TIIK OMAHA DAILY nEK: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1902. SOCIETY DRESSES SMARTLY Omaha Women Fay More Attention to Their Party Gowns. RADICAL DEPARTURE FROM TRADITIONS ICa Mri Are Inclined .le More Heed to llrqilrfmrnla f'oa vealloaal Oood Form la Urea. That there la marked tenuVm y on the inrt of Omaha aoclety of late toward doing things on a really elaborate scale, la a matter of , comment. By some thin has been attrib uted to the eraaoa for Indoor affairs, that tn contrast with tho Informality of sum mer gatherings makes Ih.lr conventionality ! tho more noticeable. This may be true, I but only to an extent, for even the most iloyal have to admit that them have been occasion, whole series of them, andeven whole seasons, when, with few exceptions, society had done little out of tho ordi nary, and the very ordinary nt that. It has long been a matter of comment that Omaha society Is subdued In matters of dresa, even to the extent of being con spicuous at times. It has happened re peatedly that visiting women havo re turned to their trunks unused halt the Kwna they have brought, not because there has been no occasion for wearing them, but because to have done so would have made them conspicuous by contrast. It Is not that the gowns of Omaha women are lacking In richness of material, but rather a reluctance on the women's part to adopt the more elaborate costumes, ex cept on extra occasions. They are dressy. Even at the largo afternoon affairs, and frequently at evening gatherings, the cloth, gown la commonly worn by women ordi narily looked to to at least maintain, If not set, tho standards In matters of this kind. This same sobriety is noticeable of theater audiences, but while the women are to be commended for their delicacy In dressing for public gatherings, It has fre quently occurred that street gowns and even shirtwaists have been worn on occa sions that have In other cities called out full dresa audiences. Nor la this confined to the women alone. It was recently said by the representative of an eastern men's furnishing establish ment that there la little demand here for the best of his line, but that Omaba has good tailors who meet the demand. Of the recent gatherings, however, there has only been cause for admiration. Never before have there been so many Imported gowns In evidence and the women are wearing them, too. An Innovation to the afternoon gathering la the wearing through out the period of the most gorgeous hats, At one of the large card parties given re cently quite half of the women wore their hats all afternoon. Smart as It seems, there are those who Insist that it Is only a fad that will be too short-lived to war rant Adoption by those liable to headache or the disinclined. Social Chlt-Chat.

HARRIMAN WRITES TO M'NEIL Gives Ausraace that I'nloa Faclflo Will Get No More Sath ers EngtBea. E. H. Harrlman has assured John Mc Neil, president of the International Broth erhood of Boiler Makers and Iron Ship Builders, that do more Southern Pacific lo comotives will be sent lo the Union Pa cific while the strike lasts on the latter toad. This Is the context of a letter re ceived by Mr. McNeil from Mr, Harrlman In answer to one sent by the boiler makers' president advising the head of the Southern and Union Pacific roads that If the former persisted in reinforcing the Union Pacific's motive power under existing conditions Mc Neil would call out every Southern Paclflo boiler maker on a strike. A copy of the Harrlman letter has been forwarded by President "McNeil at Kansas City to the boiler makers here. The terms of this letter confirm the local strikers' view that Harrlman Is not favorable to a prolongation of the lockout. Eight new locomotivea have been re ceived by the Union Pacific from the Bald win Locomotive Works, and President Mc Neil found to his satisfaction that these were made for the Southern Pacific, but had been sent to help 'he Union Pacific out of Its present dilemma. The protest whs then made to Harrlman. In his letter Harrlman says he was not aware that Southern Pa cific engines had been sent to the Union Paclflo and that If such were the case it must stop, for, in the first place, the busi ness of the Southern Pacific would not per mit It. He advised President McNeil that his letter bad been turned over to the road superintendents with his Instructions. The strikers feel that they have gained a great concession In this, as the motive power Is the vital point. J. W. Kline, the blacksmiths' executive committeeman, has returned to Omaba after several weeks' absence. He brings with him a substantial sum of money to ap ply on the blacksmiths' benefit fund. His collections will greatly strengthen tbe financial condition of tbese strikers. Fifteen new recruits were imported bv the Union Paclflo from Detroit yesterday. One of the crowd Is James Duffy, who left the shops upon arrival. "I am a shoemaker by trade," said Duffy, "and wanted to get west. It was no uso for me to go Into the shops, for I know nothing of machinery. I hired as a boiler maker." . W. H. Esterline, chief guard at the shops, who boasted Friday- that he was through with th Union Pacific, announces now that be will stay to the last. Thlny Year la lad it.. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15.
