Mchslaa St Doala 3443, QUITE like a leafy dell in the autumn woods was the garage in which the officers' hop was given Saturday evening, for the walls were completely covered with scarlet and brown leaves. The lights were softly shaded and the litt'e hall was very artistic. A unique feature of the affair was a little wireless station where T-io--tenant Powell received messages which he read to the guests. In the intervals between dances the girls sent messages, having a gay time composing the missives. The dance was strictly informal and no evening gowns .were worn. Mrs. Jacob W. S. Wuest was most attractive in a smart afternoon gown of soft gray georgette. Tailored suits and georgette blouses were worn for the most part, with a num ber of dark crepe gowns and numer ous smart models of black velvet. Among the younger girls who at tended were Misses Erna Reed, Esther Wiihelm, Edith Cofnish of Little Rock, Ark., Eugenie Whit more, Hazel Peterson, Corinne El liott, Irene Carter and Marian Coad. Many of the younger married set were also there, included Messrs. and Mesdames Sam Burns, Arthur Remington, Wilson Low, T. F. Ken nedy, Louis Clarke, Howard Bald rige and W. R. McKeen.

The Iride was very lovely in an orchid satifi gown, her only ornament a brooch of diamonds. She carried a shower bouquet of orchids, the color of these exotic flowers harmonizing with the shades of her gown. In the receiving line were the bridesmaids, Miss Sophia Bergeda, sister of the bridegroom, Misses Lily and Kate Bergeda and Miss Ella Roth. The young women wore their bridesmaid's gowns of pink tulle and carried pink rosebuds. Mr. David Bergeda, brother of Colonel Berge da, presented the guests and Gov ernor Thomas C. Rye and Hon. Jo seph W. Byrns.iwho attended the wedding ceremony in Omaha with the other members of the staff, were also in the receiving line.

Waistcoats frequently play the star role in the winter costume. Putty-colored angora wool, striped in black, carries off the honors in this suit of navy tricotine. The wSstcoat buttons with black but tons. It is whispered that these waistcoats may be made frtm the many wool scarfs on the market which sell for about $4 each. A scarf of putty or chamoiscolored wool, plain ground, would make a stunning waistcoat for wear with this blue suit, especially if fastened with imi tation amber buttons. A white scarf would also be a striking acquis ition in the guise of a waistcoat. The belt of this suit fastens with a silver buckle. The close hat is made of navy satin antique, a fabric which resembles leather. Women WH1 Help. The Association of Collegiate Alumnae, at its monthly meeting Saturday voted heartiest co-dfiera-tion in the drive next Saturday for $5,000, for a dispensary in France for women and children. Postpon ing a luncheon and play of the drama section dated for next Satur day, they propose to assist the medi cal women in every way possible. Other college clubs, sororities, women's clubs and nurses will also assist. " Dr. Olga Stastney, chairman of the executive committee, said: "The return of the civilian population to their ruined homes is unspeakably sad. Workers write home that one feels a mingling of pleasure and pity when the older children shout and leap with joy, but it is pathetic be yond words when the little ones who have never known anything but the thunder and terror of war, with a frightened expression in their eyes whisper, "Sh-hl They may hear us." Will the mothers of America help the mothers of France next Satur day? Will everyone help? Research Club Meets. In spite of the disagreeable weather a large number was present at the meeting Sunday of the Re? search club. Rev. Father McKeown spoke upon the good work the club was doing, urging all to be faithful in attendance. At the meeting plans-for the year were discussed. Women's Totals in War Drive. Week-end reports of the women's committee activities in the United War Work drive show a total col lected of $34,192.81. This includes the house-to-house canvass, theaters and booths in hotels, stores and banks. Headquarters in the Msaonic Temple building will be maintained until Wednesday evening. , Mrf and Mrs. G. W. Megeath will leave1 soon on a western trip, return ing Thanksgiving. - Chrysanthemum Queen of the Autumn Season Of the flowers adapted for- use in the home, chrysanthemums meet more requirements than any. Pro duced in great variety of form and color, they lend themselves to al most any decorative plan which may be devised. From the end of August until Christmas they are in season, bridging over a' period when most choice flowers have passed. With a little care, cut blooms last in water a long time often two weeks or more. The giant blooms we see today in the flower shops are the rtsult of hybridization work extending over more than a century, the base parents being two wild species common to China and Japan, having kvery small flowers, in size less than those of the common held daisy which, by the way, is also a chrysanthemum, bearing the Latin name of Leucanthemum vulgare. In recent years there has been developed a spendid race of single chysanthemums, whose varieties produce beautiful rayed flowers with golden centers, admirable for table, basket and vase use. The race cov ers a wide variety of forms, one, two and three rows of petals, dou bles, Anemone-formed, and pom pon. The blooms range in color through whites, yellows, pinks, chestnuts and bronzes, and are pro duced in well formed sprays of Nhree to six or more flowers. The plants are usually set out in the open ground in May, potted in early September and flowered under glass protection. The cut flower sprays are used to great advantage in low bowls or dishes, the stems inserted in blocks obtainable for the pur pose; arranged in this way a nat ural growing effect is produced which is artistically pleasing. For Thanksgiving stable centerpieces such arrangements are very ap propriate, and the effect is height ened by the addition of sprays of autumn foliage. Theater Parties. Colonel Carmody of Fort Omaha will entertain a number of the army set at the Boyd this evening in honor of Colonel and Mrs. Jacob W. S. Wuest. Following the play the guests will have supper at the Fon tenelle. Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Red will have as their guests, Messrs. and Mesdames C. T. Kountze, W. A. C. Johnson, Mrs. F. A, Nash and Mr. C.

They seemed grateful because of her res cue of Toto, the baby, but there was something about them that she didtfr altogether trust. Behind their smiles was a slyness that made her doubt that she was seeing their real selves. , ' . , "Come into my tent," said Tirzah, the Gypsy queen. "There you shall feel the GypsjS chatm." Peggy held back. She was not a bit anxious to explore the mysteries that lay behind the bright colored draperies. Her hesitancy became all the stronger when she. suddenly realized that she toas all alone among the Gypsies. The fair visit ors, who had been streaming in and out of the camp all afternoon, were gone. , "Come," said Tirzah again, and this time she took Peggy firmly by the hand. Peggy thought fast She was, for the moment at least, in the power of the Gypsies. They evidently in tended no harm, and besjdts they halgood reason to treat her well. f OSSlDiy 11 sne irustcu uiciu uy iM reward her ai Tirzah had frnmi'.erl. and then would let her ko. go she started alone with the queen. Rnr now there oushed into the rfnwrl nf GvTisies a swarthy, scowl ing older man, who frowned darkly as he looked down upon reggy. "Ha what's this? A beautiful white girl? Are her parents rich? Will thev eive a biff ransom for The other Gypsies shrank back as the older man shouted out tnese questions. Evidently they were afraid of him. Only the tall, fierce Innliitiff man held his" place beside Tirzah. He answered the older Gypsy. ... ".This girl has done us a service, Viga," he said. 'jiVo harm shall come to herl" - ; "Who dares say to me what shall or shall not be done?" demanded Viga. "J dare say it," answered the younger man, doubling up his fists and facing Viga, who glared angrily back at him. --"And I say it with you, Ronald," spoke up Queen Tirzah. "She shall be rewarded by feeling the Gypsy's charm." , x "The Gypsy's charm, ho, ho, hoi" laughed Viga. "When she feels the Gypsy's charm she will be ours for- CV"That shall be as Tirzahays," spoke up Ronald. "Or perhaps as I say," sneered Viga. "You grow overbold, young Ronald. When we reach the open road there must come a settlement between us two." Viga's words held a threat, which Peggy could only vaguely under stand a threat against her and against Ronald, who, apparently, was her friend. As the two men glared at each other, Tirzah drew her quickly into the tent. . It was dark there, brt when Peg gy's eyes became accustomed to the gloom she found herself in a luxu rious, oriental den, with beautiful hangings on the wall, a rug on the floor, deeply cushioned couches in viting repose, and a dimly burning lamp hanging from above., - "Wait here I" said Tirzah, leading Toto into a rear apartment, j When -Peggy found herself alone, her first impulse was to escape, A glance qutside, hovyever, showed that the tent was Surrounded by Gypsies. She could not possibly get away. A slight noise on the other side of the curtained wall attracted her at tention. It was like SOhie one breathing deeply. Then there came a little moan. Peggy stood still, afraid to stir. Again there came the little moan. Perhaps some one was in dis tress. Maybe she could .help. Thinking this, Peggy crept to the draperies and peeked through. On a couoh in another apartment was a boy sleeping and moaning in his sleep. Peggy- was about to draw back, when she made a startling discov ery. The boy's face was as brown What to Send Your Soldier New YorkAFollowing is part of "Ha, what's this? .A beautiful white y k irir as any of the Gypsies. But he wore a ragged suit, and through a break in this ragged suit peeked out a bit of his arm. And that arm was white. t Startling thoughts flashed to Peggy's mind. This white boy was a captive of the Gypsies. He had been colored brown to make, him look like the others. Perhaps they were going- to ao -the same with her. . The boy sighed deeply and turned his face toward her. Then she made another startling discovery. The boy was Billy Belgium. (In th next chapter Peggy feels the Gypsy'a charm.
