TIOSK slips of the tongue. We make them and apologize and we make them and don't know it. Gabby was talking to a woman the Ether day who was explaining that a certain friend had "traveled flu ently." Gabby did want to ask her if she spoke other languages, . but was ifraid the reply would be: "Yes, extensively." H yrLLE. JULIETTE BOULLE, 1 VI a French woman, with sott, I -A- brown eyes and charming manners, has been in Omaha this 'last week in the interest of "Poppy Jay," May 30, a benefit for French children. While she speaks English very well, she has a fascinating ac cent and unique differences of ex pression. Her way of explaining that she has been securing a chair man for the organization in Omaha was to say with her rich voice and a J'fn of the hand, "I am getting a leading lady for Omaha." Madam Chairmen, henceforth ye are "leading ladies." SOME of us answer to several names, but how many of us an swer to the name of the street on which welive? Mrs. L. B. Web ster, prominent in local orgpniza tions, lives on Spencer street. She declares she is called Mrs. Spencer almost as often as Mrs. Webster. Evidently there are students of psy chology who are getting their "as sociation" wires crossed. THE surcease of sorrow. It was lost, but is now found, just like the 100th lamb of Biblical note. One of our loveliest maidens, known for her gypsy-like beauty, re cently plighted her troth to a debo nair young business man. Though we've heard that the course of true love ne'er runs smoothly, we are a bit inclined to think that any kind of love runs over a rocky path. Gabby knows none of the inci dents of this little story. Naught save the climax is hers to tell. The girl was jilted. Heartless wretch, we exclaim, and glare . into thin air at our imaginary picture of the villain. Well, her heart was broken. The sad light of disillusionment filled her eyes and a queer little down ward droop clung. to" the corners of her mouth all for about 24 hours. Then our little miss "perked" up. Downtown she went to buy a jaunty new chapeau, a smart spring coat, a dream of a ruffled dress, a pair of French-heeled frivolous pumps'" and some chiffon pneumonia-wooing hose. When she had donned .hem all. a glance in the mirror sufficed. Her chin tilted upward about 25 degrees, her once somber eyes twinkled and laughed, and the ; corners of her mouth curled skyward in the most Affairs for the Week Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. W. R.

Nebraska of Steele Hyde. - ; of DeSoto, for there is where tha Nebraska chapter began a story connecting the love affair of a for eign court with a state of the middle west. Over 50 years ago a man came to DeSoto, who, although speaking English and several other languages fluently, had a foreign accent diffi cult to place. Theonly information he vouchsafed was that he had prev iously lived in Missouri. , He was accompanied by a young wife, strikingly beautiful, and a toddling girl, a delicate flower of a child. . The arrival of the family caused quite a ripple in the placid life stream of the town, their unusual and ex quisite belongings, the sadness and aloofness of the young mother, an aloofness that not only separated her from strangers, but apparently from her husband. The husband's attitude was always one of deference with a tinfce of servility, as one who served a superior rather than a man happy in the love of a beautiful wife. The curiosity of the DeSotoiaJis was still hopelessly unsatisfied, when, after a trrae the family moved to Fort Calhoun. There they main tained the same reticence and ex clusiveness. Years passed. The child was just blooming into womanhood when she dropped and died like a delicate flower rudely transplanted. The gave way and she was placed in an asylum. The husband grew more morose, more reticent, and a couple of years later. he became seriously ill. Then the secret so carefully guarded for years was partially re vealed to those caring for him. The wife was of noble parenta&e; she had loved "not wisely but too well." a member of a roval familv . of Europe. .In order to escape scandel a husband was "provided" to protect the name of the mother and child of noble blood, and for state reasons it was deemed wise to send ' this ill-assorted - family to America. - - .- The man died and was buried in the little cemetery at Fort Calhoun. There being no one to handle the estate, the court took, it in charge and sold the belongings, with the exception of a large paintmg that no one seemed to care for, a paint ing of the Christ, - One day a man Appeared in Blair," who said he was the nearest relative of the deceased, and claimed the custody of the painting. He did not have much trouble in proving his claim. The picture was in the way and the state was rather glad to be relieved. Then it developed that the old painting, passed unnoticed, or given only a casual glance in the court house as "a queer old foreign thing," proved to be a Michael Angelo, a treasure of inestimable value. As far back as 1870 when Nebraska - ' r . j 1 1 . r- i . ' T" was an imam ana wc oocieiy oi fine Arts unborn, we had within our very gates a gem of one of the old mas ters.
