GIRLS IN WAR
THE tables in the cafe of a city's
department store were pretty
well filled when the woman
entered, seeking a place where she
might partake of such food as our
friend, Mr. -Hoover, might permit.
Over in the corner she caught sight
of a trim figure, the place opposite
her, at the table for two, still
vacant. The woman wandered her
way and the girl looked up pleas-
, antly and nodded a smiling assent
to the query:
; "May I eit with you?"
( They did not fall into conversa-
tioiv at oin-e. The girl was engaged
in consuming creamed chicken with
all the relish of youth and a healthy
appetite, but it was while the two
sat (the woman aityig for her more
modest sandwich) that the older
noted the military cut and color of
the coat the girl wore and the red
service band across the left sleeve
just below the cuff.
"What is your service," she asked
simply, "motor?"
"Yes," the girl answered just as
simply, "motor."
The beginni.g of the conversation,
.as you sec, was quite modern.
There was no "approach."
"Tell in about it, won't you?" and
expected to hear in reply a story of
taking convelescent soldiers on
pleasant excursions or the transfer
ring of Red Cross packages of mercy
. from one station to another.
"Wcll.jyou see, I drive a truck"
she began
' Tou drive a truck!"
j "Yes, I drive a truck, so I am on
duty eery day, but most of the girls
have one or two days a week, just
as they can give the time. How
many us are driving trucks? Oh,
I'm the only one, and say" she add
ed this with all the glee of a young
ster confessing a bit of naughtiness
"I ,uess I've moved everything
but a piano. I work for them all,
you know the Red Cross, the Civ
ilian Relief, all of the war organiza
tions that seem to need me. I've
been crazy to go overseas. Had a
dreadful time persuading my family
to let me do it and then what do you
hink happened? I couldn't get my
passport because I was too young!
So," blithely but with an air of res
ignation "I'm doing what I can
over here."'
She was too young to go overseas!
The government requires its work
ers to be 25 at least. Perhaps she
was 20. I doubt it. In her long mil
itary coat, high boots and natty
breeches I would have guessed she
was 17 perhaps 18. She was doing
"what she could" over here because
she could not go to France and help
the fighters.
A great deal is happening to this
gin in tne war. the world she has
called hers is not goii.g to be the
same. It isn't going to be possible
for the girl of the wealthy family
who "drives a truck" as her con
tribution to return to the seclusion
ot ner nome when war is done and
forget the girl whose duties of peace
tines call her daily into public life.
It isn't going to be possible for the
gin ot the munitions plant, when
war conditions no longer require the
making of man-killing shells, to re
turn to her more peaceful occupa
tions and forget the girl of the
wealthy familj who has walked with
her t:..ough the duties of war days.
A new bond between the girls of
the world is being cemented. The

WAR WORKERS PAY STORY
TOLL TO GABBY DETAYLS
"T1 VERY woman about the United
War Work office in the court
house seems to have a title. It is a
sort of officers' headquarters and a
private is hard to find. One day re
cently someone entered and con
sulted Mrs. Julia Nagle James, who
puts in many hours of the busy day
working there. "Let me see," said
the seeker after information, "What
is your title, Mrs. James?" Mrs.
James thought a moment. "Well,"
she said, ''I hardly know. I guess
I am a scout." .
HEN Robert Buckingham's
former Omaha High school
W
instructors heard of the honors the
young man won last week as a
freshman in Amherst college, they
were reminded of some of his
youthful escapades, and regaled
Gabby with tales of the high spirit
ed lad's doings. In. his senior year,
a questionnaire was passed the
students and among the questions
was "What is your preference as to
college?" On Robert' paper the
answer was, "Moler barber college."
TV! ISS MARY AUSTIN, principal
of the Columbian school,
helped in the office of the Visiting
Nurses during the "flu" epidemic.
So did Mrs. W. J. Hynes. Now it
seems that Mrs. Hynes' little son
goes to Columbian school and is
much in awe of his dignified princi
pal. i
One evening at the dinner table
Mrs.- Hynes made a casual refer
ence to Miss Austin in connection
with the work. "Does she work in
the office now?" inquired the boy.
"Oh, mother, suppose you had to
tell her to do something? What
would you do?"
LitON O. SMITH, psychological

doesn't like to brag about his chil
dren, but he really believes his
young son, aged two and a half,
shows signs of unusual business
ability for one so young. The other
morning he asked his mother for a
drink of milk.
"There isn't any milk in the house
now," Mrs. Smith replied. "You will
have to wait until I can get some
from the grocery store."
Then she went on with her work
and forgot all about the child un
til, several minutes later, she taw
htm coding up the street with his
little red wagon, on which reposed
a full bottle of milk. The child had
collected several empty milk bottles,
taken them to the grocery store and
traded them for a full bottle.
p ABBY heard all about the recep
tion the war camp community
committee gave Fred .C Williams,
the new director, when he came last
week. Mr. Williams has been in
school work in Nebraska, for many.
years, ana auss tfelle Kyan and
Superintendent Beveridge know him
very well.
. When Miss Ryan was introduced
to the new director she assumed her
most kindly and welcoming look, "I
am so glad to meet you," she said
effusively. Mr. Williams looked
puzzled. Then Mr. Beveridge was
introduced. He wore his best "be
kind to strangers" and welcomed
Mr. Williams into their midst most
cordially.
By that time Mr. Williams decided
it was a joke and refused to be
treated longer as a stranger and the
committee resolved itself into a
good fellowship meeting. j
A .woman everyone knows and
loves is ever so eager to en
ter overseas service.
Hers has been the task of handling
many, many applications of other
women for overseas service and
sending them on their way rejoicing
in the opportunity to serve.
Valuable as her services would be,
the probabilities are that she will'
not be accepted by reason of the rul
ing barring any woman who has a
son in the service.
Intimations have come from
Washington however that the ruling
might be lifted.
rp WO day's pay is the desired sub-
scription of individuals to the
United War Work campaign, and

donations by women.
"How is a married woman going
to estimate her pay?" one of the
species wanted to know.
Well how? Gabby Detayls

PERHAPS it is because we have
all learned the lesson, "Food
will win the war;" perhaps it
is because the slogan, "Back to the
land" has at last begun to bear fruit,
but certain it is that Omaha women
are taking to farming like ducks to
water.
One after another Omaha maids
and matrons induce their husbands
and fathers to buy them farms,
ranging in size from two or three
lots to 40 or 50 acre tracts, and they
proceed to show their scoffing
friends that just because a woman
is city born and bred is no reason
at all that she can't raise various
things, like pigs, strawberries,
chickens and potatoes.
It is remarkable how successful
Omaha women have shown them
selves in their patriotic efforts to
produce food. Few, indeed, have
been the failures, and the successes
ar? so numerous that friends have
turned from skeptical, onlookers to
admiring boosters.
In raising funds for the various
war activities woman long ago took
a leading part; in knitting, bandage
making, fashioning refugee garments
and other Red Cross activities, the
American woman has astonished
the world by her energy and perse
verance, women nave rusnea into
business and industrial lines in great
numbers, not so much for the love
of the work or the salaries attached,
as to help get the tasks of the absent
men accomplished. When it came to
raising crops and breeding farm
stock, however, the world said, "She
can't do that." And now she has.
It would take a book to tell about
all the women of Omaha who en
rolled, or are planning to enroll,
under the standard of Uncle Sam's
food producers.
One Raises Poultry.
Mrs. Bert Fowler is one of Oma
ha's most enthusiastic women farm
ers. The Fowlers have a beautiful
12-acre country home near Florence,
which they appropriately call "Hill
crest." Poultry is Mrs. Fowler's
chief care, and she raised 128 little
chickens last year. ' I had grand
luck with them," said Mrs. Fowler.
"Some of our crops did not do as
well as usual, owing to the dry
weather, but my big flock of 175
feathered beauties supplied us with
eggs and frys and brought in bounti
ful returns, in spite of the weather."
Mrs. Lysle Abbott and her six
lovely daughters revel in the joys
of their country home in Florence
Heights in summer, though they
must be in town, where schools are
more convenient, in winter. The
minute school is over this happy
family hies itself to the leafy com
fort of the farm. Clad in feminalls,
they dig in the moist, soft earth,
pull beets pick berries and make
themselves useful and happy, re
turning in the fall, browned by the
summer sun and eager to take up
the neglected books again. There

ply mother and sisters with someO
other duties than tarnung.
Everbearing strawberries have
been Mrs. Abbott's specialty until
last year. The Omaha club took all
she could provide, paying 65 cents
a quart for the November berries.
Last year was too dry for the berries
and they have been allowed to die
out. Many a basket of delicious
purple grapes found its way to mar
ket from the farm last summer, and
the apple orchard showed its appre
ciation of the attentions of a corps
of university experts, who sprayed
ard pruned it in the proper manner.
Five miles west on the Lincoln
highway, lies Overlook farm, owned
by Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Farrington.
Here Mr. l'arnngton raises pedi
greed Holstein cattle and ?Irs. Far
rington is planning to raise acres
of brilliant peonies. If kind Mother
Nature permits, and the 300 peonies
bloom in their accustomed gorgeous-
ness. there will be a sale of these
popular flowers for the benefit of
the Red Cross next year, l his year
Mrs. Farrington canned fruit all
summer, preserving the luscious
products of their trees and vines.
"I found time to love the little black
and white calves and plan for the
coming year," said Mrs. Farrington,
"but most of the daylight hours were
spent over the preserving kettle.
Last spring Mrs. Charles W.
Reese felt the call of the land and
talked farm until her husband
bought a fifteen acre tract almost
within the city of Florence, the
house nestling in a hallow at the
crest of a hill and looking out across
the broad Missouri to the grey bluffs
beyond. There is an acre of aspar
agus on the place, which meant hard
work, and Mrs. Reese put in many
trying hours last summer cutting
the stalks and tying them in bunches
fcr sale. She also raised a big flock
of chickens and a brood of Indian
Runner ducks. An orphan pig was
another care, for it had to' be raised
on a bottle and was almost as much
trouble as a baby. This, with fruit
and vegetables to can, grapes, straw
berries and all the other fast grow
ing cares of farm life, have made
Mrs. Reese a busy woman all sum

"Two splendid young women of

of the physical training classes thi

Pigs for Market.
Nowhere will you find finer pedi

raised by Miss Loretta Scheibel on
the 50-acre farm she operates near
Florence. Their red backs dot the
green alflalfa fields in summer, while
the black and white cattle graze in
the pastures. Miss Scheibel is proud
of a sale of 20 3-month-old pigs
which she made this season, the
consideration being $1,000. Sixty
little pigs were brought into the
world on the farm this year and sent
on their way to increase the meat
supply. Besides managing the farm,

bought their country home, but are

and are buying the foundation of a

summer will see chickens and a Jer

LOVE'S ALLUREMENT AND WOMEN WAGE EARNERS
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
ARE you afraid of life?
That is, are you afraid of
love, marriage and mother
hood? Or, if not precisely that,
are you afraid of the responsibilities
and the ofteniresome duties that
these other great privileges are
pretty sure to entail?
" Are you very proud of your inde
pendence and security and thrift,
and do you value that weekly pay
envelope of yours almost more than
anything else" in the world? And
somewhere in the back of your mind,
as black and heavy as an iron ball
and chain, is there a dread of becom
ing a captive of the kitchen and the
motive power for a baby carriage
with no evenings out or Sundays off
and no pay envelope whatever?
I wish that I might personally
persuade every girl who. supports
herself and is justly proud of doing
so that there is a larger way of
looking at life than the way to which
she may have accustomed herself. I
wish I could make her see that the
ability that brings a market price is
an asset that counts in marriage and
not a merely maidenly attribute that
fades out of sight with the slipping
on of the wedding ring.
Work by all means, if you ' can
and will, and somebody will employ
you. You will be a wiser and more
practical woman for the experience.
But don't let this deprive you of
your woman's heritage. If a man
loves you and you love him, don't
let the thought ct your present pay
envelope or of that future dishpan
prevent you from marrying him.
What would become of the homes
and the children of the future if the
strong, self-supporting girls avoided
marriage and it became the refuge
of the weak incapables
Every girl's problem needs a spe
cial solution. Nobody could be wise
enough to give advice which would
apply to all cases. But there are
some general considerations that
all girls will do well to remember
when they find that their lives have
reached a turning point, that there
is a decision to be made.
Danger of Cynicism.
First, don't let any job come to
seem to you more important than it
really is. You may have a remark
able talent for bookkeeping as well
as for order and system and neat
ness generally. It is quite likely
that all your superiors in the office
have assured you of this and that
you have come to feel pretty cer
tain that tha work of the office
couldn't get on without you. This
is a "very , pleasant feelinjj. and
there is something almost intoxicat
inpr about it. too. You know your
self how it often leads you to work
overtime and sometimes even to
give up your Saturday afternoons.
Then it may be that during your
childhood you shared a sordid fam
ily struggle with poverty and that
you got bitterly tired of disorder
and overwrought nerves and of
there never being quite enough of
everything to go around. And the
order and independence that you
have achieved are so precious that
I know you are often a little cynical
about mere sentiment.
All this is quite natural. And one
admires the girl who respects her
self and likes her job and excels in
it. Only, don't let it lead you to
despise love and lovers. Don't be
afraid to let yourself love the man
who has chosen you and needs you.
All the great realities of life are
within your reach. Perhaps you
could never love this particular man,
in which case you w'll have to let
him go. But listen to your own
heart and let that decide. And have
the courage and womanliness to ac
cept its" decision.
Now you have all along taken it
for granted, perhaps, that you
couldn't work after marriage. But
don't let any old-fashioned coun
sellor, even your fiance himself, per
suade you that this is necessarily
true. A -husband's dignity 'isn't in
the least impaired if the wife
chooses to contribute the contents
of a second pay envelope to the
family purse. If she has a talent
for bookkeeping and that dread of
the dishpan I have referred to. why
not continue with the bookkeeping,
married or not? Her salary will
make it eas'ly possible for her to
pay some one else to do the house
work that she is obliged to leave un
done, and the family sitting room
at night will be a far more cheerful
and interesting place than if she
had forced herself to do the work
that to her is merely hateful
drudgery.
When Baby Comes.
Somebody will say that a home
isn't a home without babies and
that a mother is obliged to stay
there. That, her children demand
her, if her husband doesn't. And,
to a certain degree, that is true. In
a home where a baby is expected,
or where there is a baby of nursing
age, a mother rdust place her
mother's duty above everything else
in life. This doesn't mean that she
need be an utterly idle parasite,
merely that she must place the
baby's interest first. But this is,
after all, a brief period. For, to my
mind, it isn't always necessary that
a mother take all the care of her
baby after it is a year old. But
that is a question that every mother
must decide for hersef, and that I
shall discuss at length in another
article.
Think your own life out for your
self. Don't be influenced too much
by any one person's advice. Re
member that it's every woman's
Early Christmas Shopping
Every year we hear the same old cry, "Do your Christmas shop
ping early." This is the only way clerks can be relieved of extra
hours of nervous hurrying in crowded, superheated stores, which
leaves them in no condition to enjoy the beauties of the season of
"peace on earth, good will to men."
This year we need to buy early more than ever before. Even
with a normal supply of clerks, the Christmas rush is hard to handle,
but there is not a normal supply this year. There are many in France,
many nursing wounded soldiers or making munitions and doing other
war work, and inexperienced girh take their places.
Women, let us practice the golden rule this year. Let us place
ourselves in their positions and shop early, relieving them of the un
bearable strain of the usual Christmas rush.
right to be a wife and mother, but
that there's no reason in the world
why she can't be a wage earner also
if she chooses to. In fact, that it's
a case where she can haye her cake
and eat it, too.

TTTASHINGTON society has
suffered very considerably
from the effects of Spanish
influenza. Many of the embas
sies and legations and the
most prominent families in society
have been thrown into mourning,
because of its heavy toll. Two mili
tary men of the British embassy
staff, Col. Angus Mackintosh, son-in-law
of the governor general of
Canada and the Duchess of Devon
shire, and Captain Lyell both died
within a week. The military attache
of the Japanese embassy, Colonel
Tanikawa; picturesque little Mrs.
Koo, the tiny wife of the Chinese
minister, only twenty-two years old,
who was among the first victims;
then Mme. Raybaud, wife of the
military attache of the Argentine
embassy, who died in Spain of the
same malady; Mr. Menos, the min
ister from Haiti, and young Master
Galvan, son of the Dominican min
ister, all died within a week. Among
the residential society, no more
tragic deaths were known than Miss
Bessie Edwards, only child of Gen.
Clarence Edwards, who has been in
France since we first declared war
upon Germany, and Lt. Lawrence
Townsend, Jr., U. S. N., son of the
former United States minister to
Portugal and. to Belgium.
From the first day of "November
the great recreation and pleasure
moments for society will be the con
certs. An unprecedented season is
on the schedule. Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson, Mrs. Marshall, all the mem
bers of the cabinet circle, and Mme.
Jusserand, wife of the French am
bassador, are all on the patroness
list for the French Symphony
orchestra, whose concert was post
poned from last week, to November
6, on account of the "flu." This will
be practically the opening of the
season, and one of the first gather
ings of society this season.
Plenty of Debutantes.
Of debutantes, there are a plenty.
But of parties there will be a con
siderable dearth. The girls are all
busy with their war work, and for
the most of them, their parents are
too much concerned over what is
going on across the sea, to encour
age them in any festivities, except
the simplest. There are no official
buds, and but one diplomatic, the
daughter of the minister from Salva
dor, Miss Julia Zladivar. She will
be presented at an evening party,
a dance.
There will be at least one cabinet
wedding before the holidays set in,
that of Miss Lucy Burleson, daugh
ter of the postmaster general, and
Ensign Charles Greene Grimes, U.
S. N., of Dayton, Ohio. This is a
case of an ensign marrying a sailor.
The wedding will take place No
vember 2, in St. John's church. Miss
Burleson is a yeowoman," enlisted
for another two years and several
months. Miss Burleson will have
for her maids of honor her sister.
Miss Sydney Burleson, and the
;opm.'a uster, .Mis Maryj
Grimes. The only information of the1
details of the wedding so far known(
is that the wedding gown will not
be a uniform of any kind, but a real,,
white satin costume. The bride will1
retain her work in the Navy depart-)
ment, where she is detailed for duty
in the paymaster general's office.'
The bridgegroom is on duty there,
but is likelyto go to sea at any min-1
ute. The president and Mrs. Wilson
will be the honored guests at the
ceremony, which will be attended by
the cabinet circle, relatives and inti
mate friends of the bride and bride-'
groom. A small reception will fol
low in the postmaster general's
home on F street, one of the big old
fashioned residences in that old-
fashioned district. It was for'many .
years occupied by a former minister
from the Netherlands. (
