V I ff My Heart and My Husband Adele Garrison's New Phase of Revelations o) a Wife "Why Madge Worried as She , Watched Dicky. I mentally brushed Bess Deaivs mischievous threat aside as if it had been an annoying insect. I knew enough of the girl to realize that she would endeavor to monopolize Dicky's attentions during dinner and reception to which she had been in vited. She is the flamboyant, assert .ive type of pretty girl, who is never 'conteit unless she has the most attracive men in the room bending over lier chair and neglecting all y social amenities for her sake. But though I realized that her attitude mightcause me petty an noyance later in trie day, 1 was too absorbed in the haunting1 fear that ' Dicky might not cover himself with glory in the afternoon exercises to pay much attuion to anything ,eUe. Yet I couldn't help noticing that when she had settled her class in their seats she left them and came back to the desk of trophies, and , bent over it as if making some trif ling rearrangement. Miss Holcombe's Comment. ' "Pipe 'the pose!" The sibilant whisper rose from the row of high school pupils seated directly behind me, but when I turned every face in the row was placidly respectful. Miss Holcombe however, who has been long enough in the Bayview school to know the very thoughts of the youngsters in her charge, spoke in a low tone without turning her head.- ' ' "George Brooks, come here a mo- tnent, please." i ' 1 The boy in question, a ' chubby, Mlack-eyed youngster, so brimming withx mischief thahe was always in hot water, hastened to her side, his rouniface and big eyes the person ification of innocence. - I "If this affair bores 'you) George," Miss Holcdmbe drawled with the ' utmost affability, "you may go down to .vour class-room and spend the time in demonstrating those geom etry theorems. You ean use them in your monthly report standings, you know." , George flushed, for his low stand ings in mathematics were proverbial. "I don't know what you mean, Miss Holcombe," he protested earnestly, I wasn t "Oh, yes you do, George, and you were," Miss Holcombe responded. "I haven't listened to that sweet voice of yours all these years with out knowing it. You may go back - to your seat if you can keep quiet, but the next disturbance will be punishable by something else than geometry theorems." The boy re turned to his teat and good behav ior, but his whispered exclamation remained with me. I think Alice Holcombe appreciated it, too, for her eyes rested upon Bess Dean wjth a quizzical light in them. Bess Dean Forgotten. For the girl was unmistakably posing, and I had to adrmt that she' was remarkably effective as she picked up one of the small ' shells Dicky had brought back with him and examined it closely. She has a remarkably good figure, lissome, slender, without being too thin, and it was well outlined by the gown she wore, a one-piece dress of brown cloth cut to almost a daring V at the front and back of the bod ice, will, bands of fur outlining the V-shaped neck, the 'wrists and set ting off the bottom of the skirt. The gown was of a shade which had been cunningly and artistically de signed to bring out the mahogany shading of her masses of brown hair, the twany lights in her" really wonderful brown eyes. I was not surprised, when, as Dicky entered the door with Mr. Stockbridge, he gave a slight start of surprised ad miration, for I knewthat the girl made a picture calculated to appeal to-he soul of any artist. She glanced up in prettily simulat ed confusion as Mr. Stockbridge formally and-unsmilingly introduced her to Dicky, murmured something which we could not hear, but which was evidently an apology for allow ing her interest in the shells to en gross her, and walked back to her position near the rear of the room It was apparently the most trivial and natural of incidents, but 1 knew she had accomplished a well-defined purpose that of bringing herselt to Dbky's attention in so striking a manner that he would remember her above the score of young wo- me i to whom he would naturally be introduced at the close of the after noon exercises. Bess Dean and her vagaries, how ever, were quickly swept out ot my Tiiind by the quick fulfillment of the fear that had haunted me all through the day. For when Dicky had taken the seat on the platform to which Mr. Stofkbndge assigned him, and the principal had given the signal to the school orchestra to begin a musical selection, what was my hor ror to see mv husband untold my manuscript which he had pasted to gether, and look it over as it he were refreshing his memory con cerning it! (Continued Tomorrow.) 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 ; A Questionnaire. Dear Miss Fairfax," Omaha Bee: i Wa are two girls, 18 years old, and wi uld KUe to have some advice. w ur boy friends like to, talk to us, but seldom ask us to go out with them. How can we retain their fr'ndship after we have once made it? , How should we entertain the boys "when they come to call on us, as we do not sing or play the piano? After a couple have broken up, is It the boy's or the girl's place to apologize ff they wish to renew their friend ship, and how would you go about it? ' Xt what age do girls usually be come popular with boys, and what are some attractive qualities in girls? If we meet some friends In a restaurant when eating lunch,' andr vthey join us at the table, would it be cuBtomary for them-to pay for our lunch? or, should we pay for it v ourselves? If, when we go Into a restaurant for lunch and we see a friend sit ting at a table by( himself, is it cor rect etiquet to join him at that' . table? 1 Please answer1 In Thursday's morn ing paper. CURIOUS. P. 8.- Is It stylish to have thin , eyebrows? . Be patient your time will come, and if the boys' like to talk to you they will soon want to entertain you. Have a game of cards, an informal ' dance or a candy pulling when the boys come to call. The one who feels ' that he was in the wrong usually apologizes. There Is no Set age for popularity, modesty and sweetness are admirable qualities. Tou would naturally pay for your own lunch, for if you merely met the friends by accident it does not follow that they pay the bill unless they are very galjant and insist upon it I hardly think I would ' join the yotmg man at a table In a restaurant unless hewas a very good friend, let him join your party If he wishes. Thin eyebrows arestlll the vogue, but use care In the t plucking, one should preserve a ' few sprigs. Save Vour Sentiment. ' tear Miss uainax, umana ow; We have been reading your "Advice 'to the lovelorn," but have never seen the advice that exactly strikes us." We are precisely IS and 17 years and have been chums for a number of months. What we want to know Is this: That whenever we are . made acquainted with young men- they "seem to fall in love with us at first sight and want to call on us and take us to dances and parties, but after a short time they do not care for us. 'Why is this? Could you ad vise us how to act so as to keep them as steadies? , Do you think it proper for a girl of 15 years to gq with aynan that is married and hasn't a divorce from his first wife yet? This is not either of us, but a friend of ours. Thanking you in advance, we hope to see this In print In the Friday dally, we are, , CHUMS. The young men with -whom you are associatmg'are not the type that girls of your age should have for friends. Tou may have boy friends, but save the sentiment for later years. BV friendly to everyone and Babbit dear tbat that la all you desire. I have no words to express the contempt I hold for any girl who Indulges in flirtations or love affairs with married men. This friend of yours, who is only 15, is evidently so unversed In the ways of the world that she does not realize her peril. Only unhappiness and bitter regret can result from such an af fair. Love Versus Profession. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I wondep if you could advise tne also, rm 19. I have been engaged to a man of my age for a little over a year. Jy fiance wishes to take up medicine. This will take six years. I do not want him to, for I think seven years too long for an engage ment I have told him this. Would It not be wise for me to break the engagement If he cannot take up something that won't take so long? , He doesn't care for me as much as he should ' if he still asks me to wait that long, does he? Will you please print this In Thursday's morning issue,' for I am leaving town? t M. D. Sevon long years! It stretches out interminably, doesn't It? Love sur mounts every difficulty, Including time, and If you are sure- that you love this young man I would not break the engagement, but would hope for the best. Something may happen which will shorten the wait ing, It often does. If you are to be a true helpmeet dq not hamper him and try to interfere in the profession he has chosen, but if your love is not strong enough to surmount the difficulties, then break the engage ment by all means. s A Soldier's Allotment. ' , Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: Can a soldier, sign his allotment to a widow if he wishes to? His relative know of the circumstances and. are willing that I should have it Am financially In need and don't wish to do anything unlawful. Hop ing a reply. Yoursand oblige, A WORRIED MOTHER AND RELATIVE A" soldier may only make an allot ment to a dependent relative or to his wife. Having Fun. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am a married' man of 30.- My wife and I cannot agree on anything. If I come in late at night she accuses me of loving another woman. Sometimes she throws fllshes at me and 1 have to lock myself up In the cellar. " Do you think 1 1 should get a di voce? - Is It right for a woman to threaten her husband with a broom? Please print your answer on Wed nesday. spCRATES. You are having a little fun at my expense. Socrates, and how could any one bearing such a learned name come to me for advice? Undignified. Dear Miss -Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I have been readingjrour columns for a long time and sure think your an swers are O. K. So thought I would write for some advice. I am a girl of 18 years this summer and have been going with lots of boys. For a fact I don't know just how many, but none have proposed to me and I am going with one now that I love. and believe I could marry him. What could I do to makeNhlm pro pose? Is ir all right for a girl to do the proposing? Is It right for a girl to make the dates with the boys? Is it all right for a girl to slap a boy If he tries to kiss her? What kind of soap Is the best for a girl to use on her face? " Well, hoping to see this la print aa soon as possible, PEGQY. You have very modern Ideas, young lady, but I beg of you don't do the proposing, for we haven't reached that stags In our development yet. Be Indifferent to this young man whom you say you love so dearly, it ofteli "helps. Surely you "can find some more dignified way to repulse any advances than by slapping. Use a mild soap that suits Vou skjn. - Not So1 Serious. , Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: We .are two- girls of 14 who read your "Advice to the Lovelorn" In The Bee. so have coma, to you for some advice on heart trouble. Our cases are not In a serious state yet, but there Is no telling when they may develop Into very dangerous ones. We are In love with two soldiers who live in a nearby town. They are five years our senior and we- know they love us. Was It proper for ua to wear their rings and service pins In honor of them? I suppose you will tell us we are foolish to be so earnest In this at our age, but we nave con sidered that part of It and we are going to wait a while before doing anything rash. Is this right? BROWN EYES AND BLUE EYES. No. You should wait awhile and then not do anything rash. Cases may be aa serious in Nebraska as elsewhere, but if yours get Into a more serious state than this one, let me know and I'll help you if possl- A Boy of Eighteen. Dear -Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: Am. a constant reader of your col umn of good advice to others, so am seeking some myself. "I am 18 and a good, clean boy. Have been '(keep ing company with a very nice girl two years my senior. Now, Miss Fairfax, do you think It is Improper for a bjyto go with a girl that is older than he? WALTER. A difference of two years is not consequential one way or another. An older girl, whose Influence Is good, may be especially good com-pa- for a boy of 18. Easter S. A girl of 15 should not be drawn into the maelstrom of jealousies, quarrels and broken friendships. Make yourself agree t ' " a.iu reasonable and your affairs of heart will smooth themselves out like t'ie waters of a-placid lake in th'. stillness df earlymorn. A Young Girl's -Problem. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am writing to you for some advice. I am aVoung girl IS years old and is very perty has dark, brown hair and eyes and Is In love with a sol dier boy of 21 years old and when he was at camp I got in love with another boy witch is 28 years old. I love the former boy yery dearly a cannot give him up and he said h could not life 'without me, so witch one would you advise me to marry. , DARK EYES. Naturally you are a young girl, being 18 years old. I would advise that you delve into orthography rather than matrimony. x An Artist The material you lyefer ta whioh prevents crayon drawings irom ruDDing on is nxaiu. It may be purchased at any art store for 25 cents and should be applied with an atomizer. Too Serious. Dear Mise Fairfax, Omaha 'Bee: Have been reading your advice for some time and thought I would get a little from you. I am IS years old. Would it be proper for me to go with a young man? I never go riding alone. My sister always goes along. Is It proper for me to go to dances and movies? I am consid ered very pretty, but not enough to hurt any one's eyes. Would it be all right to accept a ring from a boy when lam 11 years old? BROWN Etf ES. Write to me three years from now for my opinion of rings and It-year? olds. You see, if we make a decision now and lay It away in a bureau drawer for three years, It may get all crumpled up, or lost, before we have occasion to draw it out to light again. Thirteen Is too young for a girl to "go" with young men to movies, dances or whatever. At that age she should be thinking about French verbe and' algebrlo equations and qther simple subjects, leaving to a later date tha higher mathematics of romance. " ' A Sad Experience. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I divorced my husband because he In sisted he wanted a divorce and he had no grounds to get one from me. I never believed in divorces, but, under the circumstances there wasn't much sense In refusing. I still care for him and don't know whether I can get over it or not, but will have to If I don't want to go "nuts." Would it be right for me to go with other men, and if I could oar for soma on else to marry him? X can't get it out of my head that it would be wicked as long as my ax husband lives, but I am, much mora likely to die before him. HEARTBUSTED." Tou have had a sad experience, but I would try to efface this man from my life if possible. When love is dead there is nothing that will re kindle' the flame. Find some work to do, make yourself attractive and possibly you may find soma one mora worthy of you and find happiness. Blonde It la evident to ma' that you are in love with neither of these men, you are thinking only of your own personal comfort Until I bad met a man who could ba a true part ner through all tha upa and downs of life I would remain single. As I have never seen tha men you men tion how could I tell you which to choose? Follow tha dictates of your own heart x WHAT IS SUCCESS-and How Shall it Be Attained? Success in Business! Success in Life! Success Measured in Dollars! ' Success Measured by Duty! Which Shall it Be! WHA 7 IS SUCCESS? SUCCESS- that elusive thing whicfMnost men chase from youth to age only at the last to hear the words of the old philosopher. ring in their ears: "Poor devil, what does thy success amount to ; if the thing is unjust thou has not succeeded !" The edi tor of The Spectator it was, we believe, who said: " 'Tis not in mortals to com mand success but we'll do more Sempronius, we'll deserve it." Dollars are perhaps more necessary" today than ever before, and most of us have had at times an itching palm, perhaps, but the success measured , by mere money has never appealed to us. Nor does it command success in the judgment of those whose judgment and opinion counts for anything. " To Deserve Success"" De-aerve involves Service and this is the kind of success we eravewe would serve you serve you well give you the largest possible measure of service in ex change for your dollars, and thus gain your confidence and commendation. a. Saturday, then, at Kilpatrick's- We expect a successful tale. Reason: .Because we know we'll deserve it.. ,We jump frequently from Winter into Summer in this neck o' the woods, and scr w will let down the prices on wearables Saturday to prepare for possible eventualities. You'll find the values, therefore, quite unusual. Morning customers will profit most SUITS First Suit business has been immense. We' have had a most amazing harvest and this sale will be a sort of gleaning sale. Small lots left over of Serge, Tricotine, Velour and other popular materials, latest of fashions and splendidly made. Just 2 divisions :$29.75 and $37.50. - In the lot at $29.75 will be found regular $45.00 Suits, andmany Jn the $37.50 lot are really worth $69.50. " , Those who missed the Sale of Dresses Thursday will find consolation Saturday, for to average up and assort what was left we have added from stock many very desirable Dresses. Prices will be the same, viz., $19.75, $29.75 and $39.75. Out here we hardly appreciate how well off we have been in our freedom from strikes and labov troubles. Down east they have been raising Ned." We are glad to report that the ' "Blouse Strike" is finished and the difficulties settled. Every express now brings us new Blouses. We just received a lot made from what is known as Candy Stripe Silks. These Wash Waists are .much in demand. They are plainly tailored with high or low collars and the price is $7.95. And then there are many others of the dainty and dressy kind from Georgette and' Crepe de Chine, plain and embroidered, at $5.95, $7.95sand $9.75 each. From the Junior Section-'' comes news of cutting prices, also for this great May Sale. The number of suits to sell is small. 10 made from Serge and Poplin, belted models. A decided bar gain, at $19.75. 15 Suits-- of the finer kind, made from Serge and other Twills. These are beautifully tailored, each an exclusive model. $39.75. A day or two ago these would have cost you from $6.00 to $10.00 more, Young and old, alike, welcomed the Cape and Dolman. We have a few odd ones, on which we will make concessions Saturday. For Wee Bairns, 3 to 12 years, 2 specials, $9.75 and $13.75. For Missy and Miss, 12 to 17 years, 2 groups, consisting of Capes and Dol mans of Serge and Poplin, $13.75 and $19.75. That Eventful period in a" maiden's life "graduation" will soon be here. We have a rare gathering of suitable dresses, made from Vojje, Organdy and Crepe. , . Sweaters are still exceedingly popular. The damp, cool days made this garment very desirable. For Sat urday we will pile a counter high with wool mixed Sweaters for boys and girls who love the great outdoors; $1.98, $2.98, $4.98. ' ' 5 More Dresses for School Girs Saturday another Gingham Dress Sale. Pretty plaids and stripes for ages 5 to 16 years, $1.95 and $3.95. 450 House Dresses, at $2.95. Only 5 dozen to sell of Gingham" and Percale a Bungalow Aprons of same materials. The verything for comfort and convenience when engaged in Spring cleaning or yard chores, at $1.29 instead of $1.75 and $2.00 former prices. Those who arrive early enough to get some of these bargains we assure you will have no regrets. "Things are Not the Same as They Used to Be" This old saying is true of things' in many directions. For instance, there wasa time when we couldn't get 26-inch Japanese Colored Silks as fast as we coold sell them. At 50, 65 and 75 cents they melted away like the provei'bial snowball is supposed to do in Haides. Now they go slower than molasses in January, and yet, strangely enough, no fabric is really more desirable for foundations, for curtains, for linings, indeed, for fancy and dance costumes for misses. To turn inactive stock into money we price a lot at 39 cents yard. Satins and Jap Silks ; these are colored also and make most excellent linings, 29 cents per yard Saturday. This is not selling, but giving them away. Indeed, if they don't go with a rush at these prices we will give the balance away. Only about 1,500 yards, all told, and only very rare'y such bargains- Raw Silk hovers around $8.00 per pound these days. WHY THE CORSET? It is barely possible that if no 'Woman had ever worn a corset, no one would today feel the need of such a thing. ' Women who are properly corseted know the comfort, the grace, the style, that cornea from correct corsetiering. The R. & G. Corset is so well known that it i3 unnec sary for us to descant upon its charms. It may however, be proper to call attention to its econ omy; priced from $1.50 to $5.00 it is within the reach -of most purses. As a proper foundation for smartness of figure and style it is unsur passed, t , Our fitters are experienced. If -you would get the full benefit of their knowledge, tele phone ,for an appointment and for that time at least you'll be sure of a correct fit. , - Silk Envelopes- "Here is a real coaxer something that will attract those who love dainty Lingerie, made from wash silk, daintily trimmed in lace, $5.00 worth for $3.95. A recent express brought us another lot of Silk Gloves with double tips, and in the lot came a fair supply of those scarcest of colors, gray and brown, 75c the )pair,on Saturday, jind there's a Kid Glove Bargain also. We Have a Marvelous Gathering of Petticbats Many are of fancy Jersey Cloth, rather extreme novelties some of them, too, and three-color combination flounces. Others are embroidered by hand in striking designs. These come in the narrow style and are much in demand to wear with the late suit styles. - - To Revert to Corsets Again--? 1 , We have gathered into one lot a few pairs of this, that and the other grade, such as Modart, Kabo, Warner, Redfern and La Tosca, priced previously from $5.00 to $8.50. Saturday for quick riddance, $3.95. r As it Was in the Beginning! 1 of the kindly cutting by the philanthropic cutter of prices on toilet artclei, so it continues.' And it looks as if nc might say not only is) 'now, hut shall be for evermore. At any rale, just as long at anybody cuts, ne will meet the prices on whatever articles advertised life may have in stock, and there'll be no just out excuse made either. ( Character in Underwear- does not refer to the character of the wearer, but rather to the character of what the. wearer wears the Style, the Fit, the Finish, the Quality of the Yarn, in other words the integrity of the merchandise. - These are the things we claim forthe Underwear we sell, which, together with intelligent saleswomen, have made our business large and ever-growing larger. Saturday several lots will be offered at out-of-the-ordinary prices. F,or instance, Low-neck, knee-length, cuff or shell-knee, with band top finish really like selling dollars for 69 cents. ' v- ' American Hosiery and other mercerized suits which sold up to $2.00, at $1.25. Richelieu make, hand-crocheted finish for Saturday, at $1.49. .Children's Union Suits, high or low neck; special, at 69c. Children's Hosiery, at-29c pair. These are ribbed stockings, black only, were 35c. All-over Stockings forewomen, black only, 75c. Pure Silk Fashioned Hose, black, white, gray and bronze, with lisle top, at $1.00 and $1.50. All the newest and most wanted shades at this price. At $2.00 the new Dark, Brown, Battleship Gray, Navy, as well as the staple colors. These are in our, judgment the best wearing stockings made in America. , , BUSINESS is better than good, thank you; in the Wash Goods -Section. vMay we, simply suggest that you will make no error if you nioir mtt from the New Ginehams. the Printed Voiles, or the Organ dies.
