Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
have been reading your column, es-
pecially since the 'hand painted
dolls have been discussed, and have
enjoyed 1t thoroughly.
Although 1 missed C. o. AS letters
I infer, from the other letters / have
read, that c. o. A. is prejudieed to
said "hand painting" and that he
criticizes the character of girls who
do so. -.---r
For the last two years have been
attending a girls boarding school,
and have had chance to study three
types OF girls--all from the best fam
lilies.
Lucille" was a plain girl. used no
powder nor paint. dressed simply
and seemed a quiet sort of girl. Yet
she was bad, or, perhaps, should
say, her ideals were not the high
est.
Marian" was rather striking in
appearance, especially when not
made up" cannot say that she was
attractive, for she certainly was not
She was selfish, two faced

school, and then lied to get out OF
the punishment. She powdered and
painted, so could readily be called

Adelaide" when not using paint
was plain looking. Yet she was at
tractive. She only looked more pleas
ing to the eye, when a touch of paint
was added to her cheeks. / say she
was attractive because she had a
ready smile for every one, she be-
lieved in fair play" was sport
to break the rules, but also sport
to report herself and take the pun
ishment without grumbling.
All three girls were popular with
the same boys, but in three different
ways.
LUCILLE" and Marian" were never
crushed" at the dances, though both
were good dancers. They were sell
dom asked to go to the opera or any
place where the boys parents were
to be. Lucille" was asked to GO
auto riding or strolling. Marian"
received lots of letters and little at
tention from the boys at the school
parties. But when adelaide" APP
peared they excused themselves to
give their attention to her.

and candy. the attention and admit

After alL-isn't it the heart of the
girl that counts? I'll admit that
some girls go to the extreme with
their paint, but haven't you noticed
that a mans eye will invariably
pick at the brightest colors first
Which is to blame-the girl or the
man?
Are all girls to be so severely cri-
ticized simply because they make
themselves more attractive by the
use of artificial coloring?" Why
not look beneath the paint and study
the heart of the girl before you

A School Girl.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
am asking you for advice, as / am
quite interested in the way you give
it. They tell me / am jolly and
sensible girl. I am Is years Of age,
have brown hair, brown eyes, fair
complexion and I am about feet
2 inches in height. Am 1 too young
to wear my hair without ribbons?
Or too large? Would it make me
look older to have my hair fiuffed by
the ears, as l want to look young
always. / would like to know, also,
should my hair be brought down on
the forehead?
Do you think I am too old and
large for the Ninth grade?
Now, Miss Fairfax, when ! go to
parties at night have been asked by
boys If they could escort me home,
but l always refuse, and go home
with my girl friends. Do you think
l do wrong? Please let me know.
Do you think it is all right for me to
use a little powder every day? Hop

ChoWders

One Of the things the war did for
us alorg food lines, was to make us
willing to try new foods, and hence
become acquainted with the special
dishes of foreign count. les and far
parts of our own country. One OF
the most difficult Nsds to popular
ize IN the middle west. inland as we
are, is fish. We accept salmon. hut
serve it in comparatively few ways,
we use halibut occasionally, and
there fish cookery stops for many OF
US. | know the reason for this
state of affairs, it is difficult to get
fresh fish in the Omaha markets
but we get out of the habit Of even
asking for it.
II person has ever lived ON the
sea coast for any len, n of time,
especially on the New :, yland sea-
coast, he has learned 20 enjoy fish
chowders. If you happen never to
have eaten them, the mixture of in
grecients sounds almost terrifying;
but the taste of the resulting pro-
duct shows that the mixture blends
most admirably. / have tried chow
dcrs on three different groups, all
somewhat skeptical of fish combina-
tons, yet all have pronounced the
dish truly delicious.
The special merit of a chogder
is the ease and quickness of prepare
ton, combined with its filling"
qualities and cheapuess. A chow
der is a so-ca!led "one-dish" meal
for nothing need be served with it
to make meal complete except
bread and butter and dessert, and a
crisp salad if desired.
While the original chowder was 4
fish dish, it is possible to make a
delicious corn chowder, or to sub
stitute meat or poultry for the fish.
a standard recipe as given below
will serve six or seven persons,
allowing two generous helpings
apiece. Chowder is served in bowls
or soup plates as it is a cross be-
tween soup and stew.

"Thank you, but my plans are

The new sports suits are frequently
made OF white flannel or Of heavy
white sports silks. When combined
with vivid blue, rose or green, these
fabrics make picturesque costumes.
The narrow skirt, which is slashed
and buttoned at the lower edge is
characteristic Of these suits. Though
width of easy, graceful stride is
urged upon any woman who does
not want to appear ridiculous as she
"minces" along. This model of white
flannel is trimmed with vest of old
blue flannel. Pockets and cuffs Of
old blue with overlapping points of
white give distinction to this design.
A good example of the severe sports

Heart Beats

BY A. K.
He is a soldier
Stationed at Fort Crook
And he doesn't mind
Soldering when
He is not thinking of
A certain little
Girl who lives
Among the hills
On South Thirty street.
But we found out this
That he hates the Fort
When it comes time
To make the journey
On the Overland Limited"
AT midnight after spending
A pleasant evening
And sometimes the price
OF show
Or a good dinner
Or any other thing which
This young lady
Happens to fancy
But most of all
He likes the atmosphere
Of her coy home
And the log FIRE
And mother and
The piano,
But when the coo-eoo
Called time on him
AT ii o'clock
The other night
He sighed and said
well, / should worry
When ] have
An all night pass"
But the young lady
Sighed an accompaniment
To his remark which
Sounded much like this:
well, / haven't
An all night pass"
So he HE'D himself
To the furnace room
And banked the fire
And came back
Upstairs and informed
His hostess that he
Believed he would stay
At the hotel that night
But when he counted his
Cash he sighed again
And smiled
And decided to take
The Overland Limited"
Back to the Fort.
