married one might naturally have
supposed that bachelor friend would
get the inside track.
Gabbv hates' to accuse any one of
being dog-in-thc-mangeriah, but no
other adjective seem to apply. For
now that Mr, Penedict has the wife
of his heart and a cunning bungalow,
he has also, acquired a new secre
tary at the omce. Yes, you are
right, Alcibiades, none other! And
the .bachelor is still a bachelor. It
doesn't seem quite fair, boys and
girls, doei it?
THE touch of the hand as his
fingers closed upon it made the
warm blood of romance and am

His heart pulsed rapturously and
the faces of the people became nebu

fore fis eyes like things of another
sphere come to jeer and mock his
happiness.
For he was happy gloriously
happy! The hand which his fingers
caressed had made him happy. Ife
could have kissed the hand smoth
ered it with passionate caresses, but
a timely prudence restrained him.
For when you have picked up ace,

Omaha women have consented to poso to prove that longer ekirts are as charming in tieir way as the lamented Bhorter
models. '
Miss Catherine Gavin, who has bo recently returned from Paris, is quite used to frocks that are only seve'n or eight
Inches from the floor; in fact, there isn't a single short dress in her wardrobe, and hasn't been for almost a year.
Mrs. Lester Klopp, one of our youngest matrons, is noted for her forehandedness in the matter of fashions, and
her frock of white crepe almost touches the straps on her slippers.
With her draped gown of black moire Mrs. Robert D. Neelcy is wearing a Chantilly cape with a history, for the
lace of which it is composed was sent from Europe years ago, to her grandmother, Mrs. George L. Dennis, and for a modern
touch has been collared with moire and monkey fur.
Mrs. Harvey Milliken has obeyed the mandates of the mode and is seen, in a wonderfully graceful dinner gown
of flame chiffon, elaborately beaded and falling to the ankles.
One of the first to appear at the Country club in an informal dress made on longer lines was Mrs. Ralph Peters.
This one of bright rose and white foulard has been greatly admired. i
Mrs. D. C. Bradford's soft afternoon dress of figured crepe is one of the more conservative in the new dresses, but
is an attractive exponent of the longer skirt.

It ii not all of us who can do our
Christmas (hopping from the Golden
Horn to Hond Street, or any other
shopping for that imrltcr, but Mils
Henrietta Kees, who returned last
week from leven njonthi abroad, lias
had that opportunity, and hai profit
ed by it.
Her trunks and suitcases were run
ning over with souvenirs odd treas
ure! picked up here and -there and
tucked in beside the hats that bear
the coveted Rue De Lafayette label,
and the frocks that belong on the

Misi Reel sailed in January with
her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Rees of Springfield, III., and
made the Mediterranean trip with
them. In April she joined Mrs. Mil
ton B. Ochs of New York and Miss
Mildred Ochs in l'aris, and made it
herh eadquarteri until July, taking
side trips to the battlefields and the
chateaux.
'Texpected to come home in April,
so I lent all my liht clothes home.
Then when I decided to stay till
August I had to restock," said. Miss
Rees. "I didn't get elaborate things,
but it wa great fun shopping evevy
where, and as we were in Paris at the
time of the spriirg openings, we went
to all the style shows and were able
to spot the various modes of each
house when we saw them being worn
afterward on the boulevards.
Miss Rees' gowns and hats are the
envy of all those who have been for
tunate enough to get a glimpse of
them. While simple in style and fab
ric, they have the "line" that belongs
to a garment which has. the distinc
tion of having a name all its own, as
these French dresses do.
, One blue linen afternoon dress is
a Premet model, deeply hemstitched
and with embroidered medallions act
in the skjjt, An evening frock, of
which Miss Rees is especially fond,
is a wistaria crepe, draped at the low
waist line, and caught at each side
with a bunch of sparkling brilliants.
"According to French modes," said
the owner, "I ought to wear pongee
tucking an. flume colored slipper
with this, Congee stockings are all
the rage, and French women are sel

Omaha Party
France
Installments
By MYRTLE
The story is told of a party who
"saw" Europe in six weeks that at
one point they were confused ai to
their whereabouts. -
"Let'a ice, let'i lee," they laid,
leiring itinerariei. "The 18th' (eye!
casting over the ichedule). "The
18th Rome Yci this must be
Rome."
The Rosi party is not quite to hur
ried, but we do have to consult our
itinerariei for reassurance, for when
one sees a palace like Versailles.an art
gallery like the Louy, a sea like
the Mediterranean arid a cathedral
like Chartres, and very much more in
less than 10 July days he needs
something like cold black print to
make him aure there are such things
as definite geographical locations,
and particularly that he occupies one
of them.
We are' at Nice today, and Taris
is both north and behind us.
What was most interesting in
Paris?
I remember once asking the late
Solon Borglutn something about
what the public liked.
appeared in ermine. Rut the sure
sign that -we were nearing Paris was
that every woman in the party re
tired and lengthened her skirts. You
could spot an American in Paris a
block off, by the prevailing short
ness of her hem."
The difference of styles between
our country and France Miss Reel
said she heard widely discussed.
"A French woman said to a friend
of mine, an American, that when we
came over there we thought the
French women were sloppy. On the
other hand the French women look
at the tightly laced type of American
woman, inclined to be portly and try
ing to reduce, and say 'how stiff.
Their idea of beauty is different from
ours."
Mis Rees made quite a hobby of
shawl collecting. From Assiout she
brought two of the famou silver
shawls, one rombirird with blue and
o.ie with black. Her Italian ihawl i
of fringed Silk, and i a brilliant red.
In Havaria the purchased two of
light weight woolen fabric, one green
with crimson row, ind one of
rr.ary yellow bordered with blue.

"The public," lie questioned in his
gentle way. "I don't know what
you mean. There are 10 many
publici."
The truth of his reply pressed
home to me in Paris, for if ever a
city had, "10 many publici," it is that
one. . .
I'anV Is many things and not ab
solutely one. A place for a good
time? Yes, but the earnest student
and the weary laborer are there. A
place of fashion? Indeed. But
thousands may be icen on any day
who would never be featured in a
style magazine. A city of atheists?
So they nay. But at no hour can
you enter a cathedral and not find
devout worshippers there.
Now the venturesome tourist tries
to be a part of each of the publics.
He visits the galleries and public
buildings, attends' some of the thea
ters, dines at a fashionable cafe or
two, and if of the feminine gender
visits a well-known modiste in quest
of gowns and never fails to purchase
perfume and monogrammcd hand
kerchiefs. The Paris cHapter of our travels,
like all of Gaul, was divided into
three parts, viz., sightseeing in Paris,
a motor trip to the battlefields in
the Rheims district and a three-day
tour of the Chateau country south
and west of Parii in the valley of
the Loire.
Parii is conceded to be a beauti

ful city. No buildings may be over
six stories in height "six storici and
a mansard roof," they taid. The Seine
river and the Hois de Boulogne add
their natural beauty to the grandeur
of the public buildings.
Many of our party visited the shop
of M aflame Dresser, sinter of Mr.
L. J. llealey, and aunt of Mini Al
maiine Campbell of Omaha, and
found enticing gowm for the ap
proaching leasons.
"This winter will be a brown one,"
said Mme. Dresser.
The favorite accessory for the
fashionable Parisian woman is her
head dresi, not her earring!.
Wreaths especially of gold or silver
Icavei are much worn around the
head. Some women were seen at,
smart cafci with fasliion'i latest
footgear, ankle length gowns, but
no stockings, Smoking was com
monly seen, but not as generally
flaunted by women in Paris as we
had expected, Ve did see one
woman in a box at the theater
smoking a cigar.
As for the theaters, "Ta Bouche"
and "Fifi" arc well done musical
comedies and it is probable we shall
have songs from the former in our
country before long. "Follies Ber
Rcre" is, as it has been described, a
"gaping trap for American tourists,"
At home we would rate it as a third
class burlesque show. La Comcdie
Francaise always presents good
drama, and the opera is the opera.
Our party attended Monday night,
the evening favored by the French
people themselves, and saw a grace
ful, colorful ballet for the entire per
formance. A visit to a "champagne factory"
was one of the events of our motor
trip north of Taris. . It was to the
winery of Pommcry & Greno we

OrientaTNote in
Veils Worn by
Omaha Women '
With the hottest part of the sum
mer past, society folk are turning
an eye toward those bits of the
wardrobe that might be called"spare
parts." They can be spared in hot
weather, but are almost an essential
at the first hint of autumn.
An important accessory to the
perfect costume, be it for street
wear, for motoring, for a sea voyage
or for a comfortable chair at a coun
try club, seems to be the veil,
There are many styles in this
adornment, one of the oldest known
to the feminine sex, and yet possess
ing recurrent charm for the wearer
and the beholder. Favorite modes
are long, and are worn around the
hat, caught at the bark of the crown
and allowed to fall down the back
or are wrapped around a fair throat,
if the owner fears lunburn. Miss
Irene Cole took one with her on her
European trip this summer, a heavy,
double-mesh, silk veil in gray to
wear on the steamer with a t.mpe
hat. Her mother, Mrs. David Cole,
is alro wearing one this summer.
They are an importation from Lon
don, and have made their way into
the hearts of English women from
India, home of the most Uisinating
veil in the world.
Mr, Jav Fotter I often seen In
one, and Mr. Frank Coad and Mr.
F. L. Fenton also succumbed to
their silken lovebner.

After Trip
Traveling in a party of 600 ) a
uovel experience, but one that a
heartily enjoyed by the .k Omaha
young women who luve jut rctm ti
ed from a trip to the l'arilic co4t
with a pariy of drlrgfatra to the
American Iiutitute of lUnking ron
vention held in l'ortlaml, July 17 X
The Omaha girU on the party weit
the Mimfi I'lurcme Moore, Mary
and Annie Doyle, Fimua MiKae,
Martha Sicrt and Jennie V. Smith.

prevuiiitly and amid muili liatuJ
clapping from the rent of the mk a

Kilia were prcaentrd.
The Omaha group I' ft July 8 and
were joined by dclrgsiti from mo-t
of the middle wclrn ciliv. cnoiigli,
in fact to fill four fti.il tram.
Min McKae describe their exper
ience! at Glacier National park.
where a two-day stop was made:
"Blackfeet Indians, doing tribal
dances on the hotel veranda, gave us
a taste of the old west and we did
our best to feel transported back
to the dayi of the tomahawk and buf
falo, but with Indian chiefs smoking
Turkish cigarets and Indian flappcri
with nobbed hair, it was a little diffi
cult to keep up the wild west il-t
lusion. However, the costumes were
gorgeous white buckskin, ermine
tails, feathers, war paint and fantas
tic decoration and it was. a tight
not to be missed or forgotten. Prom
inent among the dancers was Chief
Two Guns, whose fare is said to
adorn the buffalo nickel."
The party drove SO miles to the
Many Glacier House, and horseback
riding and picnicking filled the rest
of their time. "A brief stop in Spo
kane," Miss McRae'continued, "en
abled us to see the fox farms of the
United States Silver Fox corpora
tion, an industry established a year
ago and producing a profit of 36 per
cent the first year on an investment
of $175,000. The "dogs" are raised
here and sold for breeding purposes,
and bring $1,000 to $1,200 a pair. The
silver fox pelt commands a price of
from $250 for culls to $2,500 for the
perfect pelt and the ladies of our
party gave up all idea of buying a
silver fox icarf for $49.98 it the Au.
gust sales.
The trip seemed to disprove the
theory that it is hard to move large
bodies, according to Mist Moore.
"It wa all perfectly arranged, and
went off without a hitch." All were
enthusiastic in their puis of W. II,
Dressier of Omaha, chairman of
transportation.
At Seattle the entire party made a
trip t.j Ml. Kainier, and in Portland
the frttivitio included a dance at
