Anon,
THE idea of hiring a real home
dinner cooked outside the
home, brought to the home
several hour perhaps, before the
time set for the meal, and put upon
the table steaming hot at the ap
pointed time, was amazing a few
years ago. Yet that is what is hap
pening today in some places, due to
the community kitchen.
The Woman's club of Evanston,
III., has established a community
kitchen, an outgrowth of war-time
food conservation activities, which
has already proved its value in
many homes. It serves a simple
dinner of soup, meat, two hot vege
tables or one vegetable and a salad,
and a dessert at from about 85 cents
to $1 a person. The meal, cooked
by experts in the cc.tral kitchen, is
packed in glass-lined, metal, insula
ted containers of pleasing shape,
which may be set directly upon the
table and used as serving dishes,
thus eliminating still more work for
the busy housekeeper. These dishes
are so constructed that they fit .to
gether, one upon the other, . on a
solid base. Over them an outer
jacket or case of insulated steel is
placed, clamped securely to the base
and the" whole is ready for delivery
sby motor truck to the home kitchen.
The community kitchen is a fit
ting supplement to electric labor
saving devices. In the opinion of
many it is the next step in simpli
fied living.
, v Occupational Survey.
The Young Women's Christian as
sociation is conducting a survey of
New York City and vicinity to in
vestigate opportunities for women
trained in employment and personal
work, in publicity work and in work
requiring linguistic ability. During
the war a great many women de
veloped capabilities never before
suspected by themselves. Having
become expert during their period
of war service, they are now able to
fill similar positions in civil life, and
the Y. W, C. A. employment service
has received many applications from
them for( work along these lines.

Women in Italy.
The recent law repealing a previ
ous ope according to which no Ital
ian woman might engage in com
mercial transactions without her
husband's authorization is butone
"Important ' symptom of a rapidly
altering situation. As elsewhere, so
in . Italy, woman'a war . work re

to herself; before she could not en
gage in any profession except medi
cine,' while now the whole field is
open to her. Despite previous han

One pound scallops, one cupful

tablespoonfuls butter, one egg yolk,
one large sprig of parsley.
Wash and boil the scallops, using
enough water to cover. Into a dou
ble boiler blend the butter and flour.

Claimed as Kidnaped Son
By Another Woman
in Court Room.
New York, Dec. 23. (Special
Telegram.) "Love o' Mike" was
the little baby who figured in the
star role in court here when Judge
Levy heard the cases of two women,
both claiming the baby as their own.
The judge awarded the child to
Mrs. Mena Lisa after she told the
court her story of wishing for her
child to be cared for by Mrs. Eliz
abeth Seaman, on - whose doorstep
the child was found, because of
straitened circumstances. Her
mother instinct could not be
downed, however, when the new
came that Mrs. August Wentz
claimed the child as her' kidnaped
son.

Republican Women Wear
Tiny Ivory Elephants
In Washington.
The New York Tribune publishes
the following dispatch from its
Washington Bureau:
"Republican women officially con
nected with the party organization
have started a fad for wearing small
white ivory elephants on goM chains
or narrow black ribbons around their
necks. "" This "fashion Ts' being car
ried to many parts of the country
by the folks who came here to at
tend the National Executive com
mittee meeting just adjourned. To
Rhode Island-is given the credit for
originating the custom, as Mrs. Ed
ward S. Moulton, the state chair
woman, was one of the pioneers in
the movement.
"When Mrs. Moulton aooeared in
Washington this week with 'the
gleaming elephant at her throat the
other women were so delighted with
the effect they immediately wanted
a similar indication of their affilia
tion with the party. So Miss Mary
Garrett Hay, chairman ot the execu
tive committee of the women's divi
sion, selected the white elephants as
dinner favors on the occasion of
her formal welcome to the visiting
women."
O. T. Club.

Becoming to Blonde
and Brunette .
Most becoming to the blonde are:
Jade earrings of palest jade, with
quaint silver mountings and pend
ants. - '
Furs of gray or bluish gray, such
as moleskin, gray fox, blue lynx or
chinchilla, are most becoming with
a clear pink and white complexion.
Turquoise worn in . any form
makes., her skin look a dazzling
white. A toque of turquoise velvet
or a hand craft necklace of these
stones set with silver are charming.
Blue grays make fetching cos
tumes in -either the strictly tailored
mode or the dress frock of silk and
georgette.
Black velvet hats or coats are be
coming to her. too.
Dark green for the sports jacket
is a suggestion. ' :
Becoming touches for the brunette
are black jet beads worn with either
black or white. .
Henna, colored wrist ribbons of
moire or grosgrain.
White fur or marabou worn on
either a neckpiece or hat.
Rhinestone hair ornaments, set in
either platinum or mother of pearl in
the new style, contrast most effec
tively with black hair.
Red beads with the serge frock.
The new black velvet ribbon cir
clets, worn as bracelets with up-to-date
short sleeves. These are tipped
with tiny flowers and are most
piquant and lovely on a youthful
wrist. . '

Bonk tor Dance HaOa.
Daar Hiss Fairfax:
This la the first time I have writ
ten to you. But not on any love
affair. Can't be bothered. It la
about dancing. I am 1? yeara of
age and my parents disagree with
me Just because I like to go to
daneee. I am considered good-looking
and have a dark complexion, and
a set of dark blue devilish eyes, and
I really think I waa made for a dance
hall. Do you think it is wrong for
me to go to daneea. I am not quite
through high school. Hoping to
hear from you aoon, I am,
One of the three roughneck,"
4 "HAPPY."
You are particularly fortunate In
having the complete set of dark
devilish eyes at 17. The dark com
plexion may, or may not, be In your
favor that depends on how well you
shimmy. - If you were made for a
dance hall It will not hinder your
chances, for becoming a .regular
roughneck vamp, to wait until you
finish high school
" Does He Heal 7
Dear Miss Fairfax:
As I have so often read your ad
vice to others on all important ques
tions. I. too. am coming for advice,
but on no love affair. Some few
weeks ago the paper stated about
some man who could heal sick peo
ple without medicine. Now, what
I want to Know is, lr mere is any
truth about it As my dear mother
is sick and no doctor can do much
for her, I thought it would be fine
to go to this man if he could do her
any good. Also, could you tell me
how much the fare is to Carlisle,
Ind., and if he is there yet? Hoping
to hear from you at an early date,
or If you wish to put my letter in
print. I remain,
HAZEL EYES.
P. 8 Could you also tell me
what the population ot Carlisle is,
please?
I am not personally acquainted
with the "healer," but suggest that
you write to him for acourate in
formation. The ticket agent at Oak
land can tell you what the fare is
to Carlisle, Ind.
An Interesting Case.
Dear MIsa Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
read with much interest of the trou
bles that your "clients" have, and
some of them have about as much
real trouble as Wilson does with his
peace treaty. I sure feel sorry tpt
one stoning herself "M.' A." and
think that an experience of mine will
throw some light on her problem.
She is really in earnest, but the
Door airl is playing her cards against
a stacked deck in the form of "Pa"
V
and "Ma," stealing her aces.
A young moulder met a girl In
Chicago where she was going to
school. He was working at his
trade in a South Side foundry. When
the school term was out the girl
went home, satisfied with the pros
pects of taking care ot her moulder's
pay. check and putting up his dally
lunch. Her departure was with an
earnest Invitation to come and meet
"Pa" and "Ma" and the rest of the
family did aa soon as he could. The
mouler did.
A picture taken one noon hour at
the foundry put. the first crimp In
the game. Overalls and a grimy
faes did not set well with ma's idea
of daughter's matrimonial ship.
Pa's Ideas of financial backing went
further than a substantial pay check
and a steady Job. To make a long
story short the moulder left with
a warm spot in his heart as far as
the girl was concerned, but needing
an overcoat in July to make 'up for
"pa" and "ma's" welcome
atmosphere. Respect for his own
father and mother caused the young
man to leave the girl to her parents'
wishes
They got what they wanted for
her later, a young fellow taking it
easy with "dad's" money filled the
bill very nicely. A bill for divorce
fallowed about a year later. Pa and
ma sunk the ship. This Is a per
sonal experience, but then our own
experiences are what we judge
from.
The philosophy of It Is this: The
fellow who works hard for what he
gets comes home at night content to
stay and be with the woman who
makes it pleasant for him what few
hours he has to himself. The con
tentment she brings to him in that
time makes her the most wonderful
woman there is to him. There's a
neace in the slmDle life hard to beat.
A roll of Jack is not necessary, for
the New York Life or the Fruaenuai
will take care of those we leave if
one tends to that precaution. They
never failed to pay a policy yet.
The above is answer to "M. A.'s"
first question. The second she should
remember that a boy always inherits
the traits of his mother invariably,
so it does not make much difference
about "dad's" traits, mental, per
sonal or otherwise. It is not society
anyway that keeps the world going,
it is folks, Just plain folks who work,
pay their bills, and help each other
and get the best in life out of it
while living.
The cape, drag and pouring ladle
don't mix with good handwriting,
but guess you can get my effort, as
well as our Interrogator if she reads
and thinks it over. I thank you.
THE MOULDER.
There Is little comment to make.
Your letter contains splendid phil
osophy and good sense.
Engagement king.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a young man. I wish to give
an engagement ring and want to
know your view as to how much I
should Invest in it.
I am not overly burdened with
money. I have only $2,000 as yet.
How much do you think a man of
the stated means should Invest In a
ring?
I want to have some one's Idea on
It, and take this way to avpld em
barrassment of asking some one
with whom 1 1 am personally ac
quainted. Thanking you for this answer.
Yours very truly, ,
A READER.
Diamonds are very expensive. A
small ring costs 1150, and a karat
about $500. A cluster is less ex
pensive and very pretty. The price
you Should pay depends upon the
amount of salary you receive rather
than the amount ot money you have
saved. If $1,000 is the savings of
a lifetime, I would not recommend
a large investment in a diamond ting.
Heartbroken Mothers ' I haven't
the least idea what you wish to
know. Under ordinary circumstances
I have not the time to write personal
letters, but If you will send a stamped
envelope tell-me what you wish to
know, I will make an exception in
your case.
Faith Underestimated.
Brownie: If your organization is
identified With a ohurch, perhaps
you could hold your meetings 'in tho
church building. The Y. W. C. A. Is
very generous toward organizations
of women and girls and you might
consult them about your plans.
"Entre.Nous," meaning in French,
"Among Ourselves," is a nama often
chosen for small social groups. Or
you might use Oreek letters Which
represent alphabetic characters. Al
pha Gamma, for Instance, would
mean, A. O., which might stand for
"All Girls." Perhaps yon would like
an Indian name taken from the
Omaha tribe. Some one at the city
library would be able to help you
in this.
"Thirteen" If you wish to have
nothing whatever to do with the boy,
simply Ignore his notes and do not
answer any ot them. If he inter
feres with your school work do not
accept any invitations from him.
Use your own Judgmnet in the mat
ter and h will see that you do not
wish to associate with him. Your
writing Is legible but not especially
good. Your spelling needs improvement.
Washing Embroideries.
An excellent method for prevent
ing colored embroideries from los
ing tone when washed is to put
them through bran water. The
bran may first be boiled, the water
strained off and the bran then added
to the water in which the work is to
be washed in the proportion of a
handful to a pint of warm water, or
the bran may be boiled in a bag so
as to be strained by one and the
same process.
