THE BEE: OMAHA. FRIDAY, JULY 6. 1917.
Aftermath of the Races.
If a majority of the crowd at the
automobile races on the Fourth vas
engaged in idle amusement, there was
one person whp employed every min
ute of the lime. Miss Daphne Peters,
looking as dainty and attractive as
if she were attending an afternoon
tea, eat in the grand stand to the
right of the starter's box and knitted
away steadily on something pink and
white, presumably one of the indis
pensable new wool sweaters.
The girls and women who sold
sandwiches, cigars, gumland candy for
the Red Cross were the chief objects
of interest during the long intermis
s. eion between the first and second
races. Then they plied' their wares
with great success.
Miss Marjorie How land, sitting in
the box opposite the central entrance,
did not know that the young man
who finally sat down beside her had
admired from a distance some time
before. He was evidently one of the
traveling race fans. He stood on the
steps behind the box. in which she
sat, coaxing the boy whose business
it was to say, "checks, please," to ask
for the seat beside her. "If you do
it, she'll think that you have a right
to, see?" he pleaded. "She might not
let me, if I asked."
Miss Margaretha Grimmel's win
ning way sold sandwiches galore. One
youthful galhnt whom she approached
voiced the sentiment that he could
let her sell him sandwiches all day.
She did sell him a generous supply.
She and Miss Emily Keller were seen
together selling down the grand stand
stand aisle.
Miss Helene Bixby worked her bas
ket like a collection plate. She
started it at the end of one row and
let it pass along, gathering coin and
losing contents until it was empty.
Miss Marie Riley sold generous
amounts of sandwiches. One of the
very young girls who wore the cap
and veil was a splendid saleswoman.
Hr basket of sandwiches had to be
constantly replenished, for at one
glance of her large appealing eyes, the
bashful swains dug down into their
pockets for the purchase money.
Miss May Mahoney looked very at
tractive in her Red Cross cap and
white costume. Pretty Mrs Fred
Hamilton wore a little satin skull cap
with Red Cross stitched on the front
with a well arranged veil caught on
top. She merely held her basket
-within reach, while the hungry men
on the lower rows helped themselves
and dropped their money in the bas
ket. !
One of the cunningest sights was
a little girl dressed in a blue and white
striped nurse's uniform with regula
tion white uniform and cap, who sold
matches to the men who bought
cigars fron. the grownup girls.
After the races well-nigh every one
who could went out to the Country
club for dinner or dancing and spent
the evening relaxing after the strenu
ous work of the afternoon. The most
nerious result of the races was the
host of sunburned faces which were
contracted by the girls who sold the
Red Cross supplies.

The Orderly Mind
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Is your mind a neat, well-ordered
place to which you can go with a
definite certainty of finding what you
want? Or is it a jumble of unrelated
and uncatalogued ideas?
There are a great many people who
have a passion for keeping every
thing that comes their way. String,
wrapping paper, newspaper clippings,
pictures cut out of the magazines,
half-worn gloves, faded artificial flow
ers, old clothes to make over, bits of
broken iewelry and articles of possi
ble usefulness ranging over a field
which embraces worn-out satin slip
pers and recipes for making lemon
pie.
Such people can seldom count with
certainty on ""finding anything when
they want it. They dive into an old
packing trunk longing to find grand
mother s treasured Paisley shawl and
come up with a jet girdle in one hand
and the top of a velvet sofa cushion
in the other.
First of all, they should never have
accumulated such a lot of "junk."
Secondly, if they insisted on the ac
cumulation, they should have arranged
some sort of a filing or cataloguing
system.
Just, like that jumbled up, disor
dered and almost useless -attic trunk"
is many a mind.
Knowledge of all sorts is useful.
But the average human being has not
an endless capacity for acquiring ideas
or for retaining and relating them.
The wise thing for most people to
do is to have one main mental inter
est in life and two or three lesser ones
and a perfectly receptive attitude
toward all sorts of worth-while ideas.
A very brilliant and successful man
who is general manager of a large
corporation generally asks an appli
cant for a position of importance if
he has a fad. That does not sound
like an important requisite for a sales
man or department manager, but the
man who is actually earning every
dollar of his $100,000 salary has an
opinion on the matter which is well
worth considering.
His mentality is sure to be at loose
ends, like the disordered attic trunk
we contemplated a while ago.
When your desk overflow with an
accumulation of papers, you clear it
out; when your packing trunk be
comes a grand litter of odds and ends,
you indulge in a house cleaning orgy;
when your mind is a mass of unrelated
facts, why not make an effort to put it
in order?
How are you going to do that?
Easily enough. You need not think
about anything you do not choose to
dwell upon. You simply take your
will power, and by using it remove
your own attention from thoughts of
whether the Jones girl is prettier
than you and whether the Smith boy
meant to be rude to you last night.
You refuse to steal hours from work
in order to indulge in cogitations
about those handsome white shoes
you saw in the window at the cor
ner, and efforts to remember whether
that new fox trot step was one-two-three-dip,
or one-dip two-dip. i
Then you proceed to eliminate
thoughts about how unfair it is that
you are only getting $10 a week and
now cruel it is that your parents want
you to be in by 11. You stop ponder
ing your years lest vou never find The
One for whom you can care. So much
lor clearing out the trunk in the atticl
Now to set it in order. You arc
earning $10 a week for selling silks
and you know nothing more about
selling silks than that thirty-six inches
make a yard, six yards make a dress
and a great many dresses are made of
blue toulard this year. You proceed
to study the weaves of silk, the way
they are dyed, the way they are
woven, where they are manufactured,
the wearing qualities of textures and
the color durability of dyes. You
make it your business to know silks,
to know the becomingnets of pat
terns and colorings to definite indivi
duals. That's your job. You concen
trateon.it and study it.
This is what he says: A man who
thinks only along one line, who con
tents himself with the problems of
his own department and never glances
in- any other direction but straight
ahead, gets into a rut and a mighty
narrow one at that. He never has a
chance to stand off and get a perspec
tive on his work. The ,chap who
makes a fad of motor boats, for in
stance, stands off on the decks of them
and gets clean new air into his blood
and has a general tonic and stimulant
and youthifier of the best sort. He
sees the parts of his job in their rela
tive positions and he comes back to
his job with new energy.
Running along on one track all the
time is hard on the tracks and it
causes friction between the track and
the wheel. Moreover, sticking to one
thing too steadily makes a man go
staie, as an atnietic trainers know.
This is the opinion of a bie man. I
respect it because he has proven him
self worthy of respect and because the
opinion stands the laboratory test of
lite.
But the man who is trvinc to hold
tne position as otlice manaeer of a
big corporation and who cives Dart
of his energy to getting up a good
game ot golf, part to writing plays,
part to trying to be an expert dancer.

Advice to Lovelorn
By Beatrice Fairfax
Go to Your Relative.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I married a man
believed to be honorable to escape the
unpleasant atmosphere of my home. My
parents did not know of my marriage, and
th news came to them In a roundabout way.
1 waa terribly upbraided.
They learned this man was married and
separated from his wife, while I was led
to believe he was divorced. I have con
sented to hav thla marrlaga annulled, but
my parents ara not aatisfled, but make my
Ufa wretched. I thought ot leaving and
boarding with a relative, but aa I am only
IS years old, and not earning a substantial
salary, I don't know what to do. L. K.
Your people are probably a little
excited and hysterical over what they
feel is disgrace. Of course, they don't
mean one-tenth of what they say, and
equally, of cnurse, you in your tragi
cally unhappy state read a great deal
they had not intended into their re
marks. The very best thing for every
body concerned would be a separation
that will enable everybody to calm
down and realize that this is a blunder
not a case of intentional evil-doing.
You can do nothing better than go to
the woman relative of whom you
speak., There is absolutely no reason
why you should feel disgraced, but
there is every reason why you should
proceed more cautiously all the rest
of your life.
Explanation Is Due You.
Dear Miss Fairfax: Am a stnnographer
In a law firm, and hav been receiving at
tentions from my employer for the last
year.
Last week, while dining at a popular
restaurant, he received a telegram and after
explaining that ho had an Important busi
ness matter to attend to, left me, slating
he would return In half an hour. I waited,
but he did not arrive, and, although I hav
seen him dally alnce, he will not talk on
th subject and haa treated me cooiy ever
sine. Shall I demand an explanation T
ALICE.
You did not tell me quite enough.
If there was an honorable open
friendship between you and this man,
the fact that he is your employer
makes no difference. As man and
woman you are on a par, unless you
are foolish enough to permit yourself
to be patronized and to submit to
playing "beggar maid" to his "King
Cophetua." If he was just a man
friend with no thought of your busi
ness relationship, most surely you
would ask' for an explanation. Don't
"demand" it now, but ask him quietly
and amiably if he doesn't think it fair
that you should be given some ex
planation of the peculiar events of
that evening. -
Loneliness.
Dear Miss Fairfax: It you will answer
this I feel that you will not only ha favoring
myaelf but many other lonesome young folk
as well.
I am an art student, hav been la New
Tork a year and don't bellev J hav met
any on person twice.

Is ther a club In New Tork where young
working men and women can meet for a

The problem of loneliness is one
which I have said again and again I
consider the great tragedy of life in
all large cities. It is one with which
the individual has to struggle and
which each of us must work out for
himself. There are .neighborhood
clubs, and in any church there is an
opportunity for the young man or
woman who comes and offers in alt
sincerity to give his or her services in
the church work. In your particular
case, it seems to me that through the

I strnction you are attending, you

It is of black Satin, widely belted and
