Use of Bee Want Ads 3 O.CI EJTY By MELLIFICIA, March 22. Omaha Society Womeri Forget Luncheon Engage ments; Hostesses Take It in Good Humor DID you ever forget a luncheon engagement? Then you know the agoniz ing feeling that comes over you when the indignant hostess calls over the 'phone and asks where you were when you should have been sitting at her luncheon table. . 1 , . "Oh, I forgot," is such a lame excuse, but a very true one, nevertheless. Rut does it appease the lady? Hardly. You might forget to eat your break fast or to purchase a new spring hat, but to forget her luncheon should be a penitentiary offense. This is not an imaginary situation by any means, for certain Omaha ma trons have been known to forget social engagements and they tell this joke on themselves, and their hostesses, with perfect candor. . Mrs. Frank Coad gave a delightful little luncheon party at her home not long ago. The guests arrived all dressed one guest did not appear, rinaliy. luncheon was served and still she did not come. In fact, to make'a long story short, she didn't put in an appearance at all. Of course, you are eager to know who she was and you all know her well, Mrs. Adolph Storz. ( Mrs. George Later lias been known to forget social dates, too, but one experience is enough and we feel sure that it will never happen again. Mrs. Frank Pierce has also been placed in this embarrassing situation and we know of A few others who have received the afore-mentioned telephone calls n "the morning after." Farewell Party. i Mrs. Harriet Howe Duke enter tained at an afternoon bridge this afternoon at her. home in honor of Mrs. A. S. Midlam, who leaves Satur day for New York.

Drama Section Meeting. The drama section of the Associa tion of Collegiate Alumnae will meet at 12 o'clock Saturday, instead of 11 oclock, at the home of Mrs. John McDonald. , For Bride-Elect- Miss Mildred Todd was hostess at a unique shower in honor of Miss Helen Van Dusen at her home today. The guests brought , miscellaneous gifts, which included everything dear to the heart of the bride-to-be. The spring flowers, jonquils and tulips, were used through the rooms, and on the tea table, and 20 girls, intimate friends of Miss Van Dusen, were guests at the affair. ' , For Dr. and Mrs. Fling. Mr. and Mrs. Halleck Rose will en tertain at dinner at their home this evening in compliment to Dr. and Mrs. Frederick M. Fling, who are their house guests for a few days. Fol lowing the dinner the guests will at tend Dr. Fling's lecture. Famous Organist Here, Mr. Clarence Eddy, the famous or ganist, who has been on an extensive tour, is spending the' week-end at the II. P. Whitmore home. Mi. Eddy is an old friend of Mr. Whitmore ,and Miss Whitemore and has stopped off for a few days in his way home to California. w Mr. Eddy has consented to give an organ recital Sunday afternoon at 4 oclock in the' JMrst rresoytenan church. High School Banquet. Central High Schol band gave its first annual banquet at the Blackstone Thursday evening. Richard Wood was toastmaster and toasts were E:ven by Principal Joseph G. Masters. E.

A BANNER crop of sweaters is assured us this summer. The wools are produced iri shades more lovely than ever, but mercerized cotton is the smart choice for knit ted sweaters. For instance, mer cerized cotton with cuffs and collar of robin's egg blue angora makes thisr attractive sports model.'1 The skirt of white silk is pleated and robin's egg blue wool or mercerized cotton in the same .shade of blue. A blue suede belt holds the fullness of the sweater at the waist line and a similar band decorates the sailor hat of white, blanket stitched to match the' skirt. - ; ; 3 . Newspaper Woman Will Lecture in t Omaha Monday Mary Boyle O'Reilly, noted news paper woman, will lecture in Omaha Monday at 4V o'clock in the Fonte nelle. under the auspices of rtie Fine Arts' society. Miss O'Reilly will tell her European experiences just pre ceding the declaration of war, on the day of which she was in Belgium and fell back vith the population to Light. Miss O'Reilly came back to do relief work, interviewed the Belgian queen, worked with Edith Cavell, the nurse who was executed as a spy by the Germans,' and was arrested, in Hol land as a "dangerous war correspond ent" and deported. Miss O'Reilly reached France dur ing the battle of the Marne and lived in Bordeaux when the government was in exile. The newspaper woman had many thrilling experiences in the war zone. ' She is the daughter of John Boyle O'Reilly, famous Irish patriot and writer.. What to Do and How to Do It "l know what the United States food administration is asking us to save," one housewife, was heard to remark, "but 1 can't cut down any more than I have unless I can get something to take its place." -, That is exactly the question to be solved. What will "take its place?" The first thing to determine, then, is what each of these foods you are asked to erve, contributes to the body s needs. And the next step is to find other foods that will supply those same food elements. Wheat furnishes starch, for one thing. But so do the otherc steals. Why noVuse corn, oats, rye, rice, and barteyjis both an admixture in flour and as a cereal? Serve such starchy vegetables as sweet and Irish potato more often and iess bread will be eaten. Meat has long been considered the chief source of protein. But there are Lmany other foods equally rich in body building material, such as milk, poul try, fish, cheese, eggs, dried legumes and some of the nuts. The duty of the patriotic housewife is to study which of these foods are most satisfactory to her family in exchange for meat and then to devise new ways of com jining and serving them. She can also extend the meat flavor and make a very little meat go a very long way. For stews some of these "meat ex tenders" are potatoes, parsnips, car rots, and turnips, while inexpensive meat dishes can be prepared by com bining the cheaper cuts of meat with rice, potato, and other vegetables. , V Home Hints ; When roasting or baking a piece of meat skewer some thin suet over it. This saves the trouble of basting, prevents it from burning and flavors the meat nicely. , , , . To remove iron rust from white ma terial, wet the article with lemon sun. If the first application fails try it again. , , ; The creaking of a door may be stopped by rubbing the hinges with a piece of soap. -This does not spoil the look ot tne paint as wnen on is used. - ' To renovate black lace', wash it in strong vinegar and water, rinse it in strong coffee, and iron while damp with a piece of flannel laid over it 5 To remove wax from cloth, hold a red-hot iron vjrithln an Inch or two of some blotting paper laid on the cloth over the marks. . Advicp to Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. A Trousseau. Dear Mid Fairfax: 1 am to be man lr4 next February. Can you tell me wha my trousseau ahould consist ot? Am la mod erate circumstances and cannot afford any thing elaborate. A WKLL WISHliH. For an answer to your question It would be well tor you to write to the editor of a fashion magaslne. Enclose a stamped en velope for a personal reply and state lust how much you can afford to spend. Lave recently received a great many f eques's Just like yours but an engaged girl can hardly be called "lovelorn," can the? v Be Honest. Dear Miss Fairfax: A short time ago I met a very ilna ' v ouns officer In the United States army. J ftve him no encouragement, though he feated me as though I had known him for years. This young man has since left tor France and has promised to write. .Would yau ad vise me to answer? I have since f.-iind that. 1 dearly love 4 he young soldier His home town does not happen to be In this section of the country, and unless I request him to he may never return to th's part ot the country again. MADELINE. What la your trouble about? Tou flirted and coquetted with your soldier boy end now you wish you had been more genuine about showing hlmj your feelings, "'lite sweet, honest letters with some of your genuine feelings for him expressed In thtm. That doesn't mean that yeu need to be bold or forward, but that you are to send a real expression of fine feeling to a ('..titer who Is giving himself to the service of bis country. Why Not Marry? Dear Miss Fairfax: I have been going about with a young man for two year Our sincere frlendslp turned to love. Everything was running along fine until now. His firm wants him to go to Florid, tbey offer him from $50 to (60 per week I am very anxious to see him make bis way In this world, but I will be terribly lonesome, as I am an orphan. We are too young to marry, as he is enly 21 years of age, and I am IS years. K. V. L Under the circumstances, I really don't see why you are one bit too young to marry. Tou have known each other for two years. Tou were friends first and are. now lovers. If he goes to Florida alone, he wl'l ircb ably be lonely and homesick and won' g'.ve his best to his work; and the knowledge that you are up here grieving for him won't help him a bit. If you are sure of your feelings for each other, marry first and make good together. Of course you don't want to stand between your swetheart and his splendid opportunity. Don't Be Narrow-Minded. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am about to be married. I was brought up by an uncle, and do not remember my parents. Now my uncle tells me that my mother and father weme of a different religion. My friend Is of the same religion as my mother' was. I do not know what to do, as I have not told my friend about It yet. I am not over the shock yet and I am afraid the news would break my sweetheart's heart. Dear Miss Fairfax kindly advise me what to do. v. P. M. There is no tragedy in your situation nothing for you to be shocked about noth ing to break your fiance's heart. Suppose your mother and father differed from each other In religion, followed another creed than the one to which you adhere after all I suppose they were good people who loved their Maker, worshipped Hlra honestly after the dictates of their own hearts and tried tolove their fellow-men? Now sup. pose you do the sama thing. If you really believe In God the Father, then you must also believe In the brotherhood of man and you can't get So excited because a brother or a parent worshipped a little differently than you do. Tell you sweetheart your discovery, but don't act as If It were a con fession of shame or a relation of misfor tune. It Is Just an Interesting fact about the mother you never knew but still re member tenderly. A Man's Attentions. Dear Miss Fairfax: What would you think of a young man 23, earning 135 per week, who., knows a girl five months, en Joys hospitality at her home, and who, during all the five months, has never shown the slightest appreciation? My sister, whom he comes to see, tries to excuse him by saying that he may know no better, or that perhaps he considers her more sensible than other girls, and that she does not require foolish attentions. The young man Is well educated, refined, supports no one but himself, and calls on no other girls. I think he can, therefore, hardly be excused. , K. C. I think your sister Is right and that the young man probably 'does not realize that he Is behaving rather selfish. While that explains him, it does not alter, him and ' make him unselfish or thoughtful. Possibly he Is frugal and Is Inclined to feel that the girls of today are too much inclined to make extravagant demands and that there fore your sister's charm for him lies In her simple tastes. No girl wants to be classed as a "grafter," and yet no girl really enjoys the friendship of a man who la too selfish to feel that giving ber pleasure Is an Im portant part of that friendship. "Watchful waiting" Is about the best course to pursue. After all, your sister does not want either to hint or to ask for the attentions which mean nothing unless they are freely glveo- Sorry Again. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee. -Being In a rather sentimental mood this evening and incidentally receiving some ot the old Bees on the library table, I happen by chance to ' observe In the society page, ''Advice to l.ove-Irn." the "Bachelor's Appeal,' or "The Reader," as you signed It, of February 2. I hardly know what comment to make, but above all I think the gentleman Is very sincere In his letter. Now I haven't much to say for myself, but will add, this Is the first attempt I have ever made in answering an ad of this krnd. But it may bring to gether undesirable results and ilt may not. Now you may wish to publish this note.' but do as you wish. My note Is to obtain the young bachelor's Address, so I may com municate with him.' Please do not men tion my name, for I am well known around here and The Bee la also very numerous. However, I live In a town of 1,800, have a fine home and pleasant surroundings, but still my soul calls forth with dissatisfaction a "longing" whiclt has never yet been fulfilled, possibly due to the fact of never meeting Just one Ideal companion or com. rade for life. So, dear Miss Fairfax, If you will con sider this note and answer my wish. Thank ing you, I am, sincerely, IOWA READER. "The Bachelor" has written a farewell letter, answering all the communications addressed to him through The Bee. I am sorry I cannot give you his address, but wa could not attempt as momentous a task as finding husbands and wives for everyone Why Not Study? Dear Miss Fairfax: In the paper 1 noticed that you give so many girU advice. I wonder If you can also help me. I am a very attractive blonde, 22 years old and am five feet nine Inches tall, and am full of pep. I Joke all the time and my friends always asks me if I do not get tired ' laughing. I want to ask you where I would have to go If I wanted to go on the stage. I am a good singer, that Is plain singing, and dance real well I fiav always longed to go on the stage. Do yon think I would be a good one for the stage? Please advice me just as you think. Thanking you in ad vance, I am, , ' BLONDE. ' If you , think you have talent for ths stage I would suggest that you enter dramatic school and study for a career. ' Why don't jot begin by taking lessons In 1 elocution? Too must have natural talent. however, or ajr studies will avail you nothing. ... " .. ,l i
