Omaha Girl in Concert.
-,.... u. ..t trrl a thrill of ioy
when old friends of their or formerJ
residents ot this cny win mcir
to fame in the big world away from
here. One of the successful girls who
lias a large circle of friends in this
city is Miss Belle Story, known in
this city as Miss Grace Leard. In
the current number of the Cosmo
politan a pase is devoted to her on
which appears two charming like
nesses of the young woman, one a
portrait, the other a photograph in
an afternoon gown. The inscription
accompanying the pictures is. Belle
Story is a recent accession to the
ranks of our concert singers, haying
decide J to do more artistic things
with her highly cultivated soprano
voice 'ban musical comedy permit
ted To her repertoire she has now
added a new and charming waltz
song, 'Blue Bird." Miss Story is an
American girl and comes from the
middle west."
Miss Grace I-eard was the daugh
ter of Rev. Asa Leard, who, until
about ten or twelve years ago was
pastor of the old Knox church here,
which was later consolidated with an
other church to form the North 1 res
bvterian church. The family came
from Springfield, Mo., where another
daughter, Mrs. Milliken. and a son.
F A. Leard, now live. Belle Story
attended Brownell Hall and was an
intimate friend of some of the girls
of old Omaha families, Miss Alice
Switzler, Miss Amy Gilmore,' Miss
May Mahoncy and Mrs. Mirian I'al-terson-Boyce,
who is now in New
York.
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.

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

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"

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."

Before Service is Heeded
Every year a
large number of
families move.
Orders to install
new telephones, re
quests for addition

moving telephones,
are numerous the
first part of each
month, and are es
pecially heavy dur
ing the fall and
spring when people
are changing their

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.
We want to give our subscribers telephone
service at the hour and minute they need it.
Our patrons can help us to do this by filing their
requests as long as possible before the desired
change or installation is needed.
If you give us your telephone removal order
15 DAYS before the new service is required,
we will have an opportunity to prepare for
your needs, and you will not have to wait for
telephone service.
