""77" : ZKaT" " You Are In For a Big Surprise By GABBY DETAYLS. YOU'RE in for a surprise. Gabby can't tell ' you the woman's name, but there may be an an nouncement of considerable interest some time this winter. She ;is a widow a "charming widow." She has long been prominent in social and suffrage circles and has even won political distinction. We don't blame the man for liking her. We think she is pretty fine ourselves. The man does not live in this city, but he is here right now trying to get a favorable answer. Girls, Took to your laurels 1 THERE are ways and, ways of solving the servant problem, so Gabby discovered when she went calling a few days ago. Her hostess, who had house guests, answered the doorbell and ushered the group of callers into the living room where the guests were already seated. The two women visitors were attired in summer house dresses and canity slippers, their noses were unpowdored, and their hair was a bit ruffled. Absolutely .stunned were they at the sight of callers, but not so the hostess, for she was all prettied and powdered and looked her very best. Explana tions were ' immediately demanded, and the mistress of the househojd declared she only wished to sur prise her guests and therefore had not told them of the coming callers. But Gabby was curious as to the ap pearance, of the visitors; why the house dresses? Ah, our hostess had decided to do some much-needed shopping while she had guests. Be ing out all afternoon, her friends, in order to eat, liad been forced to pre pare the 'dinner. Neatly done, don t you think? OF COURSE,' royalty is ever credited with numerous attri butes, but new ones are con stantly being addod to the list. Miss Gladys Peters, the reigning queen of AkSar-Ben, and president of the Junior league, has perhaps been studying medicine and is now a full fledged M. D., if we are (to believe all we hear. Miss Peters denies any knowledge concerning this profes sion; nevertheless we have our doubts. The league has made the Univer-. sity hospital its pet institution this fall and the girls are teaching the little patients in the children's ward to make pretty colored baskets and " grass mats and all sorts of things kiddies love. One day last week Miss Peters spent the afternoon with the children and, won by her smile, the majority of them followed her to the sun porch.flrhere they reveled in industry. , One of the doctors, entering the ward, asked the meaning of the "pow-wow," as he expressed" it, on the porch. A student nurse, solemn eyed, volunteered eargerly. "The queen of Ak-Sar-Ben is holding a clinic.; SHABBY b'erheard a few days I -r ago a bit 'of gossip which she is longing to pass on. This prominent Omaha woman was tell ing the tale about herself so we have no fears in repeating it. For scnte time she has been chairman of arrangements for a lecture which is to be given here, in Novem ber and as such she has deluged the manager of the speaker with corr respondence so that all details will be complete. Spoke she, "I sup pose when he saw all those letters f from Miss it worried him, for in '.is last answer he wrote that he is on his honeymoon and really can't be bothered." ; TIME was when a woman's happi ness as well as identity merged into the life of her, husband along with the marriage vows. But, ' lo, the old order changeth, as this story of a young bride proves. , ' One of our youthful and successful American novelists -went south not long ago and married a pretty Ala bama girl. Upon his return to New York with his bride he made ar rangements to present her to a priest with whom he especially wished to make a good impression in his new marital state. The formalities of in troduction over, the clfrgyman put what he probably thought was a safe and perfectly conventional inquiry: "Did you have a pleasant honeymoon trip up from the south, Mrs. F.? "No, I didn't," flung back this very modern bride, "it was- awfully dull. There wasn't a cute man on the train!" j tttE will," declared the mem Wl bers of the sterner sex. " "Don't you dare," warns the other half of the British Isles. And why the argument? The men . Of England have deefded to return to sideburns and are making every' attempt to revive this obsolete fash ion. Girls are organizing clubs, the slogan of which is "Death to side burns." The, fair sex is attempting in every way" to show its stern dis approval of the innovation and fa thers, prothers and sweethearts are being threatened with many un-. named punishments should they de velop butlerish, tendencies. In fact, a war of the sexes is raging across the seas artd alt because of the ghost o buried custom is stalking the length, of the land. Onlafla .girls who discusled the question say they sincerely sympa thize with the distress of their Anglo-Saxon sisters and each thanks Her Lucky Stars that Americans never wore any such adornment, . "But, Oh, those little mustaches," wailed one miss, "they are quite as bad. Imagine being kissed by one. Ugh! If Jack grows one you can be sue I'll break ourengagement rastarrver."

Republican Women Although the Republican Woman's National Council of One Hundred went out of existence at, the close of the Chicago convention, the two women members from Ne braska are earnestly working for the election of Harding and Cool ldge. Mrs. M. D. Cameron,1 sum moned by telegraph to the Social Justice Day, at Marion, October 1, though unable to be present, states that nrenrrHner to letters received, it was a great day for Republicanism,! twelve thousand women being pres ent. Mrs. E. O. Drake of Beatrice, the other retiring member of Council, reports much enthusiasm in the state among the Republican women. She says that the recent , Beatrice speech of Mrs. Manley Fogfeen, Btate chairman of Minnesota, and National executive committee mem ber, was the most convincing in argument she had heard thus far in the campaign. Mrs. Fossen spoke also at Lincoln and Hasings while in the state. Fine Arts Society.
