THE BEE: OMAHA. FRIDAY. JULY 20, 1917. ocm 19 Odd Ten Party in Ealt LcUe. Out in Salt Lake City. Utah, on Tuesday occurred a very strange tea parly. Truth to tell, we might not have thought it a real tea party, al though people f title and rank were involved and the sweetmeats which usually appear at tea . time were in evidence. Only the proper setting was tacking. . ; ' ihis queer tea party took place within the prison stockade of Fort Douglas, under the brow of the hill, where interned German naval offi cers were weltering in the July sun. Mrs. Eleanor Blaine . Gcbhard had just arrived in the city, and was given the privilege of vjsting her husband inside the barbed' wire stockade for a short time. She was accompanied by Baroness I. von Elpons, who had been in the city for some time and had received permission to see her husband' and take him a few dainties each after noon. Both women were gowned in immaculate white v summer dresses and carried bundles and packages of sweetmeats and "goodies." They reached the fort just as a pro visional regiment was going through a practice review with colors stream ing and bands playing; but their en gagement for tea seemed much more interesting, so that they hurried into the office of the prison commandant with scarcely a glance at the march ing troops. There they were detained for half an hour while the comman dant inspected their packages. Mrs. C. Louis Meyer and little daughter afe Omaha people spending the summer in Salt Lake City.

Duty is a very magnificent concep tion, but a rather stern one. from ' which romantic people have a way , of shrinking. The instant a certain ; type of man or woman is1 put un-l der restraint, restraint becomes a gall-! ing and unpleasant thing. "Stern I daughter of the voice of God!" that is duty. i! It is just liuniau that's all to cn-j joy doing the things for which you i volunteer and to resent being led off; by the ear and forced to do them. The cleverest and most successful mother I ever knew made it a point; to eliminate "don't" from her vocab ulary. She managed a high-strung daughter and an arrogant son per fectly by dint of leaving them al ways free to choose. Did Lucy want to go motoring with a crowd of gay and undesirable young folks? Mother never said, "Don't! I forbid it," but always, "Lucy, are you happy with those boys and girls? Do you find them satisfying compan ions? Are you willing to have them as your best friends and take the chance of alienating some of the other people we know? Let's talk it over. Of course, you are perfectly free to go if you like, but maybe when you think about it you'll prefer not to go." "Prefer," you notice. That treat ment worked very nicely with Lucy, and it can be guaranteed to prove effective in at least four cases out of five. The reason a great many men and women chafe at the restraint of mar riage and fail to be quite loyal to their marriage bond is because they feel all their freedom to choose is taken from them. The woman who turns into a jealous inquisitor or a suspicious prosecuting attorney in her attitude toward everything doesn't know much about the fundamental facts of human nature. "Having the name as well as the game," is a non chalant or daring attitude as you choose to call it. But it exists and great is the per centage of people who flirt because they are called flirts and wander from home because they hear a nagging reiteration of complaints that they seem best to enjoy themselves away from home. The power of suggestion is great, you know. That is another funda mental of human nature. If a wife whines out to her husband that she can see he is bored by her society and that she supposes if he dared he'd go gallivanting after that little Clarkson girl, he is pretty likely to "galivant." "Why? Well, it was suggested to him and lie reacts to suggestion. It was inferred that he didn't "dare,' and human nature hates to take a flare. Ami back of that lies the great fundamental that the wife in exerting her claim to possession in terfered with her husband's claim to freedom. The other evening my friend Rita expressed an attitude toward mar riage which will sound radical when fir3t vou read it, but which has the basic" quality f sound, sane knowl edge Of human nature. "Beside love, the man I marry is going to prom ise me three things- or their alter natives. I want respect and fidelity and companionship. He must prom ise to give them to me or, if he feels he dare not guarantee that he will continue them always, he, must prom ise me instead the same freedom he takes." The point is not whether a woman takes advantage of such a promise; it is that she gives a man at once the right 'to freedom if he wants it, and insists in turn that he must be just enough to grant her freedom, too. AH the so-called "old-fashioned" men are going to grit their teeth at this juncture and remark sotto voce that they would love to tell "Rita and her "biographer" what they think of them. But people who really think will see the safeguard to love there is in such an honest "fifty-fifty" divi sion of freedom.

The woman who adds to the beau tiful basic qualities which make her wife and sweetheart and mother the common sense which makes her ab solutely refuse to be a jailer or a captor or a superintendent wins. Real friends don't spy on each other. True friendship is based on respect for per sonality and individuality. Is mar riage to fail of the generosity which makes friendship so splendid? Mylady Would A WHITE felt sombrero, a white flannel skirt, a little blouse of heavy white habutai, and then, to top it all in glory, a won derful little coat of cadet blue (call it gray, if you like) and white checks. See what buttons can do when they march in orderly array. Behold the points of those saucy little triangles which top the pockets. You have no yacht? Well, try it on the ocean strand or out on the golf links, or in the country club piazza or on a trip to any watering place. You will look smart, and the world will show that it appreciates the fact. Advice to Lovelorn By Beatrice Fairfax Toil Wert Wronf . Dear Mlis Fairfax: Some time ago I, through buslnoa, met a young woman about my ewn age (2!) and became Interested in her. We have since been seeing cash other in business, but as I have never been for jnally Introduced I thought It Improper to approach her on any subject which did not concern business. Several days ago, with a friend, I met this young woman with several girls and boys. She asked us to spend the evening with 'them. They conducted themselves Im properly and my girl acquaintance did not act any better than her friends. I said that as It was late I would go. Was I Justified In leaving the girl behind or fio you think I should have offered to take her home? - I have again met the girl In question since and she greeted me In the usual way, at the same time stating that she was aston ished at the conduct of the other girls. Of course, I did not mention anything to her, efceept saying that she ought to be more careful about gelecttnf her compan lone. . . M. K. I am afraid, my hoy, that In gtvlna your self the position of critic you acted like a prig and not tike a gentleman. Toil reed not have conducted yourself as these peo ple were doing, but once you had joined the party you should not have left It with out taking a chivalrous Interest tn the ques tion of how your girl friend was going to get home. Since you knew that she might have to take the risk ot going home late at night and unescorted you ought to have been 'unselfish enough to consider the dan. ger thli might mean ' to her rather than the terrible menace (?) there wai for CLEARANCE SALE WEAR A DIAMOND AND FINE WATCH WHEN YOU CO ON YOUR VACATION You'll laying up money vry time you make a payment.

There are now nineteen states out of a total of forty-eight in the union in which woman may vote for presi dent of the United States, and eleven of the fifteen largest states in the union have woman suffrage. Ne braska added 77,520 square miles of suffrage territory to' the LTnited States, the total area now being a little more than half of the country. The total number of women of vot ing age to whom complete or nearly complete suffrage have been given is 8,557,308, and 48 per cent of this num ber have gained suffrage since the 1st of January.

The women fell over themselves in the beginning to register, she says, but there were misunderstandings due to the fact that they had not had enough training and so on, and it is because of this that she advises American women not to make the same mis takes.
