13 THE EEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1919 MARKET TO BE l?i BASEMENT OF THE AUDITORIUM Mayor's Idea of Public Market at Fifteenth and Davenport Streets Now Dead and Buried. The municipal market is dead even before its birth so far as the market house projected by Mayor Smith at Fifteenth and Davenport streets is concerned. This was re vealed when Commissioner Ure stated in council meeting Monday morning that the committee ap pointed to investigate the substi tute or "try-out" market place in tlte basement of the City Auditor ium would report favorably. This idea was proposed two weeks ago by Commissioner Ringw fwhen the Fifteenth and Davenport streets market was being assailed by grocers, gardeners and commis sion men on the ground that it would fail and would carry thous ands of dollars with it into failure Chloroform Market Plan. When Mr. Ringer made the pro posal Mayor Smith declared: "You'll kill the municipal market idea entirely by such a substitute. If you want to kill it, chloroform it here and now by voting it down altogether. Don't try to camou flage it with this Auditorium mar ket." The mayor apparently has been won over to the "try-out" market, as Mr. Ure said the committee would bring in a unanimous report, favoring the opening of a market house in the basement of the Audi torium and the use of Jackson street from Thirteenth to Fifteenth and of Fourteenth street from Jones to Howard street, as a public market. "If the people patronize the mar ket in large numbers we can go ahead and establish other public markets," Mr. Ure said. "And if they do not, therff will be no money loss." Garage to Some Other Place. Use of the Auditorium for this purpose makes it necessary to put the municipal garage and repair shop somewhere else. Mr. Ure has been looking around and finds that there is a great deal of wasted room in the downtown fire houses, which is available for automobile storage. In the fire house at Nineteenth and Harney streets there is a lot of room," he said. "This house is 06x132 feet and in it is only one piece of apparatus and seven fire men. A great amount of space is available there for storage of city cars. In the fire house at Eleventh and Jackson, there is also a lot of space and we think this can be used for the city's automobile repair shop." Council took up consideration of the plans for the new police station but put over decision on the subject until February 24. Mr. Ure suggest ed that the fire house now located at Twelfth and Dodge streets be housed n quarters in the new police station, which will be just a block iiway, Nat Eleventh and Dodge streets. This will be decided later. No Reports on Bills. City council is alarmed over the fact that it has no reports on bills affecting Omaha that may be passed by;, the legislature. "I don't see why the city legal department hasn't attended to this," said Commissioner Butler. "It is the duty of that department. Mr. Rine used to spend a good deal of time down at the legislature while he was city attorney. There are some bills affecting Omafia that, have been recommended for passage that this council doesn't even know about We may find ourselves in a fix through this neglect." Commissioner Ure, following an argument for the appointment of a special committee, agreed to go to Lincoln and try to get copies of all pending bills affecting Omaha. Com missioners Zimman and Towl are in Lincoln. .

Forrester came back at eleven and went to a bedroom on the fourth floor, where a dresser was waiting for him with his costume. A dozen times during the evening he had said to himself rebclliousLy that he would not return, that he-would send for his valise and catch tfVe midnight express, pretending a sudden busi ness summons. For undisciplined in the social arts of concealment he looked forward to the evening as one of exquisite torture. In the end he comprehended that this liberty of action no longer existed, that no matter what the suffering, the gods of etiquette must be served. He dressed, and as his body was weli formed and his legs gracefully turn ed, he made a striking figure. Yet he was ill at ease. He felt ridiculous ly undressed. This was his first masquerade, and the compliments of the dresser only aroused his suspi cions. "Trying to work me for a tip, of course," he thought, with a shrug of his shoulder. "Well, now for it." He went down to the second floor. Already the gallery that opened on the great stairway was alive with guests, a black arriving stream streaking through the brilliant throng which descended from the dressing rooms. He joined it, and it was not until he had crossed the first salon that an acquaintance recog nized and spoke to him. In the furth er salon, at the foot of the great carved-stone fireplace loot of im poverished Italy Amy was stand ing. At first glance he cried invol untarily, "Good God, how beautiful she can be." Her dress was a bewildering swirl of royal blue brocade, glowing as the first break of azure through a clearing storm a subtle, winding profusion which wrapped her deli cate body about so airily that she seemed, by some deft improvisation, to have bee entangled in the flow ing draperies as a fragile butterfly is caught in a silken net. The curled and powdered hair, piling up in a white cloud, turned in dainty ringlets about her clear temples, and, wind ing down the dainty neck, slipped across one bare shoulder meeting a jeweled vine of starry eglantine which climbed up to the perfumed lattice of her tresses and hid itself in the mysteries of her head-dress. The daintily turned arms and wrists came whitely out from the dark blue shadow of luxurant folds, while her sensitive nose, her gay lips, her live ly cyesunder the quaint and pointed eyebrows, gave to the dainty oval a fragile aristocracy. All poise, ges ture, veiled glance and scented smile held the incomparable seduction that once was Woman. He crossed gravely to take his place by her side. Some one caught him by the arm. It was Steingall, picturesque in the costume of Lar gilleriere Steingall, triumphant in the success of his hostess, which was his success. "Wonderful, eh, Mr. Forrester?" he cried with glowing eyes. x "She must be painted like that," said the artist, with his head on one side. "By Jove, what blues." "Of course," he answered laconic ally, and continued on his way through the buzz of whispered praises that surrounded his 'wife. Amy had grown restless at his delay, but this furtive anxiety only added liveliness to her expression. For the Andrew Forrester who had now emerged was incomprehensible to her. She resisted him; she sought to conciliate him, while she watched him with growing apprehension. The moment he was there, she torgot everything but- the intoxication of her personal triumph. Mie put out her hand eagerly and drew him to her, slipping her arm through his to associate him with her own suc cess and thus reclaim him. She was in a dangerous mood. Nothing educates a woman so much as the first touch of sorrow. Before she had been an inconsequent child, distributing happiness and suffering with the same unconsciousness, flev er stopping to consider the result of an impulse, never comprehending her responsibilities later. But this sense of being protected and adored was' now torn from her. A mental transformation had come. She stood alone, feeling that she must defend herself, fight her own battles, find herself her final security. She did not quite see what she should do, but she knew that another life, com plicated and uncertain, was begin ning. And as the obscurity ahead frightened her, her instinct strove to return to old landmarks. An hour before, she had revolted against her husband with all the strength of her nature. The explanation he sought had ended only in a quarrel. But, aghast before the unknown, she felt surprised herself at the impulse which flung her back to him. She wished to conquer him, to dazzle him more than anyone else, for it seem ed to her that if she could establish the supremacy of her charm and beauty over him, that all might yet be repaired. "Andrew why you are superb." she whispered to him in a moment of freedom, and her hands pressed his with a quick, impulsive pres sure. "I am very, very proud." "You are very beautiful," he said carefully, but without enthusiasm, for be said to himself, "She is afraid it is only fear of the future that brings her to me." 'In this he was wrong. Amy had not for one moment taken seriously his talk of economy. She saw -in sit only a whip to brandish over her, the sort of threat husbands al ways make in their anger. She looked at him expectantly. If there were a flash of something in his eyes an answering pressure of his hand! Then she turned away with a gripping of her heart. Little incidents often determine the trag edies of life. He had refused to yield a jot in this, the supreme hour of her youth and beauty 1 This was her last hope. She could never again bend him to her. "What! Other men find me charming; other men look with eyes of envy, and I can't stir him he alone, doesn't appreciate me," she said to herself bitterly, and, as she suffered acutely, she threw her self gaily into the spirit of the ev ening, with a theatrical, dangerous excitement. As she wandered through the rooms of the lower floor, which had been skilfully converted into ar bors of trailing vines or alleys of boxed trees with illuminated fruit, with scores of sheltered corners for "(Copyright, 1918. by Little. Brow ft Co.) ' secret tete-a-tetes, all at once, among the later arrivals, she per ceived Monte Bracken. He was in an elaborate plum-colored costume of a prince of the royal blood, the black curls built high over the tern pies and spilling over the shoulders, flashes of delicate lace at the wrists multi-colored ribbons, golden em broideries on the vest, and a frill of the choicest cambric at thc throat, below which sparkled the orders of the Toison d Or and the He bowed with exaggerated def erence, kissing the end of her tin gers easily and naturally. Her hand rested on his a moment forgotten, as she looked at him, seized with a sudden, surprised admiration, agreeably drawn to his handsome, dark figure. Of all the men she had met, she was the most anxious for his good opinion. Their eyes met, and she felt a quick, excited flutter as she saw the start of surprise that came into his as he continued to look at her. The moment was not long, but both were conscious of a sudden embarrassment that was half delight, half unease. . She waited eagerly for his com pliment, but for the first time she saw him a prey to a certain awk wardness. "Very glad to see you, Mrs. For rester! I hare been trying to find you." he said, without taking his eyes from her. She felt the same diffidence. She perceived that her hand was still in his and withdrew it hastily. "And your brother and his wife?" "They are here. They've been trying to find you." New arrivals broke in, forcing her attention. When she turned im patiently, expecting to find him at her side, he was gone. The memory of the light that had leaped into his eyes when he had discovered her loveliness seemed to give wings to her step. All her forebodings were forgotten. A delicious feeling of light-heartedness swept her up. She sought him in the crowd, and was aware that his glance continued to follow her, but he did not approach her again. She waited with a tinge of disappointment for the spoken tiibute which she coveted, longing for it to give completeness to her happiness. But if Bracken remained obstin ately aloof, other men came up eag erly men who had been more or less'devoted'to her, and, under the license of the evening, whisper ed their declarations to her. As for Todj Dawson,-he was crushed at her transformation, hovering on the outskirts, watching' her 'with timid admiration, as though suddenly con scious of his temerity in approach ing anything so precious. So com pletely eliminated was he, so ut terly elbowed from her presence, that she felt a new irritation at An drew's obstinacy in taking his boy ish sentimentality seriously. "How absurd," she said to her self lightly. "As though a boy like that could mean anything to me! He's useful, that's all." A slight anxiety still .remained in her mind until Gladys Challoner arrived. At the first glimpse of her dearest rival she smiled a content ed little smile. Gladys was a strik ing figure in brilliant green a col or few blondes would have dared but she remained, despite every artifice, modern to her finger-tips, Startling and imposing she was, but the fragile charm of perfumed days which hovered about the younger rival quite escaped' her. Claire Bracken caught her by the arm, smiling and serene as usual. "You exquisite creature, you quite eclipse us all!" she said, in genuine admiration. "And with you, it's real!' - Between the two, opposite as they were ''in all that goes to make or spasms all are signals of distress for a woman.

Their intimacy had not yet gone further than a few formal visits, yet each had the feeling that a greater friendship was waiting. Amy slip ped her hand, under her friend's arm. "I'd rather have you think so than any one else," she said warm ly. "Do you know, I never meet you without longing to really know you. Why don't I is it New York? Tlease invite me again." "I will next week end." "Accepted." "Is your husband here? I'd like to see him." Amy nodded gratefully. Few :f the guests expressed any interest in Andrew. In her mind, busily seeking ways and means, the thought came to her that she would like Mrs. Bracken to become a good friend to Andrew perhaps she could bring him to reason. ' Kitty Lightbody descended on them voluminous and excited. "What's this I hear, Amy? Good Lord, we're not going to dance minuets all night?" "Don't worry," . she answered, laughing, "that's only the fireworks. After midnight we return to Ne.v York." "Lordy, I wish I could get back to a clinging frock, too," said Kitty in a confidential whisper. "These balloon jibs make me look like V whale. You needn't shake your head they do!" Captain Barrisdale, who l.ud come up in her train, contrived to dodge in and out of the crowd un til Kitty had safely departed. "Jove, you take our breath away!" he said in his bantering manner". "Many thanks," she said bowing. 'I wish your husband wasn't so healthy," he said looking at her closely. "And why?" she said innocently. 'Oh, you understand, very well what I mean," he said abruptly. "It sounds like an ultra-modern proposal," she said, laughing. "I say, you can guy me all you want, but look here; I'm not the first one alone." "Look out," she said, raising her nnger, amusement still in her eyes, "I thought I gave you a lesson once and you were to behave?'

She left him with a deeper feel ing than amusement. A year before she would have been indignant at the rudeness of the declaration. It was significant of her social pro gress that now it rather pleased her. Captain Barrisdale, 45, rich into eight figures, was considered a great catch. "Well, there is one would marry me instantly," she thought to her self, as she moved somberly away. It gave her a feeling of independ ence. Not that she had the slightest serious contemplation of such an eventuality, but that, in the secur ity of the present, it was necessary for her to explore the future and mark it with certain dependable landmarks one or two the more the better. She made a tour of the floor, seeking her husband, and per- A Woman's Health means everything to her.

She was not altogether pleased with this. She had given a measure of her .confidence to Irma. but it was quite another thing for Andrew to do so. She did not al together trust Irma. She caught the expression in his face, and it was to her like the skeleton at the feast. "How adamant how perfectly relentless he can be!" she thought. "Nothing can move him. He .vill never give up an idea. He isn't hu man." What she could not understand was how he could remain unmoved at the spectacle of her success. "No; he ought to be happy to have such a wife a wife that ev eryone wants," she said with a sud den lump in her throat.

Monday, when he fell through the elevator shaft of the Union Pa cific headquarters building from the eighth story to the ground floor. Adams, who has been in the employ of the Union Pacific for some time, was trucking a load of books when the accident occurred. Formerly Adams was employed as a laborer in the shops of the road and was only recently transferred to the headquarters building. His work consisted of truckiug some of the last year's books of the com pany from the eighth floor to the basement. Returned from lunch, Adams re sumed his work shortly after 1 p. m. He had loaded a truck full of books and was waiting the arrival of the freight elevator operated by Mrs Amelia Henderson. Mrs. Henderson stopped her car about two inches below the level of the eighth floor. She was attempting to put the ele vator on a level with the floor, when Mr. Adams, thinking someone else was trying to enter the car, pushed the truck forward.

Wheeler & Welp ton, representing the National In surance company ot New York nave discontinued this business. "There was too much risk and too many suits have been accumulating.
