Hostesses arc wondering days just what flower to use for deco- rations on their luncheon, tca and dinner table: Although there are many flowers in Omaha, the hostess seldom is able to say, “l1 want these | flowers,” and get them. She must say, “What have you?"” and take what | she gets. 1 a Have you been wishing for hlics of the valley? Let me tell you the reason, they are next to impossible to obtain in Omaha just now. Amer ican Beautics arc another flower which is scarce. It is said that m a few years the American Beauty will be a matter of history. Its place being taken by the Russell rose, a deep, rich pink flower, which is now at its best. An Omaha man went into a florist shop yesterday to order flowers for a fair one on Christmas morning. He asked for American Beauties, but he left an order for Russell roses. At one of the pretty luncheons to-| day and at others this week Omaha matrons have been using the carna- tions, which we usually rather neg-| lect. But now the deep red carna- tions are the most fitting emblem of Christmas cheer. It is a curious fact that roses deepen in color and reach their most beautiful shades in the light of sumpmer, while carnations grow rich arr‘f.l days of winter. In Boston last winter an Omaha |of 4 pint of milk Tuesday at Mon- matron saw some of the beautiful | baskets made of perpetuated grasses ! and admired them so much that she | wished for them in Omaha. Great was her pleasure, then, upon her re-| turn to find that her own florist had] just as choice and artistic baskets as | any to be found in the cast. | Elks' Formal Dance.

Ernic is a “prince of a good fellow.” All the men for whomn he buys cigars say so. But to the old proverb, “Un- casy lies the head that wears a rown,” we might add a new one. c | sily lies the husband who has been rcrowned a prince.” Ernie has a wonderful series of lies for home consumption. Two nights la week he calls up Daisy, his wife, and tells her that he has to take a cus- tomer out to dinner or that a cus- tomer has invited him home to din- ner. Then Daisy sits down to over- done lamb chops and scasons them | with a saucc of tears. And the men with whom [Ernie is sharing a wine supper call him a “pru T'wo nights a week s grapher phones and tells Mrs. Efnie that he was called out suddenly on most mipotiant business and that he ! doesn’'t want his wife to worry if he | gets home late. More tears for Daisy. Ernte and Daisy invariably dine to- gether once a week and he spends the early part of the evening telling | her what a wonderful little woman she 15 and how all the fellows envy him his splendid little wife-—the middle | part of the cvening is spent in vawn- “ing, and later on Daisy lies awake | and listens to the heavy breathing | which occupies the end of the evening. ! Every once in a while—sometimes once a week—LErnie takes Daisy out on one of his joy parties. He tips the waited a ten-dollar bill and treats his guests to vintage champagne and | twenty-five-cent cigars and Daisy isi welcome to order Russian caviar or alligator pears or African peaches. | But afterwards the guests comment on how hard it is on poor Ernic that his wiic should be such a dowdy dresser and so awkward in socicty “Her hair looks as if she didn't know whether a Marcel was a coif- | fure or French pastry,” laughs the young sister of a “big customer.” And the wife of another adds: “Yes, | and her hands look as if she thought a manicure were a new diet.' And her | clothes certainly must have been bought when she was walking in her | sleep.

And they were both hor- ) rid. We were all a good deal surprised, for they both used to be very nice. The woman who used to be rich used to be generous and good-natured She was always taking you for rides in her motor car and asking you for the week-end and sending you a home-made fruit cake for Christmas, and a fine doll for the littlest girl, and a whole set of Kip- ling for the biggest boy, and when- cver flowers came, whole lots of them, pink and white, and scarlet and yel- low, you know it was the rich woman who sent them before you looked at the card. She never bragged or showed off, or tried to make you feel poor. She never acted as if she felt rich or wanted you to know she had plenty of money. She never thought of talk- ing about what things cost and she as she could be, in spite of her maids and her butler, and her footman and her chauffeur. But now--she's differcnt—so differ- | ent that I can hardly believe she's the same person. She has lost her money, and she thinks she has lost her friends with it. She hasn't, of course—no one ever lost a real friend by losing moncy— but she thinks so, and that's almost | as bad. I'she acted at the party where I met her last week, what she thinks will be true. She will lose her friends, and | then she'll say it was all on aseount of the money, and she'll believe it, and | other people will believe it, and there | we'll be with the world just that much meaner to live in | It's all so silly, and so uscless and so utterly false Ask for lfi Get ‘ vs THE HIGHEST QUALITY EGG NOODLES 36 Rge Recipe Bock Free SKINNER MFG.CO.

When she's happy, she's the mcanest, snippiest, No, Daisy wouldn't tell! She loves Ernie very loyally and her life cen- ters around him. Of course, the circle | of which he is the center has to be slightly eccentric. For you can't put | radius from him. He is too busy radiating princely good fellowship to be just where his wife expects him to be at any given time. Daisy keeps the house spic and span and tries to save enough out of her! dress allowance to buy Ernie the dain- ties which her housckeeping allow- ance will not permit her to put on | her table. She goes on eating lamb chops and steak because she can al- | ways put them on whenever Ernie | Met Him? happens to come home-—if he does deeide to come. He wouldn't like cold t or overdone fowl—and if he ould dine at home Daisy feels that he deserves good food “Poor boy!” she tells her mother bravely, "he woFks so hard and he has to keep up his end with such an extravagant crowd. He says he doesn't know what would become of him if I weren't such a good manager. It's wonderful to be able to hedp make the career of a man like Ernie. The boys all call him a prince—but he says lie'll never rest until he's monarch of all he surveys—and that a nice understanding, patient little wife like me will help him get there.” And Daisy’'s mother wonders just ‘!hm\' much her daughter does under- stand! Oh, yes. “Ernie is a prince of a good fellow.” He wears stunning clothes, tailored by the most ex- clusive man in town, and his cuff links alway$ match his scarfpin. He has a nice taste in cigars and wine and elegant viands. He really is a prince—and, if his wife is a drudge, at least jshe has the happy content- ment of knowing that she .is “the only woman in the world for him.” Have you met Ernie?
