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. De
cide on a code of rings with the one
maid one tinkle for baby's bottle,

for instance: two. to come and an
swer the telephone, and so on. 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.
A good cooked salad dressing can
be kept for a fortnight in a refrig
erator. i 7
Babies sometimes acquire a dislike
for cow's milk through improper
feeding.
When boiling, a kettle should
never be quUe full, as it is apt to
boil over. ,
During the winter pickles and rel
ishes will replace lettuce and salad
greens.
Straight hancinar dresses are the
most satisfactory for working about
the house.
For Hot Kettles.
Ah old catalogue or a mngarine on
the shelf oi the range or the
kitchen table makes a good pad on
which to set kettles. By tearing off
the top page when soiled, the pad is
kept always clean.
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." ,

Will Men Wear Byroriic Collars "
and Knee Breeches Again?
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.

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.

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

over the annual sale of seals from
December 1 to 10. They know the
deadly effects of the disease and
are anxious to help- combat it They
know that tuberculosis kills pro
ducers chiefly, men and women be
tween the ages of 15 and 4S. ..
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.
It costs the United States in
economic waste alone about $500,
000,000 annually. .
More than 1,000,000 persons in
this country are suffering from ac
tive tuberculosis right now.
It menaces every community,
every home and every individual.

FIFE!E
To m Stenographer.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
Kindly Inform me what books you
think would be profitable for a
stenographer to read? 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. .
