But there are mem bers of the community to whom she is something else again. There is a matron in Omaha whose custom it haj always been to do her shopping for meats and vegetables in person plus the basket. She selects a few fresh peas and a bunch of radishes, perhaps, as she moves about the store, then the summer squash catches her eye. and her thrifty soul cannot resist it, so she empties her basket and starts in afresh. As a result the deferential clerk who is unfortunate to draw her for a cus tomer will find after three quarters of an. hour- of trotting in her wake, ihat his order slip is largely covered (Vit-t erasures and crosscd-off items. She fs not altogether a favorite. Not long ago on a dull afternoon nne of the clerks saw her bearing down on the store, basket on arm. With a muttered ejaculation he stepped behind a post. As she en tered he motioned to a fellow clerk ;p wait on her. "Aw, say. said the unwilling victim, and ducked. behind the counter. The lady waited im patiently, tapping the ..counter for a little service.

"Move over." he hissed and he. too. scrouged down behind the counter. seems OQ(l wnen you mum . . , f that a gay young Banker Whrlnr who. if vou will excuse th pun, has had a wealth of cxper- j with ne lair sex, inouii tiust iiwt sad, would,n t know tnat an exchange of the keys to the vault for the keys we blush to admit it to a charming brunette's boudoir isn't being done these days.

Picture the young lady's chagrin when she discovered herself locked away from her downy couch; pic ture his despair when he stared financial disgrace in the eye. It was most distressing until a little tele phoning restored the keys to their rightful owners, under the fairest rate of exchange. The young lady, whose character is exemplary even in the mid-victorian sense of the world, has retired to a rural district to recover from the shock.

Most of the Central High school seniors are go ing on with their studies cither at college or at eastern finishing schools. Omaha will have two rep resentatives in California universities, which indicates the tendency, un heard of a few years ago, for east ern girls to go west to school. Miss Polly Robbins,' who has been editor of the High School Register this year, will enter the University of Southern California at Pomona, and her mother, Mrs. J. W. Robbins, will spend the winter in southern Cali fornia to be near her. Miss Dean Robbins will accompany them. Helen Montmorency, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. Montmorency, will enter the University of California in the fall. Her brother, Frederick, who is working on a ranch in California this summer, will be a senior at the college next year. Vassar will have two representatives-in Miss Charlotte Smith and Miss Emma Ritchie and Miss Harriet Rosewater and Miss Charlotte Den ny, who finished at Brownell Hall this year, will enter Wellesley. The four girls -Jiave been taking their college entrance examinations during the past week. Miss Rosewater was preceded at Wellesley by her cousin Miss Charlotte Rosewater, who was graduated there in 1921. Miss DoVis Talmadge plans to go to Miss Bennett's school at Milford, N. Y., not far from Poughkeepsie, where Vassar is situated and she and Miss Smith and Miss Rich have already made plans for week-ends together. Miss Dorothy Guckert has chosen the National Park semi nary in Washington, D. C, where Miss Maurvie Richardson is in school. As always there is a large group wh.i will go to the University of Nebraska next Septembe;. Among then are the Misses Eleanor Pick ard, Eleanor Newbranch, Helen Brown, Ruth Chatfield, Frances I Swift and Daisy Rich.

The Omaha PART THREE to.; '.A Chicago, are Miss Fredericka Nash and Miss Virginia Cotton, but they have not yet settled on their school. Miss Virginia Frantz is choosing the University of Tennessee for the completion of her education, Miss Frantz is unique in that she is choos ing to make a major study of physi cal training. Miss Frantz is famous among her schoolmates for her abilities in dancing and athletics. She is doubly fortunate in her choice of a school for she has a number of doting relations in Knox ville to make her lrfe in the south typically gay. Miss Margaret Logan will go to Pen n Hall. This school numbers among its Oniaha graduates Mrs. Robert Burns, whose charm does much to make the school popular. In the spring the girls and their teachers pack up and move to At lantic City for May, nicely combin ing education and travel. Miss Dorothy Steinbaugh, who has the distinction of belonging to the National Honor society, will cultivate her voice for a year or two in Omaha before leaving for a musical education in the east. Winifred Mc Martin, daughter of Mrs. Charles McMartin will atend Grinncll college at Grinnell, la. Romantic Wedding for Justin Sturm and His Bride The wedding of Miss Katherine McCormick, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander McCormick of Chi cago to Justin Sturm, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Sturm of Nehawka, Neb., took place yesterday at high noon in the little village church of Shamley Green, in Surrey, England. Mr. Sturm is the brother of Mrs. John Yeiser of Omaha. Miss Mc Cormick has been traveling in Eu rope with her parents. The young couple will visit i.n Omaha next September. Few girls are married in the ro mantic surroundings which Miss Mc Cormick chose. Her parents have xaKcn a country place, Araatli. in I c.. - r .1 Surrey, for the season and follow : . .. . . ! 'n,? th.e remony a reception took 1 l?laf? ,n tle beautiful gardens. MlSS ! I f r.rtii r-lr wrote to Mrs. Sturm. describing the place: "We have taken the world's most adorable house here i.n Surrey, and 1o be in the country and our own home after the hundreds of dirty, noisy cities and hotels, seems like paradise. We were in wonderful luck, as we heard of this place through an English friend of moth er's and the people who owned it were going in to their London house for the season, which was just the length of time we wanted this place, so they were glad to rent it to us and they walked out one dav and left everything, including a staff of wonderful servants, linen a,nd sil ver. We walked in, unpacked and had tea. It's a perfect place. The house is over 300 years old arid is too picturesque for words old oaken beams on the ceilings, vines and roses all over the outside and. oh, such a garden! And a tennis court. It's all laid out so artistically, the color schemes are lovely and even the trees are arranged, yet it doesn't look stiff. The church where the ceremony will take place is a mile up the road from our house. It's the kind of place you always dream ed about and can't believe is true tiny and quaint old and covered with vines in an adorable little church yard with a high hedge all around it. We will be married there at high noon on Saturday, June 24, and then come back here for the wedding breakfast and reception, which will be held in the garden. There will only be about 40 people at the break fast and probably a few more at the church, as the tiny village of Sham ley is all agog over a wedding, and I shall invite anyone who wants to OMAHA, SUNDAY 4m mu,z- Bark?

Both camps are open to all girls over 12 years of age, Iwaqua for a week, and Brewster for any length of time. Brewster draws girls from Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas.

Some of the girls have become expert swimmers and divers under her tutelage. The girls are grouped on the new "cascades," the purifying system which has just been installed. By means of this new apparatus, says Miss Clara Brewster, head of the camp, the water is completely changed fire times in every 24 hours. No. 7 is also taken at Brewster, and depicts a group of the Y. W. girls on the lawn outside their club house. Swimming, tennis, baseball, volley ball and hiking are all sports which the girls enjoy, and many picnic suppers are spread out on the lawn.

Camp Iwaqua is on King's Lake near Valley, and this is the first week of the season. Miss Mary Guy is in charge of the camp, and canoeing, swimming, camp craft, first aid .classes and hikes fill the days of the 40 Camp Fire Girls who go out for each week. This last week six groups were represented, Lexse, Kicuwa, Walohi, Wichaka, Minne haha and Kewa. A number of the girls were from Schuyler. Picture No. 3 shows girls at the camp craft table.

Miss Mary Guy recently returned from a meet ing of Guardians in Texas, and on her return stopped in Kansas City where the famous naturalist, Ernest Thompson Seton, was holding a Camp I'ire conference.
