Rather sheepishly he dipped out

announcement which seemed bora
cf real strength of character, to
the effect that he would spend the

another game, since bis train left

they were glad be had been abl;

hostess and worried no more.

L'lTE amazing is the amount
gossip concerning love
ffairs these early July days.
Among the latest bits to reach
Gabby's ears concerns a girt "who
recently returned front an eastern
school to be an attendant at the
marriage of her sister to an out-of
town man. Tu said that a certain
young man is most ardent in his
attentions to her. Certain it is that
hev will acquire just dozens of rela
tives should he win his suit as she
is one of large family and possesses
numerous uncles, aunts and cousins.
Then there is another lassie in
this city just home from school in
the east (Gabby dare not tell either
school or city), who, we hear, has
won the heart of a southerner, a
Virginian, to be exact. Rumor has
it that he will visit here shortly.

long agot "J'm glad yon are begin
ning to reamte it," said his wife. "If
men did the shopping for about a
week there would be an end to these
high prices." she declared.
"There is too much talk about
this thing and no action. A woman
can't do anything about it. I have
quoted things about what this or
that government official says, or
statistic about prices. And what
do the butch.-rs and grocers say?
Why. they say, 'Ladr. if you know
where von can buy thing for those
prices Ut me know. I'd like to buy
some myself.' And what can a
woman answer back?

much. Meat is really the most eco
nomical thing to buy. It is the con
stantly increasing price of the little
things like? vegetables and canned
goods, cakes and dainties that get
on a woman's nerves. It is getting
so now that the 'trimmings' icost
more than the roast and we can't
see any reason for it. ,
"I read the other day that there is
$24 more money per capita in cir
culation today than there was a
year ago. If tfiat is trhe. I would
like to say it costs about $24 more
per stomach per ever so often to
live than it did a year ago.
"I've noticed that when the prices
of the things men use for them
selves began to go up they either
changed their brand or went with
out, nut a woman can't change the
brand of the things she puts oa the
table."
Everyone in the party was
"floored" at this explosion from a
peaceable-looking woman. And her

And if a close friend of this pretty

world of meaning without sounding
ordinary or "flat"
For once the course of true love
appeared to be running smoothly.
The former Omahan returned horn
for a short vacation and spent mu:h

lady of his choice. On one occa

evening a severe storm arose at.d

a long distance it was decided that
she should remain there all night.

fill the air, there will be brides just
as in flie warm spring days. One
who has chosen this late fall month
for her wedding is Miss Katherine
Newbranch, daughter 'of Mr. and

Washington's real vacation sea
son is at hand. Appearances indi
cate that there it to much money
in the world that-the people scarce-'
ly know how to rid themiclvi-s of
it. Every boat and train out of
Washington is filled full, days be
fore the date of leaving, and as 'o
the boats running to Norfolk and
Old Point, and to Baltimore, the
quaintest trip in this part of the
country one has to get reserva
tions three weeks in advance. Al
most every hotel in Arlantto- Ci'y
and the other leading points on the
Jersey coast are filled already for
the season, lherefore the great
throng of less careful people who
have not provided tSemselves with
reservations are seeking the more
northern points and flocking to the

McAdoo were well known and un

the has in the press, as not wishing
for even a chance to become the
