Pretty Debutante
Miss ols. Met

INTRODUCING Miss Olga Metz,
the first girl in the younger set
to announce that she will make
her debut during 1919.
Her debutante party will be
large reception at the home of her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Metz.
The exact date of the affair is as
yet undecided, but it will occur dur
ing early December.
Gifted with rare charm and poise,
Miss Metz is one of our most at
tractive girls. She is a prominent
member, in fact leader of the
younger set with whom she is most
popular.
She attended school in Omaha I'M
til several years ago when she went
to New York. There she was en-
rolled in Miss Spence's school from
which she was graduated last June,
receiving the highest honors in her
class. She has specialized in lang
uages and literature and is also an
accomplished musician.
During the coming year. Miss
Metz plahs to remain in Omaha, per-
haps taking several short trips. She
will devote the greater part of her
time to the study of music. For
number of years she has been
closely identified with the various
movements of organizations of the
younger set, and will, no doubt, be-
come prominent in their various &C
tivities for the year. b.
All the interests of the American
girl are hers and she is particularly
fond of out-of-doors sports in which
she is skilled.
With the first furry of snow, the
return of the school set from the
east, and the merry holiday season.
one of society's most lovely buds"
shall have blossomed into rose.

something of interest for him, and
he stayed" through it all.
There's Bernard McFadden, San
ford Bennett, Daddy Flynn and
Professor Munter. not to mention
Susanna, who has the secret of
health all bottled up and labeled.
and the jolly part of it is that you
can follow the directions of any
one whose prescription happens to
please you, and be assured OF
health and happiness. In other
words, pay your money and take
your choice, but, be sure you pay
your money.
TT you are just bored trying to
keep UP with the dictates Of
- New York and Paris in these
days of rapidly changing fashions
or if you are not satisfied with the
comfort afforded by present day
styles, permit us to introduce to
you THE Harley" And what is it,
you ask. We shall explain. 1t is
a new design in dresses or rather
well, it isn't dress either.
Miss Fannie Harley, pretty
maiden, who has travelled the wide
world over and has written books
and who has done ever so many
worth while things, is the originator
of the idea. Her favorite costume
consists of coatee and "harleys"
of old blue. They are slightly
shirred up the outside seam and are
trimmed with handcut jet and steel
buttons $50 years old. The coatee
has loops of silk cord buttons, and
ruching to adorn it and is lined
with silk. 1t is stitched and finished
with embroidered arrowheads and
the lining is finished with fancy
feather stitching. Every detail of
the garment is decidedly feminine,
aside from the trouser-like char
leys."
This clever young woman says,
however, that she is not dress re-
former. In explaining the way in
which she came to abandon modern
modes in dress, she says:
Il did archaeological work in
Mexico prior to the date of my
emancipation, and covered every
mile of that country by horseback
by .burro or on foot. wore the
knickers that were necessary. Wherr

THE burning question-who

Omahans during the past week. II
is the main topic of conversation
and the object Of speculation. 1t is
causing much more interest than in
former years as there is such an
array of eligible girls, all of whom
are wealthy, beautiful, and beloved.
Indeed, the dear ladies need no
longer chide their husbands in re-
gard to gambling; more than one
of our we'll known matrons has
ventured to play the market" in
regard to this years Queen of Out
vera.
Rumor has it that one Omaha
maid who was overseas in the serv-
ice of her country has been selected
for this honor. She is tall, a
brunette type and would, we agree,
make a most striking looking ruler.
But with all these qualifications,
this girl is not to be queen.
Another brunette has also been
rumored as the first lady OF the
realm. She is rather short and in
clined to plumpness. She has large
eyes and a tiptilted nose. Al
together charming she is; neverthe-
less, she is not the chosen one.
We also heard that dainty maid
with Titan hair had been selected
by the Board of Governors. How
ever, our minds were soon set to
rest on that point as she was chosen
as maid of Ak-Sar-
Only one of Omaha's pretty
blends was seriously considered.
She belongs to one of the most ex-
elusive families in the city and but
recently announced her engagement.
A most lovable ruler, she would be
to be sure; but, alas, she is not the
maiden favored by the Board of
Governors.
She, who has been elected to oc-
cupy the throne at the ball this
year, is a member of one of Oma-
has most wealthy families. 1t is
said that her home is the most beau
tiful in the city. She really is a
member of the royal family as an
uncle was king of the realm. More
over, she is very beautiful aad is
one of the seasons debutantes.
Would the Board of Governors
carelessly neglect to include her
among the maids? No, no! They
are far too cautious to commit such
an unforgivable error. They are
reserving for her the honor of be-
ing queen of Ak-Sar-Ben for the
year 1919.

THE connection between the
world war and the revival of
laces does not seem apparent
on the face of it, yet it is largely
due to the war that laces have been
revived. Of further appeal and in
terest is the fact that it is. because
of the depleted resources of many
noble French families that such rare
old laces are in the market today.
1t is reported that many families
have sent their family heirlooms in
laces and jewelry to the United
States to be sold.
This, in a measure, accounts too

Heart, Beats
BY A. K.

The man insufficient
Discovered maid
Who sang
And laughed
And danced.
And swayed
To the tune of the time
To natures chimes
As free as a Robin
In spring.
He caught the lass
In a marriage net
And dragged her of
To martial den. y,
The brutal chains
OF his jealousy
Cut deep into her soul
His threats were bars
His strength was IRON
And the home he gave
Was a spiritual jail.
One day Prince Charming
Sauntered along
With light in his eye
A Tilt in his voice
And implored her
To 20 his way. 81
Her prison she wrecked
And her jailer she left
To fly
With the other mate.
Long years slipped by
But no cage he made
For his wild-wing bird
Who sang again
Gust a temple of affection-}
A corrall he built
OF truth and trust
Through which his prize
Never flew
And he placed a halo
Around her heart
That no thief
Could break through.
He lassoed her
With Loves lariat
And held her fast
With a smile.
Such is the way
With man and maid
Nothing holds love
But love.

It Is Not Always Easy.

To apologize.
To begin over.
To take advice.
To admit error.
To be unselfish.
To be charitable.
To face a sneer.
To be considerate
To avoid mistakes.
To keep on trying. g..
To profit by mistakes.
To forgive and forget.
To think and then act.
To keep out of the rut,
To make the best of little.
To shoulder deserved blame.
To subdue an unruly temper.
To maintain a high standard.
To recognize the silver lining.
But it always pays.-From the
