PART THREEOMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 8, 1923. 1—C FIVE CENTS > i. g.jj W' gfeciac1 <'3urpen^^^^SgSm Paris this year tried to popularize elaborate costume dolls as the most attractive fad for smart women to carry. New York, however, has denied submission to the decree and has initiated her own fads in defiance. Among these are the walking sticks, of perennial ap pearances, and now Sparky, who was first introduced to Omaha at the races by two of her former Ak-Sar-Ben queens. With royal sponsors he could not fail to please. At bridges and luncheons, though not a brilliant creature, he is a be guiling favorite. Perhaps he takes the feminine heart more by pity than by storm, for, as is seen in the inset, he is not a doughty warrior, and is badly intimidated by a common frog. Mrs. Isaac Carpenter, who was snapped with him by her garden pool, seems to be proving that though you lead a horse to water you can’t make him drink. Mrs. Daugherty, who preceded her on the throne, was caught by the photogra pher as she was leaving for the races on the Fourth. Perhaps these toys caught both their fancies, since they themselves are excellent horsewomen and Sparky is such a kindly travesty of horsedom. Jeanette Cook to Wed Barlow Nye. Mr. and Mrs. William Cook of this city, formerly of Calhoun, Neb., an nounce the marriage of their dnugter Jeanette, to Baxlow Nye of Kenrnej'. The wedding will be an event of the early fall.

Another Angle of the Eternal Triangle Gabby's Hodge-Podge—Suspenders an Fait, Double Iden tities and Latest Romance. ABBY wishes she could hold off for movie rights on this one. It's a new version of the eter nal triangle, and has the "virtue" of having been tried with charming success In real life. It’s Just the thing for one of these deep sea thrill ers. even overlooking the fact that it does away with the expense of the time-honored octopus — the usual tragedy motif The only hackneyed feature Is that the wife as usual Is holding up the heaviest angle. bhe had been out of town for a short time, a few weeks ago. leaving her handsome, rather Impressionable spouse at home. In the leaving process she also, though through no fault of hers. left a brunette vamp, who, though socially unimpeachable, has long been a trouble maker with several of our better-known husbands. These two angles, as such angles never should, Immediately drifted to gether on well chaperoned but g o *lpy parties, one of which Included a conscientious friend who went to the wife with the tale immediately on her return.

To make this long guhhv short, tho vamp Is more of a bench than under water swimmer. Getting out beyond her depth she grabbed the nearest arm and neck which more or less Inopportunely belonged to tho wife angle. Immediately the husband angle came gallantly to tho rescue. Of his wife? No, to tho third angle Even then all would have been ac cording to Hoyle, for the wife could save herself, hail not the husband, cast without coaching, in the life saver part, stepped firmly on her while rescuing his fair burden.

Russell Peters, Rhodes scholar, has returned to visit his parents, the A D. Peters, following two years' study of history at Oxford. Quite contrary to the usual concep tion of the lack of hospitality tendered Americans by the English are Mr. Peters’ talcs of week-ends spent at various English country houses with the families of friends made at the university. "Of course." he ssid, "there, they are not over eager. The chap who roomed next to me and I were only at the nodding stage of acquaintance after a term."
