How many of you have a hidden fondness for some particular movie actor? No, I am sure you wouldn't admit it, but honestly, don't you make it a point to see him when he comes to town and don't you wait and see the film through twice just to see the love scene again? A number of Omaha girls have bad "crushes" and. although many of them would not admit it, it has been whispered to Mellificia that many of them have written for their favorite's picture. Let me tell you the experiences of one pretty little miss, Miss Mareme Burchmore. She wrote to handsome Harold Lockwood and he sent her a life size portrait with a very courteous letter (written by his secretary, no doubt). Elated over this, she wrote to Earle Williams, that heart smasher with the cynical smile. And what do you think came to her in the mail a week latter? A printed letter stating that owing to the great demand for his pictures ie would have to ask 25 cents for one. "The stingy, conceited old thing," fussed this brown-eyed miss to me, "I'll never spend another dime to see him." But, Harold made up for the disap pointment, for at Christmas a lovely engraved Christmas card came to the young lady from the debonair Lock wood. 1$ it any wonder the S. R. O. sign is out when he ft appearing in some gripping drama? Miss Hazel Updike went to New York to visit her school this fall and found, to her dismay, pictures of Douglas Fairbanks and his million dollar smile on every desk and dress ing table in the school. "Disgusting," said Miss Updike, But, just between us, I ha: me doots about these young women who pre tend to be so indignant over other girl's fondnesses for certain screen stare. .

In speak ing of the order Mrs. Daniels said, "A young Quaker officer was court martialed and reduced for intoxica tion.

A Compliment Dear Mlu Fairfax: A man friend Invited me to a theater and en the night appointed when he called for me had another man with him, whom ho had Invited to accom pany u. After the performance my friend explained that the other man (who li older and married and with whom he Is aaeo. elated tn business) had been to hie home to aupper and he didn't know what to do but to invite him. My brother thlnki my friend shouldn't have Invited him and that I have been badly treated. Ai we enjoyed a very pleas ant evening, I could aee no harm, but would appreciate your opinion. H. W. 8. There la no circumstance under which thli would have been In any way Improper, It can be Interpreted ai a compliment rather than an Insult, for, unless your friend had thought you a young woman of whom he could be very proud, ha would not have brought with him a business friend an older man. Tour brother Is quite wrong. Tour friend counted on you to carry off the sit uation well and to help him make the even ing socially pleasant, Tou did, and It was. Think it Over. Dear Miss Fairfax: Do you think it wrong of me to accept the Invitation of a married man from out of town to take dinner with him and then go to a theater? I am SO. I hava known him for a few years and find him to be gentlemanly, and when I Accepted the invitation I saw nothing wrong in it. My father, who Is very strict, rep rimanded me. Will yoq please give me your views on the subject, as I have already accepted an other Invitation from him and want your opinion, as I would abide by It A. H. Unless the man was known to your fam ily I think you were very unwise. Married men with a proper sense of respect for their wives and their own obligations do not asSy young girls to dinner and supper unless tn a party or with the knowledge of the girl's parents. Tou father's reprimand was In spired through his care for your reputation. If you were this man's wife would you Ilk him to aot wtihout your knowledge as he is acting toward youT The Girl Who is Older. Dear Miss Fairfax: I have a friend who dearly loves a certain girl. He Is sure his love is returned. The only trouble Is that sho Is almost three years oldr than my friend. What would you advise T Do you believe in marriages where the girl Is older than the man? AN ANXIOUS FRIBNO. I do not believe and never hava believed that the difference of a few years one way or the other Is a very great factor for or against the happiness of a marriage. Con geniality) of tastes is an Important contri bution to a happy marriage. If a woman of 4V marries man of 5J they are very likely to differ In their desires, ambitions, knowledge of life and emotional capacity.

Ju-t "Tell" Webster 892. gOLILOQIUY OF MODEM EVE Success may not be charged with thrills or sea soned with romance for it is the child of energy born in a manger of courage. : : : : By ADELAIDE KENNERLY. THE world asked the woman whom they regarded as successful: "Is it wonderful to be so great?" "So great?" said the woman. "I do not know how it would feel to be great." "It must be lovely" laughed the world, "to have so many admirers." "I never have thought or myself as being admired," replied the woman. "Ah, but how did you achieve your splendid success?" asked the world. You are mistaken," the woman assured the curious world, "I haven't achieved anything like success." "How lovely it must be to command your subjects," said the world. "It is difficult always to know when and how to direct my co-workers,", corrected the woman. "How did you feel as you climbed the ladder of success?" queried the world. "I did no have time to feel anything but interest in my work and the spirit to go forward." "Ah, yes, you worked hard in the beginning, but now you sit back in a big leather chair and take life easy, do you not?" challenged the world. ."My chair is softer, but my tasks are harder. There is no time for self-glory or self-praise. The higher one goes the steeper the hill. The nearer the top, as viewed by the world, the farther it seems to the climber," sighed the woman. "But listen to us," cried the world, "we beg you to tell how you find life with thousands of patronizing persons to do your bidding!" "That part of life is' empty a mockery, and I find it difficult to distin guish, at times, between true friendship and false flattery. "Success will come softly, silently, unannounced, and bring with it a thousand new burdens to mind, conscience and soul. It may not be charged with thrills or seasoned with romance for it is the child of energy, born in a manger of courage. ' But for a (Irl of 28 to marry a man of 25 oomes out well or lit, according to whethor they really have the "makings" of a henry nartnerahln love, respect, mutual under standing and congenial viewpoint It Is gen erally best that the partners to a happy marriage be of the same generation say not more than eight or ten years apart, no body can make hard and , fast rules. A man of 40 and a girl of 20 may find real hannlnesa with each other, while a young couple with suitable and well-matched ages rosy have nothing else in their nature matched. The Gulf Stream It has been estimated that the total amount of warmth diffused by the Gulf stream would caus-. a river of metal as large as the Mississippi to flow, or would raise from a constant winter to a constant summer tempsra ture the whole of the air that rests upon the British Isles an France.
