The more you keep people guess ing, the greater a success will your affair be. Of course the stunts carry out this plan. One particularly id iotic stunt, which is certain to en liven any group, is a fish talk. The whole company is gathered into a circle; then the hostess an nounces they are to make a very important contribution to the sum of human knowledge. Scientists have long wondered what and how a fish would talk if it could talk. It is up to the company to supply that knowledge. Thereupon each guest is given an opportunity to express himself as a fish. After the guests have arrived, the hostess might pass a dish of good looking candies. She should do this with many smiles and hints of a stunt, which proceeding will natur ally make the guests suspect the candy is a joke. The majority will probably refuse; and the joke is on them, for the candy should be the real article and no person allowed a second chance at it. The refreshments should be dis guised as far as possible. The table may be a carcicature of a real table, for instance a table cloth and nap kins of wrapping paper or cheese cloth. One extreme idea is to serve the courses backward if the party happens to be a dinner or a lunch eon. That seems a bit hard on the guests unless they are youthful enough to enjoy anything. A good center piece for an April Fool's table is a fruit jar of vegetables. Rathei good looking effects are possible with parsley and carrots. 1 he dishes can add a great deal to the unexpectedness of the refresh ments. We do not realize what sticklers we are at form until we see everything reversed. Here are a tew suggestions: . serve: Soup in teacups. Olives in a sugar bowl. Crackers in a vegetable dish. Meat on a cake plate. Vegetables in a glass berry bowl or poured from a pitcher into glass es. Gravy in a sauce dish. Bread in a salad bowl. Jelly on a meat platter. Pie' or other desserts ' on ' dinner plates. bugar in a gravy boat with a gravy ladle. Cream in a teapot. Water in after-dinner coffee cups. leaspoons tor soup and table spoons for a beverage. Camouflage in Food. The usual April Fool stunt is to have cotton batting ' chocolates or doughnuts or even cotton layers in biscuit. A clever variation of that idea is to have a few imitation foods mixed in with regulation foods. Then the person who gets a cotton doughnut wonders if there is some thing wrong with hirii, or if the rest of the company have lost their senses and are eating what never was intended for human consump tion. Some ways of disguising ordinary food are as follows: Heart Beats By A. K. Beautiful! Glorious t Idyllic! Spring! And we yawn1 And smile and Find ourselves consumed With that lovely Feeling of tolerence For the whole world And folks' weaknesses And we breathe the Fresh air and drink Drink, drink The sunshine Sin lose their grossness And become only Half-sins. But the Stress of Spring fever Wilts waxy spines Perpetual sighing Will kill the trying Spirit V And undermine the energy We find ourselves Wishing for a vacation Wishing for money Wishing for love Wishing for leisure Wishing for fishing tackle And a broad rimmed hat And the open road. Wishing for bright new Clothes as the old ones Lose their style Wishing for most anything From gold or jewel Rare To an extra hour's sleep In the morning. And yet we know That spring wishing Is a dangerous Treacherous Tricky Occupation for . Our wishbone Will outgrow Our backbone If we don't watch out. SELAHI Apricot Breakfast Cake. Divide a baking powder mixture into tw. parts, roll out to fit a cake pan and place on the bottom of the pan, allowing the dough to extend up on the sides of the pan. Spread each with fruit mixture and bake 15 minutes in a hot oven. .This will make two cakes, CJSNTfiAZ JfffJf fCJfOOZ Purchase empty cream puff shells and use them as cases for salad. Make sandwiches to imitate layer cake. Cut the bread the lengthwise of the loaf instead of crosswise Graham bread gives a better appear ance than white. Put three slices together with a thick cream cheese filling, then cut to represent layer cake. To add to the illusion, spread the top with the cheese and press nut meats on it Serve ice cream as croquettes scoop out tne cream, and roll in toasted cake or macaroon crumbs. Make home made fondant into potato shapes and roll in cinna mon. Timely Receipes. For Sunday Night Supper. Fried tomatoes on toast make very nice relish for a Sunday night supper and it takes such a little time to "fry" them that the absence of the cook will not be greatly de plortd. Make a batter of the yolk of an egg and flour and water, or use rolled cracker crumbs. Fry several slices of bacon, remove the grease except just enough to fry the toma to, which has been sliced thin and dipped in the batter. Or, if you choose, there need not be a batter, but simply rolled cracker in' which to dip the slices of tomato. Serve on slices of toast with a bit of bacon on top. Creamed Mushrooms. With a chafing dish there are so many nice things that one may pre pare for the Sunday night supper. Place a piece of butter the size of a walnut in the chafing dish, add the mushrooms, let cook a few minutes, and then add a cup of cream or milk. Push the mushrooms aside or re move them from the dish, thicken with a spoonful of flour, and when the sauce is smooth, spread over the mushrooms. Chicken Wiggle. Take the chicken that is left from dinner and cut into dice; add to one cupful of the chicken half a can of peas and mix with chicken gravy left from dinner that" has been thin ned with milk. Let it come to a boil and season with red pepper and salt. If there is no gravy use milk or cream thickened with flour, but not too thick. Serve on toast. Egg Salad. Boil the eggs about 20 minutes and if this is for the Sunday night supper they may be boiled in the morning. Cut the eggs in halves and remove the yolks, which are mashed fine and seasoned with salt, pepper, a little bit of mustard, a taste of chopped pickle and then mixed with olive oil or mayonnaise. When the whites are refilled serve on lettuce leaves . . Apricot and Rice Pudding. Cook one cup rice in one quart boiling salted water for 15 or 20 minufes; drain, reserve the water in which the rice was cooked (it will make excellent starch for delicate waists or dresses). To the drained rice add two cups of the fruit which has been cooked and sweetened. Serve with a sauce made of apricot juice. Thomas Wood Stevens to Tell Omahans How to Produce Pageants Thomas Wood Stevens, head of the department of dramatic arts at Carnegie Institute of Technology, will lecture before the Fine Arts society Friday at 4:30 in the ball room of the Fontenelle. Mr. Stevens has written and di rected 18 plays and pageant in this country and in Europe. . The largest and most impressive was the pa geant of St. Louis, which the Oma ha board of governors and directors ot the Ak-Sar-Ben attended as spe cial guests. There were 7,500 peo ple in the cast and 100,000 in the audience. "Joan of Arc," and "The Draw ing of the Sword," are two masques that, written since the war, have made Mr. Stevens known for pa triotic dramatic work, both here and abroad. "Joan of Arc" was first produced in France on the steps of the temple of Domreny. "The twentieth century has shown a wonderful revival of the pageant in England," said Mrs. Myron Learned, "which began there in the 14th century. America has caught the fever in the last 15 or 20 years. Some day Omaha will surely have one using all the local picturesque Indian stories, characters and leg ends. Kansas City will have a pageant this summer which Mr. Stevens will direct. Any man can get a raccoon coat for his wife by mortgaging the dear old bungalow. WELL, taEBBE SO I DtJNJfO.

Advice to the Lovelorn Love Comes Unbidden and, "To Love or Not We Are No More Free Than the Ripple to Rise and Leave the Sea." ; By BEATRICE FAIRFAX His Trouble. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I wish you would let me know how I can get a girl's father to let me come up to see them. I am 19 years old and have black hair, brown eyes and am five feet six inches tall and am pretty enough for any girl. If you can't answer this, then give me some girl's address so I can get acquainted. Hoping to hear from you in next week's paper, WALTER. What is the father's objection to you? If you are all right speak to the father tell him that you enjoy his daughter's company and that you wish to call like a gentleman. No reasonable man will object unless he has some specific charge against you. You may be pretty enough for any girl, but have you any sense? Some fathers require this seemingly small asset before giving their consent. Widower Wants Wife. Dear Hiss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: As I read your advice to so many through letters in The Bee, I am coming to you not for advice, but for help. I am a widower, a farmer, 42 years old, and have four children. I want a housekeeper about my age. Now, Miss Fairfax, if you're not in this business, maybe you could at least help find a good woman that wants a good home. I have no ob jections to one or two children. If I get a good, honest woman, I will guarantee her a good home and fair treatment. I am sure I can satisfy a good woman. My wife died six years ago and I feel as if I need an other woman. Now, Miss Fairfax, I know that this isn't your line of Work, but you want to help people. If you can help me in this line I will be thankful for it and will never forget you. Hoping you will put my letter in print in The Bee or hand it to some good old maid or some good widow. S. K. No, this isn't in my line, but I'll gladly "take the burden upon me." Variety in these burdens is the spice of life. Hope that some one will see this or else I'll have to begin the search for the old maid or widow. She Wants But Little. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I know you will answer a few ques tions on a club lesson and help me out with it if you can answer crazy bachelors, would-be movie play wrights and what-nots. Can you give me the biography of the fol-t lowing humorous poets: Bixby, Caro lyn Wells, Paul Laurence, Dunbar and Guitermann, a writer in Life? I am wanting some quotations by them, a popular song by Dunbar and a poem or two by Guitermann. Any thing you can give me in the "hu morous poet line" will be gratefully accepted. Oh, yes, "how is my hand writing?" SNOOZY. P. S. I have about made up my mind a poet has to die to become known. Yes, I could give you the bio graphies of Bixby, Carolyn Wells, Dunbar, Guitermann, and even Lea cock and Irvin Cobb, but don't you think you are asking quite a lot of one who has a few other duties to discharge during the day? Glad to know they are humorists. (?) I respectfully refer you to the. library or to the encyclopedia or the "Books of Knowledge." There is a book en titled, "Ten' Thousand Quotations,'1 which might help you. To Our Bachelor Farmer. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I, too, wonder whether a loveless mar riage can bring real happiness. In the last eight years 1 have been in many homes. I find where there is no love in the home there is very lit tle else but friction. I have also seen where the little "God of love" reigns supreme, such is truly a won derful home. We can not truly say that we have lived until we learn to love with mind, heart soul and body; where these four are appreciated a home will be heaven indeed. A few years ago I kept company with a wealthy doctor, a very good man, and about 20 years my senior. As the time drew near for the wed ding I could not bear to think of becoming the mother of this man's children, because I did not love him. I do love children. The very thought that possibly sometime I might have a home and become a little mother has been a very refining influence in my life. No, I shall never marry for aught but love. As I am a few years your Junior, "Bachelor Farmer," I will continue For Colds, Catarrh or Influenza. liquid form. It will build up your body, cure your cold, and protect you from disease germs which lurk everywhere. One of the active ingredients of this temperance alterative and tonic is wild cherry bark with stillingia, which is so good for the lungs and for coughs; also Oregon grape root, blood root, stone root, Queen's root all skilfully combined in the Medical Discovery. These roots have a direct action on the stomach, improving digestion and assimilation. These herbal extracts in the "Discovery" aid in blood-making, and are best ,for scrofula. By improving the blood they aid in throwing off an attack of influenza and act as oil on machinery. Catarrh should be treated, first as a blood disease,- with this altera tive; then, in addition, the nose should be washed daily with Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy which can be had at drug stores . Boulder, Cola. "About seventeen years ago I was given up by home physi cians. I was discouraged, but hearing of Dr. Pierce's wonderful Golden Medical Discovery thought that I would give it a trial. I coughed night and day, but after taking the third bottle of the 'Discovery' the cough began to cease and I lay down for the first night's sleep in six weeks. I then wrote to Dr. Pierce and took specially prepared medicines for about three months. I also kept taking the 'Golden Medical Discovery' during this time and continued for one year. I can safely recommend TJr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to all." Mrs. O. J. Adam. to hope that love is waiting just around the corner. Please let me hear from those who know, who speak with authority, be cause of experience. "JAQTJELIN1S." The Wrong Idea. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am a tall, good looking young man with blue eyes and light hair. I read your "Advice to Lovelorn" and enjoy it very much. Now Miss Fairfax about two weeks ago a girl friend visited at my home. I have known her from child hood. We have always been good friends. We went about together while she was here and thought a lot of her when taking her home. I asked if I may oall again. She accepted my call. When I came home I learned from my sister that she was en gaged. I did not call on her again. Now Miss Fairfax, what is the right thing to do by her. Was it fair of her to not tell me of her engage ment? Hoping to see this in print. I remain anxious BLUE EYES. The young lady probably thought your attentions were those of a friend, supposing that your sister had told you. I see nothing wrong in the mere fact that she granted your request to call. Treat the matter lightly as friend to friend and not as sweetheart to prospective sweet heart. Old and Young. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I suppose you are aware that the old as well as the young are interested in your page in The Bee. Well, I am not one of the lovelorn, I traveled that road 25 years ago when I was 15, and it may seem strange, but it is true that the boy I loved then as a sweetheart I love just as dearly today as a husband, so you see, Miss Fairfax, sometimes boys and girls know what true love is at 16, but it is not love I want to talk about now, I have plenty of love from my hus band and children. Will you please tell me where I can get the electric needle? Can it be used with safety in removing moles? My little girl has two moles on her face. I would like to have them removed. Thank ing you in advance. M. E. A, F. This is proof indeed that some times boys and girls at 15 do know true love. Electric needles are very satisfactory for moles accord ing to the experience of many who have tried it. Any beauty parlor will give you information. Young Philosopher. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am a daily reader of your "Love lorn column" and have often found some good advice in it. It happens that I am not in love. I am 17 and have had three proposals. Now, Miss Fairfax, my parents are of moderate means, and although they have both worked hard and are still working hard, they think I ought to marry some one that has plenty of money, so I will not have very much to do. They think I should have taken one of those who have proposed to me. Now, these are quite a bit older than I am, and neither of them want a home, just board and no children. My great est ambition in life is to become a loving wife and mother and greatest desire is to have a home of my own. I am not looking for a husband who has all kinds of money and has not made it honestly. I do not care for stylish men, having five and six suits a season, wears silk shirts, etc., but some one who has a dirty face, hands and overalls. My ideal is a home-loving farmer. Do you think I will find one? I have spent vaca tions in many states and have not met my ideal yet, although I have met some very fine gentlemen. My parents think it is terrible I do not marry, but, Miss Fairfax,' I cannot think of anything worse than going through life with some one you do not love, do you? After you are married once you're a long time married. Must close now, as I am afraid my letter will exceed over 200 words. Please do not print my name, but would be glad to hear from any lonely home-loving farmer. LITTLE LIZA JANE. You have philosophy beyond your 17 years, indeed. No, I can't think it would be pleasant to go through life with some one you did not love, but please don't make a dirty face one of the qualifications. It would grow tiresome.

Mail Orders Executed Promptly. How much would your telephone be worth to you without a hlg organization back of it? Ordinarily, nothing is seen of the means we take to insure the public continuous telephone service. But when an emergency arises the "organization" which hast been working silently behind the scenes is put into motion. When some financial problem must be met, when sleet storms strike, when fires occur, when some catastrophe happens, or when a big piece of construction work has to be done, the organization of this company instantly begins to move. When such events take place executives and other trained em ployees, who know from long experience that such things will coma sooner or later, are at hand to arrange and direct. , Where the necessity arises, funds which have been slowly ac cumulating are available for immediate expenditure, material which has been gradually assembled is ready to prevent delay, and every facility, kept always in readiness, is directed to restore or ex pand telephone service as quickly as possible. At such times the benefits derived from a big and well organ ized company are immediately felt.
