I Society Assumes Brighter Aspect With the Approach of Ak-Sar-Ben SEPTEMBER, precursor of the social season, is dotted with more social events than has preceded it the summer long: Despite the departure of our boys to training camps, society is having its last fling at country clubs before their closing dinner-dances the last Satur day evening of the month. Luncheons and dinners, chiefly for visitors and girls of the school set soon to de part for eastern institutions of learn ing, dot the social calendar and a new afternoon of amusement, knitting par ties when one busily plies the needle (and as busily the tongue) for and about one's soldier boy friends. Weddings, too, there are in which society is interested. Miss Helen Scobie's marriage to Mr. Alan Mcr Donald, Tuesday, a quiet ceremony at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Scobie; Miss Vir ginia Weller's wedding to Mr. O. Dean Davidson next wek, Wednes day, at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles K. Weller; and the marriage- of Miss Lenore Younpr, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Young of Macedonia, la., to Mr. Eldred Schuyler Hart, son of Mrs. Ernest Eldred Hart of Council Bluffs, scheduled for. September 22, are. among the interesting ceremonies of the month. There is another of which Mellificia can only hint. "She" is a well known pianist who lives in Dundee. Her en gagement to an out-of-town man dates back several years, but, though few are in the secret, the marriage is sure to take place this fall, possibly before the month is out. Her mar riage will take this popular young musiciart out of Omaha for, needless to say, she will take up her residence in the bridegroom's home city. It will be a very (JUiet home wedding. Ak-Sar-Ben season is, of course, first in interest and already the visitors for the big coronation ball are begin ning to flock t'o the city. The military idea which will be carried out in all arrangements for the big annual ball, in keeping with the spirit of the time, gives promise of making the ball room a particularly brilliant spectacle. Mr. and Mrs. Philip Metz, whose en gagement was announced exclusively by The Bee last Ak-Sar-Ben week, liave already arrived from Buffalo, but will spend two weeks on the Metz ranch in the western part of the state before the ball. For this event they will be joined by Mrs. Metz's parents, (Continued on rage Two, Column One.) - Omaha Men Serve Uncle Sam . In Posts All Over the Country R. WILL Ross, jr.. s6n of Dr, and Mrs. W.

Edward George, honoring their guests, Miss Irene Grosse and her father, Mr. John E. Grosse,, of Pasadena, Cal. The Grosses are spending the week-end in Omaha enroute to New York. Six tables, seating ten guests each, were arranged for, the dinner, each table bearing a large basket of pink, lavender and white, asters, tied with fluffy tulle bows in the same shades with the addition of green.

Philip Downs,' who enlisted last March in the mosquito fleet while he was still at Union college, only re ceived orders last week to report at the Brooklyn navy yard and left Sun day. Just what duty he was to be assigned to he did not know when he left, but since the mosquito fleet is to be disbanded, according to all re ports, the men in it will probably bi transferred to other branches of th service.
