When Can An Elephant
Stand Alone and Why

"How old must an elephant be be-
fore it can stand alone:?"
This is one Of the questions you
might be called upon to, answer if
you were Miss Bertha Banner OF the
reference department, Omaha public
library.
Hundreds OF questions are asked
there daily. All the way from what
makes a red rose red to the Einstein
theory, they come.
In one sense, the reference room
is summer resort. Many people
drop in to get out OF the heat, en-
tertaining themselves with stereo-
scopic views OF Egypt, India, South
America, New York City and other
interesting places. The views, which
are double pictures, are filed away
in boxes, looking like shelved books
as they stand in their place. You
remember the sterescope you used to
have on the "parlor" table alongside
the family album and the abalone
shells. A small optical instrument it
was with two-eye glasses, sliding.

handle dropping down which you
clutched with the left" hand while
sliding the picture along with the

The majority Of visitors to this
valuable department, however, are
students, school pupils, club mem-
bers or professional men of the city
whose own libraries do not contain

able at this institution. -...--..

About the middle CT the month it
is planned that dinner dances at the
Athletic club will be resumed for
the winter season.
The wedding of Miss Dorothy
Balbacll and DR.. Edwin Davis will
take place September 20. ~.
The biggest event, however, of
September, will be the Coronation
ball OF Ak-Sar-Ben, which comes
on the Esd OF the month. The affair
will be followed by suppers at the
various clubs.
September "a marks the closing
of Happy Hollow club.
A week later, October /, Miss
Eleanor McGilton and James Ed
ward Connor will be married.
This date will also bring the f.
nal dances of the season at Field
and Country clubs.
One Of the early musical affairs
will be the recital of StaVslav Le-
tovsky at the Fontcnelle October 4.
Another will be the presentation
OF the Scott Grand Opera company
at the auditorium on Thursday, Oc-
tober IS, by the Tuesday Musical
club.
The wedding OF Miss Catherine
Hastings and Byrne Holmquist will
take place October 19.
The University club will probably
resume its dinner dances the latter
part Of the month.
These are, Of course, but a few
of the many events scheduled to
keep society folk on the "go" dur.
ing the autumn. There are numer-
Gus weddings for which the dates
have not yet been set and with the

The reference library is not only

also a passing show. Requests this

at the reference desk.

NUT in the woods OF Oregon,
| s. miles from a railroad, lives
~ young mother with her three
beautiful children. The place is a
soldiers homestead taken by her
husband, whose business keeps him
away from his family except for
occasional week-ends.
Poor girl, you say? Poor girl
indeed, if she were dependent upon
the latest movie, the current back
door gossip or the newest thing in
gowns for happiness. But this
woman can see. and hear and her
children are learning to. do the
same. For such as these life is full
and joyous.
The beautiful gclden-haired $
year-old knows it il she finds bug
with more legs than any she has
seen before. Even a circus parade
could be no more exciting to the
winsome, rosy daughter of 3 than
the sudden glimpse of a graceful
deer through the brush; and the
hundreds of salmon trapped at a
nearby hatchery, are more thrilling
in their lives than the antics of
Charlie Chaplin.
Mothers knowledge is sounded
to its depths by the questions of
her little flock. Even her college
education is inadequate and her
husband has sent from the city
latest authorities in botany and
natural history to help her keep up
with little eyes and ears.
This happy family spends warm
afternoons in. a hammock under
stately trees at the edge Of clear
stream, where cool drinks may be
had for the taking. Maiden hair
fern droops over the rocks; blue
flies fit through the streaks OF
light.
They nestle down at night to the
song OF a thrush. And who knows
i; mother, after the goodnight
kisses all around, looks out the lit
tie cabin window while her
thoughts dart back through quick
years to the old family home in the
cast and a sweet tenor voice lifting

Wild notes uphinging."
Memories!
Is she happy? Yes, for her ears
are open to the songs OF nature.
Her eyes see the unchanging beau-
ties of life. She lives deeply and
fully.
We see what we want to see and
hear what we want to hear, and she
has chosen well.
