Gabby wa Minding at the main
ile-k of the library turning in
Imok on "observation," when th
trail, ttitilitty hint figure drifted in.
When don the reading room
.p.n again for Sunday afternoons?''
Iie inquired softly of a fair-haired
:cisinnt. who looked at her kindly
and answered:
"Our winter avlicdulc began Sep
leiubcr I and the 'reading room is
now open on Sundays from 2 until
0 o'clock."
"Oh." the dear lady sighed will!
MCiinjr relief. Then drawing closer
to the desk and speaking slowly, she
taid:
"We have missed the library ?.
much wh'le it ha been closed this
summer. Father and I like to come
tiown town to services. Sunday morn
ing, have a bite of dinner sonic
v here and then spend te afternoon
in the reading room. We go home
r' dark for a cup of tea and feel
th'-t we have had such a happy diy."
The assistant, accustomed to a
public with large appetite for the
"!at"st fict'on," looked thoughtfully
1'ie reu'.lc one. who turned and
slowly disappeared down the steps.
IT WAS a cold day last winter.
, Snow was falling and there were
Arts exhibit that late afternoon.
A in?n, obviously a laborer, en
tered. He stepped forward into the
room and then stopped as though
to "et Irs bearines.
Plumber or electrician, thought flip
woman in charge, Perhaps 1 can
lieln him.
' In her accustomed gracious man
ner, Mrs. M., hostess for the day,
advanced and addressed the man.
"Mav I assist you?"
, "I just came un to look at the
pictures, the visitor modestly re
turned. Mrs. M. was interested. Here was
a man not of the usual type en
countered at galleries. There being
little demand upon the hostess that
day, she devoted herself to the
stranger. Togct'-cr they went from
canvas to canvas, discussing them
with growing interest, soon forget
ting each other in the cup of con
geniality from which they drank.
The man showed remarkable depth
of appreciation and a rare fineness
of perception for the work.
Daylight was dying ere they fin
ished. . Mrs. M. turned for the light
? witch, and the man began fastening
his coat - for the journey home. .
"Will you not tell me your name,"
Mrs. M. asked the stranger as she
extended her hand in friendly good
bye. . t. ' '
Verv smiohr the man told her,
wee necessary:
"All any life I have loved art. A
a chila I used ;to draw very well,
thev told my parents. I was am
bitious to become a painter, but
we had no money. I had to work
and couldn't study so I became a
carpenter instead. I have never
missed a Fine Arts exhibit. ' I don't
attempt anything myself any more,
but still enjoy what others do."
"A good workman is an artist you
know," Mrs.. M. replied as she said
goodnight. s .
THERE was quite some commo
tion this week at a private show
ing of "The .Four Horsemen of
the Apocalypse" at the Brandeis,
over ; the striking resemblance be
tween the leading - actor, Rudolph
Valentine, and a prominent man in
our young married set, whose secret
marriage a year ago caused consider
able stir in staid Omaha society.
To add interest, it was also ob
, served that the 'leading lady",
looked like the young Orphan's
wife, , who came to us from the east
early this year, though the resem
blance here was not so marked as in
the case of the men.
Gabby need not hint to you who
the young man and his wife are.
She need only describe the screen
actors and you will guess.
The man had "slick" black hair
and a straight back head. His air
mond-shaped eyes were dark and
capable of quick change in expres
sion. He could look like a gay,
spoiled boy one moment, and a
strong, courageous man the next. His
expression was boyish and his
character not fixed in his face, giv
ing the impression that he had grown
up overnight and had not yet found
himself. His eyebrows were long
and his forehead high, and a little
cynical quirk lurked in the corners of
his mouth. 1 .
The leading lady was decidedly
blonde, with pretty round blue eyes,
long lashes, mouth rather largt,
nose widened at the nostrils and chin
slightly receding. The subtlety of
her personality seemed to be sug
gested in the eyes, which, though
open and naive,- possessed both depth
and dreaminess of expression.
Gabby went to the "morgue," as
the photographic files .are called i.i
a newspaper office, to get pictures of
or Omaha couple . for comparison
with the film artists. Although the
lovely blonde is practically a new
comer here, there were more than a
score of pictures showing her in a
variety of costumes and po.ces, but
not one could she find of the young
man who has resided in Ontaha all
bis life and comes from one of the
citv's best known families.
Now who said anybody cares
about the way a man looks?

TTAVE a pleasant vacation?"
JH Gabby asked the Veen-mind-ed
attorney.
"Yes,- except that we took "Main
Street" alongl" . .
"Didn't you enjoy the book?"
"Book? Why that's not a book,
it's an inventory,' he tersely re
marked. "If that author wanted to
tell yon somebody was taking an
automobile ride he would start in
by describing the rubber in the

All the World
Loves a----Fireplace
All the world lovei lover, they
ay. All the world loves a fireplace,
too. -
The Omaha Walking club is work
ing on this tuppotition at least, (or
a fireplace will be the main feature
of their new cabin at Wiley point,
cast of the Hoy Scout camp and the
Fontenellc forest reserve.
Their fireplace will follow the plan
of those used in the big hotels in
Glacier park, round in shape, with a
galvanized iron hood carrying the
mioke off at once through a chim
ney. The ereat advaiitaRe of this kind
of a fireplace is in its "seating ca
pacity." In the Walking club cabin,
which will be ahout M by m tcci,
the fireplace will accommodate at
least 40 people at its immediate
hearth and as many more on the
I floor round, E. S. Jewell, second vice

place was used by the Indians in an
earlier day.
Chorus Singing.
Chorus sincinsr has developed into
a regular feature of the club hikes
and it is thought this permanent
campflre will produce an inspiring
atmosphere for the impromptu con
certs. "We never have a meeting
wiLhout a sing," said Mr Jewell.
The architectural plan and ma
terial of the cabins at Gra:id Lake,
Colo., have been adopted for the
W'alking club structure. Members
will probably build their own tur
niture. The cost of the new building
will be $500. It will be completed
October IS. The cabin formerly on
this site burned down last May.
The Omaha Walking club sched
ule for the year has been issued. It
looks most inviting with its "break
fast walk" on Thanksgiving and its
various descriptions of hikes which
"break into the woods and hills" fol
low "down cinder roads," along
ridges," and "across ravines."
Wedding Veils For
Our Brides of
Autumi
Wedding veils and 'their wearers
hold the center of the social stage
in the early autumn season. Ac
cording to all indications the long .
wedding veils are becoming more and
more popular as the year advances.
Even last spring prominent brides
were choosing the long wedding
veils and trains.
Miss Margretha Grimmell. who
was married to George Flack, Sat- .
urday evening, favored Jf.e long
tulle veil and satin train, bfhe train
of her gown measured thwic and a
half yards and the lovely veil cas
caded its entire length.
Miss Loiuse Clarke, ' fiancee of
Harkness Kountze, will wear a long
veil and train as will t Miss Dorothy
Kiplinger, who will wed Charles
Allison, i ' ' .
i T7 1 . - tr.ri;U.i ia nrfl
to a long train and veil and will wear
a very beautiful one at her wedding
on October 1 to Edward James
Connor. . ,
Miss Dorothy Balbach, who is to
wed Dr. Edwin Davis, has decided
to have a veil about three yards in
length.
Quaint Customs.
What is more beautiful than the .
cloud of tulle hanging gracefully
over the lovely bride? But have you
heard of a custom in a foreign land?
Girls of foreign birth marrying in
the 'United States are introducing
the quaint customs of their home
land. One of these is the double -bridal
veil v and' accomoanying
wreaths a wedding veil for the
bride and one for the bridegroom
made especially for Greek,- but used
by many Hungarian and Russian -bridal
couples.
For the machine embroidered veils
at popular prices English net is most
ly in vogue. The French used to
decorate their hand-embroidered
veils with spangles, but those are the
last decorations to have gone entirely
out of style. The corsage bouquet
of orange blossoms and the trimming
of the veils with tiny orange blos
som bouquets are features of the
new stvles. Rcsirlps that thers will
be the bridal wreaths with low
crown. Bouquets used either for.
the dress or as boutonnaires go w;ta
the wreath. ? i
Approximately 1,000,000 weddings
take place throughout the United
States every year and one-fourth of
the brides wear veils, according to
estimates. . - - ..
