MISS KELLER TO SERVE FOR
MISS NEVILLE.
By MELLIFICIA-Oct. 5.
What to wear and what to do at
the Ak-Sar-Ben ball is the question
puzzling a great many people, judging
from the letters and telephone -messages
reaching the society room of
The Bee these days.
Ladies seem to be fairly well in
formed. Perhaps they haven't been
so busy filling the family exchequer
and could gather their information in
a more quiet manner. But the men!
At least they are honest, frank and
unashamed that the "hall etiquette"
has not been deeply impressed upon
the social side of their brains.
Gloves:
Long gloves for ladies have almost
entirely d;. appeared. They have given
way to the sleeveless gowns which
made their appearance during the last
few years say, three, at most.
But, the men! Ah, me! They must
be white-gloved and spotless to be
absolutely correct.
Hats:
We can answer that question, with
one little word, pronounced with a
big noise. No! Hats have tried hard to
wedge their way in with everting
gowns, out they have been unsuccess
ful so far. Ladies' hats, of course.
Men's hats rest peacefully in the cloak
room during the evening.
Hair:
It h- i been rumored that most of
the men will dress their own hair with
their every-day militaries. But the
women have engaged every hairdress
er in Omaha and the forecast is "or
naments" and "coiflure" in a variety
.of styles.
Fans: .
Ostrich seems to be the vogue, but
many exquisite jewelci and lace fans
will be seen.
Bouquets:
No one certain style. Orders have
been received b the leading florists
of the city fo arm bouquets and cor
sges. ""he shoulder bouquets are
passe.
D -wing slippers:
The ladies have very properly se
lected slippers to match their gowns
the contrasting colors harmonize.
Some are of colored satins, gold and
silver clo'h, while many are jet
trimmed.
The regular patent leather dancing
slippers (ties) are favored, but among
men who dislike slippers, the patent,
cloth-topped, dress shoes will be
worn.
Leading tailors say there is very
little difference between full dress
suits of this year and last year. The
high waist line is the most noticeable
feature of the 1917 models and they
are cut close-fitting to give the men
a sylph-like appearance.
Onje man wants to know whether
to take the lady's arm in sauntering
around the floor. Not at all necessary.
In fact, most ladies prefer the inde
pendent saunter.
Men 'vho wish to be thoughtful of
their ladies when escorting them to
the dressing room, drop a tip for the
attendant in the lady's hand on leav
ing her at the dressing room door.
No person will be permitted to
dance unless in full dress suit. In the
spectators' gallery, however, . any
kind of clothing is permissible.
All committees have the affairs so
well Jn hand that they promise
."smooth sailing" and assure their
friends that they will not be embarrassed.

And Now the Evening Hat
Advice to the Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
FOR further emphasis on the evening hat ques
tion, we recommend this bridesmaid's hit of
royal purple, lined with moss pink silk. All
bound with amethyst ribbon of the new glycerined
materia! called cheerfully "shoe polish" js the
crown, and more glycerine appears on the swirl of
tiny ostrich tips, pink, blue and amethyst nestling
under a Camouflage of black.
PARIS says: "Top your evening gown with a
hat, milady." And milady obeys, as who
would not obey a mandate with such charm
ing ammunition back of it. Black velvet crown
swinging high above a daring brim of net and
chantilly, and a tortoise shell ornament arranged
with a dash and aplomb of a Spanish comb, and
behold the first and last reason why hats should
be worn with evening gowns. i

Father and Pan titer
Dear Ml Falrfai: I am 11, have been
working for two yoara. and am making
goad. I asked my father it I mlttht have
a few erllora this winter, and It I could
go out once In a while with young men.
I have missed all the goo.t times this sum
mer, aa all the girls 1 grew up with have
friends now, and go out with them, and
when they Invite me. t always make a
third, so I refuse the Invitation. My father
told me that 1 did not need to go out
with young men until I waa ready to get
married. I tola him that his attitude waa
absurd, and that 1 needed a little recrea
tion wlt; peop'e of my own age. He haa
told me be'ore that If I ever bring or in
vtte anybody to call on me they will be
refused admittance. 1 am a lover of music,
a good dancer, and I make hosts of friends,
but when it corm-a to going en ex-urslnns
of any kind, I can't go long. and I am
feeling heartbroken. If my father finds
0 that any particular gtrl friend of mine
Is alni out with young men, I havo to
live that girl up.
Nearly every evening at home an argu
ment la started ami when I quarrel with
my father I just feel miserable because
1 know he loves me and la lollrttlous of my
welfare, but I can't aee any harm In go
ing out with a young man for a little
pleasure occasionally. My mother la dead.
CO.
Of courts good tlmei are a thing on
wMch youth it likely to lay too much
emphasis. But equally age la likely to tor
get tb r rfoc'ly good adage that "all
work and no play makea Jack a dull boy
and .III' an equally dull girl." Undoubtedly
your father wan'e to protect you. He ant
to save yoj from rushing around madly
In aearch .f exeltoment and waatlng your
youth and health and c'.rength on trivial
pleasures. I think a better way tor him
to protect you would b to let you have
an ooraitohal ian call on you. Then he,
himself, might coin In and meet them,
r ike frlenda with them and figure out
who will be good companions for hll young
daughter. Don't tell him again that his
attitude la abaurd. And don't fancy yourself
heartbroken because you can't go chas
ing about to all aorta of cheap entertatn
ments whlih do girls more harm than good.'
Juet make your father feel ai I feel that
it Isn't fair to expect fate to provide you
with a good husband right out of clear
sky; that It I 't safe to shut your home
to your rlenda and to Ignore the fact that
youth nee" enjoyme . and recreation ex
actly as a plant needa sunshine. Father la
a little oo conservative and reacts too far
against 'he foolish gayetlea that have such
a hold on young people today. You too must
compromise.
A Lack of Fine Feeling
Dear Mlsa Fairfax: Ia .lt proper for a
young man who haa been giving atten
tion to a girl for a year to bo attentive
to a friend to whom ahe Introduced blmf
He gives her everything and takea her out.
Hie aweetheart lovra him, but do you think
it worth worrying overt PUZZLED.
Thla la net a question of propriety, but
one of consideration and tine feeling. A
man who really loves one girl la unlikely
to want to make love to another and aurely
would not wish to humiliate Ms sweet
heart by demonstrating the charm ano.liet
girl had for him. He la either fickle ot
haa a rather brutal desire to hurt thl
girl who loves him and to glory In showing
hit power.

The Bernstorff revelations show that Germany had an elaborate system here a few months
ago for influencing our congress, and as the N3W York Timet remarks, "If Germany vas spend
ing money to organize disloyalty within the United States when she was at peace with us, she
most certainly did not become mh-minded and stop it the moment she went to war with us."
' ' That part of Count von Bernstorff s note in which he asks permission of the Berlin foreign
office for "authority to pay out up to $50,000 in order, as on former occasions, to influence Con
gress through the organization you know of" in the opinion of the Boston Tramcript "p;ives us
a good lead for inquiry into the effective prosecution of some of the traitorous societies that
were doing Germany's work and getting paid paid for it." The general belief of editorial ob
servers, however, seems to be that the mysterious "organization" referred to by von Bernstorff
- operated by bombarding the legislators with telegrams. Senator Wadsworth, of New York, de
clares that "about the time Bernstorff sent that message I received four hundred telegrams in
one day."
