ARMOURCOMPAMY By MELLIFICIADec. 7. Exodus to Southland Begins. With the coming of King Winter one's thoughts begin to turn to sunny climes where coal bills and blizzards are unknown. A goodly number of Omahans migrate to the south every year, but it seems as though, this win ter many of them will remain in town during the season, as Red Cross activi ties and war work occupy their at tion. Colonel and Mrs. C. F. Weller, who nearly always go south, have no defi nite plans for this year and think it very likely that they will not make the trip. Mr. and Mrs. Millard Rob ertson and Miss Gladys Robertson, who spent the month of February in San Diego last year, say that the days are too busy for them to take a vaca tion at this time. Whether Mrs. W. A. Redick, who is nearly always a southern traveler, will go this year is not decided. As Mrs. Redick is such a faithful worker for the Red Cross, it is most probable that she will forego her usuah trip to Belleair and Sea breeze, Fla. Some of Omaha's prominent people will spend the winter in warmer climes, however. Colonel Curtis and Miss Lynn Curtis, who are now in New York, expect to spend the greater part of the winter at Palm Beach. Mrs, Edward L. Burke plans to leave in a week or so for Arizona, where she will make an extended stay. Mrs. John Kuhn and Miss Marion Kuhn, who had such an interesting trip, to Honolulu last year, plan a South Amercian trip. If it is possible for them to go, Miss Florence Neville will accompany them, but if not they will join the Omaha colony at Palm Beach. Mr. and Mrs. tJ. W. Megeath expect to escape ,the. biting winds, as they are planning an extensive southern trip after Christmas. Bruhn-Eoukal Wedding.

Stop me before I grow sentimental over this lovely picture I am drawing in 'my own mind. i i '. ' By ADELAIDE KENNERLY. BACK to our apartment I With the kitchen furnished, the "Library-Dine" decided on and our beautiful utility chairs se lected, we must proceed with the pick ing and choosing of other articles of furniture. We must have a fern! But that means a fern basket, you think. No no, it doesn't. It means that we must cast about for another piece of that "co-operative" furniture. , Here it is! That sewing cabinet in the Martha Washington design, or the work table built on the same lines. The sewing table has three drawers and cabinet sides. The work table is almost the same thing with the excep tion of the cabinet sides. The work table has sides that fold down and leave just a good looking small square table, on which may be placed a scarf or doily, and a fern. These tables are inexpensive when one considers the many things they do and their method of conserving space in as mall apartment. They range in price from $10 to $15, according to quality. Another Surprise. Then we have the half tables. Half tables, pushed together, make a whole round or oblong center table, but when one wants to read in an easy chair it is very convenient to use but High School Students Are Asked to Dress Sanely From the circular which has been, placed on each student's desk at Cen tral High school, the fight for sane dress among school boys and girls is gaining ground. The Circular. The committee on clothing conser vation has placed a circular on each student's desk. We are asking that you read it with care and resolve to conserve your clothing. It is not a spasmodic movement for a time of need only. It does not mean denying one's self of necessary clothing. It means standing for a principle, by means of careful plan ning and much thrift. Conservation is educating one's self for efficient service. It is standing for correct clothes which will result in gain to society It demands the education of the young for right standards of liv ing. Hints for Girls. v 1. Conserve by dyeing materials and remodelling them. 2. Clean and mend your own gloves. o. Air clothes before putting them away. 4. Launder hose soon after remov ing them. 5. Wash own ties and jabots. 6. Wear colored middies and save lrfundrv bills. 7. Keep clothes clean and pressed. They will last longer and look nicer. 8. Do your own georgette crepe waists. 9. Wear fewer white waists to school. 10. Wear plain waists and dresses to school. ' Avoid Wearing. 1. Big or conspicuous hats. 2. Fussy neckwear. 3. Extreme fashion. 4. Materials that tear easily. 5. Cheap shoes. , 6. Flowers. 7. Perfume and powder. 8. Cheap ready-made garments. 9. Low shoes and thin hose in win ter. 10. Wearing white petticoats with dark dresses. Remodelling and Mending. 1.

Petticoats can be made from half the table, the straight side, drawn up against the arm of the chair. Used in this manner, two persons'may have the use of a table in opposite corners of the room after u quarrel if de sired. Or these split tables may be taken to separate rooms if circum stances, dispositions or lights make it convenient. ' A boudoir lamp costs less than $5 and is not ourly useful but decidedly ornamental. It is just the right size for our tiny apartment and comes in all shades to harmonize or match other furnishings. Getting Right Along. Those splendid new day beds just force their way into these cozy places and we will utilize and criticise ,them in our next chatty-chat about whats and what-nots. We still have an art square, curtains and a few other things to select before completing our shopping tour. But we must thoroughly digest whal we have consumed in the way of ideas. We must place these things, with their many uses, in our mental picture gal lery before devouring the other neces sary suggestions for a snug and cozy little place of beauty and rest. Stop me before I grow sentimental over this lovely picture I am drawing in my own mind-r-or some reader friend may think it too good to be true. ' gingham and silk dresses. 5.

The leather wears better. Use trees to preserve the shape. 7. Keep your hat well brushed. It wears longer. 8. Avoid cheap jewelry. Pity Unmarried Man When we consider the ordinary lives of unmarried men, we must give them our pity, for they have deprived themselves of anxiety. Nearly all earn as much as they need and nearly all, in their isolation and purposelessness, learn to need all they earn. Their 1- J .1. , . r worK uone, ineir pocKets tun enotign, there is, no mortgage on their time, no compulsion as to theirresidence.no den-rand that they should interest themselves in the occupations or ideas of wife or child, or friend in any thing, indeed, except themselves, a limited field for one's' interest, for soon one can know one's self too .well and intimacy may breed contempt. In the minds of the unmarried is nearly lieads a sort of bazar of rather shop- sonea nopes ana ot anodynes oi doubtful efficacy careers for which they know they are not fit, loves which they dare not adventure, vaguer loves which "somehow" might arise, aspirations to travel, to self-education, to romaTitic prowess,, longings for the country if they live in towns and for the towns if they live in the country. It is all artificial and self-induced; it is nothing like is sound as the preoccu pation of the married with their actual children, the actual yield of their ca reers, their brick houses, turf gardens, and barking dogs. Marriage is the earth; beyond is the land of the will-o'-the-wisps. It sounds .very dull, my version of -marriage, but roast beef and pumpkin pie are dull, and yet yotf ko on eatinsr them until the end of your life, while I would give none of you a fortnight to turn against unvarying dinners of pate de foie gras. Marriage releases you from the unreal by giving you many real things to think about, by satisfying your need for association with the solid earth. That need satis- in-u, jruui oyuii i ncc to wanuer in the unreal, in abstract thought, in ar tistic desire, instead of being bound by the continual aspiration of the unmarried to the real things they do not possess. W. L. George in Har per's Magazine for November. Use of the Walnut Tree Most of the oldest walnut trees in England were originally planted, not for the sake of the fruit, but because the wood makes the best gunstocks, being light, strong, and not easily warped. The largest walnut grove in England is at Kempston, near Bed ford. It contained at first 365 trees, one for each day of the year, which were plan.ed about a century ago by the then owner of the farm, who re marked that wars would never cease and - the timber would ' always b wanted for gunstocks. .
