Miss Kiplinger
At Home for
Semester

IGAIONE knew him but to love
IN him, none named him but
to praise" might we'll be
said OF Miss Dorothy Kiplinger, one
OF Omaha's most beloved girls.
SSunshine" is the name her father,
Q. D. Kiplinger, has given to her
since childhood.
Miss kiplinger has attended St.
Mary's college at Notre Dame. Ind,
for the past three years and pursued
classical course, including Ian
guages, literature and sciences.
OwingLto the fact that her mother
suffered severe injury last year,
Miss Dorothy decided to remain at
home during this first semester.
She will probably return to school
in February, preparatory to receiv-
ing the degree Of Bachelor of Arts.
She was one of the IL Omaha
girls who attended Miss Helen
Murphy, the 18th queen of Ak-Sar-
Ben, on the evening of the Corona
ton ball. Each years debutantes
seek eagerly for this honor, which
is conferred only upon Omaha's
most beautiful and lovely young
girls.
AS to what this attractive maiden
will do when she is graduated from
school is as yet undecided. Future
events will shape her plans.
AS member Of the younger set
during the coming season she will
take part in ali their activities. She
is especially interested in such or
CARNATIONS as the Junior league
and works faithfully for the cause.
She is also a member of other clubs
which are prominent in various
lines Of endeavor.
There is an elusive, will-o'-the-
wisp characteristic in her person
atty which persistently dehes de-
scription. The trite phrases,
charming and sweet do not apply.
A new term must be coined before
her character may be portrayed.
Tall and fair, she seems the re-
incarnation of Grecian goddess.

scraps with my grocer, butcher and
other tradespeople. This would give
me an hour or two off day, how,
ever, were it not for the fact that
we are building. (Confidentially,
we expect to land in the poor
house.)"
In still lower tone she added:
"And, speaking Of building,
everything is SO high that ] respect

Was she witty or wise? Both,
we think.

but in twos and threes. One
instance of this came to light just
recently when two handsome young
brothers were discovered to be
"-ushing"' two sisters. The affairs
begain when the four were in high
school and are poisoning out into
full bloom.
The older brother is one of the
daredevil type and was in the avi-
alton corps during the war. How
ever, he has abandoned the "flying
game" to become an attorney. The
younger of the two will soon begin
his studies preparatory to becoming

The girls are very attractive and
clever, one especially talented in dra-
mates and the other in dancing.
Friends have been watching this
group with the greatest of interest
and wagers of candy and flowers
against anything and everything
have been. made.

nlances or just cases" which will

TINE odor OF sweet-scented row.
crs, the silvery light OF the
moon, the shadows of the gen.
thy swaying trees, and soft words
are generally supposed to be the
component parts of proposal. The
knight tensely tells the lady fair
of his love and when he dares to
ask the question, she shyly answers
yes" Novels, both best sellers
and the old favorites, have conveyed
this impression, and girls are rudely
awakened from their dreams when
they receive their first proposal.
How is it done in this age, then,
you askf There is nothing at all
picturesque about the way the young
men of today go about the serious
business of becoming engaged. Be-
fore they commit themselves to
words, they carefully investigate the
girls ability as a cook. In some
manner they sample her pies. cakes,
cookies, and the like. If these ar.
ticles are found to be satisfactory,
the cavalier makes all haste to say
the word. Does romance enter into
it in the least? No, no, indeed.
What kind of scene does he choose
for the dramatic moment? A
crowded street, under a brilliant arc
light, or surrounded by a group Of
chattering friends whose ears are
eager to catch each word, are the
usual places.
What awful disadvantages, you
exclaim! Yes, but there is one de-
cided advantage. Should the young
man grow dull and seek new love,
the girl may remember that she has
witnesses for a breach of promise
suit.
