When It cornea to the question of the bride's trousseau so much latitude Is al lowed that no two women will make- tho same choice. The choice must, of course, be regulated by the amount of money to be spent and the requirements of the so cial position In which the bride will And herself, -but for the average woman that Is, for the woman of moderate Income and position, the woman who dresses well but not extravagantly certain general outlines for a trousseau may be readily suggested. The bride should have one well made tailored coat and street frock. If she can ' ' MARCJUI8ETTK. . afford two such frocks, one severely plain and the other a dressier French version of tha tailor made, so much the better, but for a summer outfit the two wool coat and skirt frocks are not actually necessary and a skirt and bodloe arrangement of sheer voile, marquisette or other lightweight ma terial, accompaned by a silk coat that may perhaps do duty with other frocks as well, will be foiyid more useful than a second tailored coat and skirt. ' A three-piece visiting gown In light color and rather elaborate design Is an Important trousseau Item, though here again one may possibly prefer a dressy bodice' and skirt frock with a handsome separate ooat. Three-piece models in all grades of ele gance are plentiful this season and many such models have already been pictured. Marquisette or sheer chiffon voile Is a modish and practical choice ffbr such a frpek, and the coat may be of the same material or of silk. Many of these cos tumes are made In tussore or other silk with a blouse or bodice composed chiefly of net or lace, but nothing wears better for the purpose than a fine sheer all wool VO'.'.T.. One of the cuts pictures a frock of the type under discussion built up in white chiffon voile and filet net of the same tone of white. The skirt had a wide band of the filet bordered by deep bands of hand some guipure, and the gleam of the palest pink silk lining veiled . by one layer of chiffon showed slightly through the open net i Tha loose little ooat waa trimmed In guipure and, as will be seen in the sketch, the transparent fllet was cleverly Intro duced In the sides of the ooat, while skil fully applied motifs of guipure covered the line of union between net and voile. The blouse was of net and guipure and Valen ciennes, with touches of the faintest pink at the throat and girdle top. The Lk Wrap. Although the lace was of expensive qual ity, this frock was not of the extravagantly costly claas, owing to the absence of elab orate hand work. The original model from which It was copied was tn linen, but the copy Is more charming than the original. and tha tint given by the very pale pink VOILEX F1L.I.T AND QUIPURB. Itnlng under the sheer white, a tint which seems more like, a faint glow than a color, la extremely attractive. - . . A laoe coat with a lace-trimmed bodice I and skirt of marquisette, chiffon, silk moua- sellne or chiffon wlf Is greatly liked, and a good laoe coat tqugh necessarily ex pensive, may be used tor a variety of pur pose, and with almt Any dainty igmnwf gown. The Importer bare brought over countless picturesque coats of this sort, and Incidentally It may be noted that some of these coats have been marked down to tempting prices In the sales through which exclusive shops .clear the stock after their season Is over and their fashionable patrons have left town. If however, one cannot af ford to buy a lace coat of really good quality It Is far better to abandon the Idea altogether. " Water aa a Nerve Tonle. "If nervous women would only drink more water they would not be so nervous," remarked a trained nurse the other day. "Nearly every physician will recommend a woman who Is suffering from nervous prostration or nervoua exhaustion to drink lots of water between meals, but many women who do not come under a doctor's care would feel better and look better if they would drink, say, a quart of water In the course of a day. Water Is a nerve food. It has a distinctly soothing effect when sipped gradually, as one can teat for herself." SAMSON'S ARMY IS GROWING Many Reeralts Pass Master anal " Their Names oa the Pay Rail. Get Samson's army waa Increased by a large number of enlistments last night, tha re cruits being an especially fine lot. In pass ing the physical examination and tests be fore being placed on the payroll, several of the aspirants for military honors found that the road Is not altogether a simple one, but they made the rlflle all light, and were taken to the front and sworn In as fighting men. After the ceremony of enlistment had been passed, Mufti Bennett presided at the exercises, and Introduced a number of speakers. Dr. C. H. Wagner of Minne apolis was among the list, and spok In warm terms of the Institution and Its ef forts. He praised the Omaha spirit and ho said the work that Is being done by Ak-Sar-Ben Is worthy of the highest praise as being an Important factor In the social and commercial life of Omaha. J. G. Stark of Elmwood, a banker, who has a 'high regard for the king and his followers, also lifted up his voice In commendation of the order. Judge Ben S. Baker waa the laat speaker, and poured forth his praise and counsel In eloquent sentences. R. V. Cole of the Cole-McKay company announced the coming of the atate under takers to Omaha for the purposes of u convention this week, and It was decided that the enlisting station will be open on Thursday night that tha funeral directors of the state may have a chance to get into the army. The examination will begin at 7:39 sharp. Postmaster Palmer announced the coming of the Iowa and Nebraska postmasters on June 20, which will be a Wednesday, and It was determined to give them a chance to pass muster If possible and fight for the king. FIGHT OVER SALOON LICENSE Protest Made Against Traasfer of Location by A. 13. ' Wylle. n Almost the entire session of the Fire and Police board meeting Mouday night was taken up In the discussion of the matter of th application for the transfer of the saloon license of A. E. Wylle from 1513 to 1017 Farnam street. T. A. Brogan ap peared for the protestants against the transfer of the license, they being tha Myers-Dillon Drug company, Lwls Hen derson, florist, and the Walkover Shoe com pany. The protest was based on the ground that the business of the protestants would be Injured by the proximity of the pro posed saloon, and on the further ground that the license as originally Issued was Illegal and that It Is now owned and con trolled by the' Walter Molne Liquor com pany and the Willow Springs Brewing com pany, and not by A. E. Wylle, the latter having sold his business In January last to II. V. Hayward and transferred the license to Hayward. that the saloon might be operated by the Molso company, of which Hayward waa a partner. W. J. Con hell appeared for A. E. Wylle and I. Q. Dunn for Molse & HaywaTd. Several witnesses were examined and the case was submitted on argument. The board retired for half an hour and then announced that It would not decide upon the matter until next Monday evening. The resignation of W. A. Morrow from the Ore department was accepted and sev eral leaves of absence were granted to firemen. Owing to the lateness of the hour the board took an adjournment until 1:45 Tues day to pass upon certain current bills and communications. CURFEW LAW- TO BE REVIVED Association to Call Attention of Fire and Police Comntlaalon to It. The Curfew association of Omaha held a meeting Monday night In the assembly room of the Young Women's Christian asso ciation building, at which Alexander Hoge land, president of the National Curfew association, was present W. McCormack presided and L. R. Smith acted as secre tary. Rev. Joseph B. Cherry of the Third Pres byterian church addressed the meeting. He thought the churches and the parents were not doing what they ahould to provide tha ' Hgtit sort of amusement for boys In the evening-. -"My church," he said, "is fixing up the basement aa a plaoe where the boys can come at night and pass a pleasant evening. I believe the best way to keep tha boys off the streets at night la to pro vide a place for them to go and enjoy themselves." ' Other speeches were made, and It was the general opinion that the curfew law la not being enforced In Omaha aa It should be. A resolution was passed which the secre tary waa Instructed to forward to the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners, asking them to co-operate in all possible ways to secure a better enforcement of the cur few law. YOUTH STARTS ON WRONG FOOT Nebraska City Boy Makee Mesa Try. lac to Play the Detec tive Game. "You started out with the wrong foot when you got Into this town. Next time see that you step out with the right one." Such waa Judge Crawford's parting ad' vice to jesse uoiasmitn, a young man from Nebraska City, who was arrested early Monday morning at Union station, where a policeman picked htm up for try ing to pass himself off for a detective. A tin badge was found en bla breast corrob orating his verbal assertion that he was a "really, truly" fly cop. but tha policeman thought that It required more than a mere piece of tin to make a plain clothes man. Toung Goldsmith had explained that he just struck town and would be only too glad to be given a chance to get right out again. His honor gave him the chance.
