Tlin prolonged Inactivity of llio fashion
ables isccm to have extended to the Country

exhibiting little intcrctt In matters out

Includes f'iw members of the set of which
bo lias so long bcun a popular leader, but

OMAHA. April 2G. To the Society Kdltor
of Tho Ilco- I am a stranger In Omaha and
only a visitor hore, nnd naturally nra ac
costed by ovoryono I tncot with the trlto
question how I llko Omaha and Omaha
people. I try to bo polite In my answers,
bocauno I do llko Omaha and Omaha people,
but there nro somo things about them that
I believe ought to be corroded, but which
will not bo unlcsB strangers llko myself oc
casionally enter a few words of protest and
criticism,
Tho chief trouble with Omaha people
from the point of view of visitors Is that
they show to bad advantage In the matter
of dress, This applies both to tho men nnd
tho women. Tnko an average assemblage
of well known peoplo In this city nnd com
pnro them with peoplo of tho samo class
nnd circumstances, not In eastern cities,
but In places llko Kansas City, Denver and
Minneapolis, and they will appear at a dis
advantage. Sometimes It Is Incongruous dress that
strikes most forcibly. Imaglno a society
lender, attired in rich garments, raising
her Bklrts on crossing the street, and un
covering a pair of shoes that would bo a
dlsgraco to a domestic; yet Just such an
examplo camo to my attention tho othor
day. I havo Been wonic.n you nil know
conspicuously placed In box parties at tho
theater with Inst fall's hut nnd clothe) de
cidedly passe. Women should not exposo
themsolvos to view In such places If they
cunnot bavo wearing apparel approprlato
to tho occasion.
So for as the men aro concerned they ore,
If anything, worse. I have been Introduced
to Omaha men who pride themselves on
being well dressed, with buttonlcss coats
and unpolished boots. Tho number of silk
hats vlslblo at JSundny morning service is
remarkably small for a city of Omaha's
site, whereas they aro the rulo rather thnn
the cxcoptlon In fashlounblo churches clso
where. Perhaps tho women nro to blnmo for not
Insisting on tho men dressing better, and
tho men to blame for not admiring well
dressed women more, becnuso where atten
tion to dress commands ndmlratlon It is
more likely to bo gonerally manifested.
These aro only a few points, somo of
which may seem impertinent, hut I hopo
they will bo accontcil In tho spirit of
friendliness in which they are offered.
Very truly yours, II. 13, n.

How do you know? You
don't know until you wear
the clothes and that is too
late. Color fades; the suit
gets "old'' in no time; but;
