OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 10, 1921. mans ion. ct r0.t Salvage Your Delectable Bonnets ONE of our charming Omaha ma trons returning from an eastern trip brought with her a delecta ble new spring hat, all fresti and crisp and that sort of thing. Gabby didn't see it, but imagines it was adorned with green leaves and fruit, if not vegetables. With some elation Mrs. Charming Matron displayed the creation to her husband who was abstractly appreci ative until the price was mentioned. Then he stood aghast. Quickly re renting, however, for ' subtracting from his wife's happiness, he got what comfort he could out of the situation, "Never mind, dear," he remarked. "It will make a good salad when you are through wearing it." . WHAT did he mean, "some where else," Allan Tukey spoke at the luncheon Friday at Hotel Fonte r.elle, upon which occasion Mrs. H. H. Wheeler of Lincoln and Mrs. . Draper Smith of Omaha, carriers of Nebraska's electoral vote to Wash ington, were honor guests. After appropriate remarks and in closing, MY. Tukey said: "I hope the next time one of them wili ng to congress,, or somewhere else." AT the Schumann-Heink ' con cert, two-women, one is petite ami pretty, and you know her quite well, were conversing glibly in French. With all the vivacity of "home grown" Parisiennes, they la-lacd and oui-ouied. Two girls who seemed, to resent what they could not understand, listened. i . "What -are they talking?' one asked the other ratlier sullenly. "Yiddish," came the unhesitating and apparently sincere reply. GABBY sympathizes with a lacal firm whose advertisement has 'appeared in all Omaha papers this week. She reads "Our efforts to effect a clean-up . . "id not materialize." Oh well, tnese are nice spring days, and many of us find that our efforts do not materialize- , TWO of Omaha's most hand some and distinguished fami- lies will shortly be united by a wedding. The .engagement an nouncement will -j most surely be made within the r.cxt 10 days and will cause some little stir in prom inent circles. . ' ' It has been a generally accepted fact that the couple age engaged but the supposition has been that no an nouncement would com for several months.. ''...' The girl 5s a most striking type, is very . tall and her crowning ' glory is a most wonderful . titian shade. She has two brothers, one located in Omaha and another who is in school in the east. Her mother is a most aristocratic appearing silver-haired matron. The mother of the young man also has snowy locks and is well known as a leader in affairs pertain ing to society. ' The young man, an only son, plans to follow the vocation of his father who is prominent in legal circles. At present he has been com pleting his preparations to enter up ,on a career, and although not in Omaha, be manages to spend a good . share of his time with his beautiful . fiancee. And what a wedding it will be! It ' should be wonderful for the prin cipals will ke the most lovely bride and bet looking groom Omaha has seen in Siany a day. . ; WANTED By a prominent bachelor, one roommate guaranteed to be immune 'from the wiles of the fair sex. For many, many year, one of our well-known bachelors lived in peace and contentment with another of his cult. But. alas and alack, one day his faithful friend hied away to a nearby f Nn and took unto himself a wife. & make the agony of part ing wit, 'the roommate worse, our dear bachelor "was asked to be best i . la time he languished in loneli-, ness but at length he discovered an other of his own kind whom he thought would be as good a room mate, if not a better one than the first. ... The two leisurely settled them selves in their new quarters and ail was merry as a marriage bell. Tern pus fugited along on his happy way and then, and then, our bachelor was unexpectedly asked, would he be best man at a wedding of his room mate to a charming out-of-town miss? That wedding is over and our friend is once more lonely. At pres ent he fervently declares that he will faithfully promise to provide any roommate with a wife within ninety days. To eliminate his diffi culties Gabby suggests. Mr. Bachel or, why not find yourself a wife? HOW we all do love the appre ciative guest, the one who praises the cooking, eats his foo4 with relish; and pays the host ess a few subtle compliments. . , The youngest brother of the.en oiomA man u-as invited to dine at the home of his sister-in-law-to-be. Now, although the youngest brother was very young, nevertheless he had been well trained in the ways of diplo macy and should have known better. When .dinner was served, the , eager and hungry guest surveyed the r festal board with growing approval "until his eyes rested upon a wetl done juicy steak. "Aw, gee," he ex claimed in tones of disgust, "if I had stayed home I could have , had chicken tod;"" Musical I o Git 1 it I! Mrs. C.

"Sidney is a very substantial old city, .thoroughly built, thoroughly content and thoroughly, English. "It is just about as warm her; as Nebraska in August. There were some--mosquitoes in oar room last night and we slept under netting." Thirty-five Years Bridge Luncheon Club One of the oldest of the bridge luncheon clubs in the city. is the Fri day club, which has passed the 35th milestone in its career. The club meets fortnightly at the homes of members. At the time of its origin it was a "500" club, but that game has been supplanted by bridge. . In its own unobtrusive way the club has done considerable charity work. ' Members have supported a fced at the Creche; sums have been given to the Child Saving institute, the Old People's home and the Visit ing Nurse association, as well as to other organizations. There are now in the club only two members who were not among the original group, which included Mesdames Ed Haney. sr.; J. D. Fos ter, Everett Buckingham, T. C. Brunner, J.

I 1 I j W ashington Official Society Bureau of The Be. Washington, April 9. Washington was never love !irr than just now. This is the ver diet of the oldest inhabitant. Neithel has it ever been more interesting?, Xc new adminisration in its infancj is giving promise of a social season for next winter which has seldom been surpassed in gaycty or bril liancy. The president, accompanied by Sen ator Frclinghuysen, Senator Kellogg and Senator Hale, all special old friends of his in the senate regime, went out on the public golf course on Tuesday afternoon surprising all the players who recognized the chief executive. The president and Senator Kellogg came off victorious "two up at the finish." The president has heretofore played at the Chevy Chasa club but it consumes much time to get there and to return, while the public links are just back of the presi dent's back yard and are much more beautifully placed, being right along the river front. Society has been anxiously await- ing the beginning of cabinet calling, which has not really begun because cf the continued absence in. New York of Mrs. Charles Evans Hughes, wife of the secretary of state. It would be offensive, in the ethics of official society, for the wives of any other of the cabinet officers to hold a reception before the wife of the secretary of state announces her in tention of doing so. Mrs. Coolidge, wife of the vice president, however, does not come within this restraint. She has al ready had two charming receptions in her suite in the downtown hotel where they make their home. She has quite captivated Washington society and has been pronounced a distinct "succcts." The visit of M. Viviani of France has added much interest to social n-tinna hrre this week, and in lact has inspired several brilliant ones, mainly a dinner party in the White House and one in the French embass3". Almost immediately after the visit of the premier, Mrs. Harding had a small tea, entertaininic the women newspaper writers, the members of the Woman's Press Luncheon club and the Society Editors' association. Mrs. Harding received her guests, in the red parlor, the least formal--of all the state apartments. Miss Harlan presided at a pretty tea table in one corner of the Toom. . Mrs. Harding- was quite handsome in a gown of navy blue and silver gray crepe dc chine, the gray being: a background for navy blue figures. The skirt was accordion pleated and the bodice had a soft white front, with square neck effect. She wore the , familiar broad band pf black about her throat, with the superD ornament of diamonds she wears so frequently recently, and in addition had a chain of crystal beads with broad slides of diamonds several inches apart, the whole finished with crystal tas sels with diamond tops. Mrs Reavis, wife of Representa tive C. Frank Reavis, went to Cleve land at the end of last week wher she met Air. Reavis, who -was re turning from their home in Falls City, Neb. They spent the week end with their son, C. Frank, jr., in Cleveland and returned to their, home in Cleveland Park, Washing ton, on Tuesday. Mr. Reavis has been in Nebraska for several weeks. Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Cooper of Humboldt, Neb., arrived here on Wednesday evening to, spend a few weeks with the former's brother-in-law and sister. Lieutenant Com mander and Mrs. Emery D.

Williams, jr., ar rived on Thursday morning to visit her cousin, Miss Katherine Brooks for a few days. Mrs. Williams is a daughter of Mrs. Harrison and was practically.-raised; in Omaha, al though she made her debut in socie ty in Washington and married here, Mrs. Harrison was among the callers on Wednesday of Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, whose reception (was a very large and interesting one. Mr3. Harrison was warmly greeted on all sides and was one of the most inter esting of the visitors of the after noon, as she had shared the duties of first lady of the land with Mrs, James Robert McKee dining the last year of the administration of Presi dent Benjamin Harrison, father of Mrs. McKee .and father-in-law of Mrs. Harrison.
