SYFER1 TELLS THE STORY Well, well, well I Now we can hear the other side of the much-mooted question of dress in connection with the biennial con vention of the General Federation of Women's Clubs. Gather close around, sisters, and we'll whisper in your ear what Mrs. E' M. Syfert, president of the Omaha Woman's club, has to say about how New York women dress themselves, since they presumed to tell us west ern women how we should dress when we come to New York. No men readers allowed. No in deed! You remember that the new York biennial board, or, more properly, Miss Mary Peck, sent out a long list of instructions on the dress subject, among other things telling us to wear our last winter suits, small hats and not to bother about bringing even ing gowns unless our hearts were especially set upon it. ! You Should Have Seen Htr. Well, Mrs. Syfert says she got a good glimpse of Mist Peck, the dress censor, when she was in New York and, let's whisper it, she didn't think Miss Peck made such a striking ap pearance herself I Not at all! "Of course, she was strictly tailored, but '' said Mrs. Sy fert, and her hesitation expressed reams, for Mrs. Syfert is too much oi a lady to express a derogatory opin ion. But here is a genuine shock I Decollete gowns were worn in broad daylight rt some sessions of the convention at the Houel Astor! Aside from the fact that the gowns in cluded apologies for sleeves, so that they were not entirely sleeveless, tluey were what would be called evening gowns in Oinalia, such as one ares at the Ak-Sar-i en ball. These gowns were worn in New York City in die middle of the day I Yes, Can you Beat It? But it wasn't the western delegates who wore them. No, indeed! It was the New York women themselves I Can you beat it? At for the western women, they wore what their sweet will dictated and completely ignored the set of dress "don'ts" issued by the biennial board. They left their winter suits at home packed in camphor balls and appeared, the most of them, in gor geous silk suits. Mn. Syfert says that the New York women defended themselves for send ing out the hints on correct drest by the statement that they were never intended for publication. To alleviate the wounded feelings of the western delegates, who were loud in their expressions of rancor, it is rumored that the next issue of the General Federation magazine will contain both an apology and an ex planation. The delegatei had another griev ance against the biennial board aside from, the dress proposition. When a delegation travels half way across the continent, or the whole way, the wo men would enjoy hearing part of tht Convention proceedings anyway. "Although the Nebraska delegation was seated only thirty rows from the stage, we heard almost nothing of the whole meeting's procedure," said Mra. Syfert. "Dr. Vincent of Minneapolis and part of Mrs. Pennypacker't talks were absolutely all I heard during the whole convention. So we all decided to attend the department conferences instead. The sounding boards were (liuigtd ihrer I unci, but nothing seemed to help the sihiatu n." Mrs, Syfert was chosen for a teller lor New York state during the count ing of election ballots. Mrs. Syfert. who returned from Chicago this morning, saw the suffrage ptrade and attended both political conventions She was usher and doorkeeper at the progressive convention. Mrt. J. N. Paul of St. Paul, presi dent of the Nebraska Federation, ex tended an invitation to Mrs. losiah Evans Cowles of California, the new General Federation president, to at tend the state convention next fall. A similar invitation was extended by Mrs. Syfert lot the Omaha Woman's club. Heart Balm of $1,000 Given to John Speer John Speer, who sued James Jen sen, Benson butcher, for $10,000 for the alleged alienation of hit wife's affections, has been awarded a verdict of $1,000 in the court of District Judge Troup. City Hall Folks Getting Enthused ; Over the Parade Misses Margaret Boekhoft, Mary Nolan and Lulu McGrier of tht feminist right wing of the city hall are trying to work up interest in the formation of a women's municipal ' marching club for next Wednesday's i patriotic ptrade. Mayor Dahlman has I ordered all city employes to march m tile parade and will set the ex ample by walking. Miss McGrier is thinking of wear-1 ing a tri-colored dress of special de sign for the occasion. The city hall people expect to make quite a show ing in the parade.
