Army Romances Flourish
!n\olving a Gentleman in the Service of Uncle Sam and, in
Aother Affair, a Brown-Eyed Beauty of a More
Spiritual Aggregation.
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."
