Invitations for Large Affairs for
Newlyweds Recalled Tuesday
This week is to be one of canceled affairs for newlyweds. Many would-be
hostesses have changed -their minds because of the heat and have reduced
parties to foursomes, but illness has robbed social Omaha of one of the largest
affairs of the summer season.
Yesterday Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Johnson recalled the 150 invitations Issued
for the reception they were to have given Saturday evening, July 14, because
of the continued illness of Mr. Johnson, who has been confined to the hospital
for some time. Their daughter, Mrs. R. Russell Best, and her husband. Dr.
Best, are hurrying home from their honeymoon in Maine to be honor guests
at the affair and will arrive Saturday.
Yesterday Miss Peggy Reed canceled her luncheon party. A recurrence of
the appendicitis attack Mrs. Denman Kountze suffered in London on her
honeymoon and the operation which she underwent yesterday at the Clark
son hospital robbed Miss Reed of her honor guest.

Used 3.000 Years
By Beauties
Don’t ever expect to find anything for the
skin to excel palm and olive oils. Neither
women nor scientists, in 3,000 years, have found
anything to compare.
In Egypt, in Cleopatra's time, women fos
tered and kept their complexions with palm and
olive oils. In Rome, 2,000 years ago, palm and
oliva oils always followed the bath.
t
Now the millions
But those helps, in ancient times, were for
the few. No\y millions of women enjoy them.
Now palm and olive oils are blended in a
soap. A new method gives thtyn far greater
efficiency. That soap has become, by its match
less results, the leading facial soap of the world.
* Not an accident
Palmolive Soap was no accident. We did not
stumble on this blend. The men who perfected
it had spent a lifetime in the study of facial
soaps. The basis is oils used for 3,000 years.
But they never were made so effective.
The price is ten cents, due to enormous vol
ume. But remember this, if costlier soaps seem
better. Palmolive, in the test of time, has won
supreme place among women who keep young.
Every woman owes to herself its use. It
cleanses the skin to the depths. Then it softens
the skin atid preserves the youthful bloom.
And it does these things in the best ways the
ages have discovered.

“My Husband's Love”
What Mother Graham Did to Make
"the Place” Secure.
Katherine’s description of Mother
Graham as "imagining the curtain
just gone down on the first act," was
most apropos, I mentally commented,
as my mother-in-law came hurrying
hack into the living room, with Mrs.
Ticer smiling sedately in her wake.
She was all a-twitter with excite
ment, and I saw that, as usual when
anything exciting happens, her ill
temper had been smothered by her
curiosity.
"Bless my soul, girls!’’ she said im
portantly, as she bustled in. "Have
you heard about this escaped boot
legger, probably a murderer, whom
Mr. Ticer and Jerry are helping the
state troopers to hunt?"
I did not need Katherine’s surrep
tions nudge to take my cur. It
would never do to rob Mother Gra
ham of the dramatic thrill which
would Invest her recital of the facts
she had just learned from Mrs. Ticer.
“That’s a Good Idea!"
“A murderer?” I exclaimed in pre
tended astonishment. "Jerry said
something about chasing a man. but
I didn't-’’
"That's about as much concentra
tion as you ever put upon a subject,
Margaret.” my mother-in-law inter
rupted with kindly hauteur. "Sup
pose you listen carefully, now. Mrs.
Ticer says-"
With commendable gravity, Kath
erine and I listened to Mother Gra
ham's exaggerated version of the
tracking expedition Sam Ticer and
Jerry had joined and of which we
had heard in detail from Sam Ticer
himself, only a few minutes before.
By no gesture or word did Katherine
or I betray our previous knowledge,
although tlie -comprehending twinkle
in Mrs. "fleer’s eyes before she turned
to the window made it hard for us to
keep our faces straight.
“I must warn Jim to keep a look
out." This when she had repeated
every detail of the story at least
twice. "Why, the man might take
a notion to try to hide in our barn!"
That subconsciously she hoped he
would do that very thing, was plain
to all of us. With reluctance I spoke
for the first time since my mother
in-law’s monologue began,
"Don’t you think we’d better tell
Jim to keep the news from Katie as
long as he can?" I asked deferen
tially, for I had visions of what our
household would be like with Katie’s
probable hysteria added to Mother
Graham's excitement.
"Really, Margaret, that’s a very
good Idea," my mother-ln law's com
ment was the perfection of patron
age, as she left the room, and Kath
erine finished the sentence with a
grin.
"For a moron." she murmured in
so low a voice I was sure Mrs. Ticer
did not hear her.,
AA ith a hasty impudent grimace at
her, I turned to our neighbor, who
with instinctive self-effacing courtesy-,
had pretended to he absorbed with
the view of the distant ocean from
the living room windows, while my
mother-in-law was talking to me.
"Did you tell Mother Graham about
getting the girl across the Toad to
help?" I asked.
Mrs. Ticer turned from the window
with an ainAed little smile playing
around her mouth.
"I didn't get a chance," she said.
"I happened to mention the bootleg
ger first, and just as soon as she
had found out all I knew, she flew
down here.”
"Suppose you sit down," I suggest
ed "You'll have quite a wait for
Mother Graham. I imagine.
"She’s probably searching the barn
herself by this time," Katherine com
mented whimsically, but I, knowing
my doughty niother-Tn-law. was sure
that my friend's conjecture had far
more of truth than she suspected.
Mother Graham Is Pleased.
“I thought I might start on the
rooms,” Mrs. Tlcer said, "but she
didn’t tell me which one, she got so
excited about the news. Could you
tell me where I’m to start?”
I shook my head decidedly.
“No, indeed, I wouldn’t think of In
terfering with her plans. If I were
at home all the time it would bs" dif
ferent. But she is in charge here,
while I am gone—I am here now
only for two or three days—and 1
mustn’t say a woT-d.”
"Belng^a wise lady with a due re
gard for the position of your head, on
your shoulders!" Katherine chuckled,
and I realized that the last of her
rancor against my mother-in-law was
being dissipated in these caustic lit
tle comments.
“Exactly ’ I returned, and then we
sat in the desultory chatter with
which people fill up time, until my
mother-in-law came in, palpably much
pleased with herself.
“Well, he isn't around these prem
ises!" she announced triumphantly. “I
took Jim with me, and we searched
every cranny of the barn and every
other building on the place. Jim’s
harring all the doors everywhere now
—he carl carry the keys with him,
and unlock them when he takes the
animals In and out—and then he's
going over all the fastenings of the
house.”
