This weekend finds them the guests >f her family and friends In the city jf her former residence. GABBY knows of an engagement that may soon be announced though the marriage it precedes will not be solemnized for a year. The announcement will 'unite the -tames of a young realtor who came here three years ago from the state jnlverslty where he had been a mem )er of Phi Delt^ Theta, to make his jome with a brother and his wife. , hast year, his sister who Is now a itudent In the university brought her roommate, a cunning brunette, to visit In Omaha on several occasions. The young realtor, who Is sn excel lent dancer, served as escort. A week or so ago he returned from a visit In 3t. Paul, Minn , where the young »oman lives, and confided In friends, Gabby understands, that he was the u<$y man. and that wedding bells vould clang In 12 months. -i> CUSTOMERS expect much of a rummage sale held by one of the most fashionable of the city hurches. Sort of on the ‘‘swell swill" principle. So much Is expected In fact that one enterprising buyer, at the First Presbyterian rummage eale held last Week, bargained for and purchased at a cost of $1.50 a handsome new fur trimmed fall wrap, which one of the best dressed matrons In the congregation had laid aside to serve as salesgirl. -4> MANY of the donations In these sales offer Interesting specu lations. Among other treas ures Gabby discovered a gas mask, jack from the war zone. Nice everyday little article that! -*, BEING deserted temporarily by one’s spouse Is net ths deplora ble stnte It was in former years. Nowadays it Is a slgsial for friends to rally round and entertain the lone knight or lady, providing at the same time ono particular consolatory part ner. Ht* general and accepted has the custom btijgme that a week ago Hatur day night at a large party at the Brandets. It was as difficult as any game to try to "match" upsany regu U4jpq cgupl*jf to froup. A Pnwnl nent visitor from Chicago was es corted by a man whose wife Is 111. A handsome bachelor had In tow the clever and entertaining wife of one of our wholesalers who was obliged to be away on business. A well known attorney was there but hie wife could not be discovered. And a bond dealer whose family have been on the coast this summer was "among those present," though his wife had not at that time returned to the city. Why not? Where better could a man spend hls time during his wife's absence than with a group of their mutual friends, some of them, per haps, similarly bereft. It Is rather u bitter reflection on human nature for society to Intimate that once one Is married he is undesirable as a person and a friend unless accompanied by his lawfully wedded partner. The new era calls for fewer conven tionalities and flnsr people. -ft FAMILY miniatures, long the mark of aristocracy, have came hack Into fashion.
