management of the Prairies club of
Chicago, has been filmed and appears
in the weekly "Screen Telegram."
The picture was shown in Omaha

Screen just as they did on that glor

Lunch Carts For
Government Workers
In Washington
Government bureaus in Washington
are to establish lunch-cart service for
their young women workers.
Several weeks ago, the girls' sec
tion of the district war camp com
munity service, with the help of the
Girls' Friendly society of Washington,
instituted such service for the young
women war workers unable to obtain
luncheons in the overcrowded restau
rants without sacrificing their oppor
tunities for rest and recreation. These
lunch carts have proved successful,
and they have been popular with the
men in uniform. Several bureaus
have agreed to provide equipment and
noontime helpers, if the district war
camp community service will man
age the lunches and operate the trucks
at points convenient to their offices.
Michigan's next legislature is to
be asked to enact a law that will
place a limit on the amount of ma

can be asked to lift while at work in
the shop or factory.
Mrs. Harry Park has been elected
vice president of the insurance under

in succession to her husband, who re

Advice to
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
A Joke?
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am a
young woman 28 years of age and have not
had an opportunity to have any male ad
mirers. Recently at an Epworth League
plcnle I met a young man 19 year of age,
who fell madly In love with me. While t
lov him dearly I know we could not be
happily married and that I must give him
up. Last week he sent me a horned toad.
Shall I compromise myself and keep It, or
must I return It. I have become very
much attached to It and have grown to
looking forward to seeing It when I return
from work. Must I gfve this up too, for.
I realize all must end. He say he can't
live without me. What shall I do?
BROKEN HEARTED.
I think you are trying to have a little fun
with me. Keep the toad by all means an
the young man too.
Certainly Not.
Dear Miss Fairfax. Omaha Bee: Do yon

Most certainly I should not tack a algn

I can see no objection because their Ideas,

Shocking Hours for Girls to Keep. '
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: Being
the mother of the girl In question causes
me to ask your advice. I can assure you
the favor will be highly appreciated.
Girls A and B are very Intimate friends;
both these girls feel that going out three
times a week and not returning home until
2 o'clock Is nothing detrimental to their
reputations. I, being the mother of A, feel
and am sure that if my daughter were not
going out with B she would be home earl
ier. My daughter, who Is 20, tries to convlnca
me that B is In no way responsible for her
conduct namely, her staying out late, al
though A and B are always out together.
A MOTHER.
I do not wonder at your anxiety In regard
to a daughter of 20 who remains out till 1
o'clock in the morning several times a week.
A girl who keeps such hours cannot hope
to keep her reputation, and whether the
other girl is or Is not responsible for such
reckless disregard for appearances, It Is un
fortunate that she should have aueli a
friend. Can you not get your daughter
Interested In something more wholesome
and normal for a girl of her age than such
unconventional hours? Why not try grad
ually to wean her away from Hie other girl;
surely there must be some other friends
who would have a greater regard for ap
pearances and not be so harmful to your
daughter's future chances In llfet
A Very Personal Matter.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: A, B, t
and D are four girl friends of 18, and would
like to know whether it Is proper for them
to go to the seashore Saturday afternoons
and stay till Sunday evening during the
summer months, In a room which they have
rented for the summer.
A's mother agreed Immediately, and B's
mother, after considering with A's mother
but C's and D's mothers refuse permission
without any consideration whatever on their
part, saying that young girls should not stay
away from home over night.
Now, Miss Fairfax, as they found out that
the house in which they are going to atay
Is kept by a refined married woman, they .
would like to know your opinion in this mat
ter, as C and D feel very bad to think that
their mothers do not trust them, and yet
they have never done anything against their
parents' wishes.
A FRIEND TO A, B, C AND D.
A great many parents do not like to have
their young daughters staying away from
homo over night That really doos not
mean a lack of trust, but rather a desire
to protest. Which l -a very different mat
ter, my dearl If the parents of two of
these girls do not want them to go away
from home and remain over night, why
can't the girls sacrifice their Saturday after
noons and start out early Sunday morning T
Of course, there Is no harm tn the Idea, If
everyone concerned Is well acquainted with
the woman In whose house the girls are
going to stay. If the parents meet her,
like her and give her a certain amount of
authority over the girls, then she becomes
a sort of guardian or chaperon. Other
wise, the girls are really quite without pro
tection against undesirable acquaintances-
or the sort of gossip which unkind people
are all too ready to Indulge In when young
girls go about unchaperoned. Even I, who
mean to be very broad-minded, don't like
the Idea unless the parents know and ap
prove of the woman? in whose house the
girls are staying. Were I the mother of O
or D, I should meet her perhaps go down
with my girls over one week-end and then
come to my decision.

Miss Beatrice Fairfax, Omaha Bee Dear
Miss Fairfax: Thinking your advice so
splendid, thought I would come to you for
advice concerning myself. I am only 18 and
am very good looking, have dark eyes and
hair, my hair Is long and thick; how could
I arrange It In becoming way? Now
what I really wanted to know Is this. I
am feet tall. Is that too tall to be
ashamed of? So many of my girl friends
make fun of my height, especially In a
crowd when boys are around. Boys seem
to take a liking to me very quick, and is
there anything to make fun of when .h
boy Is about 6 Inches smaller than the girl?
I believe I could have still more boy friends
If It wasn't for my height. Or do you think
it Is pure Jealousy of my girls friends for
acting this way in a crowd? Please in.

Daily Bee. Thanking you, "VIRGINIA."
P. S. On what hand should a girl wear
a diamond ring when it Is not an engage
ment ring?
A soft pompadour is becoming to most
girls with a knot very low on the neck. Or,
try parting your hair on the side If that is
more becoming. Tou are very tall for worn?
age, but I would not lc It worry me. Try to
choose dresses and suits that will not accen

A diamond ring should be worn on the

lato Hoars.
My Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
am a young girl who has been reading youf
advice to Lovelorn for some time and t
wish to ask your advice on a question which
has also been troubling me for some time.
I have been keeping company with a
young man who works at the depot He Is
a perfect gentleman and Is a friend to all
the boys tn our town. In the evening It Is
almost Impossible for him to get away from
work until a certain train comes, which Is
about 10 o'clock. Now what I wish to know
Is it all right for me to go to the depot and
wait for that train on certain occasions f
I never go except when he tells me to, and
then a girl friend of mine always accom
panies me. He Is very particular about my
reputation, but he thinks It is all right for
me to do this on certain occasions. Please
answer this at once In The Bee.
ANXIOUS.
Don't go to the depot to wait for your
friend. Even though a girl friend accom.
panics you It does not look well for young
girls to be at a depot late In the evening.
It la unfortunate that this young man can
not get away earlier, but I firmly bellei
that he will think more of you If he
you at your horns.
