Monday, November 15, 1915.
ABIDE from the study affairs, the social calendar of the week Is not
a crowded document, I must admit. Is it a case of sighs from
across the sea?
There is a threadbare Joke charging Cholljr and Reggie with
turning up their trousers when they learn it is raining in London. A Paris
costvmer'B model tore her skirt from hem to knee at an aviation meet,
and, In consequence, within a year American women, from Doston to San
Diego, were wearing silt skirts. 80 the little anecdote of Cholly and
Reggie is not so utterly absurd after all.
Tracing It down to its basic principle, there is a great element of sym
pathy In humanity's wllllngnexs to adopt the styles as they come; and this
sympathy may be most pronounced when least suspected.
1 hare Just called up popular hostess after hostess. "I can't explain
it, but I am planning nothing," one said. "I Just simply feel I must be
quiet for a month or two," said another.
From the calendar my eyes stray to a special cablegram in an eastern
paper. "Society In European capitals Is no longer in evidence," I read;
"even dinner and theater parties are becoming rare and rarer."
Sighs from across the sea that explains my calendar there Is sym
pathy in the terrible things as well as the frivolities.
At the Orphe-ttm Theater.
Two big reservations for this evening
have been made at the Orpheuin theater.
The larger is by the dedication class of
the Scottish Rites for fifty seats. Twenty

Traffic on Farnam
Blocked Half Hour
by Battle of Words
An srgtiment as to whether a sidewalk
freight elevator which was resting at
peace In the center of the shaft should
be propelled up or down blocked the
Farnam street sidewalk In front of the
t'nited States National bank for twenty
Hlmlnutes about 11 o'clock yesterday
morning.
The wordy battle ensued between two
men who were unloading a 8 warts ft
Hlrsch wagon containing potatoes for the
Lincoln Inn in the basement of the bank
building. The elevator stopped In the
very middle of the shaft and the two
men disagreed whether they should start
the car up or down. While they argued
the matter scores of pedestrians crowded
around the guard ratling In the hope of
an approaching fight, with the result
that traffic along the north side of Far
nam at that particular spot was confined
to the street for about twenty m'nutes.

City Eecognizes
Union Musicians
By a vote of four to three the city
council committee of the whole recom
mended for adoption a resolution, the ef
fect of which will be recognition of union
musicians by the city.
Mayor Dahlman and Commissioners
Kugnl, Wlthnrll end Butler voted In the
affirmative; Jardlne, Drexel and Hum
mel in the negative.
The situation dates back to last summer
when the council decided to show equal
recognition to union and nonunion bands
playing tn the public parks. As a result
of that action the musicians declared the
Auditorium on the "unfair" list when it
was tsken over by the city. To restore
the Auditorium to the fair list the musi
cians demanded complete recognition of
the union by the city, which demand has
been conceded. .
MRS. JAMES W. GERARD,
wife of the American am
bassador to Germany, has
been deoorated by Kaiser
Wilhelm. This is the first
time the kaiser has bestowed
a decoration upon a woman
not of royal blood. Mrs.
Gerard is a daughter of the
late Marcus Daly, the mil
lionaire Montana silver mine
owner.

"Whpn In doubt? pat on another
stamp."
This is the page advice passed out
I by Loyal 8. Mole, parcel post expert
of the Omaha postoffice.
Mr. Mole swept a hand toward a
large pile of forlorn looking parcels
and a mournful expression swept
ever his physiognomy.
"All held here because of Insuf
ficient postage," he said spulchrailjr.
All the parcels seemed to groan In un
ison like prisoners from whom all hope
has fled.
"Home people," said Mr. Mole, "guess
at the weight of packags and they us
ually guess too little. Others weigh them
wrong. But there Is a large class who
think they ran slip through with a cent
or two less the legal postage."
Mr. Mole then entered upon an exposi
tion of his Vncle Samuel's strict methods
The clerks csn tell almost Instinctively
when a package has too little postage,
fluch parcels are chucked on the soale and
If they weigh the merest trifle over the
weight that hss been paid for they are
thrown Into the discard and the sender
Is notified to mrward the necessary
stamps.

they are Joyously figuring that Aunt

No Change in the
Birth of a Nation
Injunction Case
District Judge Redlck, who declined to
issue an order retraining the showing f
the film, "The Birth of a Nation." at the
Brandels theater, previous to Us first ap
pearance Sunday evening, said that there
was no change In the legal status of the
pictures. ,
Omaha negroes have not renewed their
petition that the showing of the film
be enjoined, on the ground that race
prejudice will be Increased In Omaha.
In the event a restraining order should
be granted which should not be sus
tained by the courts after subsequent
hearings the plaintiffs would be liable tn
damages for loss of profits caused by
stopping the showing of the film, and a
bond adequate to cover such damages
would be . required by law before the
restraining order would be binding.
