MUSIC
By HENRIETTA REES.
"We're trntinf tonight on the old ramp
ruunil,
(ilve uh a Monff to cheer
Our wenrjr hearts, song of home,
Anl friend we love ao dear."
THUS sang the camp poet away
back in the civil war, and the
prayer he breathed in his sim
ple, touching song is being answered
in this war through the work of the
seven organizations which are
united to do social and welfare work
among the soldiers during the great
present conflict.
Throughout the camps there is not
only the song to cheer, but song
leaders to help the men do the sing
ing. In the huts at the front and
t the great army camps, many of
lie finest artists of the world have
given the song to cheer, and sung it
wit! such beauty of voice and tonal
art that its messages could not help
but get across. In the camps wher
ever possible pianos and other mu
sical instruments are found, where
the boys can play and sing, or listen
to others who take pleasure in do
ing it for them, and the song to
cheer, which in former wars was but
a wee, small voice, has risen to a
mighty paean of mjlody, which per
haps does more to maintain the
morale of the soldiers than any oth
er one influence.
For the value of the song to cheer
has been recognized by the govern
ment, and by the seven welfare or-1
ganizations which are at the tront
for the benefit of the soldiers when
they ?.re not fighting. The comfort
of the soni to cheer, and the magic
of it is drawing music into its true
place in the lives and hearts of the
people, of the boys who are fight
ing and the folks at home. When
peace comes, after the burst of
gladness, the song to cheer will still
lirve its place for the impatient sol
dier and sailor, lonely and far away,
who must stay and help in the up
building. How about you? Are
you going to have a part in furnish
' ing this comfort, a part large
enough to have the song of cheer
find an echo in your own heart?
The United War Work campaign
for funds due next week olTers you
the opportunity.
' The Tuesday Musical club will
open Omaha's musical season on
Tuesday evening, November 19,
witli Julia Claussen and Arthur
Hackett in joint recital at the Bran
ded theater at 8:15 o'clock.
The Tuesday Musical club has
mailed season tickets, in book form,
to each member of the club. The
, mailing system for reserved seats,
which was inaugurated last season,
will be tried again, thus doing away
with the inconvenience of standing
in line to reserve tickets.
Madame Julia Claussen was born
in Sweden. She studied at the Roy
al Academy in Stockholm, and later
in Berlin, making her debut as lead
ing mezzo-soprano at the Royal
Opera of Stockholm. There she
was heard by Mr. Andreas Dippel,
who engaged her for the Chicago
Philadelphia Opera company for the
seasons 1913, 1914 and 1915. Her
American debut as Ortrud in "Lo
hengrin" created a stir that left Ho
room for doubt as to her title to a
high place among operatic artists
of the day. Her Brunnhilde won
even greater critical and public ac-
claim, in tne spring or m jua
Jame Claussen accompanied the
Chicago Upera company to tne ra
cific coast, and then joined the
splendid forces of the Royal opera,
Covent Garden, London, dividing
her summer between that organiza
tion and the company under Mr.
Henry Russell at the Theater
Champs-Elysees, Faris. Returning
to Amer she scored further tri
umphs with the Chicago Opera
company, while her concert and re
cital appearances brought her con
stantly into further favor.
Arthur Hackett, the American
tenor, was born in - Portland, Me.
Once started on his career as a con
cert singer Arthur Hackett soon
made his fine voice known through
out New England. He was engaged
as soloist with the Boston Festi
val orchestra on its spring tour of
'1913, and in the following spring
went on tour with the St. Louis
Symphony orchestra. In Septem
ber, 1916, Mr. Hackett appeared
one night, with little advance no
tice, at the fall series of operatic
"pop" concerts in Symphony hall,
Boston. In the papers the next
day he was hailed as a discovery
and received the unqualified praise
of Boston's most exacting critics.
Following these concerts Mr.
Hackett was engaged to assist
Geraldine Farrar on a concert tour
of the middle-west, where he won
for himself the admiration of the
huge audiences that heard him.
Season tickets for the course of
recitals by local artists which will
be given this winter by the music
department of the Omaha Woman's
club are now on sale at the follow
ing places: Burgess-Nash informa
tion desk, office of the Y. W. C. A.
building, and at Hospe's music
store. Mrs. Ward Shafer, leader
of the department; Mrs. F. J. Far
ington, secretary, (whose address
is the Iilwood apartments. Fifty
first avenue and Dodge) and mem
bers of the music department also
have the tickets for sale. We have
already commented upon .he ex
cellence of these programs, which
have been outlined in this column,
also upon the reasonableness of
the tickets, and especially upon the
fact that it is the duty of Omaha
music lovers to know the best kind
and quality of work which exists
among them, and to support it, in
order both to maintain and to raise
the standard, and encourage artists
of worth to settle and remain in
this community. The first recital of
the series will take place Novem
ber 26, at the Y. W. C. A. auditor
ium, when Edith L. Wagoner, pi
anist, and Robert Cuscaden, vio
, linist, will present the program.
Since the cancellation of the grand
opera season interest has turned to
the coming attractions of the All

The Nebraska Wesleyan Conser
vatory of Music takes great pleas
ure in announcing that it has been
awarded a student scholarship of
$200 by the Presser Foundation of
Philadelphia, to be given to a tal
ented, advanced piano student. The
Wesleyan Conservatory has decided
that this gift can in turn be most
fittingly awarded a worthy student
through the medium of a public con
test, with a brief preliminary exami
nation of each applicant for the pur
pose of ascertaining the present
scholarship qualifications of the stu
dent desiring to enter the contest.
The award of $200 given the successful-contestant
will serve as pay
ment for the private instruction un
der Mr. Carl Beutel, director of the
Wesleyan Conservatory, and such
theoretical training in class as may
be deemed advisable. The public
contest was held yesterday morn
ing at 10 o'clock in the Wesleyan
auditorium. The preliminary ex
aminations will be held on Friday
afternoon, November 8, at 4 o'clock.
The contest is open only to students
who are residents of Nebraska.
Appogiatures.
Another famous European or
chestra made its American debut
last week when the Societe des Con
certs du Conservatoire de Paris
played in New York, under the
auspices of the French government
itself. The New York Post says it
gave one of the most enjoyable
concerts ever heard in that city,
which means a great deal. : Its pres
ent tour will include some 50 cities.
M. Messager is the director.
Eric Delamarter, conducting the
Chicago Symphony orchestra dur
ing the absence or Mr. Mock, re
ceived an ovation at his initial ap
pearance. Charley Hamilton, 815 East Twenty-ninth
street, Los Angeles, has
written some new and up-to-date
war words for "Tramp, Tramp,
Tramp, the Boys Are Marching,"
and has published the song with
them. Mr. Hamilton, before being
overtaken by ill health, was a mem
ber of the 20th Kansas, Company E,
and was well acquainted with many
of the boys of the First Nebraska.
The Nebraska . State ( Music
Teachers' association is planning to
change its date df meeting from
April 21, 22 and 23 to March 31,
April 1 and 2, 1919, in order to in
clude the piano recital by Josef
Hofmann, which will take place in
Lincoln during the same week.
The music department of Omaha
Woman's club will give a program
of Russian and Polish music in re
cital form Wednesdav, November
13, at 3:30 p. m. at Y. W. C. A. au
ditorium. This meeting is open to
the public and all lovers of music
and the dance are cordially invited.
The program is in charge of Mrs.
Ray J. Abbott. The following mem
bers will take part: Miss Gertrude
Ann Miller, Mrs. Edward Morearty,
Miss Evelyn Ledwich, Miss Delia
Erixson, Miss Julia Stenika, Miss
Nina Garrett and Miss Edith Miller.
"For the Boys Over There" is the
title of the official song of the
United War Work campaign. The
words are by Gus Kahn, and the
music is by Egbert Van Alstyne. It
is a lively march tune with quite an
infectious swing in the melody of
the -catchy chorus. Its sentiment is
summed up in the last two lines, "So
let's all get together for the boys
over there, and give, give, give!" It
is much more spontaneous than
many of the war songs which have
been written for the present con
flict. The Bee is the best paper in Ne
braska. Ask th mui wka
"HEAR WOMEN: If there ever
was a definite need for this beau
tiful festival of love and thought
fulness for others, that need is this
year.
So we are going to have Christmas
just the same as ever with all the
good Christmas spirit. Mixed, no
doubt, with a good bit more senti
mentand perhaps heartache than
ever before.
But while retaining all its senti
ment let's put Christmas on a "war
basis" like all the rest of the things
that are part and parcel of our daily
lives.
Let's buy sensible, practical pres
ents. The government urges us to.
We are buying them early, and
we're making out our lists and doing
some of our Christmas shopping
each week, from now on, until it's
all done. Let's above all ship them
early. Parcels for tha boys in
France the little 9x3 boxes with
their precious freight must go be
fore November 15. And Uncle Sam
has asked us all to ship our out-of-town
presents before December 5.
A mobilization of Christmas to a
degree never before dreamed of,
my dears, with everybody helping!
Fur Coats The Latest Word in the
Fashion World.
NOT ordinary coats, madame.
Mais, non! The wraps which
Aulabaueh. the furrier, Eighteenth
and Farnam, is designing and fash
ioning in Hudson seal, nutria (both
natural and taupe), squirrel and
beaver. Snugly enfolding are they,
gloriously comforting wraps perfect
from "snuggy" collar of contrast
ing fur to lining of a blended tint
ing exquisite indeed. Furs from
this shop have long been noted for
the skillfulness of designing and
cutting, in the becomingness of line.
For they're all made to order in the
mode best fitted to your figure, with
the fur next to the face, which is
most becoming. The very newest
coats are from 30 to 36 inches in
length (short, in keeping with the
very newest silhouette) and are the
most light and airy warmth-giving
garments imaginable!
In the Old Days Washing Meant
Rubbing
BUT in these enlightened days de
voted to wartime activities you
can let the Laundry Queen do your
washing for you without touching
the water yourself, and without lift
ing a tub. All you have to do is
to put the clothes into the tub, take
them out of the basket and hang
them out on the line.
Really it is as easy as it sounds.
Mrs. Williams, at the E. B. Wil
liams Electric Shop, 312 South
Eighteenth street, demonstrated this
washing machine to me very care
fully, and . has so many excellent
points that I'm going to tell you a
few. First of all, the tub rack rests
on casters, so that it moves about
practically by itself. There is a
wooden or copper tub which rests
on a frame of steel which has
an extension rack for the rins
ing tub. The dolly is attached
to the lid (no machinery in
the tub), and when the lid is raised
the machine stops. Shift the lid
over the rinsing tub, and as if by
magic, the dolly gives expert service
in rinsing the most delicate fabrics.
I noticed particularly the almost hu
man dousing motion of this smooth
dolly. To save time, operate both
the washer and wringer at the same
time. Can you imagine anything
more welcome in your home?. Let
them demonstrate it for you.
Have you laid in a supply of "Shop
and Ship Early. Do Not Open Un
til Christmas" pasters?
Wise Indeed
IS my little friend who has in
herited quite a large amount of
nrnnirtv also StOCk in
several different companies, tor
she is taking an inclusive business
course and is preparing herself to
handle her business interests inde
pendently. She is taking courses in
commercial law. bookkeeping and
typewriting, with greatest enthusi
asm, and says that she has already
learned things most valuable to her.
Whether we have much or little
money, don't you think knowledge
of business matters would be valu
able to us all through our lives? We
can do everything so much more
intelligently and safely. This is the
best time in the world for us all to
show what we're made of, to develop
our latent capabilities. Boyles co -lege
Eighteenth and Harney, will
be glad to help you plan a business
course suited to your needs if you 11
call or write, or I'll be most happy
to send you a booklet.

Re-creation of Music Indeed.
WHY it is the hardest thing in
the world to tell the difference
between the music and its re-creation!
If you haven't heard the New
Edison, at the Rouse Edison Parlor,
Twentieth and Farnam (entirely
different from the ordinary victrola).
you'll be amazed at the results
which Mr. Edison has attained in
this instrument. I believe you will
understand a little bit about its
wondrous re-creating quality when
I tell you that the Edison has no
"tone" of its own. It does not want
or need any, it simply and wonder
fully reproduces perfectly every
tone and shade of tone which it
hears. Thursday morning I spent a
whole hour listening to records
,.,1,1, . cnlpndid tests. When
you visit the Edison Parlors, if
youd like to hear tne same ius;t
which I enjoyed, ask for Ave Maria
v.. i7;io Momnl with violin ODU-
uy utua j. a
gato, overture from "Poet and I eas-
ant," by the American aympnony
orchestra, a Medley of Southern
;nniri hv th Ornheus auartet. I'd
like very much to send you a book
let showing the dittereiu aesigns
enf this instrument
in the different sixes and woods,
Make the New Seams an Asset!
THE other day when I was in the
pany's work room, 300 Brown build
ing, one of the girls was' very skill
fully camouflaging the seams of a
brown crepe de chine and brocaded
dress by hemstitching the seams.
They were truly a decoration in
stead of something to be hidden.
Add a distinctive touch of individ
uality to your new frock by a bit
o' embroidery or beading, perhaps
Loth. Or if you'd like an unusual
touch, let these artful people pleat
a panel or two for your dress, or
blouse. I'll be glad to take your
materials up to them, selecting pat
terns which I think you'd like. Let
me send their book of pictures and
prices or send tc them direct.

Artistry of Imaginative Beauty.
IS embodied in the cameos shown
by the C. B. Brown company,
jewelers, 220 South Sixteenth St.
Wondrously cut from onyx
through which there ran a vein of
white, are the heads of the two
Grecian goddesses, Dolores, and
Flora. Truly cutting of perfect
symmetry and lightness. There's a
personality about them, too, which
characterizes the work of the ar
tist whocut them, Schmitz. now of
Chicago," who was with Tiffany &
Co., New York, for 40 years.
These cameos of fairy beauty, are in
settings worthy indeed, lacey plat
inum, diamonds, green gold with
platinum ornamentation, and pearls,
So distinctive is this artist's work,
that I was able to recognize instant
ly his handiwork in scarf pins of
dainty beauty. For those who like
particularly the rose tone of coral,
there are lovely cameos in pins and
shirtwaist rings. Then there are
also cameos cut from conch shells,
in most graceful cuttings. (These
have a brown tone, usually). For
cameos. (Polly's just found out)
means simply a raised head or figure
cut from stone or shell.
A girdle bow of fur distinguishes
a Worth gown.
Hand-y Articles.
THE unconscious charm of
smooth, white hands is univer
sally acknowledged! And I've dis
covered, through the kind offices of
Mrs. Humphrey, who is in charge
of the Franco-American shop, 772
Brandeis building, two most
"hand-y" articles. Balmygiene, 60c,
is a lovely greaseless creamy liquid
most soothing, to be applied at any
time of the day after washing one's
hands. Keep a bottle of it at home
and another bottle in the office if
you're a business woman. You can
handle the most delicate fabrics
after applying it, for it's not the least
bit sticky. To keep the cuticle
round the nails firm, to prevent
hangnails, and keep them from be
coming dry and brittle, or white
spotted, there's Agnaline at 30c.
Then there's Lustergiene, 30c, in
stant polish, doesn't scratch; Nail
giene to remove stains, 30c; orange
wood sticks, buffers, scissors, files
and emery boards. Don't you like
these "hows" to look your best the
Franco-American way?
These Will Make Their Eyes
Twinkle!
I'VE found just the thing to bring
joy to khaki hearts in the train
ing camps, and trenches during the
hours of relaxation. For some time
I've heard that there is nothing
which creates the amusement and
recreation as puzzles, and the Alia
Shop, 207 South Eighteenth street,
have just stacks of real "puzzley"
puzzles which just make your
fingers itch to solve them. There's
a bronze ring with a spring; intri
cate, oh my yes! try it yourself!
Three horseshoes, of a curiousness,
so mixed are they, a Loop the Loop,
Two Keys (most uncannily joined),
a Chinese Wooden Combination of
tiny oblong blocks which are joined
to form a cross (I beg of you, be
careful how you take it apart!) an
Fvr1nctincr ninnpr a Bowl and
Ball. You would be most dis
couraged if it weren't for the fact
that you've the moral support of a
card of directions which may be sur
reptitiously glanced at from time to
time. These puzzles are packed in
"versey" boxes, attractive indeed,
and range in price from 30c to 50c.
Really the boys in khaki love them
and have sent back the word, "Send
bushels of puzzles"
Distinctive Dress Fabrics
A RE sought each season for
quality, exquisite coloring and
fashion influence by establishments
fulfilling the requirements of Amer
ica s best dressed women. The
Brandeis Stores ' Fabrics depart
ment have a showing of plain and
fancy weaves from the best Euro
pean and American sources for
suits, frocks, blouses, kimonos,
fancy bags, scarfs, etc. What could
be more lovely for gifts? I'd de
light to tell you the amount needed
and will give a few I've thought
of. Silk shirting, for both men and
women, in the famous broadcloth
silk, in smart stripes, of blue, gold,
rose, violet and black, dainty, dis
tinctive, 32 and 36 inches wide at
$2.25 a yard. It takes from 2 to 2
yards for a shirtwaist. Bright
kimono silks, in both light and
dark colors, in dull silks at $1.25
and the satin finish at $1.69. It will
take 5 yards for a kimono. The
chiffon velvets in blacks, browns,
and taupe, make lovely scarfs and
bags, with soft linings and saucy
tassels. There are two widths of
velvet, one at $3.00 and a very wide
for $6.50. For the woman who de
lights in the fashioning of her
lingerie, there are delightful wash
satins, in white and pink, 36 to 40
inches wide at $1.69 and $2.50 a
yard, also crepe de chine 40 inches
wide for $1.39 to $2.50 a yard. 111
take pleasure in wrapping them in
gay tissues and ribbons before
sending them out. They'll look
very "Christmasy."

An Organized Attack on Dirt and
Germs
IS the flotilla of auto delivery
cars lined up in front of
Dresner Bros., 2211 Farnam street,
which I see every morning as I
come down town on the car. Their
service is prompt indeed and de
pendable. They will give you ex
pert advice on cleaning and dyeing.
Send a shabby garment to them,
and you may be assured that at
very little expense extra the gar
ment will be restored to its fresh
ness, and will be returned to you
mended, hooks and snappers re
placed, buttons tightened, and if
you send them with the garment,
they will be sewed on! Wouldn't
you enjoy this service? They pay
return charges on all out-of-town
shipments which is good news to
many people.
Bows once more give height to
the turban of downward tilt.
"Aristocracy Among Drug Stores."
I WAS caught in the neighborhood
of the new Jacobs-Lee Drug
store, Fifteenth and Douglas, the
other day, and dropped in for one
of their delicious luncheonettes. My
dears! Such a surprise really quite
a comprehensive luncheon and most
charmingly served. A number of
people have remarked upon the
splendid location of the new Rialto
drug store, a location for your con
venience, Mr. and Mrs. Omaha!
With entrances on Fifteenth street
and on Douglas in the lobby of the
Rialto theater. The candy and cigar
cases are on either side of the lobby
entrance, so that you can step in
for a purchase without losing your
place in the line at the ticket win
dow. Service, is it not? Leave your
prescriptions to be filled while you
are in the theater. They will re
ceive the same excellent attention
we have enjoyed for so long at the
Jacobs-Lee Drug store on Seven
teenth and Douglas, for the two
stores are under the same manage
ment, you know.
Gifts of Character Odd Bits of
Furniture.
DY STUDYING the character and
individual requirements of your
friends' hoffifcs, you will be able to
select giftsm original and lasting
beauty from the window of the Or
chard & Wilheim Co.'s store, South
Sixteenth street, w'here are displayed
odd pieces which truly reflect "the
spirit of the home," so lasting is
their beauty. A beauty indeed as
lasting as home itself. There are
quaint console tables, overhung by
mirrors in colonial frames; Windsor
chairs, sewing boxes and cabinets,
with cunningly contrived compart
ments, mahogany chests in period
styles lined with Tennessee cedar,
secretaries, pedestals, hall chairs,
sewing rockers, taborcts, and many
other pieces that are always useful
in the home and not necessarily the
part of a suite- but complete in
themselver
Looking One's Best Is a Matter of
Preparedness,
Preparedness in ail things
that make for a perfect toilette
should be the matter of first con
sideration to every woman. Not
the least is the matter of one's
corset. Rather we should say that it
is the first in importance. I do want
you to let Mrs. D. A. Hill, the cor
set specialist, fit you with vour
next corset. Do you know that she
has on her list of patrons women
of the best and oldest families of
Omaha whom she has been fitting
for the last eight years? If you
will visit her shop, 205 Neville
block, she will give you advice
which is most scientific, and she
will fit you, artistically and scien
tifically in a model so carefully de
signed that it will fit perfectly
whether you are standing, walking,
sitting, stooping or dancing. If you
can't call at this time, send us your
measurements, and a letter disclos
ing such defects as you would like
to have benefited, and we will send
you a corrective corset. I have
some of Mrs. Hill's illustrated fold
ers showing the results of some of
her fittings which I'-ll send you
upon request. They're most help
ful. Belts of black patent or russet
leather give most novel emphasis
for the smart tailleur.
Gifts to Reflect the Spirit of the
Giver.
THE Art department of the A.
Hospe Music Store, 1513 Doug
las street, are showing lovely prints,
reproductions of famous pictures,
both framed and unframed. Select
one of these and have it framed to
suit your individual taste, you'll find
all of the frames in newest carvings
and color tones, and a framing ser
vice excellent indeed. They are
showing captivating standards for
photographs in gold, mahogany, and
soft gray with burnishing of gold.
I was particularly charmed with
their small pictures, in wide ma
hogany frames for $2, setting forth
the beauty of studies made from
many of the best pictures in the
world of art. Others in antique
frames are reproductions of tinted
French prints. Charmingly unusual!
Veils Beauty's Lure
WHICH I saw at Thompson-Bel-den's,
Sixteenth and Howard.
The new veils are altogether charm
ing and infinitely becoming. Fine
silk meshes, round or square, and filet
meshes hold designs in delicate trac
ery, butterflies, vines, either at the
lower edge or on one side of the face.
In black, white, navy blue, taupe,
gray (really a black and white mix
ture called Magpie veiling).
They're very attractive, and range
in price from 30 cents to $1.25. The
chiffon bordered veils are still good,
and are exceedingly becoming as
the border gives a needed finish to
a low-necked blouse when the coat
is thrown back. Automobile veils
in "dashing" colors are joyous in
deed. They're generously made,
three yards long and 30 inches wide,
of georgette with heavy woven band
around the edge and cost from $1.75
to $3.95 each. You'd love the ex
quisitely made lace scarfs, priced
from $9.75 to $30.00. Evening
scarfs in exotic colors, purple, gold,
cerise, of crepe de chine and georg
ette are especially made to create
ecstacies of joy in girlish hearts,
and may be bought for $1.25 up to
$5. Of old-time charm, the scented
scarf has a dreamy beauty. After
all, a veil is a thing' of mystery I
luring. Therein lies its charm!

Tired Business Men and Women.
HAVEN'T you often had your
afternoon's work handicapped
by the eating of a poorly prepared

tic days, is the privilege of be
ing able to sit down comfortably
and quietly in the "homey" atmos
phere of soft-toned hangings, rugs
and wicker furniture of the Lamond
Shop, second floor, Securities build
ing, to view at leasure the garments
shown. This week they're having
a most amazing reduction in the
prices of tailored suits. There are
navy blue suits at one-third their
original price (making a price range
from $19.75 to $29.50.) And all of
their most exclusive suits are being
shown at prices from $15 to $25
less than you saw them for last
week. If you're patriotically pru
dent, you will I'm sure take ad
vantage of these prices!
Fancy Bags are exceedingly "Hoity
Toity."
HEY are hand-made and rich
indeed, and come in a riot of
colors in all shapes. The Nebraska
Clothing store's millinery depart
ment, Fifteenth and Farnam, have a
varied and astonishingly beautiful
line of these voguish bags to suit
every need and use, and to act as
an accessory for every costume.
There's a taupe suede bag in soft
folds, with odd clasps. The long
handle and inside of the bag are
lined with heavy corded silk. A
navy blue chiffon velvet bag has
rosy-posy lining of taffeta. A black
velvet bag with drop top, haj cut
steel beaded design. Its neighbor,
a royal purple velvet, has chenille
tassel. One of flack silk has tassel
of dull black beads. In all of these
there are unusual mirrors, long and
oval, attached by cords and chains,
also odd coin purses. Large, heavy
civet bags have mountings of tor
toise shell, while the leather bags
are smart indeed with stunning ac
cessories, pencils, shopping pads a' J
bill folders. There are purple leath
er bags and patent leather cases
with gold corners, even a scarlet
leather bag to brighten a gray or
taupe suit. "Bags" is the word, my
dears!
Comfort Kits That Cheer and
Hearten Boys in Camps at Home
and Abroad.
T0 YOU know that one of the
L officers in France wrote home
the other day and told his home
people that he had just "suffered for
a wash cloth," and that the package
which contained wash cloth and
soap was the most treasured of his
possessions? It's an absolute fact.
His mother told me so. I've just
found splendid kits which include
everything and wash cloths! They're
at the Megeath Stationery Co., 223
South Sixteenth street, the home of
military supplies, from insignia but
tons to chevrons! In cases of rub
berized material, pocketed to hold
all the comforts, there are kits, filled
and unfilled. Unfilled, they're ready
for the filling. Unfilled with 12 pock
ets, they may be filled with his pet
brand of toilet articles. These cost
$2. They are selling most of the $7
size, which contains a $3 razor,
shaving brush of best quality in
metal case Williams' talcum pow
der, dental powder and shaving
stick, pocket for mirror or wash
cloth, metal tooth brush container,
soap box, hair brush, clothes brush,
button hook, file and cuticle knife.
One for 50 cents more adds shoe
strings, memorandum book, match
safe, drinking cup, pipe, petroleum,
fountain pen, court plaster, buttons
in metal case, three spools of thread
(one black, two of khaki). Then
there's a $4 size not quite so inclu
sive, with unfilled metal cpntainers.

I'll send you the best for the money)

Briar Rose Crochet Books.
TT AVE you gotten your Briar
xx Rose Book yet? I've been
sending outjust stacks of them this
week, and have received many notes
of appreciation. Think of it they
are written by an Omaha woman.
Quite a distinction for our city isn't
it? For they are really the most
clever patterns for making all kinds
of "pretties" in this new rose de
sign. There's the Household num
ber, the Bride's number, and
Novelty number, all of them just
brimming with original gifts. Either
of them is 25c. (Some people have
ordered all three.) You can get
them from Polly or from the pub
lisher. Mrs. Anna Knopp Slater,
4305 South Twenty-second street.
