Hostesses Ask Guests to
Bring Sugar With Them
"Be sure to bring y.our sugar with
you."
This is the little request tacked onto
the invitations Omaha people have
been receiving from Lincoln friends
who are -offering the hospitality of
their homes during the state fair sea
son. Two pounds of sugar per person
per month is such a tiny little bit to
supply the sweet teeth of the majority
of people. It not only means no
fudge, but very little cake and pie, and
the children simply must not heap
the precious stuff high on their oat
meal; no more "bread and butter and
sugar," but bread and corn syrup in
stead; and even with all these revi
sions in our daily schedule, there is
scarcely enough to sweeten our tea
and coffee and to' make palatable the
fruit our health demands. , -
We cheerfully bear these little pri
vations, feeling glad that we can
'thereby release sugar in plenty for the
boys who are fighting to make, our
homes secure. But when company
corneal Then there is such t flurrying
and scurrying to scrap the bottom
of the little jar that takes the place
of the generous old fashioned sugar
bucket in a vain endeavor to find a
little sugar to sweeten her stay. But
all in Vain.
And this is the reason that Lincoln
hostesses are glad to have their
friends come from Omaha for the
state fair, but they must, insist that
each guest bring the modicum of
sugar the government permits. So be
sure to take a little sack of sugar
with you if you would be a welcome
guest!
So vital is the necessity for carry
ing sugar, that the food department
has been asked to publish a request
that all fair guests come "sweetened."
Judging by London newspapers, the
custom for guests to carry their sugar
supply is of standing since early in the
war period.

Vogues of the Moment in
Omaha Shops
Necessity has joined hands with
fashion and has decreed the popularity
of silk. You may smile when I tell
you that even the genus homo is
to be arrayed in this . fabric, once
deemed only appropriate for the
gentler sex. Yes, the wartime spirit
of "doing things," is making a tre
mendous difference in men's as well
as women's apparel.
Jt was my privilege this week to
meet the famous creator of smart
chapeau, Ora Cne, who is in Omaha
for a few days. Mr. Cne was dressed
in an entire suit of silk. Even that
bifurcated garment commonly known
as "pants," the shirt, the collar, the
tie, all were ofsilkl Perfectly har
monious, too, for they had been one
and all cut from the same bolt of ma
terial; Escorto silk, of such a modest
shade and so masculine looking withal
that no one would ever dream of call
ing a man "Sissy," who appeared up
on our streets thus attired. -
"I will illustrate the advantage of
having each piece of the costume
match," said Mr. Cne, "Supposing one
should enter a restaurant on an in
tensely warm 1 Evening, such as you
have been having in Omaha lately,
and would have the desire to remove
his coat," Here Mr. Cfle removed his,
to show me how very well-dressed
a man may look with the removal
of t the top-most garment, when the
shirt and trousers match in color and
material. He calls this his "New C6n
servation Suit for Men," and he has
in his wardrobe several other, suits
of silk and wool-fibre fabrics. One
very swagger" summer suit is made
of heavy Shantung in natural color,
and with this he even . has a cap to
match.
When Coolness
Registers Charm
By GERTRUDE BERESFORD.
AFTER all a girl who looks cool
goes a long way toward being
charming. We feel so grateful for the
sight of crisp grooming, that women
as well as men. surrender to the
charm of her refreshing appearance.
Organdie in a delicious shade of pink
claims immediate attention in this
frock, which depends for individuality
on checkerboard tucks, allied with
dainty ruffles of "Val." lace on cuffs,
collar and vestee. A deeper pink rib
bon girdle, ending in a butterfly bow,
without wings, makes an effective
note of color. .The tucked insertions
in the straight gathered skirt are let in
with larger tucks running round the
skirt A picturesque hat, whose brim
of organdie flares from a crown of
straw, is altogether lovely. A black
velvet ribbon and a bunch of shaded
pink rosebuds complete a costume
which is bound to "register charm"
on a youthful wearer.

Is regulated by the War Induetriea Board at
Washington as to the raw materials which
the Red Croes shall have. There Is a short
age of raw materials, on account or
which the quotas that have been Issued dur
ing the past few months are very small
and In most cases much less than the
amount that the various organizations to
which they are issued are capable of pro
ducing. In view of this fact the patriotic
women of this state should not be criticised
for their apparent lack of activity, when
they have not been called upon for emer
gency work. We hope shortly that ar
rangements will be mads whereby a greater
amount of material - can be secured and
women In this state will be placed In a po
sition to produce the maximum of their
capacity.

The Shadow in the Ocean.
THE OCEAN looked very large

One of World's Greatest Business
Women Once Arrested as Fire Bug
Is woman capable of directing "big
business?" Well, by way of answer,
England has a woman, and a young
woman at that, who is the active
manager of a concern employing up
wards of J0,000 men and a director
in some thirty or more other huge
enterprises, industrial and financial.
This remarkable wo ian, whose
right to the title of the world's great
est business woman is not to be dis
puted, is Lady Mackworth, the only
child of Baron Rhondda, the "Welsh
coal king" and British food control
ler, who has just passed away. Dur
ing the lifetime of her father Lady
Mackworth was his business partner.
With his death she has come into
complete Control of the great corpo
rations of which he was the head.
That she will be able to "hold down
the job," none doubts who knows her.
Arrested.
Lady Mackworth first came into
prominence as a business woman dur
ing tha early part of the war. At that
time her father was sent to the United
States and Canada to buy munitions
of war for Great Britain. Previous
to that time Lady Mackworth had
been known to the public chiefly as a
rabid suffragist, advocating the break
ing of windows and getting herself
arrested for setting fire to a public
letter box, preferring to go to prison
rather than pay a fine.
With her entry into the business
would Lady Mackworth found a new
vent for her activities. Although still
a firm believer in the rights of women
to the ballot she no longer took active
part in the "militant campaign." When
her father embarked for America she
took charge of his great financial in
terests. At Cambrian Buildings in
Cardiff, the offices of the Cambrian
Coal Combine, which practically .con
trols the whole Welsh coal field, the
daughter occupied her father's office,
received a,nd answered all lst.ers ad
dressed to him and helped to make
momentous decisions in relation to
the miners which at that time were
seriously affecting Great Britain's war
plans.
, All of the demands of the striking
Welsh miners came to Lady Mack
worth for consideration, and Mr,
Lloyd George, in attempting con
ciliation, could have accomplished
little wijhout Lady Mackworth's co
operation. Success Came.
The success with which she dis
posed of the big problems that came
before her during those few moment
pus months showed Lady Mackworth
as Britain's rfiost capable business
woman. After her father's return to
England she was given even greater
business responsibilities. In the course
of a short time she found herself a
director of no fewer than twenty
seven big corporations having to do
with the mining, industrial, transpor
tation and financial interests of the

MIGHTY WHIZ ARMY
A complete,
beginning
sped toward the open ocean. Peggy
wondered how far out it would dare
to go.
Suddenly the seaplane took a sharp
dive downward. Lieptenant Young
gave a signal to Ensign Ward, who
quickly put his hand to the trigger of
his bombing apparatus. Peggy, all
excitement, looked over the edge of
the machine. She saw what had
caught Lieutenant Young's eye. It
was a long, dark shape in the water.
"A submarine," thought Peggy.
Right over the black shape darted
the airplane, and Ensign Ward wait
ed tensely to release his bomb. Just
as his fiingers tightened on the trig
ger, the dark shape rose to the sur
face. Instead of a periscope appear
ing, however, a stream of water shot
high in the air.
Peggy was puzzled for a moment.
Then quickly she understood, The
dark shape wasn't a submarine at all.
Itjwas a whale, and the whale had
spouted the water into the air when
it came up to breathe.
Away off on the horizon was a
smudge of black smoke. The sea
plane raced toward :t, and soon
Peggy could make . out steamers a
whole fleet of them. Ensign Ward
turned around and Pfsrgy saw his
hps frame the word "Transports!"
Peggy was all keyed tip now. Our
soldiers on the way to France! And
she was going to see them. Scarcely
kingdom. The government recog
ized her administrative abilities by ap
pointing her chjef controller of
Women's National Service Ministry,
the chief clearing-house for women's
wartime work.
With her father Lady Mackworth
embarked from the United States on
the last voyage of the ill-fated Lusi
tania, having a thrilling experience in
the rescue. Her rescuer was a Mr.
Thomas Dooley of Liverpool, whom
Loril Rl.ondda rewarded with a mag
nificent gold watch, on which was in
scribed "Remember the Lusitania."
There promises to be a surfeit of
women taxicab drivers in Uniontown,
Pa., since Mrs. Wesley Wood, the
pioneer in that line, made $46 in fares
and tips during her first day's work.
Another evidence of the shortage
of manpower is likely to be manifested
soon in the substitution of maids for
Pullman car porters.

realizing what she was doing, Peggy
began to hum a little song that just
Duonied right out of her head.
"O brave young boys ot Unola Sam.

You're bound to wreck the cruel Huns."

Chancing to look behind at the
string of ships, Peggy saw a ripple
break the surface of the water a short
distance away. Up through the ripple
came a 'queer round post.
"A periscope!" though Peggy. "A
German submarine is waiting right in
the track of the transports!"
There was not a moment to lose.
The officers, looking ahead into the
glitter of the sea, hadn't seen the
danger. She reached over and pinch
ed Lieutenant Young on the arm. His
leather coat was so thick and she was
so small it was hard to make the
pinch felt. But she was desperate and
she squeezed with all her strenstth.
Lieutenant Young felt her and turned
his head. His trained eye caught the
ripple in the water and in another in
stant the seaplane tipped sharply as
the officer brought it swiftly around.
