Howe . 1 8 Reported Missing Omaha Girl Describes Camouflaged Ships. Can you picture a lake, its smooth, icy surface reflecting the glow of num berless Japanese lanterns and the huge bonfires on the shore, over which 800 girls were gliding on their spates, looking like so many snowbirds in their attractive white skating suits? Such was the scene at a recent ice carni val given af Vassar college. Miss Ruth Mills, formerly of The Bee straff, was visiting friends at the school at the time and was. fortunate enough to witness the carnival. Miss Mills is staying at Miss Wea ver's school in New York with a friend, Miss Lucelia Miller of Des Moines. Miss Weaver conducted a school for American girls (in Munich before the war, which Miss Miller at tended. The school is a most attrac tive one. "It looks like an interior decorator's shop," writes Miss Mills. How I wish you could -drop in on me for a cup of tea." Do we wish we could? Well, rather! Miss Mills writes a 'number of little newsy bits about famous folk. Fanny Hurst, the celebrated short story writer, who is sqon to leave tor Rus sia, is really Mrs. Danielson. Mr. Dan ielson is instructor in music at Miss Weaver's school and Miss Mills says that he calls his wife "Miss Hurst." Irvin Cobb is also to go to Russia. "Last week we took a ferry boat to Staten island to see the camou flaged ships. We saw hundreds of ships in the harbor and waved goodby to the men on several transports with aching hearts. One camouflaged ship was white, with triangles covering it in pale shades of pink-blue-green and orange. Several gray transports had small black-colored ships in the shade of convoys painted on them so that it really looked, even at so short a distance, as if the ship was protected by a convoy." Mu Sigma Celebrates. Mu Sigma, the oldest study club in the city, celebrated its 24th birthday, which falls on February 26, with a social meeting following the program at the home of Mrs. G. W. Platner this afternoon. The simpler party was arranged to conform to the war time spirit. Mrs. M. D. Hussie, Mrs. E. L. Potter, Mrs. G. W. Noble and Mrs. W. S. Negele had charge of the affair. Mrs. I. W. Carpenter and Mrs. C. C. Belden poured tea. rSelfilof uj of Modem Woman's inhumanity to woman makes countless thousands mourn (apologies). Advice to the Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. EPLORABLE as it is, women are more or less responsible for the By ADELAIDE KENNERLY. i , . . , . . . . I j conamon over wnicn iney wan tne inequality ot sex. They make their surroundings to a great extent and it ij partly their fault that men, as a class, have so many liberties. Women make the road, over whioli other women must travel, so rough and rofky nor the men. There never is a time when women are lacking to do work among men prisoners. They call on these men, console them, encourage them, bring floral offerings, sing for them and cry for them. Men. who have stolen money from women and children, who have pauperized honest people, who have spent that money in gambling and debauchery, digging pits deeper and deeper in sin, men who have killed and wrecked trains, men who have sinned against the world and against individuals they have the sympathy of women who are so tyrannical in dealing with their own sex.

Howe, president of the organization, is reported missing for the past three months. She re signed her position at the Federal Land bank and is in Seattle, accord ing to a letter received by Mrs. F. J. Birss, the only one of the members of the league who had any word from her. Mrs. Howe did not resign her office as president, so Mrs. A. C. Anderson, the vice president, did not assume the position. Noimeetings have' been held since before Christmas, when the members met at the home of Mrs. Thor Jorgenson. Mrs. Howe was not present then. Mrs. Howe's letter( to Mrs. Birss, dated four weeks ago, stated she would return in a week or two. No word from her has been received sub sequently. Members of the league state they will declare the office of president va cant and install Mrs. Anderson, who has been a leading spirit in the work, as president. The drying plants in school buildings will be kept working again this summer, the women state. Women leave no stone unturned to secure paroles and pardons for their criminal proteges. They plead, almost on bended knees, with gov ernors and pardon boards to give these men another chance. They appeal to society to make life easier for them to go straight when they are out of prison and the governors and pardon boards and society, very oftn, heed their call. And why not? ' ' Yet why should ALL the love and forgiveness be saved for the men, while women who need the tender care and sympathy of other women have sneers and insults heaped upon their heads. They suffer blow after blow in trying to rise until the path to a better life is too often quite im possible. " When a woman shows in any way that she wishes to change her mode of life for a purer one, why don't other, women help her instead of mocking her efforts? Each one saved means just another good woman to hold up the morals of the community -the cementing, perhaps, of another home. Shame and disgrace you women are heaping upon your heads when you won't let your kind come back! And yet you weep briny tears over the unfairness between sexes while you light fires through which women must burn alj the way to eternity. Work among criminals is lopsided unless you help, these modern Magdalens. Remember Jesus was sympathetic while all the self-satisfied sinners around Him were ready to cast stones. v There never will be a single standard of morals, there never will be equality of sex so long as women won't let women come back. What Summer Girls Will Wear PERSONAL returned of Woman's' Citizenship And Influence Wanted All foreign born women in Ne braska are urged to become Amer icanized and all American wives of foreign men are urged to influence their husbands to tak' out full citizen ship papers, in an appeal sent out by Miss Hrbkova, chairman of the wo man's committee of the. Nebraska State Council of Defense. Women of every community are also being asked to find what men have not com pleted citizenship, -and to urge them to become Americanized. Statistics given out by-Miss Hrb kova show that in Nebraska last year 2,346 men took out their first papers, but only 795 took all three st'ps, and that there are many foreign men here who have not taken even the first step. But a very few women have taken any steps toward Americaniza tion. ' Of the foreign born in Nebraska, the Swedes dominate in Polk, Saline, Howard and Valley counties. Bohe mians are most numerous in Knox, Colfax, Butler and Saunders; Rus sians in Scottsbluff, Clay and Hit li cock; Italians m Lancaster and Dougl- ; I Mrs.- Robert Stoddard Thursday from Chicago.

EMERALD green, of vivid hue. and pongee tan, in the heav iest sports silk, develop this frock, which carries all the "ear marks" of the latest models for out door wear. The sleeveless jacket finds a way to be different by running into tabs at the side, where it buttons to the under-arm section of tan. Emerald green borders the collar ana cutis, and edges the box-pleated skirt of tan. Delightfully youthful is this dress, which is sure to be popular ir. rose or. Copenhagen blue, combined with white. Straw hats or those of self-fabric repeat the colors of these outing frocks. The summer girl of 1918 is destined to be a resplendently colorful creature. The Captain's Gloves A young soldier stood between two of his comrades in the khaki ranks and gazed at a gray-haired woman who stood about 20 feet away. "That's my mother," he said to no one in particular, uee, i wish 1 could rush over and kiss her." "Private Ellis," called the cap tain. The young man 'stepped from the ranks and saluted. "See if I left my gloves on the train." The young soldier hurried to the coach, and on his way back slipped over to where the old lady stood and implanted a toud kiss full on her mouth. Then he went to the captain, and, saluting, said: "They are not there, sir." "Take your place," ordered the captain, and, turning his back on his company, drew his gloves from his pocket and pulled them on while he smilingly vyatched an old 'lady go away happy. The soldiers hastened from the train, They lined up In the street. A woman watched them wistfully, Her face was old and sweet. "There's my old mother over there!" 'Twas Private Ellis spoke. To leave the ranks he did not dare An army rule Is no Joke. "Private Ellis," the captain called, "My gloves are In that car." And quickly now the soldier sped, Tho' crowds bis way did bar. On his return, without the" gloves Just as tho captain guessed He caught his mother In his arms, And held her to his breast. The captain, from his pocket, took His gloveend put them on, As from his eye he wiped a tear For that mother and her son.

Is It proper to send a ticket (for a rluh entertainment) to a voung lady ami sk her to meet m at the lub! Th4 club Is within walking distance Horn nor home. 1). Well, young man so the girl lives within "walking dtttnce" from your club? Why don't you exert yourself, then, to take that walk? do and rail for tho young woman you wieh to e.icort to the af.'a.r and. It it is a bad night, take her the.'o In a txat and sm-rlfUo clgarettca or lunches for a little while In order to proterl the girl you wleh to have aicompany you id the party and to secure her comfort. You eei-m to me to he a choice comluii.ition of iscinc? and lai-k of chivalry. If you huv the tinpu. donee to send this girl a ticket end to sug gest that sh meet you at th club; you drsvno nothing better than that .hc should completely lgnure you. Let Your Mother Invite Him. IVar Miss Kslifan: I have been about with a cinl ni.Hii for over a -year. Wc are very fund of each ether and hnvo agreed to marry, but are holding off the engage ment on account of the war situation. He does not live In my town Would It be all right for me to ak him to stay over the week-end when he calls. L. T. I). There I no reason why. on the Invitation of your mother or father or even a brother, this friend should not be entertained in your home over the week-end Jt is a bad thing to lay too much stress on the tact that one friend Is masculine and one feminine. This causes an almost morbid sex consciousness. If, as far a propriety allow, girl were to treat their men friends somtwbat as they treat their girl friends, It wou.d really be far bettor for everyone concerned. Of course If you were a girl living alone you could Invite a girl friend to spend the week end with you and the most primitive oom mon sense recognizes the fact that the same rule (foes not apply to a man. Hut either a girl or a man can with perfoet propriety visit the family of the other on the Invlta tatlon ot or with the consent of some dlgl- nlfled older member of that family. Take the One Who Loves You. Dear Miss Fairfax: I have come to you for advice. I am a young girl ef IS and have been going with a boy for about one year, and last fall he went about JO miles away from me, and since he went to work for this man he has only been to sue me once, and that was shortly after hu went to this place to work. And tow, laimy, he does not write or try to call me over the telephone. Do you think he has got an other girl he loves better than ma? There Is another boy of It who diarly loves me and wants to go with me. Phould I accept thla young man? He Is a tine young men and he Is loved by evorynody. He has many friends. Hoping to see my letter In print and thanking you for advice. Sin cerely yours. HKBSIE. Take the one who loves you by alt means. Evidently the first man has lost Interest since he lives away from you. Poser for Bachelor. Somewhere In Cuming County.--Mls Fair fax, Omaha Bee: A bachelor-farmer's letter happened to cstch my eye again and having Just gotten through with my work and nothing In particular to do, I thought 1 would take a "whack" at htm and let him know there are still soma farm girls that aren't farmers' wlvee yet and that love the farm and hie "pardonable ambi tion, too. Now for his letter. He sure hit the nail on the head when he said a "decent and desirable" girl would hesitate a long time before answering such an ad. Now, ae he states he would like to have a farmer's daughter, so to my notion If he i were a "decent and desirable" chap he would not have to go wife hunting through ; a newepaper, but If he were really thinking , seriously of matrimony he would go ami , look about himself and If he Is suoh a well-to-do farmer as he states I am sure he would have no trouble finding a "decent and desirable" girl right In his own neigh borhood. He need not think that a farm girl would very easily answer such an ad, as they generally have enough chances with boys whom they know personally, socially and religiously. So they need not advertise. So much from a farmer's daughter and one that is proud to be suoh, for 1 love the farm In spite of all the hard work and the farm for me every time. Please do not attach my name to this, as I would not have my folks or friends know I wrote this, snd I'm wondering my. self that I have enough grit to do It. I'll bet Mr. Farmer Is doing em grinning when he reads this. Yours for good tuck, FARM OIBL. Tour letter Is your opinion. The Bachelor-Farmer's communications show more In telligent thought than any of the hasty re plies yet received. Girls are quite likely to fly at conclusions prompted by pride. In my opinion, there Isn't a girl who has writ ten to me giving her rsustlc views ot this man's attitude who Isn't deeply Interested and would give most anything to meet him. Evidently you are a fine girl and your let ter Is only a pose. Wrong. reor Miss Fair's: I qm girl of 14. snd am very fond of a boy of li. I have heeif going with ii i 111 for about a year and a half My folks don't know that I g.i with him. Is this wrong? Should I tell them? What words should I use? lie hss often kissed me amid night whin he takes me home. I don't mind this but Is it right for him to Kiss me at parties In front of the others, especially when th other girls don't allow It? . .l I l.liKKl". You are a mere child and nii.st certainly should tell your parents. I am surprised that you allow this boy to kiss ou at par ties or In private. You are doing very wrong Mothers Here Interested in New Treatment Believes Golda Over Night and Croijp in Fifteen Minutes Applied Externally. Good Night Prayer By Elizabeth Atwood.
