Society Comes, Society Goes and Romance Is With Us Forever
By GABBY DETAYLS.
EVER make a slip of the tongue?
Ever misread, mishear, forget
something, or write one word
when meaning another?
Perhaps you laughed and let it go
at that. That's where you made
your mistake, for, according to
psychoanalysts who are so popular
now, "they are not accidents, but
valid psychic acts."
"Jf anyone forgets an otherwise
familiar proper name," says Sig
mund Freud in his "Introduction to
Psychoanalysis," or has difficulty in
retaining it in his memory, despite
ll efforts, then the conclusion lies
3!osc at hand, that he has something
gainst the bearer of this name."
This point is illustrated with two
stories.
I.
"Mr, Y fell in love, without
reciprocation, with a lady who soon
after married- Mr. X. In spite of
the fact that Mr. Y has known Mr.
X, and had business relations with
him, he forgets his name over and
over again.
"Mr. Y obviously docs not want
to have his fortunate rival in mind
under any condition. 'Let him never
be thought of.'"
II.
"A lady makes inquiries at her
doctor's concerning a mutual ac
quaintance, but speaks of her by
her maiden name. She has for
gotten her married name. She ad
mits that she was much displeased
by her marriage and could not stand
this friend's husband."
GABBY read these examples and
thought she would experiment
with the first person she met,
who happened to be a business
woman from an eastern city. .
I Mink ot some one whose name
vou ought to remember and don't,"
commanded Gabby.
"All right, I have it," the friend
replied. "There is a reporter who
calls frequently at my office, and I
never can remember his name."
Ciabby began questioning.
"Do vou dislike him?"
"No, he is very pleasant."
"Do you dislike the paper he rep
resents?'' ,
"Xo, they have been friendly to
me."
"Docs this man resemble anyone
you don't like?"
Whereupon the friend burst into
a laugh. "I wouldn't wish his looks
i m my worst enemy," she screamed.
" I Fe always has a boil on his nose.
He has a funny scraggly little mous
t.ichc. and two pointed, protruding
teeth," she recited breathlessly.
Gabby was satisfied. The girl
was too broad-minded to admit she,
di-Jikcd the man on account of his
looks, but his appearance, which was
repulsive to this girl (who is good
looking herself, and rather particu
lar), had assumed a greater impor
tance in her mind than the man's
w , vir . r ,.: . ..,. I
M.NX OI US. JUSl tail I If
member names." If we are
honest with ourselves, we
find we don't care very much
whether we do or not. Ye sort of
"avc ourselves." the mental exer
tion knowing that we will eventu
ally "get'' the names w hich arc nec
essary to our"" existence, so why
lu-lirr oKrmt tlm others? .
The psychoanalyst persuades us ;
that "forgetting can be traced to an :
antagonistic current which docs not i
wish to carry out the - project." :
"Imagine a hostess" Freud writes. I
receiving her guests with the
words, 'What, you come today.
Why I had totally forgotten that
I had invited you for today, or the
young man who might tell 'his
"sweetheart that he had forgotten to
keep the rendezvous which they
planned. He will invent the most
improbablc excuses rather than ad
mit forgetting.
We all know that in military
matters the excuse of having for
gotten something is useless. Here
we suddenly find everyone agreed
that a certain error is significant.
Fersons lose objects when they
have fallen out with the donors and
no longer wish to be reminded of
them. Or again, objects .may be
lost if one no longef likes the things
themselves, and wants to supply
oneself with a pretext for substitut
ing other and better things in their
jtead.
Snobs," says Andre Tridon, "can
not be trained to pronounce names
correctly. This is their petty way of
disparaging people they meet andot
proclaiming their insignificance.
THE little slips, the unexpected
word that pops out (revealing the
innermost thought), the forgotten
engagement all these mental ir
regularities are the straws floating
upon the great wave currents of your
life, showing the general trend of
movement. At least so would Freud
have us think. Not the big events
which we consciously govern, but
the trivial incidents, are most in
dicative. "From what signs do you con
clude you have won the favor of a
ladv,""he asks.
"ii you are a criminal lawyer, and
engaged in the investigation of a
murder, do you actually expect the
murderer to leave his photograph
and address on the scene of the
crime, or would you, of necessity,
content yourself with fainter and
less certain traces of that individual?"
Fatigue, illness and excitement
sometimes account for our errors,
but they often occur when one is in
a normal state. Then they bear
analysis.
The world, apparently, Omaha in
eluded, is gulping down psychoanaly
sis. Librarians say they cannot keep
books on the subject on the shelves.
It is too bad. for we shall soon be
come so "wise to each other,"
through application of psycho-ana-lvstic
principles, that we cannot de
ceive or be deceived. It will be like
reading each others minds. My what
a lot of things some of us will dis
cover! SPEAKING of psycho analysis, it
has been figured out that seven
traits form the most common
defects in personality or ability to

Golden Wedding Is
Celebrated With
a Dinner, '
A dinner was given Saturday eve
ning at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
C. E. Corey in honor of the golden
wedding anniversary of Mr. Corey's
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred G.
Corey of Fairfield, Xeb.
A centerpiece of yellow ' flowers
was used, and other appointments
were in the same color. The ice was j
moulded in bell shapes ot yellow and
the cake was white and gold. Yellow
flowers were used throughout the
rooms.
Attending the dinner were Mr. and
Mrs. Alfred G. Corey, Mr. and Mrs.
M. L. Corey and two daughters of
Omaha, Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Lewis,
their two daughters and .son of Lin
coln, and Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Corey
with their two daughters. M. L.
Corev is a son and Mrs. Lewis is a
daughter of the honored couple.
Other sons, X. E. Corey of Fairfield,
and A. B. Corey of Vancouver,
Wash., were unable to attend.
Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Corey were
married in York ;fl years axo
and have resided there and at Fair
field since. -
"do things." Would you like to
know what they are? They hold
you badk in business. They dis
count your social prestige. They
even wield a heavy rod over jour
bubble of happiness. Here they are:
First Lack of planning capacity,
or being dependent on others for
impulse and direction, the most seri
ous draw back in personality. 3n a ;
system of demerit marks it would
count six. " i
Second To be too easily influ-j
enced by other people's suggestions
the reed shaken stands second in
serious Effects; three demerits.
Third The man who likes to !
show off," who indulges in foolish '
laughter and is too talkative; two '
bad marks. i
Fourth The man who finds it!
hard to make decisions in emer-!
gencies, who lacks self-confidence ,
and is always irresolute; two de-:
merits. !
Fifth Being impulsive and tend-!
ing to act without due consideration; ,
two bad marks.
Sixth Overcmotionality ranks
equally with impulsiveness.
Seventh Moodiness, persisting in
any one mood such as obstinancy or
elation; one demerit.
Thus .it can be seen that to lack
ability to plan or execute ability is
six times as deleterious to success as
is too much obstinancy, and so on
down the line an interesting ratio
of the proportionate size of obstacles
to success can be worked out.

Western Fete
The western spirit breathes over
the people of Omaha and adventure
some blood flows in their veins. An
event such as "Frontier day" at

The Idealist
He walked enrapt
His face raised toward the sky,
He walked enrapt
Earth's beauties closely by .
Ethereal dreams
But lured him on and on.
Both deaf and blind
r He wandered, lost, alone!
And as he passed
Along with heavy tread,
He left behind
A violet crushed and dead.
With yearning eyes
A friend bowed lo whis head!

A Last Fashion
Word From
Paris
Omaha women who have ruined a
perfectly good coiffure by slipping
on a "bookless" gown after the
toilet is made, may he consoled by
the fact, that, accocd'ng to "word
from Taris," thev rre at least in
style.
Mrs. Charles A. Hull who went to
Paris in June, writes to friends here
that most of the frocks there arc
1-ookless. slipping ov
the head and
held in at the waist by a sash. Black,
she says, is all the rage, and after
noon arid evening gowns are worn
much longer, -"especially since the
last month." A ray of hope re
mains, however, for those who have
learned to enjoy the freedom of ab
breviated length, for she adds that
"tailor suits and street costumes1 re
main short."
Though the gowns are black, the
ropes, or sashes used may be things
of marvel and beauty. Striking ef
fects are obtained with bejewelled
chains of gold and lustrous ropes of
pearls.
The somber background also af
fords opportunity for exquisite neck
laces and pendants. .

Dr. Amelia Reinhardt, president of

Miss Mary Van Kleeck of the Rus
sell Sage Foundation and Miss Eli
i.or Byrns of New York presented
the subject of protective legislation
for women and a very keen discus
sion followed at Thursday afternoon
session.
Paper Hats ! Some
Thing New Under
The Sun
T here is something new under the
sun, literally unacr tne sun. mc
paper hat!
A fashionable feature of woman's
costume today, and one which is at
tracting considerable attention, is
ti c paper chapeau. Omaha stores are
showing them and Omaha women
are making and wearing them.
"You can make one for less than
50 cents" said Mrs. Arthur L. Todd
at a local store.
"One fold of crepe paper at 20
cents and a frame at the same price,
with a little paste or thread and a
water-proofing material, which can
be obtained at drug stores, will do
it." she trilled while working on a
handsome white model with circles
or "polka dots" of black for trim
ming. A glance around revealed
intriguing models in all colors, a
brown, with a braided band of the
same color, a nile green with gay
flower adornment, blues, yellows and
on through the scab.
Paper flowers, wool and even jet
ornaments are used for trimming and
some of the sport models are made
without trimming. Long stitches of
silk or wool form another varietv of
workmanship, which can go into this'
versatile form ol headgear.
Crepe paper hats are said to be
very popular at eastern summer re
sorts, the craze for them having been
excelled only by the craze for knit
ting. Flower hats, picture hats, sport
hats or tailored hats, we will prob
ably see them all in Omaha before
a new moon, though the sport style
will probably be the most popular.

M-iiher. in the thought that in Octo
ber thev nny (iiit work on Capitol

time every one who is not in Wash
ington will want to be lure.
Some time in that month or "o-
Ivcniher the great inlrrnatioiMl con
ference tor disarmament will take
place here, and it will be histori
cally interesting as well as other
wise. The delegations, believed at
this writing to be live in number, will
he the guests of the nation, here by
invitation of President Harding, and
this government; therefore a sched
ule ot littmg entertainment will be
provided for them, entertainments
hetitting the personnel of the groups.
They will include M. Rriand, Mr.
I .loyd George, prime ministers of
France and Great Britain, respective
ly; the premier of Italy, possibly
that of Japan also, and of China.
I'oibly Arthur Balfour, General
Smuts and Marshal Foch will be in
the delegations. .Marshal Foch will
be in this country at that time, any-
wav, as he is due in Kansas City
October 31 as a guct of the Amer
ican legion, and in Washington on
rmistice dav for a fitting ceremony
here November 11.'
The intense heat, which has not
remained long away from Washing
ton for six weeks, is still on duty,
making al fresco and ricr parties
the only possible entertainments of
comfort. J he President and Mrs.
Harding had another interesting
company with them on their last
week-end trip to Chesapeake bay,
including Attorney General Daugh
erty, who eschewed his week-end
visit to his wife in favor of the rest
cruise on the Mayflower; Senator
and ,'-s. Harry S. New, Senator
W'' . E. Edge of New Jersey, Gen
e ,.!' Pershing, General Dawes of the
budget system, Col. C. R. Forbes
and General Sawyer, the president's
physician, and Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Beale McLean, the only nonofficial
guests. It was a congenial ar.ri
merry little party, and they had
typical '"Harding" weather. On Sun
day while the presidential yacht was
cruising far down the river, the Vice
President and Mrs. Coolid.crc had a,
shorter trip on the river on the "Vic
tory," Senator Frelinghuysen's beau
tiful little craft, which lies here just
off the Potomac park this summer.
The Frelimrhuvsrns were pnlprtaiu-
ing a week-end house party at their
place at Raritan, N. J., but tfiey"
placed the Victory at the disposal .of
the Coolidges for the week-end.
They, however, went out just for
the day on Sunday and had their two
boys and a little party of friends
with them, returning late Sunday
evening. The Victory is a vcrv
handsome and beautifully equipped
yacht, but the Mayflower is a float
ing palace in comparison.
There is probably every known
luxury on the Mayflower. The
sleeping rooms are embodiments of
comfort and beauty. In each one
there is at least one silent but cool-,
ing electric fan, according to the size
of the rocm. At the head of each
bed, and they are all single beds,
twins and triplets, a reading light
is placed, and a small table for read-:
ing matter and ash trays, etc. The
baths are beautiful and modern in
every way and the wonderful solid
marble bathtub provided for former
President Taft is a thing of beauty
and great size.
The walls are hung with blue bro
caded satin, of a delicate design, and
the beds match the woodwork, all
done in soft gray. The presidential
bed, by the way, had to be made one
foot longer for President Harding,
so the beds are no longer twin beds,
but they match. There is a dressing
room for each and a very luxurious
bathroom. Connected with these
two small sleeping rooms is a de
lightful "cabin" fitted with Oriental
rugs, mahogany desks, chairs and
tables and bookcases. Maps of the
river district are on the wall and
evidences of a keen interest in navi
gation by the occupants. This i

A great living room extends aerrws

it opens the charming dining room

but they have carried as many as 20.

doubling up in the quarters. There
is ample deck space, above and be
iow, and no end of comfortahle
chairs, sofas and couches. The liv
ing room has an exquisite baby
grand piano of a leading make and
a splendid victrola. with every rec
ord worth while. AH these rooms
have been newly decorated and
"done over," the fire lat year on tht
Mayflower giving Mrs. Harding tin
opportunity to put her ow n' taste
and individuality into them. The
color of the Wilson suite was rose,
with ivory woodwork, whereas the
Harding colors are French or Alice
bluft and pate gray. The living room,
or large cabin, now- has its summer
clothes on. which are cretonne with
a black ground and large parrot',
trees and rose-colored flowers. The
lamp shades and draperies all har
monize in tone and color and the
rugs likewi.se. In selecting the fur
rishings and draperies Mrs. Har
