THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1918. , 3 SOCIETY If seems a trifle too early to be even thinking of Christmas gifts and plans, but, while we ST f-n11 irrini Sm a. .'11 utumn, winter will steal upon us without evea-the creaking of a board. Christmas will figure largely in the thoughts of everyone this year, for the families which are in tact are indeed scarce, as the ex igencies of war have scattered the members from one end of the globe to the other. The two mystic words," "three pounds," are synonomous with the word Yuletide this season, for Un cle Sam has decreed that our men overseas can receive bulhree pounds of Christmas cheer. What are the uncles and cousins and the aunts to do? That is the question. When we ruminate on the numerous Oma ha men now in France and their equally numerous relatives, it is indeed puzzling to determine just how they will confine all their gifts to four pounds. Maj. Robert Burns is on' of the Omaha officers, and Cant. Malcolm Baldrige another who will receie t Christmas package containing gifts from a large number, for both young men are fortunate in being: members of large families. Christmas in a German prison camp does not sound either merry or enlivening, and it is to be hoped that through some medium the two Omaha men who are known to be in the hands f the enemy may re ceive some bit of cheer on Christ mas day. Mrs. Clifford Wolfe has just received news of her husband, who is now in a prison camp, and Frederick McConnell is another Omahan who is imprisoned. Christmas reunions will no doubt be very rare, but with several of our fighting men alreadyon home soil after a year's service overseas, it may be that the happiest of family fatherings will occur. Lt. Allan ukey is now in New York, and Lt. Kenneth Norton will be in an east ern camp for some months tp come. a day, these examinations made by the school nurses. Miss Robbins says that since no parties are allowed and there is nothing else to do, the girls are all working. Many of them have been husking corn and performing other fanrt duties. She has husked corn and tied tobacco for shipment At present she is going each afternoon to pull beets on a nearby farm. Out-of-Town Wedding. The marriage of Miss Dagmar Sorenson of Omaha to Mr. John Sorenson of Los Angeles took place October 19, in Denver, Colo. The marriage lines were read by Rev. J. E. Hummon, formerly pastor of the Kountze Memorial church in Oma ha. The only attendant was Mrs. K. Jessen, sister of the bride, also of Omaha. After a two' weeks' wedding trn Mr. and Mrs. Sorenson will make their home in Los Angeles. Masquerade Abandoned. The Washington presentation of Mrs. Myron L. Learned's patriotic masnue. "A Fantasie of the Flag," has been called off on account of the Spanish influenza epidemic in the capital.

Smith college which has been closed on account of the "flu," has again resumed work, according to a letter written home by Lois Rob bins, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. John W.

Dandruff Surely i Destroys the Hair Girhi if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't. It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dis solve it, then you destroy it entire ly. To do this get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all of your dandruff -will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely de stroy every single sign and trace of it . , ', Yon will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you 'have. This simple remedy never fails. Adv. (When Jonathan Hardest refuses to buy Liberty Bonds from Billy Belgium and I'eggy. the Liberty Spirit aya he must feel what war means. His home la sud denly whisked to France, where lt Is at tacked by the Germans.) CHAPTER III THE chimney in which Billy Bel gium and Peggy had taken refuge was really a ventilating shaft. It was so large that the chil dren had plenty of room in which to move about. An iron ladder which was evidently used in adjust ing the various outlets in the shaft, ran from the bottom to the top. This might be a means of escape if the Huns discovered the secret door. Hoarse shouts sounded through out the! house. Commands rang out,doors slammed, and there was much confusion. A loud argument could be heard in a room directly above the children, the voices being carried distinctly by the ventilator. It seemed that Jonathan Hardfist was protesting to the Germans against the ruining of his property and was being threatened with worse things. "Let's see what's going on," whis pered Billy to Peggy, leading the way up the ladder. She followed eagerly. They came to an elevator that looked down on a drawing room. Through the grated opening they could see without being seen. At a beautiful mahogany table in the center of the room was seated a German general. Around him were other officers. In front guarded by two soldiers, was Jonathan Hardfist. "This is an outrage, to attack a peaceable home in this wayl" shout ed Mr. Hardfist "it is not right" "This is war, answered the gen eral grimly, "anything is right that will help Germany win." "I want pay for every cent's worth of damage," blustered Mr. Hardfist, "and I'llvget it if" "Silence!" thundered the general, "All you'll get is a bullet through your heart if our demands are not met promptly. Our reports show you are very wealthy. You have in this house at the present time up ward of $250,000 in money and jewels. You will turn this over to us immediately." "I'm a poor man," wailed Mr. Hardfist. "Here's a list of your valuables diamonds, pearls, money. Do not try to deceive us." "Where did you get that list?" gasped Mr. Hardfist "Our spies are very efficient. You will admit that it is correct?" "No! No!" cried Mr. Hardfist. "What do you say, Hans and Se bastian?" Two men stepped forward and saluted smartly. "It is absolutely correct, excel lency!" they said. "My private secretary and butler," gasped Mr. Hardfist. "It's no use trying to evade us," said the general, "I'll not haggle with you. If in ten seconds you do not produce the valuables listed you will be shot!" Mr. Hardfist looked around -in wild despair. He saw no mercy in the faces of the Huns. "I'll lend you my money at only 5 per cent," he offered. . "Germany is not borrowing, Ger many is taking," grimly replied the officer. "Your time is up." The soldiers lifted their guns. "I'll get it! I'll get it!" shrieked Mr. Hardfist, running from the room with the soldiers following. In a few moments he was back again. Two soldiers lugged in the chest. The German officers threw it open and checked off the valuables, the secretary and butler assisting. "It is all here," said the secretary. "That is fortunate for you," de clared the general to Mr. Hardfist. "That $250,000 will buy many a can non with which to fight the Ameri cans." A young officer hurrieu in. "General, our soldiers have been fired upon from houses in the vil lage." "So P said the general, glaring at Mr. Hardfist. "You are a prominent citizen of thisplace. You, with nine other leading,citizens, will be shot in one hour in the public square as an example. Take him away." Mr. Hardfist, almost fainting at the dread sentence, was carried from the room. Billy Belgium and Peggy looked at each other in horror-stricken dis may. "We must save him," whispered Billy Belgium, "And we must get that money back too- Uncle Sam needs it to whip the Germans. They shall not use it to. buy guns to kill our boys.1' 5 .

Many ways have been found by the Victory girls to raise their quota of $5 for the United States war fund. The two little daughters of Mrs. Agnes Harrison have already earned theirs, one by taking care of a, neigh bor's baby, the other by doing the housework at home. . Margaret Par rish has been picking up potatoes; Herberta Barker and Ruth Hatter oth are packing cakes in the Iten factory; the daughters of L. C. Oberlies of Lincoln are raking leaves for neighbors.

What to Feed Invalids Pi An invalid who receives excellent cares is bound to recover his strength with some rapidity and food is one of the important aspects of such care. Unfortunately many of us have the problem of caring for one or more sick people at the present time; and the dishes below are suggested in the hope that they njay help out some busy housewife who is wondering how to feed her particular invalid.
