Bulletins on Romance
oa OME time ago, Gabby confided In
^ her readers of the Interest
Omaha's most eligible widower
has evidenced In one of the city’s
jew, and exceedingly* attractive busl
iess women who had earned a repu
:at!on for her products In a city north
jf us before coming here. -
The latest bulletin Is that Interest
femtlnues, and Gabby Is pn the
iul vlve herself anticipating possible
developments.
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.

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.

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.

FAMILY miniatures, long the mark
of aristocracy, have came hack
Into fashion. They are modern

Ivory, using In its place porcelain on
which the photograph Is taken and
tinted, preserved under watch crystal.
Frames of wrought gold and leath

are used.

of the first to sit for these. Pressed

Burke Adams
Writes From
South Africa
Burke Adams, eon of Mr. and Mrs.
Frank L. Adame, who wai graduated
In June from Cornell university, has
had the unique experience of being a
feted guest In Johannesburg, Africa.
He lrf now In England and will re
turn to Omaha for a pre-holiday visit.
Mr. Adams has written of the social
gaieties, which include dances, teas,
tennis parties and football games. It
Is hard to believe he Is a iciest half
way across the world, sc^Satr.erlcan
are these diversions.
A description of a hunting trip, a
South African football game and a
descent Into a gold mine follows:
He writes, that after the start
Is made from Johannesburg "Our
road led up through Pretoria,
the capital, and thence to Potgletele
rust, a tiny town ISO miles from
Jo'burg, which we reached about 10,
and spent the night. The roads were
quite fair this far, only quite san4f
and dusty. We met the Englishman
on whose farm we were <going ta
shoot at Potgieties and went on with
him In the morning. It was only
about 75 miles further, but very slow
traveling, and several times we had .
to get out to push the car through
the sand. There are no bridges, of
course, and It was quite a Job to get
through some of the ‘drifts' or 'dips’
through the streams. One little river,
which the old Dutchmen had -named
the Xilestroora, because they though)
It was the source of the Xile, we bad
to cross 18 times. .
"We reached the camp site about
3:30 in the afternoon and set up the
tent over a trailer wnich made up lntc
three beds for the women, and we
had ordinary- folding camp cote with
little tent-like covers in which w#
slept out In the open.
"By evening we had a complete
camp, with kitchen and everything
going In full swing It is winter
down here, of course, now and the
nights are quite cold—about 40 de
grees. while during the days it gets
up to 80 or 85 in the shade, and much
warmer In the sun.
"We got up early the next morning
and went on a before breakfast hunt.
We saw two herds of buck and had
a shot at one. It le hard to describe
all the animals they have here. There
are the small buck, such as steen
buck, kllpepringecs and dyker. Then
there are some a Uttle larger, called
