The Florist Makes Sad Mistake Mistakes “Corsage” for “Cas ket”—Why He Wanted Square-Cut Diamond. By GABBY. TOO much thoughtfulness Is sonic times more trouble-making than none at all. A Dundee matron who is known for her kindness, especially to those in distress, wanted to send flowers a few weeks ago by way of birthday greeting to a dear friend, a few months widowed, who lives in a small town near Council Bluffs. She rumi nated for several days on the kind ka of bouquet least suggestive of a H i funeral. ^ "Make up an attractive corsagr bouquet.” she wrote to her florist, and send to Mrs.-at once.” (Several weeks went by without any word of thanks from the usually prompt friend. It was explained perhaps when the florist’s bill was received by the donor: "To casket bouquet, $10." . ^ -<b— NOVELTY cuts in diamonds are a decided boon to gentlemen with a penchant for getting them selves engaged and then finding they haven't the necessary “follow through" to consumate these In mar riage vows. A bachelor, who though one of na ture’s own shieks has not as yet gone to the altar after a number of flam boyant attempts, phoned for an ap pointment with a Jeweler the other day. He had heard, he said, that the merchant was possessed of the great est stock of square cut diamonds In town. At the subsequent meeting, the bachelor found that none of the set tings was to hie liking, whereupon the Jeweler suavely suggested that a pear-shaped atone would undoubtedly fill the bill, "To be perfectly frank," the pur '•haaer made a newer, “It has to be a square atone! You see my fiancee knows that my first, engagement was with a regular cut Jaeger, my second with a pear shaped gem, and she doesn’t want anyone to think I’d give her anything second hand for this one.” GABBY, who has heard the hot weather slogan, "Too hot to think," so long that she has /•ome to believe It and to practice It r-enthusiastically, hears of a group 9wh* flout the Idea. This group, which Includes Mes dames H. M Adame, E. L. Burke. Charles O'Neil Rich, and ralmtr Find ley, meet each lummer, Monday at the home of Mrs. J. W. Burt for the reading and study of Hauchenbusch's "Theology and the Social Gospel.” ——* GABBY will always remember with mingled feelings the gamut of criticism run by the intrepid Mr. Chesterton as a result of his visit here; accordingly, In a purely aca demic effort, she brings to light the present pronunelamentos of distin guished Omahans upon Dickie Loeb and Dave Leopold. One of our local judges has already been quoted as saying, "This muff about their not knowing what they did Is only bunk.” Seven citizens Interviewed this week, whose names are familiar In the city’s social and financial annals, throw light on the psychology of the young Chicago criminals In the fol lowing classic remarks: Attorney and art lover; "They’re a coupl'a dirty hums.” Social eervlce spinster: "I don't see why they did It." Manager of theater: "They’re a coupl'a dirty dogs.” Grocery clerk: “Ain’t they the limit?” Head of financial Institution: ’’They’re a coupl’a dirty bums.” These Illuminating comments are a little late to play any part In the trial but may help our readers under stand the case more clearly. -<$> YOU can’t pull the wool over the republican women'e eyes, so there, says Gabby. They won’t sign any documents without having read them flret, nor even yet he pho tagraphed without clearly understand ing the methods. It was Friday In Lincoln. The Dawes party, standing on the Frank Woods lawn, was being photographed by a national movie news service. Men and women of the grand old party were there. In the blazing sun they stood. Its beams beating down with a white and awful glare upon the upturned, and we regret to Bay,’ perspiring, faces of the natables. “Are you ready,” the photographer asked as they all paused on the brink of the camera clink. “.lust a moment, pleaee.” The sten torian voice wee that of a woman. “Yes, madam,” said the cameraman, nervously, awaiting momentous words. "Is this going to be a flashlight?" the dear lady asked In all seriousness. It msy have been only a ruse to get the crowd to smile, but whether so or not. It worked, and It was a happy looking group. The artist snapped despite the hot day. Mr, De Puy a Visitor. John de Puy of Columbus.
