Would you like a glimpse into the futare? Then come to the White Ele phant sale and let the pretty dark eyed fortune teller disclose-what the years have in store for you. You are skeptical? Then let is tell you -that she even dips into your past and surely if you are of the sterner sex you would not object to her holding your hand for a minute or two, for she is a most attractive person. The soldiers seemed to think so, for last night the khaki-clad men were stand ing in line before her tent , Pretty girls there were in profu sion. ISss Regina Connell looked particularly- attractive . in her tiny white frilled cap trimmed with red, white and blue ribbons. A huae tray of rosy-rfheeked apples was carried by this young girl and they went like hotlxrakes; 'I will assure you, The flower: girls were very popular also. Long-stemmed roses, tiny bunches of violets, carnations and narcissus were arranged attractively in baskets which lnitig .from their shoulders by red, white and blue ribbons. Miss Carol Howard seemed to be a very success ful flower, merchant, for her wares were nearly gone when we spied her and spent some of our. money for a few violets. Mrs. Franklin. Shotwell Was a happy person, for her shoe booth was one of the most popular in the place. A stunning pajr of brocaded shoes was flispJaycd and looked upon with great longing by many of the feminine buy ?rs. A pair of Indian moccasins, in all their beads and glory, were re posing "on a table in Mrs. Shotwell's !ooth. A good-looking man came up, quietly approached the lady in charge and after paying for the Indian slip pers asked her to put them aside for hinv until he had made the rounds of the Auditorium. . "Yes, indeed, be glad to, but what is the name?" inquired milady. "Redsetter,' replied the handsome -iix-footer as he lifted his hat and strolled away. 1 The regimental band from Fort Crook sent the strains of a tanta lizing one-step through the huge building and though the ydung chans and girls looked longingly at the smooth floor none ventured out. Mrs. Charles Kountze started the ball roll ing, however, and she hadn't been on the floor long when Miss Josephine Congdon, Miss Helcne Bixby. Mrs. Dick Stewart, Mr, Harrv Tukey, Miss Helen Clarke and. numberless others were soon dancing and there was no :essation for the rest of the evening It really is the jolliest place you ever were in and whether you want to purchase your new spring ouffit or whether you just have a curiosity o 'see Xall the well-known society A-ornen acting as real merchants; you hart hettpr follow the sign of the White .Elephant before it is too late, r MacDowell Club Reception. , Jht Omaha MacDowell club will give a reception and tea Sunday aft emdon from' 4 -to! 6 m honor $i-Ut Edward MacDowell at-the,; home; erf Mr. and Mrs. August)' M.

L INEN, thick and thin, furnishes a balance of color in this morn ing frock, designed for southern wear now and summer days later on. Heavy linen in that beautiful shade of: pinkish lavender is mounted on white handkerchief linen on both blouse and skirt. Suspender straps hold the band, of lavender, which is buttoned to the white blouse with pearl buttons. A sailor collar reaches only to the shoulder seams, where pearl buttons again appear with bound buttonholes. Slash pockets arc bound with, lavender,, and the dee skirt border buttons to the shirred white yoke. A tiny tie of 'purple ribbon and a suede belt of the same royal hue complete a charming and colorful frock. The wide hat of lavender linen is trimmed around the crown with leaves and flowers of purple suede. Made up in gingham and batiste this frock would make a delightful "all American product." , PERGONALS ' Mr. and Mrs. A. B.

He credits your cheeks with bloom and your mind with sparkle your corresponding debit shows disappointment. Time gives you success on the credit side, but the debit shovys hard work and sacrifice. . Time's big credit is experience and his big debit is mistrust. But the final sheet will balance and there will be a credit for every debit and a debit for every credit. ;. - The profit column will show wisdom, judgment and kindness. .

( Courtesy vs. Rudeness 1 1 " 1 For the past few years the current magazines and papers have deluged their readers with articles of advice on various subjects, some of the most important of which have been health problems and improved methods of education in the rearing of our chil dren, says Nellie Garnet Stegall in the February Mother's "Magazine. The moral aspects of their upbringing has also had its quota of thought.

Mrs. Virgil Lewis Told Press Club Women of War Nurse's Life in France "I want to be in.; Paris the day peace is declared. It will be the most wonderful day the world has ever known"," Mrs. Virgil Lewis, war nurse decorated by the French and Russian governments, exclaimed in the course of her talk to the Omaha Woman's Press club following a luncheon at the Fontcnelle Wednesday. Mrs. Lewis, who is only on leave of absence, granted that she might re turn here in order to marry Mr. Lewis, a student officer at the Fort Omaha balloon school, served contin uously from the outbreak of the war until October, when she returned to this country; She is a Baltimore girl, a niece by marriage of General Joffre. Despite the government ruling that wives of officers may not accompany their husbands to France, Mrs. Lewis expects to return to the war-ridden country on the strength of her leave of absence, issued by the French minister of war.. Mrs. Lewis told of the marked friendship and love for the American soldier demonstrated by the French soldier.

She considers It proper to o out with boy to whom she has been In troduced at a dance, ptorty or a concert, 1 wouldn't' think of Bolntt out with a boy or a mini whom I didn't know personally. This also causes us to drift apart, aa she (era out several times durlntc the week and I perhaps once In a few months for the above mentldned reason. This male me very lonely sometimes and then X beytn to doubt my views. LUCY B. I think you are drifting apart because you have Ideals and visions Vnd ambition for the future while your ilr( friend Is a "grasshopper" living oly for today. 1 nm sure that In your mat little serge dress and slniplo hat you look the refined little Us. nesa woman and wtn far mora respect and admiration, than your friend doca. Senslbl people cannot help criticising the business woman who Indulges In foolish and elaborate costumes all the time and shows plainly that she Is selfishly and Idly spending all her time and thought oji herself and her clothes. I think you are a splendid, sensible girl wha Isn't so foolishly Intent on a good time that aha will go dashing about wlih every man she meets. If more 17-year-olds, had your common anaeand dignity a great many of our city tragedies would be avoided. - . Ton will do your, work, better for not go ing out night after night and spending your youth and health for a moment's excite ment without any real return. Perhaps you can help your little friend a bit Just by example. If you can't, don't let her chain you. Your way of leading your Ufa will bring you to your goal Business success, worth while frlonds, a happy marriage. Don't doubt your views, they are sound, sane and ad mirable. ' The Married Man. Dear Miss Fairfax: I was ery much In love with a young artist, who was also in love with me. He promised me to divorce his wife, whom he married when he was 18 and whom he never cured for.

When a man makoa love, to a girl and explains that he married hla wife when he was so young that he didn't realise what he was doing and promises the girl he will divorce the unloved wife and marry the be loved aweetheart, there are Juat about chances out of 100 that he la not sincere. He may even believe In himself and still he Is hot likely to be sincere. That is what cynics call "old stuff.". It Isn't fair to the unknown wife whose of the story mair be very different from the one the husbands ahows you. The mag probably doesn't mean to divorce his wife.
