Till: IIEK: OMAHA, Fill DAY, DECKMBKi: 17, 1015. ByMELLIFICIA. Thursday, December 16, 1915. THIS seems the age of the safe-and-sane la all things, even festivals, with the safeness for the Fourth of July and the eaneness for Christmas. You euner Kive an arusuc cam, wiuoui inugo or Byiuiuv, but correct In script and chaste in design. If not a card, something that can be of use, Jewelry, of course, always considered. In the gift displays of the shops this season, foremost are taffeta silk umbrellas, linen handkerchiefs with daintily embroidered designs, envelope bags of seal leather, hand bags of striped silk moire, fancy hairpins, filled stationery cabinets, thread Bilk and novelty silk hosiery. Angora worsted caps and skating Bcarrs and sweat ers In Copenhagen blue, old rose and purple. Perhaps the gift handkerchiefs, the salesfolk call them "moucholra" In New York this year, are among the daintiest of exhibits. Handkerchiefs at Christina are like stiver teaspoons for a wedding they are safe and wel comed always. The glove handkerchief Is a great favorite, Maderia em broidered, with the scallop rivaling the hemstitched edge. Bijouterie, we call it Jewelry In Omaha, shows delicate modeling, fragile form. There are pendants, "French necklets," "La Vallleres," and many replicas of fine old brooches. The day, too, has come when a young chap may buy his fiancee a trinket without going into, debt for a diamond, a pearl or ruby. Stones are prized for their beauty, not their cost, and no young man may be afraid to give the lady of his choice a setting of ame thyst, sapphire or Jet (South American). Lapis laxull, Jade, Jet, coral and topai are in equally good taste. Tomorrow, perhaps, I'll have something to say of the gifts that may be sent to boys and men. of the bride snd bridegroom.

This Is the news brought I flck by a federal officer who recently visited the national capital. "The attorney general doesn't contem plate making a recommendation before the Christmas holldaya." said this man. "and the president wilt take no action until after the first of the new year." It la said that the race has narrowed Hnm-n f A J. 3 Thnlni. Rnvard W T T j Thompson of Grand Island and J. W. Woodrough of Omaha. It Is said, fur ther, that the department la determined to t-ec-immcnd no man over SO years of age, which would eliminate Judge Thomp son by a small margin.
