Undoubtedly the people most Interested in these pictures will be the fond parents of the (harming young people photographed, for this In all proba
bility is the only protracted study they will have of their offspring, and it undoubtedly is the only opportunity they will have for a "still life” view during
the holidays. . . . . . , ,,_;
Society has been taken by storm. Without so much as a "by your lea ve, which, we admit, Is obsolete anyhow, the younger set have taken these
holiday weeks and have made them what they will. And what they will is dancing, and then dancing and more dancing. There have been more parties
than the social scribe can remember, and mothers and fathers have had to glimpse their darlings ’tween times.
Miss Nash, the daughter of Mrs. F. A. Nash, is the only member of the I’epper Pot club to stay In Omaha this year for schooling. She Is a
student at Duchesne convent. She is a widely traveled young woman, and has spent a great many of her winters In Florida, Cuba and California, and
her summers in Wianno and Saranac. This summer was a real thriller, for during her stay in Quebec, she saw the Prince of Males, who was in the
city incognito. _ , , „ ,
Miss Jane Stewart is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Stewart, and the niece of Meredith Nicholson. When her father was asked if she seemed
to Inherit her illustrious relative’s literary talent, he replied, “She drives a car mighty well.” Miss Stewart Is spending her first year at Miss Master’s
school, Dobb’s Ferry, N. Y. .
On Saturday Mr. and Mrs. George A. Roberts and their daughter, Elizabeth, gave up their beautiful home, Grey Rocks in Fairacres, and took up
their residence in the Blackstone. Early this week Mr. and Mrs. Henry Doorl.v and family will take possession.
Miss Roberts, who is a junior at Brownell, will enter Mrs. Somers’ school in Washington, D. C„ In the fall, after an extended summer trip with her
( family. The year after that she will enroll at Vassar. On Friday afternoon Miss Roberts was honor guest at a tea given by her mother for 100 of the the
\ jounger set. . •(

Days of Lucullus Return
Cream-Filled Chocolate Cake and Cheese Sandwiches
Have It All Over Humming Birds’ Tongues
and Lion’s Tail Soup.
By GABBY.
HIGH pries teases of cookery must
preside prayerfully over the am
brosial viands one has served
to one at teas.
Gabby Is In a continual state of
wonder over them. Things look so love
ly arranged one would say more for
the aesthetic than for the material
self. Such deceptive pretties, too.
Ond" thinks of them carelessly, rather
as one thinks of a chiffon gown,
lovely and airy, hut not practical.
They’re really Madame Calorie’s
staunchest allies.
Friday at the tea given by Mes
dames I.ee Huff, wide silver platters
on which pretty cakes and sanwiches
made a pattern, were balanced at
each end with tiny bouquets of violets
In which roses nestled, flavors a little
of the feasts of Bucullus, Gabby
thinks, but cream filled chocolate
cakes and cheese sandwiches have It
Mill over humming birds' tongues and
of boiled lions' tails,
JUST for the convenience of those
who don’t already know It, Gab
by mentions that this Is official
"Mothers and Sons Reconciliation
Week.” The second week of Christ
mas vacation always Is, when pos
sible, for something must he done
for mothers who have rushed In
where angels fear, and would even
ic.om to tread, In accepting invltac
tlons for their sons, who sit by, help
less. In some out-of-town school.
"The gooseberries I have drawn,
through mother's kindness to suffer
ing hostesses.” said one youth, ’’has
almost estranged Us,”
Yes, Gabby thinks, this Is a week
we ought to celebrate.
SUB Is that most unusual of crea
tures. a demure girl, so It was
without suspicion lier Intimates
saw her dashing down to the station
Saturday morning to see a ’’friend”
who was stopping off for the day.
Besides, she wasn’t wearing a carna
tion. that time honored badge by
which strangers meet, so who could
have guessed. The anonymous one
it later developed was Upton Hlm-lalr,
that Iconoclast who ha» torn educa
tion and the prees to pieces In his
latest books.
Their friendship grew through a
tter sent to his company, not ln
nded for him.’ wherein she ordefed
i book In a far froth businesslike
fashion. The clever phrases, for
wide. , she Is famous, caught the sec
fc>etev?’e eye. and he relayed them on
^ t'oi author, who himself sent back
-*an answer, Including a few flattering
questions.
flo highly did ths writer value her
vl
comments In the subsequent (Nt-hange
of Ideas that he stopped off heie en
route to the west, ignoring promi
nent local Intelligentsia, who would
have given much to hear his blister
ing Invective.
Inquisitive Gabby remembered that
in the "Book of Life," Mr. Sinclair
had mentioned that he wa still wear
ing the same overcoat after 14 years,
object being to fool sordid commer
ciallsts who so wilfully and woefully
change the styles each year. The de
mure one answered Gabby’s query as
to whether or not he wore said coat
in Omaha, by saying that unless ap
pearances were more than usually de
ceitful, he did.
RUMOR has It that Judge Frank
DIneen, who so recently organ
ized and then disorganized a
speeders' parade. Is soon to put on
a parade all his ownself. This one,
a parade to the altar, where he Is to
wed a young woman now employed In
the city hall. The young lady Is
wearing a diamond ring, on the sig
nificant finger, and the Judge admits
he put it there, but that no definite
date has been set for the wedding.
A ROLLS-ROYCE purring expen
sively by, could never have
achieved such attention, Gabby
opines, for It takes more than the
finest of equipages to make a whole
bridge party leave their tables In the
midst of finesses and redeals. But
they did leave the cards, to rush to
the window of the George Flack
home thb other afternoon to see Mr
and Mrs. Charles Morton pacing by.
They were leading Zeus, their rangy
limbed Great Dane, harnessed with
the smartest of leathers to a small
rart, In which little Patricia Ann
Morton sat fur wrapped, ss dignified
as royalty.
A style In the making Is alwaya
distracting. This Is one, undoubtedly,
"the babies will all cry for.”
ITS NOT ss chilly ns usual at tills
tlmo of year. HtIII, It's too cold
to go barefoot, most anyone would
admit. Little Marjorie Ann Uhl,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mel •Uhl,
Jr., is far more practical minded than
one would suspect to see her eyes of
cornflower blue, snd the cloud of
golden curls which encircle her rhlld
iah head, and she thinks It's really
foolish. One day Inst week she dls
covered that the Hawaiian dancers
who have born swinging grass skirls
and iels around the dance floor at
ttie Brandels restaurants wlule ukn
lelcs wall, were doing It without the
aid of footwear. Her fear for the
health of the dancers led her to the
