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.
Teas, luncheons and informal dinners-have
marked nearly every day
of Miss Katherine Baum's stay and
still more are being planned. Miss
Pauline Hayward, too, has been
feted extensively and she will re
main for some time longer aMhe
Weller home.
Mrs. Anthony French Merrill has
, .found it necessary to postpone her
opening lecture, much to the disap
pointment of her many tnenas. ior
these lectures are among the most
interesting ot the winter season. As
Mrs. Merrill is always extensively
entertained, we are expecting num
erous affairs planned for her.

Stromsburg Man Gets
Eleven Months in Jail
on White Slave Charge
Rolland Wickburg of Stromsburg,
Neb., was arraigned before Judge
Woodrough in federal court Satur
day morning on a "white slavery
charge, to which he pleaded guilty.
Wickburg is a young man, and it is
said has a wife and child in Stroms
burg, but with whom he has not
been living for some time. v
It was charged that Wickburg
met Rose Destallo, a pretty young
Italian orphan girl, 16 years of age,
who was being sent from New York
City by -a charitable institution in
that city, to Bethany, Neb., on a
tfain enroute to the latter place, and
induced her to go with him to Kan
sas City, wherehe was put under
arrest. Wickburg's attorney threw
his client . on the mercy of the court,
citing the absence of commercial
intentions on the part of the defend
ant. He was sentenced tf H months
in the Dodge county jail.
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.

by a family friend, Admiral Fisher,
whom she met eight years ago on
the Baltic.
"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

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

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.

Makings Skin Transparent Brings
About Wonderful Changes in '
, the Complexion. The Secret
' of Forcing Hair Growth.
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.

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

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

H. TEE DEE Here is way to remove
wrinkles ; which never fails because it is
based on common sense. 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. The skin
will become rejuvensted and it is surpris
ing what occurs in the faees of women evelf
of advanced years. Try it, young ladU.

Length of Dresses.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
I am a 13-year-old girl ready to en

Should I. wear hair ribbons? How

PATIENCE.
It is much more dignified for you
to wear your hair braided rather
than in curls, and also more con

with propriety. The length of dress
