KIT ONLY mark the hours that
shine" might we'll be in
- scribed on the sundial to be
seen in the charming garden of the
O. c. Redick home, for a summer of
rare delight is being enjoyed by
Mrs. Redick and her little daughter,
Grace Chatham, who find great joy
in studying the lexicon of nature
in this beauty spot.
Little Grace is a lover of flowers.
The naughty roses with their coro-
nets of dew drops bend their queen
ly heads to this little golden-haired
maid, the starry daisies wink their
great black eyes at her and the tiny
forgst-me-nots are reflected in her
own. Where great trees cast cool
ing shadows you may spy her, max
ing wreaths and chains of>fragrant
blossoms for she whites the summer
hours away with her playmates Of
the garden.
Even foam-tipped waves and noun
tain zephYrs have no attraction for
Mrs. ReGck for she finds summering
at home infinitely more attractive.
Her chief joy is her wee daughter,
and the two are inseparable COM
panions. Shady boulevards and
country lanes often tempt them
from their home and you may see
them in the Redick car these sunny
days searching for the beauties Of
the woods and fields.
Mrs. Redick has ever been
acknowledged one of Omaha's most
beautiful and charming women. AS
hostess she is delightful and her
abilities have been proven in many
ways. When America was plunged
in war Mrs. Redick was among the
first to realize the need of an ex-
tensive Red Cross division in Oma-
ha and she is accredited as being
one of the originators of this splen-
did organization. Every day for a
year Mrs. Redick could be found at
her desk from early until late for
her position as director of the bu-
reau of supplies required her per-
sonal attention. The numerous
auxiliaries scattered over the city

does not seem to work out that way.
Apparently, the husband loses his
sense of responsibility, the wife
meets many men in a business way,
unfounded jealousy results and the
divorce court gets the wreck. Or,
possibly the wife loses interest in;
home affairs, does not care to estab-
lish home and raise children -

and at the request of her husband. :
This is a rather startling discov-

other day. MANY people have held
that more happy marriages result
from the wife continuing to work
after marriage because of the eco
nomic independence afforded. 1t

X HARM! That mysterious, in

us like magnet toward those
fortunate mortals who possess it
and makes the world a brighter

really hesitates to say it there are
many of our society women who
seem to lay away their charming
qualities in sachet until they don
their party frocks, for when weary
society editors ring their telephones
mercy, such a Brightness and a
none of your business air" But,
really, honest and true we do love
the army. Not for the stars and
bars or even for the uniforms, but
just because the army matrons are
such delightful folk.
They are always glad to accom-
modate you at any time or any
place, and if you call at their homes
on business it really is party be-
fore you leave, for they make it
their very special duty to help you
forget all the annoyances and
troubles OF the work-a-day world.
They seem to expect no favors and
they are delighted with everything
you may say about them.
We have decided unanimously
that it is the effect of travel, for
these delightfully."- refreshing ma
irons who live under the shelter of
the flag have traversed the greater
part of the globe, many of them.
Thus you have the solution for their
broad sympathies and their excep-
tional charm, to return to the orig
inal subject. It's the narrow con-
fines of small horizon that sharp

army set are ensconced on the high

from both the outside and the in
side, Gabby learned much about the
feeling of the Cosmopolites toward
the freak spenders from outside the
circle. The seasoned" one discov-
cred long ago few interesting
facts, and confided:
s'When the spender is a stranger
he readily can find plenty Of men
to help him follow his path Of dis
sipation, but he finds it much more
difficult to get women of the self
respecting type to join his revels.
So he calmly accepts the situation
and let's it be known that the femi-
nine convives at his parties will find
themselves rewarded by such triflc
as diamond necklace or a ring set
with costly stones. It is almost a
waste of words to say that the bait
is sufficient and that he does not
lack for company.
"One Pittsburgh youth-formerly
most OF the spenders came from
Pittshurgh--is still remembered for
the supper party he gave in the ban
quet han of a noted restaurant. I,
was 10 or more years ago but the
event has not been forgotten. There
were 81 persons who sat down to
table with him-l6 women and Is
men. Before the plate of each wom-
an there was a jewel case bearing
the name of famous firm and in it
was a necklace or diamonds that
had cost $4,000. Each of the men
found a gold bound card case and
in each of the card cases was an or
der for an automobile of famous
make. The price of the automobile
was also $4,000. Thus the "favors"
alone cost the youth $4,000.
"But that wasn't enough for the
spender. He had engaged a world
famous singer and an equally noted
pianist and a violinist whose name
is known everywhere to entertain
those who were helping him to
chase the weary hours. He said
afterward that the supper party cost
him more than $4,000. 1t was the
climax of his career as Goal Oil
Johnny," for his health began to
fail soon after that and he faded out
of sight of his haunts north Of Her
hid square.
The jewels he gave to the women
were sold the next day. The women
preferred cash. Also most of the
automobile orders were turned in al
a discount for money, so the party
was failure after all.
The philosophy of those who
help to scatter the fools cash is
still what it was from the beginning
there is one born every minute"
And that seems to be true, for no
sooner does one of them go hence
than hither comes another.
There is sadness, though, when
the spender tries to hang on in the
circles that knew him after his
money is gone. They seem to know
by instinct in Broadway when the
man is getting near the end of his
rope. At the height of his career
be can borrow thousand with mar
Omaha daily bee., 1919-07-20

Vicious ease. When he nears the
end he couldn't borrow a five spot
without putting up his watch and
his scarfpin to get it. 1t. is said the
spender's manner changes when he
sees the end in sight.
That care-free, happy-go-lucky
expression that marked his de-
meanor while the money was how-
ing freely into and out of his cof-
fers gives way to strained look,
and there are times when he be-
comes thoughtful to the point of
absent mindedness. The crowd
around him knows those signs so
well that they feel sure the end is
in sight. Then they begin to fall
away from him and he feels his
position the more keenly.
When he mentions casually to
few of those still near him that he
is tired and is going home for
rest, he feels the chill blast as if
from an iceberg of the frozen north"

BY REV. HUGH 7. STEVENSON.

Jesus commenced His ministry
preaching the gospel of the kingdom
of God In selecting this theme for
the keynote of His messages to the
people the Master appropriated a
phrase that summed up the expecta-
tions which had filled the Jewish peo-
pie with hope amid centuries Of mis-
fortune and oppression. John had
aroused the nation by his call to re
pent, for the kingdom of heaven is
at hand" In the mind of the proph-
cts, people and the Baptist there is
a political ideal that was the founda-
ton of all the conceptions of the Mes
siah, whose coming would bring pc
culiar opportunity and privileges to
the Jewish nation. 1t was natural
that the Jewish people should associ-
ate with their vision of Messianic
power the restoration of political
power The prophets who had pre-
ceded the Lord had pointed to the COM
ing kingdom Jesus when He commenced
His preaching sought first to win the
nation to accept His program for the
restoration of the sovereignty of God,
but the leaders rejected His claims be-
cause of the new ideas which He pro-
claimed concerning the Kingdom OF
heaven. ,.
Christ's program to revive the theoc-
racy and institute a spiritual and uni
versal kingdom was the cause of the
irreconcilable difference that arose be-
tween the Jewish leaders and the Mas
ter. His emphasis upon the spiritual
character and the universality of the
kingdom was contrary to their expecta-
tions and teachings. They would have

of paralysis. He had been at his office
Thursday, and upon returning home
complained that he was not well.
Yesterday he started for his office,

he died shortly afterward.
Mr.. Capers was born in Anderson,
