Miss Mills on Battleship "Salem."
MISS Ruth Mills, formerly of The
Bee staff, now a student at
Columbian university in New
York Gty, writes such "meaty" let
ters to us newspaper folk of all the
famous people she is meeting and
holidays spent on board huge Rattle
ships that we stay-at-homes are quite
dizzy.
Miss Mills spent Thanksgiving with
her cousins, Commander Reed and
Mrs. Reed, who are now in Boston.
Mrs. Reed is a writer of navy articles
on the Pittsburgh Leader, and is an
intimate friend of Mr. and Mrs. Alex
ander P. Moore. "Mrs. Moore" may
not sound familiar,, but "Lillian Rus
sell" does,' and they are one and the
. same person. This famous tady makes
; $3,000 a year when on the stage and
her pin money is $1,500 a week, which
'drops into her purse from her pews-
paper articles. Mr. Moore, who is
the "& company" in the Russell cor
poration, is the owner of the "Pitts
burgh Leader." He has to pay for
his own wife's articles, as he buys
them tiom a syndicate. Mrs. Lil
lian Russell Moore is an active Red
Cross worker and she presented the
sailors on "The Salem," Commander
Reed's ship, with 400 comfort bags.
Each bag contained a knitted garment
made cither by the actress or some
member of her family. Beside the
comfort bags she gave the boys a vic
trola, records and numberless books,
also a pair of $500 binoculars greatly
needed on a scout cruiser.
The men on board "The Salem"
have Biltmore fare, Miss Mills writes,
and they refused invitations to dinner
in Boston homes because of the sump
tuous meal they would have on their
own ship.
The captain lives in regal style.
His cabin consists of three large
ropms, the furniture is mahogany up
holstered in brocaded silk, anvi a
Japanese valet attends to his every
want, to say nothing of a steward and
a secretary. . .
."It is all very grand and lovely
while he is on shore, but when he
goes to sea to hunt the kaiser's U
boats it is another story," writes Miss
Mills.
This fortunate girl was guest at a
formal dinner party given on the ship.
The allied flags were used as a deco
ration for salon and they made a
striking setting for the uniforms of
the officers and lovely evening gowns
of the women.
At a suffrage banquet which Miss
Mills and a number of her college
friends attended, Miss Jeannette Ran
kin was the speaker of the evening.
The Omaha girl commented on the
number of the women who smoked
after the meal. There were only a
few, Miss Rankin among them, who
did not have a cigaret after dinner,
Miss Mills says. "It looked like a
men banquet.
I might tell you that this Omaha
mrl nrt.. in meet the RooseveltS
through her" cousin, , Commander
Reed, who is a friend of the colonels,
but 1 won't, for you will be as jealous
of her as I am! '
Sorority Parties. .
AU the secret societies of the Uni
versity of Omaha gave New Year
parties. On New Year's eve the
Kappa Xi Delta sorority gave a
watch party at the home of Miss
Mildred Street, 3324 Center street.
The other two parties were given
on New Year's day. In the afternoon

at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John
Nicholson. The afternoon was spent

4 the hallway upstairs couples danced
in two bedrooms arranged for the
purpose. " '

By ADELAIDE KENNERLY.
Bits of wisdom, sprinkled here and
there, are seeds for quick growth in
other brains.
Sitting dreamily in one of "Wat
tles' electrics" yesterday I overheard
a conversation. The older of the
two women, and by far the better
groomed, said to the frowzy one:
"I find that shirt waists are too
expensive to wear down-town every
day. They are all right for those
who can afford them, and nothing I
should like better than to be able to
wear a clean one every day, but I
have to wear a dress because, on the
whole, it is much less expensive and
always looks well."
Dust
"A dress is so apt to look dusty,"
complained the frowzy near-blond.
"Yes, if you don't brush it But I
find that it is less trouble to keep my
clothes brushed and pressed than it is
to keep fresh, light waists in good
order."
The seed was planted, and before
I left the "electric" an idea had
sprouted. I resolved to make the
rounds of Omaha shops just to tee
how economical these dresses were in
comparison with light good looking
Behold I To my surprise the dresses
priced at way-up-yonder before
