A week or two ago a dancing party was given at the Fontenelle and 30 fortunate ones were selected from an evening class room to attend the dance. The minds of those left behind wan dered from their books and thoughts of revenge began to loom large. The chosen few who danced with Omaha's pretty girls until a late hour returned to find their bar racks resembling a Belgian village after the entry of the Hun. All the cots were piled into one great heap, while the baggage was carelessly tossed on top of that Lights were out. of course, military regulations snuff them out very early and alas for the weary men who had tastedj of a little pleasure. According to an eyewitness no light was needed however, for the atmosphere was so charged with electricity that fur ther illumination was unnecessary. Feminine Omaha will have cause to remember these knights of the white band for their chief pastime when not trying to figure why the hills ran up hill, was to "jolly" the canteen girls. On attractive young woman, wishing to be sympathetic, remarked how cold it must be to make flights in the chilly November mornings. "Oh, no, it isn't," said one cadet without a smile, "we have steam heated baskets." Poot Ball Committee. A committee of attractive young women have pledged their services to make the Fort Omaha-St. Paul Aviation Machanic school foot ball game Saturday afternoon a huge success. The girls are selling tickets for the game and numerous box parties are being planned. The mem bers of. the committee include Misses Erna Reed, Kathryn Gard ner, Claire Helene Wtfodard, Mil dred Tood, Elsie Storz and Mar garet Williams. Box seats have been reserved by Mrs. C. T. Kountze, Mrs. A. L. Reed, Mrs. Joseph Barker, M. C. Veters, Frank Johnson, Clark Coit, Glenn Wharton, George Brandeis, Carpenter Paper company, Joseph Baldridge, Frank Berkeley, Howard Baldrige, Edward Creighton, Harry Doorly and Burgess-Nash company. Victory Ball Plans. ' Whether formal evening dress will be worn at the Victory ball to be given December 7 for the benefit of the Child Saving institute is a vital question to many who are planning to attend. Mrs. Charles Coats Growing Longer By GERTRUDE BERESFORD. The length of a coat these days seems to be governed only by height of the lady who is to wear it. The tendency is, however, toward the coat long enough to become a tunic line or the jacket short enough to have that youthful air, sometimes called 'liaunty." This model of navy velour with trimmings of gray wool is a striking example of these long coats. The double breasted front is cut away to give the effect of a waistcoat. The skirt of the coat is attached to the upper part with row of cording. Tiny tucks hold the fullness into the long waistline. The reveres may be fastened ov to form a high collar, closing around the throat. In this case the fur col lar fastens snugly under the chin. Deep cuffs of wool complete the long tight sleeves. The long nar row skirt of this suit is gathered to a belt, with only a little fullness. A "Napoleon" hat of gray velvet is worn with this costume. It is trim med with a cockade of navy and French blue gros grain ribbon. WE KIDDIES- H Jj Sunshine i&ilrwJ GrUHAM(hCKRSg fvv&SS THI BEST "WWCAROHI f 1 III T.

Those who wish to wear evening gowns may do so but the more informal after noon frocks and even a tailord dress or two will no doubt be much in evidence at the dance.

CHAPTER VI. The Phantom Army Fights. PEGGY rushed back to the shell hole, where Billy Belgium, with the captured machine gun, held theGerman soldiers prisoners. She had remembered seeing boxes of hand grenades among the German supplies. Now she dug down into these grenades, taking all she could carry. "What are you going to do?" asked Billy Belgium. "We're going to clear the way for the American army," replied Peggy. The Germans were astonished when they saw the grenadees moving about, apparently by themselves. Some of those who had got tired of holding their hands in the air now shot them higher than ever, and kept up a murmur of "Kameradl Kam erad!" ?eggy told her plan tc Billy. It was to march the German prisoners to'a level place below the shell hole, where they could be guarded by Ben and Bill, while site and Billy brought up all the grenades and ammunition On the short march Peggy guard- vember 30, 1917. eL.. n.iPriaV"e Wltn. 8fenaa Find another Englishman. wiiuc xiuiy, uiucu oy a prisoner, iook along the machine gun.

"Now we can lick all these Ger mans," declared Ben. - "Let's give them a chance to sur render first," suggested Peggy. "We will have the sergeant tell them they are attacked by a phantom army and advise them to quit." "That's a good idea," Bill ad mitted reluctantly; "but I sure would like to shake 'em up a bit with these grenades." 1 "We'll do that if they don't sur- ituuci iigut away, aasiu i eggy. "We are pretty good base ball players and can throw these gre nades into all the nests, except those up on the other side of the ra vine," said Ben. "I'll clean out those nests," volun teered Billy Belgium. "They can't see me." This arrangement was agreed upon. Billy told the sergeant just what he was to shout to his fellow soldiers in the other nests, and Ben, who understood German, said he would see that the instructions were carried out. Then Billy made his way with a bunch of grenades to a point where he could look down into the ma chine gun nests on the farther side of the ravine. Homer Pigeon went with him to act as his runner, Soon Homer came flying back with word that Billy was ready, , The German sergeant now walked out "to a high rock where he could look down on his comrades beneath He carried a piece of white cloth, which he waved vigorously. We have been captured by a phantom American army," he shout ed. "This army is all about us. It threatens to blow you all up if you don t surrender immediately. The German soldiers in the other shell holes looked up in wonder. Then they began to laugh loudly. "Are you crazy?" they shouted back in German. "If the Americans come we will make them all phan toms." "Tell them again to surrender," cried Ben. The sergeant hesitated. Peggy, who was behind him, gun in hand, gave him a little jab with the bayonet. "Kameradl Kameradl" he shrieked. "Surrender quick 1" The soldiers below laughed again. "Jump back here, Princess Peggy," shouted Bill, and as Peggy obeyed, he threw a grenade with all his strength. It landed among a crowd of jeering soldiers in a shell hole be low. There was a burst of smoke, and the Germans vanished. Then fol lowed a regular bombardment, Ben and Bill throwing grenades as fast as they could. Bursts from across the ravine showed that Billy Belgium also was busy, This bombardment took the Ger mans utterly by surprise. Those left alive were terror-stricken. White flags shot up everywhere, followed by soldiers holding up their hands and shouting "Kamerad!" In a re markably short time every German in the ravine was rounded up. In re sponse to orders from the sergeant, YESTERDAYS ANSWER Left side down rye at chin. they marched up the hill and joined the gang of prisoners at the top. "Now if the Americans attacked they would find the way clear," shouted Ben. "Then tell them to come on," cried Peggy. "Here are Homer and Car rie Pigeon eager to carry the mes sages." So it was done. The Pigeons darted away, And soon after they were gone came a great shout far below. Peggy, looking down, saw American soldiers coming up the ravine as fast as they could climb At the top of the hill stood the Ger mans in deadly fear of the Phantom Army, shouting "Kameradl Kam eradl" "I guess our work is done," said Billy Belgium. And as he said it there was a quick flurry, and lo and behold I Peggy found herself safely back in her own bed at home. (In next week's story, Peggy has queer adventure with the Imagination Stone.) Select Christmas Books for Children at Library A display of books for juveniles, as an aid to Christmas selection, has been arranged by Miss Kate Swartz- lander of the childrens room in the public library.' The purpose is to aid parents in selecting reading matter best suited for children. In addition to the books on dis play, Miss Swartzlander has com piled reading lists and guides which will help. Parents will appreciate the innovation, which gives them the advantage of expert advice on choosing books for children. Riveting Improves Hog Island's experience has shown that riveting can be steadily improved, even by experienced iournevmen riveters, provided the men realize the necessity for con sistent and sustained effort in turn insr out work. In the month of October, the average number of rivets driven per hour by the gangs at the yards ad. vanced almost steadily from 19 to 26, and even the student riveters im proved their average from 11 or 12 an hour to 16. The best record in an October week was made by Yard No. 9, with an average drive of 36.9 rivets an hour for each gang. Yard No. 10 followed close with an average ol 34 rivets each hour. Increased efficiency on the part of the riveters will soon, it is be lieved at the yard, lead to the ful fillment of Mr. Schwab's prediction that Hog Island would eventually be driving 200,000 rivets a day. Unable to find masculine labor, Mrs. Maggie V. Smith Hathaway for six years has successfully con ducted a large ranch near Helena.

One of our experts in industrial management believes that before the war. ends women will be needed by the hundred thousands, and we ought now to be planning for their training and safe guarding. Now is the time to pre pare and develop plans and policies. Every woman should make nerseii fit for war1 call at home or abroad. Health and strength are within t rip rfiwh of everv woman, and there is no better time than now to try an herbal tonic, which has had a half century of practical demonstration and; successful results m most oi tne rloIiratA derangements and weak nesses of women. It is the "Prescrip tion" of Vt. Fierce, used Dy mm in active practice many years, and I . i now sold by almost every aruggisi in tablet or liquid iorm. If it is a headache, a backache, a teaawoa oi imUDiiitror tiritcbiniicackaeo, and uncontrollable nervousness, something must be wrong with the head or back, a woman naturally says, but all the time the real trouble very often centers in the organs. In nine cases out of ten the seat of the difficulty is here, and a woman should take rational treatment for its cure. The disorder should be treated steadily and systematically with Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and the hygienic advice followed which Dr. Pierce gives free. For diseases from which women suffer, "Favorite Prescription" is a powerful restorative. During the last fifty years it has banished from the lives of tens of thousands of women the pain, worry, misery and distress caused by these diseases. Your neighbor could tell you.

The United States food adminis tration reminds us that the shortage of sugar need not interfere with the preservation of apples, for other sweeteners may be used, or the fruit pulp or juice may be canned without sugar and sweetened a lit tle at a time as it is used. Candied Apple. Select firm and perfect apples. Apples may be prepared by cutting in eights or in circles. Any syrup may be used sorghum, cane, corn or maple, or honey. Heat to the boiling point and add apple sec tions. Cook very slovly until ten der; cool slightly, drain completely in strainer or on fork and roll or dip in finely chopped cocoanut. Use as a confection or for dessert. . The process may be completed in one day, but fruit is not as candided. Other fruit may be prepared in the same way. Canned Apple Juice. Fill clean jars or bottles with fresh apple juice: adjust rubbers if jars are used and partially seal; in sert clean corks and tie in if bottles are used. Put in water bath or other canning apparatus and pro cess five minutes. Seal jars or dip corks of bottles in melted paraffin. Boiled Cider Apple Sauce. Boil sour apple cider until it forms a rather thick syrup; pare and slice sweet apples in sufficient quantity to equal - the original amount of cider. Add them to the cider. Cook the mixture until it is thick and 'clear. Then turn it into stone jars. It will generally keep without being sealed, but a good precaution is to cover the top with hot paraffin when the product is cold. This apple sauce maye be made in large quantities in the farm home at one time over an outdoors wood fire. A large iron kettle is often used, but because of the action f acid on iron, an enamel kettle is to be preferred. This sauce is a con servation product, in that no. sugar need be used but is not so from the fuel standpoint unless the back of a stove or a baseburner is used when the heat is primarily for other pur poses. Combating Nostalgia Homesickness, according to a western investigator, is one of the chief reasons why workmen do not remain on their jobs. H. M. Barratt writes in the Salt Lake Tribune some of the exper iences of Utah men who were brought from their native state to jobs in the east. The men had, many of them, never been away from home before, and the change was too much for them. A number of them threw up their jobs and went home. Homesickness in the case of some men is so severe as to become a dis ease, as physicians have long recog nized. The government plant is de veloping a means of acclimatizing men who show signs of nostalgia. The victims of the home-longing are given the widest latitude, and are given all the comforts that wel fare workers and the Y. M. C A. can provide them. Goodv advice from men who have already been through the mill, with the realization that their own dis tance from home is several thou sand miles less than that of the boys in France who are so sorely depend ent on them for support, generally banishes the feeling within a short time, and the erstwhile homesick man becomes one of the most com petent - and efficient men in the plant. i CorOperation Miss Cross will be very glad to receive suggestions for the home economics column or to answer, as far as she is able, any ques tion! that her readers may ask. plenty of water for one and one half hours. Have ready a very hot dish, and when the tripe and rabbit are thoroughly cooked, dish up by placing the rabbit in the center with tripe arranged all around it. Drain oil the liquor from the onions and save it. Melt two tablespoons of fat, rub with two tablespoons flour, add two cups milk, one-half teaspoon of salt and one-fourth teaspoon pep per. Add onions and stir thorough- ly. Pour over the rabbit and serve"" hot. Rabbit Soup. Add a little rice to the liquid from the rabbit, tripe and onions. Season to taste.- Serve piping hot.
