The woman who would b sure of correct
and becoming millinery will do well to
make her selection right here In Omaha
and to be guided by the advice of her own
milliner. Aa a matter of fact, and no one
knows this better than the women engaged
In this business, It Is not even the average
woman who Is competent to select her own
millinery, and In this da of profusion, of
eccentric styles and extravagant creations
and prices, no more trustworthy guide
can be had than the Judgment of one of
these first class professionals. They study
the woman as well as the hat, and If ac
customed to serving htr, are the best
Judges of what she should wear, not alone
from the standpoint of what Is becoming,
but also how It will combine with her
general wardrobe and Its suitability for
her social position and Its attendant de
mands. Every one of these points enters
Vitally Into the selection of a hat, and It IS
a dingerous conceit that tempts a woman
who would be correctly dressed to rely
entirely upon her own Judgment.
The millinery shops prrsent a bewlMerlng

The early h.it ,x Inclined to be smnll and
cloxo In It adornments. The little button
ropo, berries tind snuller thliys that tuck
l:i well are mveh uwiil In tiie bisit models.
The sailer shapes are much in evidence
for stru t, ImslncHj and run-a! jt wear.

woman and much nunc plc:ilii&'- A variety
cf crowns arc ai-.nwn In the sailors; t'.a
lurgo round, flat crown, the iloni" crown
and the hltfli round crowns that sugwest a
section of I.irge stovepipe. This Is ex
treme, of course, and should be carefully
considered." The dress hats are lare;"r and
In a great variety of shapes. Tuscans,
burner leghorns. Mllans, French chips.
Neapolitans nnd horsehair braids are made
up nnd bent into all sorts of shapes to
suit tho wearer. Anything In ostrich
feathers Is good. These are combined with
flowers In some of the most expensive nnd
desirable models.
The flowers, especially the roses, tint
will be worn during the eummer differ
materially from the varieties that have
been wrrn. The big garden rose and the
American beauty are the favorites and
these are put on very much as though
Milady had gathered them and pinned them
on herself; The effects are charmingly
careless and artistic, but the woman who
wears them will do well to make sure that
carelessness is confined to the effect alone,
for unless carefully selected, such a hat
la one of the most Impossible creations a
women can put on her head.
About tha Colors.
The Italian leghorns In the burned
hades and rougher than have been seen
for years, art especially good, and the
straw and wood colors In other materials
are much In svidence. As to colors, the
tea rose, which the unlnimated might call
the old rose, la one of the best, but aa llila
la a season "to match," other shades and
colors are Jubi as good. For the midsum
mer bat, the all white, all black or the
black and white combinations will be very
food.
All considered, the smartest thing that a
woman can wear this year, as every year,
Is the hat that Is moet becoming to her
general styli whether that be one of the
newest extremes, or Just - some modest
shape. The colors and materials Insure the
other things most desirable.
, ) Novelties In Veils.
The more exclusive millinery shops are
showing some exquisite novelties In dust
and automoplle veils. These come in two
tones, the part' covering the face Is of
grenadine and In a lighter tone. This
reaches to the back of the hat and at the
crossing Joins the long ends of princess
chiffon In the darker tone. These tie under
the chin and come in the three-yard
lengths, The auto scarf In liberty silk,
figured or even hand painted with shadowy
"'flowers. Is one of the most beautiful nov.
elites. This ties over tho hat and under
. the chin.
Another of the more exclusive novelties
Is the ostrich collar to be worn with low
& necked gowns. It Is a wide flat collar
$ and extends half way to the waist In front.
'X It has the effect of a huge ostrich feather
J curled about the shoulders and comes In
? white, black and colors.
?
v! For the Little Girls.
f
z Borne charming lingerie hats are already
ST in for little girl. The little close fitting
hand made bonnet la the correct thing for
& the tiny ones, but from 2 years up the lit
Tjtle white bat Is counted especially good.
For the younger children the embroidered
Swisses and softer materials are used,
but for the older ones linens, duck and
'plque are best The brims of these are
(buttonholed or edged with narrow rufflas
of embroidery. The tops are of the heavy
or softer materials, tarn In shape end
sewed or buttoned on an tied about with
A broad silk ribbons in color or white. In a
large bow a little to the left of the front.
QThe embroidered end, "swlss ties are also
used and some of the more elaborate hats
J have a wreath of small roses or other flow.

CDD'SKIRTS FOR THE SEASON
Extra (iarment Combines Comfort,
('nnienlrnrr and Beauty with
Kxtreme Itlllt).
Tho odd skirt for the season la this acme
of comfort, convenience and beauty. In
material. It Is preferably of panama or
wool taffeta, which is like the pamiina only
finer. Practically eerythlng Is circular or
gored in circular effect, plain over the hips
and pleated flat, front and back. Two or
three folds or deep tucks or stitched bands
at the foot are the principal trimming.
With all these the girdle, from three to
five Inches In height, Is shown, or If not
with the girdle, tho Bklrt runs up princess,
ending In girdle effect three or four Inches
or even higher, above the waist. The prin
cess skirt Is necessarily gored. Gray la the
prevailing color and is shown In plaids,
large and small, some being most pro
nounced. Checks are also good, and so are
the small Invisible plaids. These skirts are
from one and a half to three Inches off th
floor for street wear and for outing, golf
apd like use are, Uich shorten, The etolf
skirt of a season or so ago is not being
shown, and these little lightweight, unllned
models are an acceptable substitute.
The odd skirt for use with the lingerie
waist comes in whke and the champagnu
shades and the light shades and Is modeled
much aa the walking skirts are, only trim
med a little more elaborately, ' Some of
them have the. silk drops and they are
hung to Just clear the floor. White mo
hair, voile, serges and panama cloth are
the preferred fabrics. ' These sell from 110
to 130.
for wear over colors, black spangfed net 1 1
used. The linen boleros are elaboratel
trimmed with applique, and Inct medal
lions of embroidered n1 or baby Irish. One
model was entirely of net with trimmings
of successive fine pleatlngs of the net edged
with German val. An applique braid decor
ated the body and the sleeves were a suc
cession of graduated pleatlngs of lace
edged net. These intricate accessories to
the summer wardrobe will cost from S3
to $25.
CORSETS SHOW SOME CHANGE
Women Mar How Be Aeearately and
Comfortably Fitted at tha
Omaha Stores.
It Is entirely unnecessary for any woman
to send or go away for her corset. The
most exclusive and expensive models, as
well as a large line of mediums In alt the
best makes are carried In the Omaha shops
and the better stores have professionals to
do the selecting and fitting, which, by the
way, costs nothing extra. The 19CK model
Is distinctly higher In the bust and gives the
long, slender effect over the hips. The
straight front Is stilt correct and the
tendency is toward more length below the
waist In the back. There are models that
give a much modified effect for the stout
figure, and that round out the too slender
figure. All have the side or front g&rters
or both, attached. The fancy models come
In thin novelty silks, chiefly in white, but
the batistes are used mostly In the less
expensive ones. The silk corset in the more
expensive makes are genuine whalebone
filled.
CORRECT SHOES FOR SUMMER
What Dame Fashion Has Decreed to
Be Worn on the Feet
This Seasoa.
The Cuban or military heel, the shorter
vamp, a rather pointed toe and a modified
extension sole, are some of the character
istics of the street shoe that will be worn
this season. The patent leather Is stilt
the thing for dress, but the dull finish Is
used most for street wear. The walking
boot baa a short top and large ball but
tons and the college toe with the per
forated tip gives It the mannish effect.
The matinee tie is one of the best of
the low cut shoes. It comes in dull finish
and without the tip. It Jias three eyelets
and the tie Is a grosgraln ribbon In the
inch width. ' The turntd sole In the dress
shoe has the French heel. An Innovation
Is the canvas tie in colors. It is a dupli
cate of the matinee tie, except in material.
The white ties are made of sea island
lnen or canvas. All colors will be worn
to match the gowns, but the wise woman
will get her order in early, for not a very
full line of these novelties will be carried in
stock, and If all the desired shades are
'matched the orders will have to be sent on
east, and that will take time. These novel
ties will not be as expensive as might be
Imagined, and range In cost from $t50 to
13.50.
STOCKS STILL HAVE A VOGUE
!" Heekwear Provided In Maay Forms
raaole. to, the Sprla.
:
The advent of the lingerie waist with its
attached collar or Dutch neck has ma
terially diminished the variety in neckwear,
f There are a fuw stocks shown, and they
iare really pretty. Moat of them have tabs,
ilong or short, and these are much trimmed.
,3ome of the stocks are made if linen, with
J trimming of appliqued braid or inset with
l."babv Irish or Valenciennes lace, and some
(ff the more elaborate have tho long tab
ithat drops twelve or fifteen Inches, while
Vothers fall clear to the waist, forming a
, J fancy pleat, or front effect for dark waists.
Tne sets of embroidered linen collar and
,'.cuff are very pretty and very popular.
Hand embroidered hemstitched edged
'ets In the batiste, and handkerchief linens
and India llnon are prettiest for every day
.wear. Some of the more pretentious sets
' are combinations of baby Irish and lace
iwlth batiste and other sheer fabrics.
Bets of dickey and half sleet es are
"'among the novelties that ill be worn.
.Tbese are made of a variety of materials
.from the real lace and baby Irish and the
'lingerie combinations down to embroidered
batistes and handkerchiefs linens. The
dickeys may be worn In or over the waists.

HANDKERCHIEFS ARE PRETTY
Hand Embroidery Maeh In Evidence
on Milady's F.xqaUltely
Dainty Moacholr,
The hand embroidery so much In evi
dence Is also a feature of the handkerchief.
These bits of sheer linen or mercerised
cotton or India llnon are preferably about
thirteen Inches square and the embroidery
Is scattered over them In form of dots, tiny
flowers or other small designs. The hems
are all narrow. The barred linens are also
to be much used and, Inner borders of
raised threads are counted very good. Some
of the stores are showing novelties in the
way of colored bordered handkerchiefs.
These are Imported and their oddity la
their one redeeming feature. They are
made of mercerised cotton and the colors
extend through them in borders or plaids
and the shades are not even delicate.
The Mexican draa-nwork makes a pretty
decoration for the more elaborate kerchief
and extends around the square not far
from the border or is confined to the
corners.
BOLERO FOR THE MIDSUMMER
Jacket that Will Take Plaee of Their
Wrap for the Hottest
Klgkt.
Some stunning little bolero Jackets for
midsummer wear are already being shown.
They are even more elaborate than the
trifles in the way of wraps that were worn
lust summer, and there Is even less to
them. They are loose and cut low In the
neck and the favorite model Is notched up
the back. They are so short that the
blouse may be seen above the girdle below
them. The sleeves are scarcely more than
a short ruffle and many of them are open
on the top nearly to the shoulder. The
body of the Jacket Is of linen or net snd
DREAMS FOR GLARE AND DUST
Veils Will Protect the Face and
Even Add to Its Color
Effect.
The term "dream" Is by no means far
fetched, when applied to the veilings that
will be worn this spring. The softest,
daintiest chiffons In tints and colors cor
responding with the suit will be worn as
storm veils. These are also used as auto
mobile veils. They are about twenty Inches
wide with an Inch or deeper hem at the
lower edge, and about three yards long.
They are worn crossed in the back and
tied under the chin or at the side. These
cost from 2.50 to U. The crepe chiffons
and the dotted chiffons are also good.
In the small face veils the small dotted,
plain and fancy nets are the correct thing.
These may be had in black and white and
colore.
The comnlexlon ve'l is one of the novelties
that is effective for the woman who needs
such things. It Is made up In the stores
and consists of an under veil of delicate
pink tulle with a net over veil. It gives
a delicate glow to the face.
HOUSE DRESSES ARE SENSIBLE
Some Gowns Planned for Comfort and
Service and Plainly
Made.
The bouse dress Is a model of neatness,
comfort and serviceability. Lawns, percales
and prints are made up In shirtwaist suits,
with skirts well off the floor and simply
made. The waists fit onto a belt and are
sufficiently loose to admit of free use of the
arms without binding. Some of the daintier
onee have three-quarter or elbow sleeves
finished with little cuffs or frills of lace
and are cut with the Dutch neck, while
others have attached or separate collars,
and where the sleeve is long It ends in a
buttoned cuff or Is otherwise finished so
that It may be turned back or raised.
NEGLIGEE IS MADE COMFY
Tea Jackets, Dressing- Jackets,
Klmoaoa aad the Like on
Ktw Models.
The tea, Jackets and dressing Jackets are
among the dalnlest articles offered for
women this year. They are loose and made
of the softest china silks. Swisses and
lawns. White Is preferable, but the dainty
colors are much In vogue. It is much more
shapely and the Dutch neck or the lace
collar give a pretty finish. The sleeve Is
loose and open and draper, and lace and
embroidery and other trimmings are com
bined in some truly marvelous creations.
Negligees and wrappers are simply the
full length klmopos and Jackets, with a
graceful addition of fullness lo the skirt
