Novelists, put to it tor scenes of romance, have always fallen back with a sigh of relief on the good old tea table scene, where wom an, lovely woman, presiding under the soft glow of rose shaded lights, can husk softly the momentous question: "Tea or lernon?” at an always enrap tured male. Those days will soon be gone for ever, dabby predicts, when the world hears of the really convincing varia tion on the old theme furnished by a fraternity at the Nebraska Medical college, for If a woman's falsetto Is fatal, what will the casualties be when a tenor tremolo begins to query: "Will you have one or two sugars and a dash of cream?" The plan 1s to be given a fair trial by the Phi Rho Sigma fraternity, which Is planning a tea for Sunday next, when the guests will be the faculty, their wives and—we wonder— their daughters. Since only a few can play the part of tea dispensers, dabby wonders If they are having tryouts daily, com peting for the best tenor and bari tone voices, who can murmur the con ventional question as they slip the fair guests a cup of brew. This would be a simple way of ar ranging things, for those with a crack In their laugh or a squeak In their speech could be relegated to the kitch en to build sandwiches and arrange the cakes on trays for those more fortunately located at the tea table. Others, still worse vocally, could officiate In the orchestra (which will play during the affair), where they can tune In on Instruments Instead of their own faulty pipes. Since they are planning this and carrying It to completion, alone and unaided, Mrs. Irving Cutter, wife of the dean of the university, considered the Invitation extended to her by the fraternity to preside over the tea things a very great honor, Indeed. She will be assisted by Mrs. O. Alex ander Young. GOOD part of the newer books on etiquette Is given over to discussions on behaviour of persons after they are divorced, or separated. Rightly, dabby thinks, for sailing on matrimonial seas, rough though It Is reputed to he, Is as nothing to the voyagings of those who have crossed the shoals, Into the uncharted seas beyond, where as yet custom Is In the making. Chapters are devoted to remarriage, the form of the Invitation, what should be done with first husband's rings, and a hundred or so other points. However, Gabby hears that a promi nent young couple here are going to give the smug authors of these guides to social perfection, a poser to solve. Divorced a short time ago, they have been seen lately In each other’s company, apparently head over heels In the business of refalllng In love. Their friends say they will soon re marry, and wonder how they will do it. If they wait until after the 10-day license law goes Into effect In Iowa. How sad It would be should an un solved question of etiquette stand In their way. SPEAKING of books of etiquette la regard to weddings. Gabby wonders what chapter will deal with a groom who sprains his ankle juat before the ceremony, neceesltat Ing a trip to the altar on a cane. It opens - a maze of avenues of query. What does one do with the cane, when he Is clasping his fair bride’s hand as they are about to be made one? At that deliciously nsrvous mo ment when he must find the ring and slip It on the cold trembling hands of his little wife, what doss he do with his visible means of support? Shall he prop himself down the aisle during the return trip on the bride or will he be so happy he'll just naturally throw ths cane away with a glad whoop, and plod merrily away from the chancel on the Injured hoof. AH this and much more will Floyd Smith, who weds Miss Beatrice Bayne of New York on Wednesday, havs to dsclds, for this past week aa he himself admitted he stepped In a hols and sprained the offender. Nevertheleee, it len’t every rluy one gets ths brids he wants, so never a plan would he change, and he embarked laet evening on a cane (and ths train to make It correct), accompanied by hie mother and father, Mr. and Mre. Floyd Smith. He hopes for complete recovery ere the happy day, however. The ceremony will be solemnized April 23 at the Park Avenue Baptist church of New York. Robert Bhlv-, erlck of New York City, uncle of Mr. Smith, jr., will be beet man, and the ushers will be Wolcott Hooke.', John Plrie and Edgar l.e# of New York, and John Enaton of Mount Ver non, N. Y. Phi Rho Sigma to Give a Tea Phi Rho Hlgina fraternity of the University of Nebraska, college of medicine, will give a tea Sunday after noon, April 27, from 4:30 to 7 o'clock, for faculty members and their wives. Mrs. Irving C. Cutter, wife of the dean, will pour. She will be assisted by Mr*. G. Alexander Young. The fraternity orchestra will play. Violin and saxophone solos will be featured. Bridge Parties.
