THE BEE : OMAHA, SATURDAY. JULY 14. 1917. 13 Lawn Fete Yields $2,278.63. . Friday the Thirteenth may be a ated day, but at least one bit of news has escaped its fatal jinx. Today for the first time the total proceeds of the lawn fete given at Binnie Brae, the John L. Kennedy home in Fairacres, on the last day of June have been computed. It is a grand total and, truth to tell, the money is not yet all in, because the exhibit of Raemakers' war cartoons which Miss Gertrude Young has in charge is still in prog ress at the First National Bank build ing. This will add something to the present amount. A check for $2,278.63 has been turned over to Miss Carrie Millard of the War Relief society. j icuets ana gate receipts orougnt m $616.95. From the ice cream booth Mrs. H. C. Sumney and Miss Ca milla Edholm reported $210; the British booth receipts, which Mrs. W. A. C. Johnson handled, amounted to $368.47; Mrs. S. S.

Wallace sold $53 worth of cakes. Mrs. Kennedy's aunts, Miss Hans com and Miss Francis, gave $100 and $10, respectively, and Mrs. Gould Dietz made a $10 donation. In ad dition to these donations, Mrs. Ken nedy in making her report credits with donations the Nebraska Tent and Awning company, who through Mr,. Henry McDonald put up and took down all the awnings; the Byrne-Hammer company, who sup plied the muslin for covering the booths; the Douglas Printing com pany for the tick.ts, circulars and envelopes; the' Beacon Press, who through Mr. Root also printed tickets and donated envelopes; Junior Nash and James Langan, who brought their ponies; the Boy Scouts for their help; the friends who furnished the free jitney service; George W, McDou gall, the piper, and Mr. Kennedy, for furnishing the band music. Although such a huge and success ful affair had 'many contributors to its success, of course, none was more hard working than Mrs. Kennedy her self, who in her reports credits all the others, but' says nothing of her own services. Miss Millard in thank ing the Eqtiaf Franchise society for the check received, says "it will in sure our existence for many months." Goes to Join Husband in Army.

Deep within usso deep that we often fail to realize it is a respect and reverence for goodness. And on the surface of our knowledge there is a suspicion that actually "pays" to be good. And yet some of us are actually afraid to try it out! Human nature is pathetically afraid of ridicule. A good many of us would die for a principle, but we won't be laughed at for it. Haven't you ever been in a situa tion very much like this? Mabel is lunching with a group of brilliant so ciety people whose worldliness she does not exactly admire, but still rath er envies. All of them take cocktails before their dinner and wine with it and liqueurs afterward. Mabel has a definite principle about drink. She doesn't approve of it; she suspects it of evil effects, and be sides her moral scruples she thinks it looks rather badly for a young woman to drink in public. When asked to "join the crowd in a drink" she is terrified at the thought of seeming critical; she doesn't want to take a "holier than thou" attitude; she hates the thought of seeming to preach. So she ventures a timid: "Honestly I don't care for cocktails." "Have you ever tried one?" asked Mrs. Antrim. "No." Mabel confesses her igno rance shamefacedly not proudly. "Then how do you know you don't like it?" Mabel finds the logic of that irre futable. The cocktail is ordered. She drinks it. Then she can think of no particularly good excuse about the wine or the liqueurs. Mabel is afraid that she will be thought "goody-goody." And so she dares not be true to her real elf. Apart from the right or wrong of drinking, Mabel committed a real sin. She violated her own principles. She betrayed her own soul. She was not honest because she was "afraid to be good." Have you ever found yourself in a similar position? Think about it a moment. Are you very proud now of the way you conducted yourself? Not very long ago a party of young "4 Men's Classy Ox fords, in tan and black, in all sizes, special during this sale, at $2.95 Men's fords, $8 and 21 '' 200 Dainty Tub Dresses, Worth to $12.50, Saturday $5.95 Popular Ginghams in attractive patterns.

A young man whom I know well related the story afterward. His attitude is fairly representative of that of any other decent young fellow. Think it over, girls. One of the guests was little Miss E from Poston. When the first foxtrot with him he asked her to dance with him. "I'm s6rry but I don't dance in public. It just happens that my father doesn't approve. You won't mind if I sacrifice the dance which I'd honestly enjoy and have the satisfaction of living up to my father's ideal of me?" asked the girl earnestly. "And, by jove, I like that little girl. I think her father's rather an old fogey, and I'd hate it if many chaps were so strict with their daughters. But I think it was pretty decent of her to take a chance on having us lauph at her for wanting to mind her dad." That was my friend's comment. "And did you laugh?" 1 asked. "Not a one of us. We were so busy thinking how brave she was to risk having us all ridicule her that we would have been mighty ashamed to do it. She's a peach of a girl; and say, when Norton Jones got up a dance in his studio for her the next week, she turned out to be a wonderful dan cerwaltzes like a dream. A lot of the girls have been giving parties in their houses, and it's sort of fun to stay home for a change." If you have a conviction or a prin ciple or a feeling that you owe it to someone you love to act in a certain way, why be too cowardly to live up to your own ideal? Everybody ad mires bravery. Almost everybody knows how hard it is to take a stand which is different from other people's. If you are on the unpopular side of the question and are ugly and ag gressive about it, of course you make enemies. But if you stand in & lonely minority and sweetly and amiably back your own principles without de manding that anybody else reform to suit you or act in accordance with your conduct, you are pretty likely to make converts converts to the hon esty and sweetness and simplicity that is not "afraid to be good.
