Ztetucliptto So
Finery and
Food Are
Alike
By GABBY OKTAY I S.
FJOO and finery are more closely
related than first appears to the
eye. 'Tanyrate, an assistant man
ager for one of Omaha’s most fash
ionable dining places has very recent
ly been transferred to a similarly
high position in the ladies' ready-to
wear branch of the same establish
ment.

A fashionable restaurant Is less a
place to eat than a stage for a sump
tuous wrap or a handsome dinner
gown. The manager of a restaurant
knows instantly if a woman is dressed
as she ought to be. lie acquires a
sense of the suitability of a frock, he
knows what length of gown looks best
Ne^n tile dance floor. A glance at a
woman's outfit and he knows without
asking whether she would prefer a
seat at tlie ringside or a more modest
position at a small table. ||js suc
cess In a restaurant turns, to a large
extent, on his appreciation of clothes.

The angle at which a napkin is turned
may spoil the entire affair for a

“ Up Stream" as
i Reviewed by
Dean McG in ley
“Ludwig Lewisohn writes a chron
icle and a criticism of American life
and thought under guise of an auto
biography.” declared Dean Stephen
Mc'tinley of Trinity cathedral in his
review of “I'p Stream," before the
Second district convention of the Ne
braska Federation of Womens clubs
In Pgplllion Saturday afternoon. Kx
copt from his talk follow:
"The book is unusual in many re
spects, and 1s well worth reading be- !
cause of its beautiful diction.
"J.ewisohn's confession of faith Is
contained in the words of .Mark
Twain, which he quotes:
" I think a man's first duty Is to
his honor, not to his country, and not
to his party,” and he interprets the,
word “honor” to mean the honor of ;
the mind, and as the only loyally that
has any value. He rails continuously
against the two vices of American
thought In his inind: tile two delusions i
that repression destroys, and that,
uniformity is admirable. For the mob j
and for the herd mind he lias nothing
but contempt—"it is made up of
sheep.’

discussion of the subject. There Is
unanimous sympathy with the Idea,
the discussion is on the method of
working it out.
Mrs. Poorly proposes taking over
a theater like the Brandeis for the
entire season, producing there the lat
est successes, plays which In the ordl
arv course of events would not be

years after tlicir presentation In New

enough professionals engaged to carry
through any emergency, though ama

years back, when It was considered
ungracious for a guest to retain her
hat at the luncheon hour in a

chapeaux perched amp the head, like
birds about to wing away, were laid
side at bridge.
Perhaps the wave, which had to

functions, first brought the hat into
favor at luncheon* and bridge, and
new millinery is ringing the death
knell of the wave as a necessity.
