DELAYS ARE COSTLY Folks and people, the way the market on clothes looks to us at this time wait ing Is as good as paying more. There's no chance for any general lowering of prices. Much as we would like to invite you to a feast of extraordinary, etc., etc. it can't be did, but as the market Is we are doing some wonders. These boys' rompers for the kiddies at 98c have a wonderful lot of wear In them. These men's all wool suits at $16.50, 118, $20 and 2,60 would be worth the money In 1914. Hart Schaffner and Marks clothing, Mun singer underwear, Black Cat and Inter woven and Everwear hosiery, and a lot of other things you can find at Flynn's are always worth the money whether the market Is up or down.

My Heart and Adele Garrison's Revelations The Way Rita Brown "Led" Them All. AH, this is something nice liv ing." Rita Brown sank into the chair the waiter neid out for her, put her elbows on the table, her chin in her hands, and drew a long ecstatic breath. Mrs. Durkee, Leila Fairfax and I looked at her in mild astonishment at her exuberance. Alfred Durkee and Dicky laughed aloud. "Poor little ingenue from Podunk," Dicky teased. "Was she never in a cabaret before? Well, she shall see everything that's going, so she shall 1" "That man walking this way is called a waiter, Rita " Alfred Dur kee took the cue with preternatur ally solemn face. "If he asks you what you want to eat just tell him the opposite thing to what you would really like. That is. the rule here." "See the space in the center with the rope around it?" Dicky inter rupted. "Some of the oldest female inhabitants of New York will pres ently give what they call a dance, th noise of a rasoine key will be the creaking of their poor old joinftl as they attempt to keep time to tne music which is what is known as the jazz band. Can you remember that, dear? You will want to tell your friends in Podunk about it, and you mustn't forget it. Perhaps you had better try to spell it. Come now repeat it after me, j-a-j-z " Like Old Comrades Miss Brown regarded him stonily. "Are you practicing that patter, hoping you'll get a try-out in vaude ville?" she asked. "If so, take a sin cere friend's advice, stick to the sign painting. Dicky-bird as a humorist you're an awful flivver." She turned to Alfred Durkee with a dazzling smile. Her. manner had the effect of sweeping every one but him out of the universe. "I suppose I am an awful idiot, Alf," she said deprecatingly, "but I've been shut in an eternity, and I'm like a wild thing let out of a cage." Alfred patted her shoulder reas suringly, and I saw his mother wince at the sight of the familiar comradely touch. "Go as far as you like," he said, and there was indulgent tenderness in his voice. "No, sir-ee." Dickey's voice was full of passionate protest. "I give warning right now that I'm both a quiet man and an economical one-" An Adroit Move. An irrespressible burst of laugh ter greeteed this, for Dicky's reck-' lessness in spending is known to all j his friends. i "Well, I ami!' he retorted. "And let me tell you, Alfred Durkee, that you little know what you are bring ing on us. iwo courts police and bankruptcy stare us in the face. Unsay them words." "Shut up," Alfred Durkee retorted "and let us order. Come, Rita you're the invalid, what do you want?' "Oh, never mind the eats, yetl" she said. "But I'm dying for a drink. And I don't want any of your ordinary cocktails, either. I want something with a good kick in " Alfred Durkee looked at her anxiously. "Are you sure your physican would want to you to have it?" he asked. "I'm my own physician," she I retorted refiantly. "Go on, Alf, GENERAL ERVVIN STATIONED IN CITY YEARS AGO Leader of U. S. Troops on Mexican "Border Was Favorite of Local ' Social Set. Brigadier General Erwin, in com mand of the United States troops that invaded Mexico and yesterday drove Villa and his soldiers out of Juarez, is well known in Omaha, having been stationed here for a considerable length of time. Early in 1901 when General Mer riam was in command of what was then the Department of the Platte and which had its headquarters in Omaha. Erwin came here as a cap tain. He was known in Omaha as "Jimmy" Erwin. Within a short time he became acting adjutant gen eral and a few months later was pro moted to the rank of inspector gen eral. He was in the Philippine serv ice and afterward returned to Oma ha with the rank of lieutenant col onel. In 1910 he was transferred to San Francisco and in 1911 was made colonel and assigned to the 9th cav alry :.nd subsequently sent to the Mexican border, where he has since been a good deal of the time. During his several years' residence in Omaha, General Erwin was one of the most popular army officers. Most of the time he lived at the Omaha club and was a general fav orite there. He moved in the exclu sive social set and was sought by many mothers who had marriage able daughters. However, he was not caught in any of the local nets that were set by Cupid, but instead, during the latter years of his Omaha residence he made a trip to Geor gia and upon his return, brought .with him a wife, a charming girl, born and reared in his native state. More Overseas Arrivals New York, June 16. (Special.) The following Omahans arrived here recently from overseas: Company C, S2d infantry: Private Thomas E. Hea, 2811 Laurell ave nue. Company F, 52d infantry: Lieut. Roy J. Charmock, 2863 Mary street. Company E, 53d infantry: Private Francisco Urrattafriend; Thomas Vacondi, 1004 Capitol avenue. My Husband New Phase of of a Wife don't be spoil sport. I'll order it myself if you don't. He turned to the rest of us. "Would any of the rest of you like a cocktail?" he asked. His mother, Leila Fairfax and I promptly declined. I caught little Mrs. Durkee looking anxiously at her son, knew that she mirrored my own anxiety concerning Dicky's course. Before the two men had gone to France I had secretly been a little uneasy concerning Dicky's apparently increasing - fondness for alcholic drinks, and knew with out her telling me that Mrs. Dur kee was even more anxious about Alfred. Dicky's answer was prompt, non chalant. "I've got-the seat next to the driver on the wagon," he asserted. "Got to come to it anyway in a few days, so I'm getting in prac tice." "Well, for goodness sake!" Rita Brown cried. "Is'nt anybody but Alf going to drink to my returning health?" I could have shaken her for the adroit manner in which she had made it almost impossible for her host to do anything but join her in the drink. I was sure that she had seen,, as I had, the hesitancy in young Durkee's manner, sure also that she was mentally gloating over her success. And the look in his mother's eyes as the two touched glasses, made my heart ache. (Continued Tomorrow.) BACK LIKE A BOARD?
