PERHAPS* Omaha is to have an other military wedding. This one has the additional interest n long wilh the crossed swords for the bridal aisleway, and the military crests on the silver of Staving an Omaha girl as the bride. Omaha is certain to have this treat if there's j.nr truth in the theory that absence ^ooes make the heart grow fonder. Two weeks ago our hero was or dered away to fight the good fight in Iowa. Gabby is veiy poor at descriptions, the "sparkling brown eye" line being practically worn to death, but she wonders if the simple statement that she has a brunet thatch and he a blond one would be i.ny means of Identification. —a MOTHER army romance. The conditions In this one are slight J ly askew, but the more Interest ing for the lady it is, who has been t lie enlisted "party." She is fighting her good fight, as Ring Lardner would nave it, "for the sake of a prominent character in the Bible." It involves the scion of one of Oma ha's first families in its tolls. „ Really it’s the most picturesque af fair of the year, for the beating of tambourines by flicking lights at the old rendezvous at Sixteenth and Ilouglas, vies with the suffle of^satin slippers, and the shivering of slender shoulders, In the glittering footlights of a famous New York theater. On his side, there Is as great an < i'fuigence, this cast by an ancestry of Boston aristocracy and a large middle western fortune. A patient was taken to one of our Mate hospitals for those suffering from mental disorder. “What's the matter with me.” slie asked a nurse shortly after he arrival. "You are suffering from chronic indecision.” was tho reply. AOROL’P of Smith college gradu ates In Omaha are highly dis pleased with the comment made In a local paper that President Ooolldge has red hair. "If lie has,” said one of them, "he has been using henna. When I last saw him, the night he returned to Northampton, Mass., following his nomination to the vice presidency, lie had light brown hair and his freckles were f^r from noticeable." Miss Marion Booth and Miss Dorothy Dahlman were both surprised when, on seeing him in the movies here, they saw how promi nently these last blemishes stood out. "We passed him any number of times on the streets.” they said, “and only hia barber would have seen them; we couldn't. They must have been the fault of the photographer." Miss Onalee Mann Is another who saw the president often in his vice presidential days and she. too, resents the implication that he had any other than brown hair. •'Of course he hasn't red hair. 1 watched him all during the last Wash ington's birthday exercises he attend ed, as he sat on the platform at chapel. He was interesting for his impassivity.” The famous night when he did re turn to "Hamp” Miss Booth was in the front line of those waiting to see him arrive at the Draper, a local hotel, where the reception committee was stationed. "He was most impressive,” she said. ‘‘He looked to be even taller than he is, for he has a most erect carriage and of course was wearing a silk hat. "The whole of the little town and the college had turned out to see him. 1 The front of the hotel, which is an affair built after the continental style, with grill work balconies across the facade on all four floors, was be flagged and be-buntinged for the event, and for an hour before the fife and drum corps had been tooting and rat a-tat-tatting through the streets. When he was finally driven up in the McCallum limousine, the car made Us way through an aisle way of friendly people, whose faces shone in the fitful glare of old-fash ioned red torches. "We were wildly excited and tears stood In the eyes of many of the townspeople who had watched Ills rise in the world since his Amherst days."
