At Rockford, where the camp is located on Black Hawk's old camping ground, Miss Range saw a statue of the famous In dian chief which one of the soldiers had made from paper.

Girls of the Toan of Arc club pre sented soldier boys of Florence field with a victrola, and the hostesses of the club donated 38 records.

IMPROVED SPELLING A Chicago man was walking through a foreign quarter in his city when, with an amused smile, he stop ped in front of a small eating place, on the window of which was painted in white, "Lam Stew." Now the proprietor happened to be standing in the doorway, and when he saw the smile of the gentleman who stopped in front of his place, he asked to be favored with an explana tion of the joke. Whereupon1 the other explained about the missing "b" in "lamb," and the proprietor accepted the correction in good part, at the same time ex pressing his thanks. When next the Chicago man passed that restaurant he found that the menu had been, changed, but that the lesson in orthography had not been forgotten. The proprietor was now offering "Clamb Chowder."

This fabric is used for everything, from bathing suits to dinner gowns. Paris recently sent over a wonderful dinner gown of turquoise blue jersey cloth embroidered in touches of silver. When coal is as precious as jewels, wool jersey is more to be desired than riches. Even riches cannot always buy warrrith these days. However, this model of seal brown jersey is design ed for breakfast, dinner and supper. it takes its line trom the chemise dress. The front opens down the center to a point just below the belt, and is bound with bldck soutache braid. Odd gilt buttons run down one side and bound buttonholes down the other. A tiny vest of flesh colored charmeuse completes N the neckline. A belt which is fastened with a gilt buckle, holds the fullness at the waist line. A brown velvet hat completes an entirely satisfactory winter outfit. Advice to the Lovelorn By BEATRICE F. RFAX. Forbidden Kimea. Dear MUs Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I have been greatly Interested in the advice you have given to others and am now going to call upon you.- Like many others, the for bidden kiss causes me considerable trouble. My companions are all well trained and noble minded. We are very popular with the girls of Omaha. I have often spoken to my chums about kissing them when we go out together; they smile at this and say all Is fair In love. Why do all mostly all young folks take thlB liberty? If the kiss should be saved until engaKement do you think many are so' blessed? I think the advice fine, yet the kiss much better. Let the advice be generally abided by but to all rules thero Is an exception. Am I mistaken? From the old maxim, "Sweet IB and never been kissed!" Infers that after 1C this is rarely the case. If a young fellow steals a kiss he then does wrong In the stealth and the action Itself but why are tho girls not reluctant? Hoping that you 'will favor me. I am, DEBITOR ANXISSIMUS. - There Is food for thought In your letter for I am simply submerged with letters concerning this subject. Shall we or shall we not, seems to be the burning question of the .hour. As you know I always say, "when lu doubt, don't," to these many queries. I really think U Is the duty of you young men to make It easier for the girls, don't throw the temptation In their way. Kisses should be reserved for the engaged, but we all know that this Is not adhered to very strictly, but, after all, are we so sure? The moon never tells. Seeks Further Schooling. Dear Miss Fairfax. Omaha Bee: I fin ished the- eighth grado several years ago, but never had the privilege of going to hifjh school. I am working now, but I feci so Ignorant I can hardly talk to the people In the office, as they all have more education than I have. I would like to go to night school this winter.

Pi'Ky goa to ths Urds" harvest partr anil is frightened by a br, which comes from the woods. Billy Oot butts ths bear Into the river. Then It la dincovernd that he la a tame dancing bear and he la In vlted to Join the party.) "W HAT'S your name?" asked reggy, as the bear climbed up the bank and shook himself, sending the water flying in every direction. "I used to be called Pete's Dancing Bear, but now I guess my name is just Lonesome Bear, he answered. "That's a funny name," remarked Peggy. "Why are you lonesome?" "It's a sad, sad story," responded Lonesome Bear, "and I'd like to get cheered up a bit before I tell it. May I have the pleasure of a dance? reggy hesitated. Mie d never danced with a bear and had never thought that she would want to. And perhaps Lonesome Bear wasn t as tame and nice as he said he was. - He might start to dance with her, then grab her and bear her off to Iris for est cave. Then she looked into his eyes. They were so soft, so friendly, with just a touch of sadness in them, that Peggy couldn t help trusting him, so she bowed her acceptance. Mill she was very glad to see that Balky Sam,- Billy Goat and Johnny Bull kept close at hand. They hadn't quite made up their minds whether to treat Lonesome Bear as a friend or a foe, and they were going to watch him. Peggy judged from the glances they gave each other that they would have been just as glad if he proved a foe, for that would give them a chance tor an exciting rescue and a lively row. Johnny Bull, n particular, seemed just aching for an excuse to pitch into Lonesome Bear again. Billy Belgium struck up a lively onestep, and Lonesome Bear rising on his hind legs, gallantly led Peggy nto it. He danced so well that she quickly forgot all her fears. He was very much of a gentleman, and was careful not to get Peggy wet from his damp fpr. He put a lot of queer variations into the dance, odd steps and tlrns that Peggy had never seen formation on the tuition, price of books and what studies are best for a general educa tion? Also what school would be best and how many nights they have school and how many weeks school lasts? Do you think I could make any headway If I would get a book and study English at borne alone? MISS L Why no(. go to the public high school? There Is no tuition and a $1 deposit is asked on books. School is held at the Central High .school Monday, Wednesday and Fri day evenings. Call up Dr. II. A. Senter at the Central High school and he will give you all the Information about It. Tou are in a fortunate position If all your business associates are better educated than you are. They will help you. Listen to their con versation. Ask questions. The greatest hindrance to the ignorant Is the fear others will realize their Ignorance. Don't be afraid of this. Tell them you do not understand the subjects mentioned, and they will gladly explain things to you. I would not try to educate myself by reading at home. The High school and the conversation of others are the best schooling you can get. Your letter Is well written and well' worded. I hardly believe you are as Ignorant as you think you are. Have confidence In yourself and keep trying to Improve and you' will find It comes easy. Soldier's Letter. Miss Beatrice Fairfax, Omaha Bee: Will you please give your advice on ths follow ing questions: I am 16 years old and have three soldier friends. A, B and C, who left here about two weeks ago for another camp. All three promised to write to me just before they left. A knew my name and address. B asked for it, "and I gave it to him, but didn't have time to give It to C, so told him to ask A for it, and he said he would. And he asked me to send him my photo. I haven't heard from any of them yet. Would It be proper for me to send them a copy of a picture I took of them Just be fore they left, or should I wait until I hear from them? Would It be proper to send C a post card? Also there ara two other soldier friend) who said they'd write, but I didn't hava time to give them my name and address, as their train was in, and I don't know of any one whom they could find It out from, so should I tend them a card? Then I have two other real good friends whom I didn't get a chance to ay goodby to; they both know my first name, but not my last, and I feel sure that they would like to write to m. so would It be proper to send each of them a card? Then I have been corresponding with a friend, but haven't heard from him for three weeks, would It be all right to write to hfm again, for I think he would writs if he wasn't sick or hadomeUiing to pre vent him. Is it proper (?) for a girl to send a snap shot of herself or a ijhoto to-all her special boy friends? And, about how long should a girl wait before answering a soldier friend's letter. I generally wait two or three days, but some think that Is not long enough. I will be very grateful to you. Miss Fair fax, If you will help ma with these ques tions. Thanking you In advance, I am, sincerely yours. MISS L. H. This Leaves the Skin Free From Hairy Growths (Toilet Talks) A simple method for completely re moving every trace of hair or fujsz is here 'given. This is painless and usually a single treatment will ban ish even stubborn growths. To re move hairs, make a thick paste with some powdered delatone and water, spread on hairy surface and after about 2 minutes rub off, wash the skin and the hairs are gone.

"Great 1" hee-hawed Balkv Sam. "Come on, Lonesome Bear, dance with me." And away they went in a waltz that made the birds laugh and that would have been a big hit in any circus. Then Billy Goat and Johnny Bull each danced with Lonesome Bear, ad he soon found himself a regular member of the party. finally Jiilly BelKium stoooed to rest and Lonesome Bear, by this tune all smiles, sat down on his haunches and looked around. "Now." he said. "I'll tell vou mv saa story. All the birds gathered around, while Peggy had the seat of honor on her throne. "Once upon a time I was born away out in the woods," began Lone some Bear. "I don't remember much about that, because when I was very young I was stolen away from home and mother." "Poor, poor Bear!" said Peggy. "With my little brother I was put in a cage in a summer park, and that wasn't so awful bad because the chil dren used to share their peanuts, pop corn and cookies with us until we grew roly-poly fat. "But that was my last summer of happiness. In the winter we were Shipped to a stuffy animal store in the city and there I met Pete." "Who was Pete?" asked Peggy. "Pete was my master and 1 be came his slave." "Was he good to you?" asked Peggy. "Sometimes when the pennies came fast he was good, and sometimes when the pennies came slow he was cross and ugly.

"Pete was using me to earn money to go back to Italy. I earned over and over again what he paid for me, but still he was after more and more money. "A few nights ago we crept into a barn to sleep. I was awakened by a terrible storm. It thundered, the light ning flashed, the rain poured down, and the wind blew. Suddenly their came a particularly loud clap and it seemed as though the earth had come to an end. The lightning had struck the barn, smashing part of it down and setting it on fire. I jerked so hard in my fright that I tore myself free from the halter to" which my chain was attached. At once I started out into the storm. "But something inside me held back. I must find what had become of Pete. By the flashes of lightning I saw him caught under the wreckage of the barn. The fire was spreading and he would soon be burned up. Working frantically, I tore the wreck age from him. Then I dragged him away tq a safe distance. That done I fled with a free con science. I had earned my freedom by saving the life of the man who owned me.
