In spite of the unusual gaiety of the week, hostesses and their guests
have snatched time to spend part of these perfect days out of doors. Silver
birches, their green and gold tracery still clinging to the boughs, feath
ering down-over white trunks, caught their eyes, the while our photographer
was catching them.
Anri by the way, when he came bark with the prints the combined
beauties had made such a profound impression that It reminded of
» prophetic pun, and we have Ills own word for it, "When the leaves fall,
the fall guests leave."
A most interesting visitor is Miss Polly Smith of Gloucester, Masa.,
who arrived for the ball, Iasi week. Miss Smith and her hostess, Mrs.
Malcolm Kaldrige, attracted a great deal of attention in their box Friday
evening. Miss Smith is as distinctively a brunette as Mrs. Kaldrige is a
tltian beauty, but both wore tangerine colored gowns most effectively, Miss
Smith’s of the more brilliant nuance. Miss Smith is an Interesting as well
as attractive guest. During the war she became Interested in occupational
therapy, and since, has been devoting her time to if. At present she has
charge of this work with wounded soldiers in the hospital at Beverly. Mass.
Following the ball Miss Smith was a guest in Miss Gertrude Stout’s
supper party at the Omaha club, and Wednesday she will be honor guest al

visiting. Miss Shafer and Mrs. Radrliffe also have a friendship formed lr
college days, when they were students at Barnard college and had an apart
ment together iri New York City. A colorful and changing background ha
given Miss Shafer an unusual charm, for she is a New Yorker, has lived
in Richmond, Va., and has recently spent three years In New Orleanv
Her visit here might be said to be a private exchange of civic compliment^,
for she was vastly interested in the Ak-Sar-Ben festivities, as was Mrs
Radrliffe in the Mardi Gras when she was Miss Shafer’s guest In her I-oulsi
ana home two years ago. Last evening Mrs. Radrliffe gave a buffet supper
for Miss Shafer, and this evening they will be the guests of Mrs. T. E.
Patterson when she entertains at a buffet supper for her daughter, Marie,
and her fiance, Guernsey Wllboume of Birmingham, Ala., who are to wed
Tuesday afternoon at 4 o’clock, in Mrs. Radcliffe's parents’ home.
The alert ranine gentleman In the inset Is included, for he too. Is doing
his best as a member of the Radrliffe household to make Miss Shafer’s
stay a pleasant one. He accompanies her on morning walks, and is always
eager to romp about their apartment when they are home from parties. His
name is Buddy, and he is a pedigreed English bulldog.

Porte Cochere
, Is Noted
By GABBY DKTAYIJ4.
IT was night. Gabhy was showing
an appreciative out-of-town guest
the city by electric light.
"This Is our Blackstone hotel," she
said, ns they drove westward.
“What a beautiful porte cochere:"
exclaimed the visitor.
Gabby hadn’t the heart to explain
(hnt It was an oil station across the
Btreet from the hotel.
f Which reminds us of the man who
Bald he adored driving into oil sta
tions. "They make me feel I know
Bll the best people In town!"

reminded that all the chatter In the
younger set concerns. Mrs. Henman
Kountzo's cousin. WlUlnm Neely Mal
lory of Memphis. Tenn., who It is
hoped Is to bo her guest for the holl
days. Standing at the ultimnte pln
nncle in youth's estimate of fame Is
young Mr. Mallory, for he it is who
captains the Yale foothnll team.
He is blond and most attractive
in a masculine way, as Is Mrs.
Kountz.e In her feminine way. He Is
22 years old, stands R feet 10, and
weighs about 1 Tft pounds, to quote a
Philadelphia pnper.
Mr. Mallory is reputed to be a star
in Yale’s social as well as its athletic
firmament, and with such Omaha
buys as IMck Stewart, Ned Burke,
Bob Millard and^ Milton Barlow In
Yale as criterion, it In undoubted he
will cut a wide swath here should he
arrive.
