SOCIETY NEWS FOR WOMEN VOL. 52 NO. 5. Fame May Lie in a Pet Name - Rut Name Makes Little Difference When It Comes to Drinks. By GABBY DETAYLS. W rHEN did Napoleon achieve fame? Undoubtedly when he was hrst nicknamed the Lit tle Corporal." So far as we know Socrates was never affectionately re ferred Ko at the breakfast tables of Athens as "Sox," but it might have bcn better for him if he had There ti(ive been so many famous nick names that there is no room to write them all down Benny Franklin, Tapa Joffre, Teddy Roosevelt, Jack Dempsey, Uncle Joe Cannon and Doug Fairbanks. The real reason that Lenine failed to make a more favorable impression on American hearts is that he never could per suade the boys to call him "Nicky." But as surely as a nickname means popularity, so surely is one young Omaha attorney on the high road to that highly desirable goal. Recently "married, his telephone number does not appear in the phone book, so the other day a friend who was try ing to reach him called information. "Give me the M. H. Baldrige tele phone number, please," he said brisk ly into the receiver. There was a pause, a second's pause only, when the operator's voice came back sweetly: "You mean Mac Baldrige?" DOES a double goop by any name taste just as good? The more widely-traveled members of the community beg to announce :l j r..L tn . ii timt ii tiues. - vut in uenver xney call it "Twin Peaks," but it is just as popular. The goop seems to be exclusive to Omaha. . Picture the 1-J L t M-J " T jouug Jauy who siroueo into a L.os Angeles sqda' palace and asked for one to be greeted with a cold stare. She described it. "Oh," said the more intelligent of the handsome soda jerkers, "She means a Frisco wreck." What could be more fitting in Bos ton than a college ice? Shades of the Lowells and the walls of Academe! In Omaha its alias is nothing else than a strawberry sundae, common or garden variety. To wait upon the customers at the soda fountain with perfect sang froid a young man should have worked at his profession in at least four sections of the United States. Such a one would never even quail if a citizen of Louisville, far from his native clime, should stroll in and re quest a "north pole." He would languidly upend a peeled banana in a dish of ice cream and add a dash of marshmal'ow. The "Lazy Girl" is another southern specialty; appro priate, isn't it? . Then, the profession has its ins and outs and its tips and down. You may not believe it, hut a sundae in Kansas Citv is an "up and down," while in Chicago a chocolate sundae is a chocolats in. and a soda is 'a chocolate out. Grand Island, just to show that the west can be different, j has named it an "under and over." j Ask for "black and white'' some day. You may expect to get a taxi, j but you won't. The profession is ati alluring one in hot weather and makes a splendid study for summer days. S1 GABBY witnessed an amusing sit uation at the Country clubr last week during the transmississip pi Rolf tournament. One of our charming little sub debs who fBnkry admitted that she had lost her. heart to a popular out-of-town tntry, was bubbling with enthusiasm as she watched each play made by the visitor. Turning to a young woman who was silently and intently watching each stroke of the player, she gurgled: "Oh, don't you think that Mr. X is just wonderful, and he's so good" looking. I'm simp ly wild about him." The ioung woman trailed and r ,. VWrTl I s: dt&i, Wo.

In the upper left Mrs. Charles T. Kountze, Mrs. A. L. Reed, Mrs. William Hynes and Mrs. Frank Judson were snapped as they were finishing a rubber between matches. Lower left Mrs. Allan Tukey and her tiny daughter,. Miss Katherine Ann as representative of the very youngest set, were caught watching an interesting "approach." . . . In the upper right are seen a group of Omaha and Den ve friends who have been renewing long established friendships. In the front row are Tom Keeley and Mrs. Cortland Dines of Denver, Mrs. Ross Towle, Moshier Colpetker and Mr. Dines. Directly in. back of Mrs. Towle are Mrs. Glenn Wharton and Mrs. Henry Luberger, and in the back row are Douglas Findley of Denver, Mrs. George Thummel, Mrs. Ed Creigh ton and Mr.. Robert Campion of Denver. In the center are the Misses Gretchen Hess,. Gertrude Kountze -and Dorothy Judson in front of the score tent. Three members of the Pepper Pot club. Miss Emma Nash, Miss Virginia Potton and Miss Elinor Kountze are together in the lower .right. In the lower center Mrs.. Barton Millard is waiting for her nephew, Bob Millard, who figured so prominently among the contestants. ; . agreed that he was "pretty nice." The sub deb's enthusiasm increased as the game progressed and every now and then she turned to the young woman and voiced her admiration., Finally impatient with the young wo man's calm, quiet, reserved answers, she asked, "Don't you think that Mr. X is wonderful? Have yOu ever watched him play before?" "Oh, yes," answered the young woman, "you see, I'm his wife." A FRIEND'S husband is an elec trical engineer in charge of a large power plant. The only child of the family is a small boy of 4, who idolizes his father and who takes a deep interest in his work at ! the power plant. - ' I The mother was teaching ,the little ! fellow the Lord's Prayer, and it was (very apparent that his interest was not in the teaching. Each evening at bedtime a bit more was laboriously memorized. . Finally one evening they reached the phrase "for Thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory." At that the boy raised his head, his eyes bright with interest and in his. father's most professional tone he asked, "Mother, wTiat kind of power does God use?" The papers had a atory Not writ for childien'a y Its details all were ory And fraught with dread surprise. A boarder, being angry. His landlady did abuse; He bumped her and he thumped her And shook 1ier in her shoes. H pulled her hair right roundly. And ha choked her with a rope. Small wonder if the lady Commenced to pine and mope. Every educated reader Of "The Sheik" by Ethel Dell Will think they know the stata of mind Into which the lady fell. "Sbe conld not help but love him!" Those methods never fail." But the lady op and fooled them For she weakly kicked the pail. Moral: So Boarders, who are eager To win a heart that's tough. r cannot alwaya count on The tactica that are rough. The Omaha PART THREE Cheeking Does Not Alarm Directors: at Clubs - L "Cheek to cheek" dancing isnot causing any great furore at the Oma ha country clubs, in spite of the "friendly warning" given Carter Lake dancers last. Saturday night by the president, H. H. Jones. ' "That fad started years ago," said Miss Sampbell of the Field club', "it's practically past. Our young people are pretty good." Mrs. W. R.'Wood, wife of the - Field club secretary, thinks "it's only . the young people who ever do it, and it's going -out, anyway. As to petting parties, clubs' that are troubled with them might add more lights to their porches." , "It never bothered me," facetiously replied v Robert Burns, chairman ' of the house committee of the Country club, when questioned as to whether cheeking was prevalent there. "There have been no complaints that I know of'- - . -."-. v.- , Barton Millard, a director of the same club, said no ruling against it had ever been considered necessary by the directors. "There has never been any criticism of the dancing at the Country club," he added. Cheek to cheek dancing and cutting in are both strictly banned at the Happy Hollow club,; and moreover, they have been stopped, according to C. C. Sadler, president "It's a fami ly club and everyone is well be haved," he stated. "Fraternity and sorority parties give trouble occasionally at their private dances, but they are immediately told that the rules of the club must be ob served." "Lakoma is too far. away," ex plained Miss June Carey, one of the club secretaries, "The young people OMAHA, SUNDAY Welfare conditions in Austria are appalling, according to Dr. Jennie Callfasvwho, with her. husband. Dr. W. S. , Callfas, returned - last week from a -five months' trip spent in northern Africa and Europe. "Of all the countries we visited the greatest suffering ' seemed to be among the Austrians, who are dying by the hundreds from lack of food," said. Dr. Callfas. "In Algiers' and Damascus chil dren 8 years of ago are: put to work in the carpet 'factories, where they toil from 8 until 5 and often until 7 p. m. for a few cents a day. In these countries no attention is paid to the education of girls while the little boys go to school ' only two hours each day," Dr. Callfas stated. While in London Dr. and Mrs. Callfas visited Dr.- and Mrs. Nelson Mercer, formerly of Omaha, at their beautiful villa, Sidmouth Lodge. Dr. Mercer expects to return to Omaha on business this fall. Mrs.- Mercer and the children' will not accompany him, but plan to return two years hence, when the family will again make Omaha their home. Luncheon and Cards. . "The Benevolent and Patriotic Or der of Does will entertain at a lunch eon and card party Tuesday at Car ter Lake club. Reservations may be made with Mesdames Penn Fodrea, Floyd Kel ler, J. V. Hiss or W. H. H. Walker. The affair is open to the public. can't get down here "very easily and they are the only ones , who cheek. Our older "members aren't given to it." . - - -' Mr. Jones of the Carter Lake club in his reproof of the dancers last Saturday called attention to the club ruling against cheeking. -"If you must have petting parties please con duct them at home in the future," he admonished his hearers. The Forbidden Lure By FANNIE STEARNS DAVIS Leave all and follow, follow!" Lure of the sun at dawn, Lure of a wind-paced hollow Lure of the sun withdrawn, Lure of the brave old singing Brave ancient minstrels knew Of dreams like seafog clinging . To boughs the night sifts through. "Leave all and follow, follow !" The sun goes up the day; Flickering wing of swallow, - ' Blossoms that blow away; What.woulcUyou, luring,- luring, When I must bide at home? My heart will break her mooring And die in reef -flung foam! . Oh, I must never listen ! Call not outside my door. v Green leaves, you must not glisten Like water any more. Oh Beauty, wandering Beauty, : Pass by; speak not. For see By bed and board stands duty To snatch my dreams from me ! Sunday Bee MORNING, JULY 16, 1922. i - i ii a 1 C ; ' m-i , Ballots by Mail Becomes , Slogan of Omaha Women Away on Vacations Housewives and Teachers Not Too Busy to Apply for Their Pink Blanks. . Beneath the surface of bridge and golf, summer preserving and vaca tion plans, there is running a cur rent of politics these days in the minds of mosf Omaha women. Sum mer trips to the sea shore or the north woods or the Rockies take a deal of planning, and there are clothes to be got ready and the house to close and dad's fishing tackle to look up as well as Elizabeth's bath ing suit and Jimmy's camp kit, none of which have been seen since last September, but mother, is not too busy to have a candidate and to find out something about him. Or perhaps these keen politicians are teachers who are going off for their annual vacation from correcting the papers of that same Elribeth and Jimmv. and from trying to make the decimal system clear to their un willing little minds. Whatever their occupation or wherever, they are go ing there are a goodly lot who are re membering their obligations as citi zens, and who have been forethought- ed enough to write the-election com missioner, W. H. McHugh, jr., for their absent voters' ballot. Many have gone in before their departure and signed the necessary pink appli cation. To' such, a ballot will be duly sent before primary day and they will be able to have a voice in Nebraska's welfare even though they may r be scaling Long's Peak when the fateful July 18 rolls around next week. The catalogue of names is interest ing. It is no surprise to find there Mrs. M. D. Cameron, who is noted for her activities - in club and civic work. She and Mr. Cameron will be at their cottage at Lake Okoboji, where they have spent the past U summers, but both will have their ballots. In many cases husband and wife applied together, but only time can tell whether they cill can cel each others vote. Among these couples who planned for the future primaries are Mr. and Mrs. George Tunnictiffe, who are at . Belle Isle, Isle Royal, in northern Michigan; Mr. and Mrs. E. G. McGilton. who are spending two weeks at Horse Shoe Inn. in Estes Park. Colo., and two other summer sojourners in Estes Park, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Crossma.i, who are at Stead's ranch. Two generations, are prov ing their interest in state and civic matters in the Lee Comstock family, tor beside Mr. and Mrs. comstock. they daughter, Mrs. .Harold Evarts, and Mr. Evarts have all made apph cation- This family, is at Evergreen, Colo. In , the other direction there are Mr. and Mrs. Warren Switzler, who will have their ballot, mailed to them at Quincy, Mass., and Mr. and Mrs. William H. Wrightson, -who are at present in Baltimore, Md. Out in: Montana where Lake Mc Donald' washes the shores of Glacier park, Miss -Helen and Miss Doro thy Smith will., receive theirballots. For several summers Dr. and Mrs. Smith and their daughters have spent two months 'at this northern resort Francis Brogan left last-week for The Highlands, near Monterey, Cal., to join Mrs.' Brogan for the sum mer, and he is another who made arrangements for a ' vote bv mail Alice" Parsons Tedrow. ' well known as a soloist, has found time during a strenuous summer of musical study in Chicago to send for iher ballots, as did Miss Bess Dumont of Central High school, who is at Madison, Vi., at the summer school. Mr. and Mrs. George Ryan, Miss Nell Rvan and Herbert and Harry Ryan all made application before they left for their vacation trip to Evergreen;. Colo. Miss "Mary Austin, principal of Bancroft school, will be in Spring Valley. San Diego county, Cal.. when her ballot' reaches her, and Miss Hat tie White of Saunders school will be in -San Francisco.

AMUSEMENTS WOMEN'S FEATURES FIVE CENTS l26 IT' Golden Wedding Celebrated Today When Mr. and Mrs. James Ander son sit down-to dinner on Sunday to celebrate their 50th wedding anniver sary, all eight of their children will be with them, and two of them made long trips to be here for the occasion, Miss Helen Anderson came from Ko rea and Samuel Anderson from Con stantinople. There are three other daughters, Mrs. L. W. Bunnell, Mrs. Charles Stein and Miss Bess Ander son, all of Omaha. The last named is on the Staff of the public library here, and is now on her vacation. The three other sons" are Robert, James, jr., and John McDonald An derson. - It was 50 years ago in the village of Sanquhar in Scotland that the wed ding took place, but for 40 years the Andersons have been residents of. Omaha. The dinner today will be-a family affair, but on next Tuesday evening there will be a reception, when they will be at home to their many friends. Miss Helen Anderson has for th past four years has been a teacher in the Academy for Young Women in Ping Yang, Korea, or rather "Cho sen," which is the native name for the country. The school is conduct ed by the North Presbyterian mis sion and offers a five-year course for girls from 10 to 18. Of the 165 stu dents, over 100 live in the school dor mitories. Dating from the time of the independent movement in Korea five years ago, parents have become eager for their daughters to be edu cated, according to Miss Anderson. "They are girls of all classes, too." she said, "not merely the cultured and well to do. I myself have had charge of the industrial work, by means of which ' the girls who cannot afford to pay for all their board and tuition earn their way. We teach them to embroider and to sew. and they are very apt pupils, making beautiful luncheon sets, scarfs and lingerie. I market their work in China and Ja pan and it is popular with American tourists. The girls would rather embroider than go Out and play and we have to make them leave their needles and go out for tennis and basket ball. Sports are becoming more popular, but the girls led se cluded lives for so long that exercise is queer to them. They don't wear; middy and bloomers when- they play, as American school girls- do, for the native costume is quite ideal for ath letics. The girls wear "padgies which ate sort of ankle length bloom ers, and over them a short plaited skirt and jacket. The school uniform follows these lines and is of brown and white gingham. ' The girls wear their , black hair in long braids and braid black ribbons in.it." Miss Anderson brought back with . her a number of 4olls, dressed in the native fashion, and many of the beau tiful embroideries made by the girls. She has taught piano and organ and says the Koreans love music and sing well. ' Many of them go over to Japan to continue the study of mu sic and English in much the same way. that our .American girls go to Paris for a little polishing off. : "It used to be a disgrace for a Ko rean girl not to marry," Miss Ander son went on." "But nowmany of them are .so . enamoured of higher educa tion that they want to go on study ing. Many of them become teach ers."'" - Samuel Anderson, who has just returned to the 'states with' his wife and three children, has been in Asia since his graduation from the. Uni versity of Nebraska, first as a pro fessor in the American,' college at Beirut. Persia, from 1903 to 1910, and then as treasurer in the Roberts col lege at Constantinople. Mr. Ander son is vitally interested in the east ern question. During the war he was active in the relief of the Armenians and Greek sufferers in California, for he had returned to the states in 1916 and was unable to retura t Turkey until 1919, V : r
