Still she goes marching on I The
modern- woman, ifot content with
changing from shoes to low cuts for
winter wear, and adding to her Au
gust paraphernalia chokers of fur
and muffs of chiffon to match her
filmy capes, is now demanding that
not even stationery be titatic.
The odd part of it is that paper is
a bit behind the mode, for flapper
stationery has entered with its bright
colors and odd sizes, ou the departing
heels of flapper girls. No longer is
lovclv woman satisfied with the se
verely plain square cut sheet of white
paper that has bedpi the "thing" mw
nothing conservative will suit.
Mrs. Douglas l'eters, who until her
marriage last April was Miss Geral
dine Hess, is, of course, in the van of
fashion, with ten pper monogram-
med so cleverly that at first glance it
seems to be in the design of the letter
P, but since it merits attention the
G and H are seen on closer inspec
tion. It is done in henna and
orange, edged with black. It is very
fitting that one of such pronounced
brunette coloring should use note
paper of such exotic effect. Mrs.
Charles Burgess, whose dark beauty
is so well known, has also chosen this
color scheme.
Miss Gretchcn Hess, .who is to be
come the bride of Clarence Peters on
September 30, has chosen palest gray
with a lettering in two darker tones
of gray, in a V shape placed at the
top center of a rather large-sized
sheet. The darkest shade in the mono
gram is carried out in the linings, and
linings, by the way, this year follow
the habits of lingerie, and are more
exquisite than the envelopes them
selves. Some are of silver and gold
brocade shot with rose and blue.
Hand-colored monograms give a
truly '"bridev" look to brides' notes.
'and when combined with silver there
lis nothing as lovely. Miss Dorothy
' Hippie will write her first honeymoon
I letters on finest white paper decorat
ed' with an oval monogram in which
the middle letter of bine is flanked
with those of silver. Mrs. Carl Paul
son also has correspondence cards in
Miss Allen Returns

he was one of the tatf of U5 lac

this design, with French blue initials
and for variation uses note pap'er of
blue with plain square lettering in
purple. The envelopes are lined in
purple of the same shade.
Mrs. James Hunsacker abandoned
her new initials to use her family
crest. She has large cards of white
with beveled edge and the coat of
arms is most impressive in black and
silver.
Mrs. Herbert Davis, impervious to
these whims, has contented herself
with a nlaiii stationery with the ad
dress of her new home engraved in
blue at the top of the sheet.
Miss Blanche' Deuel, who it to
marry Dr. Karl Sage October 4, has
chosen bright red for her new mono
gram in accordance with the latest
mode. They are in a very smart, ob
long design, set in the corfter of the
page.
Mrs. Robert Edwards has both a
tan and brown, and blue and white
color scheme and the paper gives a
striped effect. Other papers of dis
tinction carry this stripe a step far
ther to make squares and are the
dernier cri in papcrdoni, Mrs. Ed
wards is using the long, narrow type
of letter that adds so much dignity to
stationery. Mrs. Paul Shirley is an
other young matron who likes striped
paper. Hers has the fashionable dia
mond monogram in rich blue. Her
envelopes are lined in blue to match.
Mrs. Shirley has ample opportunity
to use her paper as she and Mr. Shir-
y are temporarily located in Ueni-
son, la., and only come to Omaha
over the week-ends.

By GABBY DETAYLS.
K OMAHA boy came back
from a vacation trip this
month and brought with him
a fish story that did not include the
length of the catch. After moderate
success on a certain creek he met a
boy who posed as, "tlie champecn
fisherman of those parts."
Come out with "me some tune,
said the "champecn," throwing out
the manly chest. "These fish up here
are pretty wise, but you can catch
'em if you -know how. I'd be glad
to (.how you. 1 suppose you didn't
have any luck today?
The Omaha boy confessed to hav1
ing caught about a dozen.
You don t say! ' J he great one
looked pained. Then he smiled, gen
erously,' "Oh, well," he .conceded,
"that's likely, too. I haven't been
fishing-sup there this year."
Then he expanded further: "My
secret is to always put myself in the'
fish place. I think lo myself,
Would l like that pool it I were a
fish?' Every time I put on a brown
hackle or a royal coarhman I stop
and think. 'Would I like that if 1
were a fish?' In fact at times I can
understand exactly why at times they
prefer grasshoppers to flies.- Some
times 1 feel that I would myself, if
1 were a fish."

"Why the 'if'?" Snuttered one)
hearer iiiaudibly.
Which led Gabby to philosophize
on the heaven-sent and earth-despised
quality of conceit. Of all the at
tributes of this our too human nature,
none ia more maligned and none U
more valuable. In a good, thick
wrapping of blessed self-esteem v e
can be just as happy as the pro
verbial clam.
"Why is the clam happyf" Answer:
"because he has a nice stout shell
around his quivering little anatomy."
No. one can get at him except
through the medium of hot steam.
And we have all met armor-plated
humans that couldn't even be affected
by that, much as ttvc have longed to
try it. lt is an Irritant, of course,
when present in bulk, but our scien
tific diagnosis of the poor thing from
whose makeup the quality is omitte
reveals its inestimable worth to be,
yea, for above rubies.
"Poor fellow; he is supersensitive.
He is so diffident." Or the psychol
ogist tonics along and murmurs
something about inferiority com
plexes. And we all atvoid the poor
chap. And he never gets to be presi
dent, or a lifeguard, or an editorial
writer, or wear a frock coat to church.
Mcgacephalia is a dread disease, but
the clam without hi clamshell is
much the more pitiable.
Breakfast Revery.
A pensive maiden frowned at space,
Her chin was on her fist
Her soft boiled egg was growing
cold
And wasn't even missed.
Anon she sighed and shook her head
Impatiently, it seemed,
And then again resumed her thoughts
And langorously dreamed.
I can't," she cried with sudilAi fire,
"No, no! I don't I don't!
They all are trying to,make inc
She stamped, "1 simply won't I"
Poor chap," thought I with feeling,
He hasti t got a prayer.
"The lady knows her little mind,
'And he just isn't there."
She solved the mystery with words
My sell esteem still hurts
She said, "They want my new diess
long,
"And I just love short nkirti."
