CONCERNING MOTOR COATS

Veils.
The practical motor coat must, of course,
have collar and cuffs capable of closing
snugly around throat and wrists, but this
season the manufacturers have brought
out a large supply of picturesque dust
coats with collarlesa, trimmed necks and
variations of ue kimono aleeve. This does
not refer to the elegant wraps mentioned
i earlier, but to simpler cloaks of light
weight check or stripe woolen, pongees
and other dust shedding stuffs and fash
ioned with tailored severity.
These will answer very well to slip on
over a summer frock for a short motor
spin to country club or village or friend's
horn, and some of them are extremely
pretty. One such garment waa aeen in
what appeared to be a soft Panama of
white ground checked In lines of black
and Danish blue, and trimmed tn black
silk braid and blue taffeta pipings and
scarf, which, though moderate In price,
had much cachet and would undoubtedly
be both becoming and serviceable.
Handsome coals of supple leather beauti
fully tailored and In lovely coloring are
among the expensive things provided for
ths motor woman's use, but are practicable
only for cool weather and sporty wear.
For the summer girl of only one motor
coat the wisest choice Is possibly a tuasor
or mohair or silk rubber coat, which will
1 be cool enough for hot days, while a
weater or waistcoat may be slipped on
under it If extra warmth la needed. If
possible It la well to have at least two
motor coal, on of comfortably warm
tweed or cheviot, the other of tuasor, linen
or other cool material.
In the line of motor beadwear there Is
practically nothing new. The pongee cap
with dust hood, the face shields with mica
plate for I be eyea, all these ugly protec
tive device are an old story, and dis
tinctive motor caps have been more or leas
abandoned by the women who motor.
Any small, dose fitting hat that will offer
little resistance to the wind and may be
comfortably and becomingly fastened on
by a huge veil completely covering the
: hair and neck and tied under the chin, la
In order, and these big veils In light colors
or white ar aa a rule becoming. A good
veil either of silk tissue or chiffon cloth
may be washed, so the delicate colors are
a possibility even for the tourist.

pays the following tribute to Miss Mary
Merriam Abbott, chairman of the federa

occurred recently:
Even now after these weeks since Miss
Abbott left us, we can only ask. Why?
On February SS we were together In Chi
cago at the meeting of the superintendents
of the National Education association.
Never was Mies Abb-nt more forceful than
at the conference, where she presented her

M hat Sew Tork Women Do.
The largest local organisation of women
In this country and probably In the world
is the New Tork City Federation of
Women's Clubs, with a membership of
M.000. It haa been In exist en oe but a few
years and la still growing rapidly, hav
ing gained lt.OOO member since Its annual
meeting a year ago. Something of the di
versity of Interests combined In the or
ganlztlon may be gained from the report
made at a meeting of a committee last
week to the effect that since May I the
Interborough Teachers association, ths
Women's Original Republican club and the
Jewish Women's Relief association . had
come Into the federation. A committee on
woman suffrage recomemnded that suf
frage speaker be supplied for all gather
ing where they were desired. The edu
cational committee reported, after Investi
gation, the advisability of separating de
fective from normal children In the public
schools. A report wa also mad from the
recently organised and much discussed as
sociation for the protection of the right of
passengers In public conveyance. Art.
music, the protection of the American flag
and an effort to stop the practice of has
tng in college are among the other In
terest affiliated.

The second biennial council meeting of

was held Wednesday and Thursday of this
week at Jamestown. Ya. While only the
most meager reports have been made aa
yet. the council Is next to tb biennial con

Important business to come before the Bos

the council for preliminary discussion and
the Informal decisions reached win have
much weight tn the ultimate decision Be
sides the officers of the General Federation,
committee chairmen and many state presi
dent, scores of club president attended the
gathering also.
MssBlsatlsar CsBaasltte Reports.
An Interesting decision waa made recently
by Miaa Anne Rhode of the Long Island
council of Women's club regarding th
right of nominating committees to place
on the ticket the names of women who
have not consented to serve in case of elec
tion. Miss Rhodes said: "In my opinion
a nominating committee should never pre
sent a ticket until the willingness of every
one on that ticket to serve haa been ascer
tained. What you get by the otTier method
la not a ticket, but merely a possible ticket,
and the business of a nominating commit
tee Is to present a ticket that may be
acted, upon."

At a high noon wedding a bride and her
bridesmaids wear high neck gowns, but

If possible, a girl should avoid what Is

THROWING RICE AT WEDDINGS
Orlat of taust Ewksmualag Csatssa
Grass.
The significance of showering rice after
a departing bride and groom has had
many explanations, but one of the pret
tiest was given recently by a bride's maid
at a wedding. According te her version.
It waa once believed that if a newly
wedded couple aaw flock of dotes while
oa their bridal trip It was an omen of a
long, happy and prospsroua life together.
On time a bridal party wnne paaslng a
flock ef these timid birds so frightened
them that they flew away la great alarm.
To avert tbe evil signified In this flight
tbe bridal attendants scattered tics la
great quantities about the bride and groom
to lure back the frightened bird The
plan proved so successful that not only
the original flock returned, but other
doves cum with them and since then th
rice has been showsred over the bridal
couple to attract every good thing ts
them.

SOUTH SIDEMEN TO MEET
Opposltlsa ikswa ts Lsxsatlsa sf Car
Ban aa Ssatk Teatk
Street.
Members of the South Side Improvement
dub are called to meet at their hall at
Tenth and Hickory streets this (Friday)
evening at I o'clock for the purpose of tak
ing action In the matter of street car
service.
The most Important question to be pre
sented Is tbe objection of the Bisters tn
charge of St. Joseph's hospital to the pro
posed plan of the Omaha ac Council Bluffs
Street Railway company to erect a ear
barn at Tenth and Dorcas street. This
land Is tbe site of th old Goodman home
and It la th desire of the manager of
the hospital to acquire the land, which
joins the hospital ground on the north,
with the object of using the bouse as a
horn for aged persons. The purchase of
the land by the street car company came
aa somewhat of a surprise to the sister.
Further objections to the presence of
the car barn at that place la based on the
belief that the noise of moving cars prac
tically at all hours win be disquieting to
the patients at the hospital.
It has been suggested that the street
railway company sell the Tenth street
ground to the sisters and buy a site for a
barn on Thirteenth street, where, by ex
tending th Dodge street T two blocks,
cars from the Farnam, Harney and Dodge
lines, as well as from the Walnut Hill and
Albright line could be housed.
The other matter to be considered Is
plan to secure the extension of the Famam
street car line to ths entrance of River
view park.

CHILD LABOR LAW AT WORK
New Ststate Csaspela Parkers ts Dis
charge Large XsmKers sf
Children.
South Omaha packing houses are begin
ning to feel the effect of the child labor
law and the managers are now taking
steps to enforce It strictly. Wednesday
about twenty boys were dismissed from
on house and others are getting rid of
them as fast aa possible.
There is a misunderstanding In some
quarters regarding the terms of the law
and even some of the officials charged with
Its enforcement are not fully advised to It
Intent. However. It Is understood that
under no circumstance, at no time of the
year, can children under 14 years of age
work In packing houses and only those
between 14 and It years old who have
passed the Eighth grade In the public
schools.
The hours prescribed by the law cause
really more trouble for employer who de
sir to use child labor than other term,
for while It Is easy to make some deter
mination aa to age and condition It ia
more difficult to change working hour of
factories No child may be employed more
than eight hour a day. Houses employing
them generally operate on a nine or ten
hour basis and children most therefore be
dismissed from on to two hours ahead
of th other employee, when perhaps the
most Important work desired of the boys
Is before and after the hour of work for
th men.
To the friends and relative of the late
Edward Woods: We desire to express our
most heartfelt sympathy In tbe sad loas
of friend and fellow workman. Mr. Ed
ward Woods, who died Tuesday noon from
Injuries received from a bicycle accident.
Mr. Woods waa a favored friend by all
who knew htm and will be greatly missed
by the employes of ths Omaha Gaa com
pany. Sincerely,

BURIAL BILLS ARE TOO HIGH
Jadgs Leslie Reads Leetart from
Beach to l adertakera Was Over
rharars Poor Peres as.
County Judge Leslie read a lecture Wed
nesday to undertakers, who make excessive
charge for burying people with little prop
erty. Two or three cases have come up re
cently In which funeral bills have been
greatly reduced by the court. "One of these
Instances waa that of an old man who died
at the county hospital and who had been
a charge upon the county for some time
It was found after his death he had $300 or
IV In the bank. The undertaker's bill was
trk" Judge Leslie cut It down to half that
amount and reprimanded the undertakers
for charging such an amount. Wednesday
tbe same firm brought In a bill for t2i. for !
burying a small boy who had been left
COO by his father a year or two ago. Judge
Leslie reduced this bill to r.50 nd repeated
his admonition that excessive bills would
be slashed In the settlement of the estate.
He declared the bill In the latter case to
be out of all reason.
