Up Where the Music is Sweetest.
Omahans, if they want to get away
"rom provincialism, must change
their; mode of doing things a bit, ac
cording to some of the music lov
ers of said city.
"We talked this matter over, sev
eral of us, and decided that now is
the time to start something," said a
menber of the Tuesday Morning
Musical club who visits The Bee of
fice frequently to "talk it over,"
Mrs. R. B. Howell has this to say
f musicians, music lovers and good
:itizens:
; "It seems so strange to me that
our friends' in Omaha think they
must take the parquet seats and the
boxes for a musicale at $2 per each
and up. " Why, in Berlin and Dres
den, before the war, when America
and Germany were on good terms, I
seldom wer occupied a seat any
place but in the fourth and fifth bal-
conie$ -the places called 'English and
American quarters.' In European
countries, where clever musical minds
are in evidence everywhere, one meets
all one s friends in these high spots.
"The parquet and the boxes are
good places for style shows, but the
upper floors are certainly the best
to hear the music. Sit on one side
on the first floor and the drums thun
der over all the other pieces. Sit on
the other side and the violins weep
and wail to the exclusion of the other
instruments.
"But "up in the balconies, where all
is in darkness and one is not dis
turbed by ushers and moving masses,
there is music! music! music! at its
bestl
"The great ensemble floats up,
up, up! '

in tne Daiconies dose the eyes,
open tne ears, mind, 60ul and drink
in the melodies of the marvelous.
New Yorkers who love art for
art's sake sit always in the.balconies.
It is tnere they meet the clever mu
sical minds, not the riff-raff of the
vaudeville balcony."
I acquiesced to all of these simple
truths, but that. did not satisfy her.
She wants many thousands to aeree
and listen to concerts and ooeras
from the high places.

OWthat Christmas is drawing
near we must sandwich in a
wee bit about iewelrv and
other things sandwich it in between
days when we shop for our tiny apart
ments. December came in calm and lovely
but the calendar, reminds us of the
rapidly approaching 25th despite
balmy atmosphere.
A great deal of excitement among
women of good taste and anxious
moments may be relieved by a few
suggestions and tips about the proper
kinds of jewelry for gifts.
A Question of Importance.
Is it proper to buy or wear jewelry
during these war-times? ,
Yes, dear lady, it is! There is even
a slight tendency toward more of it
being in evidence. In the metals,
platinum still holds first place, with
gold following. Sterling silver is fa
vored especially for novelties and for
the larger pieces. Gems of all kinds
are in demand.
The spirit of patriotism, the natural
desire" to present a keepsak to one
serving with the colors and similar
reasons, has brought into vogue a dis
tinctive class of what might be called
"military jewelry" some of which is
eminently practical and the balance
doubly valuable because of its really
sentimental importance.
For "Our Boys."
Gifts for "our boys" serving the
colors, even , in American canton
ments, must be purchased early and
kept in reserve, since there is no as
surance that they will remain with Us
through the holidays. These gifts
may be kept in readiness and mailed
on short notice if orders should be
given tq leave. . '
.Jewelry will probably never go
"out" so long as there are people of
refinement and sentiment to appre
ciate it. Conditions change styles;
periods give us new ideas and artists
furnish us with ' new designs, but,
jewelry? always! ,
It is time this minute to cast about
for the gifts to be Christmas tokens
of love to our dear ones in khaki
uniforms. ,
How to Save Your Soap
Ends of - toilet . soap should be
melted down into pulp with boiling
water. When it is soft, pour into
teacups to harden, and then make
fresh cakes of .what might have been
waste.,; These can be used for wash
ing laces or small dresses.

There Are, Many Forms
Of Patriotism, but One
Lady in Iowa Was Ready
A deliberate propaganda intended
to discourage women from register
ing has been carried on in many sec
tions. In Iowa it did not work that
way with one womatK She had heard
and believed the stpry that if she
registered, the government would
come and take away all her canned
goods and provisions, and she seem
ed to think that was only right. When
the agents came witl the card to
sign, she asked them to let her know
when the government would be likely
to come for her supplies, as she was
busily canning everything she could
lay her hands on, in order to be ready
for them.
From the Oregon division comes
the report that many women we're
actually visited by women before the
registration day, warning wtm not
to register, because their food would
be commandeered it they did. A great
many states hae found this form of
propaganda prevalent, and moderate
ly ertective. Among others, North
Carolina and Arkansas have found
strange and dangerous ideas implant
ed among, the women. Among the
more ignorant classes the notion is
abroad that, once you sign you are
liable to be sent to any state or coun
try that you have signed away your
independence. A steady, concerted
effort is being made by the woman's
committee in all states to meet and
deny these absurd reports.

Omaha Nurses to
Build "Homey" Hut
For Nurses "Overthere
Nurses of Omaha want to raise
$2,000 for the war work fund, specify
ing that it shall be used for the erec
tion of a nurses' hut for the Ameri
can Red Cross nurses in "the war
zone. These huts -are to be erected
by the Young Women's Christian as
sociation near all the base hospitals.
They are to be equipped with com
fortable furniture, books, magazines,
stationery and music. They will of
fer to these nurses, who are doing
terribly taxing work without proper
living conditions and with no oppor
tunity tor recreation whatever, a
place in which to rest and relax and
forget the scenes of the hospital dur
iufe "off hours." Two thousand dol
lars erects a nurses' "hut" and $500
makes it Jook homelike.
Surgical teams are sent out from
the base" hospitals almost up to the
firing lines. In each team there are
usually a nurse, two doctors and an
orderly. For three weeks at aitime
these nurses are on unrelieved tluty
in unseated shacks that are bitterly
cold in winter and always exposed to
enemy shells and explosives." It is
said that 6,000 nurses are constantly
in this zone of fire.
When such demands are made
upon the strength of the women who
are serving without thought of self,
it is most necessary that some place
be provided for them where they can
get away from the horror of war for
a brief rest for mind and body. Only
by getting back some of the vitality
they are hourly giving out to the
wounded and dying in their care, can
they continue to do their great work.

"Him That is Guiltless."
Dear II its Fairfax: Eleven months as "
I met a younir lady. Two years previous
to our acquaintance she lived with her
grandmother and attended school In a
country town where some relations of mine
lived. She left school two weeks before its
close the last year. When my relatives
learned of my attentions to her they ad
vised me that she was much talked of and
told me why. That grieved me, for I had
a great deal of admiration for her. I have
told her of my love for her and she has
accepted it. She knows that I have been
given .the Information spoken of. I have
striven hard to forgot these things, but I
can't. GILBERT C.
Why doa't you talk over the matter with
the girl and give her a chance to tell 6.-
sldo of the story? If you really love hv
you must trust her, too, and you must iad
that no matter what the gossip of a Uttla
town says, she would not do anything very
unworthy. Suppose even she has made a
few little blunders and repents deeply
can you not forget and to try to help her
realize her best Ideals ot herself? Suppose
a little school girl was a bit gay and fool
ish is that enough to condemn her for
ever'.
Don't.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a stenozranher
In a law office where it occasionally
that I am required to work late in the even
ings, making it uecessary for me to have
mx dinner near the office. Will vm li.hiu
advise me whether on such an occasion it
would be Improper for me t6 occept an In
vitation from my employer (a married man)
to dine with him. Such an instance has
arisen; but I refused his offer, feeling that
I would be doing wrong were I to accept. 1
L.NUKRTAIJ.', m
A sensible, practical middle-aged woman
with no romantic notions might safcljr g o
out to dine with her married employer just
on a business basis. But you are, I sup
pose, young and emotional, and I honestly .
believe that tha sensible thing for you to
do Is to dine quietly by yourself when you
work late in tho evening and not to let
yourself drift Into a dangerous situation.
Probably your employer could afford to
take you to expensive restaurants such as -
your own friends, could not patronize. And
even !f It did nothing worse, dining with
hira might get you Into luxurious habits It
would be better for you not to form.
