j'HEBEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1918. ' 11 f Conducted by Ellp Fleishman - - By MELLIFICIA. Franco-American Spirit in Evidence At Boucher Lecture It was interesting to note how many of our prominent people speak and understand French, for there was such a large audience at the Fon tenelle Wednesday night, when Gen eral Arthur Boucher, speaking in French, described the battle of Verdun. Seldom have we seen a more en thusiastic audience. The applause wa so prolonged and spontaneous a; here seemed to be a real Frenc merican spirit in the air. When i picture' of a French private soli' was thrown on the screen the :husiasm of the Omahans knew rounds and it seemed too bad i he pictured soldier couldn't hear t:.. , )vation. . Even such a distinguished speaker is General Boucher couldn't stop the mitting needles, however, for they i '.licked busily all evening. Miss Mar garet Greer Baum plied four shiny, , iteel ones and so we felt sure that a arm, woolly sock was in progress. Army officers there were in pro- , usi'on and they sat forward tjn their :hairs not missing a word. e spied ne of prettiest society girls, Miss Harriet Smith, in the balcony with a vtalwart officer on each side, and, eally, there were so many bars and itars and medals in evidence that it vas really bewildering. . Mrs. Luther Kountze laughingly said that she didn't undestand French very well, that made Mellificia feel better and she wonders if there weren't a niimoer in the same predicament! The Triple Alliance Bond for Birthday Present. Little Margaret Eastman received for a birthday present Wednesday from her parents, Mr. and Mrs. 0. T. Eastman, a $50 Liberty bond.

This book was written by Karl de Sclmeintz, gen eral secretary of the Society for Or ganizing Charities. Philadelphia. "It is designed to present the purposes and ideals of home service which the American Red Cross is extending to the families of the thousands of our soldiers and sailors." Six hundred thousand copies luc already been distributed. "This Side of the Trenches", de scribessome of the many thingslone liness, sickness, death, difficulty in managing household affairs, financial troubles which are constantly hap pening to the families of soldiers and sailors and which threaten seriously to affect their security. To help these families out of such predicaments the Red Cross has developed a home service section in most of the Red Cross chapters throughout the United By GERTRUDE BERESFORD GEORGETTE crepe in a lovely shade of old blue, wearing a little fold of crepe, which may fall below or be rolled up on the brim, is a charming background for a band and white bow of purple vel vet ribbon (upper right), and makes an ideal hat for dressy occasions.

Con trary to all precedent we will begin with the man first, for he hails from the Lone Star state and these Tex ans are so fascinating! The girl is very young and most attractive. Everyone knows her two charming sisters, one who is a singer and now lives in New York and the other Titian-haired, one who lives in Omaha. The young lady is not denying the report and so watch carefully for the wedding, when Melhhcia can say, T told you so!" Is Advice to the Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Is He Worth Knowing? Dear Miss Fairfax: About thres weeks .,. I met a youns man at an amusement pface to whi.-h both he and I go frequently, but npt together. He la well manner,,! and refined. The fact ia that he is married, but doe" not live with his wife. He has no rhZX. I have learned of his m.rrlsse from himself, but I know nothing of his married life. I would like your advic -to whether It would be proper for me to keep ar appointment with him and oon.tnue ouTfrlendshlp. He is 19 and has beej, mar ried since April. ANXIOUS When a man marries unhappily am later meets a fine girl for whom he cara- se riously they have a real problem to olve. a real tragedy to face. But when a 19-year-old "youngster" a mere child with rec ord back of him of a marriage at 13 -umes into a girl's life, she would do well to s op and think. Is such a boy worth knowing? If he is emotional, weak-willed, unstab. and without any real loyalty In his natui- it wouldn't do much good to know him even if ' he were single. His foolish, hbid.ong marriage may not prove these things I am not In a position to judge, but 1 &nt you to put yourself In a position to Judge. When a girl goes about with a married man her reputation Is generally fo f'ted. This boy sounds like the sort of het.dk ng, Impetuous, changeable youngster, who would not be able to protect you I'.her from the world or himself. You must pro ceed very slowly and carefully. Tt ou have a brother or father, or mothe-, let one of them Investigate. You are dnft-ng Into a dangerous position when you term a friendship such as you suggest. Take soundings and chart your course before you irift too far. Don't Marry Him. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am going about with a young man In the marine corps. I know nothing of his people, whether he is married or single, and am dependent on what he says. He ia anxious to marry, but I hardly know what to do. I have a splendid portion, t feel as though by marrying him I would have to do without a great many things which I have been used to getting. Now, Miss Fairfax, I, am only 17, and have no mother or any one to whom to jo for advice. BEULAH, Of course you must not marry a mat) of nhpm you know absolutely nothing. If you Jon't know whether to put confidence In him or not, that la probably because a wise little sentinel down In your, own soul Is yarning you against him. I regard a 17-year-old girl as really too young for mar riagel I regard this case as one In which you do not really love. You see, you are thinking about your fine position and hes itating to sacrifice material things for the sake of this man. Now find the sum total of every argument against the marriage. Here you have doubt of the man, plus your own youth, plus your unwillingness to sacrifice for him, plus your uncertainty whether he Is free to' marry at all. So of course" you won't make a marriage which offers so little chance of happiness. and good looks. When you have had a drink you are not in full command of your self. You are a prey to all sorts of bad In fluences that could not have touched you but for the effects of the liquor. Stop drink ing at once. Then go to this man proudly and with fine dignity and say to him: "I have Just begun to realize what a fine friendship yours Is. I was starting to form a bad habit and you called my attention to it and made me realize the Importance of conquering myself. Let's be real friends and try to help each other always over the rough places just as you have helped me now." Be gracious enough and generous enough to acknowledge your fault and his helpfulness. That Is far more important than petty minor consideration of false pride and pert Independence.

Palmyra, Mich. Mrs. Chas. T. Ful ler, of this place, writes: "In 1911 I got run-down, and I suffered great pain... with both dull and sharp shooting pains... also back and head I was weak and could only drag around, and should have been In bed, for I really wasn't able to be up. At times I would have spells that would be so bad I'd have to go to bed, and suffered Intensely... I decided to try Cardui, and saw a great Improvement In less than a month's time. I. used 7 or 8 bottles and was stronger... I got so much better that my strength returned and my work was easy for me. Cardui did me a world of good. It built me up In health and strength. I haven't had one of those bad spells since. I haven't had to take any more medicine since or have any doctors either and have been able to do my work right along . ..I recommend It to other women highly as the best medicine I know of for women who suffer from female trouble." If yon suffer from female troubles, follow this advice. Get a bottle of Cardui today and give It a thorough trial It should help you, as it has helped thousands of other women In the past 40 years. At all druggists. EB-14 Girls and Drink. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: 1 am In love with a youa) man who seems to Ijr In love with me, but at times he Is very dictatorial and offends my pride. - I take a drink occasionally, and he reprimands me for this. Would you advise me to be obedient and stop drinking, thereby giving him the upper hand, or enow Independence? LILLIAN. Whether or not this man 11 dictatorial, bonestly doesn't matter. What does matter la yourself and the dangerous habit you are forming. Pon't worry about your pride. Kecognlso the evil drink will do to you. Apart from the fact that the woman who drinks Is not judged kindly by the world, there Is this greater consideration: tiijlnk lll undermine your health, weaken your wal fiber aou take its. toil of your youth i Not An Impossible Barrier. Dear Miss Fairfax: I em 23, all alone in this world. I was brought up by very dear j mends, ana as they are both dead now, I am taking care of myself. Five years aso I met a very nice young man, who In time I learned to love. We were to be married In June. I have been very happy in our love until the other day. when I learned through accident that his mother and my father were brother and sister, making my sweetheart and mysHf first cousins. I realize that under the cir cumstances we can never marry, yet without him I can find no happiness. I dearly love him and I know that ho loves me. I have worried myself into a nervous breakdown, under which I suffered terribly. His heart Is broken, too. DESPAIR. My dear child, there Is nothing that need cause you to torture yourself and nothing that need drive your lover away from you. I don't believe In marriages between first cousins, but that Is from the point of view of eugenics, and neither morals, decency nor the laws of all our states forbid such marriages. Since you two came to love each o'her before you knew you were couBins, and since the separation which you explain to me (in a letter far too long to publish ai a whole) have only augmented your feelings, I think those feelings too real and deep to sacrifice. There are even some scientists I I mmmmm i , Mrs. J. M. Welshans was re-elected president of the Mu Sigma club at the meeting Wednesday at the home of Mrs. A. O. Peterson. The other officers are Mrs. George Thompson, vice president; Mrs. P. M. Conklin, secretary, and Mrs. N. P. Feil, treasurer. who uphold cousin marriages. I think you must have done some reading which you do not understand and which gives you an ex. aggerated view of the situation. In general I do not believe la marriages between first cousins. In your case I think you are mak ing p-n unnecessary tragedy and trying to endure a separation you are not called on to undergo.
