Give Our Boys at Fort Crook a Glad Xmas Christmas cheer for soldier boys f;ir from home now fills the minds and hearts of Omaha women. The plans of the Service League to give each man stationed at Fort Crook a t'ii't box lias met with hearty ac cord and now the quota has been more than filled. Mrs. T. J. Mackay holds the record for in dividual elfort for she has packed 150 boxes with goodies. The mem bers of the Comrade club have also contributed 150 boxes. Even the children have become interested and the two daughters of Dr. E. T. Man ning have the distinction of making the two most artistic boxes yet re ceived. Tiny Christmas seals and pictures were cut by these little maids and skillfully pasted on the outside until one almost forgets to lift the lid the exterior is so pretty. All that now remains to make these little packages complete is the beautiful Christmas card which will be slipped beneath the ribbonson the cover. The Service League mem bers will meet in the League rooms Saturday morning to give the fin ishing touches. The cards which were made in New York are most artistic a group of the allied flags at the top. the insignia of the League in one corner and in the other a pretty girl in the League unir'o-m with her hand raised in salute. Aside from the Christmas wish there appears in gold lettering the inspiring motto, "For God, for Country, For Home." Ropes of green and masses of bril liant holly will transform the K. C. hut at Fort Crook into a bower of beauty Monday evening when the Christmas party will take place. About 15 of the Service League members will be present and when the last candle on the huge Christ mas tree has winked out and each happy man in khaki has received his holly-bedecked box the officers' wives and members of the commit tee who labored so arduously to make the affair a success will be en tertained at an informal coffee at the quarters of Major and Mrs. R. L. Hamilton. Dinner Party. A little military dinner was given Wedensday evening at the I3!ack stone by the editorial staff of the "Gas Bag," the official newspaper of Fort Omaha.

A lovely dress for a young girl, or for her older sister, is illustrated in this frock of blue tricotine. The dress itself is the plainest blouse and skirt, save for a slashing of the front which closes over a narrow vest of white charmeuse, to which the blouse is buttoned with black bone buttons and bound button holes. The skirt is made with the straight line chemise fashion. A scarf of black charmeuse satin em broidered in wool flowers in vivid shades of rose, blue, green and yel low, gives the touch of smartness to this dress. A "dog collar" belt of black leather studded with silver nail heads holds the waistline. A black satin turban with upturned brim embroidered to match the apron is a charming accessory of this costume. Athletic Club Open to Women as Well as Men Under the New Regime A survey of the new Athletic club proves to the onlooker that this beautiful new edifice was built not only for the tired business man but for ladies as well. The announce ment in the society columns of an enterprising local paper that women would not be admitted to the main dining room without an escort is denied by Mrs. George Brandeis, who is one of the most active of the faminine members of the club. On opening day, owing to the crowds, this rule was made, but now all luncheon parties may be given in the dining room if the hostess so wishes.

An initial expense of hundreds of thousands of dollars was incurred, while everything that scientific cul ture and experience could suggest was done to produce QUALITY. Even then some trees at maturity bore simply good grapefruit, but not good enough for the Atwood Brand. These trees were cut down and replaced by superior va rieties. So through selection and cultivation has evolved the delicious ATWOOD GRAPE FRUIT "the Aristocrat of the Breakfast Table."

The result was a whole fish, unbrok en in taking it off the broiler, and no disagreeable tk after the meal, since the wooden plate can be burned when the meal is finished. December Good Housekeeping.

Crook to Have Little Warren Pershing as Christmas Guest Fort Crook is to be honored dur ing the Chrjstmas season with the presence of little YY'arren Pershing, son of General Petshitig, com- mander of the American Expedi tionary Forces in France. He and his cousin will be the guests ot $aj. and Mrs. R. L. Hamilton. He will be an interested helper at the ! Christinas festival to be given the I soldiers by the Woman's Service : league. I Nebraskans take a very keen and special interest in this boy, and are proud to think that while his father is giving such illustrious service : abroad, he is growing up here nean : them. On Christmas eve I dare say the and his father will be doing much ' the same sort of thing; helping the i soldiers away from home and lami- ly to pass some happy hours, j Madame T. L, Kimball, who is known for her great love for chil dren, will pack Warren's Christmas box with her own hands and make several gifts which will go into it. Madame Kimball is 86 'years "young" and it is safe to say that there will be some nice surprises. The children of the post and the soldiers will celebrate their holiday together. It will be a blessed time with the gift of peace in the air, and dreams of home soon to be real ized. , The little figure of Yrarren Persh ing lends a special significance to Christmas at Fort Crook. Polish Up Your Buttons I have found a way to restore fine pearl buttons to their former color and luster after they have been used many times and repeated wash ings have dulled their fine sheen. First wash them with warm water and soap-suds, then dry and polish with a nail buffer and a cake of nail polish. Now that it is difficult to get the finer quality of button, this method of renovation is most satis factorythe buttons look like new after the treatment.

This is what Mrs. Frank Adams, chair man salvage department of the Red Cross, is announcing since the huge donation YY'ednesday by Byrne Hammer Dry Goods company. "When we learned that these wholesale merchants were going to donate something," said Mrs. Adams, "we had no idea that more than a small corner of our great Red Cross truck would be tilled. But when it rolled up, loaded to the very top, with men's and women's clothing, apparel for children, no tions, oh! just everything that is carried in an establishment of this kind, we were so delighted that our plans began to shape themselves in the form of a big sale.

Usually mothers are well-meaning souls and know better than their young children right from 'wrong. In your case, however, the mother hardly deserves the sacred name she bears "mother." Do not commit suicide. If you cannot reason with your mother and get her to treat you more human, can you not live apart from her? Only in extreme cases do I advise this, but it seems a pity for one so young' to suffer as you do. About the young man: Do as you please out marrying him; your mother should be ashamed to try to force the marriage. If you are earning your own living, surely you could pay board in some nice family. Family Ridicules Him. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a girl of 21 and have been Roing about with a young man three years my senior for six months. He is in the navy. Still, my mother and brothers are always taunting me because he doesn't take me out like other men. They also make fun of me because he is a sailor, and tell me if I ever marry him he will not be able to support me. Now, Miss Fairfax, I am very much in love with him. Please tell me what I should do. HEARTBROKEN. It Is a pleasure to hear from a girl who has such a loyal, sturdy spirit. I hope your relatives are not serious in ridiculing your sailor lover be cause he Is poor, but, In any case, I think they will grow tired of doing so in time if they find you are not influenced by it. The ability to en tertain a girl expensively counts for very little in comparison with other qualities In a man, and I am glad you understand tnls. An Answer.

Else of Its Kind Dr. Edward Dickinson, head of the Department of History and Criticism of Music of Oberland College, one of the most fa mous authorities in the world on music, has this to say of the Cheney Machine: "The reproduction given by the Cheney is decidedly superior to anything that I have ever heard from other machines. The qual ity of the original voice is well preserved and there is a gratifying absence of any unmusical noise from its mechanisms." Georgian Model, Style 5 $225.00 Mahogany, Walnut or Oak The tone of the Cheney is exceptionally soft and rich in quality, the squeak and squawk, that has been so objectionable in other makes of phonographs, has been eliminated and that disagreeable scfatching sound from the needle has been prac tically done away with.
