Golf Popularity Grows
America seems to 'like the "Do it yourself" motto, as applied to
athletics, at least. The one great "do it yourself sport is golf, and the
whole country seems entranced with the game. Omaha, along with other
cities, ha succumbed to its allurements. Fromdaybreak till dark the
courses, both private and public, are dotted with players. Although there
are golf courses at Happy Hollow, Country, Field and Lakoma clubs, and
municipal links at Elmwood, Fontenclle and Miller parks, the supply
hardly meets the growing demand. Lincoln has country club and munici
pal courses. Fremont Country .club has a beautiful and highly hazardous
"nine" and even from so far west in the state as Sidney come echoes of
golf tournaments and trophies. -
Women participants especially seem to be on the increase, and
women's tournaments are more oooular this year than ever before. Thirty
out-of-town players went to Fremont Wednesday of this past week for the
open day offered by the women of the Country club there. Twenty-five of
the number were from Omaha.
Mrs. -Howard Goodrich of Happy Hollow is shown in the picture
finishing a long drive. Mrs. Clarke Powell, Country club, who makes a
good approach, was snapped on a pretty mashie shot. Mrs. E. V. Arnold,
Field Club, and Miss May Pershing of Lincoln, sister of General John J.
Pershing, were caught as they came in from their morning round.

Everyone Speaks in the
Language of His Own
Life Experiences
By GABBY
EVERYONE speaks a language
which- reflects his own ex
periences. The head nurse at one of our
local hospitals was making a sport
s!.irt for herself last week. She
called up a friend to get some ad
vice on pockets.
"I think I will make a semi-lunar
iriciion on cither side," she said
Tghtly, while her pretty blonde
friend at the other end of the wire
saw glittering knives brandished in
the air over an etherized form about
to be incised with half moon figures.
s
OMETIMES when we speak in
the language of our own expe
riences, we are 'not understood
by others.
So it was with a little fellow who
was sent in to the university hospital
a few days ago from some small
town. He had a badly fractured
arm. The word "shoot" among
doctor's and "medics" means taking
an X-ray picture. '
"Guess we'll have to shoot him."
said Dr.' H. as he carefully examined
the helpless little arm.
' About that time . the boy started
crying and raising a hullabaloo in
general.
"What's the matter," Dr. L. finally
asked the boy who had been patient
and enduring up to that time.
"I don't want to be shot," ho
gulped. "Dad shot our horse that
broke a leg last winter, but I don't
want to be shot," he wailed.
Explanations, comfort and peace
followed. s
ITT'ILL" in newspaper parlance
'K
means to drop the copy or
cut entirety. Gabbv "has
often heard the society editor , re
mark, "We will kill Mrs. So and So for
this afternoon."
It ounds blood-thirsty, but mere
ly mildly means that the picture, or
story, will be dropped from the
morning edition of the paper.
fprrOU'LL have to .stay home
Y: evenings," wires used to cry
out to their husbands.
"I'll have to stay home evenings,"
the husbands now volunteer.
What has made the difference?
Time was when friend husband
would leave home for the evening,
returning unsteadily and stealthily to
a sober, and sober-minded wife.
"You'll have to stay homo eve
nings," wife would "say.
Is that the order of things now?
Not if Mr. X. is authority.

of dry but' respectable hilarity. He
had left his demure and cultured
wile at home with a niece who was
receiving a caller that evening
Now instead of the husband re
turning unsteadily to a sober wife,
this husband returned soberly to an
unsteady wife. A little home-made
cherry wine was the unstabilizing
factor.
"I'll have to stay home evenings,"
husband soliloquized.
Its all a matter of the source of
supply. t

NE after another the foursomes
marched off from No. 1 tee last
Wednesday at the Fremont
open day. Each one had one or two
Omaha players in the number. The
caddies sat around awaiting their
turns, listening and talking.
"Three women from Omaha
there," said one caddy of a foursome.
"Aw go on," shouted the other.
"Yuh think everybody's from Oma
ha. That last dame's from Happy
Hollow."
THE day of "Mr. Blank md wife"
on a hotel registry has passed.
The wife - has become a conse
quential factor in her own right, and,
upon hotel records, in her own name.
Leading hotels now require a
professional woman to register both
ways, that is, as the wife of her
husband and as herself. For ex
ample: "Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Fair
banks (Miss Mary Pickford)."
When the wife is the more promi
nent, she sometimes registers with
her own name first, as-,,"Miss Mary
Pickford and husband, Mr. Doug
las Fairbanks.".
The wisdom of this course is ap
parent to anyone who attempts to
reach professional, women at hotels.
During the past winter 'Gabby had
some difficulty seeing Edith Wynne
Matthison, wife -of Charles Rann
Kennedv, because she inquired for
"Miss Matthison."
Xo wonder hotel rates have in
creased. Think of all the cross in
dexing, extra bookkeeping and en
larged staff required, to keep mail,
accounts, telephone calls and per
sonal messages straight with this
complication.
We will soon be as advanced as
China.
To retain one's maiden name is
quite the thing in China and has
been for centuries. There the woman
has the choice of keeping her maiden
name after marriage.' Only friends
made alter marriage ever call a wo
man . by her husband's name, and
very often a husband still refers to
his. wife s Miss Blank, lier maiden

Princesses
Like Che bright twinkling stars in
the morning, the glory of our
princesses of Ak-Sar-Ben pales with
the dawning of a new reign. While
the rays of the gleaming scepter of
a new ruler of Quivera are lifting
above the horizon, the splendor of
last year's maidens becomes percep
tibly dimmer. Then, with a burst
of magnificence, another royalty as
sumes its rightful place in the king
dom, and the maids of last year
fade into history.
On Friday evening, September 23,
in the huge coliseum, the next queen
of Ak-Sar-Ben will make her of
ficial bow to waiting Omaha. With
her will be 12 new princesses. As yet
none can guess who these will be,
but all wonder where the maidens of
past seasons are gone. '
Of the group who served Miss
Gladys Peters, the now reigning
queen, Esther Smith and Betty Ring
wait are the only girls to have
married. Miss Smith' became the
bride of Richard Mallory of this
city and Miss Ringwalt is now the
wife of Lieut. Richard Crane of Ab
erdeen Proving Grounds. Maryland.
There is only one bride-to-be in
the list, Miss Catherhie Hastings,
fiancee of Byrne Holmquist. Their
wedding will be an event of this
autumn. 1
Margaret Wattles has been sum

Abroad v
An interesting honeymoon trip is
planned by George Flack lot Miss
Margretha Grimmel, who will be
come his bride on Saturday evening,
September 10, at the First Presby
terian church.
The couple will go east immedi
ately after the ceremony to Wash
ington, D. C. They will sail aboard
the La France from New York on
September 22 and will land at La
Havre.
From La Havre they go directly
to Paris, from where they will make
a number of continental trips. Be
fore returning' home they will tour
England and Scotland.
The length of their stay abroad is
indefinite, but they will probably be
gone several months.

What little game is this you play,
Dusting your nose with powdered

Lining your lips with a color as

As the bubbling argot you talk?
Strutting along like a mannequin

air,
What are the fancies that flit through
your bean. .
What's on your mind besides
curly brown hair?
We who are older and more worldly

Smile at your makeup and say
you're a scream; ,
Yet we'd trade what we know fori
the light in your eyes.
And swap all our gold f jr your

Tales From Old England
and Glimpses of
Sunny France
. To home folks are coming many
messages these late summer days
from travelers in foreign lands. Miss
Marguerite . Schafer, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. H. K. Schafer of this
city, who is now touring Europe with
a group of friends, has written a
number of interesting letters of her
journeys in England and France
since her departure from this coun
try. The following are excerpts
from letters to her mother:
"On Board the Victoria, En Route
to ' England There is a Marconi
wireless system on .board, so a few
nights ago Miss Cavanaugh sent a
wire home. The operator explained
everything to us and even let us hear
the tick-tick ot the island stations.
"W'e saw a large iceberg this even
ing which was 15 miles distant yet
very distinct. You know it was m
this region the Titanic was sunk.
Also we have seen a number of
whales. They spout a spray of water
wmcn iooks iiKe a geyser.
"Harry Woodward, who is ac

be the bride's attendant. The bride-to-be
attended Central High school.
Dr. Dindinger was graduated from
Creightoii university and is a r.iemher
of Delta Sigma Delta fraternity.

quainted with several members of
our party, played the piano for us
at a concert given by the passengers.
He attends Amherst college and
knows Bob Buckingham. - In fact he
visited in Omaha last summer. He
also knows Dorothy Dahlman,
daughter of the mayor.
"Our first sight of land was the
coast of Ireland. It was very beau-,
tiful and from the ship we could see
the different farms so neatly plotted
out.
"Liverpool We took the train to
Chester, England, where the duke of
Westminster, the richest . duke in
England, I believe, resides. It is
also the home of the Cheshire car.
We saw the Roman walls which
were begun in the second century
and completed in the thirteenth. 7The
town now extends beyond the walls,
which have never been changed.
They are kept in excellent condition.
"The Westminster hotel in Ches
ter, where we spent the. night, is a
quaint little place. I never saw such
a collection of antiques of all kinds,
furniture, china, silver and so forth.
The proprietor told us his mother
had made the entire collection.
"Tuesday morning we .went to
Warwick, where the castle of War
wick is located. It is now rented to
the Marsh family of New York. The
lady and earl of W'arwich are still
living, but owing to financial embar
rassment, rent their ancestral home.
A guide took us through the castle
and into tne pale blue room, favorite
room of "King Henry, the boudoir
of Marie Antoinette, the cedar room
(its walls are solidly paneled with
the wood) and the baronial hall, all
filled with ancient armor. They have
beautiful pictures, some painted by
Van Dyke himself.
"From Warwick we went to Ken
ilworth, which Sir Walter Scott made
famous in his book of that name.
The castle is in ruins.
"Later we visited Stratford-nn.
Avon, Shakespeare's birthplace, and
the church in which he and his fam
ily are buried. We also saw the
cottage of Ann Hathawav. Shakei-
peare's wife.
"Tuesday nisrht we snent at Red
Horse Inn, where Washington Irv
ing, the American writer, once lived.
Avignon, trance To me Paris
is an easy place in; which to find
one's way and I soon became the
guide of the party. Not so in Lon
don, however; it was a most con
fusing city.
"On July 13 we visited the art
galleries. Louvre and Liixemhurir.
July 14 was Bastilc day and was.
ot course, a great holiday for the
Parisiennes. The 14th, we went
to the village of Rheitns. Before
reaching it we saw much devasta
tion. The cathedral is all in ruins.
but one can imagine what it once
was as the walls arc standing. Most
of the damage was done to the in
terior. After our tour of Rheims
we left for Fort Raymond, where the
Germans remained for four year?.
Later we visited Berry au hae. We
passed many cemeteries wher thi
soldiers are buried. All the oravr .
have white crosses, except those of
the GcHnans. which art black."
