You have heard the old, old song about "the right church but the wrong pew." I have never heard of such a good illustration as that which hap pened Sunday at the Central Congre gational church. The good hearted people had. invited 200 soldiers to attend Sunday morning service and later be entertained in the various homes for Sunday dinner. Church time came, but no soldiers. The service went on, no soldiers. The pastor began to be nervous and the congregation to turn their heads inquiringly toward the doors. Visions of the bounteous dinners under way at home rose to their minds with no Sammies to help eat them. Finally one of the deacons volun- 4teered the information that he had .ISen.a company of soldiers forming in front of St.' Peter's church, which is only a block away. The consterna tion became more acute. After some excited whispering among the men at the back of the church two or three decided to take their cars and hunt the misguided guests. Announcement was made from the pulpit that a searching party had' started out to find the boys lost in this ereat citv. The steady tramp of marching feet was heard on the stairs in a short time: and the flustered soldier boys were.ushered to the pews reserved for them. Thev were discovered at the First' Christian church, where they had unwittingly entered thinking they were in the ' right church at least. The little incident helped to brush away all reserve and, the boys had a: royal time when they were finally started in the right path. Mr. George H. Pavne entertained the largest din- . ner party, having 12 of the Sam ' f Jhies at his home. " Dr.. and Mrs. C. C, Allison and Miss Grace Allison entertained 25 of the men in khaki at dinner at their country home . '.'Kosemere, Sunday After dinner the afternoon was spent with music.

When Miladij Goes Shopping Some statistics, a few facts, a hint or two and my story erideth. :::::: By ADELAIDE KENNERLY. Argentina has more than 100 fe male chauffeurs. The British army camps employ more than 6,000 female cooks. The employment of girls as boot blacks is being vigorously opposed by Mayor Curley of Boston. Women and girls in the British munitions factories are being im mortalized by British artists. But all of this is a small drop in the bucket of events compared to the wonders which would be ac complished if women learned, along with other things, how to shop. One does not necessarily need to have an office down town to be a business woman.- If every woman in Omaha were a good shopper a business-like person thousands of; homes would be in clover and near ly 200,000 people benefited. Let us discuss one feature of shopping which is entirely new with tin season's coat models. Plush is all cut up side down. If you select a coat with the nap run ning up instead of down there is a reason for it. No more of those silk plush materials, such as we were able to purchase up to a year ago, are to be had anywhere. It is a matter of safety first, for, if the hap did not run up, the coat would not wear. If a woman' can learn to be a chauffeur, why can't she learn to be a shopper? If women are competent to cook in camps, why aren't they capable' of being good purchasing agents for their own kitchens? If women can become eiTicient in blacking boots, they should be able to pocket their pride and carry home their bundles. If women are being immortalized by British artists for working in munitions factories, surely they should be immortalized for becom ing business-like home-makers, which means efficient shoppers. A professional buyer, would lose his, or her, position in short order if he, or she, did not know mar kets and wares as well as prices. And yet there are, few women who read the quotations printed daily in newspapers. Good shopping, intelligent shop ping and economical shopping is not a hit-or-miss job, but a regular, recognized, profession. There are still some women boasting about paying exorbitant prices for shoes, when there are several places . in Omaha where good shoes can be purchased . for reasonable sums. We are about to be confronted with more strenuous war conditions than we have ever known and it behooves every Omaha woman to come down to earth, buy what she wants, .when she wants it and elimi nate the terrific waste of time, labor and good cold cash by keep ing what she buys. Co-operation between home and business houses is the only way we can expect to bring down prices and build up efficiency. Itey-at-lfflome Brigade They're recruiting an army all over the land, Age limit from ninety to nine; And sending them out, with instructions to stand Right back of the firing line. They must stay, by the company to which they're assigned, They never must falter or run. ' They're the women and children, whose place is behind The man who will fire the gun. Right about face! ready for the fray, ' . Shoulder arms 1 march 1 work for you today. To keep the soldiers cheerful, and gay, and undismayed Is the mighty task awaiting the- Stay-at-Home Brigade. f There are gardens to till, there are acres to hoe, There are thousands of tasks which await; There are stockings to knit, there are garments to sew; The toil will be early and late. There are letters to write, ah I 'tis there they must shine More brightly than midsummer sun, Though they re freezing and starving, they never must whine When they write to the man with the gun. Right about cel do your little bit, Shoulder arms I march ! and knit, knit, knit, Comforts for the firing line by tireless fingers made, Help to win the battles of the Stay-at-Home Brigade. There is honor and glory for those in the ranks, And rewards if they're living to share; V .But the women must fight, without credit or thanks, Their battles with want and despair; , They must laugh at disaster, forgetting the chance.. That when the grim conflict is done, f The pitiful story, "Dead! Somewhere in France," May be true of their man with the gun, Right about face! they mustn't see your tears, Shoulder arms! march I send 'em off with cheers. . Though your hearts kre breaking, theirs must not be flayed, They're banking on the courage of the Stay-at-Home Brigade. HELEN COMBES.

Dr. Wiley Tells the , Truth to a Woman Would you dare to tell a woman the truth when she asked you if there wasn't a cure for wrinkles? Dr. Har vey W. Wiley d'd. The doctor con ducts a department in Good House keeping in which he gives advice on health and kindred subjects. Follow ing is a letter he recently received from a woman reader and his truth ful reply. The lady wrot : "I am one of your most sincere friends who read Good Ho ;ekeeping, and 1 date back to your troubles un der the Taft regime. Now, doctor, please gives us a prescription for a good massage cream that will help keep off the wrinkles." Dr. "iley replied: "I would gladly help anyone who was my friend in the time of tiial and persecution, but I do not know of any cold cream that will keep off the wrinkles. If any kind of cream does any good it is due to the massage and not to the cream. Proper massage is useful in keeping the skin normal and free of folds. There is no doubt that the women of this com try are payin.i large prices for simple ma terials. The manufacturers have de veloped great skill in mixinp the in gredients in a very perfect and agree able manner which could nt be done if they were made at home. There are many greater problems before our people at the present time than wrinklej and gray hair. One of the best methods of treating th se an noyances is to forget them and turn our attention to things useful to our country, ou.- soldiers and sailors. If we are busy with this work we are not thinking of either gray hair or wrinkles." Housekeeping Suggestion Try a hot solution of chloride of lime to remove the tea stains that sometimes appear in teapot- and cups. Pour it into the article to be cleans ed and allow it to stand for a few minutes. Use carefully, as it burns the finijers if allowed to touch them Diet Is Going Out; Camouflage Canting In, Says Modern System The value of camouflage is spread ing like wildfire in all directions, and there is almost nothing you won't b able to do with it, when it has been thoroughly applied. At the style review in Chicago Mme. Le Mar is instructing women how to disguise themselves so that they may have double chins that won't show. And if you don't look as if you had a double chin, you might as well have as many as are comfortable. A little science in the way you dress and hold your head will give the optical illu sion of a perfect outline at the throat. Diet is going out The really mod-1 ern system is camouflage.
