SX*? forpJtoJv A «v__ Omaha hostesses have welcomed the many charming visitors who have been the inspiration for numerous affairs this past week. Luncheons and bridge teas, however, are being abandoned these sultry days for the less formal morn ing bridges, picnic suppers and swimming parties. Last evening Mrs. Ed Busch entertained at a steak fry for her house guest, Miss Dorothy Evans of Davenport, la., and her sister-in-law, Mrs. T. R. Heyward of Pittsburgh, Pa., who, with her children, Tom and Robert, are spending the summer w'ith Mrs. Heyward’s mother, Mrs. R. B. Busch. This morning the party enjoyed an early .swim at Sandy Point. Miss Evans will motor home today accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Busch, who w ill visit in Davenport en route to the Min nesota lakes. Many informal affairs are being given for Miss Jose k phine Harris of Birmingham, Ala., who is spending several l^s^eks with Miss Marie Patterson. Miss Patterson will be hostess at bridge in honor of her guest later in the week. On Monday evening Mrs. Herbert French will give a buffet supper at her home in compliment to Miss Elizabeth Rogers of Rockport, Mass., who is visiting her uncle, Arthur Rogers, and Mrs. Rogers. Miss Louise Nebe of Atlantic, la., who visited Miss Genene Noble last week, was extensively entertained by members of the school set. Miss Nebe returned home Fri day. v; Will Pepper Potters Be Ak-Sar-Ben Maids? By GABBY DETAYBS. [LiLi the Pepper Potter* be Ak Sar-Ben prlncessess this year. I* the question Gabby hears everywhere. Each year younger and younger girls attend the queen on her triumphal march to the throne, and though they are all leaving for boarding school In the fall it Is within the bounds of probability that they will be tn at the crowning. The Pepper Pots include the Misses Jane Stewart, Elinor Kountze, Doro thy Higgins, Emma Nash, Margaret !>ee Burgesa, Margaret Wyman and Marcella Folda. There are many other attractive glrle who are distinctly eligible for lor of being a maid to her among them being Gertrude Kountze, Fredericka Nash, Virginia Barker, Elizabeth McDonald, Jose phine Schurman, Julia Caldwell, Cor nelia Baum, Betty Paxton, Katherine and Jjjllanore Baxter, Flora Marsh, Jean Palmer, Doris Talmage, Mar jorie Adair, Charlotte Smith, Virginia Cotton, Charlotte Denny, Dorothy Sherman, Daisy Rich, Mary Find ley, Irene Simpson, Ellen Peterson and Lenore Pratt. With the plans for the gaieties this yesr a sad note Is struck recalling the death of Arthur P. Gulou, in whose capable hands so many ar rangements were left. Announce ment Is made today that Willard D. Hosford will fill his place as chairman of the ball committee end will be as sisted by W. R. Wood and Jay D. foster. WHAT flsh stories are to the sterner sex, permanent wave records are to the weaker. Just like the fish, they flourish In summer, and In the water, and lt'a a poor story teller who can’t recall some friend who has had one "at least twice a year, my dear, for the past two years.” They are, like an operation, agree able conversation, where one can ex change the horrors of the hair-pulling experiences and the few terrible mo ments when strung up In the last mechanical stages one sees oneself KA one Is, ths rag and the bons, with out, alas, that little saving hank of hair. All of which Is f3*bby‘* roundabout way of leading up to the latest tale about our best known heiress. Her friends tell us that her golden hair has stood the Iron test and come out ourly IS times. Of course the more practical of us will hav* a thrill or two about the upkeep: Cut what Is that to a girl who is reputed to have an allowance of a thousand a month. □O one, least of all Gabby, would be ao mean as to hint at any Impending event*. How ever «he leave* the following to you, dear reader. What do you think? And even If you don’t, do have a aly giggle with her at a well known and attractive husband In the Country club aet. He Is rich, but no furrow* mark his whit* brow. Thought* of fire, theft and sudden death hold no at tendant terrors for him for ha "has It Insured.” Quite content waa he in hla policies until he saw the pro gram of the Junior league revue where a local Arm facetiously offered to Insure against alimony and every thing. Thftugh there Isn’t more than a drop or two of English blood In him he couldn't pee the Joke and quite seriously called on ths head of the Arm to be guaranteed against a marital catastrophe. GA.BBT heard & gentleman be moaning hla daughter'* break ing away from the path of grace! He had been discussing rather heated ly then# "sweet young things’’ who hurry home st 3 a. m., refresh them selves with three hours’ sleep, srlse hastily In the morning to make a hurried toilet, and, hecause they elm ply haven't time to wash It off, put fresh rouge over last night’s coating. "I've worked all my life to keep.my daughter from doing It, and now Just as I get her educated up, she gradu ates from school and recelvea nothing else for gifts but vanities with one side for paint and th* othe* for powder. And of course being pres ents, she'll say she hss to use them." Gabby sympathises of course, but rails to mind an old saw shout "what Is to be will be." IT HAS come to Gabby's ear* In roundabout way that two very at tractive young daughters of a well known Omaha family are so very popular as to be sought by telephone calls night and day. They have In creased their popularity by tbelr participation In amateur musical shows given In Omaha In the last two years. Gabby understands that their father, In self defense, finally had a telephone put In his own room In ordtr to get a "word tn edgewise.” Regardless of Heat Flannel Dresses Are the Mode Each dimmer season aponsora at leaat one hot atyla. "Hot” In the matter of temperature, and alanglly speaking In the degree of attractive nesa. A few years sgo It was choker fura. then sweaters, and now flannel aport dresaea— some even with long sleeves. Tha makers originally lntonded them for golf, hut the only sport they're used at extensively Is bridge Miss Willow O'Brien Is wearing one of the most attractive, very simply made, In orrhld color, with tailored collara and culTa. Mrs. A. V. Bhotwell and Mrs. Victor Jeep also wear flannel —very smart models of tangerine shade. Hummer guesta almost always help set the styles. Three of them, former Omaha girls, have been seen during tho pH at week wearing flannel dressea at the clubs. Mrs. Bentley McCloud of Kenilworth, III , formerly Miss Florence Olmsted, wore an unusual frock of white flannel on Wednesday evening on tho Athletic club roof, li had red and white figured chiffon sleeves which matched her red hat and slippers. A second, Miss Madclyn Plerronet of Chicago, who Is visiting tho F. H. Hochstetllers, lunched at the Country club on Thursday In a three piece box suit of robins egg blue with a tiny henna stripe. With It Miss Plerronet carried a satiny gray lltlla swagger stick swinging smartly from her wrist by a gray leather thong. The third, Mre. Edward Ayerlgg, who was the guest of her mother, Mrs. R S. Hall, Inst week, wore an orchid flannel dress to a few of the Informal affairs given In her honor. Another gueet, Miss Anne Morton of Platte City, Mo., who Is visiting Mr. and Mrs. David Davis, has been wearing a white flannel straight line drees with a very tiny Mack stripe. Otnahans at Banff.

( Society Makes Tapestries for Chairs Interesting things to do In hot wrslher, things that require the minimum of action and yield the maxim um of Interest ars at a premium. When one has tired of golf, bridge pulls, or one's latest hook displeases, milady turns to tha good old-fashioned pastime that Involves "silling on u cushion to sew a fine Beam.” * Mldseason needlework Is turning for Us Inspiration to old tapestries and clever flngera are making and converting them Into chnlr hacks and scats for those gracious old wal nuts and mahoganies that have Just Igen unearthed from the attic. Miss Nan Murphy was ono of the flrat to tuks up this work. Khs has completed a snt for one chair and la starting on another. Hera Is worked on heavy acrlm and !■ eoltdly done 1n a half eroesstltch, "needle point" tapestry. Miss Margaret Haunt quickly followed her and Is working on a l-oiils XIII pattern, a dark flowered design done on rativni, in what she calls a sliding stitch. It will flt on a walnut chair when It Is completed and 1* Intended for the library of her home.

It la in a convention, allged flower design, about gh inches wide, and it edged with black satin. Manual Labors for School Set in Vacation When school closes In June there always arises the question either of summer camps or manual labor for the Omaha boys. And this year in spite of the well known fact tha: positions are scarce, most of Omaha s young men have found places Jn many and varied line* of work—most of them the plainest of ‘•Jobs.” Aft< *11 manual labor Is a splendid trai ing for fall athleft- * or strenuous lat* vacations. j Gilbert Swanson, Hugh Smith and Ben Cotton hane gone to Wyomir.c to Inspect railroad signals.
