VIZ ASN'T our last military we'd
w ding a surprise? Lieutenant
" Robert Garrett was given only
half an hours notice of his leave
and when his pretty fiancee, Miss
Gertrude Metz, received his wire
there was a hurrying to and fro, as
you can imagine. There was just
time enough to arrange the pink roses
in the baskets, telephone the minister
and assist the bride into her pretty
pink gown before the wedding hour
was at hand. Lieutenant and Mrs.
Garrett skipped away to the east with
out hardly waiting for their friends
congratulations, for there was only
a few days for a honeymoon before
going to Americas, Ga, where Lett
tenant Garrett is stationed. We were
fascinated by this young officer last
winter, when he was guest at the
Metz home, for in his Service over
there" uniform he was certainly a
handsome soldier.
Mrs. E. S. Westbrook has devised
a clever scheme. She has tiny silk,
7ervice flag flying from the windshield
, OF her car for her chauffeur, who has
entered the service.
Drives and yet more drives! This
week we have the Belgian babies and
we will all be decorated with forget
me nots, for beby can't be refused,
even though a sea separates US. The
doughuuts were wonderfully good and
their sugary taste will linger long at
ter the Salvation Army drive is for
gotten. 1t really was a novelty to see
some of Omaha's best cooks lifting
the round delicacies out of the sizzling
fat, especially as the stoves were in
dugout on the court house lawn.
This week marks the closing of the
Field club. Happy Hollow gave its
closing dinner dance Saturday even
ing and the parties were so nice we
regretted that the roomy, big club
house would soon be deserted. Sey-
mour Lake club will close with roll
licking Harvest Home dance ending
one Of the most successful seasons
this lakeside club has ever had. Just
as mellow September fades into bril-
liant October the Country club will
close its doors, for the last dinner
dance of the season will be given
Saturday, September 70.

This is language country anG has been from the beginning We want such troubles in the United States the contention which the of French as the vernacu- lar in the Province of Quebec has produced in Canada The sacrifice involved in the discarding of Yiddsh is nfntesmay small in comparison with the good that would result from such step We do not want poyglot United States, like Austria Hungary and could easily have it if we tolerated the Yiddsh German, Swedish, Hungarian Bohemian Russian and heaven knows what other languages dialects or jar gons and gave them public recognition.

The Phoenix Union High school and the Young Mems Christian association are this year prtsenting to the people of Phoenix what they feel is the strongest lecture course they have ever booked. The course consists of noted lecturers, singers, impersonators and musicians. all of whom are real artists in their line.
 Strickland w. Gillian, who is famous almost the world over for his many writings in such magazines as the Ladies Home Journal, Munsey's, Wom- ans World, Good Housekeeping. etc, comes to Phoenix for the first time.

He has had various experiences in politics. in the ractice of law in Boston and New | York and twelve years service uon the bench in Massachusetts. In music the course reSentS a great variety in both instrumental and vocal. The first number of the rogram is Friday evening, October 4, when the Musical Guardsmen appear. The com pany is composed of six men and they are two companies in one. a singing chorus and a real orchestra.
 Probably the most popular number 1<rv will be Princess Watahwaso and as- sisting artists. She is assisted in her program by Thurlow Lieurance, the well-known pianist, vocalist. composer and student, and Charles Westman flutist.

 Another popular number will be the Columbians, a quartette of beautiful girls, featuring saxaphones, drums an6 various other instruments in their wonderful program, portraying pathos patriotism and comedy.
 The management of this course fec that they are fortunate in securing z return engagement of Miss Gay Zenola MacLaren, genius in imitativ, recltals and famous plays.
 This year it is planned to put ever, dollar received from the sale of ticket back into the course. Neither the Phoe nix Union High school or the Youn: Mems Christian association will re celve dollar profit out of this cours and are only promoting it in order tha they may bring to Phoenix a trul, nigh grade educational program.
