Peattie, distin guished novelist and literary critic, in a lecture ajid reading of her own plays at the Kontenelle hotel at 4 p. in. Friday, February 16. While Mrs. Peattie is a national fig ure in the literary life of this coun try, she is particularly well known in Omaha. She lived here for many years and engaged in active news paper work and also took a leading part in club activities. She was presi dent of the Omaha Woman's club In 1896 and is an honorary member of this club and of the Woman's Press club. Interested In ail women's activities, yet it is as newspaper woman, critic and short story writer that she has become a national figure. During the greater part of iheir lives she anil her husband, Itobert Peattie, have been associated together on newspa per staffs. They are perhaps the best known newspaper “couple" in Amer ica. Only in the laet two years has Mrs. Poattle attained recognition in the dra matic field. Her new activity cams about in a moat unusual manner. She end her husband moved to North Car olina to make their home. After be ing there a while Mrs. Peattle found herself Intensely Interested in ths story of long-existing feuds. She ccdCT eluded that here was dramatic mate rial, so she set about writing dramas about these feuds, inviting the na tives to enact them. Inslant success attended her efforts. Not only did the natives find an out let for their pent-up feelings In thess dramatic offerings, but the outslds world heard of this venture and Mrs. I'eattie was besieged with demarids to leave her home and give these plays to the public. She has presented them in Chicago and other cities. x Iler visit to Omaha will mark ths western boundary of her touring to date.

Miss Cowell had them made when she was touring the world. When commented upon she informs those inquiring that her sturdy grey suede oxfbrds, so smartly cut, and with flapping brogue tongues, were made in China from an English model, for "Cobblers over there are wonderful at copying, are painstaking, and most unfailingly accurate." she says. Miss Cowell, during her travels In the orient, also had a number of eve ning slippers fashioned. They were made after a French mode, sandal slippers, with many in tricate straps and tiny buckles, filch brocades, bought in Burma, India, went into their making.
