4u I August 1 a$cL ' That Battle Cabaret Dinner. . To be very truthful, the entertain ment committee at Happy Hollow club "slipped something over" on all the members when it invited them to a "battle cabaret dinner," full of mys tery and thrills. Did anyone care, though? Not a bit of itl Everyone had a splendid time and felt a little touch of war sentiment besides. FUgs were the principal reminder that the occasion was particularly 'warlike" and patriotic. Huge Amer ican flags hung above the doorways and in every portico. Each table had a standard bearing three or four small American nags and flags of the allies, At each place a tiny silk flag reure senting one of the allied nations had been placed and these were the key to the situation. The committes wrote a little note to-the guests at erh table Saying, "You drew these link flags as the boys did their draft rum bers, only it didn't hurt your feelings so much, ihe.note further explained that during dinner only those holding flags ot the same nations would be permitted to dance together and lust with each one of these there n;ir. be onlv one 'lance. . That ingenious committee also dis missed the feature of cabaret girls vith a line. Said they, "You know that the government has asfcel us nil to conserve in every possible way, Wc conserved the cabaret girU for Red Cross nurses. A number o khski uniforms scattered among the guests gave a touch of "baKle" to the scene. Just before desse.t was served a suspicious crackling which suggested a miniature bombirdment sounded from a remote: part of the club house. Then out went thi lights for just a moment As they came on again the band struck up ths Star Spangled Banner and marehhg down the middle of the ball room floor came a little Boy Scout in uniform carry ing aloft a small American nag. then all the diners who had risen to their feet with the. strains of the national anthem applauded vigorously until he made his way the entire length of the room and with a salute had disap peared. , Tables ranged around the ball room and in all the adjoining alcoves were occupied by parties and others came in after dinner for the dancing. Meets Russian Commission. ' One Omaha girl has had the privl lege of meeting the diplomats of the Russian commission who are travel ing across the continentvisiting the various cantonments and large army camps. That was Miss Virginia Pix- ley. who is at Fort Riley, Kan., the guest of Major and Mrs. Louis Nutt man and their daughter, Miss Betty Mitchell. Thursday of last week the commission arrived at Fort Riley and after being escorted from the train by a provisional troop of cav alry, inspecting the post and canton ment and watching a training regi ment pass in review, in the evening they were guests at a reception at the home of General and Mrs. Allen, where Miss Pixley was one of the young women who had the pleasure of meeting them. Miss . Pixley ex pects to return to Omaha the end of this week and then will probably go to Prior Lake, Minn., where her mother,. Mrs. W. A.

"Grow old along with me, The best is yet to be The last of life For which the first is made" sang Rabbi Ben Ezra in Brown ing's immoital poem. Which of us today will accept that philosophy, will recognize the merit and simple beau.y in the suggestion thatiage is the best of life? Today we use every means we can find with which to counterfeit youth. Our clothes, our manners, are made to give the, illusion of youth and our faces are made up to produce it, tool The peace and placidity and simple honesty of age are things which we deny and avoid and evade. We want desperately to be .young and to have the charm and freshness which we think a semblance of youth gives. We iorget mat no cotinterteit is ever really attractive! We ignore the fact that we are entering on a fight where the odds are against us and the weapons all m the hands of the op posing forces. Youth has the vigor and vitality and freshness and buoyancy which we try to imitate. It has them with out using up any vitality or energy trying to get them. All its powers are tresn ana unimpaired for the con test, and we use ourselves up trying to seem like something we are not, ana so we go out into the world worn out irom tne energy we spent in making up to ancear before it Growing old gracefully is an art of wnicn we seem to-know nothing and desire to know nothing. Recenlty I spent an afternoon in a group of people who pursue the arts. ine youngest woman present was twenty, the "oldest inhabitant" was a man of sixtt. He was pathetically eager to seem young enough and gay enougn to De tne partner of the young gin. Jtvery detail ot his costume, irom nis srav. fluttering tic to h i im. maculate white flannel trousers and spic and span "sport shoes" was a negation ot age. No one objected to his careful grooming, out every one uncon sciously revolted against the things his pale tan silk shirt and vivid king blue scarf and handkerchief and silk socks and the band on his white felt hat expressed. If he had been a worn an, to the look of being we 1 tubbed and well manicured and carefully put together, he might have added the offense of an artificial complexion. But for his artificial hair, his toupee, he was easily to be forgiven: while for his false air of gayety and youth- lui enthusiasm he could only be pitied. ine young girl amused herself bv nirting with him .elaborately and meeting his ridiculous advances with an air of equally ridiculous tenderness. the poor old beau was a blot on the beauty of a wonderful June day, cut age was saved irom beinc a travesty oy a marvelous woman in our group. Age had brought her poise and dignity and knowledge and generous sweetness and kindliness tier enthusiasms were big. vital, help ful things not the dance steps and comic opera tunes and love songs which seemed to occupy the foolish old beau's mind.

Dear VI las Fairfax: Recently t met a young man whom I have learned to love, confidence and suggest that she be frankly thirty-three and see whether she could not create a demand for youthful maturity. Then one night she got her chance. group of six of us motored out to r400fn)M th, dangw westcnesier to umc at an inn. xnci sweet, thoughtful, earnest young per son of twenty. Carlotta started out by giving her usual imitation of a gay, foolish, flirtatious and flighty young person of twenty. Suddenly I discovered that the real sweet and twenty was very much interested in a problem of model tenements. Carlotta knew nothing about the nneqtinn rif fintisino- ths nnnr. and she and what makea It worse la that I aea him seemed at first inclined to dismiss the JKOT f.Vy 'Su? V? .V?ha7?. of which legitimate deeper feelings may grow. Dismiss all your foolish ideas about being in love. Look the thing squarely in the -f ace and say to yourselt, this man attracts me strongly. Well, now ! must see if I am clever enough to make him like me." If you lose determine that you must cultivate a little more charm, so that you can appeal to the people you like, and a little more poise, so that you won't idealize any attractive man who happens to come your way.

II a discussion in favor of a little talk about some canoeing parties she wanted to arrange for summer Satur days. She insisted on being trivial, almost as if she were trying in that way to prove her youthful exuberance and gayety. Most annoying Carlotta! At last we succeeded in pinning her down, and she began showing an in telligent interest in the problem of housing the poor a bit more attrac tively than had heretofore been thought possible. From topic to topic we carried Carlotta'. and at last the younger girl had persuaded her to en roll on some splendid committees. Joyfully I said to myself, "Now she will find something in which to take a worth-while and dignified interest." But what really happened was this: Carlotta came rushing in a week later. 'Thank Heaven 1 I found out that I can be frankly mature now that I've got somethiiig worth while to talk about. At last I've discovered that I dare express the things I really think.
