Gabby Has Culled a Few
' Choice Bits of News
for Her Readers.
By OABBY DETAYL8.
A YOUNG lady recently left for
the rut and with her took a
secret. That is, the thought
the took it with her. A piece of it
eenu to have atayed at home, and
like little Willie' turnip, "it grew
and it grew." The girt it an only
ihild, and graduated hut, year from
an eastern college. She has gone
eatt to attend a reunion and vii't
friend, plana that were all made be
fore her affair with a prominent
Omaha bachelor began to interest
Iter to deeply. Now her friend tay
that the wat loth to go. and ii go
ing to cut her trip at short ai pos
sible. Atlantic breeze and college
friendi have lost their charms in con
trail to' those of Omaha, which cen
ter in a young man who haa long
snug the praises of the free and un
hacklcd existence of the wifeless.
Since meeting this pretty, dark
haired girl he seems to feel that
there is something ' in married
life after all; He excells in all sorts
of sports and has two brothers liv
ing out of the city, both of whom
have recently married. . He and the
girl met about two months ago
when the girl was bridesmaid for
one of her friends here, and they have
been together almost constantly at
dances, picnic and parties and they
have had a good many canters over
West Dodge roads, at both are fond
of horseback riding. The exact
. state of affairs is only known to the
two of them, but the secret, as Gab
by remarked, has been growing fast.
When the girl returns perhaps it will
not be a, secret at all. Incidentally
the young man is to be considered
lucky, for the lady of his affections
specialized in household arts during
her years at school.
KEEPING track of husbands
these days is too much, or some
women seem to find it so. An
Omaha woman called a friend, one
evening last week to ask her and her
husband to dinner. The would-be
hostess was completely unconscious
that there were any marital difficul
ties in (lie case. But the reply that
came over the , phone, in a casual
tone of voice, was: ,
"I'd be glad to come, but, really, I
can't speak for Mr. . You see,
I'm just putting on my hat now to
go down to the courthouse to get my
decree.
SHE is a pretty little girl and she
lias dates 'a-plenty and orfe beau
in particular who is an ardent ad
mirer, but this happened when he was
out of town. A Brazen Young Strip
ling called and asked her to go out.
Casually he inquired if she could
take hdr family's car that afternoon
as he had none. She thought it
could be arranged, and it was, with
the stipulation that it be back by a
certain time for the family, use; When
the afternoon came the Stripling in
vited a brother stripling and his lady
love to join them, and the four set
forth, stripling at the wheel. As it
drew near the time to , return he
found it necessary to drive faster and
faster, and eventually "something
gave way." . They, stopped for: re
pairs, and the gallant youths allowed
the girl who owned the car to pay
the bill. Then they ran out of gas.
Again the girt paid the bill. Rumor
has it that the two cake eaters failed
even to.Vro,vide an ice cream soda
towards the day's entertainment
Of. course, there is more than one
vViy to have a good time, and some
people are less sensitive than" others.
Who knows? Maybe the boys inad
vertently forgot their pocket books.

Modernism and the
Orient Clash
in Cairo
When Mrs. Charles C. Allen, wife
of Ltv Col. Allen, returned from
Cairo last week, she brought her
Omaha friends a most interesting
glimpse into modern oriental life. As
wife of a military attache, she was
thrown with scores of interesting
people, very few of them her coun7
trymen, a most cosmopolitan group.
Her daily life was spent in assisting
in rihilanthrooic and educational
work, as well as social affairs. She
speaks most highly of the mission
aries and relief workers with whom
she came in contact, their wonderful
work and enthusiasm. '
The social life of Cairo is still
bound up in the English colony and
sports, which- we have always asso
ciated with the British, play a large
nart.
In Gezira, a beautiful suburb of
Cairo, there is the Gezira Sporting
club, where theje is horse racing
every week-end, . pMo, tennis, golf.
cricket, every western outdoor recre
ation. In Cairo they hold military
tournaments, gymkhanas concerts
and balls for charitable purposes.
Cairo is dance crazy, Mrs. Allen
says. "She often took part in the
direction of these affairs, and spoke
especially f one gorgeous bazar .J
held in the. palace 01 an cgypiian
prince. The palace had an interest
ing history as it was built Dy ismaei
Pasha in. 1869, at the time of the
opening of the Suez canal, for Eu
genie, then empress of France.- It
has been restored and is furnished in
the Louis Seize style. It is the last
word in modern, elegance and the
bazar was . most elaborate indeed.

How Your Chin
Can Reveal Your
Character
By DORIS BLAKE.
" "What else could you expect from
a man with a chin like that?" This
was said of one with a receding
chin, whose weakness had just dis
played itself in a moment of tempta
tion. ,
You have heard about the woman
with a dimple in her chin being "as
fickle as sin." The indented chin is
found frequently in the woman of
many love affairs. It does not of
necessity imply inconstancy, how
ever, but it ipdicates a hunger and
thirst for affection from the opposite
sex-whiclf is often associated with
lack of fidelity. .
The narrow, square chin also sig
nifies a strong love nature. A woman
with this kind of chin will marry
into poverty for. love in the face of
suitors' of great wealth and social
position. When you see a beautiful
woman rejecting a man of money,
high social position and good presence:-
to marry a humble and un
known . aspirant, you may look for
the solution of the riddle in her nar
row, square chin and find it.
The broad, square chin shows tre
mendous strength of feeling. The
woman with this chin is capable of
the most devoted love and the great
est kind of sacrifice. . She is some
times jealous, so strong is the na
ture of her affection that if the ob
ject of if spurns her she is apt to do
violence, to whoever comes between.
In a man this broad, square chin
indicates the spirit of a courageous;
dauntless fighter, and woe betide
anyone who stands in the way. He

principles he will sacrifice all per
sonal comfort. He sets out to win,
and raely fails the accomplishment
of his desire. He is impressive and
commanding, a fighter and a leader
ot men. It spells decision.
The broad, round chin also ac
companies a capacity for ardent love
and tor great steadfastness of our
pose. The broad chinned woman is
faithful. You will rarely find her
seeking a divorce. Breadth in ohvsi
ognomy always accompanies endur
ance and stability.
. The cleft chin is found in a face
which is rather square than round.
it denotes a love of art and rever
ence for beauty. Many of the great
poets, painters and a?tors have either
a round or clett dimple, and usually
where there is a dimple the person
is possessed of artistic talent, an
agreeable and kindly disposition, and
a great desire for admiration from
the other sex.
A sharp chin indicates craft and
acuteness.
A protruding, conspicuous chin in
dicates" ambition.
A sharp, pointed chin accompanied
by a long, thin nose indicates unfa
forable characteristics, a mean dis
position. A flat chin, particularly with thin
lips and small ears, indicates cold
ness. A prominence of the middle of the
chin indicates a congenial nature.-.
An angular chin indicates discre
tion. A full, heavy chin indicates dull
