Carnival Plans.
Social activities are sure to be on
the wane the latter part of the week
as all interest will then be centered
on Baylis park where the Prosperity
Pow-YYow will undoubtedly be draw
ing crowds every afternoon and
evening. This carnival venture will
somewhat resemble the famous
street fairs of bygone cteys, in that
cur little park, with its natural
beauty is to be the home, so to
speak, of all the delightful features
of the affair. . However, so many
new ideas have been worked out for
this occasion, that it can not help
but be a popular event, and many of
our neighbor cities are planning to
send big delegations on each of the
four dajs. ,
' Artists are now busy decorating
automobiles for the monster floral
parade, musicians are looking up the
peppiest of jazz, a committee is ar
ranging to satisfy the demands for
a program of good music for one
hour each afternoon, and with the
general co-operation which is being
manifested by all the organizations ;
of the city, the least w e can expect
of this gala event is a junior Mardi
Gras. Country Club Dinners.
s. Dining ' together at the Country
club Tuesday evening were Messrs;
and Mesdames Harry Van Brunt,

Guv Shcoard of Chicaeo'and his
'Business Women
Bring Noted
Contralto
Those who are accustomed to re
fer with great emotion to "the by
gone days of great singers" usually
lament the fact that "there arc no
real contraltos nowadays." To a
great extent this assertion is justified,
yet in the past two years a young
American singer lias rushed to the
front and clearly disproved it. This
singer is Cyrena Van Gordon, con
tralto of the Chicago Opera com
pany. The brief career of this artist has
been truly phenomenal. Blessed with
a natural voice of the depth, rich
ness and variety of color inevitably
associated with the great contraltos
of the past, she also possesses, the
statuesque beauty and' the regal
hearing essential to the success of
the 'cello of women's voices. When
she plays the role of Anneris in
"Aida," she is in truth a princess in
appearance as well as in tone.
Miss Van Gordon will appear at
the Municipal auditorium on Octo-
bcr 7 in the first concert of the series
to be given under the direction of
the Omaha Business Woman's club,
j Tickets for the series are now in 'he
' hands of the members of the club.
Wild Drivers.
Willie Papa, what is the differ
ence between the quick and the

Fa The quick, my child, are those

After a stay of about four months
in Council Bluffs with her parents.
Miss Frances Earenfight left Fri
day evening for South Haven, Mich.,
where the members of the Pavley
Oukrainsky ballet are enjoying
camp life and with Lake Michigan
for a beautiful setting are having
out-door rehearsals of their work
for the coming season.
The manager' of this organization
recently wrote Miss Earenfight of
a very lovely and unusual dance
which has been arranged for her
with Mr. Pavley, and immediately
upon her arrival at the camp the de
tails will be completed.
Again this year the ballet will
make a preliminary tour of the
middle west before the opening of
the Chicago Grand Opera in No
vember. Three months' later they
will go to New York, and are also
booked for a short trip to the Pa
cific coast prior to their European
trip, which Mary Garden is now in
Paris arranging for.
Washington Society
Bureau of The Bee,
Washington, Aug. 20,
Labor day, just two weeks hence,
will scarcely mark the end of the
vacation season to any great ex
tent in Washington. Congress will
be less than half through with its
playtime, according to the present
schedule, which gives promise of
being carried through this time.
The president has had the infor
mation given out that he' would
not leave Washington and remain
away during that period, but the
information was rather generally
misunderstood. It did not at i'J
mean that he and Mrs. Harding
would not leave Washington dur
ing that time, for indeed they ex
pect to go quite positively, but they
do not intend to stay away for a
month. The plan they had in made
included a short visit to their home
in Marion, but whether that plan
will now be followed they do not
announce. They are enjoying the
delights of another sail this week
end, on the Mayflower and have
with them several intimate friends,
both official and otherwise, as is
their habit on these charming week
end cruises.
The newspaper men inspired the
nearest approach to an official func
tion of the week, when the National
Press Club post of the American Le
gion had a midsummer night's party
Monday evening at the Marine Bar
racks. It was the first showing of
the moving picture written around
the novel of the Spanish author,
Obasco' Ibanez, and though literally
"midsummer," there were three am
bassadors present, each one with a
goodly suite. The Spanish Ambas
sador, Juan Riane, was the guest of
honor. His arrival, attended by
nearly all of the embassy staff and
several ladies of that circle, was a
stately and impressive ceremony. The
Belgian 'ambassador. Baron de Car
tier, and the Brazilian ambassador,
Mr. Alenear, also were present with
innumerable other diplomats and
hundreds of society men and women
in other circles, who formed the
enormous company seated on the
parade ground of the barracks to wit
ness the impressive and thrilling
movie. Dancing, of course, fol
lowed in the "assembly room," "band
room," or "ball room," according al-
brother, Paul, of Little Rock, Ark.,
who were called to Council Bluffs
owing to the serious illness of their
mother, have both returned to their
homes. Mrs. Shepard is now great
ly improved.
W. E. Mitchell and Harry Cooper
arrived home Thursday night from
a three weeks' fishing trip in north
ern Minnesota. They made the trip
overland, stopping'1 at Aberdeen, S.
D., enroute. Erskine Mitchell, who
accompanied them, remained over
for a few days at Whiting, la.
Mrs. Fred Davis writesvfrom San
Francisco that as soon as she is as
sured of cool weather here she and
Miss Florence Reed of Kansas City,
with whom she went to California
in June, will return home. Enroute
they are planning to make a brief
stay at Des Monte.
Mrs. Carleton Woodward and
children, who have been visiting
relatives in Detroit, Mich., since the
middle of July, will probably return
to Council Bluffs the latter part of
the week. Mr. Woodward was with
his family during the early part of
their stay, but preceded them home.
Mrs. H. A. Quinn, Miss Adele
Plumer and Henry Quinn motored
to Lake Okoboji Tuesday and will
be at one of the cottages there for
the next few weeks. Mr. Quinn
and Miss Elizabeth drove up on
Friday with Mr and Mrs. Elmer
Shugart, who plan to remain over
for the week-end.
Mrs. Mary Dailey and her daugh
ter, Miss Adah, have returned from
a visit with relatives in Toronto,
Canada. Mrs. Dailey has been ab
sent from the city for several
months, having previously spent
considerable time in Moiine, III.,
with her daughter and husband, Mr.
and Mrs. Ernest Johnson, where
she was joined by Miss. Dailey the
h.tter nart of Tunc
together to what purpose it is serv
ing. Mrs. Wiliiam E. Andrews, wife
of the representative from Hastings,
Neb., left today to spend some
weeks in Hastings, w here she has not
been for a long time. Mrs. Andrews
quite broke her strength down dur
ing the war, doing more than her
part to aid the great army of young
girls who answered the call of their
country and came here to help in
the government work. In addition
to looking after about 250 of these
young girls, she kept up her day
nursery work, with the inevitable
result that after the Avar ended and
there was a chance for a "letup,"
her health gave away with the re
action. Mrs. Andrews is but just re
covering it.
Mrs. Harry A. Williams, jr., who
made a short visit in Washington
last week with Mr. Williams, en
route to the White Sulphur Springs
by motor, is expected to return
here tomorrow or next day, en route
to her home in Norfolk.

Fall
New Daytime Dresses
Are charmingly unusual reminiscent as
they are of the Orient -with their Mandarin
sleeves and of Paris with Its Peasant and
other sleeve treatments. Canton Crepes,
Crepe de Chine, Roshinara, Crepe Satin and
Georgette combined with colorful Oriental
embroidery, two-toned ribbon and jet bead
fringe effects, monkey fur trimming, etc.,
give but a suggestion of what awaits the
woman who would be smartly frocked.

$50.00. $65.00 to S125.C0

Let us give you a
little preachment
on values this fall:
Trices are much low
er than for years.
Manufacturers are
very conservative and
many are hampered
by lack of capital or
labor trouble.
The result is that on
popular lines one must
patiently wait on du
plicates until they are
made. Therefore, it's
a good idea to make
your selections from
our early stocks,
