Shy Omaha Husband Runs Gauntlet of Feminine Eyes
in Lingerie Shop to Purchase Wife's Birthday Gift
Ity A. It. OltOII.
Beit’s wife's birthilny Is January
31. H* deckled one day last week to
surprise her with some lingerie for
a present. They reside between Six

Ret poets ring the bravery of the
soldier, ttie fireman and the dare
devil. But give a look at plain Be“t,
modest husband, as be emerged on
UlO. floor of the big Sixteenth street
slore, given"'over to the mysterious
undergarments of the fair sex.
Bert had worked his resolution up
to the sticking point. But, in.spite
of his muttered “Shucks, this is noth
ing.” ho quailed as he found himself
In the midst of counters piled high
with filmy and beribboned silk things
and populated entirely by women.

He took several bold steps forward,
but felt at once the boring effect of
a thousand pairs of feminine eyes.
Ho wondered whether, perhaps, meu
weren’t allowed on this floor. Still,
the elevator man had let him off.
After walking rapidly down one
aisle and up another, he stopped be
fore a pile of dainty silken garments.
He would buy and have done with it.
"Hid you wish to see something?"
He looked wildly around and saw
a pretty young clerk coming toward
him. The faint smile on her car
mined lips seemed derisive and full
of suppressed amusement.
“No, Just I/ooking!*’, .
“No—no," stammered Bert, "I—I
was just looking.”
His ears burned with embarrass
meat as he bent it down the aisle
and out of sight. He made for a dis
tant counter, where lie felt compara
tively safe—and decent—among the
Mina Taylor dresses.
He wiped his feverish brow and re
fleeted on his recent shams.
"I was just looking!" How ridicu
lous that must have sounded! Doubt
less the clerk was telling the other
girls now s'nd they were trying to
get a glimpse of him.. H* thought he
heard peals of feminine laughter. Not
s. man was In sight. Bert saw the
stairs. He walked rapidly toward
them and hopped down, two at a
time.
Unassembles Force*.
He reassembled his forces on the
floor below. He felt sure the story
of his shame had not reached there.
JNow Bert Is no coward. As stated
before, he Is married. He reflected
and his Jaw took on a firmer set.

"Want to see some lingerie,” he
barked at a young girl in satin gown
end earrings, who was apparently
acting as a clerk.
••Tea, sir. What did you wish In
lingerie?" she twittered.
Poor Bert began to grow hot and
red again. Victory - wasn't so easy
after alt.
•'What Have You?”
"Why—what-have you?” he parried.
"Anything at all, a full line,” smiled
the young woman. t
"Her# are some lovely teddies,” she
continued, holding up a sunset pink
creation of crepe de chine.
Bert reddened and again had the
feeling that the entire store staff was
wattblng him.
“Or, here,” continued the fair girl,
taking a mystic garment from a
neighboring counter, "is a pretty prill
cess slip. Tou see It has a bodice
top, straight line, and 35-Inch hem.
It's shadow proof.”
"Wliaf’a Shadow Proof?”
"Shadow proof?” mumbled Bert.

material that doesn't allow the light
to east a shadow through."
"Oh, I sop,” said Bert, and 1m
mediately felt again he had said the
wrong thing.
"Would you like, perhaps, a robe
de nuit, a nightgown?" continued the
charming creature. licit followed
her, feeling he was hopelessly In
volved in scandal. She showed him
nightgowns of silk, georgette, crepe,
and hand embroidered Philippine, and
then Inquired sweetly, "Was it for
your wife?"
“tes, of Course!”
"Yes, of course, certainly it is. It's
a, birthday present.”
Bert w,is becoming voluble. The
princess smiled understandlngly.
"I know we'll find something,” she
caid kindly. "Is your wife stout or
slim?"
"She's just the right sire Bhe's
about your size." said Bert. ,and
hi ashed. The young w oman did not
seem .displeased.
"I know we won't have any trouble
at all,1’ She chirped, "ft's just n ques
tion of how much you care to apend.
Here are step ins and kick Ins, some
new garments they are wearing this

Victory Near.
r.prt remembered his own $5 night
gowns. T.ut he didn't hesitate with
the the victory almost won.
“Pick me out a nice nightgown and
a couple of tho.'-e teddies for $16.60.
1 think pink would be a nice color.”
“Pink is lovely, perfectly lovely,”
murmured the girl.
“And 1 11 take them along and I’ll
pay for them now,” said Hert. He
wiped hie brow among the house
dress counters while she wrapped
up the filmy garments. And with the
