THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY. AUGUST 31. 1U17. - mi i By MELUFIC'A-Aug. 30 Parish Revels at Lawn Fete. Five hundred people thronged the grounds around St. Cecilia's pro-ca-thcdrat last evening at the opening of two-night lawn fete for the benefit of the cathedral. Dozens of electric lights made the cene bright and lighted the gay booths where the young wonjen's sodality and the mar ried women of the church sold every thing from candy to handkerchiefs. The young women conducted a - country store, where they sold gro ceries, coffee and all kinds of provi sions. Mr. thomas Swift became the fortunate possessor of a package of hardtack from this flourishing store. The married women's bazar con tained every sort of dainty needle work, aprons, camisoles, guest tow- . els, handkerchiefs, knitting bags and a number of handsome articles such as a cutglass water set and a large flower vase ,or urn, ' contributed by Mrs. B. A. McDermott and Mrs. M. Shirley. The articles which caught the eye of most -of the young ladies, however, were the beautiful hat boxes which the women had made. Large round boxes of gaily-colored paper, some with beribboned tops and some without, were the cynosure of all fem inine eyes. Miss Claire Helen VVood ard had her eyes set on a specially pretty hat box. Miss Catherine Cartan was shop ping at the bazar for a bride-to-be friend. Her purchase was a very novel laundry bag of pink and white cre tonne, l he , nag was shirred on a coat hanger covered with pink and white ribbons and opened at the side, so that it could be hung on the wall or in any convenient spot without in terfering with its usefulness.

Because they are not trained for any particular service they have even offered to take instruction in any branch of Red Cross service desired if they are assured they will be given an opportunity to do this work. Who are they? Well, Miss Myra Nourse, secretary in the Omaha Red Cross chapter of fice, is the only one who knows nd she won't tell. Not until Frank W.

EAT fF 'i'lttiftnuiift NTJJSIIATSSt "FOR THE LADIES" What ib Your Ideal? Ey BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Just what are you making of life? Peace ofmind? Happiness? Suc cess? A chance to serve? It may be that yy are trying to secure them all and that you find all of them eluding you. We have the highest authority for stating that "No man can serve two masters: for either he, will hate te one and love the other, r else he w ill hold to the one. and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon." Peace of mind demands a clear con science, an assurance of honest deal ings, the certainty of effort made in the right direction. But none of these things guarantee worldly success, or achievement, or the applause of the multitude. The "durable satisfactions" of life are not necessarily those which arc accepted by the general public in this money-mad and mercenary ape of ours. But the really happy people are the people who have peace of mind, who have possessed the durable satisfaction of service and generous love and honesty and kindness and cle?n striving toward a worthy 'goal. Idealism is likely to be sneerH at by two out of three neonle. "That r'nesn't sret you anything," says the Practical Man, when he sees some one sop to lead a timid and hesitat ing old woman across the crowded rtrerts. Of course such a .kindness would not be done by anvone who stopped to reckon up what it would "get him." But the sort of man who instinctively offers cotirtesv and con sideration "to those who need it has "oten" something out of his own at titude. Fineness, serene sweetness, responsiveness to the gentle beauty of service are his. Thi is a subject on which it is all too easy to be poetical and imnrac tical, and it" is the sort of, subject about which no one can write very usefully unless she is willing to "come down to brass tack's." And so I am going to be mercenary and co'd-bloode'd and calculating about the thincs which peon'r who are habitually so have to miss!

I at once drunkard and a gambler has ' very little chanca for happiness. Tou would probably not be heartbroken If you were to separate from this man. Of course, you would miss his companionship for long months. -Tou would bo lonely and perhaps desperately unhappy. But wounds do heal. After a time we cease nilsstnfr what once meant almost life Itself to us. Tou say that you as miserable, now. Terhaps If you were brave enough to give up an unworthy man you would be more at peaca with yourself than you are now. Does he absolutely re fuse to make an honest effort at reform?

It feeds the body, dresses it in luxury and buys for it expensive playthings, hut it cannot purchase real friendship or love or freedom from sickness and suffering, or secur ity from any of the problems which rise inside ot the human being. Success bring admiration, applause, flattery, the distinction of being point ed out as a person who has accom plished something big. But it brings envy, too and deceit and publicity when the one wants peace and quiet and the need of living up to what the public expects. "The tumult and the shouting dies; The captains and the kings depart; Still stands thine ancient sacrifice. , An humble and a contrite heart," wrote Kudyard Kipling. And in those lines we find the secret suggestion of the utter vanity of pomp and cere mony, of riches and position, of achievement and adulation as com pared with the rich beauty of feeling which can well up in the human heart. The "durable satisfaction" of life are the things which a man who longs for happiness must idealize. The man who visions himself, not as a success ful engineer, but as the man who ftives to his fellow men a road for traffic through hitherto unpicrced mountains, has an ideal which can bring him happiness. The money his calculations .may earn for him, the praise and position his achievements can win, arc only stimulating to pride and sell-esteem. They are brilliant and beautiful to look at. But the engineer cannot warm an emptv heart with them or satisfy any of his natural human longings for love and companionship. I often wonder whether the life of the great "K of K" was a success or a failure! Did Kitchener want to he a great soldier, a leader of ,meu so that his pride might bo satisfied and so that he might experience the joy of standing alone on the summits? Or did he want to help his country and his countrymen? If he was working for himself, the great English soldier was a failure, even though he was a hero.
