ASS'T ED1TOF5-
I'our Zcrir Means
Much to Your Good
Looks Be Kind to It
If you only realize how much your
lieat means to your good looks you
would be willing to devote a little
more time and attention to its care
and appearance. It frames the face
with softening and pleasing effect,
and the arrangement either brings out
the good points of the features or
makes each defect more apparent. So
Wou should study your face in rela
tion to dressing the hair in order that
you may emphasize your best fea
tures and make the undesirable ones
less prominent.
The hair will not respond to dress
ing nearly so well if it is not kept
clean and full of "life, so give it the
iiundred stroke brushing each night
and morning, if possible, using a stiff,
but not, a wire brush. The brushing
stimulates the oil glands to do better
work and makes the hair glossy.
If your hair is too oily wash it once
a week, using two lathers and two
rinsings, finishing with a little good
hair tonic, rubbed well into the scalp
to make the hair fluffy. A few weeks
of such treatment should show a
great improvement, for the oil glands
will be toned up and do their work
in a normal way.
Maroon Velvet and Gray Wolf
Changing the style of the hair oc
casionally is good for the scalp and
tar the hair, for wearing a coii in a
certain i spot and holding it in place
with pins is a strain that does not
improve your looks. How glad the
hair must be when all those confining
fins are out and it is allowed its .own
natural way for even a little while at
night. Unless the hair is very thick
and long, do not braid it at night, but
allow it .to be loose while you sleep,
for that is the only time it has a
chance to breathe. A sun bath is also
beneficial to the tresses.
It is universally becoming to wear
the hair parted on one sid-e. and that
is a change for you, perhaps. If so,
wave it in loose waves and roll softly
back over the ears, wearing it in a
coil at the neck. Wavy hair is gen
erally more becoming than straight,
hut a few are fortunate enough to
look well with the locks worn
straight, and if you are oni of those
by all means wear it without wav
ing. It requires long, even hair to
do this, and you can well be proud
of the fact that you are blessed in
having it. Usually the very plainest,
simplest way of wearing straight hair
is the most effective.

Dividing the hair into four , parts,
the front, back and sides, waving in
a large loose wave, and bringing the
, front part slightly down over the
forehead, with the ears covered by
the loose waves, is very pretty and
becoming to most women and girls.
The four parts are brought together
at the back to form a loose roll. With
the comb the hair can be brought
down over the face where desired
dips are wanted, and held in place
with mall pins. A little practice en
ables you to obtain quite a few dif
ferent effects, so do not be afraid
to try. In Woman's World for
January.
Use of Olives to Save Eggs
Olives either ripe or green will add
nourishment to omelets when reduc
ing the number of eggs used. Make
the pmelet as usual, using fo r eggs.

A GRAY wolf might
welcome death could
he but see his pelt
on this suit of maroon
velvet which spells per
fection as a winter cos
tume. The coat strongly
suggests a Russian influ
ence. The high collar and
generous cuffs are orna
mented with gray buttons.
The same buttons fasten
the belt, from which flare
the long circular sides
rippling with fur. The
hat of maroon velvet fur
ther suggests Russia. A
fringe of fur and a bead
ornament give a slightly
barbaric touch immensely
pleasing with the "toute
ensemble" of this strik
ing suit.

Remove from the oven and spread
one-half with chopped olives; fold
and serve. The heat from the omelet
is sufficient to heat the. filling. Good

Advice to Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
It Is Yr KIght.
rr Mis Fairfax; I am :'l years of age
and volunteered my servient In the Vntted
States navy at our president's first call. I
desire to settle down when my term Is up
in the navy, as I will then he 5t years of ago.
My largest worry since I have been In the
servlca Is the "girl at home." I happened
to be at home about two months ago and one
wee after my return to the ship 1 re
ceived a letter from her. saying she was
going to the country for nor health. I am
In douM to hoi- sincerity In the matter,
as she looked to be In the best of health
whan I last saw her. Furthermore she said
he would send me her address when she
got settled. That was two montha ago, and
I have not received the neV address yet.
I would like your advice very much- as to
whether I should try and get acquainted
with some nice girls In New York. Although
I still care for the girl at home, T am get
ting rather lonesome, as It has bean over
two months sine 1 have heard from her.
K. P. K.
I do not particularly fancy the way this
girl la treating you. In any event, If you are
not engaged to her, yon have every right to
enjoy the friendship of pleasant girls you
meet.
A Real Duty.
!eir MlfS Fairfax.
I am a young kindness girl of IS yeara
and employed In a brokerage office. My
employer Is. drafted and sails for France
within n week's time, therrf-ire all the husl
noss will rest on my ahouMers, as 1 am
the onlv person In tho office outside of
two men iiceentiy one of my employe.'
relatives came Into the office lo see him
and he has been coming In constantly ever
since. He has askel me out to theater par
lies, luncheons, etc., quite often of late, but
1 have declined the Invitations, spying it
Is not a habit of mine to dine with 'just
ness acquaintances, on account of my
outh.
Now, Miss Fairfax. I love this man
dearly, although 1 try to convince myself
1 Just nilmire him as a pleasing friend,
hut thero Is something which tolls me he Is
more than a friend. My employer told me
he Is going to employ him as an assistant
of mine, as ha thinks the business will he
too much for mo to carry on alone, but
1 told him 1 object, as lie Is five years my
senior, and 1 would not care for an older
person to aRslst me. Ioar Miss Fairfax,
please toll me whether to' leave, although
I dread to. or If I should Just stay on.
! would like to leave, as 1 know I would
be In too close oontact with the person men
tioned. ANXIOUS.
Why should you pefmlt yourself to In
dulge In such a freniy of "looking for
trouble?" I agree with you that It Is not
good policy for a young woman to accept
all sorts of siwlal Invitations from chance
acquaintances In business, but since you
were properly Introduced to this young man
and he ha shown a respectful Interest In
you tho ultuatlnn changes somewhat. I can
understand that you want to look up to the
man you are Interested In not have him,
employed In your office In an Inferior ca
pacity as your assistant; but positions have
to be Awarded according to merit. Since
you are trusted to such an extent that your
employer la ready to sail for f ranco, leaving
his business In your charge, how can you
contemplate refusing to do your bit because
of a lot of sentimental notions about a young
man you hardly know? Stay In your posi
tion. Live up to yonr responsibility. Con
tinue to conduct yourself with real dignity
and common sense.
Me Nenla m Doctor.
Pear Miss Fairfax; 1 have a son 9 yeara
old that has the habit of stealing money
from my house small or big amounts, what
ever h ran get hold of. This lias happened
several times and from a long time ago. I
tried to atop him with all kinds of hard
punishments, but still he never overcame
his habit. Now, Miss Fairfax, I don't know
what to do. Please advise mo the best way
to put him on lhi right road. Is it fair
to put him In a reform school?
MRS. B. B.
In fairness to the boy you ought to see
that he conies under th observation of
those who will understand and bo able to
help him. There are several clinics which,
make a study of children Just like yours.
Have him observed by the doctors of a
clinic for mental defectives.
Roast Beef Hash
Dice a pound of cold roast beef and
three larpc potatoes. Put the meat
and poine?, tcgetlVr with a cupful
of Rravy and a cupful of water, in a
skillet to si rimer. Chop a Bermuda
onion fine and add this, seasoning
with salt and pepper to taste. If the
result is watery, thicken with flour
and water.

TTV EAR Shoppers: Such a wee bit
of time left in which to do our
Christmas Shopping! We must con
serve every moment of it if we wish
to get it done satisfactorily. First
let me urge early morning shopping
for an hour before noon is worth
two after. Instead of waiting until
Sunday as I usually do, to tell you
about the things I've seen in the
shops I'm going to tell you right now
about the gift inspirations which
greeted me everywhere I turned this
week. Here are a few suggestions
planned especially to save you time,
and energy. Now get your pencils
this very minute and check the

particularly interest you.

USEFUL and unusual aptly de
scribes many interesting things
in the little Japanese shop of the Nip

sweet-meat boxes and a host of en
trancing Oriental novelties so very
inexpensive they prove a mighty at
traction to Christmas shoppers.
DIAMONDS in platinum! A com

maginable, tor they are r.lways the

ket filled to the brim with delicious
Omaha made bon-bons. Price $1.35
and $1.50 at Eldridp-'s, 1318 Farnam.
H. My, what bewitching bask-
cts!" and "Did you ever sec
such gorgeous Poinsettias," these
were remarks I heard from passersby
this morning, while I stood fairly
enchanted before the windows of Lee
Larmon's Flower Shop in The Fon
tenelle Hotel. With birch boxes filled
with Cyclamen, baskets of gay posies
and various holiday plants it is truly
a veritable Christmas garden. And
to step inside and see the beautiful,
colorful roses and sniff their fragrance
makes you wish you had a whole
pocketful of money so that every
friend might be remembered with
flowers on Christmas day. You may
be assured that your floral missive
will be "perfect" if it comes from
Larmon's. Phone Doug. 8244.
A miniature La Valliere with a tiny
pink cameo set in filigree green gold
would be a lovely gift for a girl to
wear to her first party. Trice $10,
Q WING a little beaded bag of silk
U or velvet from your arm when
off to the matinee. Thompson, Bel
den's have some bags just arrived
from Fifth avenue shops which are
positively the smartest things I've
seen this season to carry with, street
costumes. Most of them are em
broidered in cut steel beads, though
there are a few in colors. Priced $3
to $13.50. I cannot imagine a nicer
"intimate" gift to a feminine friend
than one of these.
Lace petticoat ruffles with wide
beading, ribbon and rosettes, to at
tach to crepe-de-chine petticoats
make unusually pretty gifts. They
cost $4 to $6.
a
CHRISTMAS Slippers! I cannot
think of a gift that would be
more conductive to happiness than a
pair of those pretty felt comfies I saw
this week in BRANDEIS' SHOE
DEPARTMENT. Ah-h! what com
fort when jumping out of beds o'
cold night, or the leisure luxury to
tired feet that have traveled long and
far. And they're in every lovely
shade imaginable! adorned in the
most fetching manner with ribbons,
or rosebud trimming. A lovely pres
ent for just $2 or $2.25. There are
cretonne slippers with silk pompons
for $1.39, very new and dainty. But
the most sensible slipper I've yet seen
is the Ily-lo which will obligingly
hug the ankle on cold days, or may
be worn low. Priced $2.50.
ry HERE'S no place in all Brandeis'
huge store which holds ( more
fascinating interest to Christmas
Shoppers than the Ribbon Section.
In the showcases are the little ac
cessories made of ribbon which add
so much to the" captivating daintiness
of fair femininity, all made by skillful
fingers who understand the gentle art
of handling ribbon. Vanities, lingerie
clasps, hand-painted sachets, garters,
dainty camisoles, boudoir caps and
exquisite slippers to adorn my lady's
pretty feet. Of course the ubiquitous
Knitting Bag is there in all its glory,
for when .made of ribbon it's a most
charming affair.
.
Start the thrift habit by banking
part of your Christmas money.
SPEAKING of practical gifts for
Christmas, one of the most de
sirable things I could suggest would
be the silk material for a pretty dress,
or blouse done up in an attractive
gift box. I'm not taking credit for
this idea, for it was Mr. Hazen at
Thompson, Belden's who told me
about it when I visited that store the
other day and saw their wonderful
display of silks. Two yards of plaid,
or satin striped taffeta, at $1.75 to $2.50
a yard would make a stunning blouse
giftor if you prefer crepe-de-chine
there are suit blouse colors, or dainty
light shades at $1.75 and $2. For an
invalid friend six or seven yards of
Kimono sjjk at $1.25 a yard would
surely be a most welcome present. A
box containing three and one-fourth
yards of striped tub silk at $1.25 or
$2 a yard for a handsome shirt or
one and one-fourth yards of muffler
silk, would surely please HIM.
.

the other day. A very chic Georgette

admired so much at $10 was tempt
ingly reduced for Christmas to $7.85.
The Georgette suit blouses in lovely,
rich tones of taupe, brown and blue
all handsomely beaded and em

A FAVORITE holiday haunt is
