PART TWO OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 2, 1922. 1 B FIVE CKNTS Life's Little Comedies and Other Things Romances May Spring From Pipes or Even Dancing School By GABBY-DETAYLS.

The street was suddenly flooded with people, hurrying hungry streams that trickled into corner drug stores, down stairs cafeterias, and shoved greedily through the swinging doors of the quick lunch where Jiggs Spe cial enticed them in. Time for another meal, and the quick step denoted the aching void.

Uniformed authority held up a warning hand while brakes squeaked to a stop. On his way across the Mreet Sonny, clutching at mother's skirt, clutched a pin and pricked his finger. As on innumerable other occasions, he stopped and held it up tearfully but confidently to be kissed, and, as on innumerable other occasions, mother stooped then and there and kissed it. ' THERE is a most attractive young widow, but how long will she stay one? That is what her friends are pondering on while they cut the cards at the bridge table. Since the death pf her husband, who was a prominent Nebraskan, she has spent much time abroad, chiefly in France with an aunt whose country place is noted for its beauty. And there are at least two men in Paris, both Amer icans, whose attentions have been marked. One of her pet possessions is a tiny jeweled pipe which was a present from one of them. And with the pipe came an exquisite blend of tobacco and attar of roses to smoke in it. A new wrinkle for Milady Omaha to note. ; Then there is another man who not only was attentive in Paris but who spends part of his time in this coun try and who recently stopped off in Omaha on his way to New York and the steamer. It is said his sole ob ject was a glimpse of this young woman. 1 Gabby can even go farther and tell more. This last suitor is brother of a California eirl who has just come to Omaha for a visit. And who is she visiting with? Who indeed but the charming young woman who is the heroine of this tale. Which if either, will win her? Ah, that remains to be seen. NO MATTER what your busi ness there are funny things happening all the time if you only can see them. School ma'ams, at least in the primary grades, have a little advantage of the rest of us, During the spelling lesson one day a school ma'am friend of Gabby's had asked the children to form sentences containing the words that occurred in the lesson. "Ivan," she asked a little son of Russia, "can you give me a sentence with the word 'plight'?" "Please is p'lite," responded Ivan, with a smile that denoted the pride of work well done THEY have been parted, parted for a long time by harsh circum stance, but the flame that was , kindled years ago in a children's dancing class at Chambers still flick ' ers brightly. Like all little boys this one had a loathing for stiff Eton !. collars and bow ties and asking little girls to dance, and all the otber hor rors entailed by the word dancing school. But there was one golden haired little girl who wasn't so bad as the others. Not half so bad. As they grew up the boy had a number was married in a middle western city last week, but fortunately it was to another girl. Tho dancing school girl moved to Chicago a few years ago and that is the harsh circumstance above referred to. She is prettier than ever and lived in the Happy Hollow district before her family left Omaha. There is a real engagement now, although no wedding date has been set. The dancing school boy has grown, up into a good looking young chap with dark hair and eyes, , medium height, and he bears a most ' alliterative name. Any girl might be glad to adopt it, prefaced by a "Mrs." As for further indentification marks, if Gabby had his thumb prints she would reproduce them "for the read er's benefit, but so far as she can learn he is far too exemplary a young person to have ever had any made, so you will have to guess. Walking Club Outing at Wiley Point Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Jewell are chaperoning the week-end outing at the Omaha Walking club shack at -Wiley Point. Charles Gadway will be host at , the club house this afternoon and evening and on July 4 Lyman Wil liams will be host. Carl Nagy will lead the walk Sat urday, starting at 3 p. m. from the end of the Albright carline, through Fontenelle forest reserve to the club . shack. Miss Fort Honored.

Miss Cowell, who, after her four years at Vassar college, took a de gree in' law, has been with her par ents, Mr. . and Mrs. Robert Cowell, on a trip around the world, which took them over Europe, through Egypt, I.ndia. Malay and" Japan. "I loved the tropics the most," Miss Cowell said, "perhaps because they are so different from Omaha." And she sketched an alluring picture for a hot day of blue Pacific wa ters, waving palms and tropical flow ers blooming riotously in vivid col ors. "The tropics are the laziest place in the world," said this young Omaha' woman who has had a reputation for indomitable energy. "Burma was the most fascinating of all, and was the most like the orient that I had expected, Kip ling's orient of temple bells, and pagodSs that were really gilded. And the women there wear bright skirts and white blouses and carry colored paper parasols. Everybody is hap py and has enough to eat, .which, was a decided contrast to India, where all the natives looked thin and hungry." While in India Mr. and Mrs. Cowell' and Miss Cowell' met Omaha's Youngest Bridge Among the youngest bridge en thusiasts of the city are. the mem bers of the "Oh Hurry Club." Vir ginia Aldous, Alice Foye, Lucite Mc Grath, Mary O'Keefe and Anna Marie Kennedy. The club, which was organized last spring, meets every Friday aft ernoon at the home of one of its members, all pf whom are. students '"J "fl i Gen. Brewster, who was then com pleting his plans to scale Mount Everest. "I was so sorry to see that his expedition had had to give up," Miss Cowell said, '.'he was so eager to make the summit, and as he isn't a young man he may never be able to try it again." Miss Cowell brought .back a num ber of treasures, one a crimson man darin coat purchased in Canton, another the carved amethyst pendant which she is wearing iif the picture, and which matches her earrings. Amcthyst is her favorite shade. Bronze ornaments from the old temples, embroideries from India, carved ivory and Chinese silks are among the mementoes she brought back, but her pet trophy is a tray table with a top of hammered brass and sandalwood legs, which she found in Delhi. The table had an adventurous voyage across the Pa cific as the Cowells lost track of it at Singapore and had given it up for lost when they finally landed in this country. While visiting friends in San Jose Miss Cowell received a telegram from her mother announc ing in triumph that the table was found, having traveled extensively on its own initiative. "Shopping in the orient is a fine art," said Miss Cowell. "Canton had the most entertaining shops, all built on streets so narrow that rickshaws couldn't get in and we had to go in palanquins. There were mile after mile of the shops, and you always got stuck for three times the right price unless you bargained with the shopkeepers. They never would show you their best things the first at Duchesne college and convent of the Sacred Heart. Friday afternoon is a gala day in the life of a convent girl, who finds the first four days of the week well filled with hours of study and lit tle time for play. "Oh Hurry" is a common expression at the convent on Friday, when with the cares of the schoolroom eft behind the girls " ----- f " v Miss Harriet Rosewatcr graduated this month from Central High school snd is leaving the end of the week with her mother, Mrs. Victor Rosewster, for Philadelphia, where the fimtly will make their home.

M t time you went to their shops, either. They only brought out their treas ures after you had made two or three visits." The Cowells were in Japan in April the month of cherry blossoms, and Miss Cowell described the won derful trees loaded with pink and white bloom. "But with all the blossoms the peo ple never eat cherries," she laughed. "I had to wait .till I got to Omaha for my first piece of cherry pie. The Japanese, you know, are most cere monious as to manner, and one day .we asked a Japanese friend of ours whether Americans were considered gauche and ill-bred because they omitted the bowing and other formalities. He told us that on the contrary most Japanese looked on Americans as extremely proud peo- (Turn to Page Three, Column Six.) Enthusiasts burst forth for a week-end of pleas ure. "In choosing a name for our club we could think of nothing more appropriate than 'Oh Hurry,'" Miss Aldous explained. The girls are much interested in the game and hope to become ex perts before the summer is ended. A prize is awarded each week for the highest score, voune matron who recently came ta J " Noted Artists to Be Heard Here in Concert The Tuesday Musical club has completed arrangements for its next year's program. 'From the opening of the season November 3 with Ger aldine Farrar' at the Auditorium to its closing performance, March 24 when Omaha will hear Fritz Kreis ler, the artists thiy have chosen are of the first rank. This is the second ap pearance of Kreisler under Tuesday Musical auspices, as he closed the season of 1920-1921 and drew one of the largest audiences in the history of the club. Farrar too, is well known to Oma ha audiences, and her appearance in concert tour will be welcomed as heartily as her temporary withdrawal from the Metropolitan Opera com pany was mourned by New York audiences this spring. Benno Moseivitch, Russian pianist, who will appear at the Brandeis un der the auspices of the club, is a musician of international repute. He. has been a favorite in London, and was well received in Holland and Belgium last season, beside being nopular with American audiences from coast to coast. Edith Mason of the Chicago Opera company whose soprano voice has won her laurels in the role of "But terfly," "Manon," "Salome" and other familiar operatic roles, is an Amer ican girl who has had great successes in her own country, in Monte Carlo, in Paris and in Mexico. In private life she is the wife of Giorgio Polacco, conductor of the Chicago Opera company and talked of as possible director for next year to fill Mary Garden's place. She will sing to Tuesday Musical members next "Jan uary. The . fifth artist of the season will be Edward Johnson, tenor, who comes to the Brandeis the first of March. Mr. Johnson, an American, returned to this country in 1919 after a brilliant career as the principal tenor-robusto of the opera houses in Rome, Milan. Florence. Genoa and other principal Italian cities. It was Mr. Johnson who first sang "Parsi fal," in Italy. After his return to the states he scored a second triumph in "Fedora" with the Chicago Opera association. The Tuesday Musical club, form erly known as the Tuesday Morning Mimical club was organized in 1893 with a membership of 12. Meetings were held on alternate Tuesdays at the home of the different members. The programs were given by the members of the club. During the season of 1903 local musicians began to appear before the club and in 1909 the first "Artist Re cital" was given when Albert Bor roff, a noted Chicago baritone, was presented by the club. The member ship last year numbered 1,125. Appli cation for membership may be made to Mrs. O. T. Eastman, chairman of membership committee. . Farm Women Answer the Question "Do You Want Your Daughter to Marry a Farmer?" Those Who Know Tell What Farm Life Actually Is "Would you want your daughter to marry a farmer?" is the question that a magaiine called "The Farm er's Wife," which has a large circula tion in rural districts, asked 'of its women readers, The editors wanted to know from the women who have lived on farms all their lives whether they consider farm life lonely snd full of deprivations and drudgery, whether they are anxious that their children shall escape the unhappy lot which has been theirs. "Would you want your daughter to marry a farm er?" Seven thousand women from all over the United States and from Canada snd Alaska answered the challenge and 94 per cent of them cried "Yes," They are the ones to know. Every mother wants for her children the best that life can yield, the joys that she herself has had, and the joys which she perhaps has missed. The question opened the whole subject of rural life in America and the over whelmingly favorable vote is in di rect contrast to the popular impres sion of life on a farm. Among city folk especially such an existence is looked upon as humdrum and nar- Honored in Italy Miss Ruth Thompson, Omaha girl who is strdying music at Sorrento, Italy, has had thfi honor of appear ing in concert before an audience in cluding many of the Italian nobil ity. The Italian papers gave a glow ing account of the performance, say ing that "the soprano, Miss Ruth Thompson received great applause in her 'Butterfly' song, and in the air from Cavaleria Rusticana.'" Miss Thompson, who is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Thompson of this city, was chosen to sing in Mexican grand opera last winter and won laurels in Mexico City. In the early spring she sailed for Italy, and began work with a number of Italian Maestros at Naples. She is living at Sorrento, most beautiful of Italian coast towns, and has been going into Naples three times a week for her lessons. During the summer, how ever, Maestro Jodice moves his studio to Sorrento. This is the spot where Caruso spent many summers, and is a favorite with musical folk, according to Miss Thompson. Mme. Caruso and her little daughter were expected this month to spend the season there. Miss Thompson hopes to return to America for next Christmas, but may go back to con tinue her studies. I The Land of Dreams By HENRY HOYT. Ah, give us back our dear dead land of dreams! The far, faint, misty hills, the tangled maze Of brake and thicket; down green woodland ways The hush of summer, and on amber streams Bright leaves afloat, amid the foam that creams Round crannied boulders, where the shallows blaze. Then life ran joyous through glad golden days And silver nights beneath the moon's pale beams. Now all is lost There glooms a deep morass Where throbbed the thrush across the dappled lawn. Oh never more shall fairy pageants pass. Nor dance of light-limbed satyr, nymph and faun. Adrift among the whispering meadow grass. On wind swept uplands yearning for the dawn. uw, full of ditcomforts and empty of plrukurrs. But the latin women are the ones who ran br.t answer the question. Not one of them ilc met tlut living on a farm mean hard work. Not one of the v6 per cent is afraid of hard work for her self or for lur daughters. Of the bft pri.e-winuvig letters, tome come from New (.ngtand, some from the south and the Pacific count, many from the tiiiddlc-wettcrn states of Nebraska, Iowa. Illinois, Kansas and North Dakota. "The splendid courage, sanity, wholesome-nets and cleancnt under htamling that pervades rural thought, n here khown, is a priceless anti dote to doubt and gloom," says the Farmer's Wife. "The past year of tlrprrsKiou has been a trying one for farm people. They have borne up under adversity unspeakably well ami are now looking forward con structively toward the future. Hack of this attitude on the part of farm women is the type of real Ameri canism that in the past has made this nation great, and the type that hold out the greatest hope for the fu ture. The farm home has been the balance wheel in times when mod ern city life has threatened to throw our civilization out of balance. The farm home has furnished to the na tion many of our greatest men and women." Among the reasons given for their Omaha Kappas Will Go to Glacier Park for Meeting. Miss Mary Ure and Miss Irene Simpson have been elected Omaha delegates to the Kappa Kappa Gam ma convention in Glacier National park, July 10 to 18.

"Because of this and because I am an American patriot, I should tike to pans this legacy on to my daughter's chil dren." Among the prize-winning letters was the following by Mrs. E. M. L. of Furnas County, Neb.: "I know no safer road to travel through real living than my daughter would take if a farmer were her life companion. It matters not what kind of a farm nor where located nor does it make much dif ference what special part of farm life would be accented. It is the sense of safety, the assurance of food, shelter and drink, and the knowledge that work yields something definite that gives happiness. Reading matter? All you want and any kind, brought by the rural carriers. Music? Classics and comics, any and all kinds for Vlrtrota and other "players." Clothes? Ordered from a dozen catalogs and a world of pleasure In the ordering. Company'' Over the telephone and also close con nection, with any needed aid In the event of illness.

Plenty of it and that Is the best part. Work is not only health-glvln but an absolute necessity to the well-being of all; and It in work like farming, that has visible results that give satisfactloi. Children ? Of course. Nowhere else are so welcome and on the farm they live and grow and develop like the flow-rs they are. Children love the God-mado world and are hampered In any man-made one, no matter how glldnd.
