v. T l THE BEE: OMAHA. THURSDAY, JUifil 5, 1917. Club Beaux May Return. Few of you know just how deso late the landscape has seemed at the Country club since the departure of the most eligible beaux to the offi cers' reserve training corps at Fort Snelling. For a time all the fair maid ens were obliged todance by them selves or depend for amusement upon the tender mercies of some of the handsome elderly bachelors. There were so few bachelors, however, and so many pretty girls that the situation was reallv serious. The arrival at Fort Omaha of .sev eral highly eligible young bachelors relieved the tension slightly, but even that was only a makeshift. Three pop ular young men in Drass buttons, (story-book soldiers always wear brass buttons) who were not able to leave their posts until late and could only stay until 11:30 proved only like a drop of water to a man dying of thirst on the desert. Now comes a welcome rumor, which so far lacks confirmation, that some of the former beaux of the Country club are to come back to Omaha soon. Recent travelers return ing from Fort Snelling say that they heard there hints that all the younger officers, men wider 23 years of age, are to be returned to their homes for the present. News of this sort brings a ray of . hope that Country club dances will no longer be confined to the elder married set, but that the young people who have frolicked there "so gaily in the past years will again have a turn before the sumntcr is over. Burdetle Kirkewdall, Warren Breckenridge and Lloyd Smith were some the names mentioned ia connec tion with the return f the pofittlar young men. At the Field Club. Mr. and Mrs. C. R.

King Ak May Stage Big Military Parade This Fall A big military parade is among the prospects for the Ak-Sar-Ben festivi ties this fall. The board of governors has been working on this for some time, though it is not yet definitely decided upon. It is thought that' by that time so many troops will be in camp and in training in and around Omaha, at Fort Omaha and at Fort Crook that it would be very little trouble to get the requisite number of infantry, machine gun platoons, artillery division, and posr siuly cavalry regiments to make a wonderful spectacle in the way of a J--.!' I.i I- V davlicht parade. Everywhere the governors of Ak Sar-Ben are hearing the remark that the historical parade of last year was the finest daylight parade ever put on in the twenty odd years of Ak-Sar- Bcn's existence, Now the question is, what to do this year to equal the bril liance of the pace that has been set. It is thought that nothing would be more appropriate this year than a military parade, espeeiaily since Ne braska troops would figure largely among those readily available for suth a parade. The nature of the electrical parade for the night spectacle accompanying the grand entry ot tne king, has not vet been definitely decided upon, or at least has not been announced pub licly. .

She lias tried repeatedly to find a position as a domestic in the city, but has been handicapped because of her little 10-year-old daughter, with whom she will not part. Finally, on the point of despair be cause of her rapidly diminishing funds and the continued high cost of liv ing, she applied to the Board of Pub lic Welfare, where she asked Mrs. Rose Ohaus for assistance. "In these days when a good maid is at a premium and housewives are cry ing for efficient and trustworthy help, it seems almost incredible that a wo man of refinement who has made home-making her lifelong profession should be in such a plight," said Mrs. Ohaus. N '"The woman is proud and does not wish to give her name. Her character is unimpeachable and she is all that could be desired for a good house keeper and cook. She cannot do other kind of work because of lack of education." Thewoman prefers a place in the country or small town, as she thinks she would be more likely to be able to keep her little girl with her. Any of The Bee housewives who are interested in helping this little woman may apply at The Bee office or at the Welfare board, care of Mrs. Rose Ohaus, for further information.

Bright and early yesterday they arrived n Omaha, coming oyer in an auto mobile, making tne arive oi nuy nines in less than three hours. To their friends at home William and Mary asserted that the trip to Omaha was that they might see the automobile races, but as a matter of fact, these races to them were a mat ter of secondary consideration. Really they came to Omaha for the purpose of getting married. They slipped up on this, however, and when they re turn home tliey will be enjoying the same single blessedness that has been theirs all their lives. However, they will be able to tell their friends all about the auto races. While William and Mary no doubt have found much enjoyment in watch ing the speed demons circle the speed way, they are grieved over the fact that they are unable to return to Touhy as man and wife. This in ability all comes about by reason that banded in red velvet and a brim of red chiffon, from which dangle luscious-looking California cherries.

Wil liam confided to the janitor the prin cipal thing that brought him to Omaha. That dignitary smiled, sigh ed and then remarked: "voung man, nothing doing today. Dun't you know this is the birthday of cur country and don't you know that the license clerk, the county judge and all the members of the force of the marriage bureau are at home, or are out enjoying the holiday? Don't you know that the license book is locked in the vault and that the com bination of the lock to the vault has been lost and can't be found until to morrow morning? "No, sir, and while I'm sorry for you, there is nothing doing until to morrow." The young man and woman ac cepted the situation, went down the street, bought some peanuts, ate them and then went out to the races, some what sadder than when they, came to Omaha.
