DOING UP CHRISTMAS GIFTS
Small Decorated Seals Hart Takes
the Place of the lied
Rlbhon.
A nice way of doing up gifts which will
please aU. and particularly delight the chil
dren, is to use white tissue paper for wrap
pers, and. Instead uf tlng with ribbon,
fast Its paper la place by usla am all
sesls over the eilpcs where they are fnMfl
down. The seals come specially for the
purpose and are decorated with tiny spraye
of holly. If you are sending oft a Christmas
box put a layer of white tissue paper or
white cotton on top of the packages, and
over this sprigs of holly or mistletoe.
SOME LOVELY STAGE GOWNS
Klahoratety Trimmed Traveling- Crea
tions Only Practical Before
Footlights.
Bechoff-Davld are responsible for two
lovely frocks worn. In "L'Eventall." both
of which are pictured In the cut. One was
a robe of mousseline de sole, bleu del,
flnlihed with several nuns' pluits at the
EMBROIDERED FILET. A SECOND
COAT OF GRAY AND BLUE TL'LLE
E OF ATLANTIC! TU.I'R SiTIM WITH

bottom and worn under a paletot of tulle
and lace In gray embroidered with bleu
del.
This paletot sloped sharply away In the
front and was trimmed around the big
armholss and the neck with galon of del
mousseline heavily embroidered in gray
pearls.
The second coat costume, effectively worn
by Marcelle Lender, was In raspberry
cloth of the most supple and glossy kind,
with a semi-loose paletot of niet net heavily
embroldreed in great roses.
Another stage gown much praised and
emanating from Drecoll had a coat of
rather heavy lace dyed to a soft green.
This was worn over a corsage and skirt
of fine white net inset to a considerable
depth around the bottom with green lace
like that of the coat.
The third model of the coat frock sketch
does not belong to the stage costume group,
but hails from the same maker and was
Imported by a Twenty-third street firm. It
is built up of one of the very lightweight
supple satins In a soft blue that has not
enough green in It to be called Atlantic,
yet has a dash of gray green separating It
from the pastel and Nattier tones. The
blues are myriad and as lovely as they are
numerous this season.
Down the middle front of the clinging
skirt are set tiny prlmbons made of narrow
silk lustre braid In three shades of blue,
the lightest being the shade of the satin.
The coat Is of filet net and embroidered
In self-colors and the long tassels which
ornament It are dyed in the three shades
of the bows, shading from dark to light.
A clever arrangement of Alecon lace
Jabot and black satin cravat fills In the

SELECTING GIFTS FOR MEN
Thlacs Vrrtrlns; on Kitravaiinre or
Intimate" Privilege Only for
Knaaged Girls.
As an example of this unwritten law,
unless a young woman la engaged, it Is not
proper that she shall make any gift that
verges either on being expensive or what
might be culled "Intimate." By the latter
Is meant such personal presents as a mem
ber of a man's own family might choose
for hloi. Eliminating these two kinds, there
Is still a wide range and .opportunity for
expressing In them thought and liking for
the recipient.
There is no objection to selecting an ar
ticle for a man'a room, always provided
that the gift is not elaborate. In deciding
whether or not It Is suitable a girl may
be helped to know by remembering that
presents to a man friend should express
meiely a thought-the gift being an out
ward and visible sign of good will and
not such as might make him feel under
obligation.
It Is because books fulfill all these re
quirements so perfectly that they are al
ways in demand at holiday time, and If
a girl knows the kind a man likes she
cannot get anything more appropriate.
There Is. h'wever, more Intrinsic vaus
In a gift that one makes. A sofa cushion,
for Instance, is always pretty, and fre
quently does not take much time for the
making. In constructing one It la well to
select a covering that is not too dainty
to be practical, and of the great variety
of different fabrics soft leather la the beat.
Any kind of desk or writing table orna
ment may be on the list of suitable thlrga,
but nothing for a dressing stand. A gam
or any article used. In connection, such aa
s bridge Set or golf bag, cannot be criti
cised. If the recipient Wias any faculty for
aketchlng or painting some of the drawing
materials used would be acceptable.
Jewelry should be given only when a
girl Is engaged to the man. Even the sim

Seventy-Two Million Dollars Krery
Tear, He Asserts, Would Be
Kept In the United
State.
The postal savings bank system; when
established In this country, will prevent to
a large extent IT2.000.OOn being sent to the
postal savings banks of Europe, ns was
done last year: will give the depositors 2
per cent on deposits when they are now
buying money di-.lers which pay no inter
est. and keep the savings of the people In
circulation In the communities In which
the money Is deposited, as the postmaster
general's recommendation provides tnai
the postmasters deposit dally In the na
tional banks."
This was the declaration of Postmaster
Palmer, who addressed the Omaha Real
Estate exchange Wednesday on the subject
of postal savings banks. Captain Palmer
read the full recommendation of the post
master general for establishing a system of
postal savings banks and explained the
money would not be withdrawn from circu
lation and the national banks would not be
required to put up bonds to secure the
deposits, as the postofflcea are preferred
creditors, and under the system outlined the
money would be In circulation almost tho
next day after it was deposited. Following
this statement. Captain Palmer read a
number of Instances which have come to
his notice In the Omaha postofflcea since
the financial flurry.
Disc Money Order Bnslnesa.
"Since November 1 the amount of money
orders and treasury warrants we have
Issued and secured for those who desired
to take, their money from the banks has
greatly Increased." ho said. "During the
month of November special deposit orders
payable to the depositors amounted to
J34.M2, while the deposits for the first half
of 'December amounted to $'J0.141."
Speaking of other Instances of the desire
of people to keep their money with their
"Uncle Sam." Captain Palmer said:
"When a good American citizen desired
to buy property In Omaha the other day
he turned over in payment 11,100 in
money orders and $4,000 In postofflce
warrants, all being a part of his savings
since 1901.
"Another prominent case. An old' end
respected name in the city. American-born
with English name, has deposited in the
Omaha postofflce since 1SH1 and on May 6
of this year certified applications for
treasury warrants to the amount of
$2,300.
There are numerous persons who de
posit from $100 to $1,000 each year with
the postofflce. A man who has been
working at the expositions in Buffalo, St.
Louis and Portland sent his money here
to secure postofflce money orders payable
at the Omaha postofflce. November 9
we certified his application for warrants
amounting to $900 and he had $500 In
money orders besides. Within a week or
two an Austrian oame Into the office with
five money ordeta for $100 each and se
cured the money to put into a home."
Losses from. Small Banks.
Following the talk by Captain Palmer,
II. B. Payne, a member of the firm of
Payne, Bostwlck Co., read a paper pie
prcpared by Fre V. Shotwell favoring
the postal savings .banks. The paper paid
special attention to the great losses to the
people through failure of small banks. It
said In part: .
From 1W5 to 190& over 1,717 banks other
than national banks failed, and the loss tc
the depositors was more than $?uo,00J.OiX, i
sum which would go a long way toward
paying for the construction of the Panama
canal, or which could now be used to a
good advantage In Improving our Internal
waterways. The average number of fail
ures from 18T6 to 1K96 waa 41 a year and
from 1K97 to 19"i6, both Inclusive, S17 banks,
other than national banks, failed, with lia
bilities of more than $123,361,000.
The interest paid on postal savings de
posits Is per cent in France. The French
legislature, recognising the advantage the
potftal savings bunk would have over
the other-savings banks on account of the
confidence of the people In the government,
provided that the rate of Interest paid by
the postal savings barks shall1 be less at
all times than the rate puld by other in
stitutions. Now, the average rate of Interest paid
on savings deposlta in the United States
is $.5o per cent. The plan recommended by
the postmaster general eontemplat-s th
payment of 2 per cent on deposits, and II
that rate were adopted, the private savings
banks would rave an advantage or over l
Tr rent, which should be sufficient to at
tract a largo majority of depositors. There
are a great many people in tins country,
chiefly among the foreign bom. who will
not deoosit In private savings banks and
for that reason a large sum of money is
kept from circulation.
No Action la Taken.
After listening addresses by O. G.
Wallace, who favored the establishment of
postal savings banks, ajd O. M. Nattlnger,
who opposed tho system on the ground
the savings and loan associations now or
ganized are necessary to the progress of
a new and growing community which Is
constantly adding to Its number of homes
and business houses, the Real Estate ex
change passed the question until the next
meeting.
Chancea are good for a heated argument
at the next meeting of the exchange, a
motion to adjourn being made Wednesday
when several speakers were jumping to
their feet to be heard.
BEEF DISPLAY SUPPRESSED
Bis; Kxhlbltlon , oa Sixteenth Street
Prehlbted by Chief of
Police.
A meat display In front of a Sixteenth
street store created considerable activity
at the city hall Wednesday morning. Offi
cers of the Health department had Just

sage carried complalnV of the display, which
consisted of a carload of quarters of
prime beef hinds on a frame along the
curb. The health officers professed to bn
free from the imputation f enforcing the
general ordinances of the city, and refer

fas not in his office and the mayor, who
waa also anted, waa not at hla desk. A
policeman ordered the display removed,
but the proprietor of the mat decided to

In Tabalatla Farts Anoat
Omaha
A movement has been Inaugurated for
the creation of the office of dty statisti
cian. Such officer would be expected to
secure and reduce to proper form all facts
and figures with reference ts the work of
tne various departments or tho city,
showing, among other things, the extent
or putnc improvements, their cost and
style; the work of the police and fire de
partments, with their cost, and the work
of the various offices. In addition he
would secure and tabulate other facts re
garding the city's business and develop
ment, similar offices are maintained In
other towns of the stxe of Omaha and the
suggestion meets with favor In official
circles.
In this connection the city engineer
complains of the Inability of his depart
ment learning or tne work of other towns
because Omaha has failed to publish an
nual reports, and towns which do publish
sucn. reports ao not send them to Omaha,
as this city has nothino- to offer in
change. Reports were published annually
lor many years preceding 1894. but slnfe
then none has been published in full, al
though the comptroller has Issued a sum
mary of reports for two years.
It Is alleged that even the reports re
quired by law to be published have 1 een
neglected, that of the comptroller for ISO
not having been printed as required by
law.

county surveyor Beal Is anxious to hv
the county try the experiment of putting

of the road. The cost would not be much
greater than macadam because of the
smaller amount of stone used and the

FURS AS AN INVESTMENT
Safe Proposition Because of Heavy
Advance in Price.
OMAHA IS A CENTRAL MARKET
Local Stores Draw Customers from
All Sides. Who Have Learned
that This City Is a Main
For Depot.
Furs as an Investment Instead of bonds
and securities; muffs Instead of diamonds,
Jackets In the place of city lots and fur
capes rather than money In the banks.
This threatens to be the latest wrinkle
in sane finance, and as well as buying the
fur clothing for Christmas presents the In
vestment is permanent and declared to be
safe. Almost every large store In the city
Is selling furs "at cost" to offset the effect
of cut-price sales by dealers in Job lots and
goods made from the pieces of skins.
That furs are a good Investment was
demonstrated when an Omaha woman who
became tired of her mink coat and needed
the money offered to sell It.
"I paid $200 for the coat In my more pros
perous days," said the woman, "but I want
to sell It now if It Is worth anything to
you."
Tho reliable furrier took the coat and
looked at It. "You pafd $200 for It, did
you? Now you want to sell It. How
much?'
Hesitating a moment, the woman ald:
"I have worn It almost nine winters. What
Is It worth now?"
"Eight hundred dollars. If It is worth a
cent." J
"Oh, Is It?" the woman almost shrjekod.
"Yes. It la worth 800. I don't want to
buy It H-om you for that, nor for $400, but
you betVr tako It home. You have one of
the moK'l valuable mink coata in all Omaha
and it vjiuld be a shame to soil It."
"I would not sell It anyway. I don't need
tho money. And I never get tired of mink,'
said the woman, putting the coat back into
tho well-worn box.
"That is Just the way with some people,"
said the furrier. "Thev don't know how
valuable their old and well kept furs
are. That out is really worth $S00. It
would be hard to get that much, still It
could be ripped apart and made over to
fit another woman and with new lining
would be sold for $600 to SS00. The skins
are perfectly matched. The woman has
made $000 on her investment If she has
mad g cent." 1
Furs are high and are advancing in price,
like diamonds and Omaha real estate.
Dealers say they see no chance for them to
decrease In value and those bought from re
liable dealers never wear out or rip apart
where the sklna are sewed. Mink Is es
pecially desirable- and valuable.
"Because the furs In the store windows
are marked down during the holidays this
year does not signify they will be lower,"
said the dealer. "The merchants have be
come tired of the cheap stun which Is sold
to their customers for good prices and have
been selling reliable furs for cost or less
than cost. Buying furs' is like buying
many other things. There are furs and
furs. Some of them are not worth carry:ng
home and the greatest care should be used
la their selection."
Omaha has become headquarters In the
west for reliable furs. Dealers here sup
ply the best trade between the Missouri
river and the Rocky mountains and receive
orders from cities and towns in the far
west. The retail business in Omaha does
not amount to over from 6 to 10 per cent
of the business the dealers do each winter.
