Some of the Best Dressed Women Seen on Omaha Streets
F THE women of Omaha have a distinguishing feature in
matters of dress, it is to their extreme modesty in dressing
' for the street. So verv reluctant are they to wear their
ji ' better gowns out in public places that with people whose
estimate .IS lomieu Oim Jioiu neeiup; lumi iu vuo-
tume, they do not' bear the reputation as good dressers that they
deserve. As a matter of fact, the Omaha 'women have the clothes
suits that cost handsome sums and that suffer nothing by com
parison with those that come from the east or even from over
the water. Many of them are imported, but by far the greater
majority are made by the fashionable modistes and tailors right
here in town, and furthermore these same modistes and tailors are
in demand by the well dressed women of many other cities, east
and west.
While many of these costumes might properly be 6tyled
street suits, it is only at the theater, an afternoon reception, or
other semi-public functions, that the general public is privileged
to see them. Occasionally they are worn out on the street, but
only occasionally. A few gems of a few choice wardrobes, as
seen .by glimpses here and there, make an interesting catalogue.
Mrs. Theodore J. Wint is one of the best tailored women in
Omaha and one of her handsomest costumes is a short coat tailor
suit of blue cloth. With this she wears a suit hat and ermine furs.
Mrs. Frank S. Cowgill has a smartly tailored gray suit, made
with the long coat, with which she wears chinchilla.
Mrs. II. Hugo Brandeis is another of Omaha's noticeably well
dressed women, and this season is wearing at least three stunning
suits. Among them is a blue velvet, with short coat, and another
blue cloth 6uit, with wrhich she wears chinchilla or sable.
A paddock of tan cloth, displayed by Miss Ada Kirkendall,
is one of the best tailored garments in Omaha.

braid, and the coat is long.

drove was one of the handsomest coat suits- seen at the horse
show.
