No more meeting on the corner FOR
Young women's Christian association
maidens. The 'meet-me- on the-corner'
habit is disappearing and the young
women tre meeting their men friends
In the association instead.
The association heads want the girls
TO have their escorts to meet them in
the association building and contend that
one Of the purposes for which the build
ing was established was TO make street
corner meeting unnecessary. The reeep-
ton room at the south end is especially
the building is kept open until o'clock
in order that the young women may en-
terrain their friends there.
1T is much better for the girls TO meet
their men friends in the building than on
the corners" says Miss Lily Strong, gen.
eral secretary. And they Hre coming
more and more TO do So"
The association is making plans for an
outdoor recreation center near the down
town district at which business women
who work through in downtown offices
and factories during the hot weather may
enjoy a few hours outdoor life in the
evenings.
1t is planned to have two tennis courts
and a canvassed covering under which the
young women may have supper. The sup
per will be put up at the association
building on st. Mary's avenue. according
to order either for groups Of girls or in
dividuals.
Miss Strong says that associations in
other cities make a special feature of
the recreation centers and that one is
needed in Omaha. particularly since there
is so little chance for outings for busI-

and himself were chatting In theh
quarters in the hospital when the con-
versation turned, as was natural in
young men, upon the beauty of differ
ent cOlors OF eyes. One championed
the superior brilliancy and sparkle Of
the blue eye, another the depth and
fire of the brown. while the third was
all for the clear, cool light Of the
hazel After they had exhausted their
eloquence, with the usual effect of con
frming themselves in their original
opinions. the fourth young sawbones

room by boy. The discussion Of the
bond market was resumed once more
and continued until another message
came from the wire room The invest
ment expert merely glanced at 1t and
went on with the conversation.
