THERE Is a distressing rumor afloat. It hints that, with the return
to the styles of 1830, the little girls will be dresmd In exactly the
same modes as the mothers.
It may have been all very well to have dressed the girls of
1830 as adults, but one trembles to think of the children of today, with
ttielr training to Individuality, given this footing with their elders. With
Ihe- bit between their teeth regarding fashions, what If they would take it
to hand to announce their own romlngs-out, presenting themselves and
lurrying their social careers in other ways.
The little girl of the first half of the last century was a very different
feminine creation from the little girl of today, and ahe wore her mother's
Vshlons as a mere echo of the mother.
The girls today show no echo tendencies they are loaders.
Again, does every mother Just fancy the idea of dressing her daughter
to look as old as possible?
There are two very good reasons that the atyle wl'.l die an early death.

Omaha's Woman Attorney a Suff,
But She Wants Men Clients, Too
Much burning of the midnight oil -.as

the person of Mrs. Ktrlla B. Wlleon. She
has Jut been sdmltted to the bar by the
Nebraska stipreme court end will "hong
out her shingle" as soon ss she secures
sn office.
Most of Mrs. Wllrnn's study has been
don st nlrht. During the last three
years while her friends and acquaintances
were attending thesters. dances or par
ties, playing cards or seeking ot ler
amusements. Omaha's prospective women
lawyer was attending Crelghton nUht

received and what Is barred In court

summer Mrs. Wilson spent atten'Vng lam
school at Ann Arbor, Mich.
Mrs. Wllnon hss alwsys believed, she
declares, that a wemsn should have a
profesaion by which she msy earn ier
own living if necessary. After the death
of her husband severs! yesrs sgo and the
ensuing disarrangement of her plans she
secured employment at the court house,
She became Intere.ted In legal questions

In an attorney's office for a time, then
entered night school.
Mrs. Wilson Is a suffrsglst, but takes
that doctrine aa a matter of course and
doern't believe that she has done any
thing astonlehlng In becoming a lawyer.
"Any business woman la bound to be a
suffragist. - Mrs. Wilson said In neply to
a Question.
"A woman Is Just ss cspable of be
coming a lawyer as a man." declared
Omaha's modern Portia. ' Women are

there Is no reason why they should not
