THIRTY YEARS AGO TO-DAY


(From the Times-Recorder, July
30-31, 189D.
The many friends in Americas of
Miss Clara Mckenzie and Miss Lewis,
both of Montezuma, gave a very
pleasant social in their honor last
night at the Hawkins house. The
numerous invited guests enjoyed the
evening hugely, but none more than
the victorious young men from
Monte2uma, who carried off the hon
ors at the ball game in the after
noon. They were in especially high
feather.
Notwithstanding the cry of many
people that times are dull and cash
scarce, yet the Times-Recorder not
ices that most of our merchants are
preparing to make their annual trips
north for fresh supply CT goods,
Last Tuesday night Foreman Hen
ny Stanfeld had his company out
for fire ano practice drill. This
company has added several new
members to its roll recently, and
gives every evidence of being in first
/ class shape.
! Mr.. Cleon Seig and Miss Jessie
billiard were joined in the holy bonds
of wedlock at Bottsford on Sunday
last, Squire Cato officiating. The
young people have many friends who
wish for them prosperous and hap
pyjourney through life.
/ Miss Name Lou Hawkins and Mr.,
Sam Hawkins, Jr. are visiting friends
in st. Louis.
The many friends of Miss Gussie
Matthews will regret to hear of her
continued illness with a severe at
tack of typhoid fever.
Mr., Hugh Brown is up after a
; short illness.
) The future of Americas is bright
: with a thousand promises that are

WHEN A WOMAN TELLS
BY RUTH AGNES ABELING

She rarely talked Of the father l have
never seen. 1t may have been a be-
lief born of disappointment.
You never knew my mother-my
final memory Of her is like that of a
diamond. cold, beautiful, with a sug-
gested briIliancy, even in death, but
austere.
I've been true to her belief until
this morning-when | awakened and
looked at the intimate bits of silk and
lace which were to have been part Of
my rousseau. / knew then | couldn't
do it. Somehow | must have found
the soul my mother lost.
I'm answering the urge of that
when | tell you that because l do not
love you | cannot marry you. | am
giving you your freedom, Tom, and
it will be precious to you since you
know what a black future you have
escaped.
I'm not the woman for you. You
were meant for big things. ! would
ruin you. | would be making a ma
terial trade. Some woman worthy of
you will find her life's happiness in.

which just escapes the flame.

My bridges are burned. l have
turned from the world of pretense
and idleness to the world Of reality.
A new page in the book of destiny
has been turned. At the top of it is

yet uncompassed career, will | be-
come the pawn Of my own folly?

Old Zeke Perkins sold his hogs the

The goshrdarned fool threw his

He kicked at the pedals, and he broke

He cut all the wires and he pulled

''In oil The laek-lustcr OF realism
we stood on the bridge at midnight
Four Of us stood on the bridge and
we were very weary"
Thus spoke Helen Haimsn Jo-
seph, wcll-known puppetcer and
auihoress OH the marionettc. il was
the bridge of the marionc,te stage
over which the puppeteers had been
bending for hours, rchearsing the lit
tie woodcn-hcaded actors on the
foor below.
The puppctccrs shown in the pic
ture are five of the seven who will
appear at the Brandeis October 20,
afternoon aud evening, under the
Drama league auspices, with Tony
Sarg's little narionettes.
Much Of the JOY and reward Of
being a good actor must be relin-
quishcd by the puppctecr. Her work
is truly work OF art for arts sake.
The inanimatc little figures on the
stage below receive the attention,
the applause, the praise. Of the audi
cnce, although the voices, emotions.
gestures and very soul are supplied
by the niinblc-fngered artist on the
bridge above through the myriad
strings that control the marioncttcs.
All Of them agree that their work
though arduous. is thrilling and fas-
cinating. To operate these puppets
is an occupation OF great response
bility, as some of them have as many
as "a strings, and pulling the wrong
string would ruin the entertainment.
Omaha daily bee., 1921-10-16

The Sarg nsfionettes are the
most ingenious puppets ever seen on
the stage. They are from two to
three feet high, have as many joints
as a human being and move, dance,
fight, make love, walk and perform
other extraordinary stunts IN such a
realistic, fashion as TO make some
cynical critics say they were better
than living actors.
The girls wear a sort OF Chinese
costume, papama effect, with coat
and loose trousers. Ralph Block,
New York critic, when being ex.
planned the mysteries behind the
scenes Of Mr.. Sars's performance Of
the Rose and the Ring, asked the
wbyness Of the clothes. II was d.
rected to notice the little ladders up
and down which the puppcteers must
climb to their work. 1t is no place
for perfect lady in skirts" he said.
Puppetecrs coming to Omaha are:
Amy Hamlin. Maud Longnecker,
Sylvia Newton, Wilson Fulton,
Knowles Entrikin and Charles
Searlc. A marionette musician will
also come to produce the peculiar,
tinkly music suitable to a puppet
show,

Be lactful If You

Happy
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

Remember that when YOU accept
the shelter OF anothV persons home
YOU automatically put yourself for
the time being at ieas, on the social
level OF your host and hostess. This
Is a prerequisite OF our American
notions OF hospitality.
TO be sure. in countries where
elaborate systems OF aristoeraey' pre-
vail the host goes 10 all sorts OF
pains 10 show his sense OF social
inieriority 10 All important guest
who deipns 10 accept his hospitality,
In the Orient this custom is espe-
cially prevalent. and in medieval
England--and 10 certain extent 10
the present day-kings aud mobiles
are expected 20 retain their marks
o! social rank even within the
threshold Of their host. They used
10 be ieasied on n table raised high
cr than tha, OF the ordinary guests
and they had special dainties that
the host and his family did not in-
dulee in.
But in this land Of ours we are
never expected TO do this sort OF
homage TO our guests. II the presi-
dent Of the United States should
honor you with his presen:e YOU
couli do him no greater honor than
10 receive him at your own board
and otter him the general fare.
Remember this fact when you 60
visiting your poor relations or
friends in humber circumstances
than yourself. Remember that in
accepting their hospitality you have
accepted their mode OF living for the
time being.
II your hostess has to wash the
dishes after meals. you, il you are
woman. should never betray the
possible fact that YOU were unfa-
miliar with the intricacics OF that art.
but should graciously offer to as
sist and should do your share in this
work unless you see that your pres
ence in the kitchen would be posi-
lively unwelcome.
The man guest should not feel
himself exempt from some service
in the servantless household. !
know OF western lawyer, who has
since become a governor, who to
this day is remembered throughout
certain district where lie spent

though their state had had suffrage
1t is in extremely bad taste to
dress more elaborately than your
host or hostess when enjoying their
hospitality. II you are in far better
circumstances than they it may be
necessary to wear clothes more ex-
pensive than theirs, for you may
have no others; but they should
never be more elaborate. Never
dress in evening dresses when this is
not the custom Of the household
