A MILLIONAIRE widower has' been captured and a European 1 honeymoon looms. He's not an Omaha man but the town of hla resi , dence is only a very short distance] away, street car ride, in fact, and news travels fust, you know. Being a grandfather, one would ex pect hint to have reached the years of discre‘.i* n which ho evidently has. for the lady of hts heart's desire would l»e deemed by even a severe critic as a moot admirable choice. Her pianistle brilliance hnrdly outshines the sparkle of the ring she is wearing Yes. Gabby produces the ring as real evidence Candy and flowers would hardly he a sufficient basis for suspicion in this case for the hand some widower has for many years beer very generous with such favorA as these among a great many of the fair beauties of his city. GAKBT. being a woman with a not too accurate knowledge of1 men, thinks that ths greatest enigma life can hold for the social main Is "shall 1 or shan't I wear ntv dinner coal?" Possibly In some more sophisticated community no such burning quest lot. Is aroused by a mere invitation but here where men ate men. Kmlly Post, a name unknown to fame and what's wrong with this picture ' a genuine puttie, the hunting question becomes a conflagration. As bud as It is for tbe guests It Is ust so much worse for the hosts. However, flabby has heard of one a lever hostess who Inadvertently solved ihe latter s problem at some cost In energy however to the gentle man. As tbe fit si guests arrived at tin Inner tha other night, she explained prettily that her husband hud been delayed at the office "and would be a little late " toiler she flew- off upstairs leaving them to chat pleasantly unaware that (over their heads tragedv siil-vd Tragedy' for a man. who had just put the finish ng touches to the perfect dinner costume was being h.sjuiigly commanded back Into hts business clothes lx*' > ' “the ' first arrival* had come that way." Ten minutes elapsed a frantic tan minutes for the second story worker. A placid pleasant interval below*. Then the last guests arrived. Horror* upoa horrors. They were In full dinner re galia. A bna\» smile played about the l:p* if the hostess as she made them wel come and met a situation which had now- grown desperate. No such brave smile played about the lips of her spouse, as the nee a ™ was imparted to him. If anythin* played there it was a few strengthen ing oaths, as he re put the finishing touches to -n almost finished dres* shirt, and dinner Jacket. A solution. A hard one. but * soiu tion. you'll asree. i _a SEVERAL year* ago a boy of 15 starfled . the population •( Lin coln. his own home town, by presenting a dance program alone and unaided. He conceived hi* own dances, arranged the music, designed and made the costume*, borrowed an auditorium and gave a varied and successful program. That boy was Charles \Vetdman now ft years old, who appeared thia week at the Brandeis theater with the Penishawn dancer*. He ha* been yvlth them three years.
