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.

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. .

Mother With, Little Girl
Seeks Place in Country
Here is an opportunity for some
overworked farmer's wife to obtain
an expert housekeeper and incident
ally help a good mother who is with
out friends and funds in our large
city. 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.

William Raish and Mary Norton,
when at home live out near Touhy,
in Saunders county, this state. 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

Wed, but They
National Holiday
they decided to wed among strangers
and that they picked the wrong day,
a national holiday, for the event. ,
When William and Mary reached
the court house, bent on securing a
license to wed, they were confronted
by the janitor of the building. 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. However, they had the sat
