bOCIETY BATTLES
WITH WARM SPELL
Late Brides and Summer Visit
ors Principal Diversion Dur
ing the Hot Weather.
MOTORING IS A RELIEF
BY INTELLECTUALLY /


Late brides and bridal affairs and
summer visitors are still keeping So
ciety alive during this corn weather.
After today there will be lull in the
formal and informal affairs for Miss
Helen Epeneter and Mr.. Albert
busch. 1t would not do to have a
tired bride, for WEAKNESS begets un-
] happiness, and brides must always be
radiant. Miss Epeneter will spend
the few more days before her mar
riage quietly.
A very attractive set OF visitors
makes sin their honor" affairs a
pleasure. Most of them belong to
sat@e younger set, but Mrs. Thomas
Brown of Cincinnati, who is the guest
of Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin T. Swobe, is
occasioning a great many delightful
affairs in the Country club contingent.
This is such an appropriate time to
grumble about the weather. The great
relief from this oppressive burden of
heat is automobiling. But there is a
fly in even that ointment, for if one
wishes to leave the travelled paths he
comes upon unoiled roads. Covered
with dust, warm and listless, society
is expected to be sluggish.
Loyal Nebraskans, however, have
this unfailing consolation. Warm sum-
mer weather makes the corn grow, so
all hail King Corn!

Relative Of Dan Butler
MAY Be an 0'Connor Heir

Mrs. John Burke OF ttiller, S. D.,
and her sister, who lives in Chicago,
believe they may be heirs of the late
John O'Connor of Hastings, Neb.
Mrs. Burke, who is a relative of City
Commissioner Butler, stopped over
for day on her way home from Chi
cago. She said her brother disap-
peared thirty-five years ago and was
never heard from. In her mind there
is a possibility that the long-lost
brother may have been John O'Con-
nor of Hastings.

Ho Hum! Postoffice
Clock Gets Second
Coat of Nice Paint

just when people were beginning to
be glad because the hands and figures
on the face OF the postoffice clock
had been painted a bright red, the
second coat was put on and they have
been turned back to their former
color.
This color matches the color of the
face OF the clock, SO that now il is
practically impossible to see the
hands at all,
The benefit OF this arrangement is
pointed out, however, For the clock
seldom marks the right time, and
by having the hands invisible this de-
feet is rendered harmless.
