sivo a card party Fridav evening at
With the warm spring sunshine,
the blossom-laden atmosphere, the
songs of birds, and the freedom of
the great outdoors beckoning them
across the counter of a stuffy store,
two 16-year-old South Side girls yield
ed to the "call of the wild' and
started on a "lark" one dav last
week.
Lizzie, daughter of James Brabets.
1709 O street, and Pearl, daughter of
Z. Green, 1603 Archer avenue, just
couldn't keep the secret.
Decided to Have Fun.
"I don't know why we did it, but
we decided to have a little fun and j
just started out ior nowhere in par-jlf.17 Capitol avenue. The following
ticular, said Miss Brabets. t never Friday evening, May 31, Fontenelle
thought of the folks worrying much f-urt will celebrate its first birthday,
aoout us, but we won t do it again.
"We met a couple of soldier boys
down town and they asked us if
we didn't want to go up to Omaha.
They took us up near the Union Sta
tion and we then decided to go to
Plattsmouth. When we got to Platts
mouth we didn't know anyone and
uiun i Know wnnt to ao. we asked a
couple or uoys how iar it was to
Fort Crook, as we knew we could
catch a street car there for home.
Rut it was too far.
The boys asked us where we were
going, and when we told them that
we were running away, they gave
us sonic- overalls and caps. That night
we slept in a boxcar because we
didn't want anyone to see us, and the
next night we spent in a cornfield.
Taken in at Farm House.
"We just wandered around Sunday
and Sunday night we decided to sleep
in the field again, but changed our
minds and went to a farm house and
tpe people gave us a nice bed. They
gave us breakfast the next morning
and didn't ask us many questions, but
laughed a good deal at us.
"Then we started for home, and
when a freight train came along near
the Plattsmouth bridge, we hopped
on, but got so dizzy we jumped off
again. When we got to the bridge
there was Dad and a policeman look
ing for us. Dad was awful mad, but
the other man just laughed at us.
They took us in a car and brought us
back home."
Miss Brabets said she alwavs did
want to be a boy, but one trip like
that will do her for the rest of her
life.
Miss Green refused to talk.
The parents of the girls, while in
dignant, could not help but smile
over the affair.

WHICH JUDGES
WILL BE PICKED TO
VALUE GAS PLANT?
It is learned that part of Mayor
Smith's mission to Lincoln this week
was to look into the appointment bv
the supreme court of the district
judges to make the valuation of the
Omaha Gas plant, whose purchase
was voted for at the city election.
As the law requires the court to
select one of the three appraises
from among the judges of our own
district bench there is some specula
tion in the court house as to which
it will be. If regular litigation is to
be least disturbed, the law dockets
will be passed by and perference
given to one cf the two equity judges
who have most time to spare and the
equity dockets under present assign
ments are held by Judge Day and
Judge Troup. No one seems to
know who may be in line among the
judges of the outside districts.

A delay of two days in the open
ing of Orkin Bros.' new store in the
Conant Hotel building has been
caused by the nonarrival of certain
fixtures which had been expected
Monday.
While the delay is short, J. L. Or
kin "feels the public should be in
formed, especially as they had been
told the store's opening would take
place Saturday, May 25. Instead the
doors will be opened to the public
Monday, May 27.
No expense has been spared to
make this store one of the finest
west of Chicago. The main floor
lobby and the entrance is beautifully
paned in mahogany, with glass en
closed walnut wall cases. This de
partment of the store will be given
over to the display and sale of la
dies' and misses' fine waists and silk
underwear.
The second floor, which is easily
reached by a broad winding stairway,
as well as by an electric elevator, is
finished in mahogany to conform with
the general design and color scheme
of the first floor. Here will be found
displayed the finest stocks ' of
women's and misses' wearing apparel
shown in the middle west. The fix- i
tures and cases are so arranged on
this floor that shopping will be founjj
a pleasure. From numerous windows
a flood of daylight permeates every
corner of the second floor, and here
it will not be found necessary to take
a garment outdoors to learn its true i j
color and pattern.
A broad stairway of but few steps
takes one from the second floor of
tin's building to the second floor of
tiie adjoining building, where will
be found a wonderful millinery de
partment to be opened later. A part
of this floor space is to be given over
to the fitting and work rooms. Of
easy access to downtown shoppers,
this store will be found the meeting
place for many, and Orkin Brothers
extend you an invitation to visit
their new store Monday, May 27.
