Gabby Discusses How
We Eat and What to
Wear and Where
By GABBY DETAYLS.

A RE women hungrier than men?
This is a question which, while
not worrying any one in par
ticular, is causing considerable com
ment in downtown restaurants and
cafeterias. Lunch counter experts
and philosophers say records show
that the fair sexvhave the biggest
bills for food.
"Men get hungry, too," declared
the manager of one soda-lunch
counter on Seventeenth and Farnam
street, "but they are not in it with
the girls and women, for the -men
come down at regular lunch time,
have their bite and then spend the
rest of tht lunch hour walking or
playing billiards. But few men
come down in between meals for
anything to eat, while on the other
hand, there is scarcely an hour dur
ing the morning or afternoon when
my counter is not lined with girls
and women. And the general in:--pression
that they are there for cold
drinks or ice cream is all. a mistake,
for nine out of ten of them call for
several sandwiches and follow it
with cake or pastry. And they al--'ys
eat as if they've had nothing
for days. Of course, I do not ob
ject to it, but I would like to know
why women eat sc much more than
men do?"
Said another drug store proprietor,"
who serves light lunches, "The ste
nographers and office girls are more
or less organized into a 'Ten-Thirty
Lunch club.' As regularly as the
clock rolls around each day these
girls drift down to the fountain, one
or two at a time, and stand there
eating as if they toad been forced to
do without breakfast. Then around
noon or about 12:30 o'clock back
tbey come for more and lots of :'t.H
About 3:30 in theN afternoon comes
the third rush of lhe lunch club, ac
cording to the manager of this foun
tain, and he declares the combined
business of these three rushes about
pays his rent.
Now Gabby would like to know
whether or not women are really
hungrier than men. For the past
few days she has been making ob
servations and hs decided that wo
men, like children, satisfy the eye
father than the stomach.
"When I eat at the Y. W. C. A.
cafeteria I ahvays order more than
1 can eat," said one young business
woman. "They have such a variety
of food and everything looks so ap
,5rtizin that I want to order every
thing in sight," she continued.
"Where do I eat at noan and
what do I eat?" repeated as aston
ished -vou:- i of whori Gabby
asked this i-.:.iljo". "Why, I usu
ally have a 'hand out' in a drug
store, malted milk and a sandwich
and, if I'm- very hungry, which isn't
often, I add a piece of pie."
A young matron confided to Gab
by that she was still hungry after
eating two, ham sandwiches, a fruit
salad and a piece of pie.
And so it goes in every instance
it is the woman who pays more for
her meals.
SOMETIMES a shiny nose is an
1 asset instead of ' a liability.
Rather an odd statement you
say? Yes, perhaps it is, but the best
photographers declare that powder
and malleup will ruin an otherwise
beautiful picture.
Mimi Pajmeri, whose classic fea
tures have smiled at you from count
less magazine covers, fashion pic
tures and war posters, has found it
so. And her advice to ladies-aboui-to-be-photographed
is, "Let it shine."
So if you would have a "good photo
graph" of yojjrself one that looks
Vke you and Mary Pickford, which
is the average ' woman's idea of an
unflattering photograph of herseli
leave that last touch of powder in
your vanity case. And with it leave
the rouge.
One Omaha miss, prominent in
activities of the young set, and much
interested in affairs for the benefit of
charity, declares however, that one
photographer in Omaha has carried
thts idea a bit too far;
Not long ago she was having her
picture taken to be used as public
ity for a certain organization. The
photographer was very eager to ob
tain a beautiful portrait of the young
woman and left no stone unturned
to obtain the desired results. Upon
one thing he insisted. She must
grease her face before she might be
photographed. She did the '.ay
was warm, the room wanner and
before the sitting was finished, the
grease was rapidly melting. "A
tehiny nose may be all right, but
there is jio excuse tor tnis greasing.
My new dress was literally covered
with grease spots when that man
was through and it is hopelessly
ruined," wailed this society maid.
"And you can't imagine how I felt
just all greasy and warm."
v $
TTTHAT to wear and where to
YY wear it," might be a very
" ' interesting subject for poli
tical speakers at the present time.
With the republican convention in
Chicago just past and " the demo
cratic one to open in San Francisco,
June 28, politics seem to be upper
most everywhere. Those who were
in Chicago-during the recent con
vention report that "the heat was
simply terrific; fortunately I took
my voile dresses with me and fii-'
sisted -that Charles take his Palmj
Beach suit. My dear, if you are
School Girls Return Home From Colleges
And Universities to Spend the Summer
'"Tis education forms the common mind: Just as the twig is bent,
the tree's inclined," sings Pope, and his contemporary, Dryden, echoes the,
thought with '"Children, like tender osiers, take the bjw, and as they first
are fashioned, always grow." Today our land possesses many fine schools
and colleges so that its youth may reap the fruits of good education. But
"Now summer blinks on flowery braes and o'er the crystal streamlet
plays" and Omaha's studious young girls are returning from their alma
maters. "
&An attractive trio who are to spend the summer at home are Miss
Ruth Nickum, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Nickum, and the Misses
Lucile and Winifred Lathrop, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. La
throp. Miss Nickum returned Thursday morning from Rockford college,
Illinois, with a group of Omaha girls, also students at Rockford during
the past year, which included Misses Herberta Barker, Louise Ortman.
Grace Berger, Grace Bailey and Ruth' Hatteroth. Miss Winifred Lathrop
arrived home at the same time. Both she and Miss Nickum were members
of the freshman class of this college. Recently at the school in Illinois a
scenario was filmed in which Miss Nickum was given a minor role. Miss
Herberta Barker also appeared in the picture. It is being used in connec
tion with an endowment fund and wi) probably be shown in Omaha.
Miss Lucile Lathrop, who was a junior at Boulder university, Colo
rado, during the past, school year, is now visiting classmates in Denver
and will return to Omaha the latter part of the month. Miss Lathrop was
a student at Rockford college in her freshman and sophomore years and
plans to attend it next year. She is a member of Kappa Gamma. Her
sister's plans for the coming year are indefinite. Miss Nickum, who has
specialized in art and music, will continue her studies at the University of
Nebraska iiHier sophomore year.
Among the Vassar students who are home are Emily Burke, Peggy
Reed and Virginia Crofoot. All plan to return next year. The Omalia
group at this eastern school, will be joined by Miss Katherine Davies,
who recently graduated from Latham. Miss Crofoot leaves June 22 to
summer in England.
Miss Mary Gifford, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Harold Gifford. returned
last week from the University of Wisconsin, where she has completed her
freshman year. Miss Willow O'Brien, a sophomore at Manhattanville
college, New York, returned Friday. She will remain with her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. T. J. O'Brien, until she returns to school in the fall.
A Bryn Mawr student is Miss Mary Morsman, who is now here with
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Morsman, jr.
Simmons college claims two Omaha girls among its students, they are
Camilla Edholm and Elizabeth Austin, who return there next year to
continue their studies.
Virginia Pixley, a Wellesley scholar, and Rowena Pixlcy, who at
tends Dana Hall, are summering here. Another student home from Dana
Hall is De Weenta Conrad.
. Dorothy Collier will return next year to be a senior at Penn Hall,
where she i specializing in domestic arts. - s
Amongother girls who will be home from school for he summer are
Dorothy Judson, Dorothy Belt, Mildred, Weston, Ilda Langdon, Jeannette
Johnson, Onnolee Mann, Anne Axtell, Dorothy Arter, Catherine "Goss,
Gertrude Koenig, Marie Neville, Louise Riley, Margaret Williams, Ruth
Carter, Gretchen Hess, Jean Kennedy, Evelyn Cole, Gertrude Kountze,
Virginia and Elizabeth Barker, Helen Rogers, Betty Coit, Izetta Smith
and Mildred Rhoades.
A number of these school maids are planning short trips to outdoor
camps and lake resorts but they will be made later in the season.
going to Frisco be sure to take
light enough clothing with you."
But at this point Gabby must
remonstrate.
California is a land of sunshine
and flowers all right. But San
Francisco is a city of the all year
round overcoat and the medium
weight suit. "
Many Easterners have the idea
that it is warm all the year round in
California, and this being summer
time they naturally assume that it is
warmer than, ever now. This is true
for the interior and the southern
section, but from San Francisco
north to the Oregon line it is really
colder in summer than in winter on
account of the stiff trade winds and
the daily fog. '
Comparatively few straw hats are
seen there, and most of these are
worn by eastern tourists or by new
comers who have not yet become
"naturalized." And those who do
wear straw hats wear overcoats.
The majority of the women wear
heavy wraps,"and furs are seen on
many of them. Nearly every morn
ing is foggy and , chilly until, about
10 o'clock. Then comes the fine
part of the day, with a brilliant sun,
the breeze laden with the odor of
perpetual flowers. This paradise
lasts until 3:15 o'clock in the after
npon or maybe until 4:15, and then
the fog comes foaming down past
Twin Peaks and Mount Tanialpais,
shutting off the sun and starting up
the warning horns on Alcatraz
Island.
On account of the chill there is
no summer outdoor night life in San
Francisco. There are no amuse1
ment parks, no open picture places.
Strawberry Fete
Promises To
Be Success
All wjll be gayety at the straw
berry festival, given Friday evening
at the corner of Thirty-fifth and
Woolworth streets, if plans of the
committee in charge materialize. Mrs.
Clarence Rubcndall's jcircle of the
Westminster Presbyterian church,
hold this affair annually and each
year its popularity has grown. A
number of features are to make this
event most unusual, according to
Mrs. Rubendall. A real "movie," to
ho shown out of doors, and fish
ponds, fortune tellers and "jazz"
will .no doubt add to the attractiver
ncss of huge mounds of ice cream
buried in bright red strawberries and
surrounded by delicious cake.
The committees in charge are Mrs.
Eugene Coffeen and . Mrs. Ralph
Hart, amusements; Mrs. D. H. Dun
ham and Ms. Weston Cutter, re
freshments; Mrs. Gordon Bennett,
movies .and Mrs. E. A. Chamberlain,
table arrangements. Proceeds of the
festival will be devoted to the church
building fund.
But inside the merry make merry
in gilded palaces that stretch the
lengths of Market street and Powell
street.
So if you're going to the San
Francisco convention leave Palm
Beach snits and orgaudy frocks at
home and don't forget a comfort
able wrap..
Reception To Be
Held At Camp
Brewster
"Summer camps are calling Oma
ha girls far away to their pleasures
in mountains and near the clear wa
ters of sky-blue lakes. Colorado,
New York, Wisconsin, Michigan,
and the New England states are
without doubt, ideal locations for
vacation camps, nevertheless, Oma
ha has one such situated not more
than 45 minutes' from the heart of
the city. It's name? Camp Brew
ster. Overlooking the Missouri
where peaceful clouds are reflected
in its muddy depths, the camp is
one of the beauty Spots near
Child's Point.
It is at this out-door retreat that
women and girls go to forget the
routine of everyday life and revel
in the freedom of the country.
Groups of laughing lassies garbed
in middies and bloomers go hiking
every day into the wood, others or
ganize themselves- into swimming
parties and in gayest bathing suits
take dips into the camp pool which
is now in readiness for the bathers
and tennis courts resound with
happy calls of players who take
an eager interest in the game.
J After a day of recreation it is
no wonder the girls quickly dispose
of the crisp green vegetables, gold
en butter, and palatable eggs which
are all camp products.
A -ptiblic reception will be held
at the camp Saturday, June 26.
Mrs. Frank Judson is chairman of
r
the committee m charge and Mrs.
Charles 1. Kountze is vice chair
man; Mrs. W. J. Hynes, secretary,
and Mrs. Blanche Paterson, treas
urer. Other committee members
are Mesdames John Tally, Charles
Offutt, A. L. Reed, Henry WymanJ
Francis A. Brogan, Wilson Lowe,
John W. Towle, E. John Brando's,
David Baum, George A. Joslyn.
Walter Head, W. R. McKeen, and
G. W. Wattles. Miss Clara Brew
ster is the camp director. All will
be in the receiving line Saturday
with the 'exceptions of Mesdames
Brandeis, Head and Wattles, who
arc out of the city for the summer.
According to Mrs. Judson, who re
cently returned from an eastern trip,
this camp excels many of the larger
camps of the east in both beauty and
comforts.
Omahans Are Prominent
Social Affairs At the
Capital City f
Bureau of The Bee,
Washington, Juhe 19.
Washington is quite itself again
with a normal temperature hovering
about the 100 mark for a week or
more, making up amply for all the
cold weather of"May and the first
half of JiiNe. The country home life
around Washington is ideal and
scores of. historic old homes which
have gone to rack and ruin, have
been and are being restored to their
former beauty and quaintness, plus
modern comforts and even luxuries.
"Many of them have grown into
veritable show places. Other places
are entirely new, in new and de
sirable spots on the river and iithe
hills. Among the new residents" of
the countryside are Mr. and Mrs.
Oliver Iselin, jr., of New York, who
are up in the Leesburcr district of
fVirginia, and Mrs. Paul Fitzsim-
uions whose -son, Paul Fitzsimmons,
jr., recently married Mrs. Elsie
French Vanderbilt of New York and
Newport.

was at the Union station on. Sunday
night, and had a good wait of it, to
see the presidential nominee of the
republicans, Senator Warren G.
Harding, and Mrs. Harding, who
were, returning from the victorious
struggle in Chicago. It was a
splendid tribute the crowd paid to
Senator Harding and his attractive
wife, to wait for two hours for their
belated train and give them such a
rousing send-off as they did. Mrs.
Jlardin appeared a very surprised
githcr on Monday evening. Sena
tor and Mrs. Harding will go on
afterward to their home in Marion,
O., for the remainder of the sum
mer. Miss Margaret Wilson returned to x
the White House 10 days ago and
spent the week-end with her father
and Mrs. Wilson. She left again on
Tuesday to return to New York.
The President and Mrs. Wilson
drive out frequently now in the
iiiorningsrather than the afternoons
and usually spend several hours on
the country roads-.
Senator and Mrs. Norris are leav
ing the first of the week for a few
weeks' rest and recreation in the
woods. Their children will join
them at least for a part of the time.
Mrs. Norris will visit her sister in
Nebraska later in the summer and
not return here until the autumn. '
Mrs. Stapleton, widow of D. C.
Stapleton, has, closed her Massachu

The Road
By ROBERT E. SPILLER
There's more of the heart of man
in the road
Than ever the wanderer knows,
For the wanderer travels it light of
heart
And cares not whither it goes.
And the road is like the wanderer,
too,
For it twists and turns with a
will. I
It hides itself in the valley shade,
Or climbs to the highest hill.
But ages of men have made the
road,
And ages of men know best,
For there's never a road but has in
end,
And the end of the road is rest.
