Not to Piper Strains, Bui to Solemn Chant of Rutes —Will They Be Ob served? By GABBY. HAMLIN town, after the Pte». Piper wound his musical and collective way through Its streets, taking the rollicking boys and girls after him, must have been like the Country Club is at present, with the Pepper Potters and their school boy friends absent at the house party being given by Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Folda for their daughter Mar cells, at Ephraim, Wis. The great difference is that after two weeks of yachting, swimming, boating and dancing, our young peo ple will return, and if Mr. and Mrr. Folda's plans carry, they will return safely, for instead of dancing off to • the sweet strains of a piper, they marched away soberly to the chant of safeguarding rules laid down by their host and hostess. Excited conversation before the house -party guests departed early this week, centered around the "rules" proposed. It is said they are to be rigidly observed during the outing. No smoking! No swimming unchaperoned! No individuals permitted to sepa rate themselves from the group. Lights out at 10 o'clock! These and other restrictions. They ought not be cause for remark con sidering the fact that most of the boys and girls in the party are in schools where such regulations are taken as a matter of course. But mothers at home are divided into two camps; those who think the rules will not be a real success and the others who arise quickly to the defense of their sons and daughters and say; “Of course they will observe with entire respect all the wishes of their host and hostess." Time will give the answer. THESE rules for traveling par tie* are not a new thing. This summer Gabby heard of a young affianced couple traveling In a private car through the eas’ who followed set rules, which regu lated the times they should be In one another's company to a uniformity with the houra they would normal!; spend together. Thu* though the; were In the comparatively small con fines of a single car, they had 4 en gagements” either for the mornins and evening, or for the afternoon The plan had been suggested by th-‘ two mothers-ln law to be. who r.atu rally wanted the house to run alone serenely and peacefully without tb< danger of becoming Irksome. It was found to be most successful. -*— GABBY told her readers recent!; of a young man In Omaha, pcs sessing a New Tork and Pans background, who on one occasion when hia private motor was not avail able. took a street car out to his Y\>gt Famam home. It was at the night rush hour and the car was crowded to the guards Remarking on his harrowing experience later he Is reported to have said: "I had n>_ Idea the beastly tram* w»re so popu lar ” One of Gabby's unknown readers refuses to take the young man s astonishment senouslv and writes a* follows In a vein, which we regret to say suggests disrespect for the sheltered and obviously refined youth Hear tiahhy: A word in regard to the authenticity of the young noble man who recently surprised at the patronage accorded our "trams" From the premise that the rent is a native of this region one may draw the following conclusions: I. His grandfather probaWy re ferred to grandmamma at “the woman.” i. They both run a sporting chance of having been Baptists or Methodists. 3. His father prohohlv was en caged in acme ignoniincus and prof itable form of barter. 4. His father probably thinks of Walt Whitman as a minor political (oanger of the 19th century. 5.
