Did you ever think that tables,
commqn, ordinary, kitchen tables,
could be just full of romance? Did
you realize that chairs and walls,
classes and door could lose their
everyday characteristics and hecome
fairy objects? You will probably
scoff and say "impossible 1" as did
"The Little-Tin-God," when the
', Friendly Visitor put the question to
him.-
Yet it is true absolutely true, for
Friendly had proved it.
If you had been with her at her
various first lessons on South
Sixth street, you, too, would prob
ably have seen the romance.
' When the mere naming of a table is
accomplished only through difficulty
and labor, its very name acquires a
new significance. '
Picture yourself a low, small
room, whose ordinary homely
atmosphere is entirely transfigured
by a new spirit. Around the table
are seated five dark-eyed mothers,
three of whom are carefully hold
ing tiny infants m their arms. Out
side on the porch is gathered a
group of wide-eyed curious young
sters and a few women who
haven't quite ventured to go to the
school. Seated at the table with
the women is the Friendly Visitor.
.She had banished "The Little-Tin-Cod,"
for no cynical folks are allow
ed her classes.

Friendly Visitor, more careful of her
enunciation than ever before in her
life.
"This is a table," "table" cautious
ly repeats Mrs. R.
"This is a table" carefully and
slowly repeats another woman.
And then the group repeats it and
repeats it again, until each is sure
that she knows it. If you could see
the shining brown eyes, bent earn
estly on the Friendly Visitor, eyes
shining with devotion to the ac
auirement of a new and difficult lan
guage. The sillent lips carefully j
mould themselves to each difficult 1
letter and syllable while another is
speaking. While the chosen . is
speaking she feels a great respon
sibility, and if she can successfully
say the sentence, is filled with pride
which she tries hard to conceal. V
. The babies too are interested,
even if they do testify it only in
lusty cries. If they could only learn
the language through listening.
"But," says Miss ) Theoretical
Teacher, "doesn't the crying of the
babies break he concentration of
your class?"
Well, what if it does? Isn't it
worth more to have the women
there, babies and all, than to prevent
their coming by saying that the
babies must be left at home in
order that the concentration of the
class may remain unbroken?
Ah, Miss Theoretical leacher, you
have much to learn, if you do not
value the babies and their concentration-breaking
cries I Even "The
Little-Tin-Qod," appreciates them I
What more can be asked?
But' there is just one difficulty.
Why should only 20 women be
reached why should only 20
iiave Citizenship brought to them?
Where, oh citizens of Omaha, are
ye? Of what value is your knowl
edge and your greatness, if you help
not your weaker sisters?
The banner of citizenship needs
workers, volunteer workers, and
then more volunteers I "Service" is
the the watchword of Omaha, and
here at your very door is an oppor
tunity greater than you know.
Do you, my enlightened sister,
dare to neglect it?

- The vest, that most picturesque
article of dress, was first worn in
the eighteenth century. At that
time, in our colonial days, it was a
gay and bright affairs of silks and
satins and brocades, very much like
the vests Miss Nineteen-Nineteen
has been wearing.
They were exquisite things indeed
and went beautifully with the satin
coats and lace ruffles, bat during
the last 50 years man's vest has
gone down to the sombre, heavy
thing it is today. So iin't it fit
ting that the modern miss should re
vive it in all its old glory?
Thanks to our movies, we have
still before us the gay and dashing
vest of the bad gambler of the wild
west of the time of ..the "forty
niners." That vest was a wonderful
bit"" of "scenery," enough to make
any man wearing one quite bold
and wickedl
The vests of the Victorian period
were less flowery than those of the
directoire and colonial times, but
impressive.
Now milady has found a place for
aW kinds and manners of vests
velvet, brocades, cloth of gold or
just plain ribbon. But they always
give a bright touch of color and a
certain bit of richness to an other
wise plain suit.

Only a GirL
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
am a girl, 17 years old. I am a
senior in high school and will grad
uate next spring. For over five
years I have cared greatly for a
young . man about my age, and I
know that he cared very earnestly
ror me. We had never considered
going with any one else. Last sum
mer he seemed to lose Interest in
me. I still care deeply and would
do anything in- my power to win
back his affections.
If a young man asks for a kiss,
how can you refuse without a quar
rel or hurt feelings?
Why do you consider it wrong
for a girl to kiss a boy good-night?
Thanking you in advance,
' "SOMEONE'S DEAR."
My dear little girl, have you been
so foolish since you were 12 years
old ? In the first place, you should
be having a good time, attending lit
tle parties given by other girls and
their parents. You should be en
Joying the frolics of youth. By giv
ing all your time to this one boy
you have shut out from your life
half of its glory. Be a young girl
for a while there is plenty of time
for love later on. "Who said I con
sidered it wrong for a girl to kiss a
boy good-night? I said it was
mightily unwise if not dangerous.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
read your "Advice to Lovelorn"
every evening and have come to
you for advice.
I have been going with a girl ot
about 17 years of age for about two
months and found out she has been
going with other boys more than she
goes out with me.
1 nave asked ner many times to
go out and she would say she could
not go.
Do you think it is right for me to
quit going with her? There have
been many girls who turned me
down when I asked them to go out.

would like to have some young wo
man help me save my money.
I am 21 years old.
Thanking you in advance, I re
main, LONESOME BOY.
This girl evidently does not love
you. Why worry about one when
there are so many other nice girls
who are lonesome and would prob
ably enjoy your society? Why don't
you consult with director of War
Camp Community and Join some of
their clubs? They have nice parties
and dances and you would meet
pleasant company at any of them.
' Kissing and Hugging.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
do not believe in girls and boys
spooning and hugging each other,
as a rule, and have never made a
practice of it, but would like to
know if there can not be an excep
tion. I have a boy friend, who is a lit
tle related to me. . We are very good
chums, have been working together
seven months.
I am no flirt and have always been
considered sensible and decent In
every way.
Now, I have hugged and kissed
this boy sometimes, as we both feel
lonesome sometimes, and can see no
harm in it as long as we are not
flirting and false, but have the
understanding. It is for very good
friendship's sake. Of course, if it
is not right, we do not want to do it.
Am anxious for your advice.
We trust each other perfectly.
WANT-TO-DO-RIGHT.
Kissing and hugging is dangerous
pastime, especially where both the
boy and girl are lonesome. Friend
ship doesn't require osculatory ex
pressionbeware of it. Nature
knows no sensible boundaries be
ware of fire when you play with
matches. It is not a question of
whether or not kissing and hugging
are right it is a question of safety
first to dispense with it.
They're "Guying" You.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
Can you please decide which is
right? A lady in thanking two gen
tlemen for favors bestowed her in
conclusion said, "J certainly think
you are fine fellows." She was told
that the word "fellows" was the
same as though she had said, "You
are certainly fine guys." What do
you think? Please insert at your
very earliest convenience, for which
I thank you in advance, T. D. B.
While the word "fellow" is not
an elegant appellation, it is not
synonymous with "guy," "Fellow"
has a wide range of meaning, al
most any one of which is more com
plimentary than "guy."
She Will Live it Down
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
Am in need of some advice and
yours being so good I thought I'd
see if you can help me.
I am 14 and quit school this year.
Was awful sorry to stop, for I al
ways longed for a high school edu
cation, but my mother objected to
my attending school, so I am stay
ing home. Do you think I'm too
young?
How can I make my hands nice
and white? 'What makes them so
red and big? I think it's when one
works too hard. I have flat feet,
which spoil the shape of the foot.
How can I make my feet look bet
ter? What can I do to have nice
finger nails. Dp you think I'm old
enough to chum with my boy
friends? All my girl friends do
it. I see no harm in it myself. I
comb my hair up and rolls over the
ears. At first I wore it in 'a braid,
but all the girls comb their hair this
way now. Is it nice?
What material would be nice for
a dress for myself? I correspond
with some of my boy friends, is' it
proper? Hope to get your kindest
advice, and thanking you for it I
am, most lovingly,
"JOLLY FOURTEEN."
Do I think you are too young?
You can't help it if you aren't any
older, and I think you can live it
down in time, You ought to be In
school, and if there is any , possible
way for you to get back there, by all
means &o. If you cannot attend
school, make yourself as useful as
possible wherever you are obliged
to be. Do not think you must be
in a school room in order to learn.
Well chosen reading and life's ex
perieilces are greatest of teachers.
Worry about what's in your head
an 4 forget about your hands and
feet except to give them proper care
and protection. It ifl all right for
a girl of your age to have boy
friends Indeed you should be on
friendly terms with ail the world,
but do not make the mistake of de
voting time and thought to them
which should be given to your phy
sical and mental development at this
period of life. There is no harm in
Lila A shower Is given a week
or two before the .wedding, and
when you leave the house you
should thank the hostess for her
kindness. If they ask for a toast,
express you thanks simply and sin
cerely. Send a personal note of
thanks to every one who sends you
a gift. Make a list of your gifts and
the donors, so that you may men
tion specifically their present and
thank them accordingly. Do not
send your wedding invitations until
10 days before the wedding.
