Wins Prizes at Costume Party.
Lttle Gertrude Kountze, daugluei
ot ilr. and Mrs. Luther Kouiitie, in
ati animal dress direct . from the
Vogue shop in New York City, won
one of the prizes in the George Wash
ington day costume party which Miss
Mary Call gave for the memhers of
her dancing classes at keep's yester
day afternoon. Zebras, liens, tigers,
elephants, humble burrows and tigers
hung from straps of ribbon over the
little satin dress, just like on a merry-go-round.
A coolie hat on her head
was topped with a little American
flag.
Miss Klinot Kountze, daughter of
Mr.and Mrs. Charles T. Kountze,
came as the colonial girl of 1847 in a
costume made from one of her
mamma's handsome party dresses. It
had puffs and panniers and flowers
all over it. On her head she wore
a bonnet trimmed with flowers and
ostrich tips. In her hand she car
ried a tiny old-fashioned sun shade.
Master William Hoagland as Robin
Hood was one of the cleverest fig
ures of the party. Jane Stewart was
Red Riding Hood. Little Margaret
Miotwell made the cunmugest 1-oily
with points and bells on every point
of her dainty little frock, and a J tidy
doll with bells to carry.
Two George Washington?, John
Hoel and Raymond Bowen, won
prizes. Bernard Hannighen in a
white satin suit with long trousers,
embroidered with playing cards, was
another prize winner.
Mary Jane Lemere was the cutest
little Dutch girl from the top of her
head to the tip of her toes and her
little hands were held in just the same
position as the little Dutch girls one
sees in pictures.
Maxine Franklin as a ballet dancer
in tartan plaid, was another of the
pretty figures. The Spanish gypsy
was there masquerading as little Jose
phine Thomas. The note of the mo
ment was sounded by Miss Ellen Vir
ginia and Miss Betty Nash when thev
appeared as two perfectly proper and
trim Red Cross nurses.
Portmanteau Show Society Event.
Fortunately Lenten abstinence does
not go so far as to prevent the mem
hers and friends of the Omaha Drama
league from attending the perform
ance of Stuart Walker's Portmanteau
(heater at the Boyd this evening. The
number of supper parties which fol
low will no doubt be somewhat cur
tailed. The attendance of the 700
members of the Drama league would
alone assure the success of the pro
duction. All society is planning to
attend.

Style Suggestions
Swagger sticks as a spring acces
sory for sport costumes are in high
favor.
The peplum blouse is a dominant
note in fashion's proclamation for
spring.
Glass buttons with eav and colorful
norat decorations are seen on white
t rocks.
Linen suits and dresses are to be
trimmed with sport silks of washable
character.
Peplums on many dresses are vir
tually overskirts many of them
reaching to the knees.
Smart shoes for spring have leather
vamps and tops of sport silk to match
the sport suit or skirt.
A favorite color combination for.
separate blou6 is bisque and blue,
done in georgette crepe, with touches
of hand embroidery in either color.
Vest effects in spring suits con
tinue to be shown. These vests are
in a variety of material and give a
pleasing touch of color to dark-toned
suits.
Black and white checked worsted
is coming to (be fore for spring suits
and top coats, and as in former sea
sons, these smart fabrics will un
questionably be very fashionable.
Quite naturally, because of the
vogue of the separate skirt, belts and
girdles in a wide and pleasing variety
of patterns, colors and materials are
being accepted for spring wear.
The most unique pocket yet seen in
this season of pocket popularity is a
tiny one on the collar of a new blouse,
just big enough to contain a tiny col
ored handkerchief of sheer material
Draped skirts are rnminir tlnlu
ones, too. Tunic skirts, plaited skirts
also. In fact, almost every type of
skirt is here now. It is only a question
of which we will accept.
There is a possibility that military
cape models will be used as spring
models, especially for the more ma
ture women. Some of these suits
arc plain, but manv of thm
smartly trimmed with a touch of hand
embroidery on collar and cuffs.

TRUANT TRAPPERS
IN GRAMMAR SCHOOL
Three Boy Students at South
I Central Building' Probe the
! Reasons for "Hookie."
NOT MUCH LIKE OLD DAYS
By A. R. GRCH.
Morns McLaughlin, l.eo l-'ricii and
Allen Fiicksoit granted me an uner
view tlie other day.
I Who are Morris McLaughl'ii. Leo
; Fric' and Allen Erickson1 yn'i ask
1 Why, lliev're the juvenile truant of
ficers down ai the South Central
school. They are boys ot tht Eighth
grade w ho have Ivrn appointed by
Miss Frances Gross, the principal, to
go out alter children that don't ap
pear at school and bring them in.
At the beginning ot the year there
used to be four or tivc truants every
day. Now there are almost none.
"We know that if we slay out one
of those boys will come to our hnu-e .
and get us or lei! our parents we
didn't come to school." the clrWlren !
say.
Miss Gross called the three !; j
down to her office to see me. Attn
we got acquainted they related some
thrilliiU? experiences of their cam
paigu against truancy
Their Experiences.
'Once 1 went after a bo and I
found hini in an alley placing. ' -aid
Morris, earnestly. "And t told him
to come ,o school and he said he 1
did. i t want to. So I went to grab
hold of him and he hung on to a tree
and 1 started to pull him loose and
he commenced to cry. So I let him
go. But he came to school the next
day."
How's that for zeal in a good cause?
Leo, who wears a sweater, foot
ball shoes, long trousers and a pleas
ant grin, said he had eight on his list
one day.
"I went to one house once for a
little girl," he said. "But she said
she'd be late, but I told her she'd
better come anyway. So her sister
told her to come. But she began to
cry. Next day she came and she's
been coming ever since."
Allen is the only one of the young
officers who wears short pants. But
he i:s a good officer just the same.
"Once I went for a hoy ai.d he
wouldn't come to school." he related.
"So I told him he couldn't belong to
the basket hall team and he never
wou.u earn anytmng n ne aion t come
to school. He came then. I guess
he didn't want to lose out on the bas
ket ball team."
In Olden Days.
In the olden days it was boys of
tnis very age wno were always play
ing hookey" and giving their teachers
the most trouble.
It is a cunningly clever idea ot the
modern school to give them the re
sponsibility of seeing that others don't
do this. It helps the school and it
helps the boys. They are proud of
their duty.
"We do other things, too." said
Leo. "Sometimes we ring the bell in
the morning and then go out and see
if any children are coming and tell
them to hurry in before we ring the
tardy bell."
" es," said Morris, "and at inter
mission we play the victrola for the
children to march out by."
"And," added Allen, "we cleaned
off the school ground, too."
Miss Gross oeamed upon the boys.
"Very fine boys," I declared. "Most
remarkable boys,"
And the three young officers filed
out and tiptoed back to their room,
wearing the satisfied grins of men
who have useful work to do and do
it well.

Guild Marvels at
The Changes Three
Years Have Wrought
Peering out of the windows on the
Fa,.Afl(i.ili n( o,A lhrA,wi-Mn
, the World building was1 a slender
clean-cut man, with a sharp nose and
a quick nervous way about him.
He was looking over the new build
ings in Omaha, new since three years
ago when he was here last.
"There's the new Hlackstone,
there's the new First National, there's
the new Union Pacific bridge, and up
north there is the new viaduct," he
was saying to those about him, "anil
there arc new apartment houses and
business blocks springing up in evert
part of the city. There's the new
Ford assembling plant and I don'i
know whether I have found halt thr
new things around me yet. for Omaha
moves so fast in three years time."
This fellow looked strangely fa
miliar in the Commercial club room,
for that is where he was walking from
window to window marveling at the
growth of the city in three years.
He was John Main Guild, former
commissioner of the Commercial club
of Omaha, now commissioner of the
Greater Dayton association, Day

Mr. Guild was in Omaha last three
