Have a Full
Week
Luncheons and Parties by
Maids and Matrons Are
Scheduled to Begin
. This Week-End.
Perhaps no Omaha girl ever has
. been to lionized and sought after as
Miss Louise Dinning since her re
turn from overseas. While exhaus
tion has kept her from accepting in-
vitations to affairs to be given in
her honor, the Dinning home has an
4 open door to friends. The future
..: holds much in the way of social
functions for the girl who is record
,. ed as being the first from Omaha
to go overseas with the Red Cross.
'. "Mrs. Barton Millard is planning a
.dinner party at her home during the
. week-end for Miss Dinning and Miss
Etta Turner of Fremont. Mrs. Mil
,: lard's guests will also attend the
Country club after honoring Miss
'Dinning and Miss Turner Saturday
night.
Rumors are rife of a full week,
beginning Monday. Miss Gladys
Feters is planning -a luncheon and
the Misses Margaret and Elizabeth
Bruce have an affair in prospect, al
though the dates have not been fixed
because of Miss Dinning's extreme
fatigue caused by her one and one
half years of mental and physical
strain.

Mrs. Downing Will Give
Ways of Choosing Food
From 1919 Cook Book
Wheat and sugar are plentiful
again in this country, but there still
is need for the conservation of fats.
Years of warfare have squeezed the
fat out of Europe and the people
over there are dependent on this
country for replenishment of their
stocks. Mrs. Helen H. Downing of
the department of food economics
of Armour & Co. will give reasons
why conservation of certain varieties
of food still is necessary, in her talk
before the Second district club wom
en Thursday at 3:15 in Grace Meth
odist church on the South Side.
Mrs. Downing comes prepared by
years of study in domestic econom
ics to advise our progressive wom
en on how to get the most out of
their household money. She will tell
how to make most appetizing dishes
from inexpensive meat, how to use
foods so that nothing will be wasted,
how to get the best of vegetables.
She will tell how to choose the
foods for the cook book of 1919,
making the use of unusual foods
both practical and easy.

Thanks for the Tip.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I wonder If
you will care for a plain "tip" In ex
change for a little Information. For
several weeks past It has been one
of the diversions of a set of Omaha
High school pupils to send yon va
rious communications describing cer
tain of their number plainly and
then making a play on their
peculiarities (real or fancied), and
ask you all sorts of silly questions.
The point being to make such parties
ridiculous. In some cases this has
resulted in Just a plain case of "mad
clear through," and In others In truly
hurting sensitive feelings. I realize
that there is no possible way for you
to get at the real and unreal quali
ties of your letters except to use
your fine intuition and guess. Very
likely you can guess pretty near the
facts. Please tell me your under
standing of the word "vampire" or
"to vamp." Some days ago there
was a news article In The Bee in
which the defense In a legal case
was that the girl had "vamped" the
defendant "Would you consider it
an insult for a boy to call a girl a
vampire or to accuse her ot vamp
ing, especially if he should use this
term in a note? Some girls seem to
consider it a compliment. Citing
Theda Bara as an example.
Many and almost all of the high
school set are reading your answers
daily. Very truly, "HONEST."
Thanks, but I have discovered that
many letters "are written for fun and
so, many of them find their way
straight Into the wastebasket. Some
of them are answered. It Is very
unprincipled, to write descriptive
letters because Oiie is- angry.
Thoroughbreds never stoop to this
level. The word "vampire" has
gained such popular favor, and va
rious flavor, that It is not safe to
say what folks mean when they use
that term. The dictionary gives the
meaning: "A ghostly being that
sucks the. blood of human beings
while they sleep; one who prays
upon his fellowmen," but Theda has
"humanized" the term. I should
consider it anything but a compli
ment to be called a common vara
pire.
of work we have. That's the main
reason "for my quitting school. What
I wanted to ask Is this: What do
you think about me. Miss Fairfax;
ought I to go to school or do such
girls at my age sometimes quit
school? I wear my dresses quite
short as yet. for they're Just below
my knees, I used to comb my hair
in a braid or curl down my back,
but I wear my hair up now. Am I
too young for this? I will soon be
14. I don't correspond or keep com
pany with boys. No! Never! Is it
sinful to powder and paint? I don't
paint, but I use cold cream and pow
der 'once In a while. Folks say I'm
good looking, but I don't want to
"show off" with myself. This is all,
with hope to see my letter in print.
BLUE EYES.
Surely it Is a shame that you
should have to quit school so -early.
Lack of education will be a great
handicap when you are grown. Could
your mother spare you in case some
good family In Omaha should offer
you a home and schooling in return
for your help after school? There

Very Young.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I read your
"Advice to the Lovelorn" every day
and think it is excellent. Vou must
be well versed in love affairs to be
able to answer all these love ques
tions. There is a boy away at school and
I have not heard from him since he
left, but was a good friend of his
before he left, so would you advise
me to write him a letter because I
feel sure he would write, only he has
forgotten my address?
I am 15 years old and in second
year high, how tall should a girl my
age be? I have a few gray hairs in
my head, what do ' you suppose
causes them ? What can I do to get
rid of them? I do not worry in the
least. Should a girl my age go out
evenings with a gentleman friend; if
so, how often?
j Hoping I will find this In the Eve
ning Bee soon. I remain.
MRS. JIGGS' DAUGHTER. ROSIE.
Suppose you Just wait until he re
turns. Tou are very young to be
serious about boy friends. Tou are
doing nicely in your studies I do
not know how tall you should be.
Gray hair is beautiful, but 4f you
wish to keep it dark, there are sev
eral dyes. An escort is not objec
tionable if he is the right kind, but
surely I would not consider any
young man a sweetheart, If I were
you.
To Bachelor Farmer.
Dear Miss Fairfax; Have read
with interest the answers to
"Bachelor Farmer's" letter, but have
noted no comments or Ideas on his
problem. Can a happy and peaceful
home be maintained where the two
persons have only admiration and
respect for each other and no love.
Isn't that what you meant,
"Bachelor Farmer?" You are won
dering If it would be safe to choose
the one girl who most nearly ap
proaches your Ideal, and "take a
chance?" x
Since no one with experience has
given his or their results, I, an Inex
perienced one, will venture my
opinion.
And that opinion Is It would
never, never be successful. For
isn't love the foundation of "home?"
That's what you wanted. Bachelor
Farmer, , a "home," but would it
last long without the foundation?
And would it be a real home at all?
Not the kind we all look forward
to, at least, where perfect con
geniality reigns because love Is there.
Believe every normal man and girl
have stored away somewhere (al
though sometimes loathe to admit
ti even to themselves) a vision of
their ideal and we constantly seek
the realization of that vision. But
I sometimes ask myself this ques
tion: Have I set my standards too
high, forgetting perchance my own
shortcomings? For aren't we all,
unfortunately, too often blind to our
own defects while we readily notice
and prejudice them in another?
But it seems to me, "Bachelor
Farmer," that as yet, fate has not
smiled upon you (in regard to the
girl), for if you have met the really,
truly, person you would have no
doubts for Miss Fairfax to solve.
(Isn't that true Miss Fairfax?) So
wait a little longer. That girl is also
waiting for you. Then as all good
stories end. You'll live happy ever
after. Very sincerely,
"HAPPY GIRL."
A few uninteresting letters have
been received in reply to our frlend'e
inquiry, but most pople seem reticent
about expressing an opinion on mar
riage without love.
school In this fashion and they have
the added advantage of the refining
influence of educated people. If any
matron in Omaha Is interested in
you I sincerely hope they will write
to me.
An Address.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Oaiaha Bee:
Please forward enclosed letter to
party who signed self as "Friend
and Lover of Innocent Children."
Thanking you, In advance, I remain,
yours truly. HOPEFUL.
I do not know the address of the
one who signs "Friend and Lover of
Innocent Children." Wish I did.
Heart Broken Blessings brighten
as they vanish don't they? I can't
see what you can do except to take
extra pains to show him that you
are his friend. However, It eeems
to me that he should speak to you
for that is rather Inexcusable. .
Blacky and Snip If your parents
do no like thes boys far be it from
me to tell you are rtght n going any
way. I don't believe you're really in
love with them now; and better not.
Suppose you learn the reason why
they aren't welcome at your home.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Umaha Bee: 1
have to write, not only for advice,
but to tell about myself. Now, Miss
Fairfax, I know that what I'll say
is almost unbelievable, but, "hon
est," I'm telling the truth. My let
ter is quite long, but It ought to be
printed, for it's not one of those
silly letters that you have had to
take patience with, but it's a letter
over which the reader should have
pity. I am a child, 13 years old,
"have stopped school already," and
not even finishing the seventh grade.
I can cook, sew, knit, tat, crochet,
and I have a very good voice. It
seems terrible that I had to stop
school, and I lost what I loved the
very best on earth. And, Miss Fairfax,-
I bet you wouldn't believe I am
a housekeeper already. Yes, I cook
and keep house for my brother, I
would have gone to school had It
been possible. I am of u family of
