“Do You Know, Mrs. Madge, You’re
Rather a Brick?"
Alfred Durkee shot a quizzical look
at me. ,
"I am prostrated in the dust with
contrition,’’ he said, smiling. "I had
forgotten that you were a super
shopper."
“Nothing of the kind," I retorted
a bit testily. ' I love to dawdle and
window-shop as well as anybody, but
today, as old Betty used to say, is
'something else again.’ I must get
things done in the quickest possible
time, and I can meet you in two hours
\easily. How about you? Can you
manage to get your business done
in that, time?"
I did not mean to have my ques
tion tinged with feminine malice, but
Alfred took up the gage promptly.
“Less than that, I’m sure," he said
with apparent carelessness, but I
guessed that lie would get through
with his particular commission on
time or break his neck in the attempt
—I have not been married to Dicky
for years without getting a few side
lights upon masculine mental pro
cesses.
“Then suppose we meet"—I broke
off abruptly with the remembrance
i of the dilemma of the driver, and ex
I plained to Alfred in a few swift, low
words the danger in which the driver
stood from recognition by a man
whom his government work had made
a deadly personal enemy. Alfred
looked thoughtful, and then put a
question.
"In how many stores are you go
ing to shop?” m
"Only one," I returned promptly,
"that outfitting shop for children on
the avenue. I can get everything I
wish right there.”
"Then I have It!” he ejaculated.
“Brooklyn!”
I looked at him amazed, and with
an amused little laugh, he explained:
‘■■We'll all meet In Brooklyn," he
said. "How about it?” He touched
the driver on the shoulder. “Under
the circumstances, wouldn’t you
rather pick us up In Brooklyn?”
* The driver turned around, relief
upon his face.
“You're sure it will be all right
for you, ma'am?" he queried.
“Absolutely,” I aflirmed, although 1
was a bit In doubt as to the practica
bility of Alfred's scheme.
“Then that will be. the best thing,'’
the youth responded. “I’d thought
of It, but didn’t like to spring it. I
suppose you’ll be coming over on the
subway, of course.”
“Naturally," Alfred rejoined.
“Then”—ona could almoat see him
laying out our routa In hla brain—
“take this branch and get off at this
station”—he named a comer a long
way out. “I’ll ba waiting thsra un
laas I’m croaked or in the hospital,
an hour and a half from now. You’ll
be that long, won’t you?”
“Two hours,” Alfred answered.
“Then, If I’m not there when you
come you’ll have to get on back to
Flushing without waiting for me,
for I won’t be anywhere. But that’s
only a million to one shot. You'll
see me waiting at the church when
you get there, and I’ll drive to Ja
maica and then across to Flushing.
It won't take much longer, and It
will be lota safer.”
“So he It,” Alfred said with a re
assuring smile to the man. “Drive

Little Children Need More Care,
Says P. T. A. Head
v _ __t
—Dewell photo,
Mrs. A. II. Reeve.
"The most neglected child in the
world today is the preschool child,
between the ages of 2 and 5," charged
Mrs. A. H. Reeve of Philadelphia, na
tional president of the Parent-Teacher
association and editor of the Child
Welfare Magazine, in speaking before
tf. Parent-Teacher leaders at the
Pnrge^s-Nash tea room yesterday
noon. Mrs. Reeve explained the ex
tension of Parent-Teacher work
through the formation of preschool
circles, at which the parents of little
children studied how go prepare them
physically, mentally, emotionally and
morally for school.
“American children ought to have
fathers," declared Mrs. Reeve. "They
are not half orphans. Both sides of
the family are needed to bring up
children correctly. It does no good
for the mother to fly around to lec
tures, classes and mothers' meetings
getting her head filled with new ideas,
if she cannot persuade her husband
to take an intelligent interest tn the
rearing of his children."
Work in which the National Parent
Teacher association interests itself in
cludes improvement of motion pic
tures, physical education, home edu
cation, home economics, kindergarten
extension and religious education, said
ine to the nearest subway station.”
"You let me off there, too," I said,
and I knew that I had made a wise
decision by the relief which flared
into the eyes of the driver, though
he protested conscientiously,
"Are you sure it will be all right
with Mrs. Bird?"
“Of course," 1 returned. "I can
get a taxi right at the station I get
off, and really make better time than
I could going from here with you.” *
"That’s right,” he agreed,' and
turned his car around in the direc
tion of the subway station we
wished. We were almost there when
Alfred voiced a dismayed protest.
"But your bundles, Madge!" fte
exclaimed. "I hadn't thought of
them. You'll he weighed down like
a delivery wagon.”

Summer courses in the organiza

work are now offered to joint classes
of parents and teachers at Columbia.
Georgia and Oregon universities. In
addition, short courses are offered at
Minnnesota, Michigan, Missouri, Ten

A second guest of honor at the,
luncheon was Mrs. G. H. Wentz. Lin-!
coin, president of the Nebraska ,
Parent-Teacher association.'' A group,
of Council Bluffs women were present,'
headed by Mrs. C. F. Kimball.
Mrs. Reeve and Mrs. Wentz spent
the afternoon in Council Bluffs and
were the guests of Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Tukey at dinner In the latters'
home. They-addressed members and
friends of the Parent-Teacher associa
tion at Dundee school last night. To
day they leave for Lincoln, where
Mrs. Reeve will be honor guest at a
reception at the governor's mansion
and will address the state teachers'
convention.
Mrs. Reeve is the mother of three
children nnd grandmother of two.
I hadn't thought of them, either,
and the prospect of traveling In the
crowded subway, with my arms full
of boxes, was anything but pleas
urable, but I laughed lightly at Al
fred's look.
‘ I’m a fairly able-bodied young
woman,” I said. "And really"—I
drawled my words affectedly—“all
my sets are out of town. I don t
believe I'll lose a bit of social pres
tige even if I add a market basket to
the load.”
Alfred looked at me oddly.
"No, I don't believe you will," he
said slowly, and then with a quick
brotherly pat on my shoulder, he
added, in a tone that made me flush
with gratified pleasure.
"Do you know, Mrs. Madge, you're
rather a brick?1’_

BEWARE THE
COUGH OR GOLD
THAT HAH6S ON
Chronic coughs and persistent colds
lead to serious lung trouble. You can
stop them now with Creomulsion. an
emulsified creosote that is pleasant to
take. Creomulsion is a new medical
discovery with twofold action; It
soothes and heals the inflamed mem
branes and kills the germ.
Of all known drugs, creosote is rec
ognized by the medical fraternity as
the greatest healing agency for the
treatment of chronic coughs and colds
and other forms of throat and lung
troubles. Creomulsion contains, in
addition to creosote, other healing ele
ments which soqthe and heal the in
flamed membranes and stop the irri
tation and inflammation, while the
creosote goes on to the stomach, is
absorbed into the blood, attacks the
seat of the trouble and destroys the
germs that lead to consumption.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac
tory in the treatment of chronic
coughs rfnd colds, bronchial asthma,
catarrhal bronchitis and other forms j
of throat and lung diseases, and is I
excellent for building up the system j
after colds or the flu. Money re [

ter of bow long standing. Is not re

tions. Ask your druggist. Creomul

Do Your Retail Shopping in
\
Products of
Nebraska Have a
Never Ending Market
A delegate from an eastern in
dustrial city, attending a na
tional convention last month,
said to an officer of the Omaha
Real Estate Board:
“You folks in Nebraska are the
luckiest in America. With your
diversified farming you have
good crops every year and gen
erally they are all good.
“Furthermore, there’s always a
market for everything you pro
duce, because you produce food
products.”
One of Chicago’s richest men, a.i
owner of exclusive retail store
property there, said in a public
meeting in Omaha a few days
ago:
“A visitor asked me if he could
get up-to-date men’s wearing ap
parel in Omaha.
“I replied to him, ‘You can get
the same things in Omaha that
you get on Michigan boulevard
in Chicago, on Fifth avenue in
New York or on the Rue de la
Paix in Paris.’
“I said the only difference is that
the price in Omaha is not so high.
“I told him the same condition is
true about anything else bought
in a retail store—women’s and
children’s articles, as well as gen
eral merchandise.”
•
This Chicago property owner
told a big truth.
Citizens of Omaha have retail
shopping facilities that complete
ly satisfy every want of any man,
woman or child.
These facilities are being used
not only by Omahans, but by
residents of the vast and rich
agricultural section of which
Omaha is the center.
A strong and up-to-date retail
district is unquestionable proof
of a prosperous and growing city.
In Omaha this proof exists in a
superlative degree.
Advantages offered by Omaha to retail shoppers is
shown by the fact that Omaha’s retail business last year
totaled approximately $150,000,000, or $500,000 per day.
These advantages are also shown by the fact that chain
store owners all want branches in Omaha. These men
want locations only in good retail centers, not poor ones.
They want the crowds that good retail stores, such as
those in Omaha, will bring to them.
