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..

Human Beings of
By WINIFRED BLACK.
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.

When I saw her at the parly the
other day, 1 forgot all about whether
she was rich or poor, I was so glad
to see her.
But she didn't forget.
"You haven't been in to see me
lately," she said, with the queerest lit
tle sniff. She never had that sniff when
she was rich 1 wonder where she
got it now?
"Of course, it's a long way to my
i new place, and then eh oh, I know
you re very uusy.
I wish you could have heard her
voice when she said it. And as for
the smile she gave, and the way she
lifted ner eychrows 1 wanted to
shake her. I wish now I had.
But I didn't. 1 just stammered and
swallowed hird, and tried to think of
something to say; and looked guilty
and conscience-smitten and ashamed.
And I was ashamed of her.
She went on acting, all the rest of
the party. She acted just like that to
everybody. I think she lost at least
a dozen good friends that very day.
The other woman the one who
used to be poor she was worse than
the one who used to be rich.
When she was poor we all loved
her. she was such""a nice, self-reliant,
clever, happy-go-lucky, good-natured,
broad-minded little tiling-
Now that she is rich she's abso
lutely awful. She condescends, and
she patronizes, and she shows oft. and

woman who used to be rich. Good
luck has ruined the woman who used
to be poor. Which do you pity the
most?
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. ' ,

By ANN LISLE.
Ernie is a "prince of a good fellow."
All the men for whom he buys cigars
say so. 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.

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."
