She sprang up, genuinely glad for
the interruption, startled at the in
timacy which had grown over them.
She felt annoyed, angry at herself,
for the ease with which she had re-
vealed herself, resenting also the inn
personal quality of his curiosity, so
utterly devoid of any tribute to her.
No one had ever approached her in
that attitude.
"He thinks / am only child" she
thought impatiently.
She determined, she did not know
exactly why, that she would give
him no further opportunity. When,
later in the evening, he came up to
ask her to dance, she refused.

Clarke Powell, Returning from
Chicago, Says Many Cars Of
Latest Designs Not
Yet Ready.

Clarke G. Powell has returned
from Chicago filled with enthusiasm
for a greater automobile show than
ever at the Omaha Auditorium,
March 10 to IS.
There was a tremendous attend
ance at the Chicago show this week, /"
said Mr.. Powell. The Chicago
dealers did themselves proud, this
being the first time they handled the
show themselves.
With very few exceptions-minor
exceptions-every exhibit in the
Chicago exhibition will be in the
Omaha show. Every car OF reputa-
ton will be shown here, and fur
Their than that, more factory repre-
sentatives will be here this year
thanat any previous Omaha show
Waiting For Omaha Show.
II found that fewer dealers from
this territory attended the Chicago
show. This proves that they are
waiting for the Omaha show, which
will be just as complete as any given
in the country. The dealers have
found they can do better here than
elsewhere.
Prospective car owners will get
better service here than at any other
show. They can see just as many
cars in Omaha as they could have
seen at the Chicago show. And they
can see them without so much
tramping around.
Our lighting system will be twice
as powerful per cubic foot as in the
Chicago show rooms.
Also, one was impressed with the
lack of new designs, new models
any new stuff-at the Chicago show.
The factories haven't had time to
perfect new ideas since the war end
ed. But Omaha will have the ad-
vantage of getting the new things in
March" ....'

"VIRTUOUS WIVES"
Owen JOhnuOn's Sparkling Society Novel,
which is making such hit in the movies.
Copyright, 1915, By Little, Brown 4 Col

give more time TO them, your dear.
est rivals, than to your own family
You will have a sort of collective
morality. You find Irma surround
ed by a collection of young fetch
and-carrys. You'll establish your
own brigade or try to steal hers
from her. You'll firt as Irma
hirts. You'll dare as Irma dares
You'll beak the conventions as Trina
breaks them,
why always Irma?"
ooh, Irma is the perfect type of a
society model. She has wit, she has
taste, and she has a thorough in
stinct for avoiding the ice where il
begins to grow thin. She is thorough
ly convinced of the innocence of all
her intentions-in fact, she is quite
capable of founding a school of mod
ern social philosophy"
Aren't you making us out very
immoral persons"
Immoral? OF course" he said
cheerfully. you are all profound
ly immoral, but not in the sense you
attach. You are immoral because
you are irresponsible, because you
are not really necessary. Immoral
in another sense-nol That's the
worst and the best of you. You
avoid great emotions. They are too
disturbing, and you can't take the
time in society. You seek safe little
emotions-to be constantly amused.
The strongest emotion Irma has is
jealousy of Gladys Challoner. They
spend their lives attacking each 9TH
er, poaching on each others pre-
serves. They outrival each other in
display; they are indispensable to
each ther; they call each other up
on the telephone every morning and
tear each other to pieces every
night. Do you think any man can
compete with the strength of such
an attachment" He stopped,
laughed as a man who verges on an
epigram, pleased at his discovery.
Gladys is moral lightning-rod to
Irma-it's what keeps her moral, in
the ordinary sense of the word"
Womanlike, while listening to this
diatribe, delivered half playfully,
half seriously, she was seeking the
personal explanation. Was he still
in love with Irma Dellabarre? At
the thought that this might be the
reason of the satire, she felt a sharp
pinch of annoyance which caused
her to say acidly,
And this is what | am to become?
Thank you. You have very bad
opinion of me-"
81? Not al all! You'll see-so-
ciety needs you. You will be one of
its martyrs. You must be admired,
initiated, and torn to pieces regu-
larly, or society would be very dull
place. In a year or two, when | come
back again, | shall hope to be your
very good friend. Who knows, when
next we meet, / may be foolish
enugh to lose my headr'
She laughed at the casual way he
declared this impertinence, as
though offering her an atoning COM
pliment.
Even with all your wisdom?S
"Oh, the wisest is the most vuls
nerablew
You know, I should be very
angry at you, but you have the most
amusing way of saying the most inn
possible things. Tell me, why do>you
talk to me like this? Is it Just to
amuse YOURSELF" ....

said, with a smile.

The situation amused him, nor
was it new He looked at her with
a slanted, quizzical glance and be-

pertinence and light good humor
with which he knew how to make
acceptable the most personal dis
| QUESTION.
Because you are destined to be-
come a professionally beautiful wo-
man, like Mrs. Challoner over
there" He nodded toward the dane
ers, who flashed across the doorway
and, with an assumption of imper-
sonality, continued: If l were seek
ing to compliment you, would not
put it in the future. You are not
there yet. You are on the threshold.
There is whole art to acquire-or
a profession, as you wish. That's
what interests me about you-what
is coming. To me, every beautiful
woman is a potential tragedy"
In what way" she said, too in
terested to be self-conscious.
A tragedy to those she consumes
and exhausts." He drew back, study
ing her with more interest as he be-
came interested in the subject. "Ycu
see, beautiful woman-the profess
sionally beautiful kind-quite a dis
tinction, you KNOWS a social ad-
venturer. She arrives as self-made
men arrive; there is much in COM
mon between them. He smiled,
adding more lightly: Il suppose at
the present moment you have made
all sorts of good resolutions and
you believe in them. Futilityl
Throw them awayl You are
doomed, my dear Mrs. Forester.
Society needs you. You will rule it
and be its slave. You don't believe
me?'
Il should not let him be talking
to me this way" she thought, "and
yet it is quite impersonal." Her
curiosity was aroused at the half
serious, half-humorous way in which
ne dissected her. Was he only anus

she said
"A what?"
"A will of my own"
You will have fashions of CON
ducts, fashions of thinking, but will
that does not exist! A profess
sionally beautiful woman must al
ways be in style. She dresses, acts
and thinks as other beautiful women
do-because her life is to compete
with them, and to compete with
them she must attack them on their
own territory. You are not con-
WINGED? Look at the dear things
tonight" He treasured himself with
a glance as to the modesty of his
companions decollete and indicated,
with a wave of his hand, the daring
shoulders and threats of the dancers,
adding: Women, women, you are
a perpetual delight You are I'M
fashionable. If you had suggested
five years ago, to any woman pres
ent that she would come to dress
like this, how indignant she would
have beenl You may have the same
feeling tonight-but next year you
will do what Irma and Mrs. Chal-
Toner do, because they do it."
Amy, thinking of her cerise gown
which Andrew had found too dar-
ing, laughed guilty..

"You don't think / am now, Their" "

Double Triangle" Drive to

The Y. M. c. A. and the Y. w. C.

raise their annual budgets as a
measure of economy in time and
energy. A large majority Of the

sociations are identical, and the mat

Illogical and proper thing to do. The

The official dates of the campaign,
known as the Double Triangle"
campaign are February 3, 4, and S,
but all this week 20 teams from the
Y. M. c. A. alone have been quietly
working in various parts of the city
The regular work of the Y. NJ. C..
A. plays a vital work in the life of
the city. Founded in Omaha in
1868 by Robert Weidensall, it has
grown from modest beginnings to
its present proportions, when as
many as $500 to 5000 persons pass
through its doors every day.
