When the college girl conducts tier romances away from home it hard for Omaha folks to keep right up on the latest devejopments, but my goodness "how they do try. l'or-the benefit of. those who are straining every nerve to keep well informed by other methods than reading the Literary Pigest, Gabby v-ill ori".t a brief summary of the .'..until in social circles: "Our Own Amatory Digest," she has decided to name it. The month has seen a brisk flurry in mails. One young lady who has not announced her engagement, but " who has given plenty of grounds for suspicion, has received SO count 'em, SO letters in the brief space of 30 days, according to her own admis sion. And, not having -been able to express with a pen, which we must conclude is a facile one, all that was in his heart, he has thrown in a few telegrams to boot. One evening the young lady sat up for four hours waiting for a long disU. ce telephone call from the region which the Pil grim Fathers nicknamed New Eng land. In vain she waited, while the family smothered their smiles in their "pillows. At last she gave up and sought'solace in-sleep, but then the telegrams began'to arrive explaining just what was the matter with the telephone system. " Rest was brok en up thoroughly in that household. Gabby would like parenthetically to insert an apology for her style. Try as she will she cannot acquire that concise and strictly neutral way of stating things that the esteemed Digest affects. Her pwn personal prejudices wilf creep in, and she may as well admit at the beginning that her prejudices are all in favor of romance. But on with the chronicle. One mojt attractive college girl was considerate enough to wait un til she got home to start an interest ing affair with one of the city's bach elors, who is often described as ir resistable. Whether she finds him . so or not Gabby has not been in formed, but they can be seen several afternoons a week at one -of the clubs golfing together. As a word of warning, for bright, well informed little lads, no other class can com pare with the caddies, lheir eyes ?i! fJZK y"UA 3 they do take in the club patrons 1 Two sisters- from an eastern city who were visitors during July, have caused a buzz of comment. The first to arrive swept the city by storm and attached at least three ardent cavaliers, one tall and curly ' haired, note for his dancing, another a de cided blonde, and a third good look ing chapr who has dark hair and an elusive way with htm.. Still another bean followed her from the east The other sister's visit was a brief one,, but the young gentleman who hastened to appear from a neighbor ing city is said to be a childhood friend whose devotion has never wavered. Although, the. Young Vis iters had a retinue of no mean pro portions. And then there is one of those ring affairs. There are no two ways about it, they are concrete enough for , any Digest The possessor of the ring has two married sisters, both of whom live out of town. She, herself, lives in the southwest quar ter of town, and the donor "of the ring, if so he may be termed, is a handsome southerner, who is in every way eligible. He has spent the last six weeks in Omaha and the engagement is to be announced very j8 to Introduce DETAYLS. soon. His name, by the one well known in the world, and is engraved in letters upon the doors of the bank ing edifice just across the street from the United States treasury building in New York.-:. He is said to be related .in fact as well as in name. Note;-The Amatory Digest will not be on sale at all news stands. This is its first and possibly its last ap pearance. THE young mother is trying to , train her son according to the latest approved methods. Per sonal responsibility is the keynote of her system.' Tommy has had it explained to him many times in terms of 4-year-old understanding. The other day Tommy's baby sis ter just would not go to sleep and "so mother had no chance to do all the many household tasks. So, in desperation she summoned Tommy from his play in the garden. "Tommy, will you mind sister for a few minutes while mama is in the kitchen?" "No," answered Tommy stoutly. "Why, Tommy 1" "You buyed sister," declared the victim of his mother's educational theories, imitating the firmness with which he had been met so often. "You buyed sister, now you mind her." THANKS to the Sunday supple ments, we are all familiar with those of Nature's Noblemen who have a bit of trouble with their j's. However, it isn't so often that Jonson becomes Yonson in casual converse in these parts and so it oc casioned some mild amusement in a certain respected family when the youngest son set sail on the Sea of Republican Women Plan Booths at County Fairs. The republican women of Ne braska will not take an active part in the campaign until after the state convention in Lincoln, August 15, but various plans are already being imade and will be proposed at the con vention. y Mrs. Lulah T. Andrews, outgoing secretary of the republican state com mittee, who states that she will, not be a candidate, for re-election, will submit a plan which has been . suc cessfully tried .in Illinois, and which is recommended by Louise JJodson ot the national headquarters at Wash ington. The program is to open up at each county fair a republican wo men's headquarters under the author ity and direction of the local repub lican women, either in a booth in some permanent building, or in a tent erected for the purpose. This head quarters may be provided with chairs and should be a comfortable place to rest Lemonade or drinking water should be on tap, and entertainment of different sorts provided. At in tervals during the day there might be short, snappy speeches either from women or men, perhaps the candi dates, themselves. . Phonograph rec ords of political speeches and music and motion pictures will be anmong the suggested amusements. Litera ture may be distributed from here. Crook Relief Corps.

"Oh, he's in Yale," was the reply, and it was a moment before his sister could understand the kindly commiseration of the glance that accompanied the exclamation "Yasper in Yaill" FRIENDLY enemies, so much in vogue in drama during the late European unpleasantness, are"at large again this time ia the heart of our own little domestic circle. One young woman who lately has be come a Miss after being a Mrs. for a matter of two years or so, and who was quite evidently convinced of the horrors cf matrimonial war at the Miss Leach Few visitors have been more showered with attentions than Miss Nancy Leach, pretty Minneapolis girl, who has arrived to spend two weeks with Miss De Wecnta Con ;',o ' ! S&dinson, time of her discharge, was seen din ing in the most admirable amity with her mate some time after the papers had been signed. Of course, Gabby inquired, as she .very well should, if it meant a reconciliation had been effected. The answer was that, "no, this dinner was only a matter of sentiment, a celebration, if you please. T of the anniversary of their wedding day." It seems the husband is no longer an Omaha man and, passing through on the day of days, arranged the party. It must be easier, from all one' hears, to remember your wed ding date when it doesn't mean any thing, rather than when it does, what? Widely Feted rad. The two girls were roommates at Dana HalL They will lead a busy life for the next fortnight as parties are being given in their honor every day. Society Discussing Ak-Sar-Ben Maids With the Ak-Sa,r-Ben festivities less than two months off, speculation is rife as to which of King Ak'ssfair young subjects are to be chosen tu grace the court of the new sovereigns. In recent years the royal princesses have often been chosen from the school set, and many a maiden is secretly wondering whether . she could possibly placate the school au thorities if she should go back late; IF she should be asked to be special maid to the queen. The coronation ball will take place Friday evening, September 22, and will revert to balls of several years ago in the elaborate detail of the ceremonial. - The adaptation of the Den show whichwas given last year in conjunction with the ball will not be attempted this season. Mrs. Arthur Guiou, wife of the reigning King of Ak-Sar-Ben, will be in charge of the arrangements at the ball. She is at present out of town on a vacation trip, but on her return 10 days hence, plans will go hastily forward. The-12 royal princesses will be chosen from a large group of girls between 18 and 22. Probabilities are listed below: Mliae Catherine Denny Willow O'Brien Jean Kennedy Mary Flndley Oertrude Kountze Virginia Barker Pauline Coad Helen Porter Mildred Walker Misses Irene Simpson Rorothy Bahlman Virginia Leussler Marie .Neville Gwendolen Wolfe Margaret Eastman Mildred Westen Dorothy Norton Katherlne Baxter Flora Marsh Josephine Plattner Manrlne Richardson Charlotte Smith Ruth Nolan Marjorle Ribbell Much brain wracking is taking place anent the queen herself, who will take the place of Miss Claire Daugherty.. popular reigning mon arch. Until the curtains part for her triumphal entry the night of the ball one guess is as good as another. She will be a member of a well- known family a girl with beauty and good carriage. Among the names which are be ing murmured across the bridge table and what is more, the dinner table and the breakfast table as well, are those of Miss .Eleanor Burkley and Miss Vernelle Head, both of whom are summering in Europe. Both these young women have served as princesses in former years. Miss Head is rather tall and her beauty is of the blonde type, while Miss Burkley is an Irish type with dark hair and blue eyes. Her dignity and presence attracted much comment last year. One of the most popular candidates in this guessing contest is Miss Ger trude Stout, who was president of the Junior league last season and who is a favorite with the league set Miss Stout, although jiot tall, carries herself well and is strikingly dark in coloring. Two of last season's popular deb- utantes, Miss Dorothy Judson and Miss Dorothy Belt, are often sug gested. Both of these young women have dark hair, which is bobbed in tbe prevailing mode, and are of me dium height and slim. Visitors From Norfolk y z $ to Mrs. Edward Aycrigg of Norfolk. Richard, who have been visitine Mrs. leave today witn Mr. Aycrigg, who joined them last night, for Stamford, Conn., where they will spend a month with Mr. Aycrigg's family. They will stop again in Omaha for a short time during September before return ing to Norfolk, Auto Tourists at Omaha Camp Ground Describe Joys of Life in Open. "It's nice and cool up here on the hill in the shade, but the Omaha tourist camp ground needs a lot of improvements before it is in a class with those in western cities," was the cry that went up one warm afternoon this week from some dozen auto tourists from all sectins of the country, who were busily cooking supper on the edge, of Ehnwood park. Motorists who have found any of the conveniences of home missing during their sojourn in Omaha would be reassured for their future- stops here if they could talk to Joseph B. Hummell. There may be bumps under their beds now, the cook stove may be -rusty and the two showers may. extend only a cold welcome to the dusty and travel-stained, but by September 20, if they wend their way back, they will find that a trans figuration has taken place. It re- William, her eldest son and hahv Avcriee's mother. Mrs. R. S. Hall mains to be seen whether efen -th park commission itself make six spears of grass grow where there if a half of one now, but by next sum- mer even that defect can be remedied so the nature experts inSist. Work has already begun on two new build ings, to be made of concrete, with tile roofing and cement floors. The ground has been broken and the foundations are now being laid for the two structures, which, with the other improvements to be made, will be completed at an estimated cost of $30,000. According to Mr. Hummel these two buildings will house every convenience that the most luxury-loving autoist could expect, laundry rooms, equipped with 'washing machines and mangle irons (it is to be noted that some tourist less scrupulous than his , fellows has absconded with the sole ex isting washboard on the premises); hot and cold showers, numerous gas stoves and electric lights. A care taker will be put in charge and all these ' comforts will-belong -to who soever registers his- name and ad dress and car number for the space of 96 hours, rent free. Although there will be no grocery store in connection with the camp, there is a small concession stand in Elmwood park where staples can be purchased. The present site, which commands a fine view to the west and can almost always boast a breeze, will be extended eastward, and the, rough places will be made smooth. Camping in 1922 is a vastly differ ent thing from the old days of a blanket, a can of beans and a coffee pot. One has only to listen to the stories of the friendly folk who aro to be found every evening unloading their outfits, putting up their tents and folding cots and cooking supper on 'their 'portable gasoline stoves to realize that roughing it is now dona de luxe. More than likely you will find mother cooking the chops while fat1 er enjoys nine holes of golf on the Elmwood course, for many motorists travel with their golf clubs. x Both Mr. and Mrs. H. J. McMur ray of Newton, la., had their clubs with them and were enthusiastic con cerning the course. They were in a party of 13, which seems to dis turb them not at all, and with three cars are motoring to Denver. Oth ers in their party included Mrs. Elea nor Cox and daughter, Lois; Mr. and Mrs. Dick Tripp and two sons. Mrs A. F. Haupert and her twin daugh ters, Josephine and Grace Arlme. aged 6, and Mrs. G. M. Tripp, an old lady of nearly 70, who according to her daughters, gets more fun out of the trip than any of them- Their all hail from Newton. j Camped next to them were Mrs. M. E. Brett and her son, Ernest Brett of Los Angeles, who are driv ing to Mason City, la., and who have come 5,000 miles by way of Portland, Seattle, the Yellowstone and Denver, and have only slept indoors one night, of which they were justly proud. Nowhere is rubbing elbows more genially accomplished than in a tour ists' auto camp, so say they all "One of the nicest parts of the trip is meeting people from all over the country," said Mrs. Brett, "and everyone will give you a helping hand if you need it." As if to prove hef statement, the? next tent in line belonged to Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Ensign of Cleveland who were headed forDenver and down the hill a little way Mr. and Mrs. C.-R. Smith of Salt Lake City and their two sons. Rover and- Franklin, (Tara W tt Twe, Olua
