13 Personal Gossip : Society Notes : Woman's Work : Household Topics' THK BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY, JANUARY 13. 1917. Prof. Stoughton Holborn's lecture before the Drama league yesterday at the Blackstone now and again took a My poke at the pleasures which are the very backbone of social entertain ing. For instance, said the artistic professor, "Greek drama must be es sentially united. It must never be chaotic like what shall T say? a modern dinner party. The Greeks had a better arrangement even at their dinner parses, for there only one per son spoke at a time and everything was done decently and in order." Another statement which evoked a ripple of laughter from the society audience was iliis: "The Greek drama was purely artistic, a creation of the imagination, ii was as far removed from realism as possible. Realism is a sign of decadence. The Greek drama was written for an intelligent audience. The modern drama as sumes that its audience lacks intelli gence and takes great pains to put everything in view of our dull eyes." Another of society's old reliable amusements Prof. Holborn criticised the . opera. He said that had miserably, contemptibly failed in its attempt to be high art because of its mixture of realistic and artistic ele ments. One of his illustrations contained a sparkle of humor. It slipped in so casually that it came like a big sur prise and the audience smiled remin iscently. "1 presume." said he, "that you, like the rest of the world, amuse yourself by writing sonnets." Some of Omaha's unknown poets must have been hidden among the audience, for some of the debutantes and more of the matrons cast surreptitious glances at their companions, as if fearful of detection.

NEBRASKA ! Fashion Hints 1 he consensus of opinion is that crowns in spring huts will he hih. Anions tlte first spring hats will he smart ones of satin, faced with leg horn straw. Tricotins, serc, wool jersey and Poiret twills aro modish fabrics for spring dresses and suits. Raglan sleeves and sleeves cut in one with the yoke are noteworthy features of new spring coats designed ahroad. Rivaling the popular fan of ostrich feather conies a new mode in the form of fans made of eagle feathers. Braiding in soutache and flat vari- : ety is aid to he a feature ot spring suits and this trimming is repeated on many of i)ie hats. Scarfs of Spanish lao are hiing seen more and more frequently and ; surely a id a picturesque note of in terest and charm to evening toilet, more particularly so if the hair is worn high and is topped with a lovely Spanish comb. These lace scarfs will i he a fascinating accessory of spring j dress. i W hile many hats are decidedly of ! Oriental origin, others arc sugges tive of the periods of Francis 1 and Henry IV. They should be set straight on the head and cover it equally, not leaving one side more exposed than the other, and lie brought low down on the brow, in the exact center reckoned from one side of the forehead to the other. Have You Backache, Gout, Rheumatism? (By M. C. I.I CAS, M. D.) American men and women should guard constantly against kidney trouble, because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is tilled with uric acid which the kid neys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and the re sult is kidney trouble, bladder weak ness and often the poison reaches the tissues, causing rheumatism and gout. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead, when your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, lull of sediment, or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night, when you suffer with sick headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, ask your druggist for Anuric (double strength). I have found in practice that Anuric is more potent than lithia and in most cases it will dissolve the uric acid as hot water does guitar. Most people do neglect themselves. Their tongue has a dark brown color, skin sallow, breath bad. yet they fail to sec that their machinery needs attention. Everybody should take a mild laxative at least once a week. A pleasant way to clear the tongue and the highly colored water noticed in the morning is to take a laxative which will cure the inactive liver and biliousness. A pleasant vegetable pill is made up of May-apple, leaves of aloe, and jalap, made into a tiny pellet and coated with sugar. First put up by Dr. Pierce nearly SO years ago. Druggists sell these vegetable pellets in vials, simply ask for Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Advertisement. BHVn BENEFIT COV. CUM- v I Lf iN0 STATUE FUND Major Sadler Chaptw, D.
