- y March 5
Easter-tide rivals the month of
roses when the lovely young bride
comes to choose the auspicious date,
and at least two smart weddings will
interest society at that time. Miss
Harriet Copley, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Copley, will be the first
of the springtime brides, for her wed
ding to Mr. Earl H. Burket will take
place at her home Wednesday,
March 21. , , i
While friends have known of the
young people's betrothal for a long
while, Miss Copley chose to with
hold public announcement of her
plans until just before the wedding,
ihe date for which was held, pending
the erection of the 'ovcly home for
the young pair in the Field club dis
trict. The home will be ready for
them when they return from their
honeymoon in California. Miss Cop
ley is a Brownell Hall girl and en
joyed a delightful trip to Santo Do
mingo after her graduation. Mr. Bur
ket is a graduate of Colgate univer
sity at Hamilton, N. Y.
Miss Mabel Allen will attend Miss
Copley as maid of honor and Miss
Helen Smith as bridesmaid. Mr. Her
bert Smails will be best man and the
ribbons will be stretched, not by girl
friends, but by two friends of the
bridegroom, Mr. Archibald Laurance
and Mr. Walter Byrne.
Another wedding of interest is that
of Miss Ruth Gould, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. R. H. Gould, whose mar
riage to Mr. Warren Howard -will
take place at the Good Shepherd
church the day after Easter, Monday,
April 9. The bride's sister. Miss
Katherine Gould, will be her only at
tendant. '

Burkley and Mr. Lawrence Brinker's
wedding will take place, the ceremony
to be solemnized at the home of the
bride's father, Mr. Frank Burkley.
Thouzh no dates have been set, the
marriage of Miss Stella Thummel
and Mr. Fred W. Clarke, jr., will take
place in the summer, and that of Miss

Vnr Drama Leatrue President,
Sweet peas, in pink and lavender
profusion, conveyed a breath of
spring to members of the Drama
league and Fine Arts society, who
honored Miss Kate A. McHugh with
a luncheon at the Hotel Fontenelle.
The affair was also to celebrate the
great success of both organizations'
undertaking recently, bringing the
Portmanteau theater to Omaha, which
venture netted the society $J0O. In
token of this, t!e place cards, done by
Mrs. Lowrie Childs, were water color
sketches of a portmanteau with quo
tations from Lord Dunsany, and tied
with Dunsaiw green ribbon.1 One of
Lord Dunsany'a plays was included
in the Portmanteau theater's reper
toire. ,

SUMMER IS EARLY

Rubber, Bananas, Oranges and

Alligators' Swimming Pool.
NUISANCE' PET PORCUPINE
By A. R. CROH.
It is tropical summer out in the
city greenhouse in nanscom par.
(What do you, think of that expres
sion, "out in"?)
The warm, moist smell of ground
and growing plants is there and the
tinkle of flowing water. You can
hear the chattering of a monkey now
and then or the call of a duck or the
'little splash as an alligator drops into
the pool.
A jungle of tall palms and ferns
raises itself in one room. Three rub
ber plants, five banana trees and an
orange tree are thriving. Two lemon
trees are in full bloom. One of these
produced thirty-two lemons last year.
That didn't unbalance the lemon mar
ket, but it was rather a proud achieve
ment in Omaha-grown lemons.
In one corner of the tropical jun
gle is a pond surrounded' by gravel
banks. Here fifteen alligators, large
and small, swim and crawl and lie at
lazy ease.
In another corner is a wire-cov-
rreA box in which the municipal por-
cunine is soending the winter. His
name, the hothouse man assures me,
is "Nuisance- Nuisance carefully
investigates a lead pencil with his
brown teeth. The hothouse man
blows up his fur to show the quills
underneath. These, he asserts, arc
used in the arts of peace as well as
in the science of self-defense.
"He rushes out of his hole," he
says, "and rolls over apples, that may
be lying under a tree and then rushes
into his hole, where he can pull the
apples off the quills and cat them at
his leisure. (Loionci Koosevcu,
please take notice.)
In a spacious cage Jocko, the mon.
key, dwells during the cold weather.
Jocko evidently doesn't like our
looks. He chatters at us and makes
quick jumps at the wire, hoping to
scare us. Finding his bluff unavail
ing, he retires to his perch and makes
faces at us.
One day they put the porcupine into
the cage with Jocko. Jocko didn't
like this at all, but he was afraid to
attack the porcupine. There was an
empty box in the cage. Jocko
watched his chance till "Nuisance"
was in the right, position. Then he
tipped the box over on him and got
on top and jumped up and down,
chattering with all his might.
As we walk down the aisle of the
jungle room we meet five Mexican
ducks, parading along, single tile, en
route to the pond. They are so tame
that they hardly turn out for us. But
when 1 stoop down to touch the beau
tiful feathers of one of them the
whole quintet give a horrified screech
of outraged dignity. Then they pro
ceed solemnly on their way.
A little pup who has been following
us around also goes up in friendly
manner to one of the ducks. The duck
doesn't seem to mind him, but ob
jects to his breaking up the line and
gives him a little tweak with its bill.

Peculiar Facts
Abovt Treasures
Of the Earth
By GARRETT P. SERVISS.
"How do you account for the presence of
the minerals, such as gold, silver, Iron and
copper: also precious stones and mineral
oils, petroleum especially? 11. J. E
The existence of these things is no
more and no less mysterious than that
of common dirt, or of air or water.
They are all constituents of the earth
as we find it. Cut their distribution,
their mode of origin, and thear greater
or less abundance present many in
teresting questions, sonic of which, at
least, can be answered.
-Take the four metals that you men
tion gold, silver, copper, iron. Their
abundance is in inverse ratio to the
value that we set upon them, or, turn
ing the statement the other way
round, their value (to us), is in in
verse ratio to their abundance. If
gold were as plentiful as dirt, and iron
as rare as gold, then our curiosity
would be concentrated upon the iron,
while the gold would be taken as a
matter of. course. i
However, iron does not possess the
peculiar qualities which make gold
precious, and gold, on the other hand,
lacks the properties that make iron
useful, so that there' remains much
food for thought in the fact that rare
metals are precisely those whose
properties render them suitable only
for narrowly limited use, is in coin
age and jewelry, while the abundant
metals are those which.Nike copper
and iron, possess qualities of wide
spread importance in the every day
work of mankind.
Of course there is a human element
which enters into all of these judg
ments of value and of usefulness, but
that only shows the more clearly how
close is the adiustment ot our lite re
quirements to the properties and the
relative abundance of the inanimate
obiects around us.
The same thing is seen in the case
of precious stones. Those having the
greatest value are not merely the most
rare, or the most difficult to obtain,
but they possess peculiar properties
which greatly enhance the effect of
their rarity in giving them special
value. Nature might have made com
mon quartz as hard and as brilliant as
diamond, but that was not the way
things were ordered. Rare qualities
were bestowed upon rare things, and
these qualities are often such as
would have made the world less use
ful to man if they had been imparted
to the more abundant minerals.
The distribution of the precious
things of the earth is a profitable
subject of reflection. -Gold is found
in certain kinds of rocks, but by no
means in all rocks of those kinds.
It exists in many places in such
small quantities, or so widely diffused
in minute particles, that either it
would cost too much to recover it, or
it could not be recovered at all. Yet
in certain localities it has been col
lected, throueh various natural agen
cies and deposited in veins, reefs atid
nuggets, so rich and abundant that its
presence gives those localities a pres
tige which all tne worm wuiingiy ac
knowledges. . But the geologist can
not tell before hand whether a newly
discovered spot will or will not prove
