SOCIETY •Vernelle Head to Wear Paris Trousseau Here •‘Life in Faris for me will rot be so vastly different from the life 1 have led In Omaha,” said Miss Vernelle Head, who returned this morning from a month's visit abroad with the family of her tiance, Raymond A. Baur, whom she is to wed January 3. "For Instance," she went on, ‘ I will still speak English for the most part. There are 100,000 Americans in Faria—my fiance belongs to American as well hs French clubs, and though we will be In continual contact with the French and will speak their tongue with them, with ourselves we will •continue the use of English.” Omaha Is not to bo denrlved of seeing Miss Heads trousseau. "For she says, "my trousseau relrolves itselt simply Into my winter wardrobe. The only gowns’l will not wear many times before I leave, are my bridal and rehearsal dinner costumes. My linens I left in Paris, but l*will give a trousseau tea later.” Miss Head spent her month in Paris' in prenuptial gaieties, and in se lecting and furnishing all apartment. “An adorable one." she tells us. "Dune in the French manner, that la to say, the furniture is very much lighter and more frivolous In effect than ours, and the drapes are In keeping. We will be on the grrgind floor which is very nice, when you consider that apartment houses there are for the most part, six stories high. It is on the Rue Georges Ville.” Entertaining there is much the same as ours. It is on u more in* tense scale, however. The women in Paris go in more for the intellectual arid for musical things, for of rourse they have unlimited advantages. Dinners are usually part of a "soiree.” A small group dine with the hostess, and many more guests join them afterwards, for the inevitable bridge and music. "Ever so much more exciting than our evening bridges.” The luncheons are the same as those in Omaha, but the nicest leas are never standup affairs. ' One goes, and is seated at a very large table, and conversa tion is, of course, -general. Mr. ltaur will arrive in Omaha Deceinlier 28, and after their marriage be and Miss Head will honeymoon on the Riviera, before going to Paris to live. Today’s Social Gaieties Mrs. John L.

I want to start it working RIGHT AWAY.’* Maybe you already own one! $98.50 saved is just such a machine and all you have to do to make it start grinding out little gold dollars is to INVEST it. Hundreds of Nebraska Power Company customers, and other local folks, have found it very satisfactory to invest their savings in this Company. Their “little machines” (of $98.50 each) have always worked per fectly at grinding out more dollars for them. Possibly YOU have some $98.50 machines and would like to start each of them turning out $7.00 a year for you.

It makes life really worth living. Nothing is more wonderful than a comfortable chair, a child in your arms, a book of children's rhymes and the soft rays of an electric lamp. Seated there, the chMd receives the knowledge which forms the foundation of its later life. For the American Home, Elec tricity has done much more. It ha* placed pleasures in the house where only drudgery , had existed. The vacuum cleaner, electric washing machine, electric iron, toaster, grill and stove have brought many conveniences and pleasures. There is an added pleasure in the use of electricity in Omaha —because of the extremely low rate—one of the very low est in all America. Omaha Is a Great Place In Which to Lire! Nebi'dskd ® Power €.
