NY ONE" who" believes that
teachers are apt to become old
maids had better give Weed to
two romances which are, blossoming
(or whatever romances do) within
sight of the blackboard. The odd
part of it is that both the girls in
the case teach in the same room and
are good friends. And Gabby wishes
to state that although their work is
with subnormal children, there is
nothing subnormal about either of
these attractive young schoolma'ams.
Just to show that she remembers
some of the more general statements'
in the third grade arithmetic, Gabby
will designate one couple as A and
B and the other as X and Y.
A is a sorority girl, a graduate of
Nebraska, who played havoc with
undergraduate hearts i. few years
since. ' She has dark bobbed hair and
is frequenty seen driving a Stude
baker coupe. B is a tall, blond
young man whose family are well
known in Omaha and-are old. resi
dents, but who have lived in the east
for the last five years. His father is
a publisher. He. is in the advertising
business. He has two sisters, and
he himself returned to Omaha'only
this summer. '
As for X, she comes from the
Pacific coast and this is her first
winter in Omaha. She met Y at a
picnic, and at the same time she met
Z, both of whom were decidedly im
pressed, and arranged, as boys willr
ta give pretty little X-a large,, joint
rush. Notice the "joint" with special
care for you. will never see it again.
After the first week Y declared the
contract ' null and void, and , poor Z
hasn't been able to arrange a date
with X since.: Y:is a tall, dark young
person in the- medical profession, and '
he served in a medical unit overseas.
And now, after these illuminating
explanations, Gabby wishes to assure
you that 'she is; not asking for the
age of the captain, the price of five
apples or the cubical contents of A
plus B. The answer is simple, but
can not be found in the back of the
book, children. ' ..
((TF you are. well bred," runs'
I the heading of the column, and
each day the social arbiter lays
down more rules for your behavior,
'ut if you are not well bred think
of the good times you can have the
endless array of ungentlemanly acts
you can commit. ! - '
If you are not well bred you need
never wait for food to be passed you
at the table,' you can rise up and
spear the wished-for viands with
your fork and good right arm. You
can sit in comfort on the street car
with no qualms concerning the
parcel-laden woman who - teeters
perilously on the end of a strap. You
do not need to say it with flowers.
You can let your wife wheel the
baby carriage when you go for your
Sunday constitutional. You can tell
the telephone operator just what you
think cf the "service. You can ask
yonr young man to come in and
stay a while if ' you feel inclined,
and you can help him on with his
overcoat when he . tears himself
away. You need never worry as to

If your great aunt slips on a banana

to another while a certain
playe( was being wildly cheered at
a recent game.
."Yes, but it s only temporary
fame; it doesn't last," replied the
second.
The boy of perhaps It) who sat
between them looked up. "Well,
you can't peddle glory all the time,
he said, settling the matter.
ITTER BYNNER; poet, told
here this week of the reli'

his religion, said:
"I am a Christian, a Buddhist, Mo

various organizations which have in

drums, and little 6-year-old Toma

prayers in English for the success

What Happened in Kansas City.
A Most Melancholy, True Pitty.
A gallant youth to K. C went
His soldier frlnds to sae,
And there he found a goodly baad
A gladsome company. ;
They rolled noma ash cans down a, hill
The soond did all entrance.
And when the crap gamea wearied them
Thejr hied them to a dance.
Our youth espied a pretty girt .
A-slttlng at a table.
"Now prithee, gentle fair," he prayed,
"Com dance, yoa sure look able."
The damsel looked him coldly ap
And down. She ehook her head. ,
An ancient crone was sitttng Bear,
"Ask me," ate archly said.
The courteous youth with manner suave
Then took her by the hand,
Intending to asalst her
(Of eourse, you understand). .
The dame, hot-headed, read him wrong.
Which scarcely ha foresaw,
And in the lad s Ternacolar,
She poked him la the Jaw.
Then TJidy. quoth he. red with Ire.

And after your apologies
I'll hid you all good night" -

Mrs. Robert P. Hamilton, jr., says that Bobby already has a passion
for automobiles at the tender age of 3yi. And as a logical outcome he
takes a great interest in good roads and makes them his chief subject of
conversation.. The fact that Bobby's adoring grandfather, Mr. T. F.
Stroud, is county commissioner may have something to do with it, though.
Jeanne, who has only observed the roads of this globe for 13 months, has
no formulated opinions about them as yet.: Or perhaps they won't bear

than the New Lork subways and is
much easier to get to. The trains
are all the way from 70 to 200 feet

they run are so air tight that there
is a . constant draft through them
from end to end. ; The trains come
out of them at each end of the line.

All covered with lichens red and gray,
Two lovers were talking in sweet low tones!
And we were theyl

The love that he vowed would never die.
He called her his darling, his dove most dear:
And he was II
She covered her face from the pale moonlight
With her trembling hands, but her eyes looked through,
And listened and listened with long delight:
And she was you!
On the old, old bridge, where the lichens rust,
Two lovers are learning the same old lore;
He tells his love, and she looks her trust:
But we, no more

Christmas Shoppers . B e g in
v Annual Parade ;Up ; I
"The" Avenue . :
BY WINIFRED
New York, Nov. 12. Like leaves
racing before a coming' storm, the
tirst ot the holiday shoppers rushed
through shopping districts here to
day. ........
So crowded was the avenue at the
high hour of the afternoon thatva
solid line 'of traffic reaching from
Fiftieth street to Thirty-fourth
street compelled many an anxious
eyed woman to gather up her furs,
handbags and Pekingese and take to
her own trusty feet for locomotion.
Many a one succeeded in buyinsr.
or at least ordering, such gowns and
wraps as should make the Christmas
season . one long series of joyful
shocks to beholders.
Others, farther sighted, fared un
to Fifty-seventh street and laid in
the first installment of Palm Beach
wardrobes. For this town manaees
at least to pace the seasons as they
go by. And what more appropriate
Christmas gift for-madam than ' a
summer wardrobe? Especially if it
contains two such delectable gowns
as a famous importer offered today.
-One was so verv French that one
hesitates to describe it save in the
language of that so dear to Paris.
A basque of buff taffeta was fash
ioned close to the figure, but crushed
toward the low waist line to estab
lish a look of softness. It was
sleeveless, and the throat line, just
above the shoulders, was finished
with a straight band of taffeta cov
ered with gold lace .
"Oo La La- Skirt.
The skirt, an "oo la la" thing of
ivory chiffon, was wired bouffant
' over the hios like a ballet rlanrrrV
1 1 be ticiu was deeply scalloped.
VAN DUZER.
Three rows of box-plaited taffeta
and net, set on a line with ' the scal
lops, trimmed it.
The other dress of crepe de chine
suggested ivory lilies for pale &au
ty and grace. . Falling straight from
the shoulders, it was finished with
pin tucks, back, and front to the
moyan-age waist line. : The skirt was
done in shallow accordion plaits. A
sash of crepe tied at each side fell
in streamers longer than the skirt.
There were no sleeves, but a band
of crepe two or three inches wide,
was hemstitched to the arm holes,
and above the oval throat.
Such a floating spirituelle bit of
drapery might Beatrice have worn
when Dante saw her first under his
Tuscan stars. , - '. . .
But the high light of the fashion
array struck from a wrap, a most
gorgeous effulgence of redder than
flame velvet cut to the slender con
fines of woman's adornment, des
tined to maKe or mar the beauty of
one among the thousands who shall
see and covet
It was wide and billowing and the
searing redness was- of the inside as
well as the out. Two broad bands
of ermine ran round the inside near
me Donom. utnerwise it was tin-
tnmmed save for the exotic design
of the collar. .
That was neither more 'nor less
than a scarf of great velvet roses.
They were so huge that any femi
nine head nestling among, them
would be quite lost.

Young Social
Set Are Not ;
Parasites ;
. Mrs. Samuel McKelvie protested
the other day about the "jazz wife,"
the gay,' incompetent young woman
who treats her husband like a cash
j-egister, and who could not keep
house even if she would like to.
There are doubtless plenty who an
swer the description, but young;
married women of Omaha as a
whole .do not. Many are those who;
have grown up in homes where they;
were not called on to do housework
and who have buckled down with a
vengeance to cooking and (Justin,
for two, and who arc proving them
selves able housewives.
Mrs. Herbert Davis has been
taking all the care of their pretty
new house in Dundee since her mar
riage in June, only treating herself
to manicures as a reward. Mrs.
Kenneth Norton , has been proving:
valiently that the college graduat
can be efficient with her hands aa
well as her' head. ' '
Among the recent brides are Mrs,
Edwin Davis, who confesses that
they go to "Mother's" now and then
for an extra square . meal, but
b6asts that they "make out" most of.
the time, and Mrs. Byrne Holmquist,
.who enters ' on matrimony already
an;, accomplished cook and house
keeper. Mrs. Richard ilallory is an.
other bride who "shakes no mean,
frying pan," according to the state
ment of a bachelor who has diner at
the house.'
Both Mrs. Charles ' Burgess and)
Mrs. Lewis Burgess, brides of the
year, have been navigating the culi
nary seas successfully, and Mrs. Al
Hunger's deprecatory remarks!
about .her , housekeeping are no
borne out by her friends. Mrs. Milo
Gates is noted for the good thine'
to eat which she concocjs for hcrjj
guests.
And the incentive of a husband
isn't always necessary to make a so
ciety girl an accomplished house
wife. It is hard to get to market
before Miss Gertrude Stout in thea
morning, and Miss Eleanor Burklc3'4
who goes to school as well as man-4
ages a house, occasionally takes tha)
family socks along to bridge parties;
to darn while she is dummy.
If Mrs. McKelvie is discouraged
she should visit Omaha. '

One set is designed much like a
