A souvenir of the occasion -- "was
given to each soldier in the form of

Scores of newly commsisioned of-
ficers of the United States army, all
Omaha young men, were guests of
the Commercial club at a luncheon
at noon, when the club honored
Omaha's sons for the honor those
I sons have brought to the Nebraska
metropolis by winning their commis
sions in the three months of inten
sive training at Fort Snelling.
The club dining room looked like
the dining room of the Army and
Navy club in Washington, so uni
versally did the smart uniform of the
nation meet the eye. Everywhere was
the olive drab and the yellow puttee.
Colonel F. A. Grant of the quarter
master corps presided. Mayor James
C. Dahlman and A. W. Jefferis talked
to the young officers, assuring them
of the pride Omaha feels at the suc

once they face the Hindenburg line.

made in their work of the first uncer
tain work, and of the inspiring con
trast when the final review came be
fore the boys left, when 3,000 men in
perfect order passed in review before
the commanding officer. He said he
believed the conscripted army would
prove the greatest army America ever
saw, and perhaps the finest the world
ever saw. "They say the Canadians
and the Australians are the best sol
diers in Europe at present. 1 Deneve
the Americans will prove to have all
that they have, with a little Yankee
brains thrown in for good measure."

the board of governors of Ak-Sar-Ben
invited all the young officers to be at
Ak-Sar-Ben den next Monday night

Advice to Lovelorn
By Beatrice Fairfax
He Is Wrong.
Dsnr Miss Kalrftx: My fianco and I lov
each other dnrl-, und for the lnsi nine
months hav bexn very hspjiy. Wo have al
ways tn truthful to one another and hav
no ssrrsts. Now that the swimming- season
la her?, I go down to the beach about twlca
(luring the week, and occasionally ie a
man I have known lor three years, and. al
though I merely aay "good day." my flume
doea not approve. Ho aaya and firmly be
ltevea that I should not go anyhi-r or
Uave any pleasure that ho cannot ahare.
Io you think he Justified In denvtng
me thli Innocent, healthful pleasure, which
I have thoroughly enjoyed (or five years?
1 havo given up all my friends for him
at his request, and did ao willingly.
L. C. M.
Xa you state the ease, there seems to be
absolutely no reason why you should be de
prived of your trip to the beach and of the
swimming which yen so much enjoy. It
seems aa tf your fl.ir.ee were somewhat In
clined to be Jealous and suspicious and quite
unfair In his demands. Hut, perhaps, there
la another aide to the sioi-y. Tou may be a
little Inclined to coquet; you may be overly
fnd of good times. It there is no morj in
the case than you hr ve stated, he is wronK
and you ought to bj allowed to enjoy your
swimming without further discussion.
U( Cannot Be Forced.
Der Miss Fairfax. Am 17, natumil at
tractive and look about two years older. I
havo an older sister, eight years my senior.
oFr the last few years my sister has been
going ahout with a crowd of boys and gtrl
and enjoying merely Innocent fun. ly sis
ter has a great liking for a young man. but
be has never shown tho slightest sign of
reciprocation. He has apparently fallen In
love with me, but In view of tho fact that
my sister Jlkes him, my parent will nol
permit me to go out with him. Jo you
think my reople jumlfled In acting tn this
manner? A CONSTANT KKADKK.
I wonder if you are a selfish and conceited
girt or merely an honest youngster who
happens to have attracted tho man lu-r
alater likes and who has a sensible recog
nition of the fact that a man's liking ctni
not bo compelled. Ferhaps this man really
Is Interested tn you and In that case for
bidding him to see you certainly will nut
add to his liking for your sister, t'erhaps,
however, you have more or less "stolen'
him by youthful coquetry, t know too little
about the case to bo willing to sit as judgt

DOESN'T it look like a military invasion? Don't worry, it is only
a draped turban of black velvet topped with a high cocarde of
cocque feathers. And beneath the chapeau, the suit' of marine
blue touches itself off smartly with blue velvet stitched flatly and com
pactly. The collar is so warm that it dashingly and cleverly threat
ens the rule of furs. The little gilt buttons are so bright that they
dare a November day to be gloomy.
Tips on Current Fashions
Foulard and voile is a popular com
bination for the late summer and fall
frock.
Veils are rather ornamental the
scrolly part making quite a trimming
for the hat, but quite the best style
are those in fine lace of ttfe most cob
webby kind.
Among the vclour hats a favorite is
a soft silky type that resembles the
coaching model of the eighteenth cen
Jury, but instead of being high
crowned these are of the soft, crusna
ble variety familiar to the present
generation.
The very latest lingerie and bed
time garments are bloomer or pajama
type. Glove silk, washable taffeta
and batiste in flesh color seem to be
the greatest in demand. A close sec
ond to this pajama garment is the
bloomer or one-piece pajama, not tin
like the nighties so long accepted for
little folks.
To wear with cotton frocks of the
simple morning variety some small

H. J. HUGHES CO., DISTRIBUTORS
There are many people in Omaha today who have a neat little
nest egg laid by, with your ELECTRIC SERVICE COMPANY sit
ting on it, bo to speak. They hare taken advantage of the chance to
purchase the 7 cnmnlative preferred stock at par, offered in small
denominations to rait the most moderate income, and the quarterly
dividends will occasionally serve as congratulatory reminders of their
astuteness and good judgment.
"With pardonable complacency, we venture the observation that an
excellent opportunity for safe and sane saving that is hard to beat
has been furnished. It smacks of "SAFETY FIRST," and those
who now own shares in your ELECTRIC LIGHT COMPANY have
both the satisfaction of the SAFETY feature and the knowledge that
they are among the first to gain it.
While 7 is a handsome rate on any small saving it is the Saving
itself that appeals to most. An active participation in this Company
by its patrons is what we have desired, what is being offered and, by
the way, what we are getting, but there is a certain pleasure in the
additional knowledge that this offer is also proving an economical
advantage to our new partners.
We have shown in another article how the dividend received on
a few shares of this stock will suffice to pay the average annual elec
tric light bill, a feature that should be borne in mind by the smalt
consumers who have not yet interested themselves in this oppor
tunity. While a considerable portion of the stock allotted to this purpose
has already been taken up, either this Company or Burns, Brinker &
Company, 449 Omaha National Bank Building, may yet be consulted
by those contemplating saving by this means. We will be jrlad to on
lighten anyone on the details of the plan.
