Miss Juliet, music supervisor in the schools, is especially distinguished for having instituted the music memory contests in Omaha schools. Many informal affairs have included Mrs. Brown as a guest. She will be honored with a family dinner party at the home of her parents on Thanksgiving day and will leave shortly following. The photographer caught Miss Margaret Harte. daughter of Mr. and Mr*. H. G. Harte, on the porch of her Dundee home ono afternoon when she waa testing the weather sang hat and cloak In the pale Novem ber sunlight. k Mias Harte la one of the most popular members of the young set. Although she has never developed her decided musical talent, she Is famous In her group as a singer of "blue gongs."

Rules the Age By GABBY. WHO says It's a psychological age? Not Gabby, if anyone should ask you. She avers it's the day of the pure commercialist. She sneaked this one from a group of young engaged things talking the other day over their hot fudge | sundaes. ' One of them, the most original of her species at cornering the recalci trant dollar in the snappiest possible fashion, was the speaker. She is in the vanguard of fashion and her sug gestion had the weight of authority. She announced that she was sending her fiance’s picture and a sample of his handwriting to a character analyst on a Chicago paper. “Want to know whether you'll have a happy married life with him,” said someone. “No, I want to finance It,” she pertly made answer. “If his face Is interesting enough, and of course I think It is, I’ll win a $100 prize for my entry. I know what his char acter Is.” IF that isn't proof of commercial ism Gabby hears that the great .- god Credit has penetrated the youngest set. Dicky Selby, 4 year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Selby, vastly ad mired Sara Lee Huff. Infant child of the Lee Huffs, Jr. “Can't we borrow her, mother?” he asked plaintively cno day after a call. “They wouldn't let us have her,” was the motherly retort. "Well then buy her, so she's ours,” he pursued. “We haven't money enough,” was the reply. “Well, charge her then,” he said with the finality of the young mod , enlist who knows a thing Is settled ■ In the easiest possible way. BUT then, since Gabby Is a wom an, and women can prove either side of a subject, Vir ginia Carlisle, who has been selling Christmas cards in the most enthusi astic pre-holiday fashion, has found that even commercial transactions have their softer Aspects. On two of her high-powered selling calls she has had tea served her by her de lighted customers. ONE appreciates the metropoll tanlsm of Omaha and environs when every few weeks a new artist or personality Is discovered do ing something quite individual and expressive. Miss Ve Elizabeth Cady of Conn ell Bluffs, though doubtless known to many for her talents, Is the latest to come to Gabby's attention. Miss Cady Is spending this year •t home. For the last eight years she has maintained a studio In Chi cago doing commercial art. • (Jt particular Interest are her Ulus, tratlons.for two books on the Christ mas market, “The Two Wooden Sol diers and a Hobby Horse,” by Vollard. and "Bonbon-ette,” a Hand McNally publication, written by Mrs. Mildred i Plew Merryman. Both books are for children and the beautiful illustra tions are exquisitely colored. Miss Cady is a true artist In spirit. She declares she gets aa much pleas ure making an illustration for a tomato can as in decorating a delight ful book. In either case work well done gives the same satisfaction. THE week-end guest had arrived. She was a middleaged woman of good manners. Her hostess, a Bemis park resident, had been a boarding school friend in the long ago. By 10 o'clock on .Saturday night their first round of visiting was pret ty well out. and both, accustomed to the “early to bed” adage, were sleepy, particularly the guest, who had been on a train tho night before. But neither of these refined gentlo women wanted to seem unappreciative of the other’s society by suggesting retirement. Neither one knew whose place it was to take the lead. Fortunately (or they might he sit ting there yet) the hoStess loved frankness, and after the hall chimes had sounded out 11 rich low tones, she said: "How about It, I.conore, whose place is it to suggest that we go to bed?” Leonore confessed she did not know. "Ah, my book of etiquette," ex claimed the hostess, going to her wall bookcases, from which she re moved one of the latest and best known volumes on what to do and when and why. For one hour they searched gtid nothing could they find on ‘the sub ject. Finally, well after midnight, (hey shook hands like two prl/.e fighters and made a formal and mutual agreement to retire. But the question remains unan swered. Whose place is it? (iabby would like to know. THE elder son of the Alan Mc Donalds having reached the splendid age of 6 or G or so, accompanied his parents on a motor trip east this fall. Their itinerary required a bit of travel by boat on Lake Erie. Tho lake was turbulent and had young Donald’s Interest not been sus tained by ice cream for dessert it is doubtful If lie would have re mained seated through the meal. Safe on dry land again, and ruminating on the too recent past, Donald inquired thoughtfully: "Mother, does ttie map show all those bumps on Dike Erie?'* Mrs. Fraser to Give a Musical for Her Mother. Mrs. W. A. Fraser is expecting her mother, Mrs. (ieorgo N. CJuillmun. of , Dallas. Tex., to arrive Monday fur several weeks' visit.

Northwall Library l____ One of the most Interesting booki in Omaha, perhaps the most Inter esting. is a copy of Bran Stoker s "Parcula, ’ which the owner, M. J2. North wall, has had hours! in human skin. a Mr. Northwall has a. penchant for the rare and unusual In books, combined with an artistic taste and he has worked out bookbindings that are at once artistic, rich and appropriate to the author's theme. The story of Dracula is the tate of a male vampire. Its peculiar binding is blood red in color. The work was done in England, and it was with diffi culty that a person was found to tan the skin. Hysman's ‘ Against the Grain." called by critics the world’s most enotlc book, Mr. Northwall has had bound In full crushed black levant, with a white skull of inlaid leather. The skull in turn is bound in a wreath of roeea of inlaid red and green leathers. The story or Against ins uram, < is said to he the Inspiration for Oscar Wilde's "'Dorian Gray." Henrt Dom shyd is preparing 15 illustrations for the book. Mr. NorthwaU has more than the usual amount of good fortune in his collection of rare editions. One book which he picked up for a small sum was found to be a volume of high value. In a solander full morocco case he has a copy of Rotiert Louis Steven son's "'Morality of the Profession of Letters." There are only 208 of these books in existence. Mr. NorthwaU has used moire for the doublure and flyleaf. The moire Is tooled In gold and decerated with designs in varicolored leathers. The sale last week In New Tork of a first edition printing of Stevenson a "Kidnapped," for 110,800, and of one of this authors poems for J1.500, makes comment on Mr- Northwall* book the more timely. /-- ' a Reading From St. Joan hv Bernard Shaw. v_:_/ Mrs. Anthony French Merrill will read from Bernard Shaw's play "St. Joan,” a New York success of last year, when she appears In her week ly lecture at Hotel Blackstone Mon day morning.
