Polo to Sweep
' the Country
Next Year
Omaha Leading the West in
Early Adoption of
Sport.
Sportsmen tell us that the
game of polo, long a prime
favorite in the east, is to
sweep the country next year.
Omaha has preceded other
parts of the west in adopting
the game enthusiastically this
fall. As proof, the camera has
caught these pictures of so
ciety folk, who are taking an
active interest, in the game.
The Misses Dorothy Cav
anaugh, Lillian Head, Cathe
rine Goss, and Winifred
Smith, were snapped at an
exciting moment last Sunday
when they were watching a
match from a vantage point
on Mr. Jack Squires’ car.
During the morning almost
100 cars stopped at the field
to see a chukker or two.
Among the spectators Miss
. Gsrtrude Stout and Ftank
1 Witwer of Cedar Rapids,
brother of Mrs. Henry Luber
ger of this city were seen as
they stopped after a morning
canter to watch the players.
Army teams visiting during Ak
Sar-Ben festivities gavs added • Im
petus to the rise of polo here, and
now civilian teams are being organ
ized. The credit is largely due Col.
• L!. C. Halstead of Fort Omaha who,
an expert himself, has been coaching
the military 'teams, and has kindly
rendered the same service to civilians.
The latter, with E. John Brandeis as
captain, are playing every Saturday
and Sunday.
Great promise with the mallet is
shown in the playing of some of tho
Omaha men, among them, Dr. Bay
H.vrne. Jack Squires, George Stocking,
K. John Brandeis, Stewart Summers,
and Dr. H. M. Fitzgibbons.
Girls are also taking up the sport,
among them those in the picture,
and the Mis3es Elizabeth and Corrtne
Elliott, Evelyn Cole, and Dorothy
Dahlman.

Environment
Influences ‘
Romance
Cupid’s Tracks Are Discovered
in Vicinity of Farnam and
Thirty-Third.
By GABBY DKTAYLES.
Environment affects us an.
But can It be that certain
apartments more than others
I incline their occupants to matrimony.
Maybe so, for there’s the Potter,
where Cupid's tracks have been dis
covered. The irresistible little god
seems to have hung around Thirty
third and Farnam considerably dur
ing the last few years.
Earl Gannett, whose marriage to
Miss Edith Gocke lakes place in New
York city next Wednesday, is the
most recent holder of this address to
have succumbed to the Invisible ar
rows. Upon his departure for the
east he gave up the tenancy which
he has held for several years and will
lie at home at the Birchwood upon
his return with his bride December I.
Two years ago Edward B. Wirt,
: then of the Potter, married Miss
Dorothy Griffith. They now reside
it the Tadousac.
An earlier wedding from this ro
mantic establishment was that of
Miss Helen Drummond to Mr. Part
ridge of Los Angeles.
Recent nuptials were solemnized
i here for Miss Jessie Rosen stock, who
married without changing her name,
her husband being Mr. David Rosen
stock.
Bari Connolly, then residing at the
Potter, was married a year ago last

SPEAKING of weddings and apart
ments. Gabby read an amusing
story of a marriage the other
day. With a few omissions and
changes in names, to 0001*081 identi
ties. the item ran about like this:
Mr and Mrs. A B. Smith of the
Kenwood apartments announce the
marriage of their dnughter, Louise,
to Clarence Jones, son of Mr and
Mrs. R C. Jones of the Warwick
apartments. The wedding took place
quietly a week ago at the home of
the bride's aunt, Mrs. L O. Brown
of the Traymore apartments. After
a short wedding trip Mr. and Mrs.
Jones will be at home at the Ling Jon
apartments.
IS IT really true. Gabby wonders,
that "Bunty pulls the strings'*
or are more than half the strings
to her interesting romance being
pulled by her Rodolph of the prescrip
tive talents. Re that angle of it as
it may, however. Gabby hears that
a young and charming teacher who
shepherds the very youngest set to
learning at a South Side school, is
dashing about constantly with a for
mer Creighton man now engaged in
the drug business They make what
is termed "a cunning couple" for
they are both short. She is fair,
and he has the dark hair and eyes
that go with the Irish of his nick
name.
