some other serious malady. A doctor should be consulted in this case, as is best, also, with any irregularity of the eyes. To tie a green ribbon around the eyes at night is excellent for resting thl eyes and keeping them calm and sti'l.
