Forgetful housewives of Omaha
who fall to cram their cupboards with
two days' rations Wednesday, will
find themselves and their families fac
ing an involuntary hunger strike un
til the grocers begin to groc and the
butchers begin to butch again Friday
. morning. And, as for grape-nuts and
The Omaha Ree milk and ice fund,
there's a reason.
Four hundred and fifty grocers will
have ceased ringing monetary chimes
on the old family cash register and
12" Omaha butchers will have stopped
tickling the timid spare rib with a
wicked cleaver, and having gathered
all their dependents and relatives into
the family gas-coach and sending
those who were not able to find room
on the running board ahead by the
Hamilton electric system, will have
■ make tracks for Lakeview park, there
to forget their charge accounts in one
hilarious day of fun at the Omaha
Grocers’ and Butchers' picnic.
Picnickers to Have Help.
If absence breeds longing, the gro
cers and butchers are going to find
themselves some of the most popular
men In Omaha, Friday morning. About
15.000 customers are expected - to
track t-helr delinquent food dis
tributors to their rendezvous and help
them celebrate the great occasion, for
Lakeview park will be the real food
center of this metropolis, Thursday.
ihogresslve Retail Grocers' asso
elation and the Omaha Retail Rutch
ers' association have joined forces to
make the event the largest in the
history of either organisation. Last
year, because of failure to agree on
plans for their picnic, the butchers
and grocers held their picnics sep
arately, but past experience has uni
fied the two organizations in attempt
ing the undertaking again this year.
Plans for the outing have been laid
along an entirely different line than
pirnies in past years. The picnic this
year is to be by the grocers and
butchers,, for the people.
Customers Outing.
"We want the putilic to feel It is
their pionie. given for them because
they are our customers," said J. J.
Cauieran, secretary of both grower
and butcher associations. "Our pur
. p ise is to show the public a good
time. Formerly, because of the finan
i ial state of our orgari ization, these
picnics were given to raise money;
this year there is absolutely no money
being made, while a lot of good cur
rency is being paid from the treasury
of our organization."
Mr. Cameran pointed out that it
has been customary to raffle off an
automobile Ten thousand tickets
generally were sold, but only one per
son out of the thousands that-Attend
ed the plenic received the prize. It
was the only prize offered, and such
raffles allowed a ticket holder but one
chance in 10,find. At the picnic
Thursday one person out of every 20
that attend will receive a useful prize.
"We hope." declared Mr. Cameran.
"to send 1,000 people away from that
picnic w.th worthwhile, valuable
gifts."
Anyone May Compete.
Anyone at the park may compete
for any of the prizes.
Fiva hundred baskets of groceries,
numbering 30 different sorts of staple
products, will be given away. Some
of the things that will go to make up

of crackers, 500 packages of break
fast food. 60 one-poppd cartons of
sausage and lesser ttuantities of
about 15 other minor staples. It

baskets to the park at one time.
Besides the baskets of edibles there
are 50 boxes of cigars, a 100-pound
sack of sugar, 100 one-pound boxes

SYNOPSIS.
Neale Crittenden, m typleal. red-blooded

business firm. Jeanne Amlgorenn la an
old French servant In the Allen faintly.
Marise applies herself diligently to the
study of music and French and wins a
rprlie In n musical contest. She Is much
nterested In Jenn-Plerre tinrnlee. a
French lair, who has Just returned from
two years’ study In Amerlen. She sees
him sitting on n bench across the street
from her window and /eels a strange
emotion os she drops off to steep. The
following day. while taking her music

Jenn-Plerre more than on her stndy.
While away visiting Marine's mother sera

"No one—no one at all?” asked
Marlae, and then with a gasp, "Not
even papa?”
At this Jeannes eyes leaped to a
hotter flame of Intensity.
"No! no! no!," they cried to Marlae.
"No!”
Marlae thought she understood, and
hanging her head she said in n low.
shamed voice, "Oh, no, of course, I
see.”
With the words and the acceptance
of their meaning which Jeanne's
passionate eyes thrust upon her,
Marise sank for many years into an
other plane of feeling and saw all the
world In another perspective, very
ugly and grim. That was the way
Jeanne saw things. With all her im
mature personality, with the pitiably
insufficient weapons of a little girl.
Marise had fought not to accept
Jeanne'S way of seeing things. That
had been the real cause of their quar
rels Rut now the weapons were
struck from her hands Jeanne had
been right all the time it seemed.
That was the way things really were.
Now she knew. With a long breath
she admitted her defeat.
"No, specially not papa,” she
whispered.

heard your maman was not well, and
I knew your papa was not here, and
I wasn’t sure that any of your
maman's friends might he able to
come to look out for you."
As a matter of fact, Marise never
saw one of her mother's callers again.
That evening,-Anna brought up a
blue telegram from papa, which since
it had been sent in Knglish, as papal
always insisted on doing, was perfect
ly unintelligible, reading:
"Com inga nmornlnjtraln ta kigo
adea rof -Maman."
PAPA.
Marise, who had with maman puz
led over many other similar telegrams
from papa, made out "morning
train" and that was enough.
An hour later, as they went down
the hall, on their way to the station
to meet the train, they saw the salon
as usunl at - that hour, the chairs
pushed about, the rugs hanging over
the window sills, the fresh, clean, new
morning sun streaming i n through
:he wide open windows on the familiar
spectacle of Isabelle on her knees, a
brush broom in her hand reaching
under the piano for dust. The ulcove
urtains were drawn back, the cheer
ful sunshine poured In. glittering on
the dark polished wood of the desk,
on the pellow-covered books, on the
pretty little Inlaid chair, which stood
beside the desk
They stood there In the smoky
iusk of the station, a long ray of
sunshine thick with golden motes
striking the ground at their feet.
They heard the train whistle
shrieking!}- In iff* distance, and the
somnolent porters roused themselvss.
Marise tightened her hold on the
strong fingers which held hers. Her
heart ached with longing, with con
fusion. Suppose pai-a did not come
, . what would she do? But
suppose he did wouldn't It
be impossible not to make mistakes,
not fo forget what you were to say
ind what you weren't?
But when the train came In, and
Marise saw at the o'her end of the
long platform her father's massive
tniflt tesayltr ••'-.'ending from a com
partment, and saw his eyes begin to
search the crowd for her face, all her
confusion melted away in a great
burst of relief . , Papa was
there, something of her vei-y eiwn in
the midst of all those strangers Her
heart almost broke with its release
from tension
III.
Then she ran with all the speed of
her long legs, and flung herself upon
Papas broud chest and tried to put
her arms around him, as she had
around Mile. Hasparren, and began
to cry on Papa’s great shoulder.
Her tears, her agitation, gave Papa
such a turn that he set his satchels
down hastily and, looking alarmed,
shook her a little and asked what had
happened to Maman.
In the hurry and noise and bustle
of the crowd it was easier than Ma
rlse had feared to get over that first
moment when Papa must be told. It
all came out straight, just what she
had planned to tell him, that nothing
had really happened to Maman; she
wasn’t sick or anything, only she had
had a terrible nervous shock—h Jl
seen somebody killed right before her
eyes, and it had pretty nearly driven
her wild.
"Oh!" said Papa, evidently relieved,
and caring as little as Marise had
about the* person who had been killed.
He picked up his satchels a Cain {by
this time the porters at the Bayonne
station were resigned to hlk strange
mania for carrying his own hand bag
gage), and said: "Well, yes, that’s too
bad! I remember I saw a brakeman
killed once, and It made me pretty
sick, too."
"When did it happen?” asked Papa
now, as they turned the corner and
were finally escaptal from the last of
the clamorous cab drivers, who had
not yet accepted, as the porters had,
the eccentricities of the American gen
tleman.
