Biennial Convention Strictly
A War Service Conference
The biennial convention of the
General Federation of Women's
Clubs, to be held in Hot Springs, Ark.,
April 28 to May 8, will be distinctly
a war service conference. Speakers
are being listed and already include
such names as Miss Julia Lathrop,
Hon. Jeanettc Rankin and Richard
Dana.
The food administration and the
general federation service office are
preparing a series of menus conform
ing to war requirements for various
lays of the week during the conven
tion. They are to be inexpensive and
are to be concrete presentation of a
balanced menu in aesthetic value and
food value. The menus will be printed
,ogether in a separate page of the
program for the future use of dele
gates desiring maximum food value at
minimum cost.
The convention will be opened by

John Masefield, the poet of the
hour, will lecture on "Gallipoli" Mon
day at 3 o'clock in the Fontenelle.
The celebrated literary man arrives in
Omaha Sunday evening and will be
entertained at luncheon by the Fine
Arts society preceding the lecture.
The author of "The Battle of the
Somne," "Salt Water Ballads." "The
Story of a Round House" and other
works sold his manuscripts and orig
inals to raise money for a Red Cross
unit, then went into the field to ren
der first hand assistance. He estab
lished his own field hospital in France
and later went to the Dardanelles. He
has been constantly at the front since
his last visit to America.
Masefield interprets the war ideals
of the allies as perhaps only such an
outstanding figure in English poetry
could do. Just as his books are
"splendid stories of bravery splendid
ly done," so are his talks vivid word
pictures of the dreams of a poetic
realist.
School children between the ages
of 15 and 18 will be admitted for SO

Prairie Campfire
Girls Remember Our
Boys at Camp
Prairie Campfire Girls at Gothen
burg, Neb., prepared a unique com
munity message book, "Lines From
Home," which they sent last week to
soldier boys of the community now
in Company L, 134th infantry, sta
tioned at Camp Cody. The booklet is
made up of 42 pages of Chinese water
proof bond paper, each bound sep
arately with fish glued tape, and con
tains 125 pictures, art copies of his
toric or local interest, catchy war car
toons, political articles, and the big
feature was 100 messages from rela
tives or close personal friends of
members of Company L. On the
cover was a spray of goldenrod and
a eepia print of the city park, where
Company L spent eight weeks last
summer.
Each one writing a message con
tributed 10 cents, thus netting the
girls $10. This goes to the purchase
of 40 khaki-covered testaments, to be
sent for our army in France, The
book was censored by Mrs. Anna P.
Boisot of Three Trails chapter,
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion, and was pronounced by her "a
work of splendid achievement, not
only indexing the high character of
the girls who had put into it so many
hours of prayerful study and labor,
but also the high moral and patriotic
pulse of our community, as was shown
in the tender personal messages that
rang with pride in and loyalty to our
boys."
Here are two greetings, character
istic of the whole 100:
"Dear Boys of the Colors Believ
ing as we do that God has chosen
Old Glory for. the furtherance of His
kingdom we know He will hold you
in the hollow of His hand. Yours,
"THE -, FAMILY."
A little girl 8 years old whose
friends were all in Company L, wrote.
My Dear Soldier Fa!s.
We are learning to cook
We are learning to knit.
While you do the big job

The Mean Son-ln-Law
John D. Rockefeller. Jr., at the Toung

"It's a very generous thing. If so. I added.

"That is. It ain't exactly so. He offered me
the house, but I wouldn't accept it."
"Why not?" said I.
"He winked solemnly.

Nature changes, seemingly, from a
somber mood to happy thoughts, let
us change our outlook on life. Stop

AS DELICATELY beautiful as the
petals of a lily and as daintily
colored as a rose, are the wonderful
? earls exhibited by Albert Edholm,
eweler, in his shop at the corner of
Sixteenth and Harney streets. These
pearls have been used in original
conceptions of jewelry inspired by
the fact that good taste decrees
?uiet, distinctively artistic jewelry
or the woman of refinement. One of
these jewels of rare beauty, a pink
pearl, nestles in a ring of platinum,
showing exquisite workmanship in
the frosted pierced lace work and
tiny diamonds surrounding its rosy
beauty. Surely none but fairy
fingers had to do with the creation of
the setting for this lustrous jewel.
CONFORMING to the present
vogue of practical patriotism
(the conservation of wool) is a soft
taffeta dress in navy blue at the F.
W. Thome Shop on Upper Farnam.
The panels, front and back, end in
soft folds of subdued plaid, which
also finishes dainty collar and cuffs
of georgette. This little dress, in
sire 16, is a model suited to juniors
or small women. The price $24.50.
WE WONDER how many admir
ers there are of fascinating Mar
garita Fischer. You remember her,
of course, and how you never felt
that your week's pleasure was com
plete unless you went to the old Bur
wood theater, where she was the lead
ing actress. Remember how she and
her leading man, Harry Pollard, ran
away and were married? Myl Wasn't
that just like the tomboyish, romantic
Margarita? We look forward to her
pictures at the Sun with just as much
interest as we' did when she was in
Omaha. This week she is in another
of her joyful moods in "Jilted Janet,"
and we will all be at the Sun theater
to laugh with and at her Sunday and
Monday, February 18 and 19.
Women who love distinction and
original discrimination would love
this little dress to wear with the
new white patent leather oxford ties
of Dame Fashion's decree. It's
made of soft navy foulard of a rich
heavy quality in all-over graceful de
sign in white. The coat effect, with
double edge of georgette, ends in two
pretty points. The fullness of the
coat is held by heavy silk corded gir
dle. Distinction and Difference. Two
magic words!
Dainty Cousin Dolly most demure,
Wears polka dots in dresses, ties

WOMEN of fashion who once de
spaired of having or preserving
a beautiful form have solved this im
portant problem through the expert
services of Mrs. D. A. Hill, a cois.ct
specialist who for the past seven
years has given her entire time, con
centrated thought and atudy to the
selecting and fitting of corsets to each
individual type of figure for whom
each model is designed. The many
variations in the forms of women ren
der impossible the application of the
same type of corset to all a basic
error frequently made by corsetieres.
You are cordially invited to call at
this exclusive corset shop and be
fitted in these corsets, whether you
purchase or not, as you cannot appre
ciate their beauty and comfort by
merely looking at them. You'll find
that all fittings and mail orders will
be given careful and prompt personal
attention by Mrs. D. A. Hill, 205 Ne

FEW things to a woman afford
greater satisfaction than the
consciousness of irreproachable attire.
The Pantorium, 1515 Jones street, is
equipped to help you to be "sensibly
smart." Rip up your old garments
(this is the most essential factor in
the preparation) and send the ripped
garments to the Pantorium for
cleaning or dyeing. This is a little
hint they gave me this week when
I took in some material to be dyed,
and I'll be more than glad if it proves
helpful to you. If the garment to be
dyed is faded or streaked in portions,
it will dye black most satisfactorily,
as, in dyeing light shades the faded
part takes up more dye than the un
laded, thus making the far'ed streaks
show as plainly as before dyeing.

THERE arc handsome blouses of
naive charm and simplicity in
the Blouse Department at Thompson

Milady "sewed a fine seam" when she
embroidered the designs in Japanese
flowers with eyeletted petals that
adorn them. Delightful touches of
filet and Irish crochet laces finish
some of these beautiful blouses,

The large basket for the center

display. One, a generously large
vase, with design in softly blended
colors of gray, green and gold, has a
large bumble bee attached by art

factors is the treatment given the
skin. Many women through lack of
information, think that "a face powder
is a face powder." They dope their
faces with materials (disguised as face

powder protects the skin, helps it to
look its best all the time and never

NEVER has more subtle originality
been exercised in dress modeling
than that displayed at Herzberg'i
Women's Toggery Shop at 1517
Douglas street. The most striking
fashions of the hour are expressed in
these models. Daring, lovely and al
together irresistible is a Mandarin
frock (at $39.50), in navy blue taffeta,
combined with soft silk decorated in
strikingly original motifs of Chinese
colors in dull gold and blues. A smart
touch is introduced in the bustle
draping of this dress. Another, a
combination of crepe and taffeta in
Cendre gray (ash color), satisfies all
the inherent daintiness of the feminine
heart. The crepe, in a cobwebby de
sign, all soft blue, gray and rose,
forms two panels loose hanging from
the shoulders, weighted down by two
bands of the taffeta, and drawn in at
the waistline by artistic girdle of
