THE BEE: OMAHA. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15. 1916 Personal Gosstv : Society Notes : Woman s Work : Household lomcs 8 I December 14, 1916. Hostesses are wondering thfjc days just what flower to use for deco rations on their luncheon, tea and dinner table: Although there arc many flowers in Omaha, the hostess seldom is able to say. "1 want these , flowers," and get them. She must say, "What have you?" and lake what she gets. Have you been wishing for lilies of " the valley? Let me tell you the reason, they are next to impossible to obtain in Omaha just now. Amer ican Beauties are another flower which it scarce. It is said that in a few years the American Beauty will be a matter of history. Its place is being taken by the Russell rose, a deep, rich pink flower, which is now at its best. An Omaha man went into a florist shop yesterday to order flowers for a fair one on Christmas morning. He asked for American Beauties, but he left an order for Russell roses. At one of the pretty luncheons to day and at others this week Omaha matrons have been using the carna tions, which we usually rather neg lect But now the deep red carna . tions are the most fitting emblem of Christmas cheer. It is a curious fact that roses deepen in color and reach their most beautiful shades in the light of summer, while carnations grow rich and beautiful in the darker days of winter. In Boston last winter an Omaha matron saw some of the beautiful baskets made of perpetuated grasses and admired them so much that she wished for them in Omaha. Great was her pleasure, then, upon her re turn to And that her own florist had' just as choice and artistic baskets as any to be found in the east.. !

I met them at a funny littlciparty the other day the woman who used to be rich, and the woman who used to be poor. And they were both hor rid. We were all a good deal surprised, for they both used to be very nice. The woman who used to be rich used to be generous and good-natured and light-hearted. She was always taking you for rides in her motor car and asking you for the week-end and sending you a home-made fruit cake for Christmas, and a fine dojl for the littlest girl, and a whole set of Kip' ling for the biggest boy, and when ever flowers came, whole lots of them, pink and white, and scarlet and yel low, you know it was the rich woman who sent them before you looked at the card. She never bragged or showed off. or tried to make you feel poor. She never acted as if she felt rich or wanted you to know she had plenty of money. She never thought of talk ing about what things cost and she was just as simple ami sweet and nice as she could be, in spite of her maids and her butler, and her footman and her chauffeur. But now she's different so differ ent that I can hardly believe she's the same person. i She has lost her money, and she thinks she has lost her friends with it. .. . She hasn't, of course no one ever lost a real friend by losing money but she thinks so, and that's almost as had. If she goes on acting like the way she acted at the party where I met her last week, what she thinks will be true. She will lose lirr friends, and then she'll say it was all on account of the money, and she'll believe it, and other people will believe it, and there we'll be with the world just that much meaner to live in. It's all so silly, and so useless and so utterly false. Skinners THE HIGHECT QUALITY EGG NOODLES t age Rtcipt Book Frtt SKINNER MFG-COl. OMAHA.

I've seen them before these strange people who depend so much upon cir cumstances and so little upon their own character. I know an actor who's perfectly in sufferable when he's playing a good part and perfectly delightful when he's looking for a job. I know a newspaper man who's the best fellow in the world when he's, drawing a good salary in a good, re sponsible position. When he's out of work, he's a mean, envious, snarling creature that 'you'd go a block to avoid. I know a politician who's all smiles, all joy, all ticklcd-to-dcath-to-sce-you good-fellowship till he gets the job. Then he's as cold as an iceberg, as clammy as an empty refrigerator and as unresponsive as a nickel telephone when you can't rind the nickel. I know a woman who's nice when she's miserable, kind when her heart is broken, generous when she's been up half the night and cried herself to sleep the other half. When she's happy, she's the meanest, snippiest, most up-in-the-airish person I ever saw. I know another woman who will insult her best friend and be unkind to her own mother if she happens to have had a quarrel with her husband, or if she's worried for fear the new cook isn't going to stay. What's the matter with people like that, I wonder? Human chameleons I call them. Do you remember the old 'story in the reader about the chameleon that changed color with the branch he sat on? I'm glad I'm not a human cha meleon, and I do hope I'll never have one in the family.

But to the old proverb, "Un easy lies the head that wears a crown," we might add a new one. "Easily lies the husband who has been crowned a prince." Ernie has a wonderful series of lies for home consumption. Two nights a week he calls up Daisy, his wife, and tells her that he has to take a cus tomer out lo dinner . or that a cus- : tomer has invited him home to dtn I ner. Then Daisy sits down to over done lam!) chops and seasons them wilh a sauce of tears. And the men with uhom Ernie is sharing a wine supper call him a "prince." Two nights a week Ernie's steno grapher phones and tells Mrs. Ernie that he v. as called out suddenly on most important business and that he doesn't want his wife to worry if he gets home late. More tears for Daisy. Ernie and Daisy inxariahly dine to gether once a week and he spends the early part of the' evening telling her what a wonderful little woman she is and how all the fellows envy him his sDlendid little wife the middle I part of the evening is spent in yawn j ing, and later on Daisy lies awake ! and listens to the heavy breathing I which occupies the end of Ihe evening. Every once in a while sometimes once a week Ernie takes Daisy out on one of his joy parlies, lie tips the waited a ten-dollar bill and treats his guests to vintage champagne and twenty-fivc-cent cigars and Daisy is welcome to order Russian caviar or I alligator pears or African peaches. I But aftrrwards the guests comment I on how hard it is on poor Ernie that i his wife should be such a dowdy j dresser and so awkward in society. "Her hair looks as if she didn't know whether a Marcel was a coif 1 fure or French pastry," laughs the i young sister of a "big customer." i And the wife of another adds: "Yes. I and her hands look as if she thought a manicure were a new diet.1 And her ! clothes certainly must have been bought when she was walking in her sleep. Poor Ernie!" And Daisy wouldn't tell then, even if she knew they were interested, that her dress allowance is less than Ernie tipped the waiter at the dinner. and that they don t keep a maid, be cause Ernie thinks a woman ought to have a few domestic interests to busy her. No, Daisy wouldn't tell! She loves Ernie very loyally and her life cen ters around him. Of course, the circle j of which he is the center has to be slightly eccentric, hor you cant put your finger on Ernie and draw a nice radius from him. He is too busy radiating princely good fellowship to be just where his wife expects him to I be at any given lime. Daisy keeps the house spic and span ; i and tries to save enough out of her ! dress allowance to buy Ernie the dam-; ties which her housekeeping allow ance will not permit her to put on her table. She goes on eating lamb chops and steak because she can al ways put them on whenever Ernie TT V (Ideal) lountairiPen Met Him? happens to come home if he does decide to come. He wouldn't like cold I roast or overdone fowl and if he should dine at home Daisy feels that he deserves good food. "I'oor boy!" she tells her mother l bravely, "he vfo'Fks so hard and he ! has to keep up his end with such an j extravagant crowd. He says he : doesn't know what would become of ! him if I weren't such a good manager. I It's wonderful to be able to hep make the career of a man like Ernie. Ihe boys all call him a prince but he says he'll never rest until he's monarch of all he surveys and that a nice understanding, patient little wife like me will help him get there." And Daisy's mother wonders just how much her daughter does under stand! Oh, yes. "Ernie is a prince of a good fellow." He wears stunning clothes, tailored by the most ex clusive man in town, and his cuff links alway match his scarfpin. He has a nice taste in cigars and wine and elegant viands. He really is a prince and, if his wife is a drudge, at least she has the happy content ment of knowing that she .is "the only woman in the world for him." Have you met Ernie?
