A F. F. Xot by the baptism of fire was she received into the great brotherhood, but with a sprinkling of gasoline I Veritably, a solid gold shampoo, for 'think of the price of this sparkling fluid! The former Omaha gift, who has luxuriant tresses would have much preferred hot water plus large quantities of soap, but the French hairdresser had it his way. Enlisting the aid of three chap lains. Miss Fleishman procured a motor ride to Dijon, about 25 kilo meters from Is-Sur-Tille, where she is stationed, and the blithesome four drove into town and halted in front of the shop which bore the largest "Coiffeur" sign and the cleanest looking exterior. The suave-appearing, Van Dyke bearded French man smilingly bowed the young war worker into his inner sanctum, en veloped her in a large towel and be gan operations. She waited in pleasant anticipa tion for the foamy lather, but none was forthcoming. Instead a pecu liarly familiar odor greeted her for she had just ridden down in a leaky Ford. Could it be, possible? In deed, very possible for little rivers of the gasoline were trickling down her neck and in her eyes. With one , wild leap she left the chair and in a French-American combination of sentences tried to convey to the gentleman that she did not want a gasoline shampoo. She begged for hot water, but alas there was none! What should s,he do? One glance in the mirror at her disheveled ap pearance and she knew that she was at the mercy of the bearded villain for she could not appear on the street in that condition. So she set tled back with a sigh of resignation and let him have his way. A little more patting and rubbing and whir an electric fan was permitted to blow her tresses about gaily. Slowly but surely the excess eau d'automo bile began to disappear and the faintly sweet perfume of eau de cologne to be substituted for it. While behind a gaudy screen the shop's force laughed discreetly , about the amusing Americaine and her ignorance of what was proper and fitting in the best kind of a shampoo! "But when Miss Fleishman return- 'ed to camp and relate her thrilling adventure how she had fought the whole war over again in the coiffeur shop in Dijon not a bit of sym pathy did she receive from the blase doughboys who thronged her huK "That's nothing!

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 Bashful or Bold. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: We are two girls of 13 and 15 and will be in the ninth and 10th grades. We are coming to you for him for years. Is it proper for him to take girls of our afte home from parties i$ a car? We, have known for years. Is it proper for him to take our arm while walking home from any social doings? Should we allow him to put his arm around us while riding in his car? One of us refused to kiss a boy one night while coming home from a party. He told some boys and now they nick-named me "Bash ful." What would you do about it? Please answer this soon, as we are anxious to know. RIETA AND MAY. Provided the boy is respectable lt is all right to ride home with him if he goes directly there. Have you girls only one arm for the two of you? Since you have only one, according to your letter, you had better not let him take it, as he might keep the arm. I think the boy would have a rather difficult time to put one arm around two girls and' drive the car with the other. He had better behave hlm- V self and avoid an automobile acci dent. Which would you prefer to be nicknamed, - Bashful" or "Bold?" Carter Lake Club. T. Wearne entertained five guests at dinner at the Carter Lake club Monday evening. Foursomes were given by H. M. Thompson, A. F. Sorenson and Albert Edholm. A. L. Meager of Sioux City is vis iting at the home of A. F. Sorenson. Church Picnic.

A picnic was given Sunday af Lake Manawa, by the Cudahy Pack ing company for their office em ployes. Veils were originally worn by Jewish women with the idea of cov ering up their hair. A Would-Be Movie Star. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I have often read you "Advice to the Lovelorn," also your advice on many other subjects, so I have de cided to see what you could do for me. No, my case is not about love affairs, as I have failed to reach the stage where I could express my affections for the opposite sex pub licly. 1 am a middle-sized young girl, 16 years of age. I am not considered pretty in personal looks, but they say that "handsome is as handsome does," and that is where I get my popularity. I have considerable talent for music and dancing and I would like to join the movies. Everybody says they think I could do well in the movies, especially in the comedies. Can you tell me where "I could gain any information concerning this subject? I am almost through lugn school, but would like to get som training before I become too old. Do you think if I wrote to one of the "stars" that I rould receive any valuable information? They say it takes money to be come an actress, but as Jar as that is concerned, my folks are well-to-do and could easily stand the ex pense. I have two chums who would also like to Join, but their financial conditions might prevent their doing so. Thanking you kindly, your grate ful friend, DARLENE. About the last thing in the world I should advise a girl to do is join the movies. The life is fuMl of sacri fice, the work is hard and uncertain. It your folks have plenty of money you can find happiness in a much better place than a movie show, Not one girl In a thousand becomes a star. In Norway, a husband and wif who wish to part have first to apply to a magistrate, who sends them to a conciliation board, a committee which investigates the case and tries to reconcile the couple, and per suade them to try again, if the at tempt does not succeed they are granted a separation order. At the end of one year the ministry of justice is bound to make the divorce final if asked to do so by either party. The whole proceedings are very cheap, the cost ranging from $1 to $2 up to $25.
