w when she reads in the So
ciety columns of the "house
guests" OF various and sundry host
ages? She has tried to suppress this
giggle, each time, in its infancy but
to no avail. Occasionally it creeps
through the columns of her own
making then the giggle turns
to wrath. She has tried in vain to
figure out the exact meaning of
"house guest" but the thinking,
which is done in a circle, brings
her back to the beginning. She
ne er has been able to solve the
mystery concerning the identihcz-
ton of this particular kind or brand
or make OF guest SO she has taken it
for granted that the words "house
guest" is used to distinguish these
favored visitors from the barn or
garage guests. A clearer definition
will be welcomed.
WYE HEAR of so many of these
w school day romances which
y begin in kindergarten and
which eliminate in marriage after
college days are past. Another one
is, however, coming to. light and
Gabby has been told that the we'd
ding is but two short months away.
The girl is the daughter of a we'll
known business man, whose bust
ness it is to make lovely wedding
bouquets and the like; therefore,
daughter should have wonderful
flowers at her wedding. She is
small and blonde and has gray-blue
eyes. Her hance is very little taller
than she is and is decided bru-
nette type. He is promising young
chemist in the city. Just wait; Cab
by is trailing the girl and we have
no doubt but that the announcement
will be made in the near future.
NH, the army life, the army
life-that is the life for me
NOT to lead Gabby became
entangled in terrible net recently
while talking with a colonel's daugh-
ter's mother (what relation is the
latter to the colonel?) Gabby re-
marked that there were two beau-
tiful girls, engaged n'everything, to
two former lieutenants. and that
these girls were both colonel's
daughters, and how lovely it would
be to, but wait a minute. A
voice hot with indignation flashed
back overs the telephone, full of rep
rinand and impatience. "But | was
born in the army, the colonel was
born in the army--we are regular
army people, while the other colonel
you mention has only been in since
the Spanish-American war" 1t
was not the army matron's words,
but the voice which told the true
state of mind. The tone conveyed
more meaning than a thousand
words. She did not consider herself
in class with the colonel who had
been in the army but Il years
Gracious nol-although but We
might mention that he is at least
of age in the army and entitled to
a full vote. Knowing more or less
OF both families Gabby is forced
to wonder II there isn't somewhat
of a handicap attached to being
born in the army.
~ ABBY'LL git you if you don't
VT watch out. Just remember,
~ if there is a skeleton hidden in
the family tree or if you aren't just
behaving as you should, Gabby is
certain to hear of it. No one knows
lust how Gabby finds out all the
gossip; nevertheless, find it out she
does!
Out in the western part Of the
town one pair of cooling doves have
thought to keep their plans secret,
but flying past them was Gabby
with her hawks eyes and ears and
now she knows. In the golden
month of October they will spread
their wings to fly away together and
will not so much as tell their dear
est friends until after the love-knot
has been tied.
Gabby must not hint too strongly
as to their identity. The girl, how
ever, was one of those in the receiv-
ing line at an announcement tea
given the 10th of the month when
her very dearest chum announced
her betrothal to southern man.
As to the man, you can easily
guess his identity if you know the
girl. They are together everywhere.
You will, no doubt, receive an an
nouncement OF the marriage about
the Goth Of October.

the doctors finish and feel awfully
sorry for them. And that isn't all
the damage, eitherl Think of the
medical colleges that will have to
shut down. and the interesting pro-
fessional fraternities that will GO
with a crash. And when we are
blue, or want TO talk hubby into
sending us to sunny California for
the winter, where will we find an
