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

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.

for seats , among University Club
members and the Fine. Arts' Society,
the University Club capacity will be

urday evening preceding the lecture.

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. '

Black and White Always
Smart
mm .
By GERTRUDE BERESFORD.
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.

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.
