Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1916-09-24

~ UPPOSE your name was Miss Rhodes and
you were attending high school, where you
were constantly being confused with Miss
w. Rhoades OF course you would insist on
letting everyone knew that your name was
Mildred Rhodes, but wouldn't you be sur
prised to learn that the other young lady's
Mildred Rhoades also3 Then, when in desperation
you insisted being called by your full name, Mil
bred Bernice Rhodes, wouldn't you be absolutely
fabbergasted to- know that the other young lady's
name was Mildred Bernice Rhoades as well?
This is the situation which confronted the two
girls, Mildred Rhodes and Mildred Rhoades the
whole year they spent in Central High school to-
gether. Both the daughters of we-known
Omahans, but they bear relation whatever to
each other. Mildred Rhoades is the daught of
w. E. Rhoades and Mildred Rhodes is the daughter
Of w. H. Rhodes.
Aside from near similarity in the fathers in
itials the fathers of the two Mildreds engaged
in somewhat the same line of business. Mr.. Rhodes
buys and sells banks and bank stocks, while Mr..
Rhoades is connected with the United States Ma
tional bank.
You can't distinguish the two Midreds by tell
ing which organizations their mothers belong to,
either. 1t is queer coincidence that both Mrs.
Rhodes and Mrs. Rhoades are members of the
Fine Arts society, Visiting Nurse association, Old
Peoples home and Young Womens Christian asso-
citation.
The young ladies rejoicing in the fact that
this year they may perhaps preserve their own
identity, because Mildred Bernce Rhoades is going
away to Smith college, while Mildred Bernice
Rhodes will attend Browne hail. where she is presi-
dent of the senior class.
Most of the young people are now safely set
to work in colleges, boarding schools, preparatory
schools and high schools and the grown-ups are
left to their own devices The first important event.
