front St. Joseph, Mo.,' where they
went Saturday to attend the marriage
of Mr. Halleck McCord Brady to Miss

even the Omaha relatives had been
expecting that the ceremony would

of the scarcity of time. Mr. Brady

that Mrs. Brady will come to Omaha

Old World
Viewpoint
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
We do things differently in Amer
ica I Chaperons are a convention
rather than a fact; freedom takes the
place of protection, and the average
boy or girl of 15 feels ready establish
his or her own standard of conduct.
The older generation and the
younger are constantly clashing, and
a good many representatives of the
two opposing forces write and ask
me to act as tneir referee.
There are two sidei to the! tory.
Over in Europe this does not mean
in Russia particularly, nor yet in
Germany or France or England, but
everywhere in "the old country-
there are conventional restrictions
about which the young people of this
country know very little. .,
A year before the war T spent a
summer in France and Switzerland.
None of the girls I met waa in the
habit of having engagements or going
out with young men or entertaining
callers alone and unchaperoned.
The foreign born mothers and fath
ers of our boys and girls were brought
up in a country wnose social iraui
tions were nothing like our own.
When the girla of that Swiss summer
had caller! they Were received in the
oresence of the family.
Generally, the girls' suitors were se
lected by their elders. And these
"made matches woraeo out pretty
well, for girls who were brought up
nmnlv and who sot tneir first real
freedom through marriage were happy
and satisfied in that simple freedom.
The Younger Generation.
Now the European born older gen
erations got its ideals in the conven-
1 .--:-... At .1.- "
I1UI1HI eUHCiJ Ml ,11 v...... o.u...
Children live simple lives of work and
duty. Good timea were few and far
between. Love and courtship were
more or leas arranged to order, and
life worked itself out placidly and
pretty well on the whole.
Presto! Changel The old world in
habitant was transported to the new
but generations of heredity, years of
training and ingrained ideala came
along. .-
And now we have -the younger
?;eneration. Seventeen year - old
iretchen or Carlolta wants to wear
filmy blouses and ahort akirta and
silk stockings and cares never a bit
about saving $3 a week out of her $7
earnings.'
But Mrs. Schmidt or Mrs. Petra
zini (lately frau or signora) came
from a world where the peasants
learn frugality even as they learn to
try to earn and so they cannot ac
cept the extravagant atandards of the
young folk! of the new world who
want to put their money on their
back! instead of into the banks. And
Carlotta and Gretchen feel abused and
tvranniied over and write to ask me
if I do not think their mothers cruelly
unfair.
Just what I think Is this. Car
lotta and Gretchen have had a better
chance than had the signora and the
frau. And thev ought to be gener
ous enough to recognize that if thev
had not been hard-working peasants
Ul me oia country mey nugni never
In the old county, they might never
have had the courage and . the
strength to work and save and tome
over here and make a place for their
children in a land where these chil
dren have a better chance.
It ia the duty of Carlotta and
Gretchen to be grateful to their par
ents for that chance and to respect
the principle ot saving whkjh pur
chased it. .
As for the older generation, it must
accept agreat deal it cannot under
stand. The love of finery, the love of
food times, the youthful freedom
rom restraint which are all about
the younger generaton are bound to
have their effect. There are things in
this new world which parents must
acknowledge they do not underitand.
Recently a young Spanish 'girl
wrote me a latter telling of her sis
ter's unhappy runaway marriage and
of her own desperate feeling that she
wouia oe driven to taking some such
foolish step, too, because her mother
refused her all freedom, all pleasure,
all youthful comoanionchin.
i am atraia to invite girl friends
my mother makes them feel so Un
welcome in our home that I dare not
take them there, and if I do not take
the mhome. thev think I am nnr-r
I dare not have a young man calling
on me or go to other girls' houses if
they have invited boys. I don't want
io ue ro my motner Dut what
there for me to do? I must have
little pleasure and she won't see it.

THAT the "draped" skirt is to be accepted of fashion, and why
it is accepted, too, is shown in this preirfet dress, which
gives the most charming of silhouettes. The gown is of
black and blue taffeta combined with 'great splashing poinsettias
of jet and crystal beads and rhinestones. .
She says what was good enough for
her is good enough for me," wrote
Dolores and a very unhappy Dolores
at that . ,
Now mother forgot hat she was
brought Up in Spain and that this is
America. Customs and manners and
conventiona develop with the yean.
Yesterday was managed on yester
day's standard, anU today has others.
The parent who refuses to, keep
abreast of the times is sacrificing
the full quota of respect he might
claim from his children.
No one admirei intolerance. And
yet the older generation is intoler
ant of the liberty the younger is
demanding- and the younger genera-
ion refuses to be tolerant ot the tact
that the older is living too much in
the past.
What would I do about it? Com
promise, of course. 1 would have
Gretchen and Carlotta acknowledge
that the ideas of Germany in 1895 or
of Spain in 1880 may have been very
good for their time and place and
might something worth while to con
tribute to the standard! ot today. 1
would have Mri. Schmidt and Mrs.
Petrazini try. to He that if Carlotta
and Gretchen art surrounded by girls
who put rouge on their faces and
that tell where to go,
what to see and what it
costs to enjoy a vacation
in cool, sunny Colorado.

foolish clothe! on their backs, and
stuff their heads with romantic novels
and go around seeking for emotion
and adventure. Carlotta and Gretch
en wouldn't be human if they did not
wan to do what the other girls are
doing.
Plenty to Understand.
' Amother who lived in the days of
the hoopskirt wore it. The mother
whose generation affected bustles
and "waterfalls" aspired to them, too.
The Italian peasant girl wanted the
brightest kirchiet and the most won
derful carol earrings in all her neigh'
borhood. And the German girl fast
tned her thick braids about her head
with the finest pins she could afford
to buy and put the best looking silver
belt she could get around her waist
Every girl lives a little bit by the
standard ot the people around her,
The younger generation must try
to understand that it, too, will out
grow its gayety and frivolity and
misunderstand the next "younger
generation." The older generation
must allow for youth's desires and
longings and for the tendency of
every live thing to follow ita kind.
If this were not so, flocks of sheep
and flights of birds would not huddle
together and swarm after each other.

Miss Rankin's First
Speech in Congress
Washington, May 28. Repre
sentative Rankin of Montana made
her maiden speech on the floor of
the house today and incidently won
her fight. She succeeded in amend
ing, by unanimous vote in the com
mittee of the whole, the food bill so
aa to provide that in making the
proposed food survey the services
of women shall be used, insofar as
practicable.
"Women must take an intelligent
and responsible share in the world'a
work if we are to see that all the
people are fed all the time," de
clared Misa Rankin.
Tremendous applause greeted
Miss Rankin when ahe arose to
apeak and when ahe concluded.
It is all very simple and very natural
lor people to get the "everybody'a-
dcing-it" attitude.
Getting together and attecting a
generous compromise is the only way
tor the two fenerations to work out
their differences of opinion. I cannon
act as referee in individual cases. 1
will not interfere between parents
and child. But I long to see them
make a decent honest effort to un
derstand each other. i

has won by ugly frugality the oppor

beauty and gayety. Let each ponder

HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN
BY HER HAIR -
There is real common sense in just
noticing whether the hair is will kept
to judge of a woman's neatness, or
good taste. If you are one of the
few who try to make the most of
your hair, remember that it is not ad
visable to wash the hair with any
cleanser made for all purposes, but al
ways use some good preparation mane
expressly for shampooing. You can
enioy the very best by getting some
canthrox from your druggist, dissolve
a teaspoontul tn a cup ot hot water.
This makes a full cup of ahampoo
iiquid, enough so it. is easy to apply
it to all the hair instead of just the
top of the head. Dandruff, excess oil
and dirt are dissolved and entirely
disappear. Your hair will be so fluffy
that it will look much heavier than
it is. Its luster and softness will alio
delight you, while the stimulated scalp
gains the health which insures hair
growth. Advertisement.
