Is the St. Mary's Cuiisn-gaiioiial
church hoodooed: The nieyibcra are
beginning to fear that it is. Sunday
evening the women ot the church pre
pared a dainty supper for a hundred
soldier boys who had been invited to
spend the evening at the church. Six
o'clock came, no soldiers. Six-thirty
came and ten had arrived The ta
bles were all set and looked very
inviting with luie plates of dainty
sandwiches, bowls of potato salad,
pickles, jelly and candy, but the
guests, where were they?
A number of young girls looking
their prettiest were on hand, while
the women of the church, some of
whom had worked a good part of
the afternoon to prepare for the
hungry soldiers, stood about and
looked anxious. One of the workers
was prepared tor such an emergency,
for she had brought her knittins and
she worked away unconcernedly while : tne crowd tins week-end.

After some telephoning it was
learned that the soldiers had left the
fort, but that their whereabouts were
unknown. It began to be feared that
the entrancing lights of some movie
palace had proved too big a tempta
tion, or even a pool hall. One never
can tell!
But someone had a bright lova;
They telephoned the Khaki club and
thirty-five stalwart men promised to
be on hand in ten minutes. They
were as good as their word and as
they marched in the gloom lifted, the
girls began to smile and all was well.
But wait!
It was noticed at the table that a
large majority had very poor appe
tites. What was wrong.' The food
was, without a doubt, excellent. The
coffee was piping hot and the frost
1 ing on the cakes was at least a quar
ter of an inch thick. Finally some
of them were questioned and what
do you think? They had all had
supper!
The party was a rousing success,
however, after it got well started and
the soldiers left with three cheers
for the people of St. Mary's.
Several weeks ago a company of sol
diers invited to this church for Sun
day morning services and dinner at
the home of members afterward wan
dered into another church in the
same neighborhood by mistake.

tiett E. A. Moore, Lester Dnshaus,

Red Cross Workers Needed.
Mrs. A. L. Reed sends out an urgent
call for more workers that the Omaha
rhapter of the Red Cross may meet
its quota of the 1,000,000 surgieaf
dressings asked for t be sent to
France by the first: of the year.
Christmas shopping is claiming the
attention of so many Omaha women
that the Red Cross work in this
branch is being neglected in a meas
ure. Surely the able and p.triotic
women who have worked so faithful
ly for the Red Cross in all thes;
months will not desert now when
our soldiers are in such dire need of
thse surgical dressings. All the
women who can are urged to work
mornings and to come to room 209 in
the Baird building. Do not hesitate
because you do not understand the
work, for trained instructors will
teach vou; so please, pack your Red
Cross apron in your knitting bag and
respond to this call.

Silk Vests.
Silk vests, during these days of
high cost of living, are luxuries with
a great many women. They do not
feel that they can afford them and
yet what woman does not "love"
"those nice silken, clinging garments?
These vests can be purchased from a
dollar and something up and will
never find their way to the far cor
ner ot a trunk where useless gifts
make new acquaintances each Christ
mas. Every woman likes toilet articles
Silk hose, too, are rapidly clamor
ing for the forbidden class and yet
every woman just "adores" silk hose.
Therefore anything from ti e boot-top
to the gold stripe makes most accept
able Christmas gifts.
Plain hatpins hold one's hat se
curely to a wisp of hair, but pretty
tint cmld-fillfd or solid gold or
jeweled pins add beauty to any hat.1
whether a dress hat or a plain tailored j

There isn't much time left m which ,
to do Christmas shopping and the wise
person will begin making the rounds
of the shops today.
Oak Street Church to
Hold Bazar This Week
The Ladies' Aid society of the Oak
Street Methodist church, Twentieth
and Oak, will' hold its annual
Christmas bazar Friday and Satur
day, December 21 and 22, in the court
house rotunda.
The ladies have met together on
the average of twice a week during
the month and have made many
pretty and appropriate articles for
Christinas gift giving. There will also
be a display and sale of home made
candy, bread, pie, cake and other
home made delicacies.
is Not the Expense
That Make Girl's Room
Artistic and Pretty
In these days of paint and chintz
when classic or peasant simplicity is
equally to be desired, every girl can,
if she will, make her room a worthy
expression of her own personality, re
gardless of whether her expenditure.
may be large or must be small. Rut
first she must learn to weed out, and
then conscientiously keep out, every
jneiningless superfluous thjiiT which
detracts from the strong, or the
quaint, or the classic simplicity of her
idea.
The field of painted furniture af
fords no end of possibilities for indi
vidual rooms. Here one may range
from ivory enamels, with gay painted
decorations, through odd shades of
rose and blue, lined or banded with
bright yellows or dull golds. Then,
one mav bein acain and run the
gamut down to the black enameled
ground enlivened with stripes or Mow
ers in strong contrasting hues. In
deed, it is not a question of what she
can do, but rather what can a girl not
do, when she turns to painted .furni
ture. And the best part of the painted
furniture is that the girl who is clever
with a paint brush can transform her
URly ducklings into pieces with real
character and beauty, Metal beds
may be painted and enameled to give
an effect of wood. And many a girl
who wishes to be rid of a hated brass
bed mav take this hint. By drawing
inspiration from the various peasant
styles to be seen among the painted
furniture pieces in smart :Jiops she
may really do wonders. It may be
that before the process of remaking,
her old furniture must be first shaven
and shorn of jig-saw ornaments; or
1 mirrors may nave to oe aetacneu
from bureaus and chiffoniers so that
! they may hang separately on the wall,
i a nbovfl rhesls of drawers. But

High on the hill where heather
bloomed.
And wide trees waved their ban

I chose for him to be entombed
Until the final call shall rouse.
And when that trumpet call shall
come.
Then will he iguard me, well I
know,
Aj soldier to the rolling drum
Responding staunch lo face the foe
Those grave, deep eyes that vainly
sought To tell such love as heart enfolds
Will still seek mine, and they have
taught
Their master much of faith he
- holds.
And if the soul of simple worth,
Indifferently of man and beast,
Are destined for the great rebirth,
He will appear then not the least.
