SOCIETY
All Omaha Helps to.
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. Twenty-one guests
were included in the party.
"Only four more shopping days before Christmas."

fZJ THE BEST
" ha irmnin
By GERTRUDE BERESFORD.
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.

rp HE superiority of Atwood
I- Grapefruit is not an acci
dent. From the first planting
the Atwood Grapefruit Co.
has sacrificed everything for
QUALITY. 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."

Simple, but Beautiful
Wedding Unites Omaha
Girl and Iowa Man
The delicate shades of bride's
roses massed against the dark green j
of palms and ferns formed a most
effective setting for the wedding ot
Miss Myrtle Fields, daughter of Mr
and Mrs. George W. Fields, to Mr.
Lewis L. Manner. The ceremonv
took place at the home of the
brides parents Wednesday after-;
noon, Rev. Titus Lowe reading the
marriage service. j
In a pretty gown of silver gray
the bride was most attractive, the
corsage of pink and white sweet ;
peas giving an artistic touch of
color to her costume.
Only the members of the family
were present and after an informal
wedding supper the young couple
left for the south as they will
spend the winter in New Orleans.

For the Fish Pan.
My family is very fond of broiled
mackerel, but the pleasure is lost
for the cook with the throught of
washing the ill-smelling broiler. My
husband suggested laying the fish
on a common wooden picnic plate
and then in turn on the broiler.
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.

Ft. 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.
Salvage Department of
the Red Cross Gets Big
Donation from Merchant
Clothing for men! Clothing for
women I Clothing for kiddies! 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. These plans
are well under way and we hope to
sell beautiful, new, merchandise to
our patrons."
Hundreds of other donations will
be on sale at the same time, and
Mrs. Adams expects to make it one
of the big affairs of the season, j
YY'ill Thomas of the Brandeis
stores wrote the following appeal
for the Red Cross membership cam
paign: The boys have done lt "over there;"
li's now up to ue to do our share.
Thty have ellenred every murderous s:un,
And will guard the enemy for some time
to come.
But the horrible destruction that ha been
done
Must be replaced at a mighty sum.
And tho families separated from one an
other Will be brought together by the World'a
Greatest .Mothr.
There are cities and towjis that must be
built anew.
And the relief of poor Belgium must rest
with you.
To share your burden of this great losa
We ask ONE DOLLAR for the American
Red Cross.

Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
To "Miserable Cast-OfT."
Your letter is. Indeed, pathetic.
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.

The Cheney
Phonograph-'
Surpasses Everything .
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.
Just as the Cheney Machine, excels in its purity and beauty of tone, so does it surpass all others
in cabinet beauty. The various period models rank high in artistic merit. A wide range of prices
to suit all pocketbooks.
Term of payment arranged to suit your convenience.
