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

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.”

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

Beam.” *
