' A delicious dinner was served at
Happy Hollow club the other eve

by a demi tasse. Each tiny cup of
the aromatic drink was accompanied
by a war-time allotment of sugar.
A mere man who was a member of
one gay little party, suddenly no
ticed suspicious movements on the
part of some of the women. They
seemed to be wrapping things in
their handkerchiefs, while others
were handling their bags in the same
manner. His curiosity was aroused
and, glancing at the coffee cups about
the table, he discovered that those
belonging to the feminine members
of the party were untouched. He
could stand the strain no longer and
he inquired just what was the reason
of the abstinence.
Imagine the poor man's horror
when the guests informed him that
they were taking their allotment of
sugar home! Please page Mr

ACTING as assistant superinten
dent of public instruction of
Omaha might be supposed to
be enough of a job to keep one wo
man busy, but the discovery has been
made that Miss Belle Ryan, in addi
tion to holding this important posi
tion, is also sole proprietor and man
ager of an apartment house. Not an
ordinary apartment house, but a 'way
up affair.
; This building contains eight
separate apartments in which there
is seldom a vacancy. The tenants
have made it a custom to winter in
the south, at which time the apart
ments are empty, but they return
each spring, and if there is a vacancy
through death or other cause, these
loyal apartment house dwellers
promptly notify friends and relatives,
who take possession of the vacant
suite.-
All Miss Ryan's tenants are related,
belonging to the family of Purple
Martins, a branch of the great and
justly famous Swallow family. The
apartment house is a frame struc
ture, securely fastened to the sill of
a window in Miss Ryan's office on
the fifth floor of the city hall.
Pigeon Attacks.
Every day Miss Ryan places food
and water "for drinking and bathing
in front of the house. Occasionally
a pigeon makes the mistake of think
ing these attentions are meant for
him, but he soon finds out his error,
as the Purple Martin tribe pounce
on him and drive him away with a
Quaker Gray Makes
Quaint Gown
By GERTRUDE BERESFORD
Q
UAKER women have always had
a "say-so" in and out of meet
ing. Who knows but what a
wise little Quaker maiden influenced
the choice of gray as Iheir garb. What
is lovier after all than the simplicity
of gray? Gray voile developes this
model, which is recommended for both
utility and charm. This frock is sure
to be becoming to the girl of any
coloring, blue eyes, brown eyes or
gray. This model is easy to make, re
quires no trimming except knife pleat
ing, and possibly a gray satin girdle.
Voile in a very good quality can be
bought for 35 cents the yard. The drop
skirt may be accordian pleated or
plain. This gown will not soil or
muss easily, and is altogether an
economic war time garment
great fluttering of wings and flashing
of sharp claws and bright eyes.
"I consider it a great honor to have
these birds make their home in my
bird house," said Miss Ryan. "They
are very particular as to where they
locate their homes, though I do not
know just what are the requisites. A
friend of mine placed a martin house
on her lawn, with trees and fountain
near it and everything else a bird
could want, and introduced a martin
family into it, but they refused to
stay, yet here they remain year after
year in this alley.'
Their Babies.
There is now a family of little ones
just learning to fly. They creep out
of the door and timidly perch on the
sill until their parents, flying anxious
ly around them- finally persuade them
to try their wings, when, to the ap
parent surprise of the youngsters,
these untried wings bear them safely
up and they swoop down to the pave
ment below in long, graceful curves.
There is another little family just
hatched, and one can see their shiny
eyes peering out at the strange world
into which they have not yet ven
tured. .
Miss Ryan's tenants are a beautiful
rich purple in color, shading to black
at wing points and tail. The females
wear a white apron and are a little
duller in color than their husbands.
Like the other members of the swal
low faimly, martins Catch their food
on the wing and live entirely upon in
sects. "One day," said Miss Ryan, "one
of the birds came to feed the little
ones, bringing an immense devil's
darning needle, "but the babies ate
it in a short time. They must travel
far for their food, as this is a water
insect."
Martins Pay Rent
In payment for their apartments
the martins furnish not only amuse
ment but floods of beautiful and
cheerful song. They have voices
much like pleasant laughter, and their
mellow notes may be heard at almost
any time of day, echoing between the
gray walls of city hall and Bee build
ing. The purple martin is one of the
best fighters in the bird tribe, not
hesitating before he attacks a hawk
or crow, but he has one enemy that
has made him almost unknown among
the birds of the east, that enemy is
the little sparrow. The sparrow
steals the martin's home and general
ly annoys him, and usually where
sparrows increase the- martins will
leave. For some reason or other the
sparrows have not stolen the apart
ments in Miss Ryan's bird house.
Possibly the many visitors the mar
tins have frightened the sparrows
away, but the martins do not mind
them. Many of the bird lovers of
Omaha visit Miss Ryan's office and
sit for hours near the window watch
ing the comedies and tragedies of
bird life that are played out before
them. The martins do not mind these
visitors at all, but go on with their
home keeping and baby, raising af
fairs as calmly as if no one were pres
ent. A campaign for the enrollment of
graduate nurses began Monday morn
ing. These nurses are enlisting for
the period of the war with the Red
Cross.

Soldiers and Marriage
Is Topic for Numerous
Discussions In War Time
Much discussion is going on as to
whether .marriages should be encour
aged with men about to enter mili
tary service, and whether such mar
riages should be contracted by wo
men, who know that these men will
shortly depart for the battle front.
We believe that no woman has a
right to contract a marriage unless
she is fully capable of earning her
livelihood and providing for offspring,
in case the husband does not return.
It is far from patriotic for a woman
to assume marriage obligations when
she knows that not only will she not
have the money to provide for her
offspring, but may at the same time
be unable to make ends meet in car
ing for herself.
What sort of children can one bring
up under such conditions? It is
much more desirable to have fewer
people than to have them living in
want, which forces them to crime
and makes them susceptible to dis
ease. Assuming that the woman will be
able to discharge her obligations to
her children and herself, it then be
comes a question of whether the
marriage is based upon a beautiful at
tachment and sincere friendship, or
whether it is simply the lure of the
uniform. Let the woman honestly
decide whether she loves the man
sufficiently to nurse and comfort him
should he return maimed or wounded.
If she can, then by all means let the
marriage take place. If not, she is
simply one more of those who assume
the marriage bond without the right
understanding of its sacredness and
obligations, and later on make life
miserable for themselves . and those
nearest and dearest to them. Edito

Peggy Meets Balky Sam.

BBEN AND BILL stared at Peggy

of their heads,
heads.
"Well," said Bill finally, "you're
just as sweet as we thought you'd
be."
"And I'm glad you've got freckles,"
added Ben, after giving her a long
look.
"I have only a few," protested Peg-
gy.
'That's enough," responded Ben.
"They prove you're a real person."
"What's the' matter with your
mule?" asked Peggy, changing the
subject, for, like a modest little girl,
she didn't like to talk about herself.
:"Oh,- Balky Sam is all the time sit
ting down to rest," exclaimed Bill.
"And he always does it just when we
are in a hurry. He's the"
Peggy interrupted quickly. She'd
heard that soldiers sometimes used
strong language when arguing with
their mules. She didn't want Bill to
say anything he shouldn't.
"Remember there is a lady pres
ent," she warned him. 'The Giant of
the Woods says the best way to keep
from swearing is to fill your mouth so
full of big words there isn't any room
for swears."
'Thank you, Miss Good Fairy," an
swered Bill. "Hereafter I'll just call
him a cantankerous cudgermudgeon
and let it go at that."
Balky Sam looked around at Peggy
and gave her a sly wink. It was so
funny she had to giggle.
"Seems as though we are always
meeting you when we need help," said
Ben to Peggy.
"Are you in trouble?"
"Not exactly trouble," answered
Ben. "It's just a matter of disap
pointing a lot of the soldier boys who
are about to start to France. We
wanted to send them off with a laugh
and now we can't do it."
"How were you going to make them
laugh?" asked Peggy, a bit puzzled.
"The recreation director had en
gaged an animal circus to come and
amuse 'em," explained Ben. "You
know what I mean one of those
vaudeville shows with ponies, dogs,
monkeys and the like. Bill and I
were sent to town with the mule team
to get the baggage. At the depot we
found that the train carrying the .cir
cus had been wrecked, smashing up
the outfit so it will be a week before
it will be ready to show here. By
that time thousands of the boys will
be on the way to France."
"Isn't that a city!" exclaimed Peg
gy. "I wish there were something I
ooutd do. '
"Princess Peggy, aren't you coming
back to us?" chorused the birds.
Peggy looked up. There they were,
perched oh the roof of the house,
looking anxiously down.
"What a funny looking lot of
birds 1" laughed Bill. "Have you a
menagerie of your own, Miss Good
Fairy?" "- ' "
Tha question gave Peggy an idea.
The birds certainly did look comical,
particularly Blue Heron, with his
long legs, and Judge Owl, solemnly
blinking down at her. Why couldn't
they give a show? They knew more
than any birds she had ever seen on.
the stage. And in making the de
parting soldiers laugh they would be
doing a service for Uncle Sam.
"My birds," she cried, stretching
up her arms to them, "how would
you like to be in a show?"
"No, thank you, we don't want to
be prisoners I" chorused the birds. - .
"I don't mean that way," Peggy
quickly reassured them. "I mean give
a show of your own free will for the
soldiers. It will be lots of fun." '
"Fun! That's what we are here
for," hooted Judge Owl.
Fun la tha spice of life
It drives out pain and strife
It cuts cars Ilk a knife
And make men brave and blithe."
"Will you be in it, Princess Peg-,
gy?" asked General Swallow.
"Yes, I'll be your trainer and tell
you what to do," promised Peggy en
thusiastically. "Then we'll all be in your show,"
chorused the birds.
Ben and Bill had been watching
Peggy and the birds with keen in
terest. They didn't know what was
being said, but they did know that
Peggy was able to talk to the birds,
and it was .amusing to see the way
they answered.
"My birds will take the place of
your animal circus," Peggy told the
soldiers.
"Fme!H cried Bill. "I felt in my
bones that you would come to the
rescue. Miss Good Fairy."
"Where's your baggage?" added
Ben. "We'll load it aboard and hike
for the cap in a hurry. It's near
time to begin."
Pegs thought rapidly. She would
need costumes for the birds and some
apparatus on which they could per
form. ; Her doll's trunk would supply
the costumes and she had toys that
would serve as aooaratus. She ran
quickly into the house and gathered
up the toys and the trunk. For her
own stage costume she selected a
pretty tinseled frock she had worn
at a fancy dress dancing party.
Ben and Bill laughed at her bag
gage, but loaded it on the big army
wagon, where it seemed almost lost.
They invited the Birds to ride, but all
declined except Judge Owl and Blue
Heron, for whom flying was not all
fun.
Soon they were ready to start. But
there was Balky Sam, still sitting in
the middle of the street as comfort
able as you please, and not showing
a sign of movinar.
"Well, what do you think of that
cantankerous cudgermudgeon? ex
claimed Bill. , ,

wagon, ran to the backyard where
there was a particularly nice patch
of long grass, and pulled two big
handfuls. She gave one handful to

it with great relish. Balky Sam

For many yean while I was perfecting my
