For Table or Plaeo Reservations Telephont Harney 945. . Br ADELAIDE KEYNERLT. Take heart, women I Cheer up! The monotony is broken. Here is a man who says we are beasts; that we stretch our conscience over the earth and that we make up the undesirable side of life. ' "Pray call us animals, or mild lit tle carter snakes, or buzzards, or any thing but beasts," I pleaded, but the man with an iron masic wrmiciea up his brow, stamped his foot and said: "No I" But I know that he did not mean it, "Taking it for granted, then, that we are all beasts, and that the beast mothers are giving birth to beastie little sons," I argued, "let me ask you as beast to beast, what are you do ing: for these beastly customers of vours?" This man is at the head of a big retail establishment in Omaha, where many women shop every day. There is, perhaps, no better place in the world than this in which to learn the tricks of human nature. It sours some, it narrows a few and broadens the perspective of others. Just to be square and fair with him, let ul place him in the broadened perspective class really that is where he belongs. Because he knows that women do not like to meet their doubles com ing down Farnam street, he never buys two copies of the same model in suits or dresses of which the price is $45 or more. bv thoroughly have the details of his institution been worked out for the comfort of shoppers that "one may eat, nap and shop without leaving the store. There are a few peevish women. They want the unreasonable; they want suits remodeled and they want to use their own discretion about accepting them. They ask that thread be delivered special for the dress maker; they try to return soiled French waists and worn undergar ments. All of this would-mean greatly in creased operating expenses. It would mean that those who were reasonable would have to pay the freight on fool ish persons' whims. "That is why we are making strict rulings in so many departments said he. It is not right that the thou sands of women who do the right and square thing should pay for the few who follow their whims instead of their .reason. And then he told with glowing ad miration how clever, one of the de partment heads (a beast) was; what wonderful foresight she had and what pleasing attitude she assumed toward customers. He told of the psychol ogy another expert saleswoman used on her difficult patrons. And he told of the splendid, talented women who bought their gowns and other wearing apparel in his establish ment. 1 "Are they beasts, too?" I asked. "Well, er yes, they are excep tions." But I found out that he had 1,000 exceptions to every normal beast. He isn't a woman hater at all and is trying his best to bring the New Yorkiest clothes here for Omaha wo men. When the interview was con cluded I decided that "bpast" was a pet name for women, according to his vocabulary. He is sort of a sunrise behind a heavy cloud.

Soldier's Soup Record Wins Southern Bride Robert Fisher ot Company C of Lima, Second Uhio lnlantry, knows the way to a woman a heart, says the Chicago Journal. He met Miss Lillie Belle Sweatt of Greenville, Ala., and won her hand upon proving to her that he was the best soup maker in the Ohio Guard. He proved his worth as a citizen by having the mayor of Lima and the chief of police of that city, a well, wire to the young woman that he was a regular fellow and held down the position of second cook at the Man hattan hotel, Lima. He is at present second cook ot Company C and has promised his bride to save for her each day a por tion of the soup made for the Lima soldiers at the camp. He Beat Me Home When for a little walk he went. On errand or on pleasure bent, As we drew near our vine-clad gate, My always-present walking mate ould slip his chubby hand trom mine And, toddling on past shrub and vine, Would turn and say, with baby wit, "I beat 'oo home, a 'ittle bit!" God was so good to him and me As to permit our lives to be Like those ot two frank, boyhood chums Together solving life's hard sums. I, as the elder, sometimes knew Where in his path lay bog or slough So I might point it out in time To save him from the fall and grime. Today some kind friends came and spoke Gently to me. And then awoke A slumbering memory of Then: I dreamed he was a babe again; That he before my feet had sped To reach our door a step ahead Through trembling lips I. whisper it "He beat me home a little bit."

VICTOR DISTRIBUTORS A. HOSPE CO.. 1513T-15 Douglas Street THE VICTOR STORE Believing She Looked Innocent, Porter Picked Actress as Snake Charmer Florence Roberts, who is appearing in "The Claim" at the Fulton theater, imagines she doesn't look like a "pro fessional." Says a New York change. There are many stage cele brities cherishing this belief Why they should prefer to look like no bodies instead of somebodies, who can tell? But when some manager told Miss Roberts that there were three women on the stage who were entirely unprofessional in appearance Louise Gunning, Maude Adams and herself Miss Roberts believed him; that is, she believed him until a month ago. It happened that she couldn't get a stateroom and had to take a berth for a certain necessary journey. Dressed in a black alpaca dress with no trim ming but with white turn-over collar and cuffs, she thought herself a most inconspicuous person. No one would dream of connecting her with the stage I But she was rudely jolted later in the day when the porter, makiiiK his way slowly through the car, scanning each occupant intently, stopped un hesitatingly at her chair. That basket of snakes in the bag gage coach is yours, isn't it?" "My land, nol""gasped Miss Roberts. "Well, if they is." continued the porter, still unconvinced, "you better come and tend to them; they're run ning all over the car." The rest of the journey Miss Rob erts studied her neighbors, trying to figure out who was the snake charmer who had her beat in the matter of camouflaging her identity. Service League Women Go Two Days Each Week To Mend for Soldiers Colonel Settle, new commanding of ficer at Fort Crook, has heartily en dorsed the work of the National League for Woman's Service among the men at the post. Service league women go out .two days a week to mend clothes for the soldiers. Mrs. T. J. Mackay, Mrs. H. J. Root, Mrs W. B. Woolley and Mrs. H.N. Wood mended a big pile on Wednes day, and other women will go out Monday. "We need vounteers for this work and for the mending at Fort Omaha which we do three days a week," said Mrs. Smith. Two hundred sweaters, too. are wanted by the Service league. The sweaters are sold for the price of the yarn to boys who can afford it and given free to the others. Starched Collars and Cuffs If these are starched in cold water starch, as is best, they need not be left in their rollings for more than two hours and, indeed, less time would answer for women's collars, which are somewhat thinner than men's. Lay them out flat on the iron ing table and iron first with a thin piece "of rag oyer; this prevents the starch from sticking. Then iron un covered on both sides till dry and smooth and, if required very glossy, finish off with a polishing iron. Thomas Kelly, Omaha's own rnusi cal director, will come from Cincin nati to direct the community singing in connection with the Nebraska State Teachers' association meetings here' next Wednesday, Thursday and Fri day. Community singing will be led by Mr. Kelly at each session of the teachers. The pedagogues of the state are practicing patriotic numbers, as well as "Aunt Dinah's Quilting Party, "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean, and words written by Mr. Kelly to the tune of "Marching Through Geor. gia." Superintendent Beveridge and As sistant Superintendent Ryan of the Omaha public schools have been practicing home, and both aver they can sing "Aunt Dinah's Quilting Party" without a miss. Decorate Auditorium. Alice E. Hitte, supervisor of draw ing in the public schools, is glad that the state teachers' association "comes but once a year," because it means much hard work for her. Every year this big gathering of state teachers has been in Omaha Miss Hitte has had charge of the decorations in the Auditorium. She is now at work with a staff of volunteers. Flags have been gathered from all schools and many have been borrowed from business men and private homes. The deco rations this year will be patriotic. Smart School Boy. Unusual activities of a boy at Clif ton Hill school aroused the interest of his teacher, who inquired as to the particular matter in hand which seemed to prompt the youngster's in dustry. The boy brought his geography book to his teacher and showed where he had cut the eyes out of a picture of the kaiser. The teacher referred the matter to Carrie Nash, principal, who did not reprimand the boy. Gum for Soldiers. "School children .brought contribu tions of chewing gum for the soldiers, the collections being made through the Red Cross organization. At Loth rop school the children raised a chew ing gum fund of $100 instead of bring ing the gum.

When is an Egg a Strictly Fresh Egg? A fresh egg becomes a stale egg in four days if kept under improper con ditions even sooner if the conditions are very improper, according to Lucy Oppen in the November Good House keeping. "But," she adds, "a fresh, egg will keep fresh for four months in the right cold-storage conditions. "A fresh egg, laid during the cool months of spring, and kept continu ously cool in cold storage, will re main a fresh egg for four months or so without the slightest deterioration . in taste or duality. It will be su perior to the highest grade of 'fresh laid eggs laid during the hot summer months and brought into the city di rectly from the farm. However, if the egg laid during the cool spring- months and put into storage imme diately is kept longer than four months it will develop a musty or 'storage' taste which interferes seri ously with its palatability, though not with its wholesomeness. On this ac count, eggs are kept in storage on an average of six months. The flush, season for the production of eggs, as every housekeeper knows, is dur ing the months of March, April, May, and June. It is during these months that the supply exceeds the demand, and that the surplus is put into cold storage. By the end of June it hasT" been estimated that there ire perhaps 6,500,000 cases of eggs in cold stor age. During the months of summer fall and winter these reserve supplies are drawn upon and thousands o. cases are taken out of storage every i month until, in December, very few are left. From then on until the new supply begins to come in the spring housewives are buying cold-storage, eggs whether they know it or not." ) it Sunday Dessert We know that like all good patriotic citizens you are watching your table expense, but in all seriousness, where can you find a more wholesome, nourishing, economical and welcome dessert than the Sunday Spe cial we have prepared for this week?
