It's a Sad Tale Mates!
Many years ag in the Philippine
Isles, where the Ukuleles and the
Hulu-ladies abound, a woman who i
was formerly an Omahan was living
in Manila, as lier husband was consul
tp the Philippine Islands.
William Howard Taft was doing a
little campaigning at the time and
stopped at Manila. Of course the
city put on its best clothes and "pol
ished up the handle of the big front
door" in honor of the distinguished
visitor.
JEhc "big man" was wined and dined
during his stay and when the time
,fame for his departure an immense
f crowd .was at the 'boat to bid him
goodbye. Mrs. American Consul,
who had done everything in her power
to make the genial Mr. Taft's visit
a pleasant one, was very anxious to"
leave a good last impression. As she
mounted the gang-plank to sljke
hands with Mr. Taft for the last time,
a sudden jerk of the boat caused her
to slip, and splash! the poor lady fell
into the sad sea. The water was very
shallow and as three or four brave
men reached the water almost as soon
as the unfortunate member of the
reception committee did the only in
jury she received was the one to her
pride. You can imagine how you
would feel to be fished out of the
ocean, all the curl out of your hair
and all the starch out of your shirt
waist, with a future president of the
United States looking on.
' The woman in question visits very
often in Omaha and has a host of
friends here, but I'll wager that very
few of them have heard the salt water
story I have-just related.

Hawaiians Complain of
Yankee Tourists Who Are
"Close and Uninterested"
Most ofus have been laboring un
der the impression that the "weaing
them higher" really originated in Ha
waii and that you could get away with
anything there and merely match the
rest of the animated landscape. So the
fair visitors have been struggling to
follow the maximum about, "When in
Rome," and Hawaii i3 suffering under
the shock.
It seems Honolulu is not exactly,
like the drop curtain of it in vaude
ville, and when the last meet on the
"beach at Waikiki" took place and
the fair competitors appeared with
their suits modeled on vaudeville
lines, the island at large lost an eye
and had more than enough. They
wore them not only higher, but
tighter.
Now agitation is afoot to institute
a dress reform at the next Athletic
union convention. Hawaiians com
plain they can't tt so much as a
grass skirt to visitors any more.
Strange How Folks
Disagree on Ukulele
Now comes a man who would exon
erate the Hawaiians from all blame in
bringing upon the earth that twanging
miniature guitar we all love so well,
the ukelelc. .
The Rev. John F. Cowan, D. D., W
the Hawaiian Islands; would place
the responsibility for the work on the
heads of the Portuguese, for, he says,
they took the ukulele to the South Sea
Islands, and ever since the dusky
maidens of the south have hummed
and strummed their lilting lays on the
sighing strings.

Milady Goes Shopping

when you really need something. If
you have blonde hair, and black wigs

you to shop. But it your hair is thin,
and blonde hair of good quality is on
sale, that is absolutely and positively
the right time for you to shop if you
have the money.
See the difference? Thanks! Glad
you got nie. ' '
. Seriously speaking, any woman j
who reads carettiiiy the advertise
ments in daily newspapers, as faith
fully as the men read the sport pages,
will benefit many times during the
month.
If you are in need oi a hat. and
your exchequer is limited, watch the
advertisements for "leaders" aud take
advantage f them. If you need a suit
it can be located in the same way. Not

Charity Ball Friday
Night Promises to Be
Brilliant Affair
Omaha will relax from its war re
lief labors long enough to attend the
charity ball Friday evening at ihe
Fontenelle for the benefit of the Child
Saving institute.
At prese" t the institute is caring
for 35 babies and 25 toddlers, and in
two days recently nine babies were
placed in good homes. These homes
are all investigated before the little
ones are given into their care and
every precaution is taken to see that
the conditions are proper and right
for the child.
The ball Friday will be the one ap
peal to the public for funds for the
institute work, and it deserves a" gen
erous response.
A novel feature of the ball is the
style show which is to precede the
dancing. The most prominent society
girls are to take part in it and in
the smartest, newest frocks, both aft
ernoon and evening ones, they will
promenade the length of the ball
room after the manner of the pro
fessional style show girls whom we
see at our spring and autumn shop
openings and on the screen every
week. The Omaha girls have plenty
of style and are taking to the idea
with glee and will give next week to
practicing real style show walk and
swagger.
Two thousand tickets are being
mailed, some to officers at Forts
Crook and Omaha. Anyone desiring
a ticket may applyto Mrs. A. L.
Reed, Mrs. Joseph Barker or Mrs. E.
H. Sprague.
The hotel management has ar
ranged a table d'hote dinner preced
ing the concert. Mrs. John McShane
