"Is there ever a bride who is not 'lovely in her white satin gown,' or a gown that isn't 'beautiful,' or a hat that isn't a 'dream?'" asked the sport ing editor as he sauntered into our sanctum. "Are decorations for luncheons ever anything but a low mound' or We looked around to see what there was about a society editor's desk we could throw except the type writer which we value too highly. "Don't you ever get tired writing that stuff?" pursued the incorrigible s. e. Just now the exchange editor came across an excerpt from the Charlotte (Ky.) Chronicle. Now you know these Kentucky gentlemen are court ly men; much given to pretty speeches and delicately turned compliments. (We have one of them in The Bee art department.) But to continue about the excerpt, here it is, copied word for word, under the caption "The En thralled Society Editor": "The lovely and elegant home of that crown prince of hospitality, the big-hearted and noble-souled Ab Weaver, was a radiant scene of en chanting loveliness, for Cupid had fcrought one of his finest offerings to the court of Hymen, for the loveable Miss Maude, the beautiful daughter of Mr. Weaver and his refined and most excellent wife, who is a lady of rarest charms and sweetest graces, dedicated her life's ministry to Dr. James E. Hobgood, the brilliant and gifted and talented son of that ripe scholar and renowned educator, the learned Prof. Hobgood, the very able and successful president of the Ox ford Female college."

Puzzling legal complications have arisen in district court ,as a result of the killing of Earl Cunningham, 15-year-old South Side lad, by Con cetto Circo," 12 years old, , Italian, who stabbed his playmate to death last Saturday night following a boy-, hood quarrel. The youth, accompanied by '-his mother, Mrs. M. Circo, 121& Pierce street, wis arraigned befqre. - Judge Sears, sitting in juvenile court, this morning. The court room was packed with friends of the slain boy, who was buried Wednesday, and a large crowd of Italians interested in the lad who cut Cunningham to death with a pocket knife. Immediately after an interpreter had been sworn by Judge Sears and just as he had began questioning young Circo and his mother, counsel for the accused boy made a motion asking trial by jury. "The boy is charged with a crime for which he could be deprived of his liberty,'' said J. F. Moriarty, one of the young Italian's attorneys. "His mother and friends want him to be tried before a jury." Judge Sears sustained the motion, remanded Concetto to the temporary custody of Probation Officer Miller aTd ordered the. county attorney's of fice to file a complaint against the youth. In Criminal Court. County Attorney Maguey under the law must file a complaint charg ing first degree murder or manslaugh ter against young Circo. He will be tried before a jury in criminal court the same as any murderer. Lloyd Magney, son of County At torney Magney, is one of the attor neys retained by the Circo family. If the county attorney himself prose cutes the case against the Italian youth, father and son will face each other in one of the most unique crim inal cases in the history of Nebras kaa 12-year-old boy on trial on a charge of murder. The law also explicitly states that a person convicted of murder or man slaughter cannot be sent to the state industrial school at Kearney. The attaches are questioning what will be come of young Circo if he is convict ed of murder. Under the statues a per son under 16 years of age cannot be confined in the peniteniary or in jail. Cannot Go to Pen. Criminal lawyers and court house state of Nebraska may have to build a separate institution if the little Ital ian boy is found guilty by a jury of murder. Says Mistake is Made. 'The boy's folks and friends made a mistake when they asked for a jury trial," declared Probation Officer Miller. "That takes the case out of juvenile court and the unfortunate bov will have to stand trial in the big criminal court on a charge of mur der. It brands him as a criminal. "If they had let the juvenile court handle the case young Circo would have been sent to Kearney. If he be haved good in Kearney and made a good record the chances are he would be released after a year or so." Concetto will be confined in River view detention home until he is brought to trial.

Beauty as an Asset How Much Does It Really Count? Not a Great Deal, Unless You Have Charm and Brains to Make It Worth While. a little with your John Farra (r By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. TEAT pte,rrr THE BEST iinrnnmn sss fm "What chance have any of us with Mildred Hanson in the crowd?" asked Helen bitterly. "What chance have you? Just what do you mean by that, Helen?" "Well, how can we hope to get any attention or really, to matter to the boys when there's such a "gorgeous girl 'around as Mildred? You know she's perfectly wonderful-looking and Ralph fairly adores beauty." '."Maybe, dear, Ralph will still man age to prefer your looks to Mildred's in" spite of her beauty," I suggested. "Oh, he couldn't! I tell you she's the prettiest thing you ever saw." "Helen, are you foolish enough to think that beauty is everything? If some one introduced you to the hand somest man in the whole United States of America, would you prompt ly lose all interest in Ralph?" Helen laughed. "That's absurd." "Is it absurd? Just think of the handsomest man you ever saw in all your life and imagine that he was to be along m the house party and found flirted day?'' "1 didn't. I wouldn't." "All right, Helen, but men do and will and it doesn't mean a thing. And the woman whose sense of values is so slight that she imagines bread and meat and drink and the real necessi ties of life cease meaning anything to a man the moment he discovers a sun rise on a moonlit lake had better drive that man away from her in one quick burst of temper rather than keep him around to torture by means of her petty, jealous, irritable suspicions. "then you wouldn't be 'afraid of Mildred?" . "Afraid of her? Helen, dear, the woman who has brains and tact and common sense and a little charm and sweetness and coquetry mixed in can take a man away from a $10,000-a-week moving picture beauty if that lady has only her beauty wherewith to move audiences and men. Do you know, Helen, I've always had an idea that if Helen of Troy and Cleopatra had combined a little common sense with their good looks they might have had rather a nice time out of life." "You haven't much respect for beauty." "t)li, yes. it's a fine letter of intro himself interested in you. Would I duction and it's rather pleasing to the Ralph stock stay above oar in snite of that? Oh, don't shake your head so vigorously. How can you be sure? "Why, I am sure. It's been proven to me. I met John Farraday about a month ago and he's just fairly forced his acquaintance on me. I don't know what he thought of me, but there have been flowers and candy, and phone calls and all sorts of interest ing invitations. He's one of the hand somest men you ever saw and very clever, besides but he isn't Ralph. "Ralph and I have so much in com mon. We have things to talk about, we both like riding and sailing boats and we don't care a thing for golf or tennis. We both like walking and dancing and get bored on long motor trips. "He helps me in my work and I known enough about designing to be useful to him in his landscape garden ing. Why we're congenial. We're friends. "And there's something big and vital and electric between us two. Neither one of us has ever doubted for a moment that we will be married some day." "Oh, indeed, Miss Helen. But, of course, you're vastly superior to Ralph in loyalty and stability and good judgment and power to reckon with your own feelings and in de cency, too, for the matter of that." "1 am not. How can you say such a thing!" "Why you just told me so." "I told you so? Why, Miss Fairfax, truly I didn't do anything of the sort. Ralph's a bigger, finer, stronger, saner person than I am and I know it. That's part of my love for him." "Well, then, Helen dear, don't be little that love. John Farraday's pic torial good looks didn't lure you from your allegiance to Ralph, did they?" "I should say not. 1 was bored to death when I was with him. I re sented the time it was stealing from Ralph. There was nothing very satis fying in looking at a handsome pic ture or making small talk with a bril liant stranger when I might have been talking about real things with a man who understands me and whom I un derstand." "Well, Helen, you've stated your case very well. And the converse of the proposition is true. Ralph isn't going to be lured from his apprecia tion of all the things that count by a desire to look at a beautiful picture or of talk to a charming stranger. Mildred Hanson isn't any more likely to lure Ralph away than John Farra day was to steal you! Beauty isn't enough. Nobody ever wanted to make a meal of dessert, you know, or to spend a whole day gazing at a pine tree reflected in a mountain pool," "Well, maybe you're right. But I know Ralph would want to flirt with her a little." "And then what will you do, M 31 dred?
