NATIONAL COUNCIL
 OF DEFENSE

The regular monthly meeting or the Council of National Defense will be held Tuesday afternoon at o'clock. in the ballroom of the Tutwiler hotel.
 The meeting will be opened with sev- eral patriotic selections by the Music Study chorus.
 Among other important business to come before the council at this time will be the election of a second vice-chair- man, this vacancy having been created by the resignation of Mrs. J. II. Mccoy, who. on account of the illness of Bishop Mccoy, was compelled to resign her of- flee as chairman of the council.
 It is with deep regret that the resig- nation of Mrs. Mccoy will be accepted, and the council trusts that she may soon be able to take up war work again. In Mrs. H. H. Shell as her successor, the patriotic women of Jefferson county have a splendid and most highly efficient leader. and under her leadership there is every indication that the war work will be kept going at the highest possi- bie standard.

Friends Meet in Paris.

TTTTTTTTTTTVFF
Friends Meet in Paris.
A happy meeting took place in Paris
short time ago when Miss Louise
Dining greeted Miss Clara Schneider
and Miss Marguerite Schneider in the
French capital. All are in Red Cross
service. Mr.. and Mrs. r. ]. Dining
received a cable Saturday from Miss
Dining announcing her arrival in
Paris.
As Mrs. Eta Turner, sister of the
Misses Schneider, is now at Neuilly
in the hospital where Miss Dining
was first assigned, It is very probable
that a joyous reunion has taken place
among the three sisters.
As Miss Dining was granted a
leave of absence during the winter
months, it is thought that special
leave was given for this little vacation.
This patriotic nurse, of whom Omaha
is so Justly proud, has been trans
ferred from the hospital at La Panne,
Belgium. to another large institution
Of healing near Ypres. La Panne has
been abandoned, as the Smelling be-
came SO terrific that the wounded men
and their valiant nurses were exposed
to terrible dangers.

Chance Acquaintances.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
Not very long ago l went to a public
dance. A boy asked me to dance
without any acquaintance. I went,
and then he asked my name, and SO
on until we got acquainted. Now any
time see him downtown or any place
he always speaks to me. Do you sup
pose he would want to go with me?
OF course, l don't want to be called
by a bad name. The thing ! want to
know is, would 1t be all right for me
to invite him down to my house? I
live in small town and am going l.?
work in two weeks. Or would it 20
all right to ask him to come down
there? He is very nice boy and l
would like to make friends with him.
ALMA.
1t would have been an easy matter
for the young man to have found
someone in a small town who would
have presented him to you properly.
Since you allowed him to make your
acquaintance so readily he may think
lightly Of you II you continue to en-
courage him. Why not wait until he
asks you for further favors, at least?
Girls never make any advance into the
favor Of their young men friends by
running after them" They may
seem to do so for a while, but from
the beginning Of time the man has
been the seeker and the woman the
sought. and the men like to have It
that way. ] should certainly let the
