Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit

mulsified cocoanut oil (which is
pure and entirely greaseless), is

Simply moisten your hair with

Mighty Ships, Homeward
Bound, Are Bringing
Feminine Fighters

Homecoming ships are not only
bringing the fighting men with serv-
ice and wound stripes, proudly EN-
blazoned on their khaki sleeves, but
also the feminine soldiers who have
done their share behind the lines.
Omaha friends are anticipating the
arrival of many Omaha girls who
sailed away so many months ago
to take their part in the world
struggle.
The valiant nurses are finding
their duties becoming lighter as the
great guns have been stilled and
thoughts of home begin to lure.
Miss Louise Dining, who has been
at Nice since the 2lst of December,
writes her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. R.
J. Dining, that she may return
some time in February, and Mrs.
Eta Turner, Miss Dinning's init
mate friend, who has also served
for many months in the war hos
pitfalls, may return at the same
time.
Miss Gertrude Heating and Miss
May Heating, who are now in a
base hospital near Paris, may re-
main for some months, for they are
confident that their unit will be the
last to leave.
Many of the canteen workers are
finding it necessary to stay at their
posts, as the need is still urgent.
Miss Elizabeth Stewart is not plan
ming an early homecoming, but
will probably remain until late sum-
mer. She finds her work intensely
interesting and is loath to leave
France until the war organizations
are disbanded.

All At Once.
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

All At Once.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
I am writing to you for advice. I
am a girl of IS and l want you TO
tell me what to do. l am very pop
ular in my home town. l have two
boy friends whom have great times
with. One is IS and the other is
16. The one that is IS is very good
to me. Is it right for me to let one
take me to party and then let an
other take me home? The one IS
had a fuss with me. He has been
going with my girl friend. Should
| go with him again? He asked me
for my girl friend. am brunette.
What color would you prefer me to
wear? Is it right for us to give the
boys our pictures or accept candy
from them? Should l give them
both a present for Christmas? I
expect something from them. What
color dress would you wear for
Christmas? What would you get a
boy for Christmas? Is It right to
wear a boys ring If you are not en-
gagged? Should let the boys take
me to dances out in the country?
The one 10 years old said he would
give up my girl friend to go with me.
I think more Of the boy Is. Should
l give up the boy that I am going
with and go with the other? When
I go out with one the other gets mad.
Is it right to go car riding with
them? Should I give farewell
party for my friend when she goes
away? Should I invite boys? Should
I write to a soldier? Thanking you
for the information, am anxiously,
BRUNETTE.
1t Is not right to go with one boy
and come home with another.
You are too young to be taking
boys so seriously. Why can you not
be good school friends and not
sweethearts?
There are so many kinds and
types of brunettes that it would be
difficult to advise as to the colors
you should wear.
You might exchange kodak pic
lures or candy If you like.
You should not give presents to
boys on Christmas
Wear whatever happens to be
clean and pressed and hanging in
your wardrobe on Christmas day.
Do not wear a boys ring.
If the boy IS likes you and Is good
to you I see no reason why he should
not call at your home as any school
friend might do, but most certainly
you should not go to a dance in the
country.
A farewell party would be nice
and you might invite both boys and
girls.

of the perishable qualities of the
lighter shades. A particularly pleas

charmeuse and jet sequins. The
bdice is made of broad band OF
jet and a narrow width for shoulder
straps, which end with four jet tas-

charmeuse furnishes a background
for a tunic, composed of bands of
jet sequins, ending in tassels. This
is a lovely and easily made tunic.

everything that scientific cul-
