MY Husbands Love"
Madge Set Forth on Shopping


There was something SO sturdy ant
eonfidence-inspiring In the sun.tanned
face of Mrs. Bird as she gave me hei
assurance of taking care of things
until l came back that felt my hear
warm toward the brusque but kindl,
little woman.
.arell me-" I said irrelevantly. "how
many times have people told that you
are suited to your manner"
The brownhaired. brown-eyed little
woman with her bronzed skin, and
her smoothly fitting brown dress
gave me a reluctant smile.
II couldn't count EN-" she said
and then, perking her head to one
side she looked hesitatingly at me
for a second. | had somehow the
feeling that she was weighing me
and was absurdedly relieved when she
said with a confidential little air:
Luckily, most people never guess
my first name
It was a distinct challenge, and
accepted 1t instantly.
"Phebe," 1 guessed.
She laughed merrily.
Il rather thought you'd guess
she said. and I saw that the little
woman had an odd little pride in her
name and its fitness. which. how
ever, she admitted to but few people

imagined you to be before l saw

LAS big as house. I suppose" she
retorted. That's generally the way
with names like mine. Yes, Olga"
A discreet tap at the door punctn
ated her comment, and at her per
mission, tall girl with flesh, health
full coloring swung open the door.
Lunch is all ready, Mrs. Bird" she
said and vanished.
The Omaha morning bee., 1924-03-05

The tiny ehatelaine OF the house
rose and moved toward the door.
'.I shall serve luncheon to you ny
self" she said. so please excuse me
now. And-the taxi will be here di
rectly after luncheon

her hint, and hastened back to the
room where Harriet. capable as al

Harriet promised. Not that long, II
there's need for more haste
Her quiet. even voice promised ful-
flllment of her promise, but two
spots of color showed on her cheeks,
showing the tenseness of the strain
upon her nerves.
The Cellar Garage.
Little Mrs. Birds knock at the door
brought us back to the fact that we
were all exceedingly hungry despite
cur anxiety. The children did not do
better justice TO the simple but de.
licious meal which the little woman
put before US than did we older peo-
pie. And then We heard the noise
of a motor car directly beneath our
feet. and little Mrs. Bird smiled at
us.

my own cellar" she said. 1t is very
handy in cold weather-and other
times" she finished significantly.

then led the way to the long French
windows which overlooked the hedge

had noticed from the rear windows.

out from the cellar. Mrs. Bird

After this episode the merry-mak-
ing went on, interspersed with some
piano music by the surprised lady
who had by this time recovered suf-

piano scores.
A large basket of beautiful gifts
were presented to the young couple
by the friends as tokens of their high
esteem for them. These were opened
by Mr.. and Mrs. Seigmund in the pres
ence of the company and furnished a
great deal of pleasure as each pack

E. ]. Thayer Performs
Unique Radio Stunt

E. J. Thayer, local radio enthusiast,
one night last week performed stunt
which he believes has never before
been done While listening in on a
concert broadcasted from the coast,
his reception proved faulty and he
sought to remedy it. Several different
methods of wiring were tried out in
an experimental way, and while the
machine was disconnected from the
aerial he requested his daughter, Miss
Sylvia Thayer, 10 years old, and Miss
Lillian Guide, II, to clasp hands,
stretch out their arms, and grasp the
aerial connection on the set This
they did, with the result that fairly
good reception of the concert then in
progress was heard through their
bodies. The stunt was successfully
repeated a number of times.

House Warming Party
For The Seigmunds

A goodly number of the friends of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Seigmund gave
them a house-warming party at their
new home on Cherry street, last We'd
nesday evening. The party was in
the nature of a surprise on the young
couple When the invaders, who had
gathered at the home of the husbands
father and mother, arrived, they
found only the wife and a neighbor
young lady, who had called to see
that the intended victims stayed at
home, while the husband of the neigh
Dor had escorted the other half of the
victims down town.
The wife was duly surprised, not
in the least expecting so large num-
Der of callers at one time, and the
party proceeded to make merry while
they waited the return of the husband.
He arrived at about 9 o'clock and
found his own door locked and some
strange noises going on inside. He
rang the bell energetically and de-
manded an entrance. The lights sud-
denly went out and the strange noises
within ceased The door was opened
and the master of the house admitted.
He rushed in and wanted to know
what it was all about, thinking that
possibly some burglars were ransack-
ing the new home. The lights were
switched on and loud uproar greet
ed the astonished and surprised young
man. But he soon realized he was

WONDERS oF ME WORLD
DAILY POEM

Just to stasd upon the corner
while the whole world passes by and
to view the types of people you will
find, is thing that's worth the
trouble; it's a lesson, through the
eye, and it sends a lot of wonders
through your mind.
Comes cripple on his crutchos
and he wends weary wy as he
! hobbies, selling things, from place
to place. You'll admit that he has
trouble, yet he doesn't look that
way, and you wonder at the smile
upon his face.
Then a newsie, with his papers,
selling everyone he can. keeps his
pep up through the daily 1ong-hour
grind. Is he better at his business
than the average business man?
There's another little wonder for
your mind.
Walking gaily is a maiden and
her lips are brilliant red, and the
color on her cheeks is not her own.
And you wonder why the makeup,
for, when all is done and said, She d
be sweeter if her looks were let
alone.
People pass and you can view
them, and impressions come galore.
Just a-wond'ring is a natural thing
don't forget that folks are wond'-
to do. But when you are on the
corner cycling others by the score,
ring over you.
