Although It Is the Inst nf August the
ihlrt waist man runnnt Ronorally lc said
to have romo to town. Ho has appeared nt
the Country club a few times, of course,
where ho has heen duly admired and dis
cussed, but then ono expects to see odd
and faddy things out there and It Is n
genuine disappointment to everybody to
find him so conspicuously absent from the
strect.3. In nearly every city he has been
prominently In evidence for more than n
month and even In his most Rorgeous
watermelon pink waist no longer culls
forth anything b"Ut admiration. A personal
letter from New York says the whole city
Is In shirt walstH. men and women, too,
and describes the continous procession
of gaily colored walsted humanity as
"picturesque In the extreme."
During the last week the concessions for
the musical festival have monopolized al
most tho entire time and attention of
Omaha's fashionable women. Hcgardless
of tho extreme heat tho members of tho
different committees have solicited among
the business men from tho time their of
fires opened In the morning until fi p. m
nnd the results nro most encouraging.
They have shown genuine business ability
and many predict that the presence of
Hi"se charming women In tho booths will
be a greater attraction than the mtisle.
Rarh day of the week tho booths will bo
In charge of different sets of women, who
propose to mako the musical festival as
brilliant socially as It will be musically.
All Interested In the concessions for the
musical festival aro requested to be pres
ent nt the last genernl mooting of the
Visiting Nurses' association to bo held at
4 o'clock Thursday nfternoon In the Ar
lington block. Members of committees nro
especially urged to bo present.
The Idea of living out of doors nnd
really enjoying the summer seems to havo
taken possession of American resorters
this year. The summer girl of 1300 Is not
the creature of Indescribable gowns that
formerly floated through Iho cotillion nt
the springs or seashore nnd whose chief
nvrrtinn was the planning nf some mar
velous creation In millinery that would
min fee her the envy of all her sex nnu
the reputation of being tho best dressed
woman at the fashionable garden parties,
where, by tho way. tho trees and shrubbery
m nnro made an effective background nnd
a protection from the sun and Its damaging
effects upon tho complexion. She has out
grown tho limits of the hotel piazza, where
she was formerly content to cnai aim miun
the sen breeze to toss her hair into cliarm
ino rnnfuHlon and. putting awey her be
frilled gowns with parasol nnd gloves to
maleh. she has donned a shirt waist, golf
skirl and ntont boots with a charming Ut
ile sunbonnet or a plnuo hat with n prac
tical brim that turns Jauntily down to pro
tect her eyes, nnd stepped forth an eman
cipated woman.

VAN CAMP GETS ANOTHER JOB
otlfled I.nst Mulit nf II In Appoint
ment nn Asslstiuit .Snricrnn In
the Arm)'.
Dr. Lee Van Camp, who was yesterday
elected county physician by tho Hoard of
County Commissioners, received n telegram
Inst night from Surgeon (lenernl Stern
berg of the United Stntes nrmy notifying
him of his appointment as assistant sur
geon In the army. Dr. Van Cnmp wns fur
ther ordered to report nt San Frnnclsco
for duty In tho Orient. Naturally Dr. Van
Camp Is pleased nt this recognition of his
nbtllty, us out of a class of 150 physlclnns
who stood the exumlnntlon nt Wnshlngton
recently he was one of six who passed nnd
have been named for appointment.
It Is understood that Dr. VanCamp will
not accept the position offered him by the
government, for tho renson that he does
not want to go back on his friends who
stood by him In his light for the office of
county physician.
In speaking nf Dr. Van Camp, Commla.
sloner Hoetor said that In his opinion the
young physician deserves the place to
which he wns elected yesterdny, as he has
proven himself faithful In every respect
while ho served as Interne nt the county
hospital. Friends of Dr. Van Cnmp con
gratulnted 111 ni last night on his appoint
ment hb county physician nnd nlso on the
tender of a position In tho nrmy by tho
government.
A tt ii n lli-lil nml Her llrnnty Until,
Among the many Interesting stories told
of charming Anna Held perhaps none
caused so much comment ns tho ono
wherein her bewitching beauty wns at
tributed to the milk hath which she was
supposed to take each morning. The nc
tress never denied tho story beenuso she
fully realized tho value of attractive ad
vertising, but the famous milk bath was
doubtless a bit of imagination, pure nnd
simple. Annn Held know that proper
bathing preserved and enhanced her beauty
because It preserved her health nnd In
that particular she was wiser than many
of her sisters who nre equally as fnlr.
There are in Omaha today many women
who might be ns beautiful as Anna Held
if they had half the wisdom of the Illtlo
French nctress, but they seem to be care
less or Indifferent nnd apparently do not
realize that beauty, health and vivacity aro
synonomous terms. How often wo hear
expressed a regret that somo friend Is
losing her beauty, that she Is "old before
her time." These things should not bo;
they oro without excuse and without rea
son. The Now Renstrom Hygleno Hath
company offers a remedy, nnd through its
Ladies' Ilnthery, second lloor, nee build
ing, n means to upply that remedy. Thoso
who ennnot secure mnssage nnd electro
magnetic trentment nt homo will do well
to visit tho bathory. The effect of ono
trentment will convlnco the most skepti
cal. It Is llko a renownl of youth and Is
a sure specific for all forms of rheuma
tism nnd nervous trouble. Skilled women,
who hnvo been thoroughly trnlned, ndmin
iKter tho massago treatment and a lady's
maid Is always In nttendnnco. It Is never
too lute to begin right. For ladles only.
