The river's somber flood is changed to red
And gold. In shallow streams th* waters flow _ .
Tast tree-lined banks, by devious course and slow,
I.lke rippling fire upon the sandy bed.
A dark'nlng sky is brooding overhead ,
Where daylight fades and evening shadows grow
While in the west, where sunset's banners glow,
A symphony of colors wide 1^ spread.
Adown an aisle with dazzling rudinnre limned
And draped with clouds, there floats the crimson sun. f
It sinks to rest. The brilliant lights are dimmed. (

Press Women Bring
Mrs. Elia Peattie
February 16
The Woman's Press club Is to pre
sent Mrs. Ella W. Peattie, distin
guished novelist and literary critic,
in a lecture ajid reading of her own
plays at the Kontenelle hotel at 4
p. in. Friday, February 16.
While Mrs. Peattie is a national fig
ure in the literary life of this coun
try, she is particularly well known
in Omaha. She lived here for many
years and engaged in active news
paper work and also took a leading
part in club activities. She was presi
dent of the Omaha Woman's club In
1896 and is an honorary member of
this club and of the Woman's Press
club.
Interested In ail women's activities,
yet it is as newspaper woman, critic
and short story writer that she has
become a national figure. During the
greater part of iheir lives she anil
her husband, Itobert Peattie, have
been associated together on newspa
per staffs. They are perhaps the best
known newspaper “couple" in Amer
ica.
Only in the laet two years has Mrs.
Poattle attained recognition in the dra
matic field. Her new activity cams
about in a moat unusual manner. She
end her husband moved to North Car
olina to make their home. After be
ing there a while Mrs. Peattle found
herself Intensely Interested in ths
story of long-existing feuds. She ccdCT
eluded that here was dramatic mate
rial, so she set about writing dramas
about these feuds, inviting the na
tives to enact them.
Inslant success attended her efforts.
Not only did the natives find an out
let for their pent-up feelings In thess
dramatic offerings, but the outslds
world heard of this venture and Mrs.
I'eattie was besieged with demarids to
leave her home and give these plays
to the public. She has presented them
in Chicago and other cities. x
Iler visit to Omaha will mark ths
western boundary of her touring to
date.

when she was touring the world.
When commented upon she informs
those inquiring that her sturdy grey
suede oxfbrds, so smartly cut, and with
flapping brogue tongues, were made
in China from an English model, for
"Cobblers over there are wonderful
at copying, are painstaking, and most
unfailingly accurate." she says.
Miss Cowell, during her travels In
the orient, also had a number of eve
ning slippers fashioned.
They were made after a French
mode, sandal slippers, with many in
