WHEN THE OAT'S AWAY, ETC.
By MELLIFICIA July 13.
Did you have luncheon at the Oma
ha club today?
Then you noticed the most ravish
ing group of beauties, Omaha's stun
ningest matrons, out on a lark. You
wouldn't have known they were hav
ing such a lark if I didn't tell, be
cause Ostensibly it was a most con
ventional affair. Just a sort of fare
well luncheon for one of the hand
somest summer viistors.
It was the nicest party. But not
I staid luncheon ofdignified married
women. Ah, no I tji attentive males
there was 1 lack, only in this in
stance (let us whisper It!) said at
tentive males were not the husbands
nor yet the brothers of the charming
matrons!
You see, it was like this. Most of
the husbands are' away and well, it's
pretty dull to have luncheon alone
and so long as there are bachelors
or summer widowers enough to go
around, why not a lark? For women
fair and gallants brave are often wont
to' run the gaunlet of Dame Grundy..
"When the cat's away, the mic
will play." Surely a bromide to offer
in this hot weather, but you know
what we mean I

Another new 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers, 7 passengers, 122 -inch wheelbase, supreme beauty, $1280 Detroit
Aftd the original 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers, doubly refined, amazing performance! 115-inch wheelbase, $1090 Detroit
Picture a giant of rare strength and ability, and clothe
him in fine garments and you have a mighty good
picture of this new Chalmers
the 1917 8400 r. p. m. Chalmers with the 122-inch
wheelbase, double cowl body and French pleated
upholstery.
A good day's work was done when they made it
They took as a base the 1916 8400 r. p. m. Chalmers.
A car that had 1,000,000 miles of record behind it And
a service mark of 99.21 percent perfect.
They didn't touch the 3400 r. p. m. power plant.
They stood pat there.
And on this magnificent chassis they laid a body that
surpasses the ordinary man's power of expression.
To describe this gorgeous body is like trying to de
scribe a Rocky Mountain sunset. It's impossible.
You get an optic sensation that fills the mind with
a picture you'll never forget.
lines ladies, they're so severely modern that at
first the Chalmers people thought they'd have to change
them too far ahead ot the procession.
But Mr. Chalmers finally said to go ahead. And he
was right, because the first one that sailed up the avenue
stopped traffic
Men driving cars actually drove up ahead in front to
see what car it was.
And performance-rgehtlemenl There's never been
but one that could touch her her 3400 r. p. m. sister.
She performs with a laugh. She has never refused me
a hilL She has never failecf to answer my every whim.
' 3400 r. p m. is the reason.
But what I like most about her is the perfectly
.corking body.
I'm going to tell about one little feature of the body,
and then you'll have to come and find the rest out for
yourself.
It's about the upholstery. Now, there's been reams
written and tons talked about upholstery. Some one
once measured it in (inches. Another described it in
curlicue springs. Some one else reduced it to "real hair. "
I don't know the thickness of it and care less ; but
when I get in the tonneau and sit down I have a feeling
that I never want to get out
It fits the fat man as well as the thin man.
They're long pleats French pleats (which sa good
by once and for all time to the "button and biscuit"
kind). f .V:vvy:'vv;? "
She's a real car, gentlemen, and a wonderful value-7
$1280 Detroit. You put away in your wardrobe the
equivalent of four good suits of clothes, a couple of pairs
01 ten-dollar shoes, and a Knox hat when you lay down
the money for her. You save about $275. -
Don't let me forget to call attention to her smaller
sister
the 1917 3400 r.p.m. Chalmers with the 115-inch
wheelbase.
Because she's a 3400 r. p. m.'r, great on the hill, .
smooth in. traffic, full of spunk any time any day.j ' ' -r1 ';"
She's just like her 1916 predecessor. 1 Neither you nor
I could tell the difference. 1 And you're dead sure when
you buy her because her record is as clear-cut as a cameo
1,000,000 miles of use with a service record of 99.21
percent perfect.
Both cars are ready. If you haven't seen them you've
missed a day's treat Better than going to the art gallery
