Thsrs ara so many beautiful things from
which to make a selection when a woman
oes Into a furniture stor with ths Idea
of furnlshlna a home that shs la dellithted
beyond ths power of eapresslon. Her hus
band. If he accompan;es her. Is absolutely
bewildered and la well content to allow
her to make ths purchases without any re
strictions on his part except as to financial
limit and a suggestion or two regarding
some comfortable chair or couch for his
own benefit. The Omaha furnltura firms
offer such a variety of beautiful furniture,
pretentious, medium-priced and even In
expensive, that eren ths woman who
thinks she knows what shs wants must
spend at least a day or two In making up
her mind what she will buy for her horns.
If shs has plenty of money and wants her
parlor furnished with the finest mahogany
and her bedrooms with teakwood, she may
find such furniture In a great variety of
patterns. If her purse Is not so fat, she
has everything to select from In ths way of
oak, with which she can furnish her home
In a tasty manner and make it more com
fortable in appearance than If she gets the
stately mahogany. If her tastes be simple,
the dealers offer her furniture of ths plain
est pattern; If her tasts be somewhat
rococo, the daintiest, together with the
most florid things of ths eighteenth cen
tury Europe are set before her. In short,
everything In the line of furniture, domes
tic and Imported, which ars familiar to
the eastern markets, can be bought In
Omaha., The home-maker, no matter what
his taste may ba, does not need to go out
side his own city in buying.
Parlor Saites and Prosperity.
The parlor is the woman's pride. This
is ths one room which is always and
eternally spick and span and ready for
tho most critical Inspection. However
strange It may seem that a woman should
consider the most ornamental before the
most useful, it Is yet true that t;he will
always ask the dealer to show his parlor
things before she thinks of her bedroom
suites and her dining room table. And
the dealer says it is a sjgn of a better
spirit of the times prevailing that she
buys rather heavy, substantial furniture
for her parlor instead of the frail, dainty,
uncomfortable appearing things of a few
years ago. It is not that she does not
like them no, not that for her f ye lingers
long on them. But styles hav changed
and she must obpy the orders of the dic
tatorfashion. Perhaps the majority of
women like the new styles better; per
haps the old ones better. Who knows!
The dealer does not. He only knows that
both appeal to her and that sl e is ever
tempted to let go her purse strings.
Makeoa of the Set.
Of course ths style of the parlor furni
ture must be In accord with the general
decorative effect adopted for the house.
It may be any one of a number of ap
proved styles, though the most popular
at present Is In reproduction of colonial and
antique patterns. Mahogany la generally
elected by those who are not limited in
expenditure, but other woods serve as
well and look quite as neat and stylish.
The set la made up of large, comfortable
pieces, lnoludlng the chairs and rockers,
and a davenport and table are the proper
thing. Heavy chairs and a davenport and
a tilt-top table of mahogany In colonial
style make one of the prettiest rooms
Imaginable. This tilt-top table, by the way,
can be put to useful purposes, or it can
be placed at the side of the room for orna
mental purposes, half of it turned up to lie
flat against the wall, showing to the best
effect its dark, smooth-polished surface.
A vase or other ornament is cften placed
in the center of It to relieve the bare
ness. The recherche dining room Is fitted up
with colonial or antique reproductions In
mahogany. The less precentlous room is
furnished with dark oak of early English
finish. The popular pieces are of such plain
design that they closely aproach the mis
sion pattern. In selecting a sideboard for
this scheme great liberty Is alowed as to
height and width, but of course the piece
is plain.
Where Sleep Is Wooed.
Pei'hape the greatest range la given in
tha selection of bedroom furniture. Here
teakwood, curly birch and bird's-eye maple
may be chosen aj readily as mahogany,
and any one of these woods, in various
styles, give a very pretty effect. To tell
the truth, mahogany, which is always in
good taste, is the most popular for the
bedroom, as it is for the parlor. As is
the case with the other rooms of the house,
antique and colonial patterns are oftenest
sold, although there Is a growing demand
for carved furniture In the mahogany. Na
poleon beds, the bead and foot of which
roll back, and which are of plain design,
are in big demand. Brass beds are used to
an extent not generally supposed, and they
match well with the lighter colored woods.
Chairs and dressers of natural mahogany,
curly birch and bird's-eye maple look par
ticularly well with brass beds.
Bllver gray maple Is a novel furniture
for bed .rooms. It is nothing more nor
less than bird's-eye maple, finished in dull
gray, through which the grain of the wood
shows admirably. Then prima vera, or
white mahogany, makes a high grade bed
room wood, aa It takes a very fine satin
polish. Probably it is the most expensive
of the woods, for it is not common, and
only the best of the material is selected.
Teakwood, from the 10a at Indies, finished
in wavy light-brown, makes a handsome
bedroom furniture.
Reeeptloa Hall and Dea.
The reception ball can be made very
comfortable, at the same time according
with the style of the parlor. It should
be furnished with an easy fireside chair
and perhaps a small settle. The latter
may be upholstered or plain. In keeping
with the general plan of the furnishing.
There lives scarcely a boy or girl, or
even a man or woman, who does not dream
of a den, if he or shs dosa not already have
one in which to live and lounge and be
comfortable. Weathered oak of the mission
styls Is the only "real" thing for the den.
It looks comfortable, and la comfortable
as well as substantial, and ths danger of
damaging it by scratches la reduced to the
minimum by Us grain and color. Chairs,
rockers and settees are usually covered
with Spanish leather, and the chairs are
furnished with loose cushions, making
them soft, luxurious places of rest. The
tilted angle of their backs makes them
doubly comfortable.
One of the most comfortable things that
can be found for the den Is an English
chair, covered with English morocco, fitted
with morocco pillows stuffed with feath
ers, and lilted back at an angle of forty
five degrees. It Is an Ideal resting place
for a wornout body. But, oh. the price.
Only ft wealthy man oould afford it The
poor man would walk on tiptoe for a week
If he ventured to aak how much money
would be required to buy It.
Paaelee la Pwralfar.
One of the local stores hag a room of
Imported things, which, though very com
mon In eastern homes, are only In oc
casional demand here. In this room there
Is Italian hand-carved mahogany of ex
exquisite pattern, dainty Chippendale
pieces and real Sheraton, Louts Quinse fur
niture and hand-made Mary Queen of Bcots
furniture. Numerous rococo French pieces
are shown, and the English Chesterfield,
which Is synonymous with the American
davenport, and which Is also a model of
soft comfort.
AUTO GARB UNCONVENTIONAL
Western Mas Hot Iaellaed to Go la
for' Specialties la This
IJae.
The clothier asserts that out here In the
west the autolsts are very negligent In pro
viding themselves with the latest things In
auto wear. Consequently changes In the
garb used by drivers of devil machines
come slow. As the cap la the most common
article of wear, it is the most Importsnt
In the list of garments affected by the
autolst The western man Is satisfied us
ually with an auto cap of the latest design,
a pair of goggles, a pair of gauntlets and a
common rain coat.
This Is partly due. It Is explained, to the
fact that the autolst must frequently en
tertain his friends at auto parties, and
these friends may not be owners of ma
chines and hence are not accoutred with
the garments of the host. This has a tend
ency to restrict Investments In garments
for exclusive use on the road.
In the east one of the new articles of auto
clothing is a rubber shirt-like garment
which goes over the ordinary clothing. It
Is as nearly seamless as it can be vnade
and Is supposed to be absolutely dust-proof.
The wealthy eastern autolst will have one
of these garments for each of his guetts as
he takes them spinning over the city, but It
cannot be said the garment has bectmc
popular In the west.
The leather coat Is still popular and cor
duroy as a material for auto garments js
said to be growing In the graces of ths mi
chine drivers.
TOPCOATS FOR THE SPRIN0
Overcoats to Be a Little Lesser an!
Raincoats to Be Cat More
Carefally.
The spring overcoat this senson ha
lengthened out somewhat from last spring's
style. The proper length Is about to thn
knee, though trade papers from the cast
say the shorter coats are still popular
there. The fashionable garment conform
in general to the cut of the business suit.
The shoulders are broad with a slightly
concave effect on top. It Is drawn Jn at
the vftlnt, following the general contour
of the body. The skirt Is full and Inclined
to dare out at the bottom and has a vent
reaching to the waist. The lapels are a
little broader than the old style and are
cut long.
The prevailing materials for overcoats
are plain and mixed worsteds, vicuna
and unfinished worsteds. The fad for hard
finish goods being gratified here as well
as in the business suit.
The popularity of the rain coat for wear
In fair as well as stormy weather has led
to greater care being exercised in Its
makeup. Large numbers of men have no
other' light overcoat and hence are more
particular In picking out the garment. The
geniyal tendency Is to follow the overcoat
styles. The waist is drawn in and the
skirt is a little fuller than usual.
In colors and material the choice la re
stricted to some extent to the darker
shades, though a light tan is being sold.
PEARL GLOVESJHE FASHION
Only Oae Color is Permitted by
the Pan for Man This
Season.
The fastidious man will wear only pearl
gloves this season. The glove counter
show a large assortment of shades In this
color, which prevails there also. Both
kid and Mocha gloves .are almost limited
to this color. The usual tans and blacks
are only to encase the hands of those
who do not look with respect on the dic
tates of the eastern fashion book. The
style Is simple as to the trimmings and
they will be largely of a lighter shade
than the main body of the glove.

TIPS ON THE EASTER DINNER
Material Support for the Spiritual Joyi

UNITS OF AN APPROPRIATE FEAST
ralatabl Dishes Destsiaed t Prod ace
the Rlht Effect aad Harmealit
with the Gay Clothes
The Easter dinner should be a feast com
posed of features suitable for the season of
spring and of rejoicing a dinner, one might
say, to harmonise with the beautiful new
hats and gowns that will make the day en
joyable. For the soup there was one named for
Minerva, and while It may not be con
ducive to wisdom. It will add to one'
knowledge of soups worth talking about.
To make It, peel, slice and remove seeds
from three large cucumbers. Fry In two
tablespoons butter ten minutes; then add
three tablespoons flour and three cups white
stock. Scald one cup milk with a slice of
onion and two blades of mace. Combine
mixtures and rub through a sieve. Re
heat to boiling point and add one-half cup
cream and the yolks of two eggs. Serve
with toasted Cassava bread.
The fish course appeared in the form of
sole fillets a la Marguery. Sole needs
much in the way of saucing or flavoring to
make its appearance welcome, and when
Miss Farmer presented It as fit for an
Easter dish It was "dressed up to the
nines," as our friends of the . crossroads
say. As you can see by the following:
For the Fish Coarse.
Cut fish Into fillets, season with salt,
pepper and lemon juice, arrange in pan,
cover with buttered pan, and bake In a
hot oven. Arrange on serving dish and
garnish with canned mushrooms, bread cut
in fancy shapes and sauted In butter,
shrimps and fried oysters. Take bones and
trimmings of fish and make Into stock,
there should be one and a quarter cups.
Melt two and one-half tablespoons butter,
add two and one-half tablespoons flour;
then fish stock. Season with salt and pep
per and add two and one-half tablespoons
butter In small pieces. Pour sauce around
fish.
Then there were other fillets but, for the
next course. They were Mlgnon fillets of
beef a la M Ira. beau, like this:
Saute small fillets in hot omelet pan. Gar
nish with anchovies, stoned olives, green
butter and chopped parsley. Arrange on
same platter stuffed tomatoes and fried po
tato balls.
For a vegetable there were artichoke bot
toms prepared In this manner. Remove
artichokes from can, drain and reheat. Ar
range on serving dish and pile on each
small peaa mixed with cubes of carrot
seasoned with salt and pepper and mois
tened with butter. Surround with a Mous
seltne sauce, for which beat the yolks of
three eggs until thick and lemon-colored;
add one-half cup heavy cream and cook
over hot water until mixture thickens, stir
ring constantly. Add one-fourth cup butter,
one-half tablespoon lemon juice and salt
and pepper to taste. Serve Immediately.
When It Cornea to Pwddlnsr.
For one sweet there was a decided nov
elty, a French Easter pudding. To make
It soak two and one-half tablespoons gran
ulated gelatine In one-half eup cold water
and dissolve In one and one-fourth cups
boiling water; add one and one-half cups
sauterne, two and one-half tablespoons
lemon juice and one cup sugar. Color with
Burnett's violet Place a mould In pan of
Ice water, pour In mixture one-half inch
deep; when firm decorate with violet and
angelica. Add gradually more mixture to
cover design; when this Is firm place a
smaller Mnould in the center on jelly and
fill with ice water; pour remaining Jelly
between moulds; when firm remove Inside
mould and fill space with this Easter cream.
Seed one-quarter pound raisins, add one
fourth cup brandy and cook until raisins
are soft Make a custard of one and one
half cups cream, one-half cup sugar, the
yolks of three eggs and one-eighth tea
spoon salt; add tablespoon gelatine soaked
In two tablespoons cold water; strain,
cool slightly and add one-fourth cup flavor
ing, using maraschino and Sloe Gin In
equal proportions; stir until mixture thick
ens; then add raisins: garnish with small
cakes and fresh violets.

Business Methods." In one chapter be
salts the question, "Is the superiority of
American Industry based on better ma
chinery?" This, he thinks, is not the case,
though he finds American tools and ma
chinas superior to those of Europe. The
reason for the superiority lies. In ths au
thor's opinion. In the better organisation
of offices and factories, the methodical su
pervision of every detail, the constant
watchfulness that no single branch of a
business fall behind and last, but not least,
the minute division of labor.
