Dear Mi..s Fairfax: Am writing

farm in Nobiuskn. Ht.i wife died a

a very dear and lovable girl. 4 years

he has asked ik to try and hnlp
him find some one.
So now I niik you to.kinrMy ludp

Ueae Miss Fairfax: 1 am a food
looking gill of twonty-one and have
been going about with a young man
shorter than myself. It embarrasses
nie very much when we ko out walk
ing because of tho differences in our
hi'iKht, but my love for him Is
greater than anything in all this
world. Not only has he won my
heart by his kindness and affection,
but lieeause lie so bravely served in
the great war. Now, Miss Fairfax,
do you think that the difference in
our height will mar our future hap
piness? A. L. is.
Whether this physical diffioult.v is
to mar your future happiness or to
bo a triflo you'll good-naturedly ac
cept and smile awuy depends on you.
Which matters more yaur. love or
your fear of ridicule and wllit "they
say?" Which do you consider vital
congeniality and affection or ap
pearance? This great difference in
ytoir height is nothing- or enough to
make for misery just to how you
take it.
The Danger of Plants in
Bedroom. ,
liedrootus should not contain
flowers or plants, particularly over
night. Carbonic acid gas. the pois
onous gas whicli is given out in the
exhalation of humans, i evolved
from the colored parts of flowers
both by niirht and day, and from the
green parts iit addition at night. It
is therefore the part of wisdom to
recognize this fact. ,It is pleasant to
have flowers in a guest room, but
for the reason just set forth they
should not remain in the sleeping
chamber. The way to get around
the difficulty is by the use of a window-box.

. Among the newest and most fa
vored kinds of -pique are the
"pique vague",11 on which chain
stitches, black, blue, yellow, run in
waving lines, and the "pique do
Cordone," with agreeable quilted ef
fects. The latter will be seen in the
sunny days in the form of coats to
wear with a skirt of black crepe do
chine or with an accordion-pleated
skirt of white organdie.

Regarding Pavlowa.
A board meeting of j the Tuesday
Musical club was '' held Tuesday
morning at the Motel Fontcnclle to
make plans for tlie Pavlowa ballet,
which will appear under' their aus
pices, Thursday evening, December
30. at the Municipal Auditorium.
It was decided that the member
ship seat sale should open on Thurs
day, December 16. Members may
exchange for as many members as
they desire and many also huy as ;
many additional tickets as they wish. J
This is contrary to the general plan ,
of the club but these exceptions are j
being made owing to the fact that
this attraction is to be given in the
Auditorium and that Omahans who-
have holiday guests may wish to
entertain large parties.
The public sale of scats will open
December 20. Mrs. C. W. -Axtell.
119 North Thirty-second street, will
receive mail orders from out-of-town i
people who wish to attend. There
will be no war tax on seals for this
attraction. .
A request for tickets ha been re
ceived by Mrs. Axtell from Chadron,

'A Niehart, 4677 Leavenworth St., says: "I
caught a cold and it went to my kidneys. I could
hardly bend over to put my shoes on. My back
felt as though there were a heavy weight on it
that was just holding me down. With the least
move, sharp darting pains would shoot through
my kidneys like a ' thousand needles. I w,iuld
have to get tip frequently at night to pass the
kidney secretions. A few Doan's Kidney Pills re- ;
lieved my condition. I kept on with Doan's until
fl had usfcd a couple-boxes which removed the
trouble from my back and made my, kidneys
healthy again." . . .'-

Mrs. A. F. Lorance, 1421 Ohio St., says: "I
was feeling rjiiserable nd could hardly do my
housework. hardly knew what was. the matter
with me,-.but 'finally made up my mind it was
kidney trouble. My back whs weak and lame
and I would tire easily across my back when I
would be on my feet long attime. I ako had
headaches. A friend told nuTthat she believed
Doan's Kidney Pills woultj be good for me. One
box was all I had to use and I have not been
bothered since. My kidneys are. now strong and
in fact I feel like a different woman." '

South Seven tee:, h Street
Mrs. Leroy Hurd, 2923 S. 17th St., says: "I
could hardly get around because of the pains in
my back. They would cut through my kidneys
and feel like needles sticking into me. I could
hardly, bend over and my kidneys were disor
dered. - I could get no rest at night because of
the pains and would be tired mornings. A mem
ber of my family had used Doan's Kidney Pills
and advised me to try them. I only used a couple
boxes of Doan's and have not been troubled
since.- I believe if others suffering- from kidney
disorders would give, Doan's a trial they would
be convinced that they are a good reliable
'remedy." ,

Geo. McCabe, retired farmer, 1607 Castelar
St., says; VI have used Doan's Kidney Pills
vhen my kidneys have needed attention and they
have always regulated them. At these" times my
kidneys acted too frequently, especially at night,
and the secretions burned in passage and were
highly colored. I would have an awful tired feel
ing Across the small of my back that would make
it almost impossible for mei straighten. A box
of Doan's Kidney Pills at ch timet has always
correcfe4 the trouble whenever I have the.
slightest sign."- ' . :

Will McNamara, proprietor of barber, .shop,
5214 North Twenty-fourth street, says: "I suf-..
fered from disordered kidneys, which I think i
was caused from being on my feet so much. My
back was lame and painful and therewas a hazy
appearance beforo my eyes. My kidneys acted
too freely, too. I read about Doan's Kidney
Pills and bought a box at the Adams-Haight
Drug Co. Through the use of Doan's all the
trouble was driven away and I have never heen
bothered since." ,
