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."

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." )
