THE BEE; OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20, 1918. 3 Adelaide Kenncrly d o EDITOR i mvm& wxmsmm houuiil? mm hn a a i an 11 a an iii .oOCIETrY Beautiful Maid of Mystery Lives in , Solitary Splendor at the Blacksione . i , - By MELLIFICIA, March 19. WATSON, get the needle! There is a woman of mystery in our midst. Even so. Young she is-and beautiful, with melting dark eyes and a rose leaf complexion. She drives her own car, her clothes are the very last word in style, and she lives at the Blackstonel T -1 " i ' 1 . t. . . ... t t 1 I is auc a society gin lruni uic east worn nui wnn a rouna t)i amncrs ana teas, who seeks rest and seclusion in peaceful Omaha? But why is she tak ing a business course? Every day finds her seated in front of her typewriter learning the "touch system," and delving into the mysteries of the queer little hooks and crooks commonly known as shorthand. ; But wait, Mellificia will not keep you in such suspense. Miss Mystery is from New York; for she has said so herself. True, she has worked untiringly at war work in New York, she has a brother who is now in France, and a sister who is training for a nurse that she may do her share. We think, but we don't know that this pretty lady is studying stenography that she tnav offer her services to Uncle Sam. Her apartment at the Blackstone is one of the handsomest ones in the hotel, where she lives in solitary splendor. Keep a sharp look out and you spy her one of these days driving along in her "chummy" roadster, looking pery pretty, but perhaps a little lonely.

Sir John Foster Fraser, who talks before the University club Saturday evening, promises fb be in greater demand thanvany titled Englishman Omaha has ever entertained. It seems that when Masefield spoke before the Fine Arts Society he told them that if Sir John ever came out this way they must not miss him, and between the demand for seats , among University Club members and the Fine. Arts' Society, the University Club capacity will be taxed to overflow. ' ' It is understood that Sir John will be entertained informally by directors of the club at dinner Sat urday evening preceding the lecture. Change Meeting Day.

Science Solyes the Butter Problem with Butter Made from the White eat of Cocoanuts M ' Just when the price of butter threats ens to make.it an unattainable luxury, spience perfects TROCO, the new vege table butter made from the white meat of the cocoanut. ' . ,It tastes exactly like tlie finest cream ery butter .and is even more .wholesome and pure. s y It is churned -with" fresh Pasteurized milk to give true butter flavor. Because of did laws, made before this discovery, we are compelled to label this nut-made butter as oleomargarine. But it contains no oleo oils no hog or beef fat. .TROCO is simply vegetable fats, churned with milk for the butter taste. Yet this appetizing combination costs no more than does the best grades of oleo-, margarine. V Tri f f5 vf A Can't Be Told From jButter TROCO has all the good qualities of fine creamery butter. The only difference you will notice is the cost. , It is as nutritious as cream butter, and as easily digested. It possesses the fuel value needed for energy. , TROCO when served has butter's golden color, because we supply the same vegetable coloring used by all butter makers. . Served on your table, without explanation, no one can tell the difference. Goes farther In Cooking TROCO, used in cooking, gives the same re sults as butter, except that it goes farther. Cooks should remember this and reduce the amount. It makes such cake as has not been known since butter soared in price. It allows the old-fashioned "rich cooking" that builds up the family health. Your DealerXlan Supply TROCO If your dealer doesn't already keep TROCO, ask him to get it for you. Tell him, you musf have this new-day successor to butter. Insist until he secures a supply. . For TROCO solves "one of the biggest prot -lems presented by our high food prices The problem ' of serving appetizing, wholesome butter at a "moderate cost. ' Made by the , . , TROCO NOT BUTTER CO., Milwaukee, Wis. PAXTON & GALLAGHER CO., Wholesale Grocers '( Distributors - MirsTTir,I? trader tb) law, all batter anbitltutes must be branded OteemarraritM.

THERE is nothing startling in a dress of black foulard with white organdy collars, and cuffs, yet how striking a woman can look, clad in such a frock if .the other accessories, of her costume are in keeping. A wide brimmed model of black Georgette crepe, trimmed only with a large jet pin, is the appropriate hat, while black clocked stockings and pat ent leather pumps complete the equip ment or good style to be found in this extremely smart example of the black and white cbstume.

CVWP. THINCSTl Lfl!fL H TOW I To Have Birthday Party or to Omit it, Is the Question An undercurrent of doubt has. been disturbing the peace of mini of some of the members of the Oma ha Woman's club, since it was de cided that a luncheon should be given .April 24 in celebration of the club's 25th anniversary. Social affairs in war time didn't seem just the most patriotic 'thing. Mrs. F. H. Cole thought that the money should be given to the State Council of Defense, of which, Mrs. A. L. Fernald, the club president, is county chairman.' Mrs. Ben Baker said she would be glad to give her luncheon fee to the Armenian relief, if the others were. Yet a club only has one sil ver anniversary and the enthusiastic members hated to pass by the occa sion without fhe customary celebra tion. After considerable private discus sion terms of peace were decided upon. These were based on the fact that even war relief workers were always given public luncheons and since everybody ate luncheon any way in spite of conservation, every one might as well eat together oa the 25th birthday. To remove all appearances of frivolity or extrav agance it was resolved to serve an ultra Hoover menu, to make, patriotic speeches and decorate the table with the national emblem. B'nai B'rith Sends Goodies to Soldiers at Camp Cody The base hospital at Camp Cody, Deming, N. M., is preparing for a large number of patients. Or at least the doctors and nurses will get busy when the big box of goodies sent by Omaha B'nai B'rith lodge" and its women's auxiliary to the soldiers there is received. In response to an appeal made by Jack Yellen, social worker for Jewish welfare among soldiers and sailors, the Omaha committee, including Ed ward Simon, Frank Spigle, J. J. Slos burg, Miss Hazel Cooper, Miss Bess Levey and Miss Esther Belmont, as sembled the following goodies, ship ment on which was made today: Forty-five pounds of home-made candy, 25 pounds of mixed nuts, 25 cakes, five pounds of figs, 100 pack ages of chewing gum, 5,200 cigarets and 275 packages of smoking tobacco. Besides this, 16 dozen handkerchiefs, five 'dozen toothbrushes, 50 bars, of toilet soap, books and magazines were included in the box. Leo Rosenthal made the largest donation of "smokes" for the boys. New Versus Old . Fashioned Education In the world war which has tested the vitality and resources of the na tions, one thing has been proven: Old fashioned educational subjects and methods will not meet the needs of contemporany life. The man who was recently appointed minister of edu cation in England says that his na tion must abandon the plan of teach- !nff snkiprtc writrh Viavp littlp nr nn connection, with the real needs of daily life. "We must teach our boys and girls subjects which will enable them to deal with the new problems which are confronting our people. The battle for Latin and Greek has been fought and lost. The schools of the. future will be modern schools and England will be stronger, happier, and better nation when its children are taught modern instead of worn-out knowl edge." We in America should lead in edu cational progress more than should the people of any other nation. This means that the work of the schools must be constantly improved as so cial conditions change, and as new needs arise. This is precisely what the new education is striving to ac complish, and the changes which you see taking place in the schools are occurring in response to the ever widening and deepening conviction that the business of the schools is to each the young what they will need to know and to do when they facel the problems of actual life.
