Folks are Rushing Into
the Lenten Season
Country Seems to Have Gone Dancing Mad and Even
When Friends Stop for a Cup of Tea
They Have a Few "Turns."
Omaha Girl Plays "Nora" in the
44 Doll's House" at University"
Washington Bureau of The Bee.
WASHINGTON society is
rushing into Lent. A
month's festivities have been
crowded into these las' few days of
"the season," although one .scarcely
hears the word "season" this year,
o closely is it identified with offi
cial entertainments. In fact, there
are those who think that without
the official or slate functions there
is no season. There has been one,
nevertheless. A proof that there
. has been one will be the great fes
tivities set for Shrove Tuesday eve
ning. There have been balls and
balls, several in a night, time and
time'atrain, and Friday night of last
week there were actually four large
ones iri different sections of the city.
The country appears to have gone
dancing mad. Wherever two or
three stop to have tea they have a
few turns, for almost in every place
, where tea is a feature there is
music, if it is only in one's own lit
( tie drawing room in an aparjment,
; w here there is sure to be a victrola
and plenty of vdance records. So
dancing" cray are the people of all
ages and all kinds that both men
and women are engaged in teaching
"the men who have wooden legs to
trip lightly over the dance floor,
and many of them have-learned to
do it with such-skill that it cannot
readily be detected that one leg is
a lifeless one.
In the Red Cross recreation
house at the Walter Reed hospital,
where scores of women and girls
go every day to bring cheer to the
convalescing sick- and wounded,
there are several victrolas, and,
thanks to the generosity of thought
ful citizens, there are scores of good
'new records of all kinds, for danc
ing and not for dancing. How these
boys and men (but comparatively
few of the latter) may be noted by
the way they flock to the comforta
ble house, where there is always to
be found a cheery woman, ready to
help in any way she can.' An ordi
nary sirt is a group of from four
to eight soldiers, in all stages of
convalescing and showing aa many
ditlerent kinds of injuries in service,
sfthding about one sewing machine,
eagerly drinking in the intricacies
of running it, one progressive pupil
perhaps guiding a dainty piece of
linen through the hemmer. One
boy who was doing this machine
work last Saturday had the bright
est, merriest smile, and bright, hap
py eyes, when he turned to see who
was watching his work. But he had
Bo legs.
President Welcomed.
Washington gave the president
and his party a wholesome Amer
ican welcome on Tuesday, and then
emphasized it on Thursday with the
splendid parade, which passed 'with
continuous enthusiasm. There was
scarcely a window or a pole the
!ngth of Pennsylvania avenue and
F street, to say nothing of the side
streets, which did not fly the Stars
and Stripes, and many of them dis
played some of the allies' flags also.
Never was there a prettier sight to
an 'American eye. The president
had no one of his own family to
greet him, as his 'three daughters
are widely separated from him and
from each other just now. Mrs.
Wilson's mother, sisters and broth
ers, however, of whom the president
is genuinely fond, gave them a warm
welcome, and have dired with them
at the White House in relays. Mrs.
Wilson's mother, Mrs. Boiling, and
h. only unmarried daughter, Miss
Bertha Boiling, who live not dis
tant from the White House, are fre
quent guests in the presidential box
at the theaters. They are spending
as much time as possible with their
distinguished and much beloved
relative during her short stay in
Washington, for almost as soon as
they are settled here they will be
off again across the sea for an in
definite stay.

The honor of being leading wo
man of the University Players, the
dramatic club of the University of
Nebraska has come to an Omaha
girl. Miss Lea Lipsey, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. D. Lipsey, 1228 North
Thirty-fourth street.
On Wednesday evening the Uni
versity Players presented Isben's
"The Doll's House" in which Miss
Lipsey played Nora. The leading
man was Leonard Woolen of Oma
ha, who played Torvald Melmer.
Miss Lipsey graduated from the'
Central High school with the class
of 1915 and had a leading part in the
senior class play of that year. In her
sophomore year at the University of
Nebraska she appeared with the
University Players in "Ready Mon
ey." Last year Miss Lipsey attended
the University of Missouri and was
leading woman of the dramatic club
there and received very favorable
comment in the Kansas City press
with the prediction of a successful
career in the theater after her ap
pearance in Synge's "Playboy of
the Western World" and Yeat's
"Countess Kathaleen."

Hardly a day passes in this office but what some
"shopper" tells us what "Dr. So and So" charges for
such and such work how much another Dentist asked
for a filling or a crown and I am frank to say that in
some instances the "shopper" left my office to continue
the shopping trip and probably quote my prices to other
dentists. ,
There is one satisfaction I have that In all the
years I have practiced here there has been but one rule
as to price they are figured exactly to cover the
TIME and MATERIAL used and a modest profit in
each case and from this scale no one is permitted to
vary. (
Time and material are the principal items in
EVERY dental transaction.
The time it takes a skilled operator to perform his
work is figured the cost of material used is calculated
centage of profits is the final cost to the patient.
BUT SUPPOSE ALL DENTISTS CHARGED THE
SAME what then? Would they all be equally busy?
No more so than they are now most people are keen
judges of VALUE they KNOW that, shoddy work is
dear even if done free they know that a poor dentist
in the best equipped office in the world would still be a
poor dentist they KNOW that when a practice grows
year after year and thrives in spite of competitive
malice and slander that there is VALUE in the "goods
they are delivering." -
I save TIME here by employing only' operators of
known skill and experience there is no time lost exper
imenting or "undoing mistakes" no time lost in the lab
oratory as the mechanical part of the work is attended
to by mechanical dentists the operator filling the role
of "physician" and the laboratory expert that of "drug
gist" in filling the ''prescriptions."
The MATERIAL used is the best obtainable-22K.

Rodenberg of Illinois, who is a
former Washington girl. The feast
was served at small tables, with one
long honor guest tableNa bit raised
from the floor, where thu presiding

speakers. At the end of it a femi
nine peace conference was opened,
with Mrs. Edmund Piatt of New
York, in students' cap and gown,
as moderator. Quite the most clev
er speaker of the occasion was Mrs.
W. P. Borland, who as "France"
spoke in adorable broken English,
making a plea for France to con
tinue to rule theN world in fashion
and admonishing the women of the
world to observe "conservation ma
terials" in their gowns. Universal
sympathy was extended Mrs. Bor
land only a few hours later, when
she received the tragic news of her
husband's death several days be
fore in a hospital in France, where

table, while she waved her big red

ignominous retreat from the face of
the earth, and then Japan appeared,
in the person of the widow of Repre
sentative W. G. Brown, jr., of West
Virginia, who was formerly the
popular actress Iretta Jewel. She was
a piquant and Modest Japanese and
demanded that she be permitted to
control the tea market of the world,

great nations. She also pleaded for
the control of the sale of her beloved

ACTRESS TELLS SECRET
A Well Known Actreiu Tells How
to Darken Gray Hair With a
Simple Home 'Made Mixture. ,
Jolcey Williams, the well known
American actress, who was recently
playing at the Imperial Theatre in
St. Louis, Mo., made the following
statement about gray hair and how
to darken it:
"Anyone can prepare a simple
mixture at home, at very little cost,
.that will darken gray streaked or
faded hair, and make it soft and
glossy. To a half pint of water add
1 ounce of bay rum, a small box of
Barbo Compound and ounce of
glycerine. These ingredients can
be bouprht at any drug store at very
little cost, or any druggist can put
it up. for you. Apply to the hair
twice a week until the desired shade
is obtained. This will make a gray
haired person look 20 years young
er. This is not a dye, it does not
color the most delicate scalp, is not
sticky or greasy and does not rub
off. Adv,

They seem to tell us that all these charming women have
found in CREME ELCAYA just what we hoped they would, a

one of them to continue to be that loveliest of all things, a woman
good to look at, well-groomed, beautiful-skinned, no matter what
country of the world she happens to live in.
I don't have to tell you about CREME ELCAYA. You are
one of the home folks and you know. But I do want to remind you,
in case you may have forgotten or grown a bit careless about your
skin, that there is still this simple old formula for beauty which
these other women find never fails them. It is not even a "beauty .
secret," but just common sense
Always use Creme Elcaya before you put on your face powder.
A little Creme Elcayd rubbed gently into the skin; then if you need
color, a little good Rouge spread carefully over the cheeka before
the Cream is quite tltyi,and after that your race rowaer over on.
