Don't tell me you have plenty of lunch impossible without salad and shortcake. Miss Waitress, please bring everybody at my fable more salad."

I love your shops and window and espe cially your tailored looking men and stylish, peppy women. Omaha is the great divide between the east and west much more east than west and I never met such con genial, absolutely natural, cultured folks in my life. They radiate ideas and enthusiasm." Miss Suratt walked up stairs be cause she believes in exercise, but when she reached the fifth floor a blue and white dining room suite caught her eye. "Oh, just look at this darling suite I It matches my blue room in New Yorkl I shall have it sent on immediately! Where is your sales man? All righty,, Mr. Salesman! Send this suite to my address, Fifty ninth and Fifth, New York, by spe cial delivery. How much, please ?"i And the stvle barometer tnnk fmm ner bag a check book to seal th. Dargain. .
