THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1919. 17 ft Women's Interests Facts Worth Knowing. Small apartments and small house seldom are built with a maid's bell. The one at the front, and occasionally the back, door suf fices. Even the dining room is without one in moderately priced places. Yet it it is a great saving for a mother with a small baby, for instance, to be able to summon her one maid from the kitchen without Calling to her or having to get up and go to the kitchen door. Save all the pretty brown or orange colored twine that comes around packages from the stores (or green or blue, if that suits better your scheme of decoration) until you have enough to reach twice from the kitchen to the room you use oftenest whether it is the liv ing room, the sewing room or the room devoted to the baby. Buy a child's bell, the kind that has a handle and a tongue and costs 10 cents. Purchase, too, a Chinese bookmark in any oriental shop. It h a card with beads knotted in it, a double silk tassel on the end, and costs 50 cents or $1, according to size. Or you may make one for much less than 50 cents, getting the material from a Chinese shop. , Now hang your pell loosely on a hook high up in the kitchen and lead the string from it, tied to the handle, along the moulding through two-point tack (brad is another name for them) to a handy place in the room where you spend most of your time. Attach the Chinese book mark to the end of the double string within easy reach of the hand. A slight tug on it will set the lit tle bell to tinkling in the kitchen and it's a smart looking affair at the mistress end, not unlike the impos ing bell cord In British houses.

The average general houseworker will not object to the innovation arid, unusual as it may seem, this little home-made contrivance will prove a real convenience. The same bell de luxe will work beautifully in a tiny apartment from the bedroom to- the kitchenette This suggestion is offered for what it is worth to the bachelor or studio girl who lives in, two or three rooms and employs a woman sometimes by the day. The bell will be found a bit of a luxury on the maid's days. Household Notes. Tea, cocoa or chocolate stains can usually be removed with cold water.

Suffrage in Wyoming. Women of Wyoming are calling upon Governor Carey to hasten the special session for ratification of the federal suffrage amendment, so that it will fall upon December 10, the 50th anniversary of the pas sage of the Wyoming suffrage bill. At a mass meeting of the Wyoming Conference of the Leeague of Wo men Voters, just held in Laramie, the university town, such a resolu tion was adopted, and signed by wo men from many counties of the state. It followed a dramatic incident in the speech made by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, who with a national staff of speakers, is conducting a series of conferences in western states in the interests of ratification. "And Wyoming has not ratified," said Mrs. Catt, and she said it just exactly 50 years to the minute from the night on which William Bright, by the light of a lamp, wrote the Wyoming equal suffrage bill the first successful suffrage bill carried out to complete fulfillment in any commonwealth in the world. It has borne fruit, Mrs. Catt reminded her hearers, in the enfranchisement of millions and millions, of women in America. Great Britain, Scandin avia, Africa, Australia "yet Wyoming has not" ratified." , A little ammonia in water cleans white paint beautifully. . " f tvaa there to make. a sketch of her.

If it be true that the soft collar is passing out of the wardrobes of young men in this country, we may be sure there are reasons which go deeper than that a ban has been put on it at one of our public schools, says the Manchester (England) "Guardian." The soft collar came in long before the war, and was not the result of anything so fortuitous as a mere shortage of starch. And men are no more to be' dictated to on a point of dress than womeri; the notion that it is only women who attend to the fashions is wrong. Until quite recent times, indeed, men and not women, were the leaders of fashion. In the Planta- genet period woman changed her at tire mucli less trequetly than man; again, the ruii in the Elizabethan period was man s invention. Women, in fact, were inveterate conservatives about dress until the middle of last century. They op posed innovations touching not only their own wardrobe, but aiso that of men. Was not the Duke of Well ington on a famous occasion for bidden by the ladies' committee of Willis's rooms to take part in a dance because he was wearing the then unfamiliar long trousers in stead of knee breeches? - The p iint to bear in mind, though, is that fashion with man has never been the capricious thing it so often is with woman; when he changes his dress there are usually deep reasons for it More than 20 years ago George Bernard Shaw discovered signs of a sartorial revolution going on in the country, and announced the doom of "boiled and ironed linen." And the modern soft collar is simply the point of nodality in m garb which came in with the ideal of the simple life, with the spread of golf, cycling and tennis. If it is about to be discarded we may be sure there will be no reversion to primitive" type in man's dress, even if its complements, the sports coats and the flannel trousers, go with it. In France, significantly enough, many young men are wearing the Byron collar or handsome scarves, and they are thinking of knee breeches again. That may be one reason why in this country there is some readiness to let the soft collar go to make way for something even more free and easy. Fashion is contagious the world over, and it is fairly certain that clothilg reform has come to stay. A Chinese Dinner By Miss Sze Me-tsung. FOR FOUR PERSONS. Turnip Soup. Turnips, two large ones.

British Humor. i They were speaking of English humor, and the Englishman now dwelling in Pittsburgh offered the following as a sample: . He was riding on a London tram- car when the driver became involved in an altercation with the conductor on the rear of a car just ahead. Both swore at one another violently as the cars moved slowly through a congested street Finally, being bested in the verbal battle, the con ductor tied a piece of string around the end of a lead pencil and then dangled the pencil toward the driv er. The latter became triore vitup erative than ever, keeping uo his harangue until the front car turned into another street. The English man said he was curious, and asked the driver why the dangling pencil made him swear so violently. 'Oh, that is just a little joke, be tween ourselves. You see, my father was hanged," he explained. "1 it-Bits. Young America v Must Have, More Fun International Xwa Seme ftatf Corre spondent. Washington, Nov. 27. -"Give a girl a straight eye and a clear brain and you will not have to worry about her heart being in the right place." There is expressed the view of a woman who some years ago left a little town in Iowa and has since made her way to the top of her pro fession a profession considered the one with the most competition sur rounding it It is that of a lawyer, and the woman is Mis Florence King of Chicago, a corporation lawyer. Miss King is the only woman who ever won a case before the Supreme Court of the United States, and her opinion is worth something when it comes to training girls. "With the greatest interest I, have watched the work of the War Camp Community service," she said, "and if there is anything "in the world America needs now it is com munity effort, and please spell it with capitals. Under the stress of war the .people came to work as almost one person. Humanity was in peril. Why not work like that all the time for a better country and a better place in which to live?. I see no reason why the effort should not be continued now harder than ever. Take hert in Washington where you have your thousands of war workers. The problem of recrea tion for the girls is a stupendous one. Then turn to Chicago. Think what our recreation problem is there.- Just recently one of our en terprising newspapers found s-me people who had never seen Lake Michigan I "What's your daughter doing is the greatest problem before this or any other country. It tiwajrs nas been and always will be. Give a girl a straight eye and a clear brain and you will not have to worry about her heart being in the right olace. The world has always wanted fun, to be amused. It wants that fun now as an aftermath to war more .than it ever did. The newspapers spend thousands of dollars giving us daily fun. The movies spend millions more and the theaters as much. "Now its is fun to watch fun, but it is much finer and lots more enjoyable to have a part in that fun. We get tired of watching all the time, and it seems to me that the truly successful community of the future is the community that can eet together and have fun all of itself, home-made fun and all the better fuh because of the fact that each and every one have a part in it. . "Wash ngton is in the lead in this work of community service Give the work the right of way, for in fun, recreation, pageantry, sing- in tr. vou will find the young men and women of today following the path you are laying put Red Cross Seals. .

It claims workers active men and women in the homes, the office and the shop. ' It causes 150,000 deaths in the United States every year.

I am, - MISS AMBITIOUS. Do you mean technical treatises on stenography T It so, I would recommend the Gregg magazine, which contains very helpful sugges tions; also, a book by Owen on de veloping speed In stenography. This book can be obtained from any good book dealer. My next recommenda tion would be for literature In the line of your work. If you are an In surance stenographer, try to acquaint yourself with the funda mental principles of Insurance; the same would apply to banking, law or any other business or profession. I do not mean you need to master the profession Itself, but rather that you should become familiar with the guiding theories and the expressions peculiar to that line, so that you can work Intelligently and assist your employers, particularly In their ab sence. Such faithful Interest In your work will bring its reward if not In actual cash, at least In your own development Keep up with current events for the sake of breadth and good citiienshlp. A few well chosen magazines will best as sist you !n this, such as the Literary Digest Outlook, and, for a different point of view, the New Republic. Does He Love Her? ; Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: Towards you I feel as Robert Louis Stevenson's email verse: "So long aa we love, we serve; So long aa we are loved by others, I would almost say, That we are Indispensable." So, Miss Fairfax, I shall appeal to you, for X consider your . advice above any other. A year ago I was going steady with a very nice young man. He treated me with the highest respect and he also seemed to like me bet ter than Just a friend. Our friend ship ceased , in the most unusual way after four months of constant friendliness. I saw very little of him until September last, when he called me up by 'phone and asked In a kind manner for an evening at the theater. I told him to call again and I would let him know for cer tain. This he did. and I said "yes" after I had thought it over. Since then we have been going steady. Now he tells me he loves me and. Miss Fairfax, do you think he does after our "first" friendship, and then renewing' the second one? Now please, it Is important, that you an swer this. Another question: What would be a suitable gift for Christ mas 'for this said friend? Thanking you and hoping the answer will ap pear in print very soon, I am sin cerely, MISS "BILLIE." It is quite possible that the young man thinks' a great deal of you, but I doubt if he really loves you. Love is so (almost) uncontrollable that he could hardly have been satisfied to leave yon so long, even though he believed he had good reason. Give him some simple, Inexpensive gift I cannot tell you what to give, since I do not know the young man or his likes and dislikes. . William S.
