Djrsr. ;' 'Society MISTS from dreamland seemed to float before our eyes bringing with them the dainty fairy creatures known as the Marion Morgan dancers. Who could have believed that they were anything but creatures of the realm of Pan? Their beauty and grace was that of the naiads and the nymphs, who dis ported themselves on the banks of the Tiber before the temples of the mighty gods. ' But, could you have been behind the scenes at the Orpheum fol lowing their performances you would surely have known that they were just honest-to-good-ness American girls. Cries of "Wa ter more hot water," came from their dressing rooms. Others were calling for "A bar of soap, please," to remove the makeup which they ware during their dances. ' These 20 maids are mostly from I.os Anceles or western coast. They 1 are airls who have not had a great ' deal of training under teachers other than Marion Morgan. For two months before the production of the 'ballet they trained constantly under ' the watchful eyes of their teacher - from whom not the slightest detail might escape. . Miss Morgan is a deep student of , statuary, literature and history, from which she draws the material for ! her ballets. In this, her greatest - work, she has chosen the plot fur nished by the Hun ruler, Attila, a barbarian filled with hate and greed. The scenery, the costuming and the dances were all originated by Miss Morgan. The ballet is so carefully planned -that it is difficult to believe that the dancers are not the maidens whom "they portray. What 'a different story it is behind the scenes! There the theme is not of the Roman maiden Illdica, but of "Hot water f and some soap." Henrietta Rees Eentertains. " Miss Henrietta Rees entertained at an attractive tea Monday after- f noon at her home, in South Twenty second street, from 4 until 6 o'clock in honor of her sunt, Mrs. Thomas Rees, of Springfield, 111., who is her Large vases of deep pink gladiolus were used through the rooms and . settees, rugs and cushions, made at tractive corners on the spacious veranda of the Rees home.

Today The world is gray A sad and sorry place ' For us to live, I often question The "idea" in sending me To earth To suffer and to sin. Good I have done 1 Amounts to naught Fame has been A sorry jest A hollow mockery A grinning skull Through whose picked bones There lurks Another tale to tell About success. The world would not listen Even if I told the truth That after all Its Happiness ; . And not applause That leads the fight And wins fat Cupid's Croix de Guerre. Happiness 1 Ah mel And what have I I who work and struggle Toward The rainbow's end Whereat there hangs No pot of gold Or even consolation. I know that Life Is hardly worth the living That victory is at best But half-pay for the strife. x Why be such fools as we Who fight and starve For spiritual blessings! There are none Sometimes I think The dead all live. Such foolishnessl Some say that suicide Is sin. .What sin -is there To end one's earthly Misery. Tonight I shall take poison. No-not that. Poison is so hideous. I'll place my tiny pistol To my heart And stop its beating. No this is better. I'll fling myself Into the rapids Just below the falls .That's it The Falls! Although On second thought I'd better wait A day or two ' For tomorrow Henrietta's having tea This is a sad old world I And we have such fun (There are no Bine Devils) At Henrietta's teas. SELAH!

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 Wants Work. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee'. I am now just like the rest coming to you for advice.. Some time ago I had the greatest misfortune of all my life when I lost my mother.

In the hope that you can give me some advice, I am as ever and will be, A MOTHERLESS CHILD. You haven't told me Just what you can do , beside housework. If you knit well you might be able to take orders for sweaters, or If you are a good needlewoman there are many avenues oyen to you. Why don't you learn to make pretty bags, everyone carries them and I am sure you could receive many or ders if you would just ask your friends. Sometimes scraps of rib bon and silk that you have on hand with the addition of an ivory top and a silk tassel make the loveliest of bags. Pawn Shops.

If you will only have the answer in print I will be satisfied, therefore you will not have to have this letter in print. Is there any Jewelry or pawn shop here in Omaha where one can sell second-hand rings at a reason able price? Also are there any music stpres where one can sell music that has never been used?

I like the country best because I have lived in the country most of my life and will be a good helper for a country bachelor. I would like to hear from some good respectable bachelor that wants a helper. Must be close to school. Thanking you in advance, I am, MRS. M. R. RAKES, Care J. H. Tarns, Pattsmouth, Neb. I am sure there is some place waiting for you where you can keep house and have your children with you. Housekeepers are very scarce, especially on the farms. Wants to Adopt Child. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I always read your columns and think It just splendid, so here I come for a little assistance, al though mine is not a love affair. 1 wknt to adopt a baby boy anywhere fromthe age of 1 day to 6 or 8 months or so old. I have been to all the places, both in Omaha and the Bluffs, and also wrote to Milford, Neb., but of no avail. They did not none of them, have a thing, so I thought perhaps you may know of some one personally who would have a child they would like to adopt out We live in the Bluffs. My husband is a railroad man and is away a great deal, which makes it pretty lonesome for me. We have no children of our own. He makes good money and we have a nice place here. We are buying our own home. We are just a young couple, 27 and 29 years old. I am sure the baby would have a nice home and I will give it the best of care, as I just dearly love babies. Hoping that some one will see this and help me out, I am respectfully yours, MRS. A. R. C, 805 South Thirteenth Street, Coun cil Bluffs, la. .P. S. My telephone number is Red 2637. Address the Salvation Army Res cue Home at Twenty-fourth and Spalding streets. They may be able to help you. In Korea widows never remarry. Even though they have been mar ried only a month, they must not take a second husband. Worth Knowing. A rubber garden apron is a great convenience. Use raw peanuts for salting when ever possible. To clean copper rub it with a lemon dipped in salt. An electric vacuum cleaner expe dites housework greatly. A row of screw hooks above the sink are very convenient. If you haven't time to wait for soup to get cold you can remove the gre.se by dipping a cloth in ice water and straining the soup through this. The cold cloth will congeal grease and you will have a clear soup. The Rhode Island suffrage party is planning to organize a body of 500 women voters into a vigilance com mittee for good government.
