A nearby September wedding which Interested many Omahans was that of ' Miss Martha Morton to Frederic Latner at Nebraska City. Miss Katherine Llneberg is among the first of this year’s September brides. Her marriage to Lieut. Harold Meyer will take place September 6.

Why Hally, I even slide his cuspidor over In the dl rectlon townrd which he nims! And I'm not the farthest down on the pay roll either. Strike the happy medium In your attitude, Sally, and you'll be the happier. JEANE. That's service, Jeanne! Your spirit Is commendable. You have touched on ons subject, however, about which I am ‘‘old-maidish,'' cuspidors!

Katherine whispered no word of warning to me to control my facial muscles. She knew that the clasp of her arms, the certainty that my face was shielded from any olher gaze than her own, the second of respite she had given me were sufficient to enable me to smooth out my rasped nerves. With a convulsive little answering clasp of her strong tender arms, I leleased myself from them, and with a calmness of face and voice for which I knew I should pay later, 1 turned to the group composed of Jun ior, Marlon and Mollle Fawcett. The girl had not yet risen from the kneeling posture she had assumed when she drew Junior Into her arms with her promise of a story. And my small son, though he obediently had taken the hand Marion had held out to him at Katherine's whispered command, to gather eggs for my breakfast, was looking back at her with a wistful, worried expression. "Doesn’t she have eggs for break fast, too?” he demanded, and there was such thwarted hospitality in his baby tones, that I found It compara tively easy to join In the laughter with which the others greeted his sally. "Of course. Junior,” I compelled my voice to a loving reassurance which ahould sound plausible to my listeners. "And you're going to get them for her." Then with the foolish Impulse for over atonement which Is so purely a feminine attribute, I added: "You’d love to get eggs for the pretty lady, wouldn’t you?" Junior’s Declaration.” I firmly believe that there Is a spiritual rapport between mother and child which Is shared by no one else, and I never had It more point edly brought to my notice than In my little lad's reaction to my ques tion. He twisted himself out of Marlon's grasp and ran to me. "I want to get eggs for both of you," he explained. “For you and the pretty lady. But I want to get most ror you, cause you i<- m.v mu> ver, and you're the prettiest lady In the whole world." lie punctuated his words with what Dicky has taught him to call a "hear hug,” which 1 returned rap turously. I was ashamed at the rapid manner In which my mental thermom eter climbed upward, and 1 tried to make my voice casual as I laughed and with a "thank you, Junior.” sent him on his belated errand. My apparent nonchalance may have been taken at par value by Mol lie Fawcett, Marion and Katie, but Katherine was In no whit deceived by it. I saw that by the look In her face, hut characteristically she made no comment either then or afterward, only seconded my efforts to make Mollie Fawcett feel at home In the environment of the,farmhouse, so ut terly foreign to anything she had ever known before. “Snake in the Grass.” We breakfasted royally on an om elette of new laid eggs gathered hy Junior an'i cooked hy Katie as the culinary triumph of the meal. “This is a most delicious omelette, Katie," I said to my faithful little maid as she brought me a pot of fresh coffee. “I never tasted anything so nice," Mollie Fawcett commented. To m.v surprise, Katie tossed her head with » look upon her face which I knew of old spelled displeasure. “Ket good enough," she snapped, and whisked but of the room. Mollie Fawcett evinced her Innate good breeding, by going on with her breakfast without a sign that she had heard Katie's rudeness, and I smothered my first Impulse to apolo gize for my little maid. It was better to let the Incident pass for the present, I thought, but at the first opportunity after breakfast, I sought the kitchen. "Why were you so rude at break fast, Katie?" I began, but my little maid evaded all issues by her time honored ruse of throwing her apron over her head, and breaking Into sobs, which, however, she Inter spersed with a few hysterical epi thets, like, "cat.” and "snake In the grass," which, I Judged, referred to my young guest. There Js nothing to do In Katie's tantrums save to leave her to he, self, and I promptly left the kitchen, catching a glimpse of Jim as I did ■o. He had been standing in the other rl.icr unnoticed by me, and he was regarding Katie with a mixture of loving admiration, amused tolerance and puzzled displeasure which has been his attitude toward her ever since their marriage. Displeasure was predominant, however, and I realized that some connubial lt« agreement had preceded Katie’s rude ness. But why had she centered her displeasure upon unoffending Mollis Fawcett, who had just come to the house? Pi Beta Phi to Give Bridge Tea Saturday. Pi Beta Phi will entertain at a rush party at Hotel Fontenelle on Sat urday. Tea will be served and tables set for bridge. * Mias Constance Platt Weds Earl Lowry.
