As child she did not give great promise of musical ability, although she had a very pretty voice, but she studied music in Omaha and later in Kansas City, where the family went after leaving Omaha. She continued her studies in New York, when her instructor changed his residence to that city, and completed her work by a number of years of study in Italy. She is a great favorite of Sembrich.

Joseph Seacrest and Lyell Rushton Pie With Two Real Crusts The war has stimulated invention in the United States in a surprising va riety of ways, but in none more 'than in the art of glassmaking, especially in the matter of glassware for chem ical, optical and culinary purposes and for the making of glass bulbs for lights. When the foreign-made glass gave out, the chemical laboratories were agreeably surprised to find that the bills for breakage with the Amer ican glass were less than half of what they were before. In the manufacture of the foreign and American glass before the war, potash was considered one of the necessary ingredients, but potash has been difficult to secure of late and the American glassmakers tried soda, a near relative of potash. The result has been a new glass that stands all kinds of heat in a most surprising way. In fact, this glass promises to de velop unexpected advances in cook ing, lmware, crockery and enamel ware reflect heat to a large degree, but glass lets heat through just as it lets light through. It is found that a cake baked in glassware is baked on the bottom as well as on the top. A pie baked in a glass dish has two crusts, a bottom as well as a top. And the new glass stands the heat ot the oven without cracking. But while this glassware is a great advance on the old tinware for kitchen purposes, there is still something of the old home variety that is demanded in the culinary art namely, mother. No matter what the pie is baked in, much, very mueh will still depend on the person who throws the ingredi ents together and places the product of her skill in the new glassware. A pie may be fabricated according to the most exact and perfect rule, but if it has no heart in it, it will still lack something intangible and yet neces sary that is always found in the per fect pie. It seems to make a differ ence what hands lovingly round, pat and trim the crust. - The American chemist has done much to make us independent of the foreign glassmakcr; in fact, it looks now as though the industry had re ceived a stimulus-that even the return of peace would not destroy. It is now up to the American cook, or to the American mother and daughter, to take advantage of this great advance in a technical art that should so vit a! nal lljr interes them. Minneapolis Jour- Is politeness in fashion? Are we growing more or less courteous? Are men more amiable than woman work ers? Are salespeople or customers the better bred? All these questions have been pour ing in on nic for several weeks since the discussion of the manners of girl clerks was introduced by "A Mere Man." Let us take these questions in or der and think about them quickly and sanely. First, is politeness still in fashion? Of course, this is a hurried age in which we rush for trains, jos tle each other out of the way in our efforts to catch a certain ferry, crowd past each other to get a place on an excursion train and swarm madly against and upon, almost over, each other in our efforts to "catch" one particular car or boat. And mad hurry never yet remem bered its manners! If we mean to retain a vestige of consideration for others consideration which is greater than and includes politeness we must slow up a bit. Everyone has heard the story of the Japanese diplomat who Was hur ried from a subway local to a sub way express and then a station or two further on hurried back to a local. "Couldn't we have stayed on the first train?" he asked. "Oh, yes. But by making those two changes we saved a minute and -a half," was the answer. With Oriental impassivity (and I always imagine that there is almost a Yankee twinkle back of that Ori ental calm) the great Japanese dip lomat asked: "And now that we have that minute and a half, what are we going to do with it?" Generally after we have saved ten seconds or five minutes by a lack of consideration for others, we never have any particular use for them. "Wait your turn" is an important slogan for most of us to remember. Pushing and jostling and elbowing our way onto a train or up to a soda fountain is a matter of nervous ten sion rather than of rudeness. But pretty soon, if we keep it up, we are going to be the most impolite nation on the face of the globe. Are we growing more or less cour teous? We ought to be getting an ever depending sense of courtesy; for we are cultivating attitudes of re spect for age, of kindness to youth and qI real understanding of the great sacredncss of womanhood. Now since real courtesy springs from the heart and is generally awarded from those who are capable of fineness of feeling to those who merit their re spect, it ought to be a growing thing. And it isn't. Why? Again, the answer is our frantic Hurry; and to that we have to add our false standards. Money and position command too much respect, and real fineness is snubbed by unthinking or careless people who accept sable coats and limousines as patents of nobility. Snobs are never courteous. They only fawn on those to whom they think it pays to cater. And other snobs take advantage tf this fact. The haughty "lady" in the imported gown and pearls shoves aside the modest creature in simple coat of last year's style and demands attention. The clerk who sees a big sale ahead has probably neither education nor tact enough diplomatically to save "last year's coat" from feeling slighted. Breeding isn't a matter of clothes or money or the side of the counter on which you happen to be standing, or whether you live on the fourth floor of a teaming tenement, or have a mansion on "the avenue." Breed ing is hardly a matter of "breeding" THE PARISIAN CLOAK CO.j located at 818-1120 South 16th St,, must close out loon, for tha but Mine la going to be torn down, and new spring suits, coats drenses, (klrts and petticoats re aellinf at tremendous reductions.

The Wreckers are Coming Soon MS This charming frock is one of the best novelties of a season that de lights in novelty. The skirt is of China silk with a suggestion of peg top and more than a s u g g e s tion of shirring. The blouse is of cross barred pique band ed in silk to indi cate its speaking acquaintance with the skirt. The coat is of dull green cretonne patterned in gold and blue, and the flower wreath on the big hat amiably echoes this color scheme. at all. It is a question of a kind heart, a willingness to put yourself out a bit and the unselfish fineness of feeling which make you want to save other people from feeling slighted or hurt. People who are capable of keeping their tempers and conducting them selves with quiet calm are seldom guilty of breaches of good breeding. They may say "I ain't" and "he done" and yet have in them that which makes for true aristocracy; fineness of feeling. ' Standing back of a counter all day long is wearying to the body and easily enough becoming monotonous to the mind. By regarding each cus tomer as a new problem to be good naturedly solved, and by making an amiable effort to sell your own per sonality, as well as the goods you have to show, you who represent the clerks of the world can easily enough be at once successful and happy. I think men have a greater tend ency to do this than have women. We woman folks are rather a high strung, nervous lot, and we let our feelings enter into our work. A cross word from a customer and the sales man gues on stolidly because the customer isn't insulting him, she is just "letting off steam;" but the saleswoman who is reproved or who meets with irritability is likely to feel an absolutely personal affront in an attitude that may be merely a state of irritation at the world in general. If none of the blue velvet in stock matches the sample in the customer's hand and she gets nasty and cut ting about it a salesman does his best and says to himself: "I should worry I I'm not the buyer nor the dyer nor the weaver. I've done my best with what they gave me." And aloud he says: "I'm so sorry, madam. If you can't get exactly what you want Come back and let me try to find you a shade that will look well with your sample." This establishes an "Entente Cor diale," and the customer is likely to smile and say that she's sorry to have been such a nuisance and probably the velvet a shade darker than her sample will do. That's how the ideal clerk and the ideal customer conduct them selves like two amiable human beings. A high-strung, irritable cus tomer might easily make a nervous girl or a dyspeptic man half insane at the thought that fifteen minutes had been wasted and that nineteen boxes of velvet had been hauled down in vain. And the minute that atti tude is taken, it would be "in vain." Courtesy, a calm attitude toward a minute or two, good temper, no matter how the other chap acts, and a bit of diplomacy are things each of us will do well to cultivate. Both sides of the counter of life need amiable humanness! American Women Will Wear Trousers, Says Mrs. O'Reilley Chicago, April 11. American wo men will wear trousers during and after the war Mrs. Mary O'Reilly of the Woman's Trade Union league in timated to a meeting of women here last night. She urged that the Wo men's Co-Operative league of "the United States employment and immi gration service composed of delegates from 300 Illinois woman's clubs ap point a committee to consider the industrial condition of women in war time. "Now that war is here we must be prepared to meet it," she said. "When English women went to worky at men's jobs, as we shall have to do, they began to wear trousers and now they don't take them off when they go home, but wear them on the streets." -t- CUT 111 CkiHNERS wfam-3- ' M TWO UUtI PACKAGES IS KAK ROM TIB RfSHEST SUM MINIM Wit AT (MB II It MIMUnS.

To Serve You Promptly While we strive to supply the needs of our subscribers promptly, we are occasionally forced to fall behind during rush periods. So many requests for immediate service come within a few days at certain times during the year that it is an impossibility to grant them at once.

Our patrons can help us to do this by filing their requests as long as possible before the desired change or installation is needed.
