"What la really the uae In great
preparations for the dinners before the
Subscription dance?" asks a well known

clock, and have no powers of observa
tion or appreciation left for any artlstlo
effecta. I've put two little ducks of
vases on either aide of my clock and am
training to the solitary flower Japanese1
scheme of delighting the eye. But I've

that!"

NO UNIFORM DRESS
FOR OMAHA WOMEN
Members of Home Economic De
partment of Woman's Club Sniff
at the Suggestion.
DRESSMAKERS ARE HAMMERED
Each member of the horns econom
ics department of the Woman's club
sniffed and then turned up her nose,
following a discussion of the stand
ardization of women's dress, at a
meeting held Thursday. This
movement is being sponsored by the
General Federation of Women's
Clubs.
"Wouldn't the streets look monot
onous if all the women were dressed
alike?" exclaimed Mrs. F. J. Burnett,
leader of the department. "It would
be a sight for God and men."
"It would be such a funny spectacle.
Think of the old and the young women,
the fat and the slim women, all affecting
the same style of dress," laughed a sec
ond. "Humph! If they want something hy
gienic and comfortable, why don't they
launch a national movement for women
to wear mother hubbards," cried a third.
"How can we show our originality or
Individuality If we are all to dress alike,"
another woman wanted to know.
Foljnmrlel on Anvil.
The Polymuiiel, a costume designed for
all occasions, which has won much no
tice lately, received no more favor from
the club women. "Of course It is most
adaptable, but it doesn't appeal to me,"
was the sentiment most expressed.
The discussion then veered around to
the criticism heaped upon women for the
styles they buy.
"Women are not to be blamed for the
clothes they buy. They have no choice.
We have to buy what we can get and
when tight skirts are in vogue, tight
skirts we must wear, because the stores
show nothing else," asserted Mrs. Bur
nett. Dressmakers Rate Roost.
Tart of the faflt was laid at the door
of dressmakers, too. "Dressmakers re
fuse to make gowns that are .conservative
or out-of-date because they say It hurti
their business. 'What will people say 1(
you tell them I made such an old-fashioned
gown for you?' " Mrs. Isaac Douglas
said was the drcsbmaker's plea. "If. you
insisted on having a full skirt when tight
ones were beins orn, tha drensmakeit
would promise you they would make a
full skirt and then would go ahead ana
fashion It Just as they chose. Women are
helpless."
One woman told of seeing a woman who
wore a skirt two Inches above ber shoe
tops, and who also wore pink stockings
to enhance the elfect.
"Oh, well, It was none of cur club
ladles, I am nuic," remarked a depart
ment member as she settled snugly back
Into her seat.
"Some men complain that they can't
support their families because of the In
roads made upon the family purse for the
wife and children's wardrobes.' They say
their children are ridiculed If they don't
drees as well as the other children who
go to school with them."
"When Nebraska grows dry. they won't
make that excuse," ventured a skeptical
one.
The home eoonomlcs department con
