THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, JULY- 3, 1918. (. i XI Conducted by Ella Fl e i s h m a iy. arua i f5i Girls, Greed and Graft By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Before me lies a letter which I hope applies only to one girl in ten thou sandand which I fear applies to one in a hundred. For that hundredth girl this little holding up the mirror to the canker spot that will blacken her whole nature. "I had a friend for over a year. While I, was away last summer she met a man of 50, twice her own, age. He fell madly in love with her, and began to take her to dinner? and luncheons and to lavish on her such gifts as evening gowns, expensive sweater coats, silver bags with money enclosed, perfumes, powders and other lavish gifts. "She never mentioned the other . man to me, nor did she let him know of me. I returned accidentally and we. met Two days later he disap peared, and she has not heard from 1 him since. She broke the news of his gifts to me gently but gradually I got the whole story. I'm only earn ing $30 a week, but she wanted me to give her a lavalliere, set with three small diamonds, for her Christmas gift I could not, and gave her a $20 gift instead. Then she wrote and told me not to try to see her for the pres ent, but to save my money, and when , I felt I could spend a great deal more on her to let her know and she would take me back. I know now that I am well rid of a woman who would be an encumbrance, but the disap ; pointment hurts. The other man was honest, too, and I feel sure he planned : to marry her. even as I did. j. K." Cold-blooded, mercenary, selfish, a eheat these are the titles that spring to the lips in contemplating the his tory of J. K.'s friend. She was more than that she was guilty of a high crime against herself that of dwarf ing her own soul. When any girl measures her own charms in terms of what they will buy for her and looks upon friend- ship' as a means of obtaining lavish gifts, she is putting herself in the ugliest classification into . which a woman can fall. Mercenary Girl. Of course, the girl who lets an in fatuated old man pay for her clothes and give her money never stood off and took a good, square, honest look at herself. If she had done so, this is what she must have seen: A merce nary girl selling a smile for a pair of shoes, a friendly word for a new hat. an hour of her society for an evening Hot Weather Salads Are you growing salad plants in ' your garden?

'There is a scarcity of kerosene also and electricity is, of course, not available to the isolated farmhouse," says Mr. Anderson, who quotes from the "Tidsskrift for Industri," which, in discussing the possibilities of acetylene and alcohol illumination, states: "Acetylene may now legally be used and may be included in rire insuiance risks" As a sult the manufacture of acetylene lamps has flourished, greatly and at the end of the year 180 types had been put on the market hi o. canned tomatoes. 1 T. minced onion. 1-J o. grated cheese. 2 t. salt Paprika.

Watch for No. 7. gown a creature selling herself. Friendship and love give. When a eirl is capable of asking a man for an expensive Christmas gift and of telling him, callously, It you haven t any money you needn't come around," she is just a huckster, crying her wares in the alley like the men who drive around their little carts full of red apples. But they are honorable hucksters, trafficking in merchandise. She is selling her soul, and not guess ing she is related to the woman who sells in more businesslike exchange. The duplicity of deceiving the two men about each other's existence is the merest trifle we waive it aside. But her lies. Well, what is deceit to a supreme cheater who parcels out her cold, unsympathetic nature at so much a handshake? An extreme case, you say? Yes, I hope so, but a striking illustration of the lesser cases that go on untragi cally about us all the time. The girl who wants attention frVrni men, who demands that they take her out and spend money in her, who looks for gifts, defends herself like this: "Isn't fair that he should come and wear out the parlor furniture. He ought to do something to show his appreciation of my society." , The Difference. Oh, you mercenary Mabel, has it ever occurred to you that Johnnie shows the most earnest appreciation ot your society by merely seeking itl A girl who bores him, but to whom he is indebted, he takes to the movies; the girl he's perfectly willing to share with the other fellows he takes to a dance, but the girl Johnnie honestly likes is the girl with whom he can contentedly spend a quiet ev ening at home. - ' V Life is full of "quiet evenings at home." Happy married people have to be chummy enough to enjoy them together. Happy married people give each other sympathy and understand ing without setting a price on them. So do lovers so do friends. A girl who puts a price on her so ciety, who lets greed and gifts and graft come to appeal too much to her, is simply unfitting herself to be a friend or a sweetheart or a wife. And that is a worse charge than the one we made originally against her. Greedy, mercenary, calculating, cold J. K.'s friend and all others of that type are unfitting themselves for life and love. For the sake of little presents, and a garish present, they are forswearing life's whole beautiful future and the great gifts of love. rnmrn m m mmm quklitV first A NOT HOW SOON? .BUT (SOW GO0D INDIVIDUAL tX PERT ATT EMTIO t PROMPT 'DELIVERY Photo supplies exclusively MOtfT.OEMPJTER CO.

(Peggy, coins to see how the war crops of the Giant of the Woods are getting along, finds him In despair because they are being attacked by hordes of insect Huns. When her Blrdland subjects greet ner, she gets an idea of how to save the crops.) PEGGY ran over to the woods where the Birds were awaiting her. "My beautiful Birds 1" she cried, holding out both arms to them. "I've been lonesome for you." "And we for you, Princess Peggy 1" sang the Birds, fluttering about hap: pily. Judge Owl rustled sleepily out of a hole in a tree and hooted his poetical greeting: "When you're not here, we're in the dumps. We feel as though we had the mumps; Our hearts are like a lot of lumps; You'd take us for a pack of chumps." "It makes me happy to think you like me so much," said Peggy. "But I'd rather have you cheerful when I'm not here than to think of you as sad and moping. I want you to be gay and gladsome for my sake. My mam ma says it is a selfish love that wants an absent one to be sorrowful." "You are right, Princess Peggy' twittered Bob Olink and Mrs. Bob, be gining. a funny hopping dance that made the other Birds laugh. As they danced they sang: "It's jolly fun to be alive; . On joy and mirth all creatures thrive. We'll banish trouble far away; There's lots more sense in being gay." "But I'm here on a very serious matter now," broke in Peggy, grow ing sober as she thought of her errand. "I'm awfully worried because Farmer Dalton is in danger of losing all his fine crops from bugs, and insects, and things." The Birds looked at each other and then at Peggy. There was a strange silence for a moment, and then Mr. Swallow spoke up bitterly: "It serves him just right for the way he treats the Birds." Peggy was surprised. She had thought Mr. Dalton a very' nice man, one who would . be considerate of every one. Perhaps the Birds were still hostile to his helper, the Giant of the Woods, who had been their worst enemy until she tamed him. "What has he done?" she asked. . "Come up heref and we will show you," said Mr. Swallow, leading her to a knoll overlooking the Dalton farm. "Do you see all those funny things over there in the fields?" "Do you mean those scarecrows?" she said. "I'd call them Scarebirds," shrilled Mr. Swallow. "We thought Mr. Dal ton was a pretty good friend of ours until he put those things up to keep us away. We used to go into his fields and help ourselves to insects and grubs and beetles that were after his crops, but this summer he has shown us that we are not welcome, and so we have kept away. That's why his growing things are being eaten up." "I thought there must be some rea son," exclaimed Peggy, "and that's why I came to you, my loyal subjects, for I felt that 'you would be too patriotic to let any American crops be destroyed by insect Huns if you could help it I'm sure you must be mistaken about Farmer Dalton not making you welcome." "You wouldn't think so, Princess, if you'd been shot at as I was last week," twittered Bob Olink. "I don't believe he intended those Scarecrows to keep you Birds away. You know Crows do a lot of harm." "But these are not Scarecrows, they are Scarebirds," insisted Mr. Swallow. "Scarecrows are just old clothes stuffed with straw and with hat on them. They don't frighten us. In fact, I had a dandy summer v me in one of them last year. These things are different. They thrash around with their arms and make awful noises. Even at that we might not mind them so much if Mr. Dalton didn't bang away with his gun every time a bird ventures anywhere near his place." "There's something very wrong here," decided Peggy, "and it needs fixing right away, or he is sure to lose his crops. Won't you Birds help him?" "We can't help our enemy," chorused all the Birds very determinedly, "and he is our enemy who scares and shoots us." "Can't you do it even for the sake of our soldiers," pleaded Peggy. "If the insect Huns eat the crops our sol diers will not have food to eat this coming year and neither will we." A bird thajt's dead can't eat a Hun That's just the truth and not a pun Thus hooted Judge Owl in answer. The other Birds nodded their heads in emohatic approval of the senti- 1 14 Refinish Vour Car the BjeesyWay 1217 Farnam St. 1917 Farnam St. 2412 Farnam St. 18th & Burt SU.

Wait here for me." "Come back quickly," chorused the Birds. Peggy ran across the road and over the fields toward the truk srarden where the Giant said the farmer was working. On the way she came to one of the queer Scarebirds. As she was passing, it suddenly flapped it arms, gave a stratling rattle, and let out a scary howl. Peggy leaped away in alarm. The thing had given her an awful scare. No wonder the Birds were fright ened. Trembling, she ran on to find Mr. Dalton. (In th next ehsptxr.
