Have You ;a System for
'Remembering How
To Remember?,
By GABBY
REMEMBERING howk to re
mimber - is' almost, as.hard..; as
,. just remembering. 'A professor
at Columbia , university.; tells how
telephone numbers may be recalled
by association of ideas. For' in
stance:', ; - '.v.W
Suppose r you want to remember
"Spring 8521;" This number imme
diately conjures up in your mind an
old man and a young man. The old
man is 85 and the young man is 21.
Old ' age comes first rightly, ' of
course,- and especially in this ; case.
The total of the number is 16. Yoti
can remember the young man's age
by the iact thauhe has just reached
the years of voting Then,, if later,
you forget the old man's age, you
can recall that .the sum of the. fig
ures of .his age is 13, .takii:? it ' fqr
eranted that you remember the sum
of the.entire number is 16, -and it, is
assumed,. that you - will remember
ome of the key pojnts.'. , "f-U
Now. rhavinff found that the sum
ot the first two figures is 13, How are,
i:1 jl i n.i An f
you going 10 acciac-n is t, r u,
or 76,. or so on? The answer is
easy. , You merely ; recall that the
sum of the'; figures ? of the young
manVage is 3-and that the differ
ence in the figures of. the old man's
age 'Is 3. Then it doesn't require
a mathematical 'genius to figure out
that the only numbers whose dif
ference ,is 3 and whose sum is 13 are
8 and 5. Then, remembering it is an
c!4 man that you are after and that
58 does not make an old. man. 85
must be the firs, two numbers. Then,
if you haven't forgotten the youn?
man's age when arriving at the pld
man's four sco.e and five, you put on
the 21'and you have "8521 -Simple,
isn't it? ' v
All of which calculation wouid be
useless .should - you have forgotten
the name, of the telephone exchange

is -just on the 'threshold of life and
the old man is in "the second child

Gay Masqueraders
Frolic at Club
Party
The Land of, Make-Believe was
the masquerade party given Friday
"evening at Harte hall by the Winter
Dancing club. Helen and Herbert
Smails were reminscent of "when we
were a couple of kids." '
"Tomboy" (Mary). Taylor was a
swagger sailor lad who had just come
into port and had not yet lost his sea
legs. Quite a clinging vine was
Howard Bastian, whose soulful cyes
"vamped" the male guests.
; Dorothy Hale was more than
heart-breaking as the Queen of
Hearts, who made some tarts, but
Old King Cole, that merry ola soul,
was nowhere to be seen.
Robert Hughes appeared as the
cornfield sdarecrow, but really looked
as though he had come from a straw
stack. Mr. and Mrs. Harry S. Byrne as
the staid college professor and the
petit ballet dancer were quite a
contrasting couple. A fairy queen
was Mrs. Walter .Byrne; her hus
band, whose distinguishing marks
were a huge flowing red tie and
bright red stockings, reminded of
"school days, school, days, dear old
Golden Rule days."
The Klu Klux Klan had a repre
sentative in Lee Mitchell and the
Spanish fandango had an exponent
in Marjorie Wilcox. '
Danier Boone and a demurely Pur
itan wife were Mr. and Mrs. Earl
Burket. Daniel fought the heat of
his raccoon skin cap valiantly until
the time to unmask, when he cheer
fully admitted the degree of heat
he had suffered.
' Even the blue law reformers
sneaked in two of their disciples.
Howard Dunham with stern visage
portrayed the masculine blue law
advocate and Jacey Allen in ruffled
and faded calico was the weaker sex.
Mack Sennett's Bathing Beauty of
1895 was present,' as were a pair of
stowaways. Martha Washington, a
Spanish pirate whose dagger dripped
blood, and a sunbonnet baby were
among the many who were effectu
ally disguised. , ; "'
And did everyone have a good
time? Rather. .
Valentine Party

One of the largest parties at the
Valentine dinner-dance at the Uni
versity club ' Saturday evening was

24. The centerpiece of the table was
a huge frosted cake, containing fa
vors, from which were extended rib
bons in scarlet white and green to
each place. Valentines marked the
place of each guest. The flowers
used were red roses and lilies of the
valley combined with ferns and elec
tric lights in red and green, added a
novel touch to the decorations. Can
dies were also in the fraternity col
ors, scarlet, white and green. Among

Fine Arts
Among the potteries on exhibit at
the library are 21 pieces of the Fulr
per variety. The Fulper glazes are
brought forth in. a most unusual
way. All .Fulper-pottery has been
subjected-to the high heat of at
least 2660 degrees Farenheit, the
body and glazes maturing in the
same fire. .
The Fulper glazes include the
powdered class, actual reproduc
tions of the ancient Chinese glazes;
the matte t class which has a sleek,
smooth surface like the' skin of
fruit;, the wistaria class, 'with their
pastelle texture; the mirrored class
which give . a high -reflection;
flambe class, displaying the: gor
geous colors seen in the sky at sun
set;' the lustre class, giving off an
iridescence similar to oil' on
water, and the crystal class show
ing the weird swirling reflection of
moonlight on water. .
Other varieties" found in the 200
pieces, include one piece by Doro

The New York Sun of February
2 makes , a comment on Eugene
O'Neill which is of interest in Oma
ha when it is remembered that Prof.
Paul H, Grunnnann selected one of
O'Neill's . dramas, "Beyond . tlw
Horizon," as 'the first of his series
of ' interpretative studies before the
Drama league this season. The Sun
said: '
"Adolph Klauber deserves much
credit for the manner in .which he is
sponsoring this season's plays of
Eugene O'Neill, who is certainly one
of our leading playwrights, Mr.
Klauber is presenting 'The Em
peror Jones' at the Princess for a
regular evening .engagement and he
is giving Mr. O'Neill's latest play,
"Diff'rent," at a' series of special
matinees at the : Selwyn theater.
The Emperor Jones', is flawless.".
Omaha's interest, does -not .stop
with Eugene O'Neill. A former
Omaha boy is playing with the
Provincetown . players, Sidney
Powell, who keeps an antique shop
during the day and appears on
Broadway at night. He - is playing
in "Matinata" on a double bill with

foremost 'position among English
dramatists, and although a naturally
"brilliant speaker, his stage experience

Ash Wednesday Ushered in
With Blaze of Glory :
' At Washington
Bureau of The Bee.
Washington, Feb. 12.
Ash Wednesday was" ushered in
with a veritable blaze of glory by
the many throngs of Washington so
ciety. Everybody either gave a din
ner party or dined out on Shrove
Tuesday night, and then all found
their way either to the Calhoun
Mardi-Gras ball or some one of the
private dances, or to the hotels
where dinner-dances and supper
dances add to the gayety and help
along1 the lonely stranger.
The Congressional club carried
everything before it in the morning
of Shrove Tuesday, with jts annual
breakfast, when Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson and Mrs. Thomas F. Mar
shall were guests of honor. It was
a handsome affair in the ball rooms
at Rauscher's, where the club had
arranged its collection of state flags,
recently acquired, as a frieze around
the larger ball room where the ta
bles were laid, A long narrow table
was arranged on a platform where
the guests of honor, Mrs.' Charles B.
Ward, the president of the club,
of New York, and the other officers,
and ex-officers of ; the club
were seated. These distinguished
guests and officers seated thus
"above the salt" all faced the rest of
the several hundred women . who
were seated below at small tables
about the room. Mrs. Ward, vith
Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Marshall, re
ceived the company in the smaller
ball room , and it was a really
friendly atmosphere, not unminglcd
with a .note of sadness for some
who are being detached from the of
ficial ; life, not entirely through
choice. Mrs. Wilson wore one of
her most fetching costumes of black
and blue, this time a turquoise, blue
instead of her favorite old French
biue. Her gown was a one-piece af
fair with heavy embroidery on the
bodice, done in shades of turquoise
in silk and beads. The ; skirt had
panels rather than drapery of the
dull finished satin, and they were all
faced with the blue, the facing show
ing in outline about the edges. The
sleeves were elbow length and she
wore long white gloves and her cus
tomary bunch of orchids.- Her hat
was a small one of black velvet with
pipings of turquoise and a bunch of
turquoise ostrich feathers arranged
at the back of the hat, standing high
and falling over the left shoulder.
Mrs. Wilson wore a long full
wrap lined -with turquoise, which
matched her-gown. Mrs. Marshall
wore a handsome black visiting cos
tume of kitten's car cloth em
broidered in heavy black silk and
finished with a collar and cuffs of
seal skin. Her wrap also matched
her gown and she wore a black pic
ture hat, with black plumes and a
siring of pearls. Jewels were rather
conspicuous, Mrs. WilsoiV'.wearing a
necklace of diamonds ' with diamond
pendant, which is : rather unusual
with her. The most unique orna
ment noted among the many was
a necklace of corals worn -by Mrs.
Keyes, wife of' the ' senator from
New llampshire,' who is acquiring
some fame and much- criticism for
recent magazine - articles.; It was
composed of grerit mounds of richly
colored and beautifully carved red
corals, the largest one in the center
resembling a huge brooch. Long
earrings and a brooch to match were
also worn and attracted much ' at
tention. Mrs. Ward,' president of
the club,' who will retire on March 4,
wore, a cos'tume of brown georgette
with touches of pink and blue in the
embroidery, with' full round skirt
heavily embroidered: Narrow brown
silk fringe finished the ; edges i of
everything and a large hat of brown
tulle and tiny-bright flowers-completed
: her costume. : .-; Y V
General Pershing is -quite jo'iie' of
the gayest in the social whirl.' He
had another one of his really bril
liant receptions last Sunday after
noon when Mrs. Francis E. Warren
acted again as hostess, for him, and
he has been a'dinncr guest some
where every flight for a fortnight.
On Monday night he was a dinner
guest of Mr. and Mrs. Raphael R.
Govin of New" York, and went in
their party to the Southern Relief
ball at the Willard, and was a guest
in the Govin boxes. The general
displayed his -gallant bravery that
night when he entered the ball room
rather late, escorting Mrs. Henry C.
Corbin, one -of the wealthiest and
