The Humor of Opera.
To show my absolute confidence in
all the readers of my little column I
am going to make a confession. , I
don't know a thing about grand
opera! And when I do go I am afraid
I see the humorous, side instead of
listening to the entrancing music.
As you have probably all noticed,
there are funny things even in grand
opera if you only see them. At last
night s performance of Giocorrda I
was amused to see a table and chair
at one side of the stage, while the
other was set for a street scene. The
two articles of furniture seemed very
convenient! for when any of the
actors became weary they would just
drop into the nearby chair and rest.
That seemed unusual, to say the
least.
Of course, the singers must always
face the audience, no matter what
they are singing. In a scene where
one of the lady performers placed a
rosary around the neck of another
(please don't ask me their names) the
singer had to look at the audience,
sing and hang the rosary at the same
time.
Really, it was a crucial rruomcnt!
I was awfully afraid she would miss
the neck of the one to be adorned,
but she accomplished all three stunts
at one time, much tp my relief.
1 ne boys in khaki lent a war-time
atmosphere to the opening night, and
as they say, open confession is good
lor the soul, I will admit right here
that they interested me far more than
thesong birds o ntKes t age.

WE SAVE YOU MONEYTHERE ARE REASONS
fa-.
Housewives Now More
Than Ever Before Realize
the Importance of Purity v
in Food Products
While on my lecture tours, rrieeting
housewives in all sections of the country I have
observed that women are now wide awake to the vital neces
sity of utmost purity in articles of food. ' '.
ft iised to be that unscrupulous
manufacturers were at liberty to foist rankly
adulterated food stuffs on the unsuspecting housewife. This
production of low grade, frequently worthless and often injuri
ous merchandise gained such strides that the government
stepped in with Pure Food legislation and checked it. This
measure of protection aroused housewives to the situation and
the importance of purity in articles of table use." And as a
result of this awakening wise housewives have set a higher .
standard of purity than the Food Laws demand. The federal
and state authorities have cut off to a great extent the manu
facturer of products of 'an injurious nature. The great
majority of housewives have gone even farther and insist
on absoluti purity. : '
" Take Baking Powder for example. There
are many different brands of baking powders on the market. '
All that art on the market are made within the limits of the lawart
s pure as the law demands. .
, But there are other things to be taken into
consideration will they give the best results are ' they
economical in user
' The housewife now insists that baking
powder be as pure as it can be made. That it possess no
impurities no adulterant--no useless fillers no injurious properties
of any sort They want and are tntitled to a baking powder 80
proportioned and blended it remains pure in the baking. ,
After testing many different brands of
baking powders, . I am thoroughly convinced that Calumet
Baking Powder extendi far beyond the standards of purity demanded
by the food laws. ;
Critical experiments establish the fact that
Calumet leaves no harmful residue, as do many powders
that comply with pure fooS requirements. The bakings it prodocei
are not only light, fluffy and tasty but wholesome and healthful
which really is the final test of a baking powder's purity.
The housewife of today wants something
better than "just as good." She wants the best, and in my
articles on Baking Powder I hare no hesitancy in recommending
Calumet ,: '

When Milady Goes Shopping
Today we learn of "co-operative" furniture
versatile furniture furniture that works
in many different capacities. : : :
By ADELAIDE KENNERLY.
Now that we know all about the
"Library-Dine" with its 101 uses, we
must figure oh chairs to co-operate.
No, that isn't the wrong word. "Co
operate" is. exactly what I mean. In
these small apartments it is impos
sible to have things match. Every
piece of furniture must work. In
fact, it must be versatile and do many
things well and so we select pieces
that will co-operate or work to
gether. There is something lovely about a
certain kind of dining room chair,
upholstered sometimes ioth back and
seat; sometimes only the seat, but
arms always. They are straight, with
high backs. The arms and uphol
stering give them elegance enough
to grace any living room. v '
Strictly Modern.
These chairs have a semi-colonial
appearance which means that they
are strictly modern and are made of
many varieties of wood, so that in
selecting a "Library-Dine" and chairs
the wood should match. The uphol
stering should be of neutral shades
. .
uniess one intends to carry out a
pink or blue or rose or some other
effect.
These co-operative chairs are com
fortable, good looking and serve as
dining chairs, reception chairs, desk-
chairs and general utility seats. Rock
ers are made to match and, since the
small apartment is paramount in our
minds at this particular time, these
chairs "co-operate" better if one buys
enough for both bedroom and living
room. We shall learn more of what
they can do, if put to the test, when
we furnish our next room the bed
room. Someone Thankful.
"Adelaide Kennerly," said a young
business woman whom I chanced to
meet on a windy corner, "I am thank
ful this Thanksgiving day for the ar
ticle you had in this morning's Bee
on furnishing a. small apartment. I
have longed to keep house and en
tertain my little circle of friends in
an informal way, but the thought of
furnishing up a big place and the bur
den of keeping it clean has killed
every new idea I had on the subject.
Now that one may rent, for a reason
able sum, a small apartment, furbish
it for another reasonable sum and
keep it clean with a minimum of ef
fort well, I say why not keep
house?"-
... See for Yourself.
And so that Thanksgiving day I
was thankful that I had written
something to give new hope to one
deserving person, for I am sure
there are hundreds who feel about
housekeeping as this young woman
does. And think of the women who
must move to small apartments in
self-defense because there are no
servants to be had I
If you don't believe everything I
say about furnishing a tiny home is

sure of it.

Vote "Yes" on Both
Amendments is the
Slogan of Suffragists
"Vote 'yes', on both amendments."
This campaign slogan Nebraska
suffragists will put into use to-avoid
confusion incident to the submission
of two suffrage issues in the coming
election if the convention now meet
ing at the Young Women's Christian
association votes not only to protect
the partial suffrage given by the leg
islature last year and now threatened
by the referendum invoked by the
antis, bnt to ask for full suffrage at
the same time.
The straw indicating what the con-
Urs. WE:3arkhy
veritiort's action would be was, gath
ered preliminary to the executive
board meeting held this morning.
Mrs. W. E. Barkley of Lincoln, state
president, and members of the board
refused to be interviewed directly on
the policy they would pursue in the
coming campaign.
"The convention will vote on the
question at Tuesday's session," said
they.
Mrs. Barkley, who leaves Friday
for Washington to attend the national
suffrage convention, is certain that a
federal suffrage bill will be passed
this winter.
"Women's war work will prove a
strong factor in the coming suffrage
campaigns . and in preparing women
for. their duties as voters. War work
has brought suffragists and anti-suffragists
to work side by side as noth
ing else has brought them together
in the past. They are amalgamated
workers now," said Mrs. Barkley.
Melting Pots Are Rapidly Filling.
The melting pots which are in the
window of Brown's jewelry store and
in the war' relief rooms at the' Baird
building are rapidly filling up with'
odd bits of jewelry. Old ring settings,
small silver boxes and broken bits of
silver toilet articles seem to be the
principal contributions so far. Miss
Gertrude Young, who is one of the
committee, expresses herself as being
delighted with the way the women are
responding to the call for their cast
off jewelry.

, The hands really tell more of a
story than most people realize. Long,
slender hands with tapering fingers
indicate ,an artistic temperament, the
; expression ' of which may be along
Literature, art or musical lines, or it
I may find an outlet in architecture, dc
i signing or the pursuit of some one of
j the learned professions.
It is quite possible to give a slightly
tapering; effect to rather blunt fingers
by pressing them gently at the tips
from childhood, but, afterall, the tem
perament or disposition cannot be
changed by sueh means.
A thick, stout, stubby hand is sure
to belong to a thick-set, practical indi
vidual 'who is wrapped up in the ev
eryday, necessary ffairs of life. Blunt
fingers-Usually indicate a disposition
Hot overtactful.
,It is quite possible to keep ons's
hands in attractive condition no mas

carefully manicured, blemishes avoid

As much of the natural oil of the.
jskin is removed by constant washing,
it is necessary to replace this by suit

j time habit of. having a pair of white
i cotton, gloves to draw on at,. night
after the hands have been anointed

; was really very sensible. It protected
the bedding, held the medication just
where it was needed and hurried the
beautifying process as the warmth of
the gloves was in itself an aid.
A great many people neglect their
hands, giving.thcm no attention what

; , Making Your Own Sachets.
- Most of us would use sachet powder
more freely if we were able to riiake '
it ourselves. We can use it to good
purpose also in the preparation ol A
Christmas gifts. to our friends. '. '
( Corsage sachets, perfumed pin cush
ions, lingerie pads, perfume balls and
countless' other things can easily be
made to tarry a fragrant thought with
them during their lifetime.
Of course, after the sachet has been
mixed it should be stored in a glass
stoppered jar' that it lose none of its
delicate fragrance until wanted. Now
that wartime economies are concern
ing us all we can save even the flower
petals in'our garden for our own use
and that of others as well.
By the way, did you ever senxl a
handsome sachet or a perfume ball to
a-'sfck friend or one in the hospital?
If it is delicate it is sure to be appre

than antiseptics.
