SOdETY Home and Friends and , Peaceful Pursuits Make Very Merry Christmas r With peace hanging high on the world's Christmas tree, we will all ' trim our own little individual fir quite brightly. Many of our boys will be in their home this Christ mas and many of them with a gift from Uncle Sam, just a piece of paper but, oh, it means so much! Home and friends and the peaceful pursuits once morel .It is for these returned victors that the girls will dress their prettiest. 4 They tell us that the trench eye hungers for chiffons and the sol dier wilt want Christmas just as it was before war darkened the world. We're singing a reformed version of the old Christmas carol which swings along like this, "Then bring your curls, ye merry, merry girls. The yule tog to its wearing." Never were our shops so filled with "lustrous things and never was there such iealousness. The satin gown seems to hold full sway. . One particularly youthful ; model combines two tones of ruby. s The apron front attached to the i shoulders, leaves the back perfectly plain. The buttons are of the same ' glowing shade of crystal and the long tassel is made of narrow satin : ribbon in the lighter shade. A cap of gray and ruby angora wool is worn with this pretty frock. Black satin is ever a favorite I We see it everywhere this year, in the ' tea rooms and at the matinee. A gown of such chicnessve saw the other day. Large buttons, and a double band oi angora around the skirt gave it a Parisian look. A cunning vestee of . white satin edged with a tiny band of the angora and spark ling beads of jet. The collar leans a bit'toward the Medici frill wrich is predicted , a great vogue next spring. The evening gowns this Yuletide are indeed creations. One glowed like the heart of a rose for its shade was just the same as the blossoms we find in our garden on a June day. Twinkling crystals trimmed the bodice and with an evening wrap of the same rosy shade and with its snug collar of gray fur the costume seemed the very embodi ment of the Christmas season. Mr. and Mrs. Ben Angell have given up their apartment in the Colonial and are moving to Los An geles where they will make their future home. Hundreds of women are now em ployed as -machinists and black smiths in the railroad shops at Sac ramento, Cal. . LIBERTY BONDS taken at full . market value in exchange for mer chandise. Harden Bros.

K Salute her, all ye Frigidsl" cried the herald on the wall of the palace. "Hail, Princess Peggy I Hail. Tamer of Giants," cried the crowd of glistening creatures within the gates, their tinkling voices sound ing like the music of silver bells. "Hail, hail!" echoed the icy walls. Peggy floated aiross the draw bridge and through the gates. ,,The glistening creatures opened a path and bowed low before her. Peggy, looking at them closely, saw that they were like icicles in tiny human shapes. Some were as handsome as Sprites, and some were as gro tesque as Goblins. All were nearly transparent, but they caught the re flected hues of the clouds and glowed with many colors. They made such a beautiful sight that Peggy would have liked to linger admiringly, but she feltaier self borne on by a gentle breeze into a huge vaulted throne room where sat in royal state Crystal, queen of the Snows. Peggy gasped when she saw the queenf Wondrous fair was the ruler of-the Snows, but it was the fairness of the snow itself. Her dainty form and features seemed carved out of a block of frozen whiteness and she was as fragile as a statue of ice. i- "Welcome to Cloudland, Princess Peggy," tinkled Queen Crystal. "Where is your Giant-taming charm?" "But. I haven't any Giant-taming charm," answered Peggy, much tak en aback at this abrupt question. "I said I hadn't when I read your message on the window pane." - 1 "Oh-my, oh-me, oh-my, sadly tinkled the Frigids who had crowd ed into the throne room after Peggy. "Tut. tut!" tinkled Uueen Crystal reprovingly at her subjects. "You may be sure it rnncess reggy hasn't a Giant-taming charm, ifi because she can handle the monsters without it." She turned to Peggy with a bright smile. "Come up, my dear, and share my throne. You'll need to rest a pit. ypure tackling a couple of terrors in Blooey and Blizzy." "Oh-me, oh-my, on-me, on-my, tinkled the Frigids mournfully, sounding just like Japanese wind bells. "Who are Blooey and Blizzy?" asked Peggy, little nervous chills beginning to run through her. Peggy Crept out ot tne ruins. Crash! A ereat chandelier hang ing from the ceiling fell to the floor, smashing to smithereens. -There came a great roar from somewhere below. Then the whole throne room shivered and shook and rocked like a shin in a storm sea. The walls cracked and great chunks dripped from the, vaulted root. Pep-irv was hurled from the throne, but as she was only a breath of air, she aid not nun , nerseu. Queen Crystal went flying .back ward, and Peggy expected to see her broken to bits. Fortunately, how ever, she landed right on top of a 1 Goodies Macaroni with Lima Beans 2,220 total calories, 250 protein calories.

Dried beans may also be used, by soaking over night and cooking until tender. soft pile of Snow Elves, who rushed to catch her. "That was them," tinkled the queen as the shaking ceased and she climbed back on her throne, brush ing the clinging Snow Elves aside as she did so. "Who? What?" cried Peggy, for getting that she had already asked a question before the commotion began. "Why, Blooey and Blizzy, of course, tinkled tlje queen a bit sharply. "No one else is mean enough or strong enough to upset things the way they do." "Oh-me, oh-my, oh-nry,- oh-my," wailed the Frigids, tinkling loudly as they swarmed over the walls and up to the roof, repairing the, damage that had been done. , 'It's really very annoyingthe way they muss things up," complained the queen. "And right now it's par ticularly aggravating because we are very, very busy transforming Rain Drops into Snow Elves, and send ing them to earth to blanket the fields." "Do they shake things up in this awful way often," whispered Peggy in an awe,d voice. " . "Every time one of them wins a game of checkers," answered the queen. 'That's the way they cele brate." t . 1 - ' ; "Only celebrating a game " of checkers!" Peggy gasped. "But this isn't much. You ought to see them on a real rampage. 'It's to stop that we want you to tame them." Bang! Thump! Crash! Again the whole plaoe shook. It was lifted up, whirled around,, and came down with a smashing bump. The walls tottered, and the ceiling collapsed. The throne room was a complete, wreck. Peggy, crept out of the ruins to find Queen Crystal raging in the bed of Snow Elves into which she had fallen. "That's Blooey! The roisterous old rascal! He always tears the house to pieces if he wins. I wish you'd tame him first, Princess Peggy." 'i I (Tomorrow will b told how.

A Questionnaire. Dear Misa. Fairfax. Omaha Bee: I am a girl of 16 years and hava brown eyes and hair. I have many boy and girl friends, and my girl friends tell me I am real good looking. I am a sophomore and In tend to work my way through school. Can you tell me something I could do during' the summer to earn some money, as I don't care to work' out? , ' I have been corresponding with a oldler boy who I met at a soldier train that passed through our town. When he met me he asked me to write to him, so I did. He has al ways treated me right and we hav been writing for about five months. Miss Fairfax, do you think it Is proper for me to continue to correi spond with him, as he says he hardly ever gets a letter fromj anyone but his follss and does not hear from them very often? .Would it be im polite foe me to send him a Christ mas present, as he .said he would send me a gift of remembrance? What would you suggest as a nifty gift, nothing expensive or elaborate? When my soldier friend from camp comes to visit me, should he take me to the movies, or is it my place to entertain hftn by taking him to the show? Do you think I'm too young to keep company with my boy friends and have them come to my house? My parents do not object if I go with respectable boys, and not very often. . ' 1 Should a girl accept a ring, brace let, watch or Jewelry of any kind from her boy friend as a gift? j Should a boy friend put his arm ' around a girl while walking or rid ing and show how he feels towards a girl? How, do you remove a wart from your hand and how long will it take? How is my writing and how can it be improved? I hope this does not find its way to the waste paper basket, for I need - your advice. Thanking you very much. TOPY BLUEBIRE. I could not advise you how to earn money, as I do not know your capabilities and opportunities. There Is nothing particularly wrong about your writing to this soldier boy so long as your letters contain nothing , that everybody could ' not read. The war has un hooked the reins of propriety to some exteitt and it would be all right for you to send your soldier friend some little gift. . However, it should not be ( costly. It is proper for you to Invite your friends io your home and I see no objection to them tak ing you to the movies. .You are too young to "keep company," as you say, with boys, but if your parents do not object to nice boys it is all right for them to come to your home occasionally. No, ' you should not accept Jewelry , or expensive gifts from .boys to whom you are not en gaged. Boys should not put their arms around girls while walking or riding, no matter how he feels to ward her. Your physician can probably remove a wart I cannot. Your writing Is fairly good, but can be improved by practice. - She Loves a Soldier. Dear Miss Fairfax! A gentleman I know very wejl has 'asked me to marry him, telling me how much he loves me. I told him to wait for an answer. He is very kind to me, but I do not love him, for my love is in far-off France. This soldier I love very much, but he never said a word that would make me know he loved me. Still, when I said goodby to him he said. "Remember, I wish to see. you - the same as I leave you when I Come back" I did not get his meaning. Do you think I'd bet ter wait for his return and see how things turn out, and tell the other one I have no love for him? MAY. You will make a serious mistake if you become engaged to your pres ent lover while you are so deeply in terested in the soldier. Even if the soldier is not in love with you, you muBt recover irom that attachment before you can promise to love any one else, Why not tell the man who is now waiting for your answer that your. heart Is not free? A Dangerous Proximity. Dear Miss Fairfax I am 18 and deeply in love with a married man, and. furthermore, he pays very much attention to my company, so I ask you to please let me know in what way I could forget him, for we work together? HEARTBROKEN. I understand how difficult this is for" you. But it is surely most inad visable for you to continue seeing this man every day, whatever your gdod resolution as to forgetting him. So my advice is that you find work somewhere else as soon as possible. Don't you see that this is the only effective way of getting him out of your mind and heart? Fears to Trust Her. Dear Miss Fairfax: I have been engaged for 18 months. I work nights In one of the government shops. One night last week her shop gave an entertainment out of town and she went without even askjng me, returning home at 1 mm THE superiority of Atwood Grapefruit is not an acci dent From the first planting tha Atwood Grapefruit Co. ha sacrificed everything for QUAljlTY.

They are coming ithick and fast these days for with the officers home on leave the pretty girls are making formal announcements of their future plans. Mr. and Mrs. Frank E. Clark announce the betrothal of their daughter, Jayne Beulah to Lt. John H.J Summers, son of Dr. and Mrs. J. E. Summers. The wedding date is indefinite. Miss Clark is a most attractive girl and a graduate of the Central High school. She pursued her studies in Washington, D. C. at the school of Domestic Art and Science. Lt. Summers is a member of one of Omaha's most prominent fam ilies. The young officer received his commission at the United States School of Military Aeronautics at Columbus. O.

Now, Miss Fairfax, please advise me what to do, as she Intends to go there again soon. P. D., JR. I must remind you that being en gaged to a girl really doesn't give you the right to control her. Why is it that you don't feel that you can trust her?, Is she untrustworthy, or are you a little Jealous? Your love for each other ought to imply confi dence. Why not talk lt all over with her, with that in mind? Shall She Question Him? Dear Miss Fairfax: I am 16 and have been friends with a young lady of the same age for the last three years. She has been going about for six months with a young man of 21. Her mother is dead, and she has no one except her father to advise her. Her father approves of the young man. Now, Miss Fairfax, my friend has asked me to question the young man and find out if he intends to continue going about with her. I would like you to tell me whether it Is proper for me, as her most confidential friend, to do this under the circum stances? A. E. W. Your friend is very much mistaken in asking you to do this for her, and the young man might very properly resent such Interference. As your Thousands of Omaha Folk WOULDN'T repair their own clothes even if they were able.
