Ticket Sale for
Press Lecture

Tickets for the lecture and play
readings which Mrs. Ellia W. Peattie,
novelist, critic and dramatist, will
give at the Fontenelle at 4 p.m.
Thursday, February 16 can be obtained
from Miss Kate Swartzlander
at the Burgess-Nash book store,
from the Matthews book shop or the
Women's Exchange, upstairs at
1517 Douglas street. There is a bit
of sentiment connected with placing
tickets for sale in the Woman's Exchange.
The Exchange was recently
taken over by the Woman's club of
which Mrs. Peattie was a former
president and is now an honorary
member. Mrs. Charles E. Johannes,
president, states that she and her
directors are most anxious to assist
success and she asked that some of
the tickets be placed on sale with
them.

Local newspaper women who are
promoting this lecture also have
tickets for sale.

Mrs. Peattie was for several years
a newspaper woman in Omaha and
later she and her husband, Robert
B. Peattie, went to Chicago and
both engaged in newspaper work.
Of recent years she has done considerable
dramatic work and has
been highly praised for her efforts.
She will read two original plays hero
and will give a talk preceding her
readings.
