Mrs. James E. Davidson, Mrs. Charles A. Hull and Miss Ann How land returned Friday night from a motor trip of unusual Interest and pleasure. They left Omaha Wednesday, July 80, northbound, guided by the David son chauffeur. That was as definite and restricted as their plans were. A tour of Iowa and Minnesota lakes over perfect gravel roads, weather cool enough for wraps all the way. lakes, woods and parks for scenery, boating, swimming and the necessary motoring for exercise, delightful inns for the -wayfarers’ lodging, and Omaha friends unexpectedly at var ious points, sums up briefly the happy outcome of the adventure. Mrs. Davidson kept a log of the Journey, showing that the trip cov ered 1,500 miles with an average of 11 1-8 miles per gallon of gas. She has a record of their hour of arrival and departure at each point and knows to a luncheon the name of each Inn or tavern where the trio stopped. She is having typed copies of this diary made and will present them to her touring companions. Crescent Inn., West I-uke Okoboji, was the first stop of the party. They lunched at the New Ulm the second day and stopped at Tepee Tonka lodge on Green Lake at night, where they had a cottage. On the third day they reached Alexandria, having lunched at the Glenwood hotel, and on Saturday they arrived at Itasca park. The travelers describe the park as "perfectly beautiful," the lodge there looking down on the lake. A rare sight is the white birch forest extending miles and miles. A four and a half mile side Journey took the summer explorers to the source of the Mississippi. They con tinued to Bemidji, and then to Walk % er on Leech lake with a 650-mile shore line. There they remained to enjoy swimming and the quiet over Monday, departing Tuesday morning for Little Falls, where they lunched, arriving at Minneapolis at night. On Wednesday, they dined at the Christ mas Lake hotel. New Radisson Inn, 18 miles out from the city. Detouring on their homeward journey, they visited the Colonel Stone family who are reported «3 brown and well and happy. They are on a piece of land between Lake Jefferson and German lake. The Hoaglands have gone there to fish in previous years. The cot tage hus been enlarged, painted and Ls most attractively decorated. .Spirit Lake, la.. Thursday night and Omaha Friday night completed the lti day tour. Minnesota roads are splendid, Mrs. Davidson said. Dragging machines carry the insignia of the roads on which they work. Highways are marked so carefully no tourist can lose his way. Old Buildings Become New Homes at Hands of Artistic Matrons From Former School House Springs Attractive Resi • Jence—What Was a Barn Is Now a Dwelling of Taupe and Sea Blue Tints—Modern Studio Apartment Created From Prosaic Third Floor. Although Omaha is young In years. It is old in ideas. At least In the I -.! few years we find oprselves following the eastern custom of cherishing llio old. though making It appeur to he something decidedly row. From what was formerly a school house, the Henry T. Johnson*, at ->2H South Fortieth, have made one of the most attractive homes we have. It Is of colonial type, with perhaps the most gracious sweep of terraced lawn In the city. % All the little schoolroom partitions were knocked out, and a wide living * room, remains. The staircase was supplanted hy a fireplace and built In book shelves, and a new hidden staircase leads to the upper floor, where a few airy tjedrooms take the place of a number of hlackhoardcd cubicle*. Mrs. Johnson, who studied architecture at the University of Nebraska before she decided to give up a career for marriage, planned the place, and has decorated it with more than ordinary talent. One of her unusual features is a trellis on which real vines grow the year around. It arches the door way between her living and sunrootns. Quite near her, Mrs. H. H. Elwood has converted the old barn on her mother s place, Mrs. 13. A. Flolyoke, Into the most modern of taupe and sea blue tinted homes. Mr*. Amos Thomas, who Is considered one of the most original of amateur Interior decorators In the city, has given up her cunning home on Dodge street for the winter and Is converting the third floor of her father's home, Dr. F\ 8. OWen, Into a studio apartment. She has turned the airy octagonal shaped cupola tower Into thf dainti est of flowered wall nurserys. Th® slanting walls sh* has had marblelzed and th® woodwork Is don® In th® antique manner. Th® eastern wall has been replaced by a floor to-celling studio window with mullioned panes. Crimson satin and taup® will b® used In the draperies, emphasizing the effect. Among the antiques she has found while delving through attlr oupbnanls. are a spinning wheel which will stand In on# corner and two matching ala baster vases, to be converted Into lamps. A wrought Iron lantern from the old coach house swings In the snlr well, dieddlng Its gleams on a blue and gold batik flung across the bnlustrade.

I Younger Set Continues Original Buttonhole Carnation and Open Magazine Discarded as Means of Identifying Strange Traveler. THE good old recipe for meeting a stranger at the railway station, has been changed In style by the younger set Just as they have changed everything else. Despite the additional complexities of modern travel, the identifying carnation in the button hole, or the magazine signifi cantly opened at a certain advertise ment have been given the go-by. When Miss Charlotte Smith and her guest. Miss Virginia Morrill left last evening for Chicago they set off without fear of missing their house party host, although the only de scription of the brother of their col lege friend, who was to greet them, was a nonchalant "very tall and looks like me," from the hostess Miss Eleanor Farwell, who Is giving the party, met Mips Smith at VaeaaP this year. The acquaintance, they found, was antedated by a boarding school friend ship between Charlotte's mother anil Eleanor’s aunt, Itose Farwell, tho famous Mrs. Hobart Chatfleld Chat fleld-Taylor of Chicago. Mrs. Chatfield-Taylor, It will be re membered. was widely feted by the press In the 90s, as having t ?n the only American woman to be tfi\i f i by King Edward of England to din* with the president of France. { ( HE couldn't come Lerauee she hasn't any eyebrow- or ey< ^ lashes," *w his pared one mem ber of the Thursday afternoon rock ing chair brigade at Happy Hollow to another who had missed one of the most conspicuous and attractive of the younger set who are won't to dance there at the matinees. "The rest of her crowd are at home for the same reason; they had to shave and clip them off," phe went on. Scandalized queries by Gabby reas sured her that this was no new t-ar throus style In the making, but a catastrophe, which has robbed eight members of the just-grr--Joated-from Nghschool set of a few good times. Nature, tampered with, has retail ated, and will take her course. The girls in a group decided tc send for a new dye on the mark'd which was guaranteed to make browt and lashes lustrous and ebony-tinted for six month*. Sent for. and applied. It wa* indeed so lustrous snd ebon that the girls, frightened, tried to remove it. At first they thought It wouldn't come off, but it did, leaving an Irish green fast color In .ts place. That of course, was Intolerable and ther» was no choice left but to go shaven and shorn—and—also remain at home for a spell. GABBY heard a guest In the city during the past week. Mrs. John A. Forthsm of Los Angeles, de scribed as California's best booster. Al though a multimillionaires* with un limited leisure and means to travel, when she was entertained by Mrs. Henry Meyer at dinner at the Colonial Wednesday she was on her first trip a wa v from California. Among those dining with h r on that occasion were Mrs. E W. Nash. Mrs Victor Caldwell nd Mr and Mrs Charles Meyer. The Marvelous Uninhibited.
