THE REAL ESTATE REAL ESTATE FARM AND RANCH LAND FOR SALE | FARM AND RANCH LAND FOR SALE BEUCALYPIUS GROVES It is no doubt the BEST, SAFEST and most profitable INVESTMENT you can make, ‘We represent two of the best plantations and the strongest companies in the Eucalpytus industry. We have personally examined the land and groves we are selling, the trees already being planted. We can refer you to Omaha parties who have looked over our plantations.

A CARLOAD of people went out to Scott's Bluff today to see what we have to offer, to see if the country is as good as we have claimed, to gee If the goll Is as represented and to look into the water supply. They will find that THE HALF HAS NOT BEEN TOLD and In less than twenty-four hours they will be the most enthuslastic bunch of peo- ple you ever saw. This is no prophecy, but & mere statement of what has taken place on every trip we have made into “Ameri- ca's Valley of the Nile” Even the Swedish people, who are by no means ex- citable, are very much interested in Our New Swedish Colony It 18 located near Bayard, Morrill county, and is a fine tract of land, about six sec- tlons, or 44 eighty-acres farms. We have agreed to set aside 50 ceuts an acre on this tract to be used in the construction of & Bwedish church, which is the center of each Swedish community. You will find no better opportunity for a home or investment than the Scott's Bluff country, and the land s going fast. Why ‘walt until the best ls sold and then con- demn yourself for not buying when the land was cheap? Inside of five years that land will easlly be worth as much as the famous Irrigated land around Greeley or Fort Collins, in Colorado, Better plan to go out with us on our next excursion—you are too late for this week.

The program was given by Mrs. L. F. Crofoot, Mrs. B. Lee McShane, Miss Frances E. Nash, Miss Eloise Wood and Mr. Martin W. Bush, all of whom are advanced pupils of Mr. Max Landow. Invitations were issued to 200 friends of the artists, making this one of the largest social affairs of the week. The ease Wwith which the difficult numbers were given displayed a remarkable development and the audience showed keen appreciation of the different numbers. The first number, planos, op. 64, by Alexis Hollaender, played by Miss Wood and Mr. Bush, was well re- ceived. Miss Nash played the first move- ment of the concerto in C minor by Camille Saint-Saens. «The young artist has splen- did technique and a charming personality which wins her audience. She plays with unusual ease and comprehension. Mr. Landow played the accompaniment to the concerto on a second piano. For encore Miss Nash played a pastorale by Scar- latti. B “Prelude et Fugue, op. 6" Sgambatl, was glven by Mr, Bush. The breadth of expression and execution of this difficult pumber displayed considerable ability. “Dle Rgme,” by Lizst, was played as encore, “Caprice Meliinoolique,” for two pianos, composed by Reynaldo Hahn, was played by Mrs. Crofoot and Mr. Landow. The in- terpretation and execution were excellent and the players were recalled. Mrs. Cro- foot gave “Cortege,” by Claude Debussy, and “Two Etudes,” by Chopin, with’great brilliancy and expression. Her host of friends wish they might have the oppor- tunity of hearing her often. Mrs, McShane and Mr. Landow gave “Andante Variations,” for two pianos, op. 16, by Robert Schumann. This is the first appearance in Omaha of Mrs. McShane in rausical circles, to which she is a welcome acquisition. Miss Wood rendered ‘‘Hochzeltsmarsch und Elfenreigen,” by Mendelssohn-Liszt. This transcription of Mendelssohn's wed- ding march is quite difficult and was given with excellent technique. This number was especially appropriate, as Miss Wood's wedding takes place within & fortnight. “Reverie,” by Richard Strauss, was given as encore. “Concerto D minor (first movement'), Anton Rubinstein, played by Mr, Bush, ac- companied by Mr. Landow on & second piano, was & fitting finale to the splendid program. Mr. Bush played with expres- sion and skill. Many beautiful floral tributes were sent to the artists.

I inquired, seating myself beside her on one of the stone steps leading to the house door. “Yes—the flight of fancy—young man's fancy,” she answered. “I don't fancy it much,” I objected. “Isn't this & rather public place for you to sit beside the handsome stranger, with his cussed city way, who's liable": “Ah! but are you lable? that fs, if there was a suit?" “Spring suit? My tailor doesn't seem to think so,” I admitted. “But isn't the sea- son a bit too changeable to be glving this public view—speaking in an art term?" “Maybe this is the family's regular night for having the use of the parlor—I mean living room. Dear me! How could I have been so antique as to call it parlor? That sounds too much like pool at two-and-a- half cents a cue, or—um—ice cream,” she concluded, pensively. “Shudderous thought!” T exclaimed. “But I know why you want to sit out here— yowre afraid somebody may steal your front lawn and carry it away in his pocket.” “I won't have our lawn slandered,” she cried, indignantly. . “No, and you probably won't have your lawn lawndered,” I punned. “Let's see. There's one blade of grass—no, I do be- lleve there are two! With two blades you could cut all the rest of the grass, if there should be a third blade.” “Sounds llke you were talking about a jack knife,” she murmured. “They don't look like very gay young blades,” I agreed. “Do you sprinkle the lawn with a fountain pen filler and mow it with a safety razor?" “My reason for sitting here ought to be plain,” she resumed.

They lived In a four-room apartment in a place that had uniformed hall service, stationary ice boxes and mov- able rents.” ‘“Marvelous, ous!” I cried. duce it?" “Perfectly simple, my dear Watson, meaning that the explanation is simple and not that you are,” she dlagrammed. “I know that they lived In a four-room apartment because they have such & skimpy little mess of furniture. It'll be lost in that house—and all the nelghbors my dear Holmes, marvel- "How the deuce do you de- are saying that now. They had stationary fce boxes because they haven't brought any along, while a glance at the man's nose will show that they need an ice box. And surely any palr that can afford to rent that house and still look o poor must have had some big expense like tiping hall service to keep them that way. “Marvelous!” I echoed. *And T'd add that they must have failed to tip the van- men from the way that husky is tipping that cheval glass against the bedstead.

Open-Work Stockings Will Be Stylish This Year ’ (;r_ = about the There stockings this season, but there is a de- is nothing unusual clded - preference for the old- white openwork hose in cotton, 1i and silk. Writing the last wond brings to my mind an exquisite pair of stockings I was privileged to see recently, These were for a wealthy June bride, and few maldens will be able to buy such costly hose, I know, but 1 am sure everyone will like to hear about them. They were of ivory white silk, the threads finer than & halr seemingly and Inset with lace motifs reaching from the toes of the slippers to above the ankle The lace was about three inches in width at the widest part. The ends tapered. The lace was fine old Brussels point, the design & heart plerced by an arrow lald upon & plllow of orange blossoms. The little archer with bow extended was worked in above the heart and the border was of bewknots and ribbon effect, each knot catching & spray of orange blossom. The stitches were the tiny. In fact, some almost needed magnitying'glasses to see thelr Leauty. The price was $10, and it seemed not too large. The average bride will no doubt feel just as happy In the possession of simple white sflk stockings, daintily embroidered, or in s pair of fine openwork hose in lisle thread.

Instead, such flgures as bowknots, the conventional fleur-de-lys, single daisles small sprays of forget-me-nots, et The polka dot in self and contrasting tones Is popular. The newest in hose for wear with linen sults is & fine white cot- ton embroidered with eclocks In color. Just now the bright cherry is preferred, when the sult is white; others go farther and demand the entire stocking of this brilllant hue. A blue linen frock worn with white stockings showing blue clocks, the shoe In blue to match the gown, would be smart Stockings in gray, tan, London smoke, are | Hked, bronze and chantecler are accepted for more general wear, however. Lisle thread in black, white and eolor can be bought for from 60 cents & pal upward. There are fewer black stockings s0ld at present than in meny years, White seems to be taking thelr place.
