Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1918-11-13
SOCIETY

tnERHAPS the predominant
ing note in the peace
celebration was the sea of
red, white and blue. Old Glory
was more in evidence than ever be-
fore, but it remained for the feminine
celebrants to devise new and novel
ideas for wearing the patriotic col
ors. Women in the Afternoon parade
were not content with just pinning
knots of the colors on their coats,
but wore scarfs around their shoul-
ders and twined folds of the gay
bunting around their hats. A group
OF girls in suits of red, white and
blue paraded in the evening, carry
ing torches and banners.
Mr. Frank Judson, who has long
held the distinction of being one of
the best dancers in Omaha, influ-
enced by particularly alluring JAZZ
zy tune, played by passing band,
seized pretty girl who happened
to be standing near him and began
lively one-step on the sidewalk.
Canteen workers in the parade had
much trouble in forming in the pre-
scribed lines of eight, and to keep
proper marching order was impossi-
BILE. At times the pressing crowds
closed in so completely on the fair
patriots in their blue wells that they
were forced to walk single file. But
march they did. blowing popular airs
on their tin whistles and making all
the noise possible.
