Would You Have Thought
It Possible a Few Years
Ago? No, You Would Not
The busy world of work is calling
so many of our girls and it is inter
esting to note how many different
avenues of occupation are open to
these young women. The click of
the typewriters call many, the quiet
recesses of our public libraries find
other of our young girls learning the
mysteries of "cataloging" and refer
ence work, not to mention the in
numerable branches of war work
, where our young patriots find labor
for heart and hand.
w Training young minds is most fas
J,.cinating and absorbing, and ' these
i summer days several Omaha maids
are far away in educational camps
acting as counsellors. Miss Helen
Garvin is one of the most proficient
vXampfire counsellors in the city and
,'her work among the younar tirls has
ti been very remarkable. Miss Garvin
'Is now at the girls' summer camp at
. Fish Creek, Wisconsin, where she is
a counsellor and instructor in dra-
' matics.
4 She is coaching some of the
younger girls at the camp in a de
lightful fairy play, "The Enchanted
..Garden," which will be presented
rvery soon. At the close of the sea
? ion another play will be given on a
larger scale. Camp Neemahga is
beautifully situated near Green Bay,
Sand the 70 girls who compose the
little colony are learning new and
mvaiuaoie lessons trom the open book

This is Miss Garvin's second vcar
J at th camp and she has won a place
via the hearts of the young girls both

viable, indeed. Miss Garvin spent
fmuch time at Camp Brewster with a
group of Campfire girls last summer.

han interested in this line of work

August at Camp Aloha, South Fair
Lee, Vermont This is Miss Allen's

I WOMAM'S COUNCIL
NATIONAL DEFENSE
Wanted 25,000 Women.
The government is calling for 25,
000 young women to join the United
States student nurse reserve and hold
themselves in readiness to train for
service as nurses.
Only those who have taken the full
training course are eligible for serv
ice with our forces overseas. Every
young woman who enrolls in the
United States student nurse reserve
is releasing a nurse for service at the
front and swelling the ho, am
which we must rely on to act as our
second line of hospital defe.
Age The call is for women be
tween the ages of 19 and 35
Qualifications Intelligent, respon
sible women of good education and
sound health are wanted, the picL f
the country. A college education is
valuable asset, and many 1 i.'j
will give credit for it. Credit will
also be given for a special scientific
equipment or for preliminary train
ing in nursing.
Enrollment Women will be given
an opportunity to enroll in the Uni.-J
States student nurse reserve In any
one of three ways.
1. As engaging to hold themselves
in readiness until April 1, 1919,. to
accept assignments to nurses' training
schools. These women will be sent
to the schools as fast as vacancies
occuV. Those of superior qualifica
tions will be given preference, and it
is, of course, possible that not every
one who enrolls will be accepted.
2. As desiring desiring to become
candidate for the Army School of
Nursing, recently established by au
thority of the War department, with
branch schools in selected military
hospitals.
3. As engaging to hold themselves
in readiness until April 1, 1919, to
accept assignments to either a civilian
training school or the Army School
of Nursing. Those who so enroll
will be called where the first need
arises. The government hopes that
a majority of those who enroll will
thus put down their names for both.

ASS1MULATI0N
My Hat Diary
-BY-
Carita Herzog
mt
Jane Worth just called me up.
My I was so surprised to hear
her voice. She -has been gone
for almost two weeks on a motor
trip. Her brother has a stunning
new Marmon car and he wanted
to try it out so he took his sister
and they motored to Denver.
She said she was coming over
to tell me all about it as soon
as she got rested up a bit, but
she said she couldn't think of
coming over until tomorrow. I
wanted her to come right away
but she said that I would tell
her that she looked like a dis
aster going somewhere to hap
pen and she said she didn't care
about being so cruelly talked to.,
so I guess I will have to wait un
til tomorrow to hear about her
marvelous time. I remember the
day she left, she came over to
tell me goodby and she looked
too sweet for words. She had the
dearest little motoring bonnet.
It was a "mushroom shape" with
soft crown. The material was
blue gingham plaid and was
faced with "double white or
gandy." A narrow blue velvet
band tied undi. the chin fasten
ing the dainty bow on the right
side of the brim. Jane made it
herself and told me it only cost
73 cents. She only used a yard
of gingham and a half yard of
organdy and she had the velvet
ribbon last winter on an evening
gown. It's wonderful to be
handy with the needle.
FLICKS OF FASHION
Vogues of the Moment in
Omaha Shops
Hats are always the first heralds of
an approaching season, and now we
have begun to hear from them what
will happen in the fall and winter.
It may sound like a magician's
trick, but a hat performs wizard-like
changes to a plain tilored suit. You
can see how this works out. With a
street hat of severe lines, and little, or
no trimming excepting a band of rib
bon, it becomes a morning costume.
Worn with a chapeau of wistaria vel
vet and beaver cloth, such as I saw
in one of our newest and smartest
hat shops, milady may trip forth to
the matinee, or tea dansant with the
perfect assurance that she is becom
ingly and correctly gowned, while a
still greater metamorphosis may take
place put on her head a Lyons vel
vet hat of the picturesque Gains
borough type, beautifully trimmed
with ostrich presto I an attire for
the theater, or an evening dinner at
the Fontenelle or Blackstone. It all
depends on the hat! The changes be
ing rung by having as many as one's
pocketbook or one's mood will allow.
There is a decided change in hats
this fall; shapes are different from last
season; colors are more subdued and
never have materials been of such
richness and elegance.
I was shown some imported silks
the other day from the Paris house of
Worth, which were to be converted
into hat decorations. You may get
an idea of their super elegance when
I tell you that the milliner who
bought these actually paid as much as
$30 and $40. a yard for them. They
were of the kind of silk which in our
great grandmother's time used to be
said would "stand alone," so heavy
was the quality. Some of these silks
were very handsomely embroidered
in gold threads, while others were
of the rich colorings we see in Per
sian rugs and hangings.
The war is responsible for a very
stunning hat, noted on my visit to the
before-mentioned hat shop. It is the
Italian helmet hat a turban-like af
fair of black velvet with oxydized
trimmings.
Another very chic model is of seal
brown velvet; the small brim faced
with self-toned beaver cloth, and
small diamond-shaped p't.ces of beav
er trimming the crown, two turkey
quills and a jaunty stick-up of beaver
add a saucy, piquant air to the up
turned tilt in the back.

2Lhm THE BEST
Sin Brings Its Own Penistaiient But
Even Mae Alice May Ceme Back
By RUTH BAILEY WHITNEY.
REST and the "peace that passeth
all understanding" have come to
one poor little sailor on the
stormy seas of life. A safe harbor is
reached, where a new compass and a
trustworthy pilot for future voyages
are provided.
Time was when no one thought lit
tle rosy cheeked, black eyed Mae
Alice, petted baby of a loving mother
and a devoted father, would be look
ing the world over for a friend. There
were friends in plenty then. School
teachers loved Mae Alice and praised
her gentle disposition and her pretty
ways. The minister patted her glossy
black head and pointed her out to the
unruly little girls as a model of de
portment. Almost the first words she
lisped were the hymns learned at Sun
day school.
When Mae Alice was IS the super
intendent of the Sunday school asked
her (o teach a class of little girls.
"Her . example is a lesson to them,"
he explained when told she was young
for an instructor.
The children loved Mae Alice, who
taught them the beautiful stories from
the Bible and counseled them wisely,
like one much older than her years.
"Spirited" Companions.
There were some older girls in the
neighborhood. Girls not so good and
sweet as little Mae Alice, but more
"spirited," as they said. They pitied
Mae Alice. "Life must be so stupid
for her," they said, "we will show her
a good time for once." So they asked
her to go with them, one evening, to
town. "We are just going to a pic
ture show and will bring you back
early," they said.
But they didn't go to a picture
show. They went to a public dance
instead. Little Mae Alice couldn't
dance and watched the crowd in won
derment, marveling at their strange
evolutions. She was not a wall flower
long. A flock of young men and boys
crowded around the pretty little girl
with the big, wondering black eyes
and begged for the privilege of teach
ing her to dance. Mae Alice found
that it was lots of fun. Her con
science hurt her, for she knew her
mother wouldn't like it, but after all,
wasn't mother pretty particular, for
what was the harm in these nice, jolly
sins and bovs?
Perhaps there was no harm in the
fun, but when Mae Alice reached
home she told her mother the first lie
she had ever told. She didn't dare to
confess she had not attended a pic
ture show.
Other dances followed. The danc
ing was fun and th admiration of the
young men intoxicated her. Especially
of one tall, charming fellow in a uni
form. Innocent herself, Mae Alice did
not know that a large part of her
soldier boy's charm was the result of
experience. Her country's uniform
seemed to vouch for him. She did
not know that even the fires of sacri
fice to freedom do not always purge
the sinner of his evil ways.
Just a Dinner.
A little dinner was arranged one
evening at a questionable "restaurant."
There were eight in the party, and
the soldier boy's devotion was so pro
nounced that it went to the head of
his pretty little companion. Some
thing else went to her head, too, but
she did not realize what that some
thing was, until the music seemed to
be singing in her ears and a sweet,
drowsy happiness overcame her. Only
half conscious of what was going on
about her, she heard the name of a
hotel mentioned. ,
The next mornine found her at the
home of one of the girls. As she lay
drowsily coming to a realization of a
headache, she felt another ache steal
ing over her. A heartache and a feel
ing of desolation awoke her to a full
realization of the course she had been
steering and the port she had reached.
She felt lost to the world, her world
of good friends, of Sunday school and
little, innocent children looking to her
for help and guidance. Sobs broke

from her and her fragile body shook
with a storm of grief.
The other girls ran to her and com
forted her. They kissed her and pet
ted her and laughed at her. "Why
there is nothing to feel badly over,"
they laughed. "All the girls do that."
Finally they" convinced her. Lying
was easy by now, and Mae Alice was
helped to concoct a little story about
a friend, ill and friendless, to whom
her presence brought a ray of sun
shine. The story passed with her
goodhearted mother and her busy
father, and night after night she
stayed away from home.
Sometimes she stayed at the home
of one of the girls, whose mother was
quite a different woman from Mae
Alice s mother, and who looked com
placently on the late hours and lack
of chaperonage which brought silver
and crackling new bills to her itching
paims.
Then one night came the police.
The woman's house was raided and
Mae Alice was caught in the net. A
doctor was called and Mae Alice was
sent to the municipal detention home
for women who have become a men
ace to the community. Then her
mother had to be told. Poor mother!
Poor father! Their only child had
brought shame to them. That was
the hardest blow for little Mae Alice,
but she thought of that too late.
Mae Alice was only 16 years old,
not "sweet sixteen," but sixteen,
crowned with sorrow and grief. The
juvenile authorities felt that Mae
Alice should not be in the detention
home among the older and hardened
women hers and wanted her sent to
Geneva, to the girls' industrial home.
Dr. Jennie Calltas came and , led with
her to go willingly, but Mae Alice
had heard terrible stories about Gene

va and the unkind treatment accorded ,
the poor girls who went there. So
had her parents, who. true to their
unfortunate child, fought for her to
the last They hired a lawyer who
used every argument to keep the child ,
out of the industrial home. '
A menace to the community, Mae
Alice was finally torn from her weep
ing mother and sent away.
The house of torment to which
Mae Alice had looked with terror
proved to be a haven of rest and '
comfort. Kindly people treated her,
not like an 'outcast, but like the
frightened child she felt There was
work to do, but not too much. There
were good times, too, and always ?
someone to tell her troubles to.
Last week Dr. Callfas received this
letter from little Mae Alice:
"I found I made a big mistake in
my judgment of this place. It is s '
pleasant place and we girls have
plenty of spare time. How are the
girls in the home, and did they have
good time the Fourth? We had a
lovely time, and I only wish you had
been here. If you ever have time.
Dr. Callfas; I wish you would come
out here. It is nothing like vou and
I thought. I am very happy. I was
just a little homesick on the Fourth,
as it is the first Fourth I have ever
spent away from home. I hope yon
will have time to answer my letter, t
Probably I will have time to writ ;
you often, and anyway, I think-of
you often. Remember me in. your
prayers. I am trying to be a goodf
girl. Lots of love and kisses."
"I am so glad she is happy there,"
said Dr. Callfas. "We must keep her
there in justice to others until she is
entirely cured, but I want other girls
who have been tempted beyond their
powers and who have met the same
punishment to know that the home at
Geneva is not a place of punishment,
but a haven of rest The sin brings
its own punishment, and Geneva is a
refuge and a hope of future happi
ness. '

How You Can Make
Hairs Quickly Disappear
(Helps to Beauty)
Even a stubborn growth of hair will
quickly vanish from the face, neck or
arms after a single treatment with
delatone. To remove the hairs, make
a stiff paste with a little powdered
delatone and water, apply to hairy
surface and after about 2 minutes rub
off, wash the skin and it will be left
free from hair or blemish. To avoid
disappointment, be quite certain you
get real delatone. Adv. ,
