THE BEE: OMAHA. FRIDAY, JANUAKY 25, 1918. Adelaide Kennerlv &f Ella Fleishmaix as sSOCIErTY fy MELLIFICIAJan. 24 Those Chocolate Complexions. Yesterday was a busy day for Mel lificia. There seemed to be a cessa tion frcm war duties. Mrs. Oh-So-Lofty gave a luncheon and Mrs. So cial Leader planned a theater party or two and there you are! There was no time for a regular "soup-and" at' noon, so to a nearby drug store hied tne weary society editor tor a wa bread sandwich. Working girls to right of her and society matrons to left of her, grouped around small tables in the drug em porium were ordering their truga luncheons. Listening idly to the or ders, it struck Melly that every woman ordered soiffe concoction that con tained chocolate. A girl at the same table with rather a washed-out, pasty skin, ordered only a "double chocolate goups " Double, ! mind you I lhree girls at the next table had glass dishes standing beside their plates of ice cream with a thick looking chocolate mixture poured over it. A thin little girl near by whispered the magic words, "Samn samwich, double chocolate soda," in the slick pompadoured waiter's ear. Chocolate, chocolate, everywhere. Even the men were sucking the sweety, brown fluid through straws, and the health-seeking newspaper scribe finished her Dr. Wiley-ized glass of milk and hurried out. When Johnny brings out a box of candy to his heart's desire, is it pep permints? No, indeed 1 They are always chocolates, made in cunning little shapes and filled with the most delectable syrups. When Friend Husband asks for his favorite dessert, is it oatmeal pudding? Far from it. It's gooey chocolate pie. Oh, Herbert, don't put the ban on chocolate, for the great American public would suffer far more than from seven wheatless days! Parties. Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Westbrook will entertain at a box party Saturday evening at the benefit performance at the Brandeis. A Dutch treat party will include: Messrs and Mesdames -Walter Roberta, Lawrence Brlnker, Ralph Peters, Rose Towlc. Dr. and Mrs. Clyde Boeder Lieutenant and Mrs. George Thumroel. Mr. W.

Melting Pots Yield Sum of $325 in First Melting Check Here The melting pots for the war re lief fund, one at the Baird building and the other at Brown's jewelry store, yielded $325 in the first melt ing. Miss Nannie Richardson an nounces the receipt of a check for that amount from the smelting com pany. The melting pots are nearly filled again for the second time. If they yield as good a return this time the project will, indeed, have been worth while. Mrs. Martin Harris, the versatile young playwright, who is the author of the playlet, "When Jenny Comes Marching Home," which will be pre sented by the Brandeis Players Satur day evening at the benefit perform ance to be given for the war relief fund. The author of this little war play is so deeply touched by the great war that she very naturally wrote a war play as her contribution to the contest given by the Omaha Wom an's Press club. A brother of Mrs. Harris, Mr. Charles Kanka, enlisted in the navy at the outbreak of the war and is now stationed on the tor pedo destroyer Isabel on an eastern coast. Another brother Lieutenant Robert Kanka, is an instructor in the machine gun corps of the aviation section at Cornell university. Mrs. Harris, who was formerly Miss Allena Kanka of New York, is the author of the play, "The Upper Crust," which was presented at the Blackstone last year. Another play written by Mrs. Harris, "Just Boys," had several weeks run in New York and also at the Princess theater in Chicago. Hurrah! White Elephant Dances Reduced in Price To a Mere Jitney Each Women working for the success of the White Elephant sale in the Audi torium January 30-31 are determined to have something for everybody. Mrs. Clement Chase, chairman of the adult clothing booth, already has collected some splendid dress suits. They belonged to Omaha's best, who, along with their prosperity and asso ciation with Father Time, have grown "stout." Mrs. Chase is doing her best to spread the glad news to young, slender men, musicians and others, who appear in evening clothes frequently. A victrola has been presented by Mr. and Mrs. A. B. McConnell to the "White Elephant" workers worth $120. It now stands in the rooms of the Service league. Mrs. John T. Stewart, 2d, in charge of the sports booth, is growing en thusiastic over the hundreds of arti cles being presented, but she is clam oring for more skates, golf sticks, sleds, cameras and tennis racquets. Now comes an appeal for used knit ting bags. Everybody help. But to leave a sweet taste, after the appeals, the committee and manager of the dancing pavilion announce that the price per dance has been re duced from 10 cents to S cents. Question Troubling Red Cross Workers Is Now Settled Red Cross insignia of service just now command as much interest and attention among women as the cor responding service marks do among Uncle Sam's soldiers. To give infor mation on this point, which is troub ling Red Cross workers all over the state, Mrs. J. O. Goodwin of the sur gical dressings department issues the following statement: "The white apron wiu long sleeves and the coif -is the recognized cos tume for Red Cross work rooms. The apron should be worn in all work rooms and in surgical dressings work rooms the head must be covered also, but the use of the red and blue coifs is optional with the committee in charge. They may, however, be worn i any authorized work room where Red Cross supplies are made, whether surgical dressings or gar ments, or comforts for fighting men. Any worker in any of these work rooms may wear the white apron and white coif, which is worn for sanita tion and cleanliness. The blue and red coifs have no significance except to distinguish tho: . in charge of the rooms. The woman in blue is known to be in charge, and those in the red coifs are her assistants for the day. "These blue and red coifs may al ways have the Red Cross emblem on them, as national headquarters ruled thus, but the central division, of which Nebraska is a part, was otherwise given the right to reserve the privilege of wearing the emblem as a reward for services given. The expression "sign up for definite hours" simply means that in order to earn the right, the women must promise definite time, not come when they have noth ing else to do. "Thirty-two hours must be given in the workrcom before the emblem may be worn on the apron; 72 hours be fore it may be worn on the coif (ex cept on red and blue coifs) and 128 hours must be given before the small red ribbon may be placed below the emblem on the apron. This applies to all workers in all workrooms. "There is a distinguishing mark for those who have had the course in sur gical dressings. Those who have had the first course may wear a red band one inch wide around the sleeve of the apron, and those who have had the second course, a four-inch band. Colonel and Mrs. Albert S. Towar of Detroit are the guests of Mrs. Wil liam R. Bowen. SoMoqpay off Modera its manager did not prepare for its coming the manager was thought : : : : : : By ADELAIDE KENNERLY. YOU met a big job, but your thoughts were small and they didn't jibe at all, at all. They never do. For your thoughts make you and mar you; they put a bright smile on your face and turn the lines of life upward, or they pull downward your spirit and the lines together. Thoughts always go ahead of actions. Never was a good deed done that a good thought did not precede it. No great achievement ever was accomplished that it's manager did not prepare for its coming the manager was thought. The Savage. The savage lives by instinct; nis life is a battle for food and existence. He thinks but little and, therefore, leaves nothing worth while as a me morial to his thoughts nothing wonderful ever has been handed down to savage posterity. No child ever reached high school with fourth grade ambition fourth grade thoughts. It is quite impossible to step into a big place in life from the center of small thoughts. No person can handle large affairs until large thoughts have developed a plan. A Chance. If you think big thoughts thoughts way in advance of your present position soon you will be up with the big job. Remember that no one ever reached a mountain top stirring around in the mud at the bottom. Give your thoughts a big chance and you will meet another big job some day. Where is the Fish?

Dear Mtta Fairfax: I am a youn lady. 21, engaged for about a year to a. young man about 2S. while his father never nhowed a paternal affertlon for htm before he met me, two years ago, be has been line I came Into his son's life, feeling, or showing, a strong antipathy for the boy, as well as a repelling antagonism toward me. The reason is primarily that his father wanted him, and Is still Insistent, to marry a certain other girl. Love, however, de. crend that his heart should belong to me. His father once grossly, without provoca tion, Insulted me. and considering the fact that he is Ignorant and self-opinionated, I am not very much surprised at tha condi tions. Neither my friend nor I talk to his father, who hates not only the sight, but the mere mention of my friend, apparently for no other reason but the "disobedience" In question. Miss Fairfax, as I intend short ly to get married, Is there any possibility of our winning, under the circumstances, at least the good grace and respect of my in tended father-in-law? What, if anything, are wa to do how are ws to guide our selves In this matter? J. F. While you continue to take your bitter and critical attitude toward your aweet- heart'a father, there Is practically no chance for either one of you to win his re gard. I.ove begets love. lfou are sincere In your desire for the respect of your In tended father-in-law, why not go to him simply and sincerely ask htm to let by gones be by-gones, and tell him that you long for a happy, united household. While you are thinking In terms of hatred, call ing this man Igorant and opinionated, gloat ing over the fact that you won his son In spite of him, how can you expect to attract his liking? proposition. Of course, now-a-days there are a good many men who long for fem inine friendship and feel they cannot afford properly to keep up their contributions to ward It. If yon have a pleasant home, why not lnvlta tha young man Into dinner oc casionally. If you are boarding you might even ask him to dine at your boarding house. You can take lunches along when you go on little picnics; suggest going to the movies. Instead of to theater, or for walks. Instead of monsy on any sort of a soolal good tlma. I think yon can arranga to bring about a friendship where there Is reciprocity, without descending to a mer cenary discussion of dollar and cents. V - Y. W. C.

Dear Miss Fairfax: I am It years old and to to parties and have a rood time, and the girls are very jealous ot me, and conee quently they go to telling lies to the boys and to each other and tell their mothers, and I am losing friends. I have always tried to do right and there la not a soul that can say I did anything that I should not do, so the question Is, "What shall I do?" My mother left my father when I was but 10 years old and I have been living with my father until Just lately I have been work ing for my board and clothes, and tha peo ple are well off and t have nice clothes and everyone says I am good looking and very little and tiny, making me attractive. Tell me what I shall do. C. W. Keep right on trying to do right and you will win. Little talcs upset one's mental poise sometimes, but If you do the right thing, as you see It, you will come out all right. "A Fifty-Fifty Friendship." Dear Miss Fairfax: I am 23. Would It be Improper for a girl and boy to form a friendship on a 60-50 basts that is, be real chums, take In shows, etc., and afterward spilt the bill? Would it be unwomanly? I am so lonely, I long for the companionship of a real true friend. I know a young man who I'm sure likes me very much as a friend but while I would like to be frank and explain this proposition to him, I'm afraid he might misunderstand and think me unwomanly. OLIVE P. It wouldn't be a bit unwomanly, but there ar very few men who would relish the CreamY.Delicious.Vv ff S3 in. LengthV Macaroni HE 1 fefr-BrjIfe. UHimnMiuasCs I Foolish and Dangerous.. Dear Mlsa Fairfax: limit and have a girl friend whom I lova dearly. She has met a nice man who seems to car a great deal for her. Now, Mlsa Fairfax, I cer tanly am not jealous, yet when I am left alone I cry myaelf stok. She has often told me to stop thinking about her so muua. B. M. A. O. Now, my dear, you want to take yourself right In hand and cure yourself at one of an attitude that Is morbid and quit silly as wall. In tha natural course) of events your girl friend would fall In love and marry and so will you. Now ahe baa been the first to find tha man sha carea for. Don't take an absurd attitude about It. Just recognlie this had to coma, and that thera are other girl friends for whom you may also care, and what Is more, that there are a great manv fine young fellows with one of whom you are probably going to ba really In lova aome day. Tou ara not the first girl who has overldealised a feminine friendship and baeu absurdly sentimental about It But It Is an attitude that does nobody any good and that muat be con quered. Oo put and have a good time and forget your own foolish and high-strung fancies. FRIDAY AND SATURDAY Reverse Economy. "Are you trying to economize?"

I was very irrit able, too, and nervous. I began taking Cardui about 6 months before my baby came. As a result all those bad feelings left me, and I just felt grand, just as if noth ing at all was the matter, and when the end came I was hardly sick at all, Since that I have never taken Car dui at all.... it has done me good, and I know it will help others, if they will only try it."
