Being very interested in your advice
column, l come to you with my trou-
bles. About two years ago / met a
young man, who afterwards came to
see me quite often: he claimed to
think a great deal of me.
About six months after our meeting
l went away to business school. Dur
ing the school term this young man
came to see me quite often and would
take me to shows. and several times
he took me to dinner. 1 grew very
fond of him and, in fact, was much
in love with him.
One day some busybody told him
something, whether it concerned me
or just what / could never find out,
nor even find out who the person was
that told 1t, but after that he did not
come to see me, nor even write to me.
If met him on the street he would
speak, but never stop to talk with me.
A short time after that ne enlisted in
the army and left without saying
goodby.
Now, Miss Fairfax, l would like to
know just what you would d. in a
case like this? l am very much IN

Athletic Clubs Opening
Takes Place of Ball on
Social Horizon.

By royal decree, King Ak has de-
prived his loyal subjects Of the coro-
nation ball and the social prospects
began to look dull gray, indeed. But
with the opening of the new Athletic
club. the gray clouds are tinged with
rose and we will scarcely miss the
usual crowning of the king and queen
in the midst of all the festivities.
A very important committee meet
ing took place Tuesday at the new
club when the plans for the formal
opening were discussed. The men
will give us only hint of the details
and they laugh tantalizingly when
questioned. We have visions of a
very formal dinner dance, however,
and it is safe to say that every Oma-
ha matron and maid will perhaps plan
a flmy new gown in spite of war;
time economies.
Mr.. John c. Wharton did tell Melli-
hcia that the grand opening will last
for a week and special features have
been planned for every evening. All
summer we have been hearing of the
beauties of the new club, visions of
cozy tea rooms, sparkling pools, and
stately ball rooms, have been filling
our minds and now in the cool, Octo-
Der days the great doors are to swing
wide.
Many women have been heard to
regret that there is to be no ball. for
we all know that all work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy" but with
a prospect in view of whole week
of jollihcation, how can one feel sad?

Military instruction under officers and noncommissioned officers of the Army will be provided in every in stitution of college grade which enrolls for the Instruction 100 or more able bodied students over the age of 1S
 beg:Eung in September, 1918. The necessary military equipment will, so far as possible, be provided by the Government. There will be created a military training unit in each insti- tuition. Enlistment will be purely, but all students over the age of IS will be encouraged to enlist.
 The enlistment will constitute the student member of the Army of the United States, liable to active duty at the call of the President It will, however, be the policy of the Gov ernment not to call the members of the training units to active duty until they have reached the age of 21, unless urgent military necessity compels an earlier call. Students under IS, and therefore not legally eligible for en- listment, will be encouraged to enroll in the training units. Provision will be made for coordinating the Reserve Officers Training Corps system. which exists in about one-third of the col legiate institutions, with this broader plan.
