Dear Old Ladies Are
Knitting for the Soldiers
Dear old ladies at the Old People's
home on Fontenclle boulevard have
caught the knitting fever. Mrs. Rob
ert Goodman, 75 years young, was
the first to catch it and now at least
twelve of the old ladies are busily
plying their needles, knitting sweat
ers and wristlets and helmets for the
soldiers and sailors.
"We're not too old. We want to
do our bit," they say.
There's only one thing that can
call a halt to their needles. This is
a shortage of yarn. A woman mem
ber of the Good Shepherd church has
supplied Mrs. Goodman with yarn
with which to work and Mrs. Isaac
Douglas of the Old People's home
board is trying .to interest other
church women to furnish more yarn.
For the initial payment of $1 for
two hanks of yarn at the National
Service league, all subsequent yarn
used for knitting for soldiers will be
furnished free.

Carrie Chapman Catt
Writes on State Suffrage
Carrie Chapmann Catt, president of
the National Woman Suffrage associa
tion, takes a hand in the Nebraska
suffrage situation in a letter to The
Bee, headed "Accusation and Evi
dence." "Nebraska anti-suffragists arc seek
ing newspaper space in which to in
vite the condemnation of the men of
Nebraska because suffragists are
showing up the connection of the
liquor interests with anti-suffrage pro
paganda and activities. But if the
connection be there, condemnation
cannot attach to showing it up," Miss
Catt writes.
Mrs. Catt reviews alleged il
legitimate methods of defeating suf
frage practiced in North Dakota m
1915, for which she offers evidence
sworn to before a notary public by
prominent women of Bismarck; and
another instance in Ohio, where nine
tenths of the petitions filed against
the presidential suffrage bill were cir
culated by saloon men, she says. -

there was a great exodus of soldiers
from the Armory to pass Sunday at

But they had a last look at the

They reported Monday morning to
Captain Oardncr. Sunday Captain

"Jack" is only six weeks old and

already "Jack" shows siens of his

"The "-. .vide squad' of the Fighting

Advice to Lovelorn
By Beatrice Fairfax
( A Soldier's Wife.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am 22 and have
been going about with a young man one
year my senior for two years. One year
and a half ago he Joined a regiment, much
against iny will, and ever since then we
have had little quarrels. His regiment has
been away since April, which caused me
nervousness, during which time I wrote him
a mean letter and he answered me. telling
me that he would only consider me as a
friend, where he has before offered to marry
me. I have abrogated. As I love him, do
you think I can again regain his love?
A. Z.
A soldier's wife has to be made of braver
stuff than you show. I can recognise that
yeu might not have wanted your sweetheart
to join a regiment, but none of us has the
right to Interfere with the Individuality of
the person we love. After all he could hard
ly Insist that his regiment come back be
cause a certain young woman was nervous.
Tou ought to have been bettor natured about
the whole thing. The only way to regain
his love Is to prove that you aren't to be a
nagging wife of the Irritable type, nor one
who wants everything her own wsy and
who can only be agreeable when her desires
are being satisfied. Good nature, sweetness,
patience and a little loyalty, with patriotism
thrown in, are what you need.
Conversation.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a younr girl,
and find It difficult to keep up a conversa
tion with any of my boy friends. Other
girls, I have noticed, keep them amused
and laughing. I never know what to say.
What should one do when at a loss for
words? What should you say on being in
troduced to an older person? B. E.
When you are introduced simply hold out
your hand cordially and repeat the name of
the person you are meeting. Say how do
you do, or that since you have heard so
much about him or her, you are glad to
meet at last. Don't try to ferce a conver
sation or do It all yourself. The best talk
ers are often only good listeners. The thing
in which the other person Is interested la
the one about which he or she will enjoy
most talking. Don't think about yourself,
but try to make a gueBS at what the other
person Is thinking about or what appeals to
him. If you can temporarily put yourself
in- the background and feel that the person
Is self-conscious and ill at ease and that
it Is your particular Job to make him or
her comfortable, you will find your whole
attitude altered. Read newspapers and
magazines, the topics of the day. What do
you know about the war? About the Rus
sian situation? The campaign under the
crown price? Are you posted about our
own political affairs? Do you know anything
about base ball in the big leagues or any
thing under the sun outside of your own
personal sphere? You can't talk unless y6u
have something to talk about.

"I'm bored to death I But every
body's reading this book, and I feel
as if I really ought to," yawned Cyn
thia. "Is it Instructive?"
"Not a bit."
"Well written?"
"Not particularly. It's just a novel;
but everybody says its terribly thrill
ing, and all the people I know are
talking about it, so I thought I'd bet
ter read it; but I'll be mighty glad
when I come to 'Finis.' "
"I don't see .much in golf," re
marked Seward, grimly. "All the
boys at my club are taking it up,
though, so I'm cutting out tennis and
riding, and I'm chasing the little
white pill around the green, but I
don't see any sport to it and I'll be
darned glad when some of ths bunch
go back to the courts again."
"I wonder how much good the ex
ercise is doing you?" asked Cynthia
scornfully. "How can a man play a
game he doesn't like?"
"How can a girl read a bocjk she
doesn't enjoy unless, of course, it's
Green's History of the English Peo
ple or Nietszche?" I asked.
First Cynthia gasped, ' then she
picked up the offending book to

Seward's laughter.
There are a pair of them for you
a pair of the idiots who are doing
things they do not enjoy, and dong
them for no other reason under the
shining sun than that silly synco
pated one, "everybody's doing it." I
have always had a perverse little no

a perfectly good reason for not doing

When you are floating along with

stand out admirably because of the

fall far behind, you show up less ad

The point is to express your indi

can't do that by depending too mucn

by ignoring the fact that they have
to be slightly independent on what
you are doing.

The matter with most of us is that
we are frightened to death to say, "I
don't know." No one worth while
despises any one else for acknowledg
ing that he happens to be informed
on a certain subject. In fact, to con
fess "I don't know" carries with it
the idea that you dare confess because
there are other things about which
you do know a great deal !
If you are strong enough to lead a
suffrage movement intelligently, no
one is going to despise you for
acknowledging that you don t under
stand the navigation of a boat. You're
only a bore when you pretend that
you do and stupidly block intelligent
discussion by your pretense of having
information on a subject, where you
can't contribute one real idea.
Don't torture yourself by trying to
learn to foxtrot when you really hate
to dance. If you are going to be heavy
and awkward and hard to drag about,
how can you expect any one to enjoy
your performance? But if you talk
well the man who gets a chance to sit
and rest at your side may find you an
actual oasis in a desert.
Don't he stubborn in your refusal to
learn new things but do be selective
enough to pick out the things you
want to know, the things you like to
do and to stand for something worth
while in the field you enjoy rather
than to trail as an "also ran" in a
field where you are outclassed.
Not every broad jumper can run five
miles, and not every hundred-yard
sprinter can vault the pole. Be a spe
