Eashion Show on Its Own
Has She Done It to You?
Flask Follows the Swallow? ,
Buy GABBY.
'HT like tlio side show at tlie
eli'cus, there was a counter at
traction running wide open,
under its own steam before and dur
ing the fashion promenade at the
luncheon given by the Rotary club
for its visiting Anns Thursday at
the Athletic club dining room.
"Iron bars no prison make." the
poet tells us, and Gabby rises to re
mark that they are also unreliable
as a protection from prying peepers,
so the balcony spectators w ho had
secured front row seats what with
their short skirts were themselves
the cynosure of all eyes.
One locally famous matron had the
misfortune to present a double per
sonality. That of a bored gentlewo
man from the waist up. Below a
Allstlnguett of the first water. "I’ll
put her up against Ann Pennington
any lime.’’ murmured a graft ful ob
server, and Gabby forgave the or
chestra a few false notes, for the
counter show was ns much a distrac
tion as an attraction.
One thoughtful group on the bal
’ cony had the forethought to drape
a scarf over the balcony rail. .That it
was a printed chiffon made the deed
none the less praiseworthy.
’ "BY Iris heard of ihe cleverest
:ide in town. One who be
ucccs in womens rights. Not
other women’s. 'Deed no. Just hers.
She has solved the "caller” prob
lem. •
livery bride before her has tried
hut it has remained for her to suc
ceed. She lias taken residence in a
palatial home, Jmt'to give a personal
touch she answers tile door in per
son. beating the maid to it just a
minute or so. When the caller drifts
in she finds her hostess charmingly
confused, and also charmingly
dressed, with hat. cent and gloves on.
To (lie favored few who are guar
anteed to he amusing, she explains
prettily lhat she has just come in
land lias liardly had lime to lay aside
her wraps. She is delighted to set
them ete., etc., etc.
Just as prettily and twice as em
phatically she tells the others "Just
going nut: So sorry. But my engage
ment is pressing.. Sweet of you to
come. Do drop in again.” Have you /
been one of these latter? wonders J
Gabby. I
^ Jt^ULLOIV tlie swallow hick I
H home” was the motto of an I
Omaha flask lost by its I
owner in Paris two months ago Old P
Dog Tray hisself couldn't have been I
more faithful than this silver liar- I
binger of spring a homing.
The owner recalled rather clearly. I
considering he was in 1’aris when he I
lost it, that the flask had just been
refilled before the disaster occurred,
and all sorts of rosy dreams played
through his memory as word came
that it was being forwarded.
Alas, there is something in this
old saw about counting your chick
ens before they are hatched. It's the
same about swallows it seems. Some
one. else who loved birdies, counted
the swallows in the customs office,
and all of them had flown on the
flask's arrival last week.
NONE the less thrilling than tlie
rise of a Mack .Senneit beauty's
rise to stardom in the seryus
drama, is the progress of Richard
Mallory, first as a chorus man with
the Junior League revue, then as a
dread Apache in ft dance with Mrs.
Douglas Peters in last year's league
performance, and this year to the
part of the minister in the “Enchant
ed Cottage," which the Community
Players will present April 13 and 14
at Mary Cooper's studio.
Mr. Mallory Is rated one of the
hits of the piece. Famous for his
sense of humor he has given the putt
the skillful Interpretation it deserves
Parties for the show are being ar
ranged by his friends.
