Miss Margaret S. Lewis, 4813
Davenport street, is the only woman
in Omaha engaged in the live stock
business. Miss Lewis has an office in
the Exchange building at the Omaha
stock yards. There are fifteen live
stock dealers trading out of Miss
Lewis' office. '
When Miss Lewis' father died last
February his daughter slippe'd out of
the cap and gown which she wore at
the graduation exercises at the state
university, for she completed her
course there the same month that her
father -died, and took up the work
which he had left in his office in the
Exchange building. Close touch with
her father's business" has made it pos
sible for her to carry on his work.
Miss Lewis has specialized in do
mestic science work at the Ames, Ia
Agricultural college and at the state
university. She had not planned to
take up the live stock business, but
she has made a success of her work
at the stock yards. She is progressive
and has many plans for keeping up
with the newest ideas in the live stock
business. Last summer Miss Lewis
visited the stock yards in Toronto,
Canada, and she hopes to attend the
National Live Stock convention in
New York next May.
In addition to doing a man's work
in the business world, Miss Lewis
finds time to teach dietician work in
the Omaha branch of the Red Cross
and in the South Side hospital.
Miss Lewis is a member of the
Acoth sorority.
Advice to Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Go to Night School.
Dear Miss Fairfax; I am 18 years, and
now only I want to seek an education. I
coma to you, of all the writers of the paper.
Can you, Miss Fairfax, advise me where
to go? I do not wish to go to high school
because I did not graduate from public
school. 1 ras stupid and my one great
hope was to be rid of it. Now I work every
day and don't get home until 7 o'clock. I
love to go to night school, but the thought
of facing it Is more than I can bear. I have
no sister, and very few girl friends, because
I never go out.
I think I could go to boarding school,
and perhaps that would be my one delight.
I have spent my long and dreary Sundays In
church and In Sunday school, helping little
children; for many years. Now, dear Mips
Fairfax, you shall solvd my problems. I
am lonely, but learning I truly want.
CONSTANT READER.
My dear child, what you need, above all
other things, Is the . discipline of making
yourself do the . very thing you say you
can't do. The reason ' you left'" school (n
your youth was because had hadn't the grit
to go on in spite of handicaps, and to force
yourself to get an education, even though
that meant a 'little humiliation and trouble.
Now take your own self firmly by the hand,
lead yourself to the ToUng Women's Chris
tian association or the Toung Women's He
brew,, association whichever one. (its In
with your religion and there enroll in some
classes. I have the utmost sympathy with
you dear, 'and I know that you will be
a much happier girl when you have gone
sincerely and honestly about mending the
sad gap In your neglected education.
Two Kinds With But
A Single Heart
All of you have laughed no doubt
about the story of the city girl visit
ing the country for the first time.
Seeing the honey on the table, she ex
claimed, "Oh, I did not know you
kept ja bee. How lovely!"
It is an exaggeration, of course, and
designed to add to the world's visible
supply of fun, but in a way it does
suggest how little we know about
each other. In a number of places
in the wtst and southwest the annual
farmers' picnic brings the country and
town people together. However, that,
Rk.e. the county fair, and the chautau
qqat is but once a year. And you can
not get much acquainted that way.
You are going to have lets of things
to talk about and hear about this win
ter. And the merchants will be glad
to arrange a place of meet
ing if you will come in either to talk
or, listen. They may knOw you keep
a bee, but there are other things you
have they do not know about. Don't
let the community spirit be winter
killed.,, , ...

barbed-wire entanglements safely?
American Private Sir, I've pinned
up my wife's party dress many a time
without getting a scratch. Judge.
"O wad sae power the gtftle gte us,
To tee oursel's as Ithers see us!
Twa frae mony a blunder free us.
And foolish notion."
The woman who knows how to
dress is a clever woman, because
the requirements are many.
It is a terrible shock, after spend
ing one's perfectly good money for
a fall outfit to go home feeling that
one's appearance will be no less
lovely than a bird of Paradise and
discover, while standing before the
cheval glass, that the combination
resembles a Mardi Gras character.
And there isn't one woman in 20,
who commits this crime against
herself, that knows how or whv she
' did it. The clothes are beautiful to
look at and she wonders why she
so detracts from their beauty.
But listen 1 Do you know that:
Either the customer or the sales
woman, or both, must know some
thing about the use of appropriate
and becoming materials?
That either or both must know
how to adapt models, from the sea
son's prevailing sty'cs to individu
als and types.
That without knowing how to
v analyse details, their use and abuse,
one is hopelessly lost?
That to understand the proper
value of accessories, and colors, is
essential?
She is a clever woman who
knows how to choose an intelligent
saleswoman before attempting to
select her clothes. I know two
saleswomen as far apart in efficiency
as the earth and the moon. They
both sell coats. One talks contin
uously about lines, etc., compliment
ing her customers and flattering
them. She tells them how well
they take the lines of every gar
ment she puts on them, not seem
ing to realize that some prospective
purchasers may be intelligent
women with good eyesight. Her
monolog is from the lips not the
brain. A dozen sales have been
ruined by this woman that I
know of.
But there is another perhaps
many of them who gives her cus
tomers a chance to express an opin
ion, a wish or desire. She tries to
fit coats to their figures. She
knows values, furs, markets, etc.,
and is quite frank in advising
against certain models and suggest
ing others. She is tactful, intelli
gent and it would be impossible
for any woman of fair mind to take
exception to, her interest. In fact,
I do not see how one could feel
otherwise than appreciative.
I asked what the result of her
methods was and she replied: "I
have built up a long line of pa
trons who always come to me be
cause I assist them in their selec
tions rather than try to impose
something unbecoming. I want them
to feel satisfied after they leave the
store. A sale isn't merely a ques
tion of getting rid of a garment,
but of having another customer 'for
you strong.' "
That woman Is not only valuable
to her employer, but invaluable to
every one of her customers. Find
her, or one lke her, dear lady of un-,
certain taste, and one of the most
trying battles of life will be partly
won.

Banishing Fresh Paint Spots.
It sounds too good to be true, but
try it: Fresh paint may be removed
from a woolen garment, and some
times from silk and cotton, by rub
bing the spot with a piece of the same
fabric. The paint being sticky "clings
to itself" and rolls off.

Miss Mabel Vernon, secretary of
the Woman's Party, will speak for
federal woman suffrage, together
with Mrs. Lawrence Lewis, at the
Fontenelle ballroom, Thursday at 3:30
o'clock.
A Swarthmore graduate and class
mate of Miss Alice Paul, Miss Vernon
has been actively working in the suf
frage movement since the Delaware
campaign of 1913. She campaigned
with Miss Ann Martin in Nevada the
year that state enfranchised its
women citizens, and established a res
idence in Nevada so she might have
the benefit of the political victory she
helped to win. She is known as one
of the best street speakers in the
United States.
Miss Vernon represented the Na
tional Woman's Party at the confer
ence of the League of Liberals held
in St. Louis last April and was a mem
ber of the committee appointed by
that conference to urge upon the pres
ident the immediate passage of the
suffrage amendment as a war
measure.
Bandeaux Established.
The sale cf bandeau throughout the
country has reached a vcume which
insures this type of brassiere becom
ing a staple garment, says the Dry
Goods Economist. Not only do ban:
deau numbers sell readily, but in
many instances represent a second
sale to the customer who heretofore
had purchased a brassiere only. The
bandeau is now used underneath
many of the lace and filmy brassieres
to confine the bu$t and hold the cor
set top snugly to the figure. v
The retailer who does not take ad
vantage of the opportunity to sell at
least one bandeau to every customer
loses the chance to increase his bras
siere business.
