One on Miss Dinning.
Miss Louise Dinnii.g. former so
ciety girl, now serving is a Red Cros
nurse in France, was always one oi
the most sma-tly dressed girls n
Omaha. She was one of he first to
start the style of th? biack velvet tarn
o' shanter, and Miss Dinning always
looked particularly chic In one of
these dashing little hats.
The good women of large churcti
in town were industrio'tsly packing a
missionary barrel one day (or a strug
gling minister's family out in th
state, warm blankets, coats, dresses,
books, food, shoes, in fact everything
that one could, possibly wish for went
into the spacious barren A luncheon
was being served at the :hurch anr"
Miss Dinning, with some olher young
society girls, had dropped in for the
luncheon. As the roo-n were warm
the girls removed their coats and
hats. Miss Dinning laid her tarr.
down near the barrel which was beim?
packed and then walked ,ff ti chat
with some friend on the other side o
the room.
About an hour later, when she
wanted to leave, her tam was gonei
Everyone began to search, but the
chapeau was nowhere to be found.
Finally, one of the women exclaimed.
"I put.it in the missionaiy barrel!"
The barrel was packed and what
should they do?
With her usual tact and good na
ture, Miss Dinning laugningly said she
was willing to donate the hat to the
cause. Who do you suppose was the
lucky owner of the pretty tam o'l
shanter, and to how many spelling
bees and church socials dc you sup
pose the hat was worn, out in some
little town? It would be interesting
to know now the original owner
is wearing a white cap adorned with
a red cross.

Spring on the Horizon When Milady Goes Shopping
By GERTRUDE BERESFORD.
rnHE thought-of .spring clotheslias already come "over the top" in the
minus oi women, i ami jjcacu ciuiiics uc ucuig uisiaycu cvujniiti.
These early showings are a reliable barometer for spring and summer
fashions. Foulard, combined with gabardine, is a favorite feature of the
smartest street gowns. This frock shows a blouse of foulard, carrying white
dots on a blue ground. A turned up border of blue gabardine splits at the
side to give the buttons a chance not to "loop the loop," and the same thing
happens on the deep revere and belt of gabardine.. The collar, cuffs and
shield are of white pique, and the narrow skirt repeats the blue gabardine
trimming of the smart little blouse.

A Word on Matching,
Bargains, Skirts and
Salespeople
By ADELAIDE KENNERLY.
DAME FASHION decrees that
certain fabrics, styles and colors
shall prevail each season. However,
nothing but the God of Foolishness
has ever suggested that a woman buy
things because they were cheap unless
she had a real need for them.
During the month of January, how
ever, there are many lines of mer
chandise greatly reduced in price and
by watching these sales the economi
cal woman becomes a family purchas
ing agent and not merely a spender of
hard earned money.
Hints.
Dcn't try to match materials,
stockings, gloves, or in fact any ap
parel or fabric with a scrap of a sam
ple that is not large enough to take
on the lights and shading of a com
plete garment. Such economy is mis
directed and often proves
waste.
Silhouette.
foolish
Thr it nn miestion that skirts will
be longer, though not as long as some j through, but turn to another
advanced models snown lasi season, i wnom mere is
Sorry to jay that the width ot skirts
is to be materially decreased, this bt
ing necessary where tunic and reding
ote effects are used, but even straight
skirts with plaits will effect a slim
silhouette. Stout women sigh, and
they cry: "hard luck." We agree
with them, for there is nothing quite
so opposite to slimness as a stout
woman squeezed into a narrow skirt.
But alas, pride must suffer. We are
now looking for a remedy and we wiil
tell you when we find it.
A Fact.
The modern idea of the business of
selling is service to customer the
service of safe, sanitary, comfortable,
attractive store, efficient sales force,
courtesy, interest, co-operation. There
is a service responsibility for the cus
tomer, too. Have you ver thought
about this? Your co-operation is
really essential if the store service is .
to be truly profitable to you.
Meet the salespeople with a human
sort of manner. If they absolutely
refuse to be human in return, then
have no qualms about turning from
them to seek a more "decent" person
to serve you. There are certain sales
people who carry, more or less, a
grouch at the world. They argue,
sneer and seem determined to sell you
exactly what you do not want.
Don't Battle it Through.
Some personalities mix exactly like
oil and water, or, to use the very lat
est expression, "like cats and dogs."
It is not necessary to battle it
with
a possiDinty ot some
mutual understanding.
There is always a way. out of every
difficulty, if we look for it, instead of
blinding ourselves with anger. And
the right way makes shopping a pleas
ure instead of a burden.

Advice to Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
The Benefit of the Doubt
Dear Miss : alrfax: I am It and have been
going about with a man 2, whom I dearly
love, and I know my love Is reciprocated.
I have Just learned through a friend that
ha la married, although he denies It. He
Is going on a business trip and wants me
to marry him and go with him. Will you
kindly advise ms what I am to do.
M. B. 8. xl.
For purpose of friendship you must
give this man the benefit of the doubt, and
not believe this atory of him until It Is
proven true. But In order to protect your
self, your good name, your whole future,
you must glv. yourself the benefit of the
doubt, and must not marry this man until
It Is proven conclusively that he has no!
a wife already. He never urged a b,aly
marriage before, did hsl His sudden haste,
now that he knows you have been told he
la married, makes me a little suspicious. Do
not marry him until you have thoroughly
Investigated the rumor. A blunder now may
wreck your whole Ufa.
Dear Hiss Fairfax: I am 1 years old and
had been keeDlnc company with a young
man 30. W. have known each rther for
several years and went together two years.
We broke up some time ago about a dance.
He Is now keeping company with a young
ladv whom aooearlngly he thinks much
of. He had told me several times of his
love for me and always wanted to kiss me
a-ood night. He kissed m. on the lips,
always. I would never allow myself to
care for him. Although I have learned alnce
I really cared. Do you think he truly cared
for met I would Ilka very much to regain
his friendship. Fleas answer in Omaha
Dally Bee. ' K. K.
The young man does not car for you.
Do not believe all a man tells you about
his great, burning love. The chance are
he like to hear hla own voice In a Romto
act His goodnight kisses meant nothing
a ho would probably bestow them gen
erously upon the Hps of any girl with whom
he happened to find hlmsalf In a secluded
spot Transfer your affections to a man
whom you have not known so long.
Dear Miss Fairfax: Being two young girls,
we wish to ask your advice on a few sub
jects. Is it proper for us to both go with
ona young man to the theater, as we are
both In love with the same fellow, and
are In doubt as to which one of us he really
loves the most? How should we wear our
hair when w. go out to dinner? Ws are
girl between the age of 14 and 18.
TWO ANXIOUS OIRL8.
Certainly It I all right for two girls to
be accompanied by one man. f can make
no suggestion which will help you decide
where to place the real affection of this
young man, but prehaps he doesn't love
either of you. If he loved you o would pot
ask the other girl to dinner and theater.
Wear your hair In the most becoming man-
