HAWAIIAN MUSIC ATTRACTS SOGIET Young Women Prefer to Dance To Its Wierd Melodies— Learn to Play Ukelele. | JRAZE HAS REACHED HERE | By MELLIFICIA—August 30. The weird melody of Hawaiian music has won the hearts of society. Rag time for pléasure and for danc- ing is rapidly being consigned to the background and in its place Hawaiian melodies on Hawaiian instruments are being used. In New York espe- cially this is the case, for there every- one has gone mad over the novelty. The ukele is the instrument of the hour. In Chleago the young women on the bathing beaches in thcir gay bathing costumes sun themselves on the sands and tinkle its strains. Omaha young women have the craze as badly as all the rest. Some play the little instruments in secret, some take lessons privately, but others are willing to admit that they are inter- ested and improving ukelele players. The Misses Gertrude Metz, Marion Kuhn, Mildred Rhoades, Dorothy Balbach and Ruth Hamilton are among the most enthusiastic pupils. Miss Luella Allen says that the number of aspirants to proficiency on the ukelele is rapidly increasing. Names of Brides and Towns Alike. Reév. C. N.

H Do Women BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Do women want a meed of flattery and compliments offered them as tribute—or do they desire the finer tribute of honest, simple and, if need be, bitter truth? Does the feminine want even its medicine sugar-coated, or is it will- ing to swallow a bitter dose if that will prove curatiye? iR On the attitude of the individual woman toward these questions de- ends whether she is to have true riends as she goes through life or whether she can hope for nothing bet- and flirtations with men. The truth isn't always pleasant; how can it be? Life ‘itself is far too bitter and grim a reality to make that possible. But the truth is cura- tive. The people who tell it to you have taken the trouble to study you, to look at you squarely and fairly as an individual worthy their atten- tion and interest, and to try to figure out what is for your good and ad- vantage. None of us can stand off and get a perspective on ourselves. All of us have . unsuspected weakness and pe- culiarities, and little ‘mental’ twists and turns which make us repellant to some and charming to others, But, unfortunately, our weakness may make us repel those whom we most desire to attract. Then what can be more valuable than a friendship which tells us honestly and loyally where lie our weaknesses and where our chances of improvement?
