C0IVrP0NENTS0F TROUSSEAUS
.Some of the Costumes that Are Xrrrt
I aary to the Average
Bride.
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

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

"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.

After the announcement of the commlt
teea several communications were read and
referred. A motion prevailed that all' sus
pended members could rejoin the associa
tion by the payment of nrrearages of dues
and such suspended members wore urged
to do so at this convention, otherwise they
would be barred from affiliating with tho
association for another year. This recom
mendation was based upon the recognised
status of the association throuch recent
legislative action by the Nebraska legisla
ture In giving the association a legal stand
ing In the state. ,
Secretary Brown read the full text of the
law governing the business of undertaking
and embalming for the Information of the
association. ,-
The morning session closed with a brief
address iy Prof. W. P. Hahenschuh of
Iowa City,' la., one of the foremost em
balming experts In the country. This talk
waa in the nature of a greeting to the as
sociation, and not as a lecture.
Solemn Nature of Calling.
- At the opening of the afternoon session
Prof. Hohenschuh delivered a brief lecture
on embalming, treating of the subject' In
Us various phases, and largely from a
scientific point of view.
Following his address came the report
of the membership committee, upon the
admission of a class of thirty-three mem
bers. The class took a position, tn front
of the president and listened t( an address
by Prof. Hohenschuh upon the responsi
bility attaching to a membership In this
organisation and the duty each member
owed to his profession and to the associa
tion. The business of undertaking had
ceased to be the simple vocation of bury
ing the dead, but Included with this sol
emn function that of the highest sanitary
science and brought the profession very
closely in touch with that of the physician,
the minister and of a comforter to be
reaved relatives.
Secretary Brown, one of the lodeat under
takers In the state, also addressed the
class briefly and he was fallowed by Pres
ident Bwanson with a few remarks. - The
new members were then welcomed Into the
association, entered their names upon the
registers, signed the constitution and by
laws and were thereupon declared full
fledged members.
Following this ceremony the reports of
the several officers wVre submitted ' and
referred to the appropriate committees and
an adjournment was taken to Wednesday
