Captain Burns in France; Wife in Business World. Wc must all concede the pretty left behind wartime bride doesn't have -such an enjoyable time after all. The well known bit of philosophy, "they also serve who only stand and wait," may sound all very well in the gilt edged family Milton, but when one applies it to every-day 20th-century life the days do begin to drag. fcveri canteening and bandage mak ing palls after a bit and neither branch of service is quite absorbing enough to keep the bride's thoughts from skipping across the sea and wonder ing just what "he" is doing now. Mrs. Robert Burns, wife of Captain Burns, has solved the problem. Every morning as the big clocks toll out the call to duty; viz., 8 o'clock, this at tractive young matron may be seen in her business-like suit of blue and close, tailored hat stepping into the First National bank. In this busy mart the former Katherine Gould spends her days and she is one of the most enthusiastic young business wo men in the city. Women In Industry. Miss Minnie T. England, head of the women in industry division of the women's committee, State Council of Defense, announces the functions of her department as defined by the sec retary of labor: . ' "It immediate task will be to develop in the industries of the country ooli-! cies and methods, which will insure the niost effective use of women's services in production for the war, while at the same time preventing their employment under injurious con ditions. Its large arid very necessary aim will be to focus attention on the national importance of conditions of women's wok as involving national Child Saving Institute Njeeds Rug. 4 At the Child Saving institute there is need of a new rug in the "toddler's room." If any Omaha housewife dur ing the fall house cleaning finds a rug about 15 by 17 which she feels needs to be replaced in her home, the old one will be thankfully received by the institute for the use of the little ones who are just able to run about, with frequent tumbles. The bare, hard floor, or a much worn rug, are hard places for little bodies to tum ble on. 1 Y. W. C. A.

X Dick Ritter invited me to go to X the Country club for dinner last X evening. Well, mother said she X X didn't care just so I would be T X back in time to help her serve. X T (She was giving a little bridge j X party). So Dick called for me X at about 6:30 and we drove out f in his car. On our way we met X a car that had. a puncture. 1 A X f lady was in it and, of course, she t was helpless, so Dick offered to t X help her. She was the lady that X f wore that fall hat. It was black V X velvet faced v.ith white satin. X 4 The brim turned up severely in Y the front and on the right side. X The crown was very high and X v stiff. A huge bunch of black v X aigrettes came directly out at f the left side from the back of the crown and extended out X about six inches from the hat. f After Dick fixed the puncture T the lady thanked him cordially j. and we went on out to the club. SOCIETY VISIONS of black cats and all man ner of bad luck signs may fill your mind, when we say Friday the 1.1th, but members of the Seymour Lake Country club are planning one of the largest affairs of the year on that ill-fated night.

A misfit party is planned for Fri dav the 20th at the club and the guests will be dressed in their worst instead of tlHr best. Old clcthes will be the rule and the refreshments will be baked beans and brown bread, served on tin plates. The dancers will one-step under bowers of corn stalks, wild grape vines and autumn leaves Friday even ing, September 27, for it will be the Harvest Home dance and the formal closing of the club. Under ghostly light shed from myriads of jack-o-lar.terns the members will have their last dinner together after a summer of innumerable good times at this at tractive club. Golden Wedding.

The Spy in the Dark. BROWNIE OWL led his forces to a section of the forest a lit tle apart from the rookery where the Crows lived. It was still light above the treetops, but down be low in the woods the shadows were already deep. The hush of twilight was in the air. The day Birds had said their last good night ami not a ! peep came from them. Even the wind was still. In its quietness the forest seemed very mysterious and awesome to Peggy. "It's getting awfully dark," she said nervously to Brownie Owl. "Yes, I can sec better every minute," he answered. "Soon we can attack." "What will we do when we do at tack?" asked Peggy, still mindful of the overwhelming number of Crows and the comparatively small fighting force of Brownie Owl. "Oh, we'll make a lot of noise, slash into the Crows with all our might and drive them scooting out of this part of the country," boasted Brownie Owl. "That doesn't sound like a good plan," mused Peggy. "You may be able to give them an awful scare, but even if you do scatter them galley west, they can't fly far in the dark, and you'll find them all back here again in the morning." Brownie Owl thought over this angle of the matter for a moment. "I agree with you," he Anally nod ded. "But even if we can't get rid of them for good, we ran give them a fright they'll remember." "But that fright will not save the corn crop," argued Peggy. "We must find some way that will force the Crows to go away or else be good. Why can't we capture old King ( row and hold him as a hostage? They wouldn't dare be bad if we had him where wo could slash off his head as the penalty." "You're right! You're always right!" exclaimed Brownie Owl en thusiastically. "We'll wall him up, just as he walled me up. My, won't I have a good time making faces at him that is, if I dare go near him!" Brownie Owl hesitated in a way that made Peggy suspicious. "If you dare go near him?" she re peated questioningly. "Why is he so much worse than other Crows?" "He is an ogre and a magician," hooted Brownie Owl solemnly. "They say he charms every bird that dares to look him in the eye. When he has charmed them he makes them dance themselves to death to amuse hiin and then eats them up." "Gracious!" said Peggy, "Why didn't you tell me this before?" "Because you didn't ask me," re- vanished into the thickrfess of the woods. Peggy was startled. "It was only a batl" hooted Brownie Owl nervously. "Only a bat, but that bat may be a spy for the Crows," exclaimed Peg gy. "Come, we must attack quickly." Her aerial chariot rose into the air and moved in the midst of the Night Birds toward the camp of the Crows. As was proved later, her fear that the bat might be a spy was only too. well founded.

"Merc's Scout Night Hawk now. lie will tell us," said Brownie Owl, as one of his warriors suddenly appeared through the gloom. Scout Night Hawk saluted smartly. "1 have to report, sir, that the Crow army is sound asleep. Old King Crow has been holding a council, at which it was decided to attack Farmer Hal ton's cornfield tomorrow morning, as the corn there ha been cut and is in shock. This council has now been dis missed and King Crow has retired to his cavern." "His cavern?" asked Peggy- I thought Crows lived in nests like other birds." "But I told you King Crow isn't like other birds," said Brownie Owl. "He lives in a cavern where he can practice his black aits." "Are the Birds brave enough to capture him?" cried Paggy to the Owls, the Whip-Poor-Wills and the Night Hawks. "We're brave enough to do anything you ask us to do," they replied in a chorus. "Then this is our plan of attack. The C.ls will pounce upon him and make him a captive. They will carry him to the caves of the Sand Mar tins, where we will imprison him." "Fine," hooted Brownie Owl. "The Whip-Poor-Wills and the Night Hawks will act as a guard, fighting off any Crows who try to in terfere." As Peggy said this there was a stealthy rush from the branches of a tree above her head, and a dark form First Payment 25c . 2ml Paym't 25c 3nl Pnym't 2Sc 4th Pnym't 2Sc Bth Paym't 50c Cth Paym't 60c 7th Paym't 50c 20th Paym't $1.10 21st Paym't $1.20 22d Paym't $1.20 8th Paym't 50c 0th Pnym't 75c 10th Paym't 75c 11th Paym't 75c 12th Paym't 7Bc 13th Paym't $1.00 14th Paym't $1.00 15th Paym't $1.00 16th Paym't $1.00 17th Taym't $1.10 18th Paym't $1.10 10th Pnym't $1.10 23d Paym't $1.20 24th Paym't $1.20 ISth Paym't $1.30 26th Paym't $1.30 27th Paym't $1.30 28th Paym't $1.30 29th Pnym't $1.40 30th Pnym't $1.40 31st Paym't $1.40 This i$ the easy, scientific easy payment schedule we've devised for those who JOIN NICKEL'S life Sewing iiaehine Club Honestly, now, could you de vise an easier way of meeting the price of the machine $39.20?
