Lochinvar Is
Come Out
. of South
By GABBY DETAYLS.
THE young Lochinvars s.ccm to
be coming out of the south
these -days. Or, to be more
explicit, from St. Louis. One Om
aha girl has recently announced her
engagement to a St. Louis man and
now it is noised abroad tnat anoincr
. mav follow suit. The girl is petite
with brown hair and ' a merry
chuckle, and is" frequently besieged
for the name of her cold cream by
friends less blessed by nature than
herself.' She is devoted to dogs, and
has decided literary ability. Whether
she will give up her ambitions for
a literary career for a more domes
tic existence, Gabby does not kfiow.
The bold Lochinvar lives up to
his old-time namesake, being tall
p.nd dark, with a certain dash about
him, and an ability, so much appre
ciated by the fair sex, to wear his
clothes like the nonchalant gentle
men on the style boards. Another
point in common with the romantic
hero Of an earlier day is his fond
ness for treading a measure, if the
phrase can be applied to what on?
does with the feet now-a-days while
the saxophones moan. ' At any rate
the young couple arc frequently
seen together at the Brandeis roof
1 in an exclusive party of two. And
fctill more incriminating, someone has
seen the gentleman in a jewelry
store. But then, lots of people bought
their Christmas presents in jewelry
shops.
STRANGE tricks, my masters,
strange tn'tks that Fortune, or
'Old Lady Luck plays on lis.
Everyone at some time in his career
must have longed to read the future.
f to look ahead for a moment, even if
his sounder common sense led him
to the same conclusion as the cowboy
philosopher who remarked, "If I
knew for sure what was a-comin to
me, I might jest as well climb up
and jump off the rim rock right
now."
But we don't feel that way all the
time and the prosperity of crystal
gazers and palmists proves it. If
one Omaha man had been endowed
with the gift of second sight 13
months ago, he certainly wouldn't
have jumped off the rim rock, but he
would probably have felt a bit dazed.
How the gods of chance must have
rocked with mirth on their august
thrones when he invited au eastern
friend to come on and visit him and
meet a "wonderful girl, just the one
for you." The friend came, found
the " girl delightful, and stayed a"
month or so. But like the schemes
of most matchmakers, the scheduled
romance never occurred. . And with
in ' the year the Omahan, who was
so generous with his friend's affec
tions, fell head over heels in love
with the girl himself. What is more,
the two were married at no very
long past datf , and the eastern suitor
who failed to suit was the best man,
and like all fairy tale suitors, danced
merrily at the wedding. .
BY next Christmas when the dial
system of telephoning has been
introduced in more exchanges
over the city, a whole new range of
Christmas presents will be opened
up. For by the laws of economics
when there is a demand there will
straight way be a supply furnished
b'v some enterprising person. In
this case the invention will probably
he made by the same person who
invented the folding button hook
and the f!cecelined shoeshincr and
all the other handy little articles
that can be bought at a reasonable
fK-,- 0&$z&gm

price at gift shops just before Christ
mas. The affluent inventor will no
doubt cease struggling to devise a
collapsible key ring, and say to
himself, "Ha, they need dialers," or
"dial pushers," or some such word,
and then the Master Mind will evolve
a neat little stick about the size and
shape . of a lead pencil. And the
super-human intelligence will paint
some in delicate pinks and blues
with forget-me-nots put on by hand,
and label them "for the bride's
boudoir." And sonic will be'man
ishly upholstered in leather with
brass tips, "just the thing for
"Daddy." And they will be put
rp in neat little boxes with a poem
n -the cover, something like this:
"When you want to call a number
And you want to get it sure,
Just dial with this little stick .
And save your manicure." -.And
the Christmas shopping prob
lem will have been answered for
another year. (Gabby is too proud
to get a patent on this, idea.)
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Gray leave for
Pasadena, January 12, to spend a
month or two.

Settle Today -
These things should be settled
before the passing of January 1:
1. What do you do with your
Christmas cards, after memoriz
ing their sentiments, and boring
all your visitors by displaying
them?
2. What good use can be made
of one ton of cut white paper
that comes around glass and
china?
2. How long will a poinsettia
llant last in a steam-heated room,
when you forget to wafer it?
4. Where, in a three-room
apartment, do you store those
boxes that will be awfully useful
next Christmas?
5. How do you react when you
receive from another girl the gift
you gave one of her friends two
years ago? New Y ork Mail.
