Military Models Are Favored at Burgess Nash Style Display The Burgess-Na'sh company pre- ented an authentic fashion display f the fall and winter styles in the own-stairs store Tuesday. Dame Fashion's latest whim was exhibited by living models on an especially rccted stage. A number of charming frocks were displayed in satin and wool jersey, which are the prevailing textures this season. These were in tan, brown and burgundy, the three lat est colors. The lines of the new dresses are longand straight, and many have the panel effect both back and front. The long tunic is again very much in vogue. The style of these frocks is found in the severely tailored lines; however, trimmings of fringe and wool em broidery are permissible. The "Sammy" model is the most popular of all models among the coats. It is an exact model of an officer's trench coat. It is khaki colored and made of army blankets, which the government would not 'accept because the material was not woven tightly enough. There is also a coat on display which is a copy of a French officer's coat. It is of blue-grey, and with it was shown a hat of the same material with a saucy military pom-pom in the front. This outfit was worn by Angelina Sepin, a French girl, whose father was killed at the beginning of the war, fighting for France. Black is the prevailing color of the hats. Still .there are many in the popular burgundy and brown. Hatter's plush and velvets are the materials that most of the hats are made of, and the once popular os trich tip has again come into its own and constitutes the most stylish of trimmings. War Work Campaign Leaders Will Meet Here on Wednesday i At a meeting at the Rome hotel Wednesday, starting at 2 p. m., first plans' will be launched for the United War Work campaign to be waged in Nebraska during the week of November 11.

Group meetings of each organi zation will be gin at 11 o'clock, last ing through the luncheon hour. , 'A state director will be chosen to head the allied drive; questions of organization will be settled, and other preliminary steps taken. CHAPTER XIII (Continued.) "And you consider yourself en gaged to both John Smith and Stan ley G. Fulton?" "It sounds p'retty bad, but yes," blushed Miss Maggie. "And you must love Stanley "G. Fulton just exactly as well no, a little better, than you did John Smith." "I'll try to if he's lovable." Miss Maggie's head was at a saucy tilt. "He'll try to be but it won't be all play, you know, for you. You've got to tell him what to do with those twenty millions. By the way, what will you do with them?" he demand ed interestedly. Miss Maggie looked up, plainly startled. "Why. yes. that's so. You vou if you're Mr. Fulton, you have got And I forgot all about those twen ty millions. And they're yours, Mr. Smith t" "No, they're not Mr. Smith's," ob jected the man. "They belong to Fulton, if you please. Furthermore, can't you call me anything but that abominable 'Mr. Smith?' My name is Stanley. Yqu might er er abbreviate it to er er 'Stan' now." "Perhaps so but I shan't," laughed Miss Maggie "not yet. You may be thankful I have wits enough left to call you anything after be coming engaged to two men all t at once." "And with having the responsibil ity of spending twenty millions, too." 'Oh, yes, the money!" Her eyes began to shine. - She drew another long breath. "Oh, we can do so much with that money! Why, only think what is needed right here better milk for the babies, and a community house, and the streets cleaner, and a new carpet for the church, and a new hospital with " "But, see here, aren't you going to spend some of that money on yburself?" t demanded. "Isn't there something you want?" She gave him a merry glance. "Myself? Dear me, I guess I ami I'm going to Egypt, and China, and Japan with you, of course; and books oh, you never saw such a lot of books as I shall buy. And oh, I'll spend heaps on just my selfish self you see if I don't! But, first oh, there are so many things that I've wanted to do, and it's just come over me this minute that now I can do them! And you know how Hill erton needs a new hospital." Her eyes grew luminous and earnest again. "And I want to build a store and run it so the girls can live, and a factory, too, and decent homes for the workmen, and a big market, where they can get their food at cost; and there's the playground for the children, and But, Mr. Smith was laughing, and lifting both hands in mock despair. "Look here," he challenged, "I thought you were marrying me, but are you marrying me for that con founded money?" Miss Maggie laughed merrily. "Yes, I know; but you see" She stopped short. An odd expression came to her eyes. Suddenly she laughed again, and threw into his eyes a look so merry, so whimsical, so altogether challeng ing, that he demanded: "Well, what is it now?" "Oh, is so good, I have half a mind to tell you.1' "Of course you'll tell me. Where copyright, 1918, by Eleanor H. Porter andmember those letters I got a whileany better when I do explain? lhink" Miss Maggie meditated; then, a little tremulously she drew in her breath. She lifted startled eyes to his face. "Why, you'd have to tell them that that you did ft for a test, wouldn't you?" "If I told the truth yes." "And they'd know they couldn't help knowing that they had failed to meet it adequately." "Yes. And would that help matters any make things any happier, all around?" "No oh, no," she frowned de spairingly. "Would it do anybody any real good, now? Think of that." N-no, she admitted reluctantly, "except that that you'd be doing right. "But would I be doing right? And another thing aside from the mor tification, dismay and anger of my good cousins, have you thought what I'd be bringing on you?" "Me!" "Yes. In less than half a dozen hours after the Blaisdells knew that Mr. John Smith was Stanley G. Ful ton, Hillerton would know it. And in less than half a dozen more hours, Boston, New York, Chicago to say nothing of a dozen lesser cities would know it if there didn't hap pen to be anything bigger on foot. Headlines an inch high would pro claim the discovery of the missing Stanley G. Fulton, and the fine print below would tell everything that happened, and a great deal that did not happen, in the carrying out of the eccentric multimillionaire's ex traordinary scheme of testing his relatives with $100,000 apiece to find a suitable heir. Your picture would adorn the front page of the yellow est of yellow journals, and " "My picture! Oh, no, no!" gasped Miss Maggie. "Oh, yes, yes," smiled the man im pertuibably. "You'll be in it, too. Aren't you the affianced bride of Mr. Stanley G. Fulton? I can see them now: "In Search of an Heir and Finds a Wife.' 'Charming Miss Maggie Duff Falls in Love With riain John Smith.' and " "Oil, no. no," moaned Miss Mag gie, shrinking back as if already the lurid headlines were staring her in the face. Mr. Smith laughed. "Oh. well, it might not be so bad as that, of course. But you never can tell. Undoubtedly there are ele ments for a pretty good story in the case, and some man, i with nothing more important to write up, is bound to make the most of it somewhere. Then other papers will copy. There's sure to be unpleasant pub licity, my dear, if the truth once leaks out." "But what what had you planned to do?" she faltered, shuddering again. "Well, I had planned something like this: Pretty quick, now, Mr. Smith was to announce the comple tion of his Blaiscleil data, and, with properly grateful farewells, take his departure from Hillerton. He would go to South America. There he would go inland with a few native guides and carriers, but no other companion. Somewhere in the wilderness he would shed his beard and his name and would emerge in his proper person of Stanley G. Fttl ton and promptly take passage for the states. Of course, upon the ar rival in Chicago of Mr. Stanley G. Fulton there would .be a slight flurry at his appearance, and a few references to the $100,000 gifts to the eastern relatives, and sundry specu lations as to the why and how of the exploring trip. There would be various rumors and alleged inter views, .but Mr. Stanley G. Fulton never was noted for his communi cativeness, and, after a very short time, the whole thing would be dis missed as probably another of the gentleman's kell-known eccentrici ties. And there it would end." (Continued Tomorrow.) he aske discontent- are you going edly. Miss Maggie had left the sofa, and was standing, as if half poised for flight, midway to the door. "I think yes, I will tell you," she nodded, her cheeks very pink; "but I wanted to be over here, to tell it." '"Way over there?" , "Yes, 'way ovef here. Do you re- ago, and the call from the Bo"Ston lawyer, that I I wouldn't tell you about?" "I should sav I did! "Well, you know you you thought they they had something to do with my money; that I I'd lost some." "I did. dear." "Well, they they did have some thing to do with money. "I knew they did I" triumphed the man. "Oh, why wouldn't you tell me then and let me help you some way?" She shook her head nervously and backed nearer the door. He had half started from his seat. "No, stay there. If you don't I won't tell you." He fell back, but with obvfous reluctance. "Well, as I said, it did have some thing to do with my money; but just now, when you asked me if I I was marrying you or your money " "But I was in fun you know I was in fun!" defended the mat hotly. "Oh, yes, I knew that," nodded Miss Maggie. "But it it made me laugh and remember the letters. You see, they weren't as you thought. They didn't tell me of of money lost. They told mc of money gained." "Gained?" "Yes. That father's Cousin George in Alaska had died and left me $50,000. But, my dear woman, why in heaven's name wouldn't you tell mc that?" "Because." Miss Maggie took a step nearer the door. "You see, I thought you were, poor very poor., and I I wouldn't even own up to it myself, but I knew, in my heart, that I was fr-id, if you heard I had this money, you wouldn't-iyou wouldn't ask me to to " f She was blushing s adorably now that the man understood and leaped to his feet. "Maggie, you darling!" But the door had shut Miss Maggie had fled. CHAPTER XXIV. That Miserable Money. In the evening after the Martin girls had gone to their rooms, Miss Maggie and Mr. Smith faced the thing squarely. "Of course," he began with a sigh. "I'm really not out of the woods at all. Blissfully happy as I am, I'm really deeper in the woods than ever, for now I've got you there with me, to look out for. However success fully John Smith might dematerialize into nothingness Maggie Duff can't." "No, I know she can't," admitted Miss Maggie, soberly. "Yet, if she marries John Smith, she'll have to and if she doesn't marry hi.n, how's Stanley G. Fulton going to do his courting? He can't come here. "But he mustn't!" Miss Maggie looked up with startled eyes. "Why, Mr. Smith, you'll have to tell them who you are. You'll have to tell them rijht away." The mun n de a playfully wry face. "I shall be glad," he observed, ".vhen I shan't be held off at the end of a 'Mr.'! However, we'll let that pass until we settle the other mat ter. Have you given any thought as to how I'm going to tell Cousin Frank and Cousin James and Cousin Flora that I am Stanley G. Fulton?" "No except tftat you must do it," she answered decidedly. "I don't think you ought to deceive them an other minute not another minute." "Hm-m." Mr. Smith's eyes grew reflective. "And had you thoughW-as to what wguld happen when I-did tell them?" "Why, n-no. not particularly, ex cept that that they naturally wouldn't, like it, at first, and that you'd hae to explain just as you did to me-j-why you did it."

L ILA LEE, the new star of the Paramount company, has fin ally entered into the moving picture life she's bought a pet leo pard. For a while it looked as if Miss Lee was going to get by with out any of the stunts of a real movie actress; she was advertised as merely a simple, pretty little girl with a real talent basis as the reason for being on the screen. She worked a couple of months without any stories, being sent out about stub bing her toe and none of her fifth cousins went to war and gave her a chance to get her name in the pa pers. Now, however, watch us close lv, for we expect this pet leopard will chew up at least $3,000 worth of gowns a week; he ought to be good for at least one biting and scratching contest why here he is already in the paper with Lila's name attached. For two weeks, with the assistance of the location man, the director had been looking for a type. He wanted a derelict. No half-starved extra, willing to make up to repre sent anything for $5. He must have an out-of-the-ordinary piece' of real human wreckage with a "tragic something" in his face. He had looked vainly at hundreds of un shaven, evil hobos about the city. Then they had roused him out early in the morning to go and look at a prospect. The bullett head, u.ikempt hair, scarred, unshaven fea tures, and dirt, dirt, dirt, besides that "tragic something" proclaimed his type. He had given the man a dollar and extracted from him a promise to be at the studio at one o'clock that afternoon. That afternoon in high spirits the director entered the studio lobby and looked around. Someone detached himself sud denly from a bench and came for ward. The director looked at him. It was his precious type. But the "tragic something" was missing AM18EMENTS. General Pershing himself sent to this country the material included in "America's Answer" the second official government war film, now showing at the Brandeis theater.

Mabel Montgomery Recovers After Long Suffering By Taking Tanlac "No one could see the wonderful change that has taken place in ouf little daughter during the past few weeks and doubt lanlac being a grand medicine," said Mrs. H. W. Montgomery, residing at 2701 Bris tol street, Omaha, Nebraska, re cently. "Mabel is now 13 years of age," continued Mrs. Montgomery, "and had suffered terribly for five years. One of her troubles was inflamma tory rheumatism. Her feet and hands would swell very badly and at times she couldn't walk. She had no appetite, suffered with frightful headaches and iry place of growing she seemed to be losing ground. She was often in bed for several weeks at a time, and we had to keep her out of school all the past year. She was a very sick child and' although we spent lots of money for medi cines, nothing seemed to reach her trouble, and we had begun to think she would never get well. "One of our relatives urged us to give h?r Tanlac and now vou wouldn't take her for the same child. She has actually gained thirty-four pounds and looks the picture of health, and to all ap ances is perfectly well. She never complains of an ache or a pain nor a disagreeable symptom of any kind. She is brimful of life and ambition now and enjoys Hf-3 and play like other children. Soon after she be gan on Tanlac her appetite came back 'and she increased in weight so last mat we were astonished, and the swelling, pain and headaches gradually disappeared. She is now able to enter school aain and we are more than grateful for what Tanlac had done for her. I have also taken Tanlac for loss of anpetite, poor digestion and nervousness, and it has done me a world of good. I i feel fine a'l the time and am glad 1 to say all I can for Tinlac."
