Seen as Others See Us
Graduation Exercises of Omaha School Give Actor
Some Ideas for a New Character Sketch.
By GABBY.
□HE next time "Chick” Sale comes
to the Omaha Orpheum theater
wo may have a chanc* to see
ourselves as others see us.
"I got material for an entire new
set at the Dundee school graduation
exercises Wednesday," said Mr. Sale.
Mr. and Mrs. Sale were there to
see Miss Edith Victoria Robins,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. V'.
Robins, receive her diploma. Mr.
Robins and Mr. Sale are first, cousins.
"Splendid children," Mr. Sale said,
"but, well trained as they were, their
little gestures and expressions were
typical of the occasion."
Mr. Sale Is continually on the look
for new material for his acts.
He ’observes very closely and the
characters he portrays are more a
revelation from life than caricature.
His mother was for many years a
probation officer In their Illinois
some town. Some of her experiences
gave him his start.
It has been noted flint Mr. Sale
uses his hands to great advantags
In portraying his characters. Yet he
disclaims any special study of hand
movement. He takes on a certain
•haracter and lets the character con
trol him, he says.
If Jlr. Hales doesn't want the public
to know he has three fine children
residing In Pelham, N. Y., we advise
him to keep his wife at home. Khe
can't resist them as a topic for con
versation.
"Too many people exploit their
children, or the fact of their happy
marriage," said Mr. Hale. "I think
those things should tie token for
granted and not talked about In
public."
Mrs. Sale does not appear on the
stage with her husband. Hhe Is trav
eling with him for a few weeks to
break his long absence from home.
They go from hcie to Winnipeg and
then west to the roast. Before her
marriage Mrs. Kale played the violin
professionally.
"The public doesn't understand the
ii'-ior,” Mr. Hale said In conversation.
"When the night's performance Is
over It Is his 6 o'clock. He goes to his
hotel, which is his home, and visits
around with his friends while the
public comments 'a bunch of actors'.”
^-|-silKY can Iterate and reiterate'
I that the day of the flapper is
over, but who will believe It, for
spring, that sly damosel, tins but one
edict, women of 40 (for that matter
all women) must look like 16 if they
would lie within hailing distance of
the dernier cri.
Must look 16, yes and entirely pos
sible It Is, what with hair shingling
obtaining Its fourth, or is it Its fifth,
lease on life! and skirts creeping track
up to 12 and 14 Inches.
La Boschin, Just bnek from New
’Fork, tells us that frocks were
never so youthful as now. Collars and
cuffs, and vesteos are In league
against sophistication for no one can
look thoroughly of the world worldly
with a bit of creamy lace at his
“throat and wrist" as Louisa M. Al
cott, and June Austen used, so chas
tely, to remark.
The omnipresent, Peter Pan collar,
refuses to be unseated from Its high
estuto, Mme. La Boschin goes on to
enlighten us, and further proof that
the day of the village lady cut-up Is
gone forever. Is that soft blues and
greens, oranges so thoroughly purged
of wickedness as to l>e almost a deep
buff, replace their more vivid, eye
challenging,' sisters.

bluette, and tile. If one would dress
In chamois, pine bark, or rust (not
materials, colors m'dear?) one would
still be within fashion's pale. And if
one must he daring, In a subtle way,
black and white satin are among the
fir.si ranking inodes.
Cape dresses, eton dresses, and!
middy dresses, give one a range of
styles trustily innocent and naive.
Trimmings are everywhere and as
varied as *»ne would expect with the
world to ((yaw from. If one would

one may wear a Chinese neckline.
Otherwise follow the Kus-lans, in the
matter of styles. Boyish suits with
little detachable capes are smart, and
a gardenia on the lapel Is no error
in judgment, for any type.
IUFINDS who have sepn Mrs. 0'on
rad Young wearing a very lovely
old *< art Its soft rich colors
attesting Its age, have been top] that
this Is one of the famous "pilgrim"
scarfs which old Mobnmedans have
worn for centuries when they made
pilgrimage to the sacred shrine at
Mecca.
This one, which Js patterned In r«»Ne
and gray squares with borders of
rose, leads one to believe that present
day fashion expert* have borrowed
their idea* flu sport scarfs from the
I *erslans.
These scarfs which we throw so
nonchalantly across our shoulders,
I
when aklew are balmy, or nealh which
we huddle when cruel wind* blow,
the Mohammedans wore as turbans,
each passing one end closely about
his throat as he set off In the heat
and dust, with a staff of bitter
almond In his hand. .
Miss Gertrude Young of New York,
who will be remembered as a frequent
visiter here, gave the Scarf to Mrs.
Young on the latter's visit In the
east, from which she returned last
week. Mrs. Young also brought with
her the water color done by Miss
Young which took Mrs. Harold Gif
ford’s prize in the fine arts exhibit
some time ago. It hits since taken a
prize in the Brooklyn Art museum
exhibit. Miss Young, who is suffer
ing ill-health at tills time, has gone
to Thomasville, (la., to convalesce.

Evidences of its popularity are seen

with a group of exquisitely shaded

belying the real serviceability, are
attracting attention.
