Omaha's two society | brides of the last week are haying widely different experiences on their charming honeymoon journeys. Mrs. Elias Cornell Vail, formerly Miss Alice Ja- uith, with Mr. Vail, is having a most 3clightiul time at Lake Louise. The weather is delightful and the beauty of the place exceeds their highest ex- ectations. When Mrs. Arthur B, aquith received her last letter from them this morning they expected to leave Lake Louise October 15, when the summer hotel closed, and to go from there to Vancouver, Mrs. Walter Scott Penfield, for- merly Miss Lucile Bacon, and Mr. Penfield are having an equally de- lightful honeymoon trip, but they are | encountering very different weather. A wireless received by Mr. and Mrs. Frank W. Bacon from them on board the Calamares stated that, although they were scheduled to arrive dt Havana Monday, their boat had been delayed by a hurricane 'accompanied by a driving rain, which is sweeping across the Gulf of Mexico and send- ing all craft scurrying for cover. They are noW in the (lef(a of the Mississippi about 150 miles below New Orleans awaiting the passing of the storm. The elements have utterly disar- ranged the plans of friends for din- ner for them at the Havana Cour- try club, of which Mr. Penfield is a member, on Monday edening. Tues- day, Wednesday and Thursday they expected to spend motoring on the island. No further news of the boat or the storm has yet been received. Hallowe'en Party.

The chief difference between the wise man and the fool is the matter of looking ahead, The wise man looks far down the road, shielding his eyes by placing his hand above them, from the illusions and glamors of the present. The fool follows his bent wherever it leads, One looks down the long road to its, far vanishing point. The other closes his eyes, or sgeing, refuses to read the signs on the guide posts. The name of the long road is Con- sequences. Some cast their eyes, with the keen, measuring gaze of the culating whither it leads, Others gal- lop down the course and cry out when their mount throws them or when thfi' collide with a stone wall. othing happens without cause and thére is no event without its result. Every act, as every person, casts a shadow. We overdraw our account at the bank and there is a protést, Our credit suffers. We eat too much and our bodies are heavy and inert, pois- oned by their own salf-manufactur- ed toxins. We sleep too little and our nerves are traitorous, our tempers uncertain, our judgment faulty, We think too much about ourselves and our lives narrow, and we grow critic- al and unproductive of ideas, bitter and discontented. We drink too much and our appetites apply the lash for more and stronger stimulants. We speak, and our words come echoing back to us in another's good or bad deeds, Every act is a start on the road of Consequences. It behooves us to look long, often and thoughtfully down that road before starting upon it, for along its track no one may re- turn, A girl looking out from a car win- dow at the crowds pouring into the Br%ldway cafes, frowned, sighed and said: “Your eyes have asked me about these black clothes of mine. /I Wwill tell you about them. 1 have just come back from. the funeral of a relative of mine. She was just past middle age. She was tired of life and glad to go. She had worked hard all her life and had no play. She was alone and her life was growing narrower every day. Those laughing, over-dressed girls going into the cafes are living, if only for a little while. Every girl can choose between these two kinds of life. As for me,” she nodded her pretty head framed in brown curls, “just now I incline to- ward the cafes.” I knew the girl's temptations. They v«:tfc glittering and o&ercd from a high place. I did not say, “Don't.” Human nature is such that saying “Don't” is often equivalent in effect to saying “Do.” I said: “Have you looked down the long road?" “The long road?” she repeated. “The road of Consequences,” I answered. “I knew a girl who stood just where you do. She didn't look down the road. They sent for me when she had been run over in the street and was placed in the alcoholic ward at Bellevue. There was a plan to take her to Ward's Island, where the city's insane are kept. Knowledge of this plan and the shame and horror it signified seeped into her burning brain, She wlispered a telephone number. ‘Ring him up. Tell him I am_in great trouble,’ she implored. The man, often seen on Broadway, answered, ‘I am too. busy to be both- ered about her.' Two days later she died on Ward's Island. Are you willing to pay that price?" The girl's eyes ‘widened as she wz‘tched the crowds pouring into the cafes, “I know another girl who stood where you do. She looked down the long road, far down. She thought of what she saw. She said to the temp- ter, ‘No.' She has turned %er back upon the brief, feverish gaiety of such life as this, She chose the deep, tran- quil happiness that follows true, con- secrated marriage. She has three children. She has that: fathomless content that springs from a life with a calm center, because she looked down the long road.” e e P Indian Summer Copyright . 1816, International News Servl By Bachelor - e \ Be Broad Minded By BEATRICE FAIRFAX, “Oh, Tome on, be a good sport What's the harm in a little thing?’ says Will to Tom. “Don’t be narrow minded. Come on, have a drink wit! the rest of us.” And Tom, awed at the bugaboo o’ being called ‘“narrow-minded,” pro ceeds to take the drink of which he disapproves. He sacrifices his own principles of right and wrong for the modern fetich —"be broad-minded.” “Don’t be a narrow-minded little goose, Saide, says rane. “There’s | no harm in Will Bruce, even if he is Coney tomorrow with Will and Jim and me. We'll have @ good time if only you ‘aren’t narrow-minded and spoil the day.’, And Sadie listens to Jane. She doesn't, want to be called narrow- minded. She has a horror of being unpopular and lonely because the rest of the crowd think her ajpriggish goody-goody. Her principles go down before the fetich, “be broad- minded.” A very brilliant man once said to me, “There’s always something sus- picious abolit anything that has to be viewed from a ‘broad-minded’ stand- point.”” Anything that can stand on its own merits doesn't have to be judged broad-mindedly or narrow-mindedly —but just fair-mindedly The man who makes investments a little bit fresh. Come on down to| he can't afford; the man who gam* | bles with money he “borrows” from his firm{ the woman who dresses bet- ter than her means justify; the girl who goes with gay companions—all | of them are likely to fall back on the excuse that you have to be broad- minded about things. Between Puritanism of the evil- | minded, suspicious and condemnatory | sort and the modern broad-minded- ness which tolerate laxity and weak indulgence in desires of almost any sort, there is a whole world of di- vergent viewpoint. It is something like a see-saw with sanity as the bal- ance. . None of us has the right to sit in judgment on all the rest of us. It is oursglves we must judge. Our own principles of right and wrong are our one final guide to right or wrong. To sacrifice those princ ples to a desire to be broad-minded or a good fellow is only to be weak and contemptiBte, When the urging to be broad-mind- ed about a thing you consider wrong 1¢ offered you, have the courage to say, “I'm not so intolerant as to criti cise you for doing that. Please don't be intolerant enough to criticise me for not doing it. I happen to think it wrong and so it would be wrong for me to yield to vour persuasions and igpore mv own principles.” Say it in a, tone or finality that brooks of no argument. “Be broad-minded!” may mean to the weakling an invitation to ignore principles and follow the line ot least resistance. The end of that line may be utter moral degradation.

Inquiry among them develops the in- foramation that in hair care they find it dangerdus to shampoo with any makeshift hair cleanser. Instead they have studied to find the finest prep- aration made for shampooing and | bringing out the beauty of the hair. The majority of them say that to enjoy the best ‘haxr wash and scalp stimulator that is known, get a pack- age of canthrox from your druggist; dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water and your shampoo is ready. It costs less than three cents for this { amount. After its use the hair dries rapidly, with uniform color. Dan- druff, excess oil and dirt are_dis- solved and entirely disappear. Your hair will be so fluffy that it will look h Its lustre and softness will also delight you, while the stimulated scalp gains the health which insures hair growth.— Advertisement, WE FEATURE ALL QUALITIES COLORS FOR MEN, 55¢ to $1.00.
