Nebraska women are responding

for the girls of Nebraska and the
United States, but also for the girls
of the world. One hundred women
in this great state, leaders in their
communities, have added to their
many responsibilities, the task of
promoting this World Service pro-
gram and of raising Nebraska S
share of the budget.

Girls Clubs Active In
Community Service
Movement.

Girls clubs form an important
feature of the work of Community
service. Thousands of young wo-
men are identified with the nation
wide movement of the organization
Activities of the clubs for girls
include all branches of social better
ment. They foster athletics and
sports among the young women.
They show them the need of their
communities and point out to them
their obligation to abolish loneliness
in the places in which they live.
Dancing forms an important part
of the work. The girls give frequent
parties, inviting eX-Service men and
men in uniform. Older women, CO.
operating with Community service,
act as chaperons at the parties. The
young women are encouraged to
take part in or lead community
sings, church and club socials, holi-
day celebrations, welcomes to re-
turning soldiers and sailors move
ments or the betterment of their
home towns. They are also shown
the need for their interest in the
happiness of the children. Thous-
ands of the young women in Com
munity Service clubs made tens of
thousands of youngsters happy on
Christmas.
In the peace time program of
Community service the girls will
have their share-already have as

which will be for every American
man, woman and child. The girls

Follow Parents Advice,

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
have written to you before and did
not see my letter in print, SO 1 come
to you again. We are two girls Of
16. Our parents are quite wealthy
and very strict and we dare not
bring these questions before them,
so we come to you for advice. There
are Two boys who claim to be in
love with us. They want to give a
party in our honor. Would it be
right? One of these boys has
Hudson sedan. Would it look right
for us to drive 1t, as they have often
asked US to do? We are twins, have
black curls. Are we too old to wear
ribbons?
Thanking you in advance,

Follow your parents advice. Your
own judgment is not safe. Girls who
use mourning stationery for such a
letter lack a proper sense Of the fit

Is He firing of Her?
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
This is the first time I've written
you, but as ! was reading the advice
you give in the paper l thought you
might be kind enough to answer a
few questions for me.
L have been thinking a good deal
of a nice, polite, kind boy friend.
We have been away from one an
other for over a year and our love
for each other seems to have grown
a great deal.
A short time ago I wrote him a
letter and from something i wrote
he wrote back, saying: Taking from
the way you wrote me you are mis-
trusting me In every move | make
and if we can't get along hundred
miles apart it's certain we can't get
along together"
Then he ended, saying would be
glad to hear from me if you care to
write"
/ wrote him and told him I was
him to think that way and asked
forgiveness.
l don't know what / wrote him
that made him judge my letter so.
But I certainly did not mistrust
him in the least, which l wrote to
him.
He seems to think lots of me and
he said he had our engagement ring
to give me any time.
| I don't know what has brought
this up, but do you think it is pos
sible he could be getting tired of me
| and is making this for an excuse?
Please answer. Your friend,
BROWN EYES.
There may be a little misunder-
standing in this matter. Give the
boy the benefit of doubt wouldn't
have asked his forgiveness for an
unknown offense. But l do think
it would be all right for you to ask
him to tell you what it was you said.
adding that you had no intention Of
offending him and no thought of mis-
trusting him. Then if he is honest
with you he will tell you what it
was and you can explain what was
meant. If he isn't square, you can
tell from his reply. Don't be hasty.
Be fair and reasonable. If you
make sure the young man has been
unfair with you, then you can act
firmly and quickly.

Pardon me" I said Indignantly,
"but those belong to me-"
Benches amt for bundles croaked
an evil voice beside me.
Recovering my flowers, turned to
find seated beside me rat-eyed young
fellow, cheaply dressed, eycing me with
an insolent stare. As looked at him
he began erowding over toward me.
Plainly 1t was his intention to GUST me
from the bench.
There's plenty of room on those
other benches over there" / suggested
resentfully.
BEAT It yourself If you don't like 1t
here" he retorted, blowing the smoke
from a cheap cigarette in my face. 81
got date here, and I'm going, to stay,
see?"
| answered with an angry retort and
hot words followed. We had almost
come to blows when the bushes OPP
posite us suddenly parted. caught
sight for just second of villainous
face, that of man about forty, an
unforgettable face with a red scar
across the left cheek. He raised one
finger in an imperative gesture, signal
ing to my unwelcome companion on
the bench. With a profane exclama-
ton of dismay, the rat-eyed fellow
sprang up and walked hastily away
along the park path. Wondering
what 1t was all about, watched him
out Of sight around turning of the
asphalt and then glanced toward the
| apartment house where in few min
| utes | was to be guest.
As looked young girl came out
of the house and walked slowly to-
ward the park. At the corner she
hesitated. She seemed to be debating
whether to continue on down the ave-
nue. or to turn into the park. Appar-
emily the lure of the greenery won her,
for she came on slowly toward where
/ was sitting. AS she drew nearer l
observed her with interest. for she
was one of the prettlest girls / ever
had seen. Her slim figure, her dainty
ankles, her carriage, everything about
her suggested the patrician. Her face,
rosy and youthful, was set off by a
jaunty feathered toque, from under
which pair of soft, black, roguish
eyes, shaded by long lashes, looked
out above a dainty nose, just bit
tip tilted, on either side of which a
fugitive dimple played. .
To my great amazement she walked
right up to me and stopped short. ]
