At the fashionable wedding of Andrew Harold McConnell of Omaha to Eleanor McPhillips of London, Ontario on October 18, there was an "unbidden guest." The beautifully dressed stranger entered the church at an early hour and inquired from an attendant In charge of the elaborate decorations if she might remain for the ceremony. "I am from Omaha, and am very much interested in this wedding." "Yea. do remain." the attendant graciously urged. "Won't you come farther forward and have a more ad vantageous seat." "No, no." the attractive visitor In terposed, "I am leaving the city with in an hour. I can see well enough from here." With that ho wayed. The Mc (Vnnell family li not yet discovered who the lovely guest was. Being from Omaha, she was very welcome to them, though unexpected and. as, yet, undiscovered.

Social Importations, uftually with Cupid an the billing clerk, have come from all part of the country, but no more charminr group has been acquired than the one we have from Lincoln. Included among the young Omaha matron, who only a few year ago were Lincoln debutante are Mr. George Keenian, Mr. Chester NIeman, Mr. Henry Hurnham and Mr. Max Miller. Mr. NIeman and Mrs. Miller have resided here for several year. Mr. Iliirnham came laxt spring and Mr. George Heeman I a fall newcomer for whom many affair are being Riven. She was formerly Ml Nita Dunn of Lincoln, daughter of Mr. and Mr. L. J. Dunn. Mr. Kurnham wa one of tho beautiful f haplo girl. Mr. Miller a Phebe Folnoin wa a popular member of Kappa Kappa Gamma at the University of Nebraska, and Mm. NIeman was Mis France Sanford. All are mothers, Mr. NIeman having four lovely children, two boy and two girl; Mrs. Miller two boys, Mrs. Burnham two daughters and Mrs. rieeman two sons. Three-Piece Suits With poor dear Russia so discredit ed In matters of state. It Is only fair to admit that In affairs sartorial she rules the world. During the past few weeks, when bridge has run rather rife, and eager guests have dashed from hostess to hostess the costumes that were generally voted the most stunning followed a decidedly Russian mode. Thrce-pleced suits, as varied In material as they are undevlatlng In line, all very smartly bloused as to coat with a tight belt at the very low waist line, and with subtly clinging skirts, come In for the most favorable comment. Ofttlmes that Is all one sees, but when Mrs. Henry Bohllng has thrown off the coat of her terra cotta model, there is revealed a dress of exqui site beauty with a cloth of gold blouse above her slightly draped skirt. The coat Is trimmed In black caracul, and, besides collars and cuffs, it la girdled with fur. Mrs. Robert Reasoner's coat of brown, like Mrs. Bohling's, has a belt of the kolinsky with which the coat la trimmed. Her- dress Is a combina tion of fawn-tinted crepe embroidered in gold braid, and brown rashavela cloth, and with it she wears a smart chapeau whose sand and gold brim and Jirown crown are in the greatest harmony. A velvet suit in deep brown sets off Early December Events : 4 i ! .& . r i !.t Ih t lS ft t ,- .. ,- ,(,( s, i H . I t I I' t ' t t ! .. t 4-1 ii s, . e t. l.v-ii ti Vl .. !

One of the handsomest models Is worn by Mrs. John Madden; It Is black satin inatelasse, the very newest of the new, elaborately decorated with squirrel, whose delicate gray la repeated In the blouse. Miss Ruth Beatty Is even more Rus sian, for the gray blouse of her blue suit Is heavily wrought with any num ber of bright colors, and the Intricacy of the pattern assures us that It la authentic in nationality. When Mrs. Earl Sage lef for her honeymoon, her going away costume was of blue kashavela, squirrel fur, and gray crepe enhanced with red and Bllver, made accordyig to this mode. Others wearing three-pieced suits are Mrs. A. L. Reed, Mrs. Edwin Busche and Miss Willow O'Brien. To Go to Lincoln. Among the parties that will go to Lincoln for the Thanksgiving day gjsnie is one which will include the Messrs. and Mesdames Ralph Parks and Charles Morton, Miss Evelyn Led wich and Andree Hayen. In another will be the Messrs. and Mesdames Albert Siubersen, Ed Megeath and Robert Burns. I .1 M T ll' tUll ,!l, l IK nw!

It Is reported that his present tournee will break all records for organ recital tours in this country. The Flapper Bag Is a New Novelty The cleverest of flapper novelties la the flapper bag. It looks like a doll, but If you pick It up you dis cover that the beruffled skirt hides a sizeable bag, where the astute young creature may secret vanity articles, or possibly her sewing materials fsheuld she ever decide to spend an afternoon In quiet fashion). Some of the gay cretonne models hold rubber lined bags, Ideal con tainers for swimming accessories and necessities. The doll heads are of wood; skillfully painted. Costume materials come In cretonne, tweed and the most delicate of lace covered silks. The silken cord by which the bag Is carried, comes out through the top of the dollie's head. These Fifth, avenue novelties are being shown In Omaha. Thanksgiving Visitor - j ft? , V v : IJ - -? 'V A S ft t 07: if- . - ', V f - u ft- 'I v.. Ah 0 11 .. , f . ft I.'....!! ii : ! V ?, tt. ! M t!

Mr. Forman has been managing dl ter for Colliers and for tho North American Review, Oeorge Harvey's magazine. "The Man Who Lived In a Hhoe" Is his third novel. Iist winter, Harper's magazine, sent Mr. Forman to Sicily to write three articles. An Illustrator accom panied him. Ills duties on the Island completed, he and his wife and son Journeyed northward across the con tinent, and later to England, reaching the picturesque British Isles In time to realize the meaning of Browning's words; Oh, to be in England, "Now that April's there." Upon arrival In England the For mans placed their non in the Royal Savoy prep school for boys between 5 and 14. It was founded in 1245. Chaucer was a pupil there and there Wyclfffe used to preach. It '"went out" for 150 years, according to Mrs. Forman, and Queen Victoria revived It. It Is "on high ground, with a great park In front and cricket fields and a garden behind," It Is half the price of a certain good American school which Mrs. Forman mentioned, adding, "I have never seen such splendid-looking boys nor any with more fine, natural manners. Excerpts from some of Mrs. For man's letters tell their own story of the noted people with whom they spent their summer: "Last Wednesday was the wonder ful H. O. Wells dinner.
