Bummer, ever popular for Its utter lack of
formality and unconventional laws of free
dom given to nil pleasure-seekers, Is be
ginning to he spoken of as though It were
already gone.
A few of those anxious to make plans for
the new season have returned from sum
mer trips, while many who have taken
country or mountain places are debating
JUHt now as to whether It shall be a late
lingering out of town or an early return
home. It Is a hard choice to make, too,
for no matter how cool and comfortable
one may be out of town, Omaha has Its
attractions and ever alluring places of
amusement. Then there Is the horse show,
which Is not so fur In the future but that
the beautiful gowns which distinguished
Omaha's smart set last year must be con
sidered and ordered for Just as brilliant a
display this season.
This Is the time of the year when
the breezy clubhouse porches are Ailed with
people who are merely going on from week
to week enjoying the things that happen
and are not the least surprised If nothing
at all happens. There is a lot to talk
about, at least people have a lot of time
which seems to loosen the tongue and
sharpen the Imagination. "Who do you
suppose will be the queen of Ak-Bar-Ben
this year?" "Who the most attractive de
butantes?" and various other like questions
are always under discussion. Humor also
travels rapidly these summer days. Within
the last few weeks she has carried the news
of several engagements about, and while
one or two are temporarily denied, there
are others which have some little certainty.

Bruising nearly forty Instruments.
I This happened In the Omaha switch
ing yards. The train backed Into
Idle cars and detached the pianos

designs In every particular.
being onVrod at prices which should
be a full hundred dulUrs more than
we now ask.
We have decided to offer extraor
dinarily eas terms on this lot of
pianos In addition to allowing the
amount paid us by the railroad, so
that It will be possible to pay for the
piano at a rental basis.
In these two cara were some high
grade, some medium grade and a few

Before the delightful events of this summer
have lecome mere memories there Is to he
one more Important event at least, the
dancing party given by Mr. and Mrs. J. H.
Butler st the Country club, Wednesday
evening. In honor of Mlse'Warfleld, who Is
Miss Natalie Merrlam's guest.
The much talked of middle west tennis
tournament opened Monday of this week.
The visiting players, many well known,
having played here last year, were greeted
with cordiality and enthusiasm. They have
been quite extensively entertained, adding
much to local gaiety and dispelling the
dormant attitude which has predominated
society for the past two weeks. What is
a tournament, in reality? An authority on
such subjects recently said that the term
Is quite frequently misapplied. Bvery time
a few people get together for an Informal
contest. It Is called a tournament. Now, In
reality, a tournament Is the most formal
sort of competitive affair and presupposes
many entries and different games, and a
gradual narrowing down of the contestants
to a few victors who are prlviledged to
enter the final combat. Three people are
sometimes known to be a crowd, but they
can't form a tournament.
Omaha Is great on fads. If It Isn't six
handed euchre, bridge whist or yachting. It
Is horseback riding, swimming or some
other like diversion which Is carried from
morning to afternoon, afternoon to evening.
There seems to be no limit. Just at pres
ent the automobile craze Is In vogue. The
stores declare that they can hardly keep
up with the demand for automobile dress
ing for women. Whether such dressing Is
becoming or not Is no longer regarded as
Important; It Is the thing, and that Is all
there Is to It. Consequence? Every other
woman Is buying goggles, caps, veils, King
Arthur gloves and roomy saffron wraps. It
Is even whispered that some of the shop
pers have never been closer to an automo
bile than the toot of the honk horn took
them. But that Is of little Importance.
They are keeping up with the fad. Concern
ing bridge whist. It seems to be a question
whether Its popularity is to reign as the
favored game this winter. There Is no
doubt but It will be hard to find a satis
fying substitute as the game has become
strongly entrenched In the affections of
womankind as a simple and most enjoyable
mode of entertaining. So from present
prospects It Is quite safe to predict that
this winter will find bridge still reigning
unchecked and unhampered.
The dinner list at the Country club last
evening was not particularly large, but It

These are questions that Frank Heller,
chairman of the public playgrounds com
mittee would like to have answered defi
nitely. His own experience with te grounds
established this summer at Twentieth and
Harney streets has Riven him a decided
opinion upon the first two questions. Un
willingly he replies to them In the affirma
tive. He says that the majority of the
youngsters who use the playground need a
leader or they stand Jn groups and lines
with open mouths and vacant eyes, watch
ing the children who have taken possession
of the swings or the revolving teeter-totter.
He has tried to reason out this Impression,
but It won't down.
Primal Instinct Dormant.
"We have been trying for some time to
get a young man of sufficient attainments
and the right temperament to Instruct the
children In games and to lead them. The
girls and boys seem unable to piny together
and get fun and enjoyment out of It as
popular thoughts of child life have It they
should. It seems that the simple old games
like tag and pullaway and prisoners' base
have lost their power to amuse. More In
trhrate and modern games like basket ball
are sealed books to the children unless they
have Instruction. The wooden bars are
about as useful to the youngsters as a
white elephant and not nearly so Interest
ing. "We have been trying for weeks to get a
young man to take up the work and get
these children interested In active games
long enough to forget themselves and what
they don't know. We want to break up
these quiet, gaping groups that seem abso
lutely devoid of esprit de corps. They
have no mobility or organization. They
won't try anything. It would seem, unless
they have a master going through the per
formance under their eyes.
"Our attempt to get an Instructor and
leader has failed. It was thought that a
young college man could be got for about
$10 a week, but we soon found that college
athletes would violate a rule of the colleges
concerning amateurism and forbidding the
acceptance of money not only for partici
pation In athletics, but coaching as well.
So far as I know every other available
source has been exhausted. An effort was
even made to get Truant Officer Pnrker for
the work, as he Is very popular with
children. Mr. Parker, however, has athletic
and swimming classes of his own and had
to decline.
Ijirk nf Instructor Felt.
"The fact that an Instructor has not been
provided has Impaired the free use of the
playground, although It Is a success and
many children use It regularly. Some of
them, of course, do not need the leader
ship and direction I have spoken of. But
most of them do. We have considered
Berlously the matter of advertising for a
suitable person, but we hesitated fearing
that many not suited to the work would
apply.
"We have found that children come to
the playground from all parts of the city.
It was Intended principally for the boys and
girls In the Third and Fourth wards, who
live In tenements, over store buildings, etc.,
who have no yards to play In. But we took
the names of children who come from as
far away as Fort Omaha and from the ex
treme south end of town."
Child students will find a fruitful field at
the playground. A man who was raised In
the country and spent his boyhood In a lit
tle town cannot understand the Inability of
a child to amuse himself In active games.
Perhaps the resources of a country child,
In this respect at least, are better developed
because of the conditions that exist. There
Is little or nothing to amuse except what
one creates. Then there Is swimming, skat
ing, fishing and hunting, all requiring a
fair degree of Individuality, thought and
courage. But In the city there are a hun
dred sights and scenes to engnge the at
tention of the most unimaginative urchin.
His powers of sight and hearing and his
mental Impressions are developed, hut he
feels less need of bodily activity. The re
sult Is he gets to be like a spectator at a
play, letting someone else do his acting
vicariously. This Is the way some of the
observers have thought the thing out.
But from Mr. Heller's statement there Is
no doubt hut that something Is wrong and
that the need of a remedy exists. e
