“Three Times a Bridesmaid,
Never a Bride”
But Seven Times a Bridesmaid and a Bride She Will
Be—Ak-Sar-Ben Queen Holds Record as Attend
ant at the Larger Weddings.
By GABBY.
MAY wp hope for an announcement from the Queen of Ak SnrBen soon?
"Three times a bridesmaid, never a bride,” goes the old saying. Miss
Eleanor Burkley, reigning <iueen, fulfilled the first condition some time
ago, so Gabby has felt rather secure about her. despite numerous and ardent
admirers.
But Just the other day we learned the revised version of the old saying.
It confirms the "three times a bridesmaid, never a bride” but goes on to say
“unless you have served at seven weddings and fhpn you are sure to be a
bride."
So now* we are nervous again. With the announcement that Miss Head
has chosen Miss Burkley as her maid of honor, she will have been attendant
six weddings, and should Miss Dorothy Judson ask Miss Burkley to be
in her tyeddlng party when she marries Wallace Sheppard In the spring, and
it is nvore than probable she will, the magic seven will have l>een reached
What then?
Just as a guess, Gabby would suggest the name of one of our taller and
handsomer young men. whose attractive manner is backed up with the pres
tlge of a creditable record at one of the largest eastern universities.
Miss Burkley probably holds the record as attendant at outstanding wed
dings of the last few years. She accompanied to the altar Misses Elizabeth
Itlngwalt, Dorothy Kipllngcr, Helen Smith, Marinn Hamilton, Dorothy Belt,
add will attend Miss Vernelle Head In January and doubtless will be in the
wedding party of Miss Judson at a later date.
n WEDDING In New York!
Thwarted friends who received
cards to the wedding of Ger
trude Kountze and Ray Millard,
which they will be unable to attend,
adopt the sour grape consolatory
measure saying “a wedding away
from all your friends wouldn't bn
much fun.”
They will be surprised to IcHrn
1hnt Miss Kountze will be married
in New York with as grent an array
of well-known faces around her as
she would have In Omaha. A close
friend of the family declared to Gab
by Just the other day, that as many
invitations were Issued to New York
ers, as to Omnhans. The wide rami
fications of the Kountze family In
the east, and many school friendships
formed by both the bride and groom
lend a great scope to the list of those
interested.

YOU'LL all be surprised to hear
that another young medical man
has been caught In Cupid’s, or Is
It Stupid's net?
course you'll only be surprised
if you are able to guess who he Is.
Ry way of Identification tie It known
that he studied his medicinal arts
at the University of Nebraska
branch here, whpre he wn* a mem
ber of the Phi Rho fraternity, and
that he had what la known a* a way
(albeit a wary way) with the ladles.
Thla way he retnlned after getting
his diploma, nnd lias had a more

around. This week-end. however, he

Social Affairs Taboo for Week
of November 19
Great Rally Among Women Leaders to Support the
Community Chest Drive for $402,000.
The social slate will be wiped prac
tically clean of daytime events such
aa luncheons, afternoon bridge par
ties or teas during the week of No
vember 19 when the campaign Is on
to raise $402,000 for the support of
29 Omaha charities. Mrs. W. J.
Hynes, chairman, and Mr*. C. M. Wil
helm. vice chairman, ore urging the
women of Omaha to forego all day
time hocia 1 engagements to work for
the Community Chest. Neither of
these women nor any of their 22 ma
jors hna a single social engagement
during the daytime for that week
In fact, Mrli. Hynea and Mr*. Wil
helm have already been working on
such a schedule for a week and will
continue to do so for another two
weeks. Mrs. Jlynes hns a guest, Mis.
K. J. McVann of Washington. Her
friend* have taken entire responslbtl
ity for Mrs. McVann'a entertainment
arid she sees her hostess during the
day only by calling on /her at thi*
campaign headquarters, 1*24 Harney
street.
Mrs Hynes permitted herself one
social diversion last week. Hhe at
tended the Nebrnska-Notre lame
game at Lincoln Saturday. Mrs. Wil
helm will break her three week ached
ule Juat once. She will entertain the
Fortnightly Mualcnl club at her home
Tuesday.
"We should make this week one of
sacrifice and consecrate It to a com
mon cause,'’ declared Mrs. Hynca.
"latstlng good should come out of
thla drive aside from the financial
aid extended the various Institutions.
When It Is ended the citizens of Oma
ha will know more shout their charl
ties and they will be more personally
Interested in their support, for this
Is to be an educational as well ns it
money campaign."
Miss Marlon Towle, president of the
Junior league, heartily approves of
tho plan to forego daylight festivities
during campaign week. Hhe believes
that the hostess who does entertain
that week should pay for the prl
vllege, njtd suggests that both she
and her guesta make up a fund that
day and donate It to lha chad. She
also suggests that If bridge la played
that women penalize themselves by
giving the prtzo money to the cheat.
The league has agreed to forego so
ctal activities during the week.
Mlaa Towle further suggests that
next year the Community Cheat week
close with a charity ball. "I believe
a large sum of money could he real
izod for the chest that way. Also It
would compensate for a week of so
clal Inactivity."
Mrs. E. W. Nash believes all social
plans should be khandoned for that
w^Sk. "Unless the women as welt
ak the men work hard the money will
not be raised." said Mrs. Nash. "I
am deeply Interested In this Commu
nity Chest plan and am anxious to
see liow It works out. This will be
the tost of Its practicability. In other
cities they are very enthusliistlr about
the system. If we can raise the money
this way It will tie a splendid thing
Other well known women are out
spoken In their supi>ort of the Idea of
giving up luncheons and teas during
campaign week They expressed
themselves In n<> uncertain terms ns
follows:
Mrs. Conrad Toung "I heartily ap
prove of giving up all sorlal engage
menta during the daytime In cam
palgn week. I have favored the chest
plan right along It will eliminate
overlapping of charily work and the
need of drives every few weeks, it
must succeed "
Mr*. C. Oeorge: "There ehouh!
Ije no entertaining during the day
time while the Community Cheat
drive la on. Women ahould get out
and work. There will he plenty to
do."
Mlaa Eleanor Hurldey, queen of
Ak Bar lien. "We muet give up aortal
engagement* that week. It la the
only way the drive ran he pul over
I think the idea of the fVmnuioity
Cheat grow a more popular each (lav
aa people enderatnnd It The women
who will condtirt Ihe hnuae to hoitee
campaign ahould he highly commend
ad for thla will be Ihe moat diffi
cult thing to do."

will lw a week for work."
Mrs. F. A. Nash: "I think women
should f uego social affairs during
the day for that week. If they are
not working In the campaign, they
shipitld he st home to receive ths so
licitors and mske their work easier."
Mrs Henry Wyman: "I think there
Is a spiritual significance to this
drive as well Ns material one. We can
well afford for one week to give up
our plrasure and devote our time one
way or mother to Community Chest
work "
Mrs tiled Wharton approves Mi*

members have agreed to give up so
dal affairs that week," she declared
Mrs. T. I,. Pavia, who has been
In charge of work at the Day Nurs
