OMAHA CLUB DINNER-DANCE
. By MEI.MFICI Marrh T.
H U Mardl Orta.
One can't but think, when writing of
balls this morning, of the affntrscKlven
tonight In the farther southern cities of
our country and wish that the west
might follow suit, shaking off great
unnecessary load of Anlo-Saxon super
dlgnlty. The American towns which had
a Latin flnirrr In their making all go
hack to childhood today uproariously,
playfuly and absolutely merry. When
the hell strikes twelve the street are
full of maskers, with half the small
boys of the town appearing as ballerinas,
with tarlatan skirts and their mothers'
best evening stocking stolen for the oc
casion). In lieu of fleshings.
It Is essentially a boys' day and gives
them enough excitement 'and outlet to Im?
perfectly good confirmation class stu
dents for the whole period of Lent.
The Omaha club set the dare for Its
last dinner-dance of the aesson very ap
propriately on Mlmll Graa. A feature of
the evening will be the parties bf diners.

to present congested trafflo condi

sequent delay of a number of car
load shipments that are enroute and
which Is necessary to complete our
opening stock, An entirely new and
carefully selected stock auch . as this
store Is opening up takea time that
Is not easy to figure at the OUTSET,
there being so many pieces of special
design that are not classed among the
more staple, productions of the factor
ies which cannot be hurried from the
hands of the makers. ' '
This ANNOUNCEMENT, however.
Is approaching a nearness that you
may leekon as Juat a day of two

Hairy Growths Appear
(Modes of Today.)'
A smooth, hairless skin always follows
the use of a paste mado by mixing some
water, with plain powdered delatone. This
paste Is applied to the hairy surface. 2
or 3 minutes, then rubbed off and the
skin washed, when every trace of hair
will have vanished. No pain or discom
fort attends the use of the delatone
paste, but caution should be exercised to
be sure that you get real delatone. Ad

SAYS STATE IS GOING ' DRY
"It's clear and sparkling. It looks In

A F'.ee reporter who Joined a group of
local temperance women gathered around
the national president. Miss Anna Adams
Oordon, at tho Hotel Fontenelle, wa
perfectly aghast for a moment until Miss
Oordon continued, "it's a harmless drink
it's logan berry Juire," In the manufac
ture of which mnny breweries have en
gagid since their states have gone dry.
The manufacture of Ice cream, malted
milk and other soft drinks, and the con
version of breweries Into cold storage
plants, ice houses and potteries have
followed In the wake of prohibition In
other states, according to Miss Gordon.
Moving picture studios, too, will abound
In Omaha If Nebraska goes dry and fol
lows the example of other localities.
"Since thero are fifteen breweries and
distilleries here, the city promises to be
alive with cowboys, Indians, "vampire"
women, bad men. westerners and other
characters, dear to the hearts of movie
fans." ventured one women.
"These moving pictures are a better
grade, loo. than the disiy 'moving ptc

Miss Gordon with a merry twinkle In
her eye.

"Because science, big business and Iha
church advocate prohibition, we expect
nation-wide prohibition within the next
ten years, it's bound to come when tin
business men want it," she ssid. "Sub
stitutes for saloons In the form of com
fort stations, tending rooms, eoftce
houses end social centers are being ad
vocated by the Women's Christian Tem
perance union."
"I believe Nebraska Is going dry for
these reasons:
1. Out of 7,000 square miles, 63,000 Is
already under prohibition.
2. There are 00,000 more people living
under prohibition than In the lli-ensed
section.
3. Your stste motto is "Progress." Tou
must he true to It.
4. Nebraska will have to come in under
the national law if it does not pass a
state law.
5. The Nehraska Farmers' congress is
on record for prohibition.
a. legislators are discussing the ma
jority by which the stato will go dry, not
the possibility."
