Exclusive to Exclusion By GABBY DETAYLS. Exclusiveness to exclusion, might be the title of a little story which could be told of two Omaha girls. ) They were both in Paris this sum mer. One saw a black velvet model at Jenny's and Immediately had a copy made for herself. The other saw ilia black velvet model at Jenny’s , and purchased it instanter. Each confident in the exclusiveness Of? her gown launched forth to a holl day tea. They met. They gasped. They were defeated. ^\T0'0' 1 didn't think there’ua a Santy Claus,” said a little ' crippled fellow at on® of the hospitals where good Old St. Nick visited this year. He was flushed and talkative under the excitement of candy and oranges and presents. "I useta look fer 'lin at home on Crispins but he never came, so course I thought there wasn’t any Santy Claus. “But there Is!" he said In his thin > voice, wondering perhaps why Santa visited hospitals and not homes. At Another hospital where good deeds were being done, a child who had just received a lovely gift looked up into 'dear old Santa's face and asked: “Do you go to -?" naming a town In the western part of the state. "Yes," he replied somewhat mysti fied. Whisking the wrapping around the gift, she handed it back to Santa Claus with these words: "Please take this to my mother." {{-tttILL you and Mr. IC. come yy over this evening and play “ " bridge.” Mrs. L. graciously asked over the telephone a few days ago. "We haven't an engagement," Mrs. K. frankly admitted, "but It wouldn't ^■he quite convenient to get from us you.” she said, "because son G. Is using the car this evening.” A laugh at the other end of the wire. "To be honest where honesty Is due," the Initial bidder confessed, “that's just why we are remaining at home this week. H. Is home from school and Is using our car every night this week and we are trying to make the evenings more bearable by Inviting In friends. But they all give your excuse! Guess we'll have to call up some childless couple." Thus nre the elders staying at home, lashed to the mast as it were, while (heir offspring spring off with the family conveyances. WINDER what ft horse thinks about when he sees an automo bile that won't run. This important piece of animal psychology was forcibly called to Gabby’s mind recently when the car she was intending to ride In refused to start. It was parked on one of the downtown streets, and she looked up to see a junk wagon standing nearby with an old bay bag o’ bones attached to It. The borse had turned to look over his shoulder at the delinquent machine. If the look In his eye was not ghoulish it was at least gloating. He pulled his leathery lips hack over his yellow teeth In an unpleasant smile. "Heh, beh!” he seemed to be eay >tng. "So lt’a come to dts, has It. lady? Sa ay. I knowed It would. Wot'ell did deso guys expect of a machine whlout no brains? I’d tike tuh see my boss if I pulled dat stuff. Crlmlny! I wish I h^id a fin hide ’n' a brass radiator. *n’ Vd lure try it. Balky, huh? Why donojha glv'm his nose bag? Twenty horseViower? Don’t make me laugh, kid; hipest. I gotta cracked rib. Well, here jh go again. So long lady. 1 hope j/jh miss your train.'* r Fred Stone Company to Entertain at a Benefit Supper Party, Jan. 15 A tip-top affair in two senses of the word will be given in Omaha the night of January 15.

Hebrews, Catholics, Protestants and Scientists are unanimous in their en thusiasm, endorsements and co-opera tion. Nor is this strange when one delves into the philosophy contained in this great Biblical drama. "Job” appeals tp all classes of peo ple. Its intense emotional qualities, the flashes of satire, wit and humor, the angry outbursts of passions, the all human characteristics and univer sal experiences of the characters In the play, the dramatic climaxes, and the spectacular beauty hold one spell- i bound from beginning -to end. Audi-1 ences rarely applaud. But they leave! the theater marvelling at the sublimity j of the play. Yet, the “Boole of Job,” j though deeply spiritual, is not a church" drama. It ia no last dra-j matlc than other great masterpieces such as "Faust,” Macbeth" or "Ham let.” It is taken almost literally from the Bihle; but It merely happens no one knows why, since it has no rela tion to the chronology of the Bible or Hebraic history, that in the Bible has been included the greatest poem of all literature. Stuart Walker has not changed or added to it. He has sim ply taken it as he found It, one of the Biblical Archives, reduced to a suit able length and graphically presented it to the world in a living and never to be forgotten form. It Is said to be impossible for one to witness this dramatization and re gard Job thereafter merely as a tradi tional Biblical character. And no one can see It without being stimulated to a deeper consciousness of the Divine in human affairs and the spiritual powers given to man to survive and triumph over the physical obstacles and sufferings of life.
