Soldiers Enjoy Thanksgiving.
Some amusing stories are told of
incidents that occurred while enter
taining the soldteri in the different
homes yesterday.
One well known family which lives
in the Field club district, has a young
lady daughter at home who is one of
the most charming society girls in
the city. Two soldiers were enter
tained at dinner at this hospitable
home and later, attracted by the
ideal Thanksgiving weather, they
started out for a stroll with the young
girl. After walking for a few mo
ments in silence one of the boys stole
a" glance at his fair companion and
then remarked to the man on her
other side:
"Gee. aren't we the lucky guys?"
Another patriotic family in ' Dun
dee provided a bounteous dinner for
several of the boys in khaki and after
the meal, aa the time seemed to drag,
they proposed ride. They rode
ihrough town and out into the coun
try unii! nearly dark. They turned
back, thinking surely their guests
would ask them to artfp them down
town somewhere. But, no, the guests
stayed on. The host took them back
to his home for supper, and still the
boys lingered until the hour began
to grow late. Finally the hostess
could stand it no longer.
"I'm afraid that you will miss the
last car to Fort Crook," she
gently.
' "Good night," her guests responded
as one man, and made a bolt for the
door. The poor boys were really
anxious to make their departure in
the afternoon, but didn't know just
how to accomplish it hence the long
itay.
Many of the Sammies who received
no Thanksgiving invitations to dinner
were entertained just the same yester
day, for the good-hearted people of
Omaha went reconnoitenng with
their cars and every lonely looking
soldier whom they saw standing on
the street corners they took home
with them. .-. ,'.
One Ford was seen at Sixteenth
and Farnam with four people fh it.
The man at the wheel saw three sol
diers standing on the corner and hail
ing them he invited the three home to
dinner with him. When the Ford
drove off its -load had been increased
from four to seven, A number of
large cars were also seen picking up
dinner guests at various places down
town. The Altheus club entertained IS of
the Fort Crook soldiers at the home
of Miss Marguerite Liljenstolpe
Wednesday evening. The evening
was spent with music and dancing.
South High Alumni.
Merle Curti, an alumnus of South

Be kind to your, shoe j. ;They may
not deserve it, but they are so high
that you , have to give in to ' them.
Nothing appreciates little attentions
like a pair of shoes.- If you are nice
and thoughtful with them, .they will
work for you twice as long. And may
be that's not money in your pocket, in
this year of grace, ,191. . -
First get 'them a pair of trees. It
will set them up immensely. Trees
may sound like an' added expense, but
they earn their cost. Then again,
shoes are as. sensitive about their
complexion as any lady, and if you
will buy them a good tin of polish and
apply it every night, they will keep
their new finish,, indefinitely. For a
sort of an exr present now. and then
buy them a new pair of laces or set
"of buttons, to keep them. in a good
'temper.'" . ......
I And when you are "walking "along
'the street, don't scuffle and rub the
toes of your shoes against the. curb.
Wear rubber heels and change them
when they get run down. 1
Get your shoes some rubbers .to
keep them from getting aoaked

I don't try to dry.your shoes at a stove
or. a radiator, because it is their pet
j abomination. Tey-will get stiff and
huffy and will get back at you by
; hurting you the next time you wear
: them and perhaps ever after. An irrl-
tation like this m-k'es them lose their
shape and shortens their life.
Ruy yourself good shoes to start
with, and then try kindness on them,
and you will cut down your slfoe bill.

Advice to Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

at SO years and ara eolne about lth a.
young man four yeara my senior. As I am
sitre I will .receive a- Christmas gift, could
yoV pleas. -advis me? la U.rop.er fr

not enraged? If proper, what would ba

Longing for Affection.
Dear Misa Fairfax: I have had a hard
time all my life and really was deprived of
going out much in my younger days. Mw
It so happens I met a man to whom f ve
taken a fancy. At first he seemed to like
me, but now he tries to avoid me. I enn
say frankly he Isn't worthy, because he
doesn't hold a good position and Is very
poor in conversing, still t would overlookv
all this. I can't seem to concentrate my
mind on what I'm doing. essie.
There la an ld Hindu proverb which
reads: "This too shall pass." Now, back of
that proverb Is the wisdom of all the age.
The most terrible sufferings are dulled by
time. Tou have Idealised this wan because
you are an emotional creature who it long
ing for love, but don't deoelve you,re!f about
the aituatlon what you feel a great many
other women feel. But If necessary, anjr
strong woman can conquer and live dowji her
emotions, and there Is alwaya the possibility
that aha won't have to that her capability
for feeling will be rewarded by the gift of
love and understanding much more splendid
and worth while than the emotion aha tried
to realise by giving her unasked devotion to
an unworthy man. Now, my dear, atop
thinking about yoursolf. Oa right- straight
down to the Red Cross and enroll for soma
war werk. Never mind about your own
hard )ot--put your mind on the tremendous;
sufferings all over the world and sea what
you can do to help alleviate that' Please,
pleaee, take my advice, and three montba
from now you will look back on today's suf
ferlnga aa morbid and self-eentered. I know
them seem real but you (and you alone)
oan conquer them. ' .
A Hard Position. i
Dear Misa Fairfax: I am iS and for
five yearn have been going with a young
man two years my senior, during which time
ha has had a hard time working his way
through college and supporting his mother.
I know that soma day he will be successful
financially, for ha la clever and a hard
worker, but at present he is barely able to
aupport his mother.
He has told me very often that he loves
me, but has never asked ma to marry him.
I have noticed that you oft advise girla
to go about with other men in instances
of. thla" sort, and, I have tried this, but my
friend appears to be quite sad at my doing
so. yet he says that he cannot blame me.
Shall I give him up? Nearly everyone
thinks 'we are now .engaged, and if! con- ,'
tlnue to go with him I know I shall lost
several other chances of marriage.
E. W.
Toura is a very difficult position. Natur
ally a fine man who le barely able to sup
port hla mother caiW.ot ask a girl to marry
him. He has ro assurance when he wtl) be
able, to support his mother comfortably
and, still less can he know when he will
Lbe- able to take' care of a wife. His position.
you pe. is just as. trying as yours. I am
lntllned to think' that you will hava to
saorifloa some of your pride and reserve Jn
ordar ' to make' him realize that Jou care
enough for him ic wait until he" has proven
hl.-iself. Ilia unselfish remark that you ara
not to be blamed for going about with other
men la a pretty good "lead" for you. Next
time he says it. why not assure, blm (if you
are sure in your ov; heart) that you would
be proud to face an dlffloulty at the side
of the man you love ? , ,
