THE KEE: OMAHA. FRIDAY. AUGUST 10. 1917. LJr4 Augusta j Cupid Finds Another War. Bride. "Well, she did have a good-looking hatl" How many similar ejacula tions sisters and mothers and inter ested aunts have made in these last few months since war has made hasty marriages and impromptu wedding costumes the correct thing. Girls must be careful now, for no one can tell whether the dress she dons may be her wedding gown. It was Miss Nellie Kinrel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Kinzel, about whom this remark was made, for last Fri day evening she became the bride of Mr. Horace Ouren, son of Mr. F. W. Ouren of Council Bluffs. Both young people have been pop ular in the younger society set in the city across the river and their en-, Kagement has been an open secret or several years. Mr. Ouren is now stationed with the field artillery in Davenport, la. In the same regiment is Mr. Donald Macrae, 3d, and several other young men of prominent fami lies, who have been pals. Miss Kinzel went to Davenport last week for a! vi5u wiui Mrs. j-zonaia Macrae, oa, who has been staying near her hus band. While there Cupid did some intensive work and she was per suaded to become a bride before the regiment should be ordered away. Mrs. Donald Macrae, 2d. and her daughter, Mrs. Clifford Wolfe,, had gone to Davenport to see the boys off.

Donald Macrae, 3d, gave the bride ' away. Rev. VVhiting performed the ceremony, assisted by the bishop of the diocese. Just before the cere mony the young people sent tele grams to their parents, which were not received until after the nuptial knot had been tied. Mr. Lyons and his aunt entertained the party at dinner at the Black Hawk hotel after the ceremony. Mrs. Ouren will remain in Davenport with "her husband until the troops are or dered south to Deming, N. M., when she will return to her parents' home in Council Bluffs. Mrs. Macrae and Mrs. Wolfe re turned to Council Bluffs the first of the week. They were accompanied by Donald Macrae, 3d, who had a s'fort furlough. Wrightson-Brain Wedding.

Eating Corn. It takes a war to nuke us discover how illogical our normal rations are. Consider coin. We speak of catin( pearls before swine, yet that is what we do when we feed corn to pigs. Corn is distinctively American, and corn dishes are distinctively Ameri can, but the old world tradition is so strong that we seem to prefer wheat. There is no reason why this should be so. Back in the days of iral sport there was no greater deli cacy than corn muffins, corn frit ters, or Johnny cake. But the war is making us appreciate they are j n ?. t as palatable as ever. The nutritive value of corn is almost the equivalent of that of wheat; corn fed products have a well deserved reputation. President Griffin of the Board of Trade adds the final argument for a more general use of corn. He savs the United Slate will raise 3.000.0(H),. 000 hushels of corn this vcar. as com pared with 650,000,000 bushels of wheat. Our allies want a large share of the wheat; but we need not worry about our food supply as long as we've got corn. Let's eat it ourselves Jns t e a d jofj eed i n gj t Jppjgsjorc a lt e . THE BEST MACARONI Sale Advice to Lovelorn By Beatrice Fairfax The Clvr Thine. Dear Mlai Fairfax: Although T am only 23, I have been married five years and have one child living. For the last year or so, whenever my huaband and I go out together he keeps staring at every attractive woman he sees. If I tell him about It he tells me I am Jealoua. Ho also remarks, I saw so and so and she is lovely. No matter where we go ha spoils all my pleasure by Jtin ac tions. People tell me he looks after women In the street when I am not with htm. Mow do you think It would be if I acted Just as he does? MRS. J. Do yon want to be really clever f- Then Instead of lowering your self respect and sacrificing your husband's faith In yau by cheap flirtations, take all the zest out of the game by aiding it Instead of objecting to It! Every time you pass a pretty girl, call bis attention to her. Every time he tella you of tome attractive woman he has aeen, encourage bim to admire beauty. Show faith In him; don't nag; make him think you 'consider him attractive, but too heno'rable to use hie charm in any way that would belittle you. Tour jealousy probably incites him and appeals to his sense of power. Sana, good humor will win the day for you. After all, .there Is no dreadful harm In admiring a pretty woman. Don't drive him to doing more than glance back after the beauty when it passes by! Not Serious! Dear Miss Fairfax: I am It years old and like to speak to some boy friends Occasionally. My father Is very strict and doea not wish me to talk to them. Do you think he should open my letters before I get them? J. M. V. No there isn't any harm In chatting for a moment with a boy friend, but there is so much danger lurking about in our big cities that any very lovng father or mother feels an almost desperate need of protecting a child as young as you. Ask your father t let you read your own let- tera first so that you may have the fun of opening them and feeling a sense of possession In them. Then promise him that, for his peace of mind, you will always hand them right over to him aa toon as you have read them. Tour very Intensity of feeling probably frightens your father. He wants to protect you. He Is wiser than you. Trust a little more to his loving friendship and good judgment. t'npopular Girls. Dear Miss Fairfax: We are considered nice-looking girls, aro well dressed and come from two of the beet families In thia city. However, do not think us conceited, aa we are only stating what other people have said. We are very popular among the girls, and although we have met many boya and have entertained them in our homes, they do not seem to appreciate our kindness, and wnenever mere is an affair In town we are never invited., i We are both eighteen and are extremely aiscouragea aooui mis condition of affairs. Can you please advise ua how to keep men a xnenaenip alter we have acquired It? TWO GIRLS. There are two possibilities, either one of which may keep the boys from liking you. One is that you may be too desperately anxious to please; the other that you are a little inclined to conceit, to self-appreciation and' to boring your callers by exploiting yourselves. Don't run after the boys, and don't let them feel that you are self-centered. Don't be desperately grateful for a little attention, and don't be coldly indifferent. Try the same pleasant, dignified friendliness which wins your girl friends. He Should Not Pay. Dear Miss Fairfax: Is It proper for a young man, wha has been going about stead ily with a girl for the last three years, and who has been Invited by her to spend a day with her while aha la away en her vacation and la stopping at a boarding house accom panied by her mother, to pay for the meals which he receives that day, or should be allow her to ray for them, he beln h guest? A CONSTANT READER. A guest does not pay for his meals. If the young man were visiting the girl at her own home he would not offer to remunerate her for the meals he happened to eat.
