Visitors, travelers and the. returning of the school set to Omaha make the hot June days far from dull, socially speaking. Among the summertime visitors are Mrs. Harry Bellamy and her children from River Forest, near Chicago. They are spending several months here with Mrs. Bellamy's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank T. Walker. Jack, the eldest of the trio, and the twins, Betty and Bobby, are finding their greatest pleasure in the numerous romps to be en joyed. on the large lawn at their grandfather's home. Mrs. Bellamy has been entertained at several affairs, since her arrival, given by her Omaha friends. She will not return to Chicago until the latter part of September. Miss Mildred Weston is one of those who will spend the month of July in Estes park. With her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Weston, she leaves the latter part of June for. the west. They will be accom-. panied on the trip by Mrs. Howard Martin of Sioux City, who is also a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Weston. Among the popular misses returning from schools in the east is Miss Peggy Reed daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Reed. Miss . Reed has been attending Vassar during the past year. She was an Ak-Sar-Ben maid at the coronation ceremonies of 1920. Her plans for the summer are not yet definite. W h at Do When Prima D Tc Off v ? By GABBY DEAR "debbies," and your ma mas, too, , . .

"He" was with her. They were comfortably seated under the trees many steps away from the club house. The moon was unusual . ly beautiful, and then the obnoxious second couple came strolling into vision. Miss Resourcefulness who had been silent most of the evening sud denly shrilled in the night air, "yes, I did intend to tell YOU, but I(can't V when anyone else is listening." The second couple speedily de parted for parts unknown. WE HAVE heard of the unbid den guest, but this is a story . about the bidden guest who did not appear.

' Tick-tock-tick-tock, 8 o'clock tick-tock 8:30 9 o'clock 9:30 and still no sign of the visitors. Jane's children began- to nod and finally she hurried them away to bed. Ten -o'clock and then 10:30 came and the watchers finally went to their slumber. But where was the Jones family Safe at home spending that evening in the routine way. The next morning Lady Jane called Lady Mary and demanded an explanation. "You did not call mc yesterday," . declared Mary. " The only solution was that the telephone operator had given a wrong connection, but one which answered perfectly to al! the ques tions put by the caller. "What's in a name?" Not much in this instance. iTJAVE you done your duty?" f 1 A war-time phrase? Ah no. The recent bride and groom are most devoted despite the fact that honeymoon days are oast When husband was suddenly or dered south for his health, the young wife shed many bitter tears at the prospect of no entertainment tor many weeks to come. The former belle would have to stay at home and nine away the days in loneliness, But there are no friends like the old friends thought Husband, so he called to the rescue all his mar- sied "Dalls" whose wives are spend ing the summer months out of the city. Each agreed to have one "date" with the. summertime widow. And now each morn some one of the fixotin receives a cryptic mes sage from the sojourner at the southern health resort. It reads thus: Have you done your duty? Mrs. Zabriskie ; Wins High Honor. Omaha now has one F. A. G. O. She is Louise Shadduck Zabriskie, organist at the First Presbyterian church, who received word Thurs day that she had successfully passed the examinations required to win the degree. F. A. G. O. means. Fellow, Amer ican Guild of Organists, and it is the highest degree offered by this national musical organization. Some years ago Mrs. Zabriskie won the A. A. G. O. (the degree of associate) which it is necessafy to have before one may aspire to the fellowship. June 2 of this year Mrs. Zabriskie went to St. Louis, where she took the necessary examinations. According to Omaha musicians the tests are most difficult and rfea! with all branches of music. One e;t is iriven with an instrument, the other without.

New York has furnished Mayfair with the most beautiful debutante of the season in the person of Florence Ellsworth, daughter of Mrs. Duncan Stewart Ellsworth, the wife of the well known New York yachtsman. She has taken London by storm. I have been told she will shortly be present ed at court to the envy of hundreds of other American girls here. Dur ing Ascot week she created a sensa tion with the beautiful gowns she wore at the course when she attended the races. With her .mother -she was a guest in the American em bassy enclosure. Wednesday I saw her dressed in white with rose col ored sash and laces. Her mother was wearing an orchid shade of mauve. There was much competition among Americans here to get the privileges of the embassy enclosure at the Ascot meeting but the badges were strictly limited to 30. Among the lucky holders were Ambassador and Mrs. Harvey,. Mr. and Mrs. But ler Wright, Mr. and Mrs. Law, Gen eral and Mrs. Vanderbilt and Miss Grace Vanderbilt, the Ellsworths and Miss Corrigan. . The. latter has taken Mrs. George Koppl's house in Gros venor street' for the season and is planning many . large parties - for Americans. This has been a black and white Ascot. Nearly all of the frocks at the meeting were white with black trimmings or black with white trim Crofoot Family to Summer On Yacht Summertime seas in the north At lantic are claiming one Omaha group for the coming months. The L. F. Crofoot family will spend the sum mer cruising ' about ' the mighty ocean, in the vicinity of New Eng land. The many quaint villages along the shore and points of his toric interest in those northwestern states will invite many inland ex cursions. Mrs. Crofoot, accompanied by Mrs. W. E. ' Martin, left this city Friday morning to motor to North East Harbor. They will be joined there the latter. part of the month by Mr. Crofoot and his two sons, Michael and David. Mr.' Crofoot re cently purchased a new yacht and plans to spend the greater part of the months in the. east aboard it Dr. C. A. Hull received a cable gram Friday from his wife stating that she had landed Thursday at La Havre, France. On the same boat with Mrs. Hull were Mr. and Mrs, G. W. Meageath and Milton Darling- of this city. OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 19, 1921. ! '0 i. mings. Black shoes were worn. There was very little color seen on any day of the meeting. The parasols were gorgeous, of all shapes and sizes, the unique ones being lamp1 shaped, trimmed with flowers and fruit. One pretty effect in this style was a parasol of white pleated crepe de chine with a large cluster of black grapes in one corner and, a biack jet handle with white currants dangling from the edge. It was noticeable that there were longer skirts in the crowd, some with narrow ribbon and ' lace ' trains.' Enormous sashes were popular, as were glace patent leather shoes with Tose colored heels.

"WhVv 4 'V Q ft Weddings, Important Events of June in Capital Society ; Bureau of The Bee, Washington, June 18. June brides who usually have the center of the stage, are having to divide honors this year with official functions which are ' almost un precedented in Washington in June. The president .and Mrs. Harding still have their calendar full for each afternoon and evening, and, in fact, the president has no rest in the fore noons for he is busy from an early hour. He and Mrs. Harding have given themselves almost literally to the public, or rather to their party, although it is a fact that there have never been so "many of the opposing party entertained socially by a chief executive and his wife, as there are these days, and never .have there been so many of the opposing party retained so long in the office as now. The President and Mrs. Harding and the Vice President and Mrs. Coolidge were the honor guests at the wedding of Miss Frances Hoar, daughter of Mrs. Frederick H. Gil lett, wife of the speaker of the house of representatives, and Reginald Foster of Boston, son of Mr. and Mrs. .Charles H. W. Foster of Charles River Village, Mass. The bride is the most distinguished one of the month. Her' grandfather was the late Senator Hoar of Mass achusetts, and her father was the late Representative Rockwood Hoar, also of Massachusetts, the predecessor of speaker Uillett "in the lower house. The ceremony 'was performed at 4 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon in old St. Johns church across the park from" the White House, and it was not the first time by any means that a president and his family attended a wedding in that quaint and historic little edifice. The aisles are to nar row -that it is impossible for two people to walk side by side. The bride and her sister, Louisa, ire familiar figures in the smart set of Washington society. . Ever since they were presented to so ciety they have been in the lime light for they were bom prominent, and their own social attainments gave them a distinct popularity. They became well known as solo dancers and would have made a suc cess on the professional stage, ac cording to society folk. They were among the few people who had the honor of entertaining" the Prince of Wal.es during his visit here last year, the speaker and Mrs. Gillett having given a brilliant little dance in his honor at Grasslands Country club. The president and Mrs. Hardfng and the vice president and Mrs. Coolidge ' occupied the front seat across the middle of the little church and after-they were seated Mrs. Gillett and the-parents of the bride groom entered and occupied the front seats at either side. - It was a yellow wedding, yellow iris and gladioli being used with ferns and palms, and the bridal party .passed under an arch of ferns studded with the yellow iris, to thehancel. Speak er Gillett gave the bride in marriage. She was attended by her sister, Louisa, and the bridegroom's sisters, Misses Barbara and Hilda' Foster, and his young niece, Miss Cather ine Tappan of . Claybrook Farm, near Boston, was the flower girl. The bride wore an imported cos tume of white georgette crepe ih a court train of cloth of silver i ith a veil of rare old lace sprayed with orange blossoms, and silvery hose and silver . V-- ' 'ippcrs. She carried asL.iu cs of the val- TEN CENTS Bellamy and HOME PHOTO, ley and white gardenias. The at tendants wore gowns of cream lace . over yellow, with hats of flame col ored straw wreathed with nastur tiums, the colors of which formed the keynote of the decorations both in the church and at the Grasslands Country club where the reception took place immediately following The bridegroom has until recently, been attached to the American high commission in Berlin and it was while the bride 'was traveling abroad last summer that they met. TKe reception at the Metropolitan club for the, president and Mrs. Harding on the evening of the same day was a unique one. The presi dent has been a member of the club for some years, and they made their greatest effort to honor their mosii distinguished member. Woodbury Blair, the president, and Rear Ad miral Wainfight, first vice president received the guests. A string or chestra played throughout the even ing and an elaborate supper was served in the jnain dining room, y " Another very interesting wedding took place on Wednesday when Mrs. Louise Goodrich Hubbard, daughter of .Mr. and Mrs. William Gardner Goodrich of Omaha, became the bride of Victor Lamar Smith of Atlanta, Ga. The secretary of agri culture and Mrs. Wallace were the guests of honor. The ceremony was performed at 8:30 in the evening, in the home of . the bride's uncle and aunt, the director general of rail roads and , Mrs. James C. Davis. ' Rev. Thomas I. Small officiated in the presence of a small company of relatives and close friends. Alex ander W. Smith, formerly of Omaha, now of Atlanta,, was the best man and his daughter, Esther, was the maid of honor. The bride wore a gown of flesh colored georgette with trimmings of Brussels lace, and carried a shower of pink roses and lilies of the valley. The maid of honor wore beige-colored georgette with tunic of filet lace embroidered in natural wooden beads and a girdle of turquoise and gold brocade. She carried pink roses. - After the reception and supper the bride and bridegroom left for their wedding trip. They will be at home after August 1 at Shadowbrook, .he estate of the bridegroom, at Suwarce. Ga. Mr. and Mrs. Goodrich were here for the wedding, and Mr. ami Mrs. Alexander Smith entertained at dinner for -the wedding party on Tuesday evening after the rehearsal for the ceremony.
