October 25, 1916. Were you ever in Japan or did some more fortunate friend ever send you gorgeous pictures of the Japanese chrysanthemums? This flower is per- haps the most beautiful and universal- Iy admired importation from the ori- ent to the occident. Its fluffy globes in delicatp shades of orchid, pink, lavender, yellow and also red and white are popular with cverr one. One poor finle girl, whom I knew,| saved carefully her spare pennies all one fall so thdt before the chrysanthe- mums were gone she could buy a single posie for her very own. ! carcely a luncheon or tea or din- ner party but has them nowadays. Today Mrs. J. M. Metcalf entertained at a prettily appointed lunchedn at her home in honor of her sister, Mrs, Ada Hertsche of Portland, Ore. Dainty water colors' from Venice, for place cards and white carnations were combined with beautiful white chrys- anthemums in the decorations. At Mrs. Hughes' informal tea yes- terday for her guest, Miss Winifred Hicks of Duluth, yellow chrysanthe- mums formed the decorations. As a wedding flower the chrysan- themum rivals the rose. Miss Lucile Bacon set her wedding date'in Oc- tober because “I always wanted a wedding when I could have hig white chrysanthemums.” Just as she had wished, glorious white chrysanthe- mums banked the altar and were tied with tulle bows to the pews. The marriage of Miss Adele Davis Monday was performed in a setting of Em chrysanthemums and roses, Pink chrysanthemums were used through the rooms. The story came from Minneapolis the other day that five society brides, all in a row, had set their wedding | dates in the brilliant month of Octo- ber in order that they might have around them on their nuptial days masses of ‘these beautiful lapanese flowers, Wedding Announcement, The marriage of Mr, Joseph F, Gardner of West Somerville, M. and Miss Maud L.

She was just like them—I mean these” Katie was washing the prunes. “What is a prune woman, Katie?" “Well, ma'am, first of all she's wrinkled, inside and out. Now I say that in these days a womah needn't get much wrinkled. Not if she has a good temper and a decent pride that makes her take care of herself. Mrs, Smith that lives over on Summit ave- nue is 75 and she ain’t got no real wrinkles, Only three creases at the corner of each eye and they come from laffin.’ This woman may’ a been forty, but she's ‘cross forty an’ cross forty is older than /good natured sixty-five. “She was settin' at the end of tHe car and anybody with half an eze could see that inside of herself she was critisin’ everybody in that there car, There was a pretty girl settin’ next to her. The girl had the purti- est little feet all laced up in high gray shoes. I never seen anything purtier or modester. Her skirt come down nice and correct over the tops of the shoes. “But the prune woman looked at them shoes as though they was oison. Then she looked at the girl's ace as though she thought she was something turrible. But the girl was lookin' out at the red autumn leaves on the maple trees along the side of the road and never seen the dagger look the prune woman gave her. If looks s«could speak, the prune woman would have been sayin', ‘You're vain and triflin' and I moren’ half think {our bad.” Maybe the girl is vain. notice that some is an' some ain't. She may have been triflin’. Anyway the folks, that are triflin' are more pleasant than them that ain't. I can't abide the people that go around with a deep furrow between their eye- brows, thinkin' they're doin’ great things. They're generally sour and disagrecable and snappy. “And as for bein’ bad, you know the look of the child that stays always in a good woman's eyes? She had that, ma'am, and you can’t mistake it. You can get fooled on a lot of things, but not on that. “Down toward the other end of the car two men was talkin’ politics. They got kind a noisy, like boys playin’ ball. Have you noticed ma'am, that lots of men get as much fun outa talkin' politics as, the?' did when they wuz boys out playin’ or goin' swim- min'? “And that's abdut all they think about it, just the sport of it. I'm thinkin' woman will take it more serious like. Come right down to it women are the duty hunters of the say nothin’ But she fidgeted around as though she thought they would use bad language any minute and she wished a police- man would get aboard, and her wrinkles got deeper and deeper. “She looked at everyone on the car and found somethin’ wrong with everyone of 'us.. I seen her lookin’ at a rip in my shoe. If I'd said, ‘Hon- est, ma'am my shoes was all right when I started. That ripped while I was doin’ the marketin’,’ she wouldn't ‘a’ believed me. She's got the habit of thinkin' the worst of everybody.

Most of us spend our lives in pur- suit of happiness, But she is com- pletely elusive, and when we think we have gained her, we always find that she lies somewhere beyond. We all want superlative happiness and happiness is only comparative, We are happy as we give joy to oth- ers, fulfill our daily tasks, and work toward a goal of achievement. Real happiness lies in “amounting to something” in this world. And amounting to something means doing our honest best with our own possi- bilities and helping other people real- ize theirs, An old-time philosopher has sug- gested steps to happiness. Here they are: Accept Your Limitations. Seize Your Opportunity. Enjoy the Good of the Hour. Improve the Bad, and if You Can’t Let it Drop. Let us examine these suggestions. “Accept Your Limitations” means be sane and logical about your possi- bilities. Don't exaggerate your tal- ents and insist on flying when it is hard for you to do anything more than walk. In other words, take stock of yourself and make the best of what you are and have it in you to be. But don't refuse to sing well in the chorus just because you aren’t able to be the prima donna. “Seize Your Opportunity.” That, of course, means be awéke and alert to whatever chance offers you and make the most of the tiniest opening through which it is possible to force your way to success. “Enjoy the Good of the Hour.” Be happy over the little. things and don’t worry because they are not eternal No sunset was ever less beautiful be- cause it was foredoomed to fade and joy and beauty have almost an added charm because they are not perma- nent. Learn to find joy in little mo- mentary blessings. So you get a happy tendency, a frame of mind that makes for cheer, “Improve the Bad—and if you Can't Let it Drop.” ' Don't sit idly by with folded hands and accept unpleasant circumstances. Do your best to over- come them—your honest best. But if you find that faith will not quite move mountains but only show you the way to toil over them, try to sur- mount them. If footsore and weary you have to give up and retrace your path, be cheerful- about that, too: Failure rately accepted is a sort of success. After all these signposts to happi- ness only lead you on the path to eace. Peace of mind is the greatest appiness mortals can xrnK and pos- sess. It comes from the knowledge of duty well done, of work honestly performed and of kindness and love given to others. \ " LT e " Fireproof \ Hotel Loy:tlm 16th and Capitol OMAHA - - - - NEBRASKA Rooms, $1.00 and $1.50 With Bath, $1.50 and Up Cafe the Very Best Popular Prices STOP AT THE LOYAL T T Y T e e ] [ >~ ‘Stop Eating Bread Try " O-EAT-IT,” the New Combination Bran Food, Fully - Baked, Ready to Eat Crisp Toasted Slices, and *: B0 Free from Constipation and Indi- v gestion Without Medicina.

How to Judge a Woman by Her Hair There are always the well-known and semi-humorous methods, such as saying brunettes are quick-tempered. But there is real common sense in just noticing whether the hair is well kept to judge a woman’'s neatness. If you are one of the few who try to make the most of your halr, re- member that it is not advisable to wash the hair with any cleanser made for all purposes, but always use some good preparation made expressly for shampooing. You can enjoy the very best by getting some canthrox from your druggist and dissolving a tea- spoonful in a cup of hot water when your shampoo is all ready. After its use the hair dries rapidly wltl*! uni- form color. Dandruff, excess 011‘ and dirt are dissolved and entirely disap- pear. Your hair will be so fluffy that it will look much heavier than it is. Its lustre and softness will also de- light you, which the stimulated scalp gains the health which insures hair growth.—Advertisement, - Ar ours DEVONSHIRE FARM Armour’s greatest triumph in sausage-making; brings to you all the zest of the coun- try boy’s breakfast.
