WHITE ENAMEL BEDSTEADS They Are Vory Desirable, If Plala, No Matter How Cheap They Are. The chespest of white-enamel' bedsteads may be made attractive with dainty and at the same time Inexpensive trappings. If one Is only wise enough to select a bed stead with simple graceful lines and one In which the expense lies In the quality of the enamel used Instead of In brass orna ments, the reward will be great. The plain, graceful white-enamel bedsteads minus brass knobs and scrolls, minus scrolls of all kinds, just heavy enough to be firm and practicable without being clumsy, are both sanitary and pretty In a dainty, light bed room. Combined with white-enamel furniture nothing could be prettier. If one wishes to have the rest of the furniture painted light delicate gray, lavender, pale green, ete., and artistically stencilled, the bed may be made to match. Unless soma definite color scheme of this kind Is to be carried out throughout the rooio. however, It is better to have a plain white bedstead than a colored one. WOMAN FASHIONABLE SAVAGE Demands Floatage Adornment at Ei. ense of Extermination of Beaatlfal Bird. A sign of returning prosperity Is the In creased cost of ostrich plumes and aigrettes. Women are beginning to spend freely again, and plumes have Increased a per cent In price within the last two months. The woman who prides herself upon sxclusiveness just now affects ths egret plumage, which Is being shown in rarely beautiful specimens. The demsnd of fashion for egret la leading to the de struction of this moat beautiful of all the heron family.

SALE GJO' STARTS FRIDAY OMAHA'S LEADING CLOTHIERS. stop to think of the cruelty they practice. The heron Is unfortunate In that Imitations are not made easily, and are recognised by even the untrained eye. The plumage of the heron Is so brilliant in its con trasts of coloring that lt-lerirs successful imitation. Thus by Its own beauty this branch of the feathered tribe is doomed. There is no mercy in women where fash ion Is involved, and dealers are looking to a day when the egret will pass entirely from the market. WILLING TO GO TO NEW YORK Disappointment Comes to All. Even to Those vrtth Money to Barn. A tip has been passed to rest estate men of Pittsburg that Clayton, the magnlflcVnt Pittsburg home of H. C. Frlck, on Home wood avenue. Is for sale If the right price can be obtained, that the steel king Is de sirous of quitting this city forever, so far as his family Is concerned. According to those close to society Mr. Frlck Is angry at the lack of Interest which was shown In the coming-out party of his daughter Helen here aome time ago, and he has de cided that hereafter hla family will take chances In New York or Europe only. Only fifteen young men, scarcely enough to per form the figures of the dances, were In at tendance at the big coming-out party at Clayton, according to some of those who attended. This Is where Mr. Frlck Is said to have risen in anger and declared him self, since his daughter had come all the way from New Tork to open the home here. When a member of the Frlck house hold slammed the door of Clayton in the face of a local society writer, who had gone there to give the social world a true picture of the party preparations, the fight between the Frlck s and the social world was on, for the society writer had many friends. Mr. Frlck further aggravated matters by declaring that the public had no business gaslng on the picture of his daughter and he ordered that her picture be not printed. EMBROIDERY WILL LEAD Dainty Lingerie Models Illustrate limner Styles as Far as Are Known. Indications are that we are to have a great embroidery summer, and embrold dered bands of great beyuty are to be had in all widths, some of them shewing fine and delicate embroidery designs or plain batiste or mull, the material being left with rough edges and meant to be used in such fashion that the embroidery will have the air of having been executed to order for the fnock. The dainty lingerie frock of the group Illustrates the use of such bands, and while distinctly chic and emanating from a well known designer, owes its success to fineness of materials and simplicity rather than to elaborate and complicated design. It might bo easily copied, and though it has the short waist line of the winter modes. It haa a quaint charm which should make It acceptable next summer, even If the waist line of most models shall have crept down to Its normal place. A form of compromise much affected In these new module Includes a lowered waist line but keeps the loose fitting straightness, the result being a aemt-flttlng princess ef fect, suggesting the natural curves of ths figure but not defining them. Thus, If the short waist should be out of styls, thu model will pass muster; and yat. If pres ent lines retain their prestige the loose straightness will offset the lengthened waist. Baked apples.

BUT EXCUSES DEMOCRATIC ACTION Instead of Blamtaa; His Admlnlstrn tlon, Sopposed to Be Condaetlna; City's A flairs. Ho Lays it on Legislators. Mayor Dahlman ssys It "does seem kind of foolish" to vote bonds for the erection of a fire engine house in the vicinity of Twenty-fourth and Ames avenue when the city has not the money to equip some of the houses It now has, but excuses the nonequlpment as no fault of the present democratic admlnlatrstlon. The blame la thrown upon the legislature In not giving the city the right to appropriate larger amounts for the use of the fire department. "The new charter as proposed con templates raising the fire fund from $175, 00 to 1125,000, " said the mayor, "and If this Is done then It will be possible to buy equipment which is needed. The fund ought to be raised to S250.000, but the 160,000 raise will be a help. "If the charter amendment Is adopted, the increase will enaNe us to equip the Lake street house, which has stood empty since Its completion last July and we may be able to buy equipment for the proposed house above Ames avenue. The city of Omaha certainly needs more fire engine bouses and more and be'tter equipment for the department, but our hands are tied in a measure by legislative enactment," Jast Throws I p His Hands. vThe mayor washed his hands of any connection with tjie depositing of city funds, which cost the city 4Vi per cent Interest, In the banks at 1 per cent Interest. Ha said he did not have the handling of the funds, knew nothing of It and declined to answer the question: "What are we going to do about It?" Mayor Dahlman favors the buying of a site in the business section of the city and the erection of a modern central fire house to taks the place of engine house No. 3, which occupies rented quarters at Eighteenth and Harney streets. Itont In the sum ef i,9U0 a year Is paid for this property, but the first move the demo cratic city council has msde to secure a home of Its own for the central fire sta tion was in the meeting of the committee of the whole Monday afternoon, when a proposition of purchase was made to own ers of a portion of a lot at Nineteenth and Harney streets. The owners of tbe part lot, the Warsau Hall association, wanted to buy the other part of the lot held by the city and the councllmen made a prop osition to either buy or sell. The state ment was then made that If the city bought the other part of the lot a central fire engine house would be erected thereon. An Active Salesman A Bee Want Ad. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS Ben T.
