14 ' , BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, I91T. l I f . . ' ACTIVITY PREVAILS ATHEYHOTIO Fa tnoui Omaha Studio Already Handling Unpre cedented Rush of Christ" v mat Photo Business. Mr. Jerome Heyn Bega Pub lie to Relieve Later Studio Congestion by Arranging for Sittings at Earliest Possible Moment It's all well and good enough to be the best known and most able photographer in one's community, still,, such a fame has its disad vantages as well as advantages. Take, for instance,' Mr. Jerome Heyn, of the Heyn Studio, at 16th and Howard Sts. Just now he is fairly submerged with Christinas work, with fine chances for still further submersion as the gap be fore the holidays narrows. The strain incident to such increased demand is telling and must, of course, be reckoned with.. Therefore, Mr. Heyn asks his legion of friends to make early ap pointments this year.. He does this for several reasons, one being be cause of the scarcity of trained Itelo: the other beine because of I the principle that has made the Heyn Oiuuio uisuncuve, w ue- termination never to slight a piece of work. When one stops to consider that even the increase of sittings caus ed by the Aiaking of "Soldier Pic tures" is gio-antic, one), admits that even an ordinary studio would be unduly rashed this season; With: a studio a prominent as "Heyn'sy" this increase amounts to hundreds of sittings, so the admonition to arrange for "early portraiture" js certainly a timely one. ' Of course, thhr "rush' at the Heyn Studio is the plainest sort of an indication that the work is held at par and above? Jhe very name "Heyn" upon a Cflfistmast photo greatly enhances trie value. So, naturally, you will want IJhat kino: of photograph. Arrartge fior your sitting at once and Mr, Heyn will promise you something out of the ordinary; even in the. face of in creased business; 'Twould be a' very wisa move to phone for an appointmenjt the number is Douglas 481.

Christmas cards intead of useless Christmas, gifts is a movement Prof. Sarka Hrbkova of Lincoln, chairman of the women's committee, State Council of Defense, will further. Miss Hrbkova is sending to county chairmen samples of a Christmas card adopted by the state committee. The purpose of this card, is to do away with, useless Christmas gifts, and to pledge to Red Cross, and other war relief work, all sums of money tat one ordinarily wastes on mean ingless gifts to people who mean lit tle&r nothing to us. If yon find that the cVrd meets with your approval, and tHyt of your precinct chairmen, we shall ask that yon make plans for the sale and" distribution of these," wrote Miss Hrbkova. "They tvljl probably cost 1 or 2 cents apiece. "Wherever the matter of these cards has been presented the women have been eloquent in their support of the movement This year,, more than any other in our history, we must and we will wish to give extensively to the causes which aid in winning the war. We cannot give as gener ously if, as in former yeas, we must pay out many dollars for useless and often insignificant gifts. 'We must give to the' boys defending our coun try and to the causes which will. & rectly or indirectly, be usetui to taose champions of democracy." Omaha women express, themselves heartily in accord with the movement J. F. W. Club The J. F. W. cluo entertained at luncheon at the Green room, followed by a matinee party at the Orpheum today. The centerpiece was of yel low chrysanthemums. At the Charity Bait At the charity ball which is to be given at the Fontenelle Friday, No vember 23, for the benefit of the Child Saving institute, an imitation style show will be .given. About twenty-four of the prominent young society girls will act as mannikins. As these are war times and people are not buying expensive clothes, the girls will not have special gowns made for the occasion, but will wear their own beautiful evening gowns, afternoon dresses and street clothes.

HEN ft ioaar-waisted- gown takes a line so beautiful 'as this, we wonder how we ever wore an "empire." The train, which is with, as sgain for formal wear, is seldom an integral part of the dra pery. Rather is it lined and attached separately; sometimes in Watteau fashion hanging from the shoulders; again, it is fastened at the waist line. Developed in lustrous black . char tneut over a decollete corsage of -flesh colored chiffon cloth, this eve mng gown presents a perfect costume for formal wear. Jet beads by their contrast lend an added whiteness to the, skin and make the ideal shoulder straps. A rose, shading from pale pink to vivid coral, gives a spot of color and suspends the beautiful dra pery of the skirt, which is embroidered in jet and silver. A narrow fold of silver is repeated at the edge of the corsage, and gives a necessary accent to the decolletage. PERSONALS ttnmmmm ) Sa,id-rWt Don't doubt It becausd it' low priced.

The Rival of Lake Superior Fifty-nine years ago the civilized world learned that a great lake had been discovered in East Africa, sec ond in size to Lake Superior. This lake, 200 miles long and 150 wide, lies 450 miles from the 'Indian ocean and is dotted with islands, many of them uninhabited. ' What Khaki Really is Strictly speaking, khaki is the name not of a peculiar kind of cloth, but of a color. It comes from an East Indian word that means dnsty, and was the color of the uniforms worn by British, troops. The United States dis carded it several years ago in favor of olive drab. How Butterflies Sleep The butterfly, like the bat, invari ably goes to sleep head downward, its eyes looking straight down the stem of the grass on which it rests.

Carrying home packages in a carry-all bag is a symbol of patriotism. ADELAIDE KENNERLY. Creatures of fads and fanciest Each with an element of good, bad, and indifferent I There is a desire within us to do the right things, to be popular 1 But there is also a lack of the "executive" in most of us which keeps us from doing that which we desire to do, but which takes a( little effort in a new direction. A year ago milady would not be seen knitting, even in the remotest corner of her own boudoir. It wasn't the fadl It wasn't fashion able! It hadn't been done during the regime of the younger genera tion! Only a few grandmothers, scat tered here and there, clung to their knitting needles. They made stock ingcaps and scarfs, although their activities were subdued. But now! Hurrah! We see the young girl, the middleaged woman and the grandmother all knitting, frantically, furiously, heedless of the jostle and jolt of street cars, au tomobiles and railway trains. They knit in the theater between acts, they knit in church and at club meetings. Regular knitting parties are given nowadays where every member and guest must knit for soldiers. Each is doing her bit. Knitting is a fad, but it is a patriotic fad and the women are doing great good. To be seen knit ting in public is a sign of patriot ism. Beautiful carry-all bags are used by women of every class and clan. These articles are written for the par poae of helping women ahoppera. The author will be glad to have roar nfe ttons and to hear about year trouble with. view to atralghtenlnc them ant. Some of them are decorated elabo rately and some are plain, but they are all flowered end pretty. They contain knitting needles, yarn and a dozen other useful articles. Indeed these carry-all bags are quite the rage. Custom changes everything so it has changed women and styles. . Until recently it was considered plebeian, or countrified, or poor-folk to carry home the small packages from the markets and shops. But nowl Alas! Carrying home pack ages in the carry-all bag is the ' height of fashion and a symbol of patriotism. We cannot send our women the actual and potential mothers of the race to the trenches, but they can do their great, big, wonderful part at home. They really have great responsibility resting upon their shoulders and they are rallying to the cause like heroes. Fill up your carry-alls, women of the United States, and reduce the number of able bodied men and boys on delivery wagons. We need them on farms they should be bringing in the sheaves. A full carry-all bag is a symbol of patriotism and intelligence. Be proud of the one you carry home. Corn Pone's "Innards" Cause for Much Dispute Louisville, Ky., Nov. 16. The "in nards" of corn pone, as understood in the south, differs greatly from the northern conception as voiced by the late Bishop John Williams, who thus broke into rhyme in a Boston news paper: "Take a cup of corn meal, and the meal should be yellow "And a cup of wheat flour to make the meal mellow, "Of sugar a cup, white or brown at your pleasure. "(EFhe color is nothing; the fruit is the measure)." A cup of sour -cream, half a tea spoonful of soda, two eggs, a tea spoon of salt and 30 minutes baking move the writer to exclaim: "Then you will find without any ques tion "That an appetite honest awaits on di gestion." Protest A writer for a Louisville paper, who claims to know how a real corn pone should be made and who would do his "bit" in helping the food administra tor -save wheat flour for America's allies, points out what! he calls the "fallacies that to the housewives above Mason and Dixon line will conceal from them the charm of corn bread so long as they persist in fol lowing them." "There are certain outstanding facts," the writer continues, "regard, ing corn meal and its preparation for the table that must be understood be- Smoke8 for Nurses The army and navy field comforts comrdmee of New York, which is ar ranging the army and navy bazar to be held at the Grand Central palace October 27 to November 3, has a seri ous question before it, that of furnish ing "smokes" to the women at the front This may seem a bit shocking to those who have not accustomed them selves to the idea of women smoking, but it is the contention of many of those who are familiar with the con ditions at the front that the Red Cross workers need cigarets just as much as the soldiers do and would be auite as appreciative. Authorities state that many nurses are driven to smoke, not only to soothe their nerves, but to neutralize the unpleasant hospital smells. The field comfort boxes which this organization has been sending to the men in the trenches contain chocolate, tooth brushes, shoe strings, cigarets and a few other things. The boxes for the girls will contain hairpins, face powder, needles, chocolate and pos sibly those cigarets. To Make a Mint Syrup. Take one-half cupful of mint leaves, a cupful of granulated sugar, a half cup of water. Boil until the mixture gets thick as a syrup; then strain and set aside to cool, and you will have a delicious concoction. Girls have replaced boys as tele graph messengers in Richmond, Va.

Yellow meal, he asserts, is an abomination in any kind of bread, and a southern cook wouldn't use it un der any circumstances. Mixing flour with meal, "to make it mellow," moves the Louisville writer to proper scorn. "No error, pos sible could be more damaging than this," he asserts, and clinches it with the assertion that "there is no proper affinity between corn meal and flour. Mixture of those products results in a sticky mass that has no place upon a proper person's table." ' "Sugar ruins it," declares the Louis ville writer, who maintains that "corn bread is a God-given delicacy to be employed with discrimination" by a people who should "take up the mat ter of true corn bread with intelli gence, adandoning stiff necked notions of what might be for the employment of facts as they are" along these lines: ' , That and Nothing More. That "corn pone is the very simplest of bread mixture there is. It is made from meal and water, with a pinch of salt; and, if the cook wishes, a small quantity of melted lard. That's all there is to the dough or batter part of the affair, and it is to be baked well done with whatever ap pliances are at hand for the baking. ' Some expert cooks scald the meal in ' mixing the dough but this is not essential. All other ingredients are entirely outside the mark when com ' pone is making." . 1 -A Omaha Women Qualify For Ambulance Drivers On Fighting Fields Fifteen Omaha women have quali fied as ambulance drivers for gov ernment service and were presented with certificates this afternoon when a federal officer administered the oath of allegiance in the county court house. These women are members of the class of motor mechanics, or ganized last summer. They expect to be called to serve on the battle field in a short time. The government is now sending a great many women to Europe to help the men fighting under our flag. A call has been received by the Na tional league for Women's Service for I affibulance drivers to serve with the Third French army division. It is the first time in the history of the war that a group of American women have been, called for ambulance serv ice, but it must be distinctly under stood, according to those in authority that these women serve under the French flag. So far as the Omaha branch of the League for Women's Service can learn, women have up to this time preferred to serve under the American flag. Thrifty Servant Uses Paper Balls for Fuel Instead of Coal or Wood The high price of coal is on every ones tongue, and yet every day we throw away possible fuel even while we are lamenting over it. One thrifty servant has devised a clever substitute for coal while the rest were bemoaning its lack. Her mistress used to see her rolling oggy balls in her hands and placing them in the sun. She thought it was dough and that some new type of war bread would be forthcoming. At last, when nothing had been served on the table that resembled these objects, she asked about it. Thereupon the maid proudly show ed her a pUe of these round balls, as hard as briquettes and equally good for fuel. She had saved the waste paper, pouring hot water over it " and when it was soft and soluble rolled it firmly in her hands and dried it. making a good substitute for the much-needed and scarce coal and wood. The ministry of munitions of Great Britain has arranged to give free in struction to women in general ma chine Work, core making, electrical work, aeroplane woodwork, drafts- mansmp ana optical instrument work.
