Society Omahans See History Making Flight Around Pike's Peak. Colorado Springs, Colo., Aug. 15. , Thousands of summer visitors to 'the Pike's Peak region witnessed a history making feat this week when Alex Lerrdrum, a Colorado Springs , ; boy, flew over and around Pike's ," peak at an altitude of 15,400 feet in ''"a Curtis biplane. I. B. Humphries of Denver, i owner of the machine, was a passenger on the trip, which , consumed one hour and 25 minutes s ' until the plane returned safely to r, its hangar north of Colorado Springs. Omahans who are visiting in Colo rado are: Harkness Kountze, T. A. Lane. J. G. Masters, J. W. - Hughes, W. D. Lloyd, D. J. Hall, Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Fadden. Surprise Wedding. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Linderholm an nounce the marriage of their daugh ' ; ter, Edna, to Mr. C. E. Bloomberg, which took place May 28 in Clinton, la. The announcement comes as a complete surprise as the young cou ple have kept the marriage a secret until a short time ago. "" This was a romance of school days, for the bride, who is an accom plished musician, was a student at the conservatory of Augustana col lege at Rock Island, where she met Mr. Bloomberg, who was then a member of the S. A. T. C. of the school. He is a graduate of the col- . lege and had returned for military l training. The future plans of the poung couple are indefinite but it is prob able that they will make their home in Minneapolis. Pre-Nuptial Affair. A surprise shower was given in "honor of Miss Leata Clark Wednes day evening at the home of her par ents, Mr. and Mrs. George Clark. Miss Clark's marriage to Mr. Le ' Roy Armstrong of Sargent, Neb., will take place in the near future and she received a number of lovely ; gifts.

Judson Marsh, Svhich took place Monday at the summer home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lucien Pettenngill in Minnesota.1 The anouncement does not come as a surprise as the young couple were engaged before Mr. Marsh en listed in the army. He was sta tioned at Fort Omaha and received his discharge in January. Mr. Marsh and his bride will ar rive in Omaha within a few days to make their home. I Children'1 Party. , Janice Palm, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Palm, entertained a num , ber of her little friends at an out door party at Lake Manawa Thurs day. The occasion was the 6th j birthday of the little hostess and the i . small guests enjoyed launch rides and a picnic lunch. Healthy Robust Wor len Will Find American Fashions for Fall Extremely Hard to Follow Correctly M By ADELAIDE KENNERLY. PERMIT us, kind friends and patient readers, to give you some very fascinating facts about fall fashions. In order to do this, we mast dissect Milady and her cloihes, but war has taught us to be brave Therefore, this oper ation will find us firm and cour ageous. If we wild women are true to the forecast, figure, physique and physiognomy all will be changed. Dictators tell us that each change of fashion is influenced by this or that sometimes a king's coronation or an influx of immigrants or the overabundance of earth wormsABut this year the figure is to take on that sink-in-at-the-waist-with-awful-cramps angle. The chest is drawn in to resemble a tuberculosis victim in the last stages and the expression of the fact is either blank or I-could-spit-tacks kind. The head must pre cede the body by several inches :f one is correct. Clors oh, yes, colors! They are to be under the influence of prohi bition (didn't I tell you about in fluences), hence our "Bryan cock tain," lemonade, goup, raspberry ice, chocolate malted milk, and a dozen other timely shades. Cyclones throughout the country have given the fashion designers an idea. Our skirts 'must be swooped- Heartbeats By A. K. Seymour Lake Sorority affairs are already begin ning to take their place upon the so cial calendar. The Achoth sorority of Lincoln h. planned two affairs to be given Saturday at the Sey mour Lake club. The Misses Hazel Sneathen of Humboldt, Loys Ream of Broken Bow, Myrtle Phillip of Wahthill, and Hulda Steiger of Sut ton, who are the guests of Miss Marjorie Parsons, will be the hon orees at the luncheon given Satur day, by the alumnae. A large "rush" party will be given by the members at the dance at the Seymour Lake club Saturday evening. Mrs. Thomas F. Hamilton of Mliwaukee has the distinction of being the first woman to be admit ted to membership in the Wiscon sin Aero club. Field Club - Miss Minnie Bauman entertained at small luncheon partyv at the Field club Friday. Mrs. J. N. Man uel of Fort Worth, Tex., who is her i guest, was the honoree. Garden flowers in baskets tied with tulle formed the only decoration for the table. Covers were laid for 10 guests. Happy Holloy J. T. Pickard will entertain 14 ruests at the Saturday evening dinner-dance at the Happy Hollow , club. Carter Lake Parties of six were entertained at the Carter Lake club Thursday eve ning, by Mrs. Roy Moore and A. Jackson. Albert Edholm entertained a foursome. Final Scenes for Movie. , Final scenes of the Chamber of Commerce motion picture, "East Meets West," will be taken this fall - during v. the Ak-Sar-Ben festival , Scenes of the parades and the cor onation ball will be filmed. " Tennessee women will have their first opportunity to vote in the mu nicipal primary to be held in Knox ville earlv In Seoteraber. - "How would I choose A Wife?" said he. Then he winked And he blinked And managed to say: "The old-fashioned girl For me every time." His eyes grew soft And dreamy. Her hair must be Sunburnt or bronze You know And her eyes A violet blue. Her skin must be white And soft as down With a deep pink flush To her raunded cheeks. Two cherry lips To smile sweetly at me Showing two rows Of pearly white Perfect teeth Her form must be Supple and plump enough To match her Buoyant walk. A girl overheard 1 And she busied herself In the art Of camouflage With lemons and tints Till her hair became Sunburnt And beautiful bronze Though her eyes were not blue They were brown. Her sikn she bleached And gently massaged And her powder Was soft as down Her cheeks she tinted And her rosebud lips Were made crimson With a good lip-stick To better offset The pearly teeth. Her form was too plump But she soon reduced And acquired A buoyant walk. The man beheld One later day This vision Of loveliness. He opened his arms To the girl of his dreams To this Honest Old-fashioned girl. SELAH! Miss Woodbury Entertains. Miss Dorothy Woodbury enter tained at a kensington at her home Friday afternoon in honor of Miss Emma Warren of Brooklyn, who is visiting at "Hillcrest," the E. E. Hart home. Several informal af fairs in her honor are planned for the coming week. Country Club. J. W. Towle will entertain 18 guests a the Saturday evening din ner dance at the Country club. Police Dogs Latest Fad Beige is the first European-born dog to accompany an American Y. W. C. A. secretary to her home in the United States. American army officers started the fad of bringing French or Ger man police dogs back with them. Beige is a Belgian police dog who was presented to Miss Marion All chin of Lynn, Mass., by an officer of the army of occupation. Miss Allchin was assigned to the hostess house in Coblenze when she first made the acquaintance of Beige, a handsome black, and white puppy with a long pedigree which won him a high place in the dog show held in Coblenz. He is four months old with-the-wind around us, tight, oh, very tight, at the bottom. The walk which is to accompany this figure (produced by tuberculosis and cramps) is ultra-slouchy. In fact. Milady must not appear for an instant, as though she has two good strong legs. These vulgar extremi ties are tahoo among polite people. The feet are to be kept very close together so that when moving on them one wi1'. not walk, but hump along much after the fashion of a mermaid cr a trained seal. One-pierc dresses, whether even ing rowiis or street frock, remind us of a cyclone when worn by the hefj ies, but, of course, the more sylph like will give Farnam street and ball rooms a whirlwind appearance. Hats will be large in the early fall and completely hide the eyes. Wide, swooping feathers, combined with freak notions, are handed to us in the latest style sheets from our eastern headquarters. But we must remind you that these are American fashions fash ions that completely tie up the feet in long, narrow tube skirts. The French forecast is very short skirts, lovely, soft-looking hats and a straight up-and-down figure. You may be a la American and turn your figure into a combination of mermaid, sea lion, tuberculosis victim, or you may dress a la France and be almost human in your movements, figure and attire. We are patriotic. We are true Americans. But merciful fashion designers! Think of the terrible punishment to be a la American next season. ' ' Advice to the Lovelorn Love Comes Unbidden and, "To Love or Not We Are No More Free Than the Ripple to Rise and Leave the Sea." By BEATRICE FAIRFAX Everyone Read. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: You couldn't be lonesome or unhap py if you wanted to ever so badly, could you? You have so many let ters that are ridiculous and so "funny" that you surely never have time to be morbid. I am not one of these exceeding ly popular girls that all the boys are "crazy over," but I am just an "unpalnted" and "unpowdered" farm girl. I have gone with several boys, but I think of them only as friends and not as "beaus." I am1 a junior in high school and do not find time for beaus and school, too. I enjoy a picture show, private dance or a party as much as any one, but I also enjoy a quiet evening at home with a book or fancy work. I have read your "Advioe to the Lovelorn" for some time and I do enjoy read ing it very much. Now, Miss Fairfax, what I want to know is this: Do you think I am too young to have private dances or parties in my home? My parents do not object to my going to other girls' homes to parties or dances, but they seriously object to them coming to my home. Is It so terribly wrong? Please answer through your columns of The Bee. How is my writing? Oh! I forgot to tell youimy age. I am 18 years old. Your admirer, TROUBLED. P. S. I sincerely believe you are a woman, for I do not think a man could give such good advice as you give. My dear girl, Is there a human being on earth who never is lone some? Is there a single soul with out its amount of troubles and cares? No, life was not planned that way, and our own troubles only seem lighter when we learn of the sadness of others. You are not too young to have little dances and parties at your home. Indeed, you should enter tain your friends if they entertain you. It has always seemed wrong, to me, When parents were unwilling to have the young folks gather at the home. What is a house, If it Isn't a home for the children? Some of the most successful parents, who have brought to maturity splendid men and women, have permitted and encouraged them to bring their friends home. That Is the pure, wholesome way for young folks to enjoy themselves. Wants to Go to College. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: As so many get help from you, I thought I might also. Miss Fair fax, I have a son who wants to be a minister. He just graduated from high school. I am not able to send him through college and It will be hard, as he does not know a person in Lincoln. 1 would like to have some nice folks offer him 'a room and board, or room in pne place and board in another, where he could work after school to earn his room and board. There afe places like this, and he is real handy and easy to learn, is handy with a car, has clerked in grocery store and could learn to do most anything in a short time. He has no bad habits and could give the best of references as to being honest and trusty. Of course the work must not interfere with his studies. Also would have to use bath tub where he roomed. I wonder if Some good church member could find a place. Please try as soon as possible and send in formation to Miss Fairfax. I would give address, but it is better for his class not to know. He is liked by most every one. Please excuse grammar, as I have none. I hava had no mother since I was 8 years, and what little I do know I learned without schooling, and, O, how I miss it. No one knows what a hard life I have had. I have worked hard all my life, but sure will be happy if I can get my son through college, which will take seven years yet. I hope L live that long, as I know he will be a great man. There is not one boy in a hundred like him. He has made a Christian of his mother. Do please some one help me. , M. B. P. Your boy cannot fail with a mother like you back of him. We sincerely hope some one will an swer your letter, and if so, you will hear from us. Db not be discour aged if you don't have a reply at once, because we are confident your boy can earn his room and board while going through school, whether he is able to make arrangements in advance or not. I advise you to write to the registrar at Wesleyan university, University Place, Neb., telling him what you have told me. Abused Little Girls. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: We are two young girls of 14 and 15 years of age and come to you for your advice. We are constant readers of The Bee and greatly enjoy It. One night of this week we and two other girls of 15 went auto riding with three of our boy friends and arrived Home between 10 and 11. Our parents disliked this, as we did not let them know we were with these boys. Our parents kept us on our own grounds for two days, causing Miss Nifty (14) to miss a very mucto planned on show. Miss Fairfax, do you think this was right? Is my writing good? I wrote this for both of us. Awaiting your an swer with great impatience, we are, NIFTY AND THRIFTY. Your parents were entirely right. You girls are too young to be out riding with boys. I know exactly how you feel that you are abused Let Us Move You We will be at any place you say at any time, and be ready to move you to any place in the city or any place in the country, from coast to. coast, or border to border. , And we have the equip ment to do it right. ' Phone Douglas 4163. OMAHA VAN & STORAGE CO. 806 South 16th St. E3 K 1 2fi I and mistreated but these are the signs of youth. When your parents have carefully guided you through a certain danger sone the line be tween childhood and young lady hood then you will be happy, O, a thousand times, that they took good care of you. Parents love you, don't forget that, and many of their seemingly harsh rules are made to protect you. Between Two Loves. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am coming to you for advice and shall depend greatly upon your an swer. Three years ago I met and kept company with a man who I learned to love, and if ever any one loved I certainly did and do yet But, owing to some things that were told on him, my parents for bid me to see him. That has been three years ago and still I can think of nothing but him. ' I have gone about with a young man for some time trying to forget the one I love, and a short time ago he declared his love for me, but I told him plain ly why I could not love him, and he has since written to me asking me to write to him and take back what I said. Shall I do it? He is a good man and I'm sure would make any woman a good home. Would it be all right to marry him while all my heart and life belongs to another man ? I have given up all hope of ever seeing the other man again, as he lives in another town, although my friends tell me it is because of me he has never married. Please answer in Monday or Tues day's Bee, as I am traveling and can only get those papers. HEARTBROKEN. Never marry one man while lov ing another. However, I am fearful that you have exaggerated your love for the first man. This is quite possible when one is opposed by one's parents. If there is no chance to marry the first love, try and love the second, but by all means fWKOt the love for No. 1 before marrying No. 2. Amber Beads. A correspondent has written con cerning a way in which to clean amber beads. Make a suds of white borax naptha soap. Wash the beads thoroughly; rinse in clear warm water. Dry and polish with a soft dry cloth. L. L. If you are going to have games at your party you should provide a variety which will take in all your guests. Parches!, jack straws, "snap," some form of quoits, are games which anyone can learn in a few minutes, and even older people enjoy them. If cards are offensive to any of your guests, iyou should omit them entirely. It adds zest to the playing if you have pro gressive games, moving the players from table to table after each game. Each one should keep truck of the games he wins, and if you like, a prize can be given. Music always adds to the pleasure of a social evening. Blackheads and Pores. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Boe: My face is covered with large black heads and pores. Is there anything that I could do to take them away? My face is often so covered with pimples that I am asamed to go any place. These pimples are large and sometimes fester. What can I do to take them away? I am 13 years old and am going to enter high school this fall. How is my writing and grammar? Thanking you in advance. I am, yours truly, PANSY. You should use a good blackhead soap at least once a day, and If the pores remain large, use an atsrln gent. Your writing Is poor for a girl who is ready to enter high school and your vocabulary is lim ited. You overwork certain words. This is a literary crime. But If you study hard next year you may over come these weaknesses. Send me a stamped envelope for Information about blackhead soap and an astrin gent for large pores. About Campflre Girls. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am always so very delighted to get the daily paper and read your an swers. Now I would like to know what I should do. .The girls in our town are very anxious to start the Campflre Girls, but we cannot find a guardian, It seems as though nobody wants to help us at all, although we are a very nice bunch of girls. Now don't you think that somebody should take an interest in it? We have very few amusements of any kind. Now please advise us what to do. I am 13 and five feet six inches tall. Am I unusually tall for my age? I am also in the eighth grade. Do you think I am too old to bo in that grade? Almost all of my girl friends are In the ninth grade Rnd they tease me. Do you think this right? l'lease print this as soon as pos sible. I am BLACK HAIR. I suggest that you write to Camp fire headquarters. Patterson block, Omaha, Neb. Mrs. C. J. .Hubbard is in charge. Your friends' are only one grade ahead of you now and they may be laugnlng too soon. Sometimes the girls and boys who have the most originality Vrogress more slowly In school. Too Young. ' Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am an constant reader of your "Advice to the Lovelorn." I am a girl of 14, I am consid ered very pretty, but not to hurt any one's eyes. vWould it be proper for me to go with a young man out nights? Is it proper for me to go to dances and movies? How should a girl of my age wear her hair? How is my writing? BLUE EYES. A girl of your age might go to the movies with friends, but dances' are too strenuous for' one so young. You are growing and need your nights for rest. As for men at 14, that seems so absurd that I hesitate even to discuss it. You are a more child. Stick t the pleasures of childhood. Men will cause you plenty of disappointment and worry when you are grown. Wear your hair down. Your writing is fair. The Beauty of The Lily can be yours. Its wonaertuiiy pure. soft, pearly white ap pearance, free from all blemishes, will be com parable to the perfect beauty of your skin and complexion if you will 1 userVJ D a. h I Autumn Apparel The wise will prepare early this season.
