The warm weather of the last week had
a decidedly prostrating effect upon aocicty
and crowded the calm that has prevailed
for the last month up to the superlative de
gree. The tennis tournament at the Field
club served aa a diversion, and the school
let broke out a time or two In something
cut of the ordinary, but aside from these,
the Cowglll-Oulou dance at the Country
dub alone saved the week from being an
admirable Illustration of the term "stupid."
It Is not pleasant to conjecture what It
would be If It were not for the visiting
girls. Practically everything that has been
flone has been In their honor, but It must
be confessed that they are not being rushed
quite as hard or aa elaborately as certain
of the visiting matrons were a fortnight or
two ago.
The fashionables seem content to adorn
the verandahs of the Field and Country
clubs evenings and Sundays, and while, of
course, there are a lot of people out of
town, unless one belongs to one of the
clubs there are precious few places he can
call evenlnga now-a-days unless he goes
merely to leave his card. The Boat club
dances over the river and the lake Itself
are proving Immensely attractive to the
younger fct, as the summer wears on, and
while the moonlight lasted not a few of
the girls exhibited a decided preference for
sailing. This week there ts nothing an
nounced and the Wednesday and Satur
day dinners and dances at the clubs are
about the only bright spots anticipated.
The achievement of Mrs. E. H. Bprague
In winning the women's championship and
a silver cup for the best medal score In the
qualifying round at the recent Transmls
alsslppl golf tournament at St. I-otils brings
credit not only upon herself, but upon the
Omaha Country club as well, and she has
been the recipient of enthusiastic con
gratulation whenever she haa appeared at
the Country club since. Mrs. Bprague
took up the game five years ago when the
Country club opened, and since then has
entered In. all the Transmlssisslppl tourna
ments where women were admitted and
has each time made an enviable record
Mrs. William T. Burns also came Into

DRESHER IS FORCED TO EXPAND
Rents Xew Workrooms and (
Famous French Fashion Cre
ator to Cot Suits.
Dresher, the most persistent advertiser
among the Omaha tailors, has found It
necessary to again enlarge his work rooms.
Having long ago exhausted all the possible
space at his establishment at 1615 Farnam
street, he has rented the entire top floor
of the Crounse block at Sixteenth street
and Capitol avenue for the use of his
tailors. The place on Farnam street will
still be used as sales, display and cutting
and fitting rooms, but garments will be
made In the new work rooms, which will
be the biggest and best equipped In the
city and connected with the store by a
private telephone line.
The Dreshera came to Omaha and went
Into business six years ago. Business has
grown so that every year they had to make
removals or have additions built. More and
better tailors and cutters have been em
ployed from time to time to cater to the
demands made upon the firm, and now a
famous Parisian cutter and Inventor of
styles. A. H. . Proud, has been employed.
He will come out here direct from New
York, where he cut clothes for the late
President McKlnley and President Roose
velt. He Invented the braided waiatcoat
and other fashions and is recognised by
such garment makers as Pearson A Wet
sell and Bell of New York and Oakley of
Chicago.
The change will be made by August 15.

One of the recent bulletins Issued by the
United States bureau of Labor tells the
following Interesting story of the work
of the club women in assisting other less
fortunate women of obscure districts to
adopt or revive the art of weaving as a
practical , means of helping themselves
financially and fostering an industry that
promises to profit something more than
the monetary reward to Its followers:
Mrs. J. Llndsey Johnson of Rome. Oa
has long been Interested in the encourage
ment of weaving among women residing in j
tne neamy mountains, some coverlets nuve
been produced and some silk rag portlers
and rag rugs have also been woven. Some
of the weuvers have been Induced to wea.o
fiublicly In the Interstate fairs held at At
anta. The products have been sold chiefly
through the art and crafts committee If
tne Ueorgla f ederation of women s Liuns.
The later efforts of this committee have
been directed largely toward the Introduc
tion of weaving and other handicrafts In
the schools of the state, especially In the
State Normal school and In the model day
schools which have been established In
mountain districts through the federation s
Initiative. Cornhusk huts, palmetto hats
and baskets are among the marketable
products of these schools sold by the committee.
Of the various rug making Industries
which have grown out of Mrs. Albee's pio
neer efforts In New Hampshire, perliips
the most important Is that established:
among the wives of fishermen on the Cran
bury Isles, opposite Northeast Harbor, Me.
rntii the rug industry was introduced tnero
these women, though Intelligent and suf
ficiently well provided with the necessities
of life, had little to occupy their time dur
ing the winter and but little ready money.
They were ambitious to raise money for
church purposes and for building a wharf.
etc., and when they heard of the success
or the AbnaKee rug industry a number or
them were desirous of undertaking similar
work. They were already familiar with the
process of hooking rugs, and they were
fortunate In having the benettt of the Ini
tiative, moral support and financial back
ing or Mrs. Betn l-ow. miss Miriam t'. Rey
nolds and one or two other New York
women whose summer homes are at North
east Harbor, as well as obtaining the aid
of capable designers. The Industry was
started on a small Bcale. In the autumn of
1901. under the supervision of -Miss Amy
Mall Hicks, a designer Identified with the
arts and crafts movement In New York
City, who . designed the patterns and- gavn
Instructions In dyeing, etc. A year later
Miss Hicks retired from the management
of the enterprise, and was succeeded' by
Miss Una A. Clark of Cambridge. Mass.,
who Is also a designer and had some ex
perience In making rugs. During the first
winter six rugs were made which were ex
hibited the following summer at Northeast
Harbor. The next winter the Industry was
developed on a somewhat larger scali,
twelve women working on the rugs as reg
ularly as their household duties allowed,
averaging about two hours a day. In till
summer comparatively little work Is don.
One woman stencils all the burlaps, while
another dyes all the flannel. The dyestuff
are obtained from Mrs. Albee. and are Iden
tical with those used In the Abnakee rugs:
but a somewhat firmer texture Is obtained
In the Cranbury Island rugs by using two
yards of flannel to the square-foot. Instead
of one and one-fourth or one and one-half,
as at Pequaket. The use of the vegetaule
dyes Is now under consideration.
The Cranbury Island rugs are distin
guished by the monogram "CR" worked In
one corner or on the selvage at the back.
Several designs have been used, with differ
ent arrangements of colors, and from tlmo
to time new patterns are prepared. Most of
the designs are original and striking, ef
fective use being made of a somewhat con
ventionalized pine tree and other natural
forms; hut the patterns of old-time samplers
have also been adapted for use In bedroom
rugs. The rugs have been sold about as
fast as they could be made. In most cases
being made to order. They are used chiefly
In summer cottages In Maine and In the
vicinity of New York. An exhibit was sent
to a New York City arts and crafts exhi
bition In the spring of 19n3. and all the rugs
sent were sold. The Industry is now firmly
established on a self-supporting basis.
The Woman's club of Plalntield. N. H.,
among other expedients for raising money
for a clubhouse. '"I'lated a rug tndu.tr.- in
the winter and sp lng of l!02. Rags ware
accumulated anil sewn together duiinR inn
winter, and were woven according to color
designs by Mrs. Frances Huston of Boston,
and Mrs. H. O. Walker of New York, pres
ident of the club. Twenty rugs were made
and at an art exhibition held In August all
of these were sold and orders taken for
forty more. A separate organization was
now formed with the name "Mothers' and
Daughters' Industry." with Mrs. O. S. Rug
gles aa manager, and a trademark was
adopted consisting of a distaff and the let
ters "M D I" In the corner. Instead of
using old cloth for rags, white outing flan
nel is now bought and dved the desired
color. Many of the rugs have whtte cen
ters with dashes of color, and borders at
each end In stripes and mottled effects. Or
ders are taken by city members of the club
who have taken rugs home with them, and
exhibits have been sent to various arts and
crafts exhibitions. The number of rugs
made In a year now runs Into hundreds and
the number of yards of material used Into
thousands. Six looms are in operation, and
altogether there are more than twenty-five
workers, the weaving of curtains, bed
spreads, etc., having been added to tho industry.
