Modiste Commends and Advises the Sub-Deb "They are Just little artists,” was the compliment paid hy Madame An toinette, fashion expert, to the young designers and dressmakers of Tech nical and Central High schools, in her lecture yesterday afternoon at Thompson-Beldcn store. Madam had visited the classes and admired their work on her recent trips to the Oma ha high schools. School girls and mothers filled the lecture hall and crowded about the tables In the millinery department to hear Madam Antoinette's message STYLE WITHOUT 1519 I 52 I EXTRAVAGANCE DOUGLAS ST SATURDAY— Great Sale of GIRLS' COATS A Pre-Holiday Event which affords wonderful savings Sizes 2 to 6 7 to 12 12 to 16 Hundreds of New Coats especially bought for this sale, styles of the hour.

"The lovely rising generation Is not being properly spoken of," she defended, "when they are called flappers, cake eaters and jelly beans.” Madam herself was a glittering snow queen against the sable draper ies of the stage upon which she lee tured and showed her models. She wore a shapely gown of heavy white brocaded satin, over which fell an ermine-edged mantle of white lace, reaching to the floor and caught at the throat with a strand of brilliants. Upon her head she wore a small white turban, worked with brilliants, and banded at tho base with silver ribbon. "Your face belongs to the multi tudes, but your body is your own." was one of madam's mottoes in urg ing young girls to clothe themselves more fully. Corsets and bandeaus, she urged, are necessary for decency and poise in dress. She admitted boneless girdles for young girls, but announced that stays are on the way back to the mode. "You have onl>; one face, so you might as well treat It right," she said in warning against experiments in cosmetics. "Pumpkin red and carna tion pink were never meant for the same skin." Madam scored the use of the lipstick by young girls and ad vised them to do without rouge until they are at least 17. She told the mothers that if they would teach their daughters a little housework and gardening the girls would soon have a natural color and would not be obliged to rouge. "If you must use a powder purr at least use a clean one. And don't forget to powder behind your ears,” was her advice. "We know something of what happens to our face, but we are terrjbly unprotected in the rear. "The most disgusting characteristic a woman can have is to announce herself with an odor of perfume," proceeded madame. "It is very nice to spray a little faint perfume through an atomizer on your face and hair, Btit to spill it on your hand kerchief is improper." Madame condemned the cigaret smoking girl in no measured terms and took occasion to score the users of slang. "Slang is failure's apology for It self. Slang, painted faces, corsetless figures, and cigaret smoking go to gether. Girls, cut thfem all out;1’ Models, slipping through the black curtains to the strains of a harp, displayed the wardrobe for the young girl. The thin and the plump sub deb, and the tall, queenly girl, were among the varied types who ex hibited.. Two older women offered suggestions to mother how to keep up with daughter in the quality of dress. The peasant type of dress, with Jacket and full skirt, was suggested as appropriate for school wear. Full skirts should he eight Inches from the ground for the Jeune fille, while tight skirts may be as high as 10 Inches. Both Jace and wool scarfs, and em broidered collar and cuff sets, were recommended as dress accessories. Plaids are coming back, announced madame In displaying a plaid silk model w’hich she commended for af ternoon wear. Dine on Elk. Mr. and Mrs, J. O.
