Commercialism, One Way or
Another. 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?'*

Human Skin Binds Book in
M. E. 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.
