H. Kcyes, a Boston real estate oper
ator. Miss Hariet A.'Varney, a nurse,

actor named Whitney, and of plead
ing with him to let her go home when

terica!! v: Later, as she related how
Keycs had given her, a wedding ring
when they were living at hotels to
gether as man and wife, telling her
it was as sacred as a dozen cere
monies, her voice again faltered and
near t'.ie end of the day's trying or

Omahan in Paris Writes
I Of Wine, Women and H. C. L
The French girls do not come up
to'American girls, in the opinion of
Sergeant Edwin R. Richards now in
France in the quartermaster's corps
of the American army. Richards was
formerly advertising manager for the
Niles-Moser Cigar company of Oma
ha. Ik joined the colors in July, and
has just written back to an associate
in the store, William R. Karnett.
"Wc certainly sec a lot of girls
running around Paris," he said, "but
they don't come up to 'the American
girls, especially the Nebraska queens."
Of course, this is not all Richards
talked about in his letter. ' Other
things, more sordid, also impressed
him. For instance, he had to payl
for a pair of socks in Paris, and tlrat
so staggered him that he wrote arid
fid "Bill" about it.
Nor did he neglect to discuss the
wine. "Wonderful," he said. "One
could alrrnst live pn.it. Reminds you
of good strong vinegar, only a little
stronger.''
He praises the Young Men's Chris
tian association work also. "Mrs.
Roosevelt was teaching a class in
French when I was at the Young
Men's Christian association in Paris,"
he said. "I was introduced to her by
some lady when I asked for some in
formation, and Mrs. Roosnelt gave
it to me."
Use of Proper English Is
Undoing of Many Pupils
Cortructive English, the' .writing
Mid f peaking of the English language,
is the greatest stumbling block that
pupils , of the Central High school
encounter in their course of study, ac
cording in statistics compiled by
Principal Masfrs. N
The greatest per cent of "As," rep
resenting work of 90 per cen: or more,
f,;re received by pupils of the Greek
department. This is due to the fact
that no pupil is allowed to take Greek
unless he has made a grade of A or B
in his last semester's work in the
Latin department Miss May Cope-

that we can afford to. sell them at less than their original whole
sale cost.
