'v v By ( nlirrul Service. Paris, April 29.—-I.ondon's claim to the title of new style center is met with absolute disdain by the dress making world- of Paris. The claim f the British metropolis, which was based on the fact that the duchess of lark's trousseau and the other wonderful dresses worn at the British royal wedding, were made and desig ned in liondon along lines entirely dif f< rent from those prevailing in Paris, is ridiculed by style creators hero. "The best dressed woman in the world is the American women, who wears -Paris styles. The worst dres sed women in the world are the Ger mans, with the English a dose sec ond.” - Thus declared .lean Gabriel Dome - gue. famous society painter, whose portraits with exclusive dress designs fetch fabulous sums. He continued: "American women are the most graceful because they incorporate the grace of their ancestors who were wild men a bare two centuries ago. Germans Too Dumpy. "The - Germans are too dumpy and do not care about their shares, while the English women are too raw boned and mannish. ‘ The most expensive gown on the average English woman resembles a sack. The French women would be the best dressers, but on the average they are too small and they use too much make-up. “The titled English women are of such peculiar architecture that they must haye specially designed gowns, hence those worn at the duko of York's wedding, but London’s finest designs make the American woman gawkish and dowdy.” George Aubert. head of the Lenieff, the Agnes and other houses, also scoffed, saying: "I hare heard It hinted that tile British royal family take a great interest in the welfare of the targe English dressmakers.’ Dressmakers Disappointed. Nevertheless there is no concealing the fact that the dressmakers here are disappointed at the royal ban. The Paris houses are losing consid ers. ble business from the English nobility ss a result of Queen Mary's sudden and violent dislike of French sty tes. At the occasion of tile last levee the court chamberlain passed the word around that ladies attending must-be "gowned in accordance with the prev alent royal etiquette, "a plain hint that the stylish Paris models would be frowned upon.” A considerable portion of the nobil ity is declared to be straining at the leash In resentment at the attempt to imitate Queen Victoria in laying dow n rules for society dress. These are buying in Paris as before, merely re serving a few English gowns for state occasions. Senator Nelson Dies Suddenly on Board Train Minnesota Man. Oldest Mem ber of Senate.

Democratic Move to Hurry Blanket Bill Is Held Ruse Republicans Stubborn in Re fusal to Act on Measure Before Matliers-D>-art Reform Proposal. By P. C. rmVKI.I.. Staff I orrf»ppndfnt The Omaha Bee. Lincoln. April 29.—With confer ence committees on the blanket ap propriation bill and the Mathers-Dv sart bill near an agreement tonight democrats were endeavoring with all power at their command to persuade republicans to put the appropriation bill through before any action is taken on the Mathers Dysart govern mental reform bill Republicans steadfastly refused to promise such action. Theii attitude is the same today as tt was on a hot day last summer here in Lincoln when the party went on record to ad just duplications and extravagances in government. The new democratic overture is looked upon as a last desperate ruse of the governor's friends to put re sponsibility for failure to modify the present governmental forir on the republican parti'. The plan which republicans feel democrats have in mind is to promise that the governor will not veto the appropriation bill if it If* panned first, then leave for home and force an adjournment from lack of a quorum before the Mathers l): sr.rt bill can pass. The Mathers Dysart bill will not be put out on th** floor of the house until every member is in l^is seat, whether it be tomorrow Tuesday or Wednesday, according to plans of party leaders tonight ThD. it is assured, will be one bill on which everyone* must go on rec ord. The governor's action on the Mathers Dvsart bill was a constant subject of discussion tonight. Kor weeks the word wa* broadcast from his office that any bill presented to him other than his executive council code bill would be vetoed. There were vtogue unconfirmed rumors to day that he might sign it. The consensus of opinion was that lie is determined to keep the present code, despite his < ampaign charges of extravagance and waste against it and would waste little time in ve toing the Mathers Dysart bill, which is in line with his campaign augees t ons of governmental reform before he discovered a majority <*f consti tutional officers elected are repub licans. tIfficer in \rmy tChemical Service Is Found Dead ll.r Aemrialrd Pr«M.
