THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: OCTOBER 20, ' 1918. I m . mu j ni mnl I ii hi mill' ' S ? , - - ' 3 B Conducted by Ella Fleishriian SOCIETY i s WHEN will the ban be lifted? It seems to be the burning v question of the hour, for the novelty of having "no place to go buthome" is beginning to get a bit -wearisome. However, even this time of sickness and sorrow has its silver lining, for those fortunate mortals who escaped the deadly "flu" have ,had t lovely time, and renewing the long forgotten custom of calling is being revived. With the hurry and bustle of twentieth century life the art of call ing was completely obsolete and one's friends seldom came exeent hy 6pecial invitation. We are hearing "these fall days of delightful Sunday - evenings when a few friends, only a very few (Dr. fanning please note) are having coiy supper parties to gether. Afternoon calls enlivened by a cup of tea are becoming quite the vogue and we are wondering if this enjoyable custom of the golden days before the war will survive after we are allowed to come and go as we please. The eastern visitors are lingering and the younger girls are finding an other glint of silver in the dull gray epidemic clouds. Two of these lovely girls are very popular.

Mona Cowell has crossed the channel and writes of her meeting in .Havre with Colonel bwalm, uncle of Miss Ruth Mills, an Omaha friend in a recent letter to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Cowell. Colonel Swalm is United States consul in Liverpool and his wife is head of the Red7 Cross there. "It was fearfully mean crossing and over a dozen were crowded in. our saloon. I wasn t ill but I wished I vere, for I constantly choked in sympathy when others were giving expression to their feelings. All save one other and myself suffered from mal-de-mer. First we rolled and then, before the old tub had set tled, we would pitch. "Today the weather is vile and this place looks dismal. Thank heaven, we leave soon for Paris. "I saw Colonel Swalm, Ruth Mills' uncle, a deiignttui gentleman, a South Carolinan. Our manner of meeting was odd. I was asked if I carried letters of introduction to anyone. If so, they had to be stamped. When he saw my letter of introduction to Colonel Swalm the man said, 'Why, the colonel is there on the dock.' A group of newspaper men from our boat were crossing, more or less famous Amer icans, and the colonel was doing the honors. He was very cordial. Please thank Ruth Mills and tell her that her uncle sent his love.

"I dislike leaving London, to me just now the most wonderful place in the world, bar none. Admiral Fisher called for us at 10 and brought us the most wonderful food. To add the finishing touch he brought us each a gardenia. Lots of fruit, which is a luxuary, a great cake and numerous, substantials. "You see, it is difficult now to get the most pleasing food while trav eling. I am rejoicing in my thermos bottle and luxuriating in my steamer rug. My bete noir is my typewriter, my affection for.it is waning each day. for I have to carry it myself, to be sure it is safe. What with par eels, coats, etc., and no red caps, I am truly glad that my good angel saved me from bringing an umbrel la. "I almost forgot to mention that I wandered up Oxford street before leaving to take a peep through Lib erty's. The shop is as lovely as ever, and I confess to a weakness, I almost ached, to buy some of the pretties, but'what to do with them in France I couldn't figure out. And we lunched today at the American Woman's club with a friend of Miss Lambertson's." v June Gay. Air: "Ben Bolt."

In a precinct of France that is sa cred, June, Gay When a heavenly orb shines above May be seen a white cross that em blazons his name, While you pine for the worth of his love. Let it comfort, June Gay, as you clutch at your breast, Where his token is secretly worn That his soul may triumphantly smile at grim death, As he smiled from a heart that was torn. Advice to the Lovelorn Improving on Nature. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: Please advise what to use to develop bust. My hair Is extremely light What would you use to make it golden 4?rown? M. B. Why not be satisfied with your hair and figure as God made them? Take long breaths of fresh air and do arm exercises to develop your chest, if necessary, but do not use any drugs. Light brown hair is considered Very pretty. Brush fre quently; keep it bright and sham poo it Soured on Men. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am 23 years old and neither ex tremely great nor small, and my looks, I frankly think, are homely, though I have an abundance of real hair. My first engagement was cut short by death, my second by my self, and here I am at 23, soured on men, determined to go through life unburdened and alone. For this reason, when I meet a man he al ways proposes on short acquaint ance; by that I mean a month or two. Miss Fairfax, how can I tell them to stoa? My indifference does not discourage them, rather it seems to encourage them. Rude ness is out of my allowed scope. What is it which makes them so foolish? You may say, engage in some useful work; I am doing that. I work during the day and later give my time to Red Cross, Liberty loan work, etc., and am anxious to go across, but can't get under the ropes of age limit. Besides, I feel that my nature is not suited to France. My money is all safely invested in Lib erty bonds. Would " you believe a girl could cry every night over just such a problem? I do just that, and all efforts to forget are mere fire brands of recollection. Please re gard this letter as it is written, seri ously and from a restless heart. OLD MAID. It is rather difficult to regard your letter seriously, because I have known a great many extremely at tractive girls in my life and never knew one who couldn't dodge a pro posal if she really wanted to. More over, if you are so busy, how do all By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. aese many importunate men meet you? They could not rush up to you on the street and say, "Mu-ry me, quick." Tou must give thvm opportunities. I agree with you that you are not suited to France. Per haps a convent or a girls' college, where no men are allowed, would be more to your taste. Seriously, child, the best thing you can do is to forget that Idea of excessive attractiveness and, busy your active brain with something else. And our his spirit will ride with heroes, June Gay, Till they trample out tyranny's thorn, While the coward whose war-profits purchased your hate Rides to death through a tempest of scorn. ISAAC A.

By Valeska Suratt. IF the ordinary eomplexion creams sold were as effective as they really should be. there would be no occasion for the appearance of this article. It is one thins to peel off the outer layer of skin and it lt another to deeply affect and purify the tissue underneath. Blemishes are as a rule deep-seated. The skin can be made trans parently beautiful, and the usual muddl ness, red spots-'and blemishes entirely re moved by the daily application of a sim ple cream made from xintone, which is a powder. It can be mixed at home with water and two tablespoonfuls of glycer ine. Resuts will be quickly seen, and its power fully appreciated if its use is kept up. No othacjaee beautifier will be neces sary in fact, ton will not want to use any other 'after a short experience with this beautifier. You can get the. xintone at hit drufr store. e e I RETIRED There is no excuse what ever for any woman having short, thin, sickly hair. There is no reason why hair should fall out in fistsful when 4J. la eombed. If yoa adopt the proper method, it will require but little attention to bring your hair back to its original beauty and wealth of growth. In fact, the method gtvea below will make beautiful hair still more beautiful, and by faithful use ot it you can acquire a ' more luxuriant head of hate than you ever thought it possible to have. This is a root developer of ex traordinary power. Simply get a one- -ounce bottle of beta-quinol (in the origi nal package) from any drug store. Then, when at home. Just mix the contents of this bottle with a half pint of bay rum and a half pint of vater, and you will have it. Use this every day and you will soon testify to the Increased Ienirth of your hair, and its unusual rigor. The hair will stop falling. . MISS G. G. H. Soap and the ordinary shampoos used for head washes are all very well as far as they go, but they do not go far enough. Most women do not realize the tremendous amount ot dead skin continually forming on the scalp, and which neither soap nor hard scrubbing with soap will entirely remove. The won der is that hair grows at all under this smothering cap of fatty accumulations. You will find a tremendous difference in the growing power of your hair, in its vigor and healthy sheen by dissolving these accumulations. This can be assured by using eggol,' a teaspoonful of which dissolved in water and used as a head wash will convince you instantly of its exceptional power. Your scalp will be freer and cleaner than you perhaps have had it for a good long while. It is luxurious to use, too. For twenty-five cents you csn get about a dozen shampoos from a pack age of eggoL MRS. "HAIRY" It is just as' easy to remove superfluous hairs now as it is to uae your favorite face cream or lotion, and just as agreeable if you use 'the proper means. The usual powders and pastes often irritate and redden the skin, and this has done more than anything else to make it a drudgery for women to use a superfluous-hair remover. Now all dan ger, irritation and skin reddening is elim inated by the use of a few drops, of sulfo solution. You can apply' this Instantly with the fingers on the hairs to be re moved. There is nothing to mix or get ready. The hairs can then be literally wiped off with the fingers. The skin is left smooth and soft as a baby's. This liquid can be applied often, without any skin irritation even to delicate parts. It is ideal. Use it on the arms, shoulder, bust, ankles, armpits. Never shave off hairs, as this makes them more stiff and grow fast er. ' Displays of Furs were never more interesting than at the present time.

When the skin pores become large they have lost much of their vigor, and aa a result the ;kin tissue begins to sag and cause wrinkles.' By making the pores small, the texture of the skin is made finer, and the tissue braces op, resulting in the disappearance of thousands of; little .wrinkles and scores of big ones. EVery woman should try this very surprising method. Get a two-ounce package of eptol from your druggist. It is a powder which, when mixed with water and one tablespoonfal of glycerine makes an unusually satiny cream. Thia applied liberally will startle even the desperate woman who has come to the conclusion that wrinkles are irremovable.
