Ut-j August 7 Officers' Wives At the Post. Some people have always been in terested in the army and its various phases, its people, pastimes' and pleasures. Now, however, that the army is in the spotlight everyone ; shows by her swagger stick, the mili tary cut of her coat, the buttons or the shape of her hat that she has been awakened to a sense of the import ance of army affairs. All this acquired militarism has no effect on a little group of charming women out at rort Crook. To them army life is second nature and they love it as a journalist loves his news. They are wives of officers in the regular army and, although several are former Omaha girls, they have lived in almost any part of the coun try from Alaska to Cathay. Only three or four of them are reg ularly stationed at Fort Crook. Major Hamilton, who came to replace Ma jor Krug, has a delightful wife and three enviable youngsters, a boy and two cunning little girls. Mrs. Hamil ton is known to her old Omaha friends as Bessie Her, for here her en gagement was announced and from here she went as a bride to the Philip pines. Mrs. Piatt, wife of Captain Piatt, is another true army woman. She is good-natured and fun-loving and can tell a story with the best of them. Mrs. Wilhelm. wife of Lieutenant Wilhelm, is another former Omaha girl. Her quarters are at Fort Crook, although the lieutenant is not here now. Mrs. E. L. DeLanney, wife of Dr. DeLanney, recently of the bouth Side ts a new comer in army circles, She has many friends on the South Side as well as new friends among the army folk. Captain's Byroade's good-looking wife and daughter, who came from the east a short time ago, are here only temporarily. They ex pect to leave the first of the week for duty elsewhere. These attractive women have the resourceful air and the easy grace that seems to come from knocking about the world at the call of Uncle Sam They are cordial and friendly, not at all ostentatious or aloof. The fortunes of war, its disappointments and its happy surprises, they take very phil osophically. Busy with their house holds and their own duties, they still find time to show courtesies to the wives of militiamen who come for short visits at the officers' club. Pa tiently waiting for whatever comes, they make the best of every situation until orders come for the next move, Modesty is their prevailing virtue, "We don't do anything," they say, "of coure our husbands are public figures, but we are not at all inter esting. Why we can't even do Red Cross work satisfactorily because there are so few of us and we are not in close touch with supplies. Once in a while we get a bolt of muslin down from uptown and sew a few seams in that by way of an attempt to do our bit, but that's all. All we do is to tag along and pack the trunks, and even at that we have help." ARMY OFFICER'S BRIDE IS HOME FOR VISIT. 1 j i The Latest Hats of Summer 1 1 IPS!) iitei nil i V 1 First Military Wedding. Omaha's first military wedding was performed today at 5 o'clock when Miss Margaret Eleanor Dagget, daughter of Lieutenant and Mrs. By ron B. Dagget, was united in mar riage with Captain Arthur Boettcher of the Fort Omaha balloon school. Rev. Frank A. Case of Des Moines, who is filling the pulpit at Calvary Baptist church, performed the cere mony at the home of the bride's par ents in Fort Omaha, with only the army people cf the post present. Major H. D. Hersey, commanding officer of Fort Omaha during the ill ness of Major Frank P. Lahm, gave the bride in marriage. Duties at the chief signal corps office in Washing ton, where he was recently trans, ferred, prevented the bride's father from coming to Omaha for the cere mony. The bride wore a three-piece travel ing suit of gold jersey cloth heavily braided with gold. A Vogue hat of white chiffon and velvet and white slippers completed the costume. She carried bride's rdses. Mrs. Howard White, wife of Cap tain White, a bride of the spring, was (he only attendant. She wore a suit of electric blue jersey silk, a small white French velvet hat and white slippers. I The khaki suits of tne officers, the many American flags which decorated the house and the large American flag under which the ceremony was performed gave the military note to the occasion. Captain and Mrs. Boettcher left im mediately after the ceremony for a wedding trip "somewhere in the United States." The captain has two weeks' leave of absence, after which they will be at home in Fort Omaha. The bride's mother and brother will remain in Omaha some time before going to' join Lieutenant Daggett in Washington.

If you are afraid to fail you need not hope ever to succeed? The man or woman who knows how to "digest defeat" has conquered it. Experience is knowledge that is largely made up of knowing how to do things be cause you have found out how not to do them. By a process of elimination any clever man with plenty of sticktoitive ness in his nature will be able to fig ure out the right way to do a thing just because he has failed through trying to do it in all the wrong ways. sitting ana wisning you arc m Chi cago won't transport you there. Building "castles in the air" doesn't set up even the foundation stones of a frame cottage on a plot of real ground. Wishing for things, dream ing about them, even trying to imag ine that you can obtain them, won't make them come true for you. The only fairy wand there is to wave is that of intelligent effort. After the sales manager of any corporation has spent a lone time in explaining to a new man how to place a consignment of goods the new man has some perfectly good theories which ought to work. But if they don't and he fails in that iob. he mav go to his next one really equipped to sen because he has tried it a few times and failed at it. Adjusting his personality to meet the needs of the world, studying the requirements of the world and trying to make it feel that he hah something to order , are part of the education, part ot the equipment, part of the very requirements for every man's task. Mistakes made on Monday, may be stepping stones to success on Tues day. Regretting blunders, worrying about them, fearing lest they be re peated and being too terror stricken to try again because once you have gone wrong1 are perfectly good as surances of failure. Eliminate ti midity and you have even in Mon day's complete failure the promise of Tuesday's success. A brilliant and successful woman who has triumphed in a hard selling game told me the story of her begin ning. When sudden overwhelming poverty took practically all she had from her she saved a long coat of real sealskin with which to mask the shabbiness which she feared might be hers all through te long winter. Then she took the position whicli influence had gotten for her. And an undesir able enough position it sechied! With two great packing trunks full of sam ples, she started off to sell all sorts of knit goods to the dry goods stores of Maine. The very first store she visited seemed well impressed by her goods. She took pains to show them advan tageously and felt that the sale was almost assured when the buyer ask ed her to return the next afternoon, since he had seen only one line which compared with hers in any way. When she returned the next day the buyer took her into his private office and said to her very frankly: "Mrs S., I'm going to be very honest with you. I like your line fully as well showing and your prices are just as good. It's a toss up between you, ana orainarny l a divide the order. But t he man who's showing the A.I 1 - ' I'll a . inner line is so suaoDy, nc lias a family , to support and he needs our order, so we's given it to him. It won't niatter to a woman in your po- aii mil. Out of that little prank of fate, out of that foolish first failure, the woman whose seal coat lost her a chance wrested blank discouragement which lasted for three or four davs. And then suddenly woke up to the fact that her failure was a merciful thing, it had taught her how kind and human were the people with wnom sue naa to deal! It had shown her that appearances don't always tell the story. It had convinced her that salesmanship is more than a matter of being well dressed and having a wonderful line of goods to show. If she had not been alert and ready to adjust herself to the unexpected; if custom or prejudice had bound her down, she never would have ventured out on the road as afemihine "travel ing salesman." But once she had gone she learned to take the measure of herself and the people with whom she dealt and to use her knowledge sanely and well. She is now a most efficient business woman and the reason is that she knows human na ture as well as the principles of trade. n mtm mi u , Women's Activities Troy, N. V., lias more women watre earners than men. Five cities in Florida now have mu. nicipal woman suffrage. Equestrianism has become fashion able among the women of Tokio. Women and girls form more than one-third of the wage earners in the eight largest cities of New York state. t Miss Winfred McLaughlin of Gor iiani is the first woman to pass the ex amination for the New Hampshire State bar. Miss Harriet Templeman has been appointed assistant passenger agent in the Baltimore offices of the South ern railway. In the British army women are serv ing as doctors, nurses, storekeepers, orderlies, cooks, horse trainers and motor drivers. Mrs. Edith Wharton ,the novelist, is one of the prominent American women now actively engaged in war relief work in France. Reports from Japan indicate that the equal suffrage movement has re cently taken a strong hold on the women subjects of the Mikado. A Kansas woman last year caught over 300 bushels of grasshoppers and by drying them and selling them for chicken feed cleared over $560. The first convention held in Amer ica for the consideration of the civil and political rights of women met at Seneca Falls, N. Y.. in 1848.

Icar Mlaa Fairfax: I am a Christian and am In lov with a flrl, and I know aho lova m. but the only thlnn that la kplng ua apart la that aha la ot Jawlah faith. Now, Mlsa Fairfax, la It trna that a OhrlMlan la not permitted to marry a Jcwlah airlT I lova her dearly. JACK. "Permission" does not enter into your problem. The girl's parents might forbid her to marry out of her own faith and her religion, or yours may be against it. But the law of the land certainly does not forbid it. There are a few obstacles to happy marriages between Jews and Chris tians. On questions of religion, they may differ. But they have been very differently brought up. Training and custom and tradition give them very separate view points, and so there is a little difficulty in adjusting the part ners to a happy marriage and a great deal of difficulty in getting the fam ilies on both sides to be friendly. Yet some of the most perfect marriages I know have been between Jews and Christians. It is all a matter of broad mindedness and understanding and adjustment. 1 Ak lllm to Call.
