"YesW George said bitterly. 81

"They thought 1t would be the most

George drew long breath. "Well,
what do you think. motherf"
II thought 1t would be the simplest
and most Straightforward thing;
thought they were right"
"very we'll! Well agree it was SIM
pie and straightforward. Now, what
do you think of that letter itself7'
She hesitated, looking away. "I-of
course I don't agree with him in the
way he speaks of you. dear-except
about the angel! I don't agree with
some of the things he implies. You've
always been unselfish-nobody knows
that better than your mother.
"And yet" George broke in, "you
see what he implies about me. Don't
you think, really, that this was pret-
ty insulting letter for that man to be
asking you to hand your sonT
"Oh, mol" she cried. you see how
fair he means to be, and he didn't ask
for me to give 1t to you. 1t was brother
George who"
"Never mind that. nowi You say
he tries to be fair and yet do you sup

doing my simple duty? That I'm doing
what my father would do II he were
alive? That I'm doing what my father
would ask me to do II he could speak
from his grave out yonder? Do you
suppose 1t ever occurs to that man for
one minute that I'm protecting my
mother7" George raised his voice ad-
vancing upon the helpless lady fierce
ly; and she could only bend her head
before him. "He talks about my 'Wilp
how 1t must be beaten down; yes,
and he asks my mother to do that lit
tie thing to please himl What for?
Why does he want me beaten by my
mother7 Because I'm trying to pro-
tect her name! He's got my mothers
name banded up and down the streets
of this town till can't step in those
streets without wondering what every
soul meet is thinking of me and of
my family. and now he wants you to
marry him so that every gossip in
town will say There! What did I tell
you? / guess that proves It's truer
You can't get away from 1t; that's ex-
actly what they'd say, and this man
pretends he cares for you, and yet
asks you to marry him and give them
the right to say 1t. He says he and
you don't care what they say. but 1

ably he's that kind-but you do. There
never was an Anderson yet that would

the dust like thati It's the proudest

that I'd expect Eugene Morgan to un-

II can't believe 1t of you that you'd

Evening Chat
Linen Ruas

A number of the store windows In
the city are especially attractive this
morning. Something new in the shape
Of linen rugs is catching the eye OF
those who pass Hartley's window.
Both large and small rugs of this
nature ought to meet the demand as
all homes have place for them and
the cotton rug catches and holds dirt
to such an extent that it becomes
nuisance. Not many have had ex-
perience with linen rug but every
one knows that linen is much easier
to wash and clean than any other
material. Large pictures in this win
dow show g. factory which makes
these rugs and also the field where
the flax grows with each step toward
the finished article placed there in
picture form.
More. and more people are getting
away from the heavy furnishings OF
homes and gradually the big axmin'
lister rug is disappearing, Next will
GO the large rugs OF other heavy
material and until home-keepers can
all afford the soft, exquisite oriental
rug rugs of smaller, lighter weight
will be substituted and are being sub
stituted right along. The home now
adays which attracts the most is the
one with the least inside to care for.
Money can't buy servants these days
nor any other sort of wage-so the
only way out for the busy mother is
the way Of little furnishings and those
of materials easiest and quickest
cared for.

Blinded Lecturer Travels
Alone on Tour from
Atlantic to Pacific

Andre Fribourg, a blinded hero.
is probably one of the most remark
able speakers who has yet appeared
in Omaha. This talented gentleman
of France is but "a years of age and
was blinded early in the war. He
speaks but little English and vet
has the courage and fortitude to
travel alone, filling his lecture en-
gagements in the large cities.
Prior to his enlisting in the cause
of the allies, Mr.. Fribourg was a
professor at the College of Chaptal,
and expects to resume his teaching
when he returns to his native land.
Omahans, who will hear this man
of letters Thursday evening at the
Blackstone, will be interested in a
little incident which occurred in St.
Paul not long ago. Mile. Clement,
who appeared in Omaha several
weeks ago, met Mr.. Fribourg while
in St. Paul, and both writer's dis
covered that they were contributors
to the magazine, "L'Oeure," and
that each had been enjoying the 9TH
er's articles, not knowing the true
identity of the authors, as they
wrote under nom de plume.

present Mr.. Fribourg Thursday
evening, and ali who understand
French are invited to hear this no

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
am coming to you for advice. l am
10 years old, have blue eyes, dark
brown hair and light complexion.
1 weigh about 11S pounds; do you
think l weigh too much for my age?
How should I wear my hair? have
been wearing it up, but some peo-
pie say am too young yet. Am |
too young to wear high heeled
shoes? l have a boy friend who does
not live in this town and he has
written me several times. When my
parents got the letters they read
them. Do you think they have the
right to do this? Do you think ! am
too young TO dance? What does a
stamp upside down on a letter mean?
Please answer by Thursday if you
can. How is my writing2 l am
When you begin to wobble, roll
in and out of doors, then you are
too stout. Wear your hair down, tied
with a ribbon or barette. You should
wear walking shoes with low heels.
You are a mere child and should not
be receiving letters from boy friends.
1t looks dreadfully silly. l am not
acquainted with the stamp lingo, or
code. Usually a stamp upside down
denotes carelessness. Your writing
is quite legible for child of IL.

ToDAY's BEAUTY HELP

We find you can bring out the
beauty of your hair to its very best
advantage by washing it, with can
throx. 1t makes a very simple, in
expensive shampoo, which cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly of all
the dandruff, dirt and excess oil,
leaving a wonderfully clean, whole
some feeling. After its use, you
will find that the hair dries quickly
and evenly, is never streaked in APP
pearance and is always bright, soft
and fluffy; so fluffy, in fact, that
it looks more abundant than it is,
and so soft that arranging it be-
comes a pleasure. Just use a tea
spoonful Of canthrox, which you can
get from any good druggist, dissolve
it in cup of hot water; this makes
full cup of shampoo liquid, enough
so it is easy to apply it to all the
hair instead of just the top of the
head.-Adv.
