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. COLE LOST HER VOTE.
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.
When Milady Goes Shopping
When at a loss for "something to do, call up a
friend, have a window shopping orgy and
post yourself on the latest styles : :
The Society of Fine Arts sub
scribed $500 to the Liberty loan fund,
Miss Lida Wilson announces.
The Business Women's club met
Tuesday night for the weekly dinner
and program. Miss Anna Owers, na

this work.
M. O. Cunningham talked on vaca
tions for women and Liberty bonds.
Members will attend a harvest
home party Saturday night in the

The oratory department of the
Omaha Woman's club has changed its
name. It is henceforth to be known as

"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." The daily paper
always tells you on schedule time.

WOMEN DIDNT PAY.
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."
