Knitting Bracelet Newest Fad.
"Knitting acquaintances" are the
latest social designation. They are
the friends women pick up at club
meetings, lectures, musicales and on
street cars when one woman stops her
busy needles long enough to watch
the needles some other woman is
plying. ,
"How are you going to finish that
sweater around the neck?" or "How
many stitches do you take to over
cast?" is what the question which
strikes up the acquaintance is likely
to be.
Miss Myrtle May has introduced
the latest wrinkle in knitting. It is
the "knitting bracelet." This is a sil
ver bracelet worn on the' left arm
from which is suspended two pins
which hold the ball of yarn in place
while the knitter knits.
No danger of the ball of yarn slip
ping out of the knitting bag and
rolling on the floor the bugbear of ,
(carrying knitting to public places,
p Miss May attracted much attention
at the Woman's club meeting Mon
day at Metropolitan clubhouse with j
her new-fangled bracelet.
2,0 woman is so stupid she can
not learn to knit," is the hope held
out by Mrs. William Archibald Smith,
president of the National Service
league. "One woman had to unravel
her work three times but she finally
mastered it."
"Any woman who punches holes in
a square of linen and then takes thou
sands of silk threads to painstakingly
repair the damage, is a slacker. Every
woman should be knitting for the
soldiers," said Mrs. Smith.
Miss Elizabeth Muir, Omaha school
teacher, has finished fifteen sweaters
outside of school hours.

Composers Worked in
Peculiar Ways Their
Wonders to Perform
Just how do composers go about
putting their musical thoughts on pa
per? Haydn, it is said, never worked
except in full dress. He Vjould shave
and powder himself, put a certain val
uable ring on his finger, ihen shut
himself in a quiet room for a few
hours where he could work in peace.
Wagner was also a dandy, and robed
himself in gorgeous dressing gowns,
but he did his composition standing at
a desk. Victor Herbert has a top
room in a high New York buildirg;
he plays himself into a composing
mood, and then stands at a desk like
Wagner. Rossini composed while
traveling in a carriage, but also wrote
some of his music while lying in bed.
Mendelssohn planned his words clear
ly in mind before beginning to write,
and then wrote a remarkably clean
manuscript. Beethoven was very un
tidy, and worked slowly; a, notebook
left by him shows that he worked
often f r years over a single melody
before it took the shape he wanted.
Chopin also wrote with extreme
care, but he produced only a very
small quantity as compared with
Mendelssohn, Mozart, Bellini and
Weber, all of whom died, as did
Chopin, before they were 40. Never
theless, almost every note Chopin
wrote Is still in active use, though
it is nearly a century old.

By ADELAIDE KENNERLY.
(In sympathy and encouragement to all young writers
who are ever seeking to retain those vagrant thoughts.) i
All my good intentions are for naught.
To concentrate is but a phantom dream. !
At night I settle down to figure out
A course of action or a theme 1
My brain becomes a rendezvous for vagrant thoughts. j
Sequential thinking now is quite the thing. I
Resolve upon resolve bursts forth anew. !
But each new thought, alas! takes up the wings
On which all others vanished, as they flew.
By brain's a rendezvous for vagrant thoughts. j
Such thoughts! The little vagabonds fly 'round. i
In and out, quite uninvited. With tears i
I try to hold, corral or pin one down j
It laughs, and winks, and shrugs and disappears. I
Poor brain! A rendezvous for vagrant thoughts. j
They ccme from every corner of the earth
From every clime, from every class and creed. j
But when I try to sift one thought that's worth i
A cent, I have a sorry time indeed. i
Bah! Brain that's but a rendezvous for vagrant thoughts! i
Wild as they are, these wayward things, j
Each leaves an impress each of little worth. !
Yet, in the whole the meeting always brings
Some unsought, golden glimpses of the earth
Unto my brain the rendezvous for vagrant thoughts.
But when the rendezvous breaks up at dawn.
Minus any aid or effort of my own
One worth-while thought remains with me alone
To pay the rent for others that have flown,
So I dedicate my brain to vagrant thoughts.

Business of Being a Woman Plus
Is One American Mother's Job
A husband, a son, a home, five
novels, six novelettes, and 30 short
stories in the last six years that's a
pretty good record for a woman, isn't
it? The name of the woman who has
accomplished all this is Kathleen
Norris whose new serial "Birthright"
is scheduled to open in the December
issue of Good Housekeeping.
"I wrote my first story," says this
well known woman writer, in telling
! of her life, ''on a kitchen table placed
just back of an upright piano. And
while I wrote it, I had to take care
of a small boy and run my own
kitchen. In those days every story
was the cause of a great celebration.
"The lean years began when my
father and mother both died, and
lasted till J sold my firt story. They
carried us through every humiliting
and trying form of poverty 1 haven't
had much time to form any very ex
pensive tastes or habits."
Fannie Hurst, writing of Mrs. Nor
ris in the November Good Housekeep
ing, says:
"I can think of no more striking
composite of the modern American
woman than Mrs. Norris. A wife, a
mother, a novelist, a truck-gardener,
a Ford owner (and proud of it), she is
a panegyric for woman suffrane that
should accomplish quicker than fed
eral amendments, bickerings, or
picketings.
"If Mrs. Norris has a hobby outside
of her almost abnormal love of work
and an instinct to mother the children
of the world and run away with a
Fordful of them every now and then
on no-grown-ups-allowed, all-day
picnics, it is her keen belief in and
enthusiasm for the economic inde
pendence of woman. 'A job and an
incOme for every woman in the World
is the first step toward better days!'
she says. She declares that this is
the great underlying principle upon
which rests the modern-woman ques
tion." 1

Whole Wheat Bread.
J c. ecaMcd milk in M c. lukewarm
1-3 c. molasses btled water
1 t. salt 4 2-3 c. whole wheat
X cake yeast, softened - (lour.
Pour scalded milk over salt and
molasses and cool to lukewarm. Add
softened yeast and beat in flour. The
dough should not be stifT enough to
knead. Beat thoroughly, let rise till
it doubles its bulk; then beat again
and turn into greased bread pans,
filling half full. Let rise till bulk is
nearly doubled, and bake as white
bread. Bread may be baked in gem
pans.
Food Conservation
Save the Wheat.
So many picas have been made ior
a saving of wheat and so many figures
have been quoted at us that we are
quite ready to accept the slogan.
"Save the wheat." That staple cereal
must so he handled that it will "go
around" among the allied countries.
The question that arises now is how
best to effect this saving. There are
the three solutions: More production
of wheat, substitution for wheat and
more economical use of the wheat we
have.
You illicit think that you and 1
city dwellers have no effect on the
production end, but we have if you
think of flour production. By our de
nial' we can influence the kind ot
flour milled and the kind of Hour
milled determines the amount of flour
obtainable from a given amount of
wheat. For white flour utilizes only
72' per cent of the wheat grain for hu
man food that is, 100 pounds of
wheat produce 72 pounds of white
flour, while graham flour utilizes the
whole grain and the flours in between
utilize considerably more than the 72
per cent. The argument offered by
the white flour advocates is that the
18 per cent left from white flour is
better used by animals and that white
flour is more completely digested by
human beings. The first argument is
refuted by the fact that man needs
cereal foods greatly at the present
time and that animal feed is not lim-
ited to wheat nran.
We can say to the
possible only through the co-operation
of each individual around the
table.
War Breads.
Tf any of my readers have not ex
perimented with war breads, you may
be interested to know what the prod
ucts are like. Jt is the general opinion
of those who have tried them that
they are good. Some of the bakeries
are putting out a 10-cent loaf (one
second argument that the coarseness ; pound) of war bread which is really
Sprinkled on breakfast foods,
ice cream or any
other viand, in
stead of 6ugar,
gives a more
piquant flavor to
the dish and aids
greatly in diges
tion. Try it and
see for yourself.

A Much Reduced Force Mutt
Cope With the Entire P re
Christmas Rush of
Portrait Work.
Artists, really expert operatives,
highly skilled finishers and tho
like, are scarcer now than ever
before in the history of photo
making. War and draft demands
made no exceptions among those
schooled to produce the portraits
you admire so much.
Materials are undeniably scarce,
shipments are delayed, and, in
every way the "production end"
of any art, or business, puts one to
a test in these days of conservation.
And still folk want photographs
good photographs protraiture
that entails effort in conception
and time in praduction.
Not only do folk want excellent
portraiture, but they will want
more pictures than ever because
of the thousands of pictures they
will want to send to beloved sons,
husbands, brothers and sweet
hearts in camps, cantonments, and,
in even the trenches of France,
In this connection The Heyn
Studio at 16th and Howard Sts.,
Omaha, wishes to remind you that
Christmas is only seven weeks
away. Even in normal years the
pre-Christmas rush begins to show
itself a full two months ahead, so
what is the state of affairs this
year when "production" in any
line is so badly hampered?
The Heyn Studio is endeavoring
manfully with a much reduced
force of eleven operatives, but the
Heyn standard of work has been
religiously kept up. War condi
tions or no war conditions, a Heyn
portrait of this year must possess
all of the high art characteristics
of former seasons. Still, it is an
admittedly hard task to keep up
such a standard if advance time
is not taken advantage of. Patrons
will help matters so much if they
will but arrange to Bit for Christ
mas pictures at once.
Newer ideas are in evidence at
the Heyn studio. A finer art theme
than ever may be expected here;
poses that are in unison with the
style demands of now; finished
work that is positively refreshing
if you will only take time by
the forelock and arrange for sit
tings at once. The throngs, the
crowds, that frequent first class
studios just before Christmas, will
be more than ever in evidence this
year. ,
If it makes matters any more
convenient why not phone for an
appointment Phone Douglas 481.
Please help by arranging for
earlier Christmas work.

of whole wheat flour is a great aid in
keeping us well, even though we do
not digest the bran and receive heat
value from it.
The substitution idea is gradually
gaining headway. The corn, the oats,
the barley, the ryeall make palatable
breads when once we cultivate a lik
ing for them. If we were traveling
in foreign lands we would pride our
selves on learning to eat new breads.
We can do the same here when we
think of all that new breads signify.
I have heard the criticism that the
war breads call for white flour yet
dare to consider themselves conserva
tion devices. The experienced house
wife knows that only wheat and rye
Hour contain gluten, a substance
which gives elasticity to bread. The
good housewife knows also that when
she saves 50 per cent or only 25 per
centof wheat flour she is really sav
ing. Vicr use of wheat means the con
suming of every crumb of bread or
cake or pastry. At this point the in
dividual saving looms large and the
housewife is powerless unless backed
by her familv. A "wasteless" meal is
iilirimi! anH the various war breads
discussed below are all very palatable.
Some of the recipes have been tried
out in my high school classes, and
the girls without exception pro
nounced them good.
