War TiHrae
rSN'T It strange what a pail the
uords "TfoesdN -, 80. o.

ISN'T it strange what a pail the
words CLOSED" can cast over
everythings Even though the
eater parties are not numerous il is
cheering to know that pretty girls
are dancing and that lights are
bright in the playhouses and that we
may go II we please. We begin to
realize just how much time is given
to war work for with the canteen
dark and cold and the Red Cross
workshops idle time really begins
to hang heavily on our hands.
Life At Fort Omaha is even a bit
stupid, we hear, but with charming
Mrs. Jacob Wuest living at the post,
the tedium is indeed relieved, for
this ingenious matron gave a de-
lightful tea at the colonel's quar-
tiers Saturday afternoon. The guests
included only the officers and their
wives who are living at the fort, to
be sure, but il was most enjoyable
and the guests forgot for time that
= high fence shut them off from the
outside world.
The trains are still on duty, we
are glad to say, and very often they
drop charming visitor at Our
gates. Miss Pauline Hayward has
come from Chicago to be the guest
of Miss Marion Weller aud the
younger girls will devise some way
to entertain for her in spite of the
menaeing Spanish flu" Miss Kath-
crime Baum will remain for another
week, a guest at the Wilhelm home
and perhaps some OF the affairs
postponed owing to the dearth of
officers may yet be given before the
departure Of this attractive girl.
Everyone is sorry that so many
miles intervene between Omaha and
Mobile, Ala, for the wedding of
Miss Anna Damrich and 1t. John
Hanighen promises to be such q
pretty one. A matron of honor,
three bridesmaids and four brother
officers are to be the attendants, we
hear. Pre-nuptial affairs will fill
every day up to the wedding night
and az Miss Damrich has occupied
4 very prominent place in social
cicles Of the southern city these
parties will. no doubt. be very for
NAL and beautiful in their appoint
ments.
Girls Pull for Victory,

an organization now being perfected
among girls from IL to 20 years of
age, to help with the combined drive
