SEDAL1A TEACHER IS AN OMAHA VISITOR Miss Ruby C. Martin, a teacher in the Lincoln High School of Sedalia. Mo., has been one of Omaha's most popular visitors this summer. She has been the guest of Miss Mary Ann Lo gan, 1628 North Twenty-second street, who entertained Tuesday of last week in her honor. 1 <<£->. 1920, by McClure Newepu-pfr Syndicate,! 1 “Now then, ‘Dreams,’ get a hustle j on you with those copies, anti put the long stop on that high powe-red ear driven by the Duke of Killierankie. j Even in these days of help shortage we w ant efficiency just the same." j Miss Johnson's razor-like voice struck on Ann Flower’s ear like ice. A titter of amusement went around the office at the head clerk’s intend ed witticism, and many eyes were turned for h moment to the gloomy corner where the girl had sat for two years, the target for all the teasing of the department. Somehow or oth er It had leaked out that Ann Flower indulged in day dreams, hence the 1 nickname, "Dreams,” and the merci less sarcasm iliat was her lot. “ 'Dreams'—1 mean Miss Flower, the ‘boss' wants you in his office." Again Miss Johnson's voice smote Ann's ear like ice, and all eyes flashed to her corner. “The boss?" repeated Ann stupidly. “Yes, the ‘boss,’ and don’t keep him waiting,'' snapped Miss Johnson. Ann Flower stumbled to her fe«w* All eyes seemed to burn Into her back as she passed up ihe room. She knew she had not done her work well during the last week, but they did not know what It was to sit up at night and finally have to see a golden haired baby die! Perhaps they did not know what It meant to leave the distracted mother sewing for a living to keep two other little towlieads from hunger. Ann had not been sat Isjied with the doctor, and that morn ing had herself telephoned for anoth er physician, not the kind that usual ly calls at apartment houses on the East side of the city, but there whs something so insistent, so softly ap pealing ami piteous In the girl's voice over the wire that Doctor Sun derland had promised to come. “Good morning. Miss Flower," the “boss’" voice came to the girl's senses tnrougn waves oi pain. “This is Doctor Sunderland . . "Oh, the children are not worseT’ Ann interrupted the “boss’ ” lntroduc> tlon in a frightened voice. "No, the kiddles are going to pull through in line shape, thanks to your foresight. Miss Flower.” The "boss" cleared his throat. “Doctor Sunderland has told me, Miss Flower, that you have been sitting up at night with a sick baby for over a week, until it died; you have also been helping out the mother with two other children all this winter - with your salary; you could Just as well have left her and gone to more com fortable quarters.” "But T couldn't; she wns good to me . . . and It was hard for her to get a boarder who liked children . . , and I did. I'm sorry if my work suffered here . . . but I couldn't leave her when the baby got 111—and died I” Ann Flower’s purple blue eyes grew big and piteous. "Honey." the voice of the "boss" was Just as soft as any of her south ern "mammies," and lie came to her side and patted her on the shoulder, "I did not know that I had suen a real, live girl In my employ! I guess my character reading expert Is worth wiiat I pay him after all. If he gets some like you, bless your heart 1 But Doctor Sunderland wants to have a talk with you; you’ve come from a home where there is a pretty sick bunch, and lie’s afraid Hint you may he In for a dose. We don't want H spread around Hie office, and whatever the damage Is, remember, I foot the bills." Poor little “Dreams’” head seethed In a whirl of aches and surprises aft er the “boss” left her In Dr. Sunder land's care. It was a dream of wonderful peace, to find oneself In a cool, gray and white hospital room, with n pretty red-liaired nurse ready to do one's bidding. But Uiere were days when little Ann Flower did not answer to Dr. Sunderland’s “dear" with a smile of shy welcome, and nights when he would come and shake his head and turn hastily from the pretty, fever flushed face and wonder why we have to find the best In our scheme of life, to lose it Hgaln. There were days, too, when Miss Johnson and the de partment could not bear to see the patch of sunlight shine on the dust covered typewriter cover in the gloomy corner, without a catch In their throats when they remembered how they had teased dear, patient lit tle "Dreams.” But days came when Dr. Sunder land's “dear” won the day. “I take my vacation next week . . . and I am going south,” he announced In his most professional manner one nay. The shadows got tangled up In Ann Flower’s lashes. It would he so lone ly without this big, dependable young northerner, who somehow7 could call her both “honey” and "dear,” Just as endearingly as they did In the south. “This flu-monta’ has left you pret ty weak, and I want you to make the trip tinder my enre,” he went on calmly. “But . . .” "No ‘huts’ In this case, we are go ing to he married before we start, that Is, if you. are willing, honey, fear?" And Ann Flower whispered Impplly from his arms, “They can’t rail me T>reams' again. I’ve realized the only ‘dream’ I ever had . . . Just a homa. And you!” CONSIDERATION of evening gowns leads us Into that realm of apparel where beauty Is the para mount and almost the sole considera tion. All that the looms have to of fer In rich and exquisite products goes Into their fashioning and Inspires their creators. Satin nnd ribbons are trans lated into such clothes, In the two gowns pictured, as must certainly win an approving smile from the goddess of spinners and weavers. Designers have adopted a trick of adding that “splendor dear to women" to the average evening gown by In troducing rich and remarkable ribbons Into their composition. Beautiful sat in and airy tulle are the same In one or another lovely dress, but a flavor of magnificence pervades a gown when a distinctive and royal ribbon be comes a pnrt of It. This Is emphasized In the sleeveless, low-cut model pic 4 tnred. It lias a slip of plain satin, bodice of sequins and plaited overdresa of tulle with medallions In two sizes, A glorious ribbon. In metallic brocade, begins as a girdle, becomes a drapery at the right side, a cascade at the left and ends In a train, trailing from a bow and ends of tulle. Satin and lace Join forces In the second lovely gown. The very low bodice Is veiled with tulle extending over the shoulders. The apron front and long back drapery of lace reflect a style feature of the season that Is not confined to evening dress; It Is as pop ular and effective In frocks for after noon. Parasols Are Again Unfurled rlMK <>nt or mind guy and dainty parasols have fluunted thetr bright colors In the midsummer’s sun shine and cast their soft or glowing shadows over fair faces. But during the war they did not flourish. Being among the luxuries that could be dis pensed with and for other reusons. they were not so much used. This season, however, finds them revived, and with midsummer Just around the corner, they have come out In consid erable force and In distinct styles. Many of them appear to take their cue from midsummer millinery, show ing a repetition of the fabrics and col ors used In hats, and there nre pnra sols for dress, street and country wear that correspond to dress, tailored and sports hats. The simpler designs out number the more elaborate ones. For wear with almost any frock the green parasol wdth bands of black, or cross bars of black, and ull white or white and black designs have the fac olty of making a pleasing ensemble. But If one Is not confined to a single choice, the made-to-mateh parasol, of the same materials as the hat worn with It, Is smarter than any other. For the street there are navy blue and white combinations In which white or gandie figures as a border and In folds on blue silk, these worn with hats of the same combination, match a sen breeze In coolness, and those green Bilk parusols, with hands of black, sug gest cool, leafy shadows cast by the trees. One of these Is shown In the picture with handle In black and white enamel, and this model proves very practical. Black and white handles, furnished with large rings to Blip over the wrist when the parasol Is furled, have proved very popular. Hanging the parasol In this way Is about the Muatest and safest way of caring for It when It Is olT duty as a protector from the sun. There are a number of j bracelet ideas In handles, Including those of narrow black ribbon with gold or silver slides that carry engraved monograms. A wide-brimmed hat of faille silk overlaid with lace and having a frill of lace about the brim-edge, makes a soft shadow over the face that t» deepened and widened by a parasol to match. As shown In the picture, the set Is developed In Mack silk and white lace, but the color that underlies the luce Is a matter for Individual choice. Wide white luce with a border pro vides a means of covering a parasol and hut like this with very little trouble; any seamstress can accom pllsh the work. Tlie “country club” set shown In the third picture Includes a scarf with the hat and parasol so that there are three pieces In It. Pink Indestructible crepe is used for this set, and the braid and embroidery decorations are j In the same color. Pongee Dree see. Pongee dresses are quite the rage tn Juvenile society this season. Touches of embroidery In contrasting colors, self-ruffles, self-tucking and cording are perhaps the most popu>ar trimming touches. Cuffs of Fine Linen. Street frocks of black taffeta are finished with very deep circular cuffs of the same, with a turn-back cuff of white handkerchief linen.
