For evening wear the most diaphanous of rnouesellnc and chiffons are appropriate, but more serviceable evening frocks are by bo means wanting;. Lingerie frocks of finest batiste exquisitely embroidered and lace trimmed are among the evening frocka for summer wear, and few things are ns charming for the purpose; but the really successful lingerie frock Is a more expen sive thing than the ordinary evening frock, nd as It Is usually quite outside of the province of the laundress, the problem of ml fit !

Nothing could be prettier for the Informal summer evening frock than one of the one. piece gowns of batiste - r mull trimmed la multitudes of tiny tucks and countless rows of Inset Valenciennes Insertion. These are made upon the simplest lines, cut lightly low at the neck and finished at Beck and sleeves by frills of narrow Val enciennes, b'lt worn over a china silk slip nd by 'a pretty girl the deceitfully simple little frocks tire ' altottet her delightful. Of the more ornate lingerie frocka rich In hand embroidery we have already spoken, but these are made up for day wear more than for evening. For hard service evening use a chiffon taffeta of very simple quality Is an excel lent thing and warranted to keep Its fresh ness and shapeliness even In seashore dampness or evening dews. By putting enough . laoe chiffon or tulle about the bodice the heavy effect, which Is taffeta's chief reproach in the sphere of evening frock, can be done away with; and now that the fine taffetas are so thin and soft even that device is hardly necessary. One of the evening frocks sketched for . the group was of taffeta and was re markably successful. The color was a lovely rose petal pink, and the lines of the model, though simple, wt; admirable. The skirt has a petticoat of Valenciennes, the oversklrt being finished at the edge by lines of very narrow pink and gold galloon and narrow plHltlngs of the pink taffeta. Similar trimming edges the round neck of the bodice, whk'h Is cut quite. low in front to show a tucker of vulenclennes. Bleeves and bodice are cut in one, with armholee runnlug down quite to the girdle. Not so practical, yet calculated, to stand considerable havd wear, was the evening frock, with skirt of net and coal of pompa dour silk bordered by tiny galloon of black and 'cold. The arrangement of the ribbon and rose trimming upon the skirt of this model1 was very effective, the blue of the ribbon and the pink of the tiny roses echo ing the coloring of the pompadour design, while the net and the ground of the silk were white. Bordered Materials. Bordered materials of the sheer silky class are greatly liked for evening wear and many of these obtain their effects In the simplest of ways. The skirt Is full and plain, with the exquisite border at bottom for its only trimming. The b,dice opens In a V to the girdle frout and back, with the border outlining the V. The stuff is usually draped on the shoulder and drawn softly to the girdle, and this shoulder drapery Is likely to extend out over a soft puff sleeve and to show a bordered edge. The bodice V, front and back, la filled In with net. lace or tulle. The little short sleeves are perhaps of the same material. There Is a girdle which repeats the coloring In the border, and there Is a frock not t o subtle for the ordinary dressmaker's ability. If she be at all clever, yet immensely effective. Often a line of plain color satin or silk borders the bodice V and appears upon the other borders of the frock, and occasionally this line Is of black, contrasting sharply ytt attractively with the delicate tinting of the material. Hems of plain black silk mouskellne ars set on the colored borders with Irregular lines of handsome lace and finishing all the borders of the frock. Tha surplice or V shape corsage lines are Does Your H. - TTTFa r mt It gtty t home 01 air Mmdt extremely popular both In deoollette frocks and In high necked frocks and one of the marked details of the season's modes Is the tendency to duplicate bodice front lines In the back of the bodice. The bodice material Is cut down as low In the back as In front and filled In, as Is the front, with contrasting material, though of course Tat bark lines are maintained. For example, the charming French frock of rose silk moussellne pictured In the central sketch has surplice folds front and back, the V opening almost to the girdle and filled In by a fine lace tucker. The management of this surplice drapery with Its frills of lace and tiny roses Is an orig inal detail and, like drapery, trims the skirt cleverly. The plain crepes snd thin silks are offered In wonderfully beautiful qualities and col orings and are available for evening frocks, both lovely and serviceable, and the nets are legion. Borne very attractive French dancing frocks which have been brought over by Importers ars In rather coarse silk ftlet net of pale tints, trimmed In ftiet lace bands of the same tint as the net and In frllla of some fine cream lace, such as Valenciennes. Lines and knots of taJfeta or liberty and a girdle of the same are added trimming. ' Pretty frocks of crepe do chine are made with full skirt finished simply by tucks at the bottom. Draped pieces of the crepe pass in bretelle fashion over the shoulders and to the girdle In front and back. A decollette blouse of cream net and lace or mouHsellne and lace Is under the bre telle drapery and the short pult sleeves are of the blouse material. This model carried out In pearly gray crepe de chlno over a creamy blouse of Valenciennes frills and with a girdle and sleeve knots of soft yellow panne Is as charming as It Is un assuming. I'se of Oae-Toaed Stripes. One-tone striped materials In sntin and game, crepe de chine . and chiffon, silk moussellne and marquisette and other com binations make modish evening frocks, and the stripe Idea la In evidence throughout the whole range of materials, though the Peking stripes are less popular than they were lest season and the preference Is given to one-tone striping. Among the tine linens and tolles de sole (silk linens) some very attractive Peking effects are shown, however, and several of the great eat Parisian dressmakers have taken up certain handsome tclles de sole with stripes fully three Inches In width. ' Worth, for instance, has an especially successful model in tolle de sole, which shows alternating three-Inch stripes of white and light blue. The skirt Is so plaited that around waist and hips it appears to be all blue, and upon the front of the skirt box plaits are stitched down so far that the whole aklrt front effect 1 light blue. At the sides, however, below the hips the plaits flare to show the broad white stripes. Little buttons and loops of blue are set down each side of the skirt front, osten sibly holding the box plaits together. The surplice bodice, with the Inevitable kimono sleeve. Is so draped to match the skirt that little of the white shows In the sur plice . folds, but broad white stripes run around tha wide sleeves above the hem stitched hem. Buttons and loops hold box plaits on each aide of the front and the V opening la filled In by folds of open work batiste embroidery and a sheer gulrape of Valen ciennes. The model would be a good one even for plain material and Is excessively chic In the stripe. Oasahans oa tha Riviera. Florida coast was not the popular resort for Omaha people this winter as It has been for level al seasons past. Instead Europe seemed to be their object point.

CMAH. WOMAN'S CLUB ELECTS OFFICERS All Former Incarabents Returned for Second Term Interesting Farts Coseerslsg Women Presented at Industrial Exhibit. The secretary did most of the work at Monday afternoon's meeting of the Omaha Woman's club, when for one officer after another she cast the unanimous ballot of the club for re-sleetlon. Mrs. Draper Bmlth, first vice president, was the one exception, she declining re-election, and Mrs. J. IL Dumont was elected In her place. Mrs. Bmlth declined on the ground that It was unwise to have the terms of the executive committee expire at one time, as they do where the entire commute Is re-elected for a second term. The first desire of the club was demonstrated when Mrs. A. B Bomers' name was placed In nomination for re-election to the presidency. A motion was made that the secretary be instructed to cast the ballot for the club. In a moment a score or more members were on their feet seconding the motion, while the re mainder of the gathering applauded vig orously. One after another, with the ex ception of Mrs. Smith, the other officers weie returned to a second term, Mrs. A. L. 8heetx as second vice president, Mrs. D. M. Cameron as recording secretary, Mrs. W. II. Hancock as corresponding secretary, and Mrs. J. W. Aiken as treasurer. The assistant treasurer is appointed by the treasurer and the appointment confirmed by the executive. The following chairmen of standing com mlttees were also elected: Auditing com mittee, Mrs. C. E. Sumner; constitution; Mrs. W. P. Harford; courtesies, Mrs. Ralph Elliott: house and home, Mrs. Henry Mac Donald. Mrs. Oeorge Tllden. Mrs. H. P. Hamilton and Miss Bamantha R. Davis were elected members of the library com mittee and Mrs. B. A. Collins, Mrs. C. W. Hayes, Mrs. C. B. Coon, Mrs, M. J. Mat thews and Mrs. Oeorge Bonner members of the membership committee. Leelare to Be Aided. After the election the club decided to co operate with Superintendent Davidson and the teachers In bringing Dr. F. H. Clarke of the department of public speaking of the University of Chicago to Omaha some time in the fall. He will be secured for two lectures on some phase of the educational value of literature. A change In the date of the lecture on forestry by Enos Mills, from April 24 to Tuesday evening, April 23, was announced. An informal reception will follow the ad dress. Following the business hour.

Women la Industry. Among the most Interesting chart Il lustrations at the recent Industrial exhibit at Chicago concerned the domestic service question and following are some of the curious, but little-known facts brought out: One out of every fifteen women in Mas sachusetts does housework for pay. Out of the women in tne aimsnouses or the United States, who were formerly wage earners, 78 per cent were domestic ser vants, while only 4 per cent were dress makers or seamstresses, and only S per cent mill or factory operators. The Domestic Reform league last year had applications from 10.400 employers wanting help, and from only 4,200 servants wanting places. The excess or demand over supply may re in pari accouniea ror by another chart, showing the comparative hours of labor. In shops and factories. Women's work Is limited by law to flfty- lght hours a week. Investigation showed that tile average noura per wee ror gen eral housework girls were eighty-three hours and twenty minutes; ofr cooks. eighty-six hours, and for second girls eighty-nine hours and thirty minutes. Some Farther Facts. The Women's Trade Union league of Massachusetts furnished another of the Interesting series of charts. One showed the number of trade disputes settled by arabltratlon, through the efforts of the unions, without a strike. In some of the best organlxed trades there has not been a strike for years. The educational effect of the unions was also shown, and their Im portant work In bringing Immigrants of varied nationalities Into mutual sympathy, and co-operation. Thus tha English, Scotch, French and Spanish lace-makers have an International trade-union card ad mitting the members of the foreign unions to those In America when they come here as immigrants. So have the Norwegian. Danish, Swedish, German, Dutch, Swiss, Italian, Austrian and Hungarian brick layers. One graphic chart showed the nation alities of the women employed In our tex tile industries, and the change going on year by year; the Englishwoman (dressed In red) growing smaller and smaller; the Irishwoman (in green) growing first larger and then smaller; the French Canadian (in blue) swelling to huge proportions, and then beginning to lessen, with the - Portu guese, Italian, Polish, Russian, Greek, Syrian and Armenian women coming up In their turn. Clob Rotes. Several departments of the Omaha Woman's club will hold their last meeting and elect officers for the coming year this week. The musical department will give a brief program Thursday at 1:30, followed by an Informal social hour. The current topics department will meet Tuesday af ternoon at t o'clock. The household economics department will hold Its last meeting Thursday morning at 10 o'clock and the American history department will hold Its final meeting for the year Tuesday afternoon at 3 30 o'clock In the club rooms. Ths new constitution of Oklahoma es pecially provides that a woman may be chairman of ths stats board of oharltles and correction. Feaclas For Development. There Is no better exercise for all around development of women than fencing-, but women generally are only beginning to realise Its possibilities. Sufferers from poor circulation, narrow chests, obealty or scrawny arms and necks and stooped shoulders consult the "beauty" and other specialists regularly, diet and take freak exercise and with only half satisfactory r-aults. seucmg is ns of ths exercises that may be Indulged In without any risk. Ths beginner readily rsoognlsed bar prog ress and Its competitive feature lends the art a fascination that relieves It of any monotony or drudgery. What fencing will do for a woman may be readily determined by systematic muscular measurement. It calls Into play every muscle of the body which, combined with the mental alertness.

POINTERS OH SUNDAY CLOSING MATTER So Action Takes bat Remarks which Are Dropped Indicate the Lid Will Remain Down Possibly TtsThter Than Ever. The new Board of Fire and Police com missioners appointed by Governor Sheldon for the city of Omaha, composed of John I Kennedy, Robert Cowell, E. C. Pagj and W. M. Oilier, held Its Initial meeting Monday evening in the board rooms at the city hall, with all members present and Mayor Dahlman In the chair. P-uslness began with perfecting the organisation, Mr. Kennedy being elected chairman pro tenj, Mr. Page secretary and Mr. Cowell assist ant secretary, to act in the absence of Mr. Page. The board was then ready to wade Into the mass of business that had accumu lated since the last meeting of the old board, but it was rather slow going until the ropes were learned. There was a goodly crowd present to wit ness the opening meeting, and many were curious to glean some idea of the probable attitude of the new commissioners In cer tain directions, but there was little in the proceedings to show which way the wind la to blow. There was noticeable among ths members, however, particular Interest when the matter of the sale of liquor on Sundays arose and an Interchange of laugh ing remarks, even before the license board met. The subject came up when the new ordi nance on the sale of liquors by drug stores was read, and Chief of Police Donahue was asked a number of questions regarding the situation In Omaha, as affected by the Slocumb law and the efforts toward Its en forcement. The chief Informed the board that druggists had been arrested for sell ing liquor on Sunday, but all released who pleaded not guilty: that clubs sell liquor to members at any time. and. the chief added, "I suppose the resort houses do." Attltad on Sanaa? Closing;. "Tou suppose they do. I suppose that can be got at said Mr. Kennedy, laugh ing, the whole room following suit.

The evidence of good cheer and friendly feeling continued after this sally. wv"n Mr. Page remarked with the same Jocularity of manner: "Maybe It is the pleasure of this board that it be ascertained. At least it Is mine." These were the only remarks which could be construed to display the position of any member of the board, but that all took a lively interest in the subject of the sale of liquor on Sunday were plainly manifest when, following the reading of the drug store ordinance and reports by Chief Dona hue of arrests made under the Slocumb liw, lengthy discussions were held aa to what the law really provides, and the mem bers expressed their intention of reading up on all matters pertaining to liquor selling. The usual routine business was gone through carefully. Several applications from firemen for annual leave were granted and sick benefits from both firemen's and policemen's relief funds approved. The matter of allowing the monthly bills was held over until ths next meeting. Beasts Park Wants Patrol Boxes. A communication from Bemls park resi dents was read In which the board was re quested to place two patrol boxes In the district for the use of a private watchman recently secured and paid for by the resi dents, and this brought up the matter of renewing the alarm system contract with the Nebraska Telephone company, which expires June 1. The annual charge of $5,000, with extra charge for additional in struments, and $12t each, for Installing new alarm boxes, seemed excessive to some of the members, and Commissioners Kennedy and Page were appointed a committee to Investigate the new five-year contract ten dered by the telephone company and re port at the next meeting. The boxea for Bemls park will then be passed upon. An application for a saloon license for 2572 Leavenworth was at first rejected on the ground that the policy of the old board to grant no new -licenses will, be followed by the new body, but upon the representa tion of a member of the Krug Brewing company, who sought the license for Hans P. Hanson, that it Is an old location. Com missioners Cowell and Oilier were appointed a committee to Investigate the place. The charges against Patrolman E. R. Smith, under suspension, of having struck a woman, came up for hearing, but on the request of Smith was postponed one week In order that he might have his witnesses present.
