The Omaha PART TWO WOMEN'S SECTION PART TWO SOCIETY VOL. L NO. 26. OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 12, 1920. 1 B TEN CENTS m a.n s ion ' llil Suffragists Gaining Weight " ( By GABBY DETAYLS. AFTER seven years of toil the days of rejoicing arc at hand and workers for women's suffrage are now bringing forth the fatted calf. Since November 2 their labors have been less strenuous and N many a matron who fought valiantly for the cause is now resting on her laurels content since she has cast her first ballot. , One little woman who was most energetic and untiring in the cam paign for suffrage has been taking life a bit easier of late and 'a few days ago confessed to Gabby, "For seven years I grew thinner day by day but this fall I have gained 20 pounds. But then, you know," ' I am not making stump speeches for suffrage, now." T)DYS will be bs,'1 so wc . J" have heard, but girls will be girls, too. A little violinist, who is rapidly attaining a reputation p here, received her first check for a , public performance a short '.ime ago. Those who know -this small musi cian were very curious as to what she would do with the money. Nearly all were certain she would purchase tickets for some good con cert. One matron, whose curiosity became too great to bear.' finally . asked the girL, "What did you do with your check?" And the eternal feminine replied, "I bought a hat." HE penalties for fame an; many and no one realizes this mors truly than those who have achieved it. There are, howevc, many amusing incidents in the lives of those who stand on the "top rung of the ladder." . . - . Annette Kellcrman, who, spent last week in Omaha, relates an amusing tale concerning herself in the "movies." On one occasion she visited a) picture house 'where one of her own films was bciug shown. Near her sat two women, talking in loud tones and utterly oblivious of the presence of, those around them. At one of the diving stunts for which this swimmer is so fa mous, one remarked: "Nobody ever did "that. That is ft tammy." , . , The other, inclined toward cred 4 iility, returned: "Oh, I think it is probably real." "No, it isn't," replied the other in dignantly. "I guess I know a dum my when . I see one." v "Mavhe she was richt." l.iuphed Miss Kcllerman. '"'"--" fiTjANICKY"- thevonly word w 'expressive of the state of . J ," feelings in which one Oma- ha widow N is living these late autumn'- days. For some time she was amembcr of the "grass ; widow' variety, but now she belongs to the "sod" class. She is connected with the royal house of Ak-Sar-Bcn and is prominent social ly. At the present time she is mak ing preparations iur ner marriage X io a icw ions ijiun in me ia.r win ter Or early spring and is attempt ing rather uselessly to hid the fact. " Her secretive actions have viadc mauy' suspect something and most cvejryone is guessing accurately her jjhfns for the future. Shcstoutly denies any and everything, but Gab by wants all to knejw, It. isn't fair to keep secrets, wc1 think. T AWELL ikirowti youngster who has attained rather a reputa tion for his ability to gt t into and his inability to avoid fights, is ' the sorrow of his mother's heart. Warnings have failed to prevent Johnny from arriving home at lcat once a day with tcyn clothing and disfigured countenance. ' At Jast the mother fearing for the beauty of her only child issued a stern threat. Johnny could not play out of doorj if he persisted u being the better half of -a fight. Johnny promised, but a few aft- ernoons later, 'with bleeding lios'.-. he tiptoed softly into his home hop ing to avoid. an irate parent. 'But according to Johnny, "Noltsuch luck." J.w. mother, I wasn't fighting, I was just rctcree-in tor jini ana Bill." " ' MOTHERS are much harassed by growing sons from the time theyoungstcrs persist in putting mud over a starchy white Sunday suit until they are past three times seven. Sometimes they bother even after that, but stop that is an other story. , One of our matrons has a son, a freshman at Central High school, and though his attendance there has been quite limited ' in time, the changes which have occurred in the region of his neck and ears are quite amazing. And his hair frcfen a . tumble weed patch, it has been transformed into brilliantined sleek ' ness. The matron is very thankful for all of thisbut pray let us cou- tinue. , s i A few nights ago the son was pre 4 paring for a dance, and his prepara tions were elaborate necessarily so, because he discovered i mud on his best trousers. v "Say, 'Mom,' where is a brush to clean my clothes.'

Batik is the art which just at present is taking the world by storm and the South Sea islanders who first made use of it now have ardent rivals throughout our" own civilized land. The- famed bobbed-haired women and long-haired men of Greenwich village were first to fol low arts of savagery and quite startled sedate New Yorkers by their weird and garish costumes. But lilfc manv other uely thing's, batik has been transformed into a thing of beauty and many of our rAost dainty pieces, of handwork are made by the odd method which repro duces it. ' A versatile little matron is Mrs Dpane Powell and her artistic na ture immediately discovered unlim ited possibilities in the use of batik, Her work is most . carefully done and those who have seen it declare they came, thev 'saw, and they were conquered by its beauty. The most recent article completed by Mrs. Powell is ,an elaborate negligee of pale gray georgette over lavender. A conventional design in subdued tones decorates the front of the lounging robe and borders the hem, The entire garment is covered with a feathery designjn purple, which i known as, crackle work. The effect is one oKdaintincss and fra gility. Maurice Block, who is in charge cVtlic Fine Arts society textile ex liiTTTl now in progress at the Public Library, has noted the work of this Omahaii and upon request was granted permission to add this latest ot evidence of the talent of Mrs. Powell to the display. 1 - Club Concert Patronesses The patronesses for the entertain ment of the Princeton Triangle club and performance, which will he -tiiycn Christmas evening at the !
