Heroes Mother Writes
on Coming of Peace

A tragic letter from the mother OF
two heroes of the war, one of them
reported killed in action, is one OF
the belated contributions to The
Bees letter contest of war brides
and mothers, which closed Satur-
day.
"What does the coming Of peace
mean to your" was the question The
Bee put. Mrs. Charles Brinda, OF
Valentine, Neb., mother of Sergt.
John Brinda, who won the distin-
guished service cross, and of Pri-
vate Leo Brinda, age 81, who. was
killed III action October 16. writes
Tas follows:
"How did we feel when the great
news of peace came? Here is one
mother that thought how glorious
the news was, because she had two
| boys over there, and when she read
her sons name awarded a distin-
grished service cross for heroism,
in the paper of the 10Th, her JOY
was overlooking, but like many a
mother, not thinking of the cost,
just thinking the war was over, and
planning every hour for the boys
return.
But the joy did not last long, for
on the 2lst came telegram telling
of one Of her boys killed in action
October l6, five weeks before we
heard, and always waiting for that
letter with the. Christmas coupon,
that the stilled hands could never
send. Then came a bitter sorrow
that can never be effaced, but we
must still feel the JOY for the brave
one we hope that is to return.
Maybe there is many mother
like myself that thought the war
was over, but did not think how
many poor boys laid down their
lives in the last battle. We did not
hear from our other boy yet so do
not know if he is alive or not"

Coral chiffon cloth, falling over
flesh pink meteor, makes a lovely
negligee. In this model deep cream
lice is turned up on the waist to
meet the shoulder straps of coral
chiffon. Long, loose, graceful
sleeves of chiffon drape the should
ers and hang at the sides. A belt
of deep coral velvet ribbon encircles
the long, rather loose waist and ties
in the front. A little bouquet of
flowers in shades Of peacock blue
and yellow are attached to the lace
just above this ribbon sash. The
skirt is knife pleated to give two
tones to the coral chiffon, which
shades beautifully over the pink
underslip. A dainty cap of cream
lace is spanned with a ribbon of pea
cock blue gros grain. In the center
front is a tiny coral velvet flower.
This robe is extremely picturesque
and will be eagerly donned by the
war worker after long, busy day.

VICTORY, Peace, Thanksgiving,
" all in one short month! If the
great American holiday which
comes in the drab month of Novem-
ter were not gay one this year i,
would indeed be strange. \ The par
lies will be of the merriest, but not
30 large as formerly, merry because
the tension of thu world war is
broken and small because the men
have not yet returned to their native
and from their victorious encounter
with the Hun.
Many of the soldiers in the train
Ing. camps where they have been
yirding on the armour of prepared
ness, will be forced to spend
Thanksgiving away from home for
Uncle Sam has not yet released them
from their obligations to their flag
Ind country.
Family dinner parties will be the
tfule in the majority of Omaha
fhtnes, but the hotels will be the
scene OF many parties in the evening.
The foot ball game in the afternoon
will lure many of the fans as this
outdoor sport will soon be con-
rluded for the season. Theater par
ties followed by supper and a little
dancing will close the most joyful
of Thanksgiving days since the time
of the Pilgrim fathers.

you, Howells, for breaking up my
holiday. One of my assistants
would have done as we'll"
Howells apparently paid no at
tention to the coroner. His narrow
eyes followed the doctor with a
growing curiosity. His level smile
seemed to have drawn his lips into
a line, infexible, little cruel. The
doctor grunted:
Instead of abolishing coroners
we ought to double their salaries"
The coroner made long squeak
as an indication of mirth.
You think unfriendly spooks did
it. |. We always believed you were an
old fogy. Hanged if that doesn't
sound modern"
The doctor ran his fingers through
his thick, untidy hair.
II merely ask for the implement
that caused death. l only ask to
know how it was inserted through
the bed while Blackburn lay on his
back. And if you've time you might
tell me how the murderer entered
the room last night and today"
The coroner repeated his squeak.
He glanced at the little group by the
fire.
Out in the kitchen, upstairs. or
right here under our noses is al
most certainly the person who
could tell US. Interesting case,
Howells!"
Howells, who Still watched the
doctor, answered dryly: \,
Unusually interesting"
The coroner struggled into his
coat.
Permits are all available" he
squeaked. Have your undertakes
out when you like"
Graham answered him brusquely.
"Everything's arranged. I've only
to telephone"
The coroner nodded at Doctor
GROOM. HIS voice pointed its hu-
mour with a thinner tone.
IF | were you, Howells' I'd take
this hairy old theorist up as a sus-
picious character"
The doctor made a movement in
his direction while Howells con-
tinued to stare. The doctor checked
himself. He went to the closet and
got his hat and coat.

Muttering, frightened voices came
from the dining room. Jenkins en-
tered, and, shaking his head, went
up the stairs. The two women who
followed him, were in tears. They
paused, as if seeking an excuse to
linger on the lower floor, to post
pone as long as possible their en-
trance of the room of death.
