Society Assumes Brighter Aspect
With the Approach of Ak-SQr-Ben

~ EPTEMBER, precursor of the
~ social season, is dotted with
more social events than has
preceded it the summer long.
Despite the departure of our boys to
training camps, society is having its
last fling at country clubs before their
closing dinner-dances the last Satur-
day evening of the month. Luncheons
and dinners, chiefly for visitors and
girls of the school set soon to de-
part for eastern institutions of learn
ing, dot the social calendar and a new
afternoon of amusement, knitting par
ties when one busily plies the needle
(and as busily the tongue) for and
about ones soldier boy friends.
Weddings, too, there are in which
society is interested. Miss Helen
Scobie's marriage to Mr.. Alan Nc
Donald, Tuesday, a quiet ceremony
at the home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. J. R. Scobie; Miss Vir-
ginia Weller's wedding to Mr.. O..
Dean Davidson next week, Wednes-
day, at the home of her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Charles K. Weller; and the
marriage, of Miss Lenore Young,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas J.
Young of Macedonia, Ia, to Mr..
Eldred Schuyler Hart, son of Mrs.
Ernest Eldred Hart of Council Bluffs,
scheduled for September q, are

among the interesting ceremonies of
the month.
There is another of which Meilifcia
can only hint "She" is we'll known
pianist who lives in Dundee. Her en-
gagement to an out-of-town man
dates back several years, but, though
few are in the secret, the marriage is
sure to take place this fall, possibly
before the month is out. Her mar
riage will take this popular young
musician out of Omaha for, needless
to say, she will take up her residence
in the bridegroom's home city. 1t
will be very quiet home wedding.
Ak-Sar-Ben season is, of course, first
in interest and already the visitors
for the big coronation ball are begin
ming to flock to the city. The military
idea which will be carried out in all
arrangements for the big annual bali,
in keeping with the spirit of the time,
gives promise of making the ball
room particularly brilliant spectacle.
Mr.. and Mrs. Philip Metz, whose en-
-gagement was announced exclusively
by The Bee last Ak-Sar-Ben week,
have already arrived from Buffalo, but
will spend two weeks on the Metz
ranch in the western part of the state
before the bail. For this event they
will be joined by Mrs. Metz's parents,
