,How to Be a
Leader in
Society
A Character Analyst Ad
vises Prominent Matron
Of Our City.
By GABBY DETAYLS.
A PROMINENT matron of our
city recently visited a charac
ter analyst.
"I want to become a social leader,"
slie said by way of introduction.
"Money is no object, for my husband
is a successful bootlegger. Now how
can you help nie?"
For the benefit of poor folks who
Gabby wjll recount some of the bits !
of wisdom given this would-bc leader, i
Seating Dinner Guests.
"When seating guests at your din
ner table," began the analyst, "study
their heads. Do not seat Mr. K.,
who has a heavy upper development
(a Daniel Webster dome, Gabby
would say) next to Miss C, whose
forehead slopes decidedly back to her
faultless marcel. Why? They have
nothing in common. Your Daniel
Websters will be dreaming and
philosophizing while those of the
Uncle Sam profile will be thinking
quickly in the world of affairs.
'Tut your. Websters together and
let them dream. Place your typical
a . i . . i i r . i . .
.Americans un 111c omcr siuc 01 mc
'table where they will soon- be dis-
9 cussing the latest gelt scores, tue
' best sellers (and cellars) ' and the
prospective pennant winners for the
. season.
y ' Be a Matchmaker.
' "Next you must remember," said
the acute-minded analyst, "that no
one is a thorough-going society
leader without being a matchmaker.
And, alter all, tins will be your great
fnrt Ttv iiiarrvinc off nnfl n
vmir Kfiittifiil nrrvtpcynpQ in a Kcw
York lawyer, another to a diplomat
in the Orient and still another to a
titled European, you will establish
coaling stations for yourself, as it
were, which will give you pleasure
on your travels as well as prestige.
"But you must know your busi
ness. Your matches must', turn
out successfully. Pick out a dainty
creature with retrousse nose, indi
catincr a vieldinsy disoosition. and a
chin curving concavely from lip to
fy tip, denoting patience, for the dom-
y mating cave man type wun tne
prominent aggressive nose and im
patient receding chin. That will be
a charming combination of the bur
ly Othello and gentle Desdemona.
"Yes, my dear, before you thrust
two young people out together in
the moonlight, study them. By all
means look at their thumbs. Don't
ever try to mate flat-thumbed peo
ple. If they marry, wifey will be
back to father within a month. Flat
tbiimbed people are obstinate, and
in this case two negatives do ! not
make a positive.
' , Week-End Parties. '
"Nothing like week-end parties
for -making social 'hay.' That is,
providing you aie a shrewd hostess.
Better omit them entirely if you are
not. Week-end parties establish an
intimacy of acquaintance which will
redound to your credit and glory,
if, in the vernacular, you 'get away
with them. New, if you are planning
a camping party, choose the coarser
textured people. Get the rugged
type of stocky, athletic build, and
medium to coarse hair. They will
j enjoy ail tt.c narusmpo, even
r V V I f t 1 1 1 1 I 111! llll.Aa 1 L llV, V JJUl

every bug and worm encountered.
If you are taking that kind of an in
dividual, make the trip camping de
luxe for him. You can afford it,
of course, considering your hus
band's business.
Marrying Off Your Children.
"If you want the good that you do
to live after you and not be 'interred
with your bones,' take an unobserved
interest in the man your daughter
marries and the girl who wins your
son. Remember the cases are en
tirely different. You will wish your
daughter to marry for money, while
vour son should have a frugal wife.
He should look for the square-head,
long-fingered type, while your daugh
ter should have the energetic, motive
minded individual. So again, study
your types!
Chauffeurs and Maids.
. "Not the least important asset to a
i-. -nartne -n r rnnr mam
should be artistic and good on detail.
You should know by looking at her
whether or not she will leave dust in
the corners. Short-fingered people
are not eood on details. Square
palms denote planning ability. Re
member this in choosing your house
keeper, who should be an expert in
that department. Choose your chauf
feur for reliability and mechanical
genius and you need have no fear of
your daughter eloping with him.
High Lights at Receptions.
"Receptions, as do nothing else, af
ford opportunity for catching the
high lights. Whether you are re
ceiving yourself, or being received,
you have occasion to greet many
people in only a word or two. The
person of culture never "holds up"
a line. She must get her personality
over in a moment and in a word. In
a flash she must size up her "man."
Here is superb opportunity to apply
character analysis.
"For example, here comes a de
cided brunette. That type is given
to negative moods, you know. What
will you say to her? You must not
jolt her. Give her something sym
pathetic. If her daughter has just
married, make some remark about
losing a daughter but gaining a son.
She won't care if the remark is trite.
Your sentimental sympathy will make
her heart warm toward you.
"But . what about the buoyant
blonde? Take her off her feet I You
won't offend her easily and you must
interest her. Give her the up and
coming stuff, and 'cut the sympathy.
Date lic'r up for a poker game, or the
gambling top. Do it quickly. Don't
plan. She will change her mind if
you give her time to think it over.

the determining factor, however, you
must remember. The build, facial
expression (which reveals life's ex
periences to the trained eye), and all
the fine minutia which go with analy
sis, must be taken in consideration.
Not an Occult Study.
"This business is an exact science,
you know," the analyst concluded.
"There is nothing occult or mystic
about it, as some people foolishly be
lieve. None of us but recognizes in
stinctively that face, hands, build,
expression, etc., reveal character, but
most of us haven't realized yet the
far-reaching significance which analy
sis may have in all walks of life. -It
is an established thing in the busi
ness world, but is only beginning to
be seized upon as a force in social
life. You are among the pioneers in
this aspect of the work. Do you
think you care to go in for it, re
membering there is much to learn
about which I have only hinted?"
Husband for President
"Heavens, yes, the 'customer' re
plied, "only instead of aiming at so
cial leadership, I think I might as
well make my husband president of
the United States. With what you
could teach me, it would be a simple
matter, I believe, and then, of course,
I would have the leadership, too."
That is why one of our prominent
matrons is so busily studying during
these hot August days.
GABBY was attending a meeting.
Two women were exchanging
trmihle on the side.
"How is your sister," asked one.
"No better and no worse," was the

Lincoln Plans To
Have a Drama
League
Lincoln is ambitious for a drama
league. Mrs. T. L. Mead and Miss
Hazel Snell believe there is need
for such an organization and enough
local talent to justify it A meet
ing will be called early in Septem
ber. They contemplate affiiation
with the National Drama league if
they organize. The Omaha Drami
league withdrew from the national
body a year ago.
It is interesting to know that
Larry Raugh, a former Lincoln boy,
has the leading part in "Prunella,"
which is now being rehearsed by the
Chicago Drama league for an early
fall or late tnmmcr oerformance.

their picture.
The twins, Frances and Jennie Bares,, age 4, were putting a picture
puzzle together when the photographer snapped them. The charming
little Spanish dancer is Teresa Gomez, Mexican. Teresa and Luz, who is
shown in the group with the teachers, are sisters..
Charities Benefit
"Twenty dollars worth of food and
fun for $5," said Mrs. George Doane
Friday, referring to the Associated
Charities benefit dinner which will
be given in the new Brandeis res
taurant the evening of September IS.
George Brandeis is donating the en
tire cafe floor, the food, the service
and the orchestra which will furnish
music for 'dancing.
"This means $5,000 for the chari
ties, if Omaha people will attend,"
said Mrs. George Doane, secretary.
At 11 o'clock that evening a mid
night revue will be presented. Mrs.
Howard H. Baldrige, who is general
chairman for the benefit, promises
that it will be something "unsur
passed in Omaha frolic annals."
The English grill room, done in
mahogany, the French room, renais
sance type, and the private dining
rooms of the restaurant will be util
ized for the dinner and also for the
two luncheons which will go with
the benefit series.
Juan Muller of Rome, Paris, Lon
don, New York and Chicago, man
aging director of this new establish
ment, has already arrived in Omaha
and the object of his life for the
next four weeks, according to his
own declaration, is to make the bene
fit dinner more wonderful than
Lucullus of Rome or. Esccoficr of
France could have originated in their
most fruitful epicurean days.
Mr. Muller is Swiss by birth. At
12 years of age he was a page in
the Quirinal at Rome, the greatest
hotel in that historic city, favored by
royalty for their private fetes.
The Rcstaurante Josef ,of Paris
next claimed him and then the Sa
voy and Rit2 of London, also the
Sunday
.
to Set New Mark
Romanos, preferred by King Ed
ward and very popular among Eng
lish sportsmen. As steward of Lord
Beresford he later toured the world,
becoming familiar with all the del
icacies afforded by India, Australia
and New Zealand, where prolonged
visits were made.
Cafe Martin in New York was
the first American restaurant with
which Mr. Muller was identified.
After a successful experience as
manager there, he went to Chicago
where he took charge at the Con
gress hotel, remaining until the op
ening of the La Salle in 1909. In
1913 he returned to the Congress,
leaving only to open a place of his
own, the Seville, a high-class res
taurant on Sheridan road. This he
sold to come to Omaha and open
the Brandeis cafe in September.
The charities dinner will be his
debut as a managing director in
Omaha. His great pride in his work
as an art will lead him to no limit
in presenting something unusual to
Omaha on this occasion "the equal
of anything in New York," it will
be, he assures. "Every man in the
kitchen will be an artist," Mr.
Mueller has said. He has secured
one chef from the Blackstone in
Chicago and another from the Ritz
in London.
"All we have to do is sell tickets,"
said Mrs. Baldrige. Those who
make reservations early will get pre
ferred or 'ringside' seats next to the
dance floor." . The public is invited
to attend this affair, which will not
be full dress. Mrs. J. J. McMtillen,
Harney 1222. is taking reservations;
tickets at Matthews book and Bea
ton's drug stores.

Marriage and a Career
Marriage and a career.
Husbands and, well, say Poetry?
My dear, I would not for the world
discourage you; but
Well, here is my story:
I wrote a poem once, a good one,
too.
I sent it to a magazine, it was ac
cepted. I had maintained a modest silence,
though puffed up with pride,
Till it appeared,
And then I hurried with it to my
husband,
And, with a throbbing heart, stood
waiting while he read it.
This he did slowly and carefully.
He gave it back to me without a
word of comment
Either upon its content or its ar
tistry; v
But, with an injured air you know
the way they do
He said:
"Why have you kept this thing a
secret from me. Mary?"
I was a bit dashed, still in my new joy
I got away with it.
But, when again genius laid hold on
me
And wrung from out my soul an
other gem of poesy.
Without delay, I took it to my hus
band, Again I stood with throbbing heart
and waited.
All this was years ago, my dear;
but I can see him now,
An ample man, with heavy rims
around his glasses,
Holding that precious slip of paper
in his hand
And slowly reading.
He read it over twice, three times:
He turned the paper over as though
to be assured
That he had seen it all
And then he gave it back to me.
He looked me over thoughtfully;
He laid. a gentle hand upon my
shoulder
And said, in such a kindly voice,
"There, there, dear, that's all right.
Suppose I just don't go to the office
today
And you and I will take a good
long ride into the country,
The air will do you good."
This thing or something like it hap
pened to me twice, three times;
I've finished now, even a wife can
bear only so much,
And now I know that first sweet
child of my unfettered fancy
Will never have a little brother.
Marriage and a career?
Husbands and, well, say Poetry?
Was Alice Carey married? Or her
sister. Thoebe?
Does Amy Lowell have a husband?
And can you mention a second fa
mous poem by Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe?
My dear, I would not for the world
discourage you:
But, child, not all "the mute in
glorious Miltons rest in country
churchvards.

Small Craft
Popular on
Potomac
Impetus Given to Boating
By Presidential Use of
the Mayflower.
Bureau of The Bee,
Washington, Aug. 13.
Almost all of official Washington
is taking itself to the seaside, the
mountains or the river and bay this
week-end. The frequent use of the
Mayflower, the presidential yacht,
by President and Mrs. Harding has
given an impetus to boating. The
river is full of small craft of all
kinds and not for many years have
there been so many yacht clubs on
the Potomac as there are just now.
The President and Mrs. Harding
returned on Tuesday morning from
the longest trip they have made on
the Mayflower. Their party was
much smaller on the return trip than
when they went up to Plymouth and
on to Portland. Senator and Mrs.
Frelinghuyscn and Senator and
Mrs. Phipps went up with them, and
Senator and Mrs. New returned
here with them, along with Secre
tary Christian.
The speaker of the house of rep
resentatives, who, with Mrs. Gillett,
went up on the Mayflower and to
the Weeks' lodge, returned here by
rail Monday morning, but Mrs. Gil
lett remained in the north and if
now having a visit from her son-in-law
and daughter, Mr. and Mrs.
Reginald Foster, who have but just
returned from their wedding trip to
Bermuda.
The past week was the dullest,
socially, which Washington has
known this summer. The dullness
will continue, too, until congress has
had its recess and gets back on the
job. Few of the congressional peo
ple will return to their homes unless
they are in the eas., as it is hardly
worth while for them to make long
trips for so short a time.
Secretary of State and Mrs.
Hughes arc thoroughly enjoying the
beautiful suburban and isolated place,
"Graystone," the home of the
Thomas Armats, which they have
leased for the summer season. They
will remain out there until well into
October, for the early autumn is one
of the most beautiful seasons in
Washington.
The secretary of state will be the
busiest host of all during the dis
armament conference which opens
Armistice day. It is estimated that
the conference "Kirr-bring to AVssrr"""
ington no less than 500 brilliant men
and women of almost all nationali
ties. Already those responsbile for
housing and entertaining them are
busy with the puzzle of proper
quarters. It has been decided by
seme of the embassies and legations,
those which are the most spacious,
to entertain the parties from their
countries there, the secretaries being
the ones to be put at the inconven
ience of finding accommodations
where they can for those weeks. The
gayeties attending the conference are
likely to begin the first of November
and to continue until the first of
January. The presence here of the
delegates will inspire an earlier
opening of "the little season" than
has ever been known before and the
"little season" will be merged into
the real one.
Senator Hitchcock spent the last
week-end in Atlantic City, where he
went to join Mrs. Hitchcock and
Miss Ruth Hitchcock, at the Ritz
Carlton, where they are for the sea
son. Wrhen congress takes its recess
he will go there for a good rest.
Senator and Mrs. Norn's are al
ready established in their summer
camp in Wisconsin, where their
daughters join them from time to
time, one or two remaining with
them all the time, assisting their
mother to nurse their father back to
health. He has been in bad health
for a year.
Representative and Mrs. Reavis
will not get out to their home in
Falls City, Neb., until Christfnas, as
the recess time will be so short they
they would not be justified in making
the long journey. They expect their
two sons, C. Frank jr. and Jack, who
live in Cleveland, to spend the last
week of this month with them.
John Shanahan, secretary to Rep
resentative Jefferis of Omaha, is
planning to make his first visit to
Atlantic City when congressional
business here is suspended for a
month. He will defer, his visit home
until Christmas, like many of the
congressman and their families.
Representative and Mrs. Jefferis
and their daughter, Janet, took an
interesting motor trip to the Endless
Caverns in Virginia recently. Mr.
Jefferis' family will remain east until
Christmas.
Judge and Mrs. Robert E. Evans'
find their pretty apartment so com
fortable that they are loath tf leave
it even for the seashore. They have
not decided whether they will go up
to visit in their old home in Penn
sylvania, make a little visit at the
seashore, or just stay in their apart
ment and enjoy the quiet.
General Pershing is making a visit
in Columbia, S. C. He has as his
guest in his luxurious apartment at
2029 Connecticut avenue. General
Charles G. Dawes, director of the
budget, who is an old friend. The
Pershing apartment is in the very
handsome, new building known as
the apartment house de luxe. It is at
the corner of Wyoming avenue and
Connecticut and commands a view
of Rock Creek, Rock Creek park,
the Georgetown Heights and the
city in general if one goes to the
upper floors. It is one of the pret
tiest sections of the city, within a
few feet of the million dollar bridge
over Rock Creek, on the road to
Chevy Chase.
