Are You the
sleeping ,
Beauty?
By GABBY DETAYLS.
Htcopyhokd, sleopyhtad,
Mr abed, lira lib Hi
In the morning.
Kate her breakfatt from a tray,
l.oafa about the livelong day,
Mom kilornlnir.
Father disapprove, of It;
Think! tha girl worth!oe chit
Just u botlit-v.
"other weeps to think of how
leather treats her darling now
Cruel father!
U. P.
SL'Cll is the cas
home. Oh tnir
the family ha
piUCII is the rase in one Omaha
microti occasions
ily has almost been
threatened with divorce proceedings
because the parents disagree on the
manner in which to rear the young
, daughter, a pretty flapper, popular
1:1 the younger set. At present
Father, Mother and the "spoiled
bailing'' have been traveling in far
away lands and will return home
this spring. So that you may know
who rules this domain, we, tell you
the daughter has not yet greeted her
lather at the usual breakfast hour
ot the family.
BACHELORS are ever elusive
creatures flitting hither and
yon with never a tie to bind
them anywhere. Gabby knows one
bachelor who recently married. For
three years before his wedding this
man ne'er strayed from Omaha ex
cept when he visited the girl . of
his choice in an outstate town
or when called away .on the most ur
gent' of business matters. Nov.
however, all is changed; one weel
he goes east, the next week finds
him west. It seems as though he is
never home. His friends chuckle a
bit gleefully when they hear of his
travels. "It was not like that in the
oldn days," remarked one,. '
LEvT was over and little Bobby
was fealing very, very religious.
In .I..-;., .1..
season he developed a real liking for
- going to church. Mother and the
three sisters had taken turns at teach
ing him his prayers and little Bobby
was not slow at learning. As well
as this he stopped his habit oftising
those little "naughty" words acquired
from his older playmates.
Returned from services one Sun
day morning the youngster an
nounced gravely, "Mother, it makes
me feel like cussing to think that
good people have to wear those dam
.. big wings when they die. I, I'd sure
ktber .wear horns," ''
TH-E wind blew discouragingly
around the corners; it whined
, through trees and chilled the
. huds and blossoms, not to mention
'dabby,, who stood near the church
. door.
A pretty "little girl came mincing
up the walk. "Ugh," we shivered,
how cold the looks.1 The child's
mother must be foolish." Shiny
patent leather pumps, thin hose, a
brightly-colored silken dress, a sum
mery sport sweater, a straw hat and
a liuec hair ribbon made up this
June-time costume. Again we shiv
ered and trowned, disapprovingly. .
The child passed, head tip high, a
satisfied smile on. her lips, all un
conscious of the price tag dangling
on the sweater belt .- f '
, . Gabby smiled, and why shouldn't
' the youngster be dressed up even
(-though the wind-was cold. It was
- Easter Sunday!
SMALL Robert and smaller Tom,
sons of Mr. and Mrs. E. C Ep
. sten, were gazing at a newspaper
when their attention was suddenly
-ffr!i-tt ntintnoranh. It was of
lour, little Rockefeller boys and their
governess strolling along Fifth avenf
tie in New York. ; w - '' '' ' .-
Spoke up Tom. "Say, wouldn't it
be great to hav as much money as
they have. Gee, we could have an
ice cream cone every minute."
Robert pondered this announce
ment for some time and then drawled,
"Aw, I dunno. Just think of wearing
a stiff collar all the time and then
they have to have that woman tagg
ing 'em everywhere all day long."-
46 A NE rcallv aren't you going
- l away yet? . the caller asked
her hostess, a -prominent
matron who is soon to go on an east
, em trip. At the reply. "No," the
former's face assumed an air of res
ignations - ' :
"But I understood you Mere to
leave in about two or three days f6r
the east." protested the said caller
Our hostess laughed good natur
cdly. then explained: -
"Everr one of our friends .wb.9
bus called to speed us on the" way.
lias seemed . genuinely disappointed
that we are not leaving" until next
' month. Those who hate visited us
iook so discouraged when they re
alize that they must again come to
bid us adios that I myself wish we
wert- geme. Whenever I- see that
look on the face of An acquaintance
every reticle of conceit instantly
vanishes.
T
HE society editor laughed as she
1 ;i,. 't.l.Ahnn. "I
-- talking to a woman " she said,
wiio tola me sne was giving a uanc
ing party Wednesday evening. (We
will call . her Mrs. Jackson.) "Is
Mr, Jackson entertaining with you,
Mrs. Jackson," the society editor
asked, since it was an evening .party
and a dancing party at that
"No he isn't. I ain't-got no Mr.
Jackson," the lady replied shortly.
HEARD aftr the Sinclair Lewis
lecture:
"Yes, I liked this man, but
1 rfitl so enjoy Drinkerton."
Gabby wonders if she liked
"Uicstwater" as well.

Junior Humane
Exhibits Pet;
n. " Animals "
, The first Junior Humane society
was organized over a year ago by
Walter Armbrust, son of ' William
Armbrust. Walter, 11, is a pupil in
.the Vinton school.
: When an old horse owned by the
Armbrusts reached the stage where
he Svas no longer able to work, Wal
ter saw-the' need of giving helpless
animals protection and care. He im
mediately joineed the Humane so
ciety -and then .organized a Junior
club with six members. For the past
year the boys have been holding bi
weekly : meetings, sponsored " by
Hazel Armbrust
'.Recently :the cfub gave an animal
show, with pet dogs, cats, rabbits,'
chickens, .canariesj ducks and a coyote
taking part. The: ducks were . the
most , remarkable entrants . n this 1
show, having been hatched under the
friendly warmth of ''the little brown
jug." Walter' had a hen which he
had prevailed upon to hatch V some
duck eggs, but' the hen died before
the job, was finished.'" Walter' filled "a
jug with ; hot water, - put - sand" all
around jt and placed the eggs in the
warm - sand. And, ' lo ! beforemany
days eight lovely .ducklings, was-the
result. These ducks, entered in the
show, when "full grown," created much
interest "on : account -of their history.

Concerning
Capital's .
Society
I Bureau of The Bee,
Washington, April 16.
. Washington's spring season had a
; re-awakening this week, after a little
! recess, due largely to the recess oi
jcongress, the absence of Mr.
; Hughes, wife of the secretary o?
i state, and of several other cabinet
hostessfs.
Mrs. Hughes has returned and sh
and the secretary arc already in their.
Eighteenth street home, where they
entertained at dinner last evening in
honor of the former premier of
France, M. Rene Viviani.
Almost every civilized nation has
been represented at the various chat
ity balls which have made this sea
son in .Washington unprecedented.
This week it is the Russian, beintf
Russian Relief week. The bail
which inaugurated the campaign for.
the relief of suffering Russia, given
I in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Breck
! inridge Long on Tuesday evcnlnf,
was quite the most beautiful, moSI
exclusive and most brilliant in every
way of any yet gives.
The house, which was built by the
late Mrs. Franklin MacVeagh as a
gift to her husband, who was then
secretary of the treasury, is wonder
fully adapted for such entertainment
l and is a marvel of beauty and his
j torio interest. Mrs. Robert Lansing,
I we of the former secretary of state;
Princess Cantacuzcne. formerly Miss
Julia Grant, a granddaughter of the
late Fresidcnt U. S. Grant, and who
was one of the few babies born irf
the White House, and Mrs. Borden
Harriman received the guests at the
head of the niain staircase. . . i
Tuesday was a red letter day in
official society, for everybody who
will be anybody in the new adminis :
tration had tickets of admission to
the galleries of the house of repre--sentatives
to hear the president read !
his message to congress.
When the important hour came,
the arrival of the president was
heralded by the appearance of Mrs
Harding accompanied by Mrs. Ed
ward Beale McLean. She was in
stantly recognized as she stepped
into the executive gallery, and a loud
burst of applause caused her to stop
and acknowledge it. She and 1er
little party occupied the front seat
of this small gallery. The president's
sister, Mrs. votaw, had already ar
rived and had a front seat opposite
Mrs, Harding in the same gallery,
Mrs. Coolidge entered shortly after-
wards. She was alone and sat with!
Mrs. Votaw. Miss Laura Harlan.
secretary to Mrs. Harding, who was
in Mrs. Harding's party, entered and
sat wrth Mr. Jess Smith of Washing
ton Courthouse, who is here fof
the greater part of his time. He has
established a, bachelor apartment in
Washington.
Mrs. Harding looked particularly,
well in a suit of pale gray cloth, well
tailored, with a modish short skirt
not extreme in width, and a high
length coat; She had, as she usually
does,, some soft white effect about
the neck, her customary band of
black velvet about her throat with
a diamond ornament, and a large'
gray hat with gray gourra feathers,
all of which was most becoming to
her. " , ;' ' :
Mrs. : Coolidge wore a plainly
tailored cloth suit of navy blue "with
creamy shirt waist, and a small dark
blue hat with dark blue ribbon tied
in a large smart bow at one side,
Mrs. Votaw was in a gown of sever
al shades of blue, in soft silk with a
small turban of several shades of
blue and a huge bunch of pink sweet
peas. -
Mrs. McLean was beautifully
dressed in taupe colored crepe de
chine, over which she had a wrap
of gray chiffon cloth trimmed with
broad bands of chinchilla fur, .a big
loose affair made on the smartest
lines. . Her hat was a large black
one with a jaunty spray of white
lilacs crossed fashion in front. Mis
Harlan was very attractive in brown!
with large brown hat.
. There is strong evidence this"
week of the coming of the "Daugh
ters" next week. The congress of
the D. A. R. will open on Monday,
and the advance guard of daughters
are here being entertained and geM
ting themselves placed. i
.Other visitors f much interest!
are Mrs. James Robert McKee o?
New York, and Mrs. Russell R,
Harrison, and her mother, Mrs,
Alvin Saunders of Omaha. Mrs
McKee and Mrs. Harrison divided
the .duties of mistress of the YVhita
House during the last year of ttu
administration of the former's fa
ther, the late President BenjamiaJ
Harrison. -
Mrs. McKee is the guest of Mrs
Stephen S. Elkins, widow of tho
senator from West Virginia, wh4(
was secretary of war in the Han
rison cabinet, and Mrs. Harrison en
her mother are visiting friends. Mrs
Harrison's daughter. Sirs. Harry A
Williams, jr., of Norfolk, Y'a., hat

Miss Brooks and Miss Kearney,
who had a company of 16 to meet
her, at Rausche the company going;
on to the ball for the Episcopal
Home for Children. Saturday night
they all went to the ball at Barrack
