Matinee Luncheon Fills Burnasco Auditorium *- Many factors contributed to make ' ' the matinee luncheon of the speech education department of the Omaha Woman’s club yesterday noon at the Burgess-Nash tea room a successful affair. At the luncheon, 150 women were present, and nearly 100 more at the two plays which followed the luncheon. Mrs. Paul Perryman, Ord, k Neb., president of the Nebraska Fed * eration of Women's clubs, and Mrs. I "Chick ' Bale, wife of the actor, were guests of the club. Two dances In costume, “Marclieta” ' and “Waiting for the Morning," were performed by Miss Faustlnc Potts as a part of the program, while the lum;heon was In progress, and songs were sung hy Alfred Copperwaft, who has recently arrived from Detroit to take charge of the singing of Bur gess-Nash company. A new song, the words of which were written hy Mrs. Philip Potter, was sung by the mem bership. Mrs. Joseph Eawrence as the sweet Matured but slightly frivolous widow and Mrs. O. Y. Kring as the Intense and passionate actress staged a rather ■ dramatic conflict for the tnan with whom both characters are supposed to he in love In the first play, "The Other Woman." The playlet is witty and clever; hut has Its moment of t tragedy, w-hen the young widow, real izing that the actress loves the man to whom she was about to become engaged better than she does, makes * her decision to reject him in favor of 1 "the otheAwoman.” J Baby Patricia Anne Townsend, * wrongly announced on the program ' as "Priscilla Anne," acted the t'tle role in "The Suffragette Baby.*' As the much-managed protege of four J lusty suffragettes. Baby Patrlcik, who is only five months old, was a de cided ' success. Mrs. James Kelken ney, Mrs. Rodman Brown. Mrs. A. P. Nunn and Mrs. O. E. Monroe, as the bewildered suffragettes, staged a most amusing performance, while Mrs. , ’ 5eorge Pray gave a convincing por » travel of the troublesome reporter. , An overture and intermezzo hy Miss Clara Schneider, Miss Ida Power, and Mrs. A. F. Anderson: a song group by Mrs. A. A. Siegfried; an address by Mrs. E. B. Roberts, and a reading by Mrs. Ricklie Roasljerg helped to nlghten the program.

As a member of a church quartet there, she attracted the attention of music lovers by her voice, and upon their encouragement decided upon a musical career. Trained by A. Garrett, Karleton Hacked and Herbert Witherspoon, she has risen in popularity and filled recital and concert engagements from coast to coast. At her recent recital in New York city, her accompanist was Richard 11 a geni.a n, which in It self constitutes a high recommenda tion. Last nlr.ht was her first ap pearance in Omaha. Friends of Music Triple distilled essence of summer days was spread abroad on the win ter's morning in half a dozen num bers at the matinee of the Friends of Music yesterday at the home of Mrs. Sarah Joslyn. In the Waldweben, front "Siegfried,” by Wagner, and in the suite of three glamorous numbers by Stoughton. "In Fairyland,” Martin Hush, organist, recaptured the loveli ness of the out-of-doors. Several num bers sung by Harry S. Disbrow, "Folk Song," Opus 47, by MacDowell, "Trees," by Rasbach, and a "Boat Song." by Ware markedly bore out the same impression. Even the organ ar rangement of Schubert's "Am Meer." was evidently summer sea. by turns dreamy and agitated, hut without the nofp of somber bitterness that sounds in thp piano version. Other organ numbers on the pro gram were: "Overture to the Occa sional Oratorio," by Handel; “Minuet," by Dtthler: “La Concertina.” by Yon) Gesu Bambino, by Yon; "Fiat Lux.” by Duke.!*, all performed by Mr. Bush. Mr. Disbrow sang "Lungi Dalcaro Bene." by Becchi; "The Time for Mak ing Sungs Has Come." by Rogers, and the aria, "It Is Enough,” from "Eli jah." by Mendelssohn, in addition to the numbers quoted above. Mrs. Eloise Wood Meller was accompanist.

She is Miss Elva Simmons, 25, now of Uitnbey, Alberta, Canada, who made a modes! fortune breaking horses and bought a newspaper. The paper, the Rimbey Advance, she managed and edited herself until fire put the plant out of commission. Now Miss Simmons Is wrangling horses again to earn more money with which to repair her plant. Miss Simmons was born in Nebras ka 25 years ago and brought up al most all over this and other western states by a father afflicted with a wandering foot. Even after her father settled down in Rimbey, the young girl rode far afield ami start ed her profitable business of horse trading and training. Among the horses she has broken is Say Yes. who has played with the famous movie *dog, stronghenrt, and who proved one of the hardest Jobs she had undertaken. The editor's chair, however, is sometimes more dangerous than the back of a wild horse, says this ad venturous young woman, who, never theless, intends to stick to her editor ship. A Glazed Chintze Lamp Shade C HOUSE AND GARDEN Few of the lighter touches in our rooms offer as great opportunity for Individual taste and ingenuity as lamp shades. With the wide variety of ma terials and shapes from whlrh to choose it is possible to work out ef fects to meet any conditions and all varieties of room color schemes.

Stepping in front of Dicky, w ho ap peared only too glad to efface himself, the big surgedn bent down and took his mother in-law's wrinkled hand tenderly in his. "William died with the pen In hi* hand, mother, before he could sigh the will. My mother-in-law stared at hint for a long second, as if trying to under stand him. Then she leaned back against her pillows and closed her eyes as If she were utterly spent. I saw Dr. Bralthwa^te's long slender fingers slip to her wrist, and In a few seconds he nodded reassuringly to us, with an accompanying signal for silence. Indeed. I think there was no one of our group who wished to speak. Lillian and X shared Mother Gra ham's consternation at the news my brother-in-law had just given her, for we knew what unpleasant complica tions involving the guardianship of the Harrison family might follow the adjustment of the dead man's affairs, and 1 fancy Dicky nnd Ids sister were living over again the tragic scene In the hospital room at which Dr. Bralthwaite had hinted. The seconds ticked themselves away interminably on the mantel clock un til my mother in-law, with a hint of returning color to her cheeks, opened here eyes, and looked sternly at all of us. Mother Graham Scored. "Richard must have bundled things," she said. "X ought to have gone down there myself, but I am tied hand and foot by this miserable heart of mine. Tell me everything about it, Kdwin, so that we can see what Is best to be done. There's one thing you may depend on. though. No one gets those children except over my old dead body. They're with me, now- to stay.” I mentally applauded her, even as I shot a furtivevgiance at Harriet Sraithwalte to see her reaction to this sweeping statement. My mother in-law, even In the face of the crush ing blow to her plans which she had Just received, was able to score a point in the contest which she was pretending to wage against her daughter for the custody of the orphaned children. To Harriet Braith walte, however. Ignorant of her mother’s real purpose, the ultimatum was like a personal challenge, and though she said nothing. I think be cause she saw that her husband was about to speak, her flashing eyes afld her firmly set lips fold me that, as Annual Rummage Sale I of Trinity Parish Aid f From 9 to 6 o'Clock SATURDAY, JANUARY 26 at 617 South 16th Street All V KRTISKWKXT.

"You must not blame Richard, mother,” Dr. Braithwaite began firm ly—he is the only one of Mother Gra ham's children or "in-laws" who ever flares to contradict her. “He did exactly what you wished. We took in ironclad will down with us—” Ben in His Hand. "But did you get it directly to the hospital?” Mother Graham inter rufited. "I know Richard"—this with an artistic note of contemp tuous weariness—“he Is such a stickler for the proper procedure, so afraid he won't do everything in ex actly the right way. that If he had five seconds to save his life from a burning building he'd take four of them to adjust his necktie." IJr. Braithwaite'? answer was as gravely answered as If she had Just said the most solemn thing In the world. "We drove directly to the hospi tal,” he said, "and were admitted to William's room at once. Bin— he was unconscious, and remained so until a few moments before his dc-ath.” He paused, and in the tense si- | lenee which followed, 1 think we( all felt as If we were standing by that tragic death bed. "His first words when ho recognized! us," the surgeon went on, "were to beg us to send for a lawyer that lie ; might draw up a will leaving the chil dren to—the joint guardianship of Harriet, Richard and you." MV mother-in-law shot a quick, tii umphant glance at her daughter, then turned her face toward her son-in-law. “The will had already been drawn up on that fashion, and when we told tills to William lie was much gratified. He evidently knew he had but a few moments left, for he asked the physician In charge to give him a stimulant that he might be able to sign the will.” “You know, Kdwin, what will happen if i don’t sign this,’ he said to me as I put the pen in his hand. I hope his words were not a proph ecy, poor fellow, for they were the last words he ever spoke. The pen was on the paper, hut had not yet traced a single line when he col lapsed.” ‘‘They'll lie a prophecy, all right,” my mother said grimly, "Those Har 1 lisons are like bulldogs. LJut how lid you get the children away?'* "When William was taken to the icapital he ordered that no one save Elizabeth's people be notified." Ed ivin returned.
