THE farmerette has captured our hearts, as surely as the big out doors of which she is so important a part these days, when our women must "carry on." Thousands of girls are finding health and happiness in this branch of work for Uncle Sam. The costume for farm work is nec essarily important, because comfort means less fatigue and more effi ciency. This slip-on coat is developed in khaki. The neck opening may finish with a lacer'or be worn with a sailor tie. The lacer is cooler be cause of less bulk around the neck. However, a tie of khaki may start from just under the collar without extending around the neck. The bloomers are like riding breeches, buttoned with a cuff over the knee. Khaki leggins similar to those our soldiers wear, protect the legs from brush and briar, and are worn over stout-heeled shoes, Oxfords or high shoes. A wide straw hat is the best and coolest protection from the mid day sun. Mrs. J. E. George has been named chairman of the information desk at the Masonic temple Red Cross work rooms.

Watch for step No. 1L Advice to Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Selfish. Dar Mis Fairfax, Omaha Be: I am 17; my father died when I wai 4. and mother and I lived together until recently. When I was about 13, mothor marrlod a man with aeven children. Wo lived to gether about onn year. I was unahlo to set along with the children ao mother loft him. For three years thty wero separated, and now ahe la again going to live with him. The girl neareet my age came up from Brooklyn to aee me Sunday. We went out together, and I introduced her to Home of my friends. She was all right with tha glrls, but the language and actions sho used with the boys was something dread' tut. I told my mother that I couldn't go out with her If we lived together, so mother told me t will have to live outside. H. A. G. My dear girl, you have had a loving mother to bring you up. Rosie la one of (even, and the busy father supporting them has had no time or opportunity to teach her the things your mother has taught you. Don't you think lt would ba only decent and kind and fair to give Rosle her chance? Once for your sake, your mother left her second husband now she Is going to live ber own Ufa and go back to him. And. selfish little girl that you are, you are de manding that your mother give up her husband because you don't like your step brothers and sisters. Suppose you consider other people for a change and forget your self. Go and Mva In your mother and step father's household and try to look upon yourself ss om-tenth of the family not the 'whole show!" Cheering a Lonely Soldier. Dear Mies Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am 18 and correspond with a cousin of mine In the army. He Is six years my senior. While on a visit he told me my letters had In terested a friend who Is In the same camp. He asked my cousin If he would please ask me If I would like to correspond with him also. 1 would like to know If It la proper for me to write to him. F. C. This Is an unusual situation, which the war ia making usual. The high commanders have made us all recognize how Important lt la that our soldier lada receive cheerful happy letters from home. Bo lt seems to me that for you to write to your cousin's friend will be a nice little bit of war work. Don't look on this boy as a possible lover or sweetheart. Don't write him love letters Instead adopt him as another cousin or a brother and without telling htm the posi tion you have selected for yourself, wrlte hlm the cheery, friendly letters you would send to some one In your own family. Let mother see your letters and his. Keep the whole thing on a high fine plane, and then enter In. Ordinarily I would tell a girl not to write to a boy, of whom aha knew ao little. But I think each ona of us ought to try to cheer the lonely soldiers and to make them feel that there are loyal friends at home depending on them to be good soldiers! Work! Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: Through misfortune my husband has lost considerable money which he inherited from his father. For the last five years he has had a po sition with a firm In Wall street. He start ed In with flO a week, and for the past two years has been earning 25 a week, My little family consists of four husband and self and two' children. My husband's peopla glva $15 a week toward the upkeep of my children, 1 da the greater part of my laundry work, yet I find lt quite impos sible to get along easily on this stipend. We pay $38 a month rent I cannot manage to get even ordinary apparel for myself. Would you advise going out to earn my own living? t have a profession at which I can earn $25 a week. I really do not know what to do. I am 111 and most un happy. ELOISK. Tours la a problem of economics not love. And yet I suppose that unless the economic condition changed, love will go. Evident ly you are not the "manager" type of woman, and In the process of trying to get along on your $40 a week you are making yourself unhappy and cutting yourself off from being the right sort of wife and mother. Since for from $5 to $J you oan get a maid to do the work you dislike. why not go out and earn the $21 a week, which will probably enable you to work out a far more satisfactory family budget? Work will probably let you find yourself ' again, make you contented and well, and enable you to bring stimulation and In terest to your family. I ra afraid you feel bitter, abused, a drudge. And If you do, lt will react badly on your husband and children. Show him the wisdom of u change the wisdom of your taking up a gainful occupation which you like, Instead of struggling -with your household job for which you do not feel fitted. Don't let htm think he Is a failure or reproach him. Instead, make him see that you believe In him and want to be mora of a help than you are now. , It Wont Do. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I re cently met a young gentleman through flirtation. I was very much Infatuated with his personality, and would Ilka to know how S could further our acquaintance. Tou have put yourself in a dangerous position. Tou say you are Infatuated with this man. Don't see him again, and don't meet any more men In thla way. Tou are throwing yourself away. Tou don't know one thing about the man, except that ro t like his looks. He may ba a very dangerous character. Won't you believe me and guard yourself a little better?

The King Prove a Hero. (Testerday It was told hew reggy -.as called to the far Northland by the King of the Wild Oeese and there asked to aid him in finding his lost love, the Beautiful Stranger.) UTJEFORE I can help you find the D Beautiful Stranger I must know more about her," said Peggy. "Alas! I know so little," sadly an swered the King. "But I will tell you my remarkable story. "Some days ago t do not know how many, for the Sun runs around in such a queer way up here that he's not much good as a timekeeper 1 had wandered from the flock seeking a better feeding field. I had found this pleasant marshy lake where we now are and was scouting around looking the ground over for possible enemies before bringing my people there. The place seemed deserted and saf. "Suddenly the silence was shatter ed by terrorized honks for help. "Instantly I took quick flight, for self-preservation is the first law of the Wild Geese a selfish law of which I do not approve but necessary if our species is to live. As I rose into the air, however, I felt it was cowardly to run away, so I turned back to see if I could give aid. "The honk of distress were com ing from behind a clump of under growth close to the water's edge. As I flew over this clump a fearful sight was disclosed. There strug gling in the dreadful clutches of a cruel Mink was the most beautiful Goose I had ever seen a Blue Goose of a species utterly strange to me. The King paused for a moment, while big tears rolled down his face. "The Beautiful Stranger! Oh, how awful!" sobbed Peggy. " "Yes, it was the Beautiful Stranger," continued the King. "The Mink had evidently surprised her while she was resting. She had taken flight, but was a moment too late. He had leaped and seized her by the web of one foot. As I arrived she was strug gling bravely in an effort to break away, but the Mink held on tight, knowing that in a moment she would be exhausted and then would be easy prey for him. "I knew that to go to her rescue was risking death. I knew, too, the stern, 'heartless law of the Wild Geese 'flee from danger.' All my in stincts told me to save myself and leave the Beautiful Stranger to her fate." "Oh, but you didn't, you didn't!" cried Peggy. "I know you didn't." "No, I didn't," the King smiled sadly. "The minute I saw her I knew that I would willingly die to save her." "I thought fast. I had no weapon that would avail against the teeth and claws of the Mink, but if I could force him to turn to attack me he would let go of the Blue Goose and she would escape. "Honking to her not to give p, I dashed into the face of the Mink, buffeting him with my wings. He was a wise, crafty old Mink, however, and knew her strength was almost gone. To him a Goose in the mouth was better than two in the air, and he tried only the harder to drag her down. "Fired by the terror in the face of the Beautiful Stranger, I made a bolder attack. I went right for the eyes of the Mink with my beak. It gave him a chance at my neck one quick snap meant my death but it was the only way to save my beloved. "He saw me coming and knew what I meant to do. He was ready In an instant. Lettinor eo of the Blue Goose, he struck savagely at me. His sudden move caused me to miss his eyes, but my beak caught him squarely on the nose.

It was just a second's respite, for he instantly leaped at me again. hut all he got was a mouthful of tail feathers. "The Blue Goose mounted high into the air the moment the Mink let go. I found her terribly scared, but not seriously hurt. The web on her foot had been torn a bit, but that would quickly heal. "I had fallen in love with the Beau tiful Stranger the moment 1 saw her in the Mink's power, but now, as she agitatedly thanked me for risking iy life for her, I knew that my life would always belong to her that I had found my true mate.
