THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY. OCTOBER 27, 1917. 17 I I : r' - fe. I mmmaami'mmammmmmmmm 1 III I By MELLIFICIA-Oct. 26. Christmas gifts in war time l What will they be this year? Will we rush madly from one store to another with long lists of gifts to buy, trying our best not to duplicate vhat we gave to Cousin Jim or Aunt Mary last year? From all I hear I am sure that shop ping will be very different this Christ ma. Simple little tokens for our families and closest friends and the engraved card, which has become so popular, will be the rule. Mot just the war itself, but the movement to send a Christmas pack age to every soldier boy which has been started by the Red Cross will make our Christmas giving at home more simple than ever before. Every minute will be utilized for knitting warm things for the Sammies and the little embroidered and crocheted tri fles on which we were wont to spend so much time will not be in evidence. "It is more blessed to give than to receive" will take on a new and deep er meaning this year, and may no man who is following the Stars and Stripes be forgotten. Play for Soldiers. The comedy, "French Before Break fast," will be played for the benefit of the soldiers stationed at Fort Omaha Friday evening at the Young Men's Christian association quarters. The soldiers will have charge of the first part of the evening's program after which the farce will be given by the same cast that played it at the Swedish auditorium some time. ago.

Mrs. F. H. Cole lost her vote at the Nebraska Federation of Women's Clubs convention Thurs day. Mrs. Cole forgot to bring her delegate's badge. Mrs. J. N. Paul, the state president, ruled no one could vote who had not a badge. "Won't you make an exception in my case," pleaded Mrs. Cole, who holds perhaps the highest office of any Nebraska club woman. She is general federation chairman of civil service Yeform and holds office in many other organizations. "Nay, nayl" said Mrs. Paul. So Mrs. Cole couldn't vote.

"Oratory" is now considered as ob solete as "elocution," said Mrs. Joseph Lawrence, the leader. The public speaking department will hold its first social affair, a luncheon, the first Tuesday in November. Island Baby Gets Bonus Some years ago a bonus was paid to a baby in extraordinary circum stances. The new arrival was born at Balta, one of the outlying islands of the Shetland group, and it seems that it was the first baby to be born on the island for two centuries. The proprietor of the island forthwith sent $125 to its mother, a working woman, who was employed on the island in connection with a fish cur ing station. ' Woolen Combinations. These do not require folding, but is soon as they come in dry they should be smoothed a little and hung on the horse to air at once. If they are thrown down and allowed to, wait they become creased, and these creases will not come out readily witlrthe iron, perhaps not at all. Flan nels should not be ironed, except just the collars, bands or trimmings. By ADELAIDE KENMSRLY. Window shopping is growing pop ular. And why not? Instead of the old Noah's ark kind of store, where you have to go in side and rummage for what . you want, the modern business house has surrounded its building with glass with windows in which to display its goods. True, it is one form of advertis ing, but you would condemn a con cern that had what you wanted and wouldn't let you know about it. Window decorators are- artists some of them and in order to learn just what the latest styles are, and where the goods to your liking may be obtained, walk leisurely down the streets past the shops and in a short time you can decide what you want. There was a time .when milady was timid about standing in front of a shop window, but that time has passed. The habit is popular. Hundreds of persons, men and. women, dress in the evening for the purpose of taking the air and window shopping. They make it a pleasure instead of a duty. They go home and figure on the best for the money. N Why, I have selected $10,000 worth of things in shop windows and returned home to figure it down to $10. When at a loss for something to do call up your friends and have a window-shopping party. It's lots of fun. When you are lonesome, go win dow shopping. If you want to know exactly the kind of goods carried by each store look at their windows. If you are undecided as to the fads of the season look at the win dows. If you want to become an intelli gent shopper look at the windows. If you are wondering how to fur nish a room look at the windows. If the season's latest style in boots has not been made clear to you look at the windows. If you want your husband to have an opinion as to the new hat you are about to select look at the win dows. There isn't anything like it, I tell you. Window shopping is profit able, pleasant and educational all of that and more, too. Look as long as you like. No charge. Note This is one of a series of articles being published in which both merchant and customer will not only be interested, but profit. For out-of-town readers The Bc maintains a free shopping service. Just address "Polly, the Shopper, care The Bee, Omaha." Polly will buy for you with the same care that you would buy for yourself. "I Wonder" You've come to depend upon us for some pleasing dessert, a happy habit which leads you to wondering what it will be "this week."

Joan of Arc 8 Bell In the cathedral church of Notre Dame, Paris, there is a bell which dates from the days of Joan of Arc "the blessed bell" which sounded the tocsin when the Maid- of Orleans ap peared in August, 1429, and Paris was besieged by the English. This historic bell, referred to by Victor Hugo in "Notre Dame de Paris," was given to the cathedral in 1400 by Jean de Montaign, says the v London Globe. It was refounded in 1686, and then rebaptized under the name of Emmanuel Louise Therese in honor of Louis XIV and Marie Therese ot Austria.

A waiter at the Fontenelle undertook a worse job than Diogenes, Thursday night He undertook to locate two women of the 500 delegates at the Nebraska Federation of Women's Clubs who had eaten their dinner at the hotel and forgotten to pay. "I think I know what ray look like, when zay sit at table. Now I know not." He threw up his hands in despair when Mrs. C. H. Marley piloted him through the conven tion hall in search of the absent minded women. "Zay cat everysing from soup to nuts," mused the waiter over his order card. "But I know zee rea son. Zay talk hard 'bout zat elec tion. Zay excited, mad zay forget to pay." Skirts and Dresses These require a skirt board if they are to be done with any comfort This is a board which any carpenter will make, about twenty inches wide at one end and tapering to eight at the other, the length about fortv four inches. It is prepared exactly the same as the ironing table; that is, with a thick flannel covered with a piece of sheeting securely nailed on the tinder side. To use it place the skirt to be ironed over and lodge each end of the board on two chair backs or something convenient, with an old sheet laid on the floor underneath, in case the skirt should drop. The small end should be to the left, where nat urally the top of skirt should be, and as the ironer goes along she turns the skirt round on the board till she comes to the place from which she started, when the skirt is finished. Should there be any frills or other trimmings they must be ironed first on the table. Linen or cotton skirts are best ironed on the wrong side, white calico or nun's veiling on the right. Of course, skirts require damp ening and folding as well as other things and he thicker they are the damper they should be. The common superstition that 13 at a meal is unlucky, has undoubtedly come from the fact that there were 13 at the Last Supper of our Lord and his disciples. "Bride of the Sea" is " the name often given to Venice, Italy, from the ancient ceremony of its ruler marry ing the .ity to the Adriatic sea, by throwing a ring into it and pronounc ing these words: "We wed thee, O sea, in token of perpetual dominion." 1621 FARNAM p?
