PLAIN black boots, both lace and

QUITE the best resaon for owning
a silk sweater is to have one to
wear under a party coat. So a
pretty girl behind a counter told me
rb she displayed some beauties. One
in the new plaid effect was wonderfully
stunning.
AS A HAPPY consummation to an
afternoon at the matinee, I can't
imagine anythinr more delightful
than a pleasant chat with your friend
over a "Dewey Special" consisting of

cherry. Doesn't it sound delicious 7 Try
one this week at the Merritt Drug

too, arc so appetising!

FOR the school girl or business
woman a dark blue serge dress,
with a touch of the bright embroid
ery in worsteds or beaded effect to re
lieve it's sombre nes 3, is, to my mind
the ideal costume.
STKAKINn of the H. t. of L., I would
ad vino my readers to purchase sev
eral pairs of shoes this season.
I have it from very good authority,
that we haven't begun to realize how
hoe prices will he advanced.
HAVK you visited the Haas Sample
Suit Shop, Balcony Floor, Pax ton
Block T You'll marvel at the
wonderful gowns on display there in
all the prevailing materials and new
shades. The prices are such an Induce
ment that you can really afford to have
two pretty frocks in the place of one.
a
IN K EEP1NG with the receptive
mood of the afternoon Georgette
gracefully combined with crepe
meteor in the new raisin shade and em
broidered in self tones of silk, fine
lucks at the waist line to give that
straight, slender effect, a cape collar
which fell in a charming way almoat to
the belt, is a wonderful frock which re
ceived more than a few momenta of my
attention this week in one of our new
exclusive shops.

HERK'S a suggestion to Omaha peo
ple for a New Year's resolution-
I read it In one of the New York
magazines :
Oentlemenl Will you join the street
car Courtesy Club? The only condi
tion of membership is that once a day
you yield your seat to a tired woman
or girl. Remember, your mother, wife
or aiater may sooner or later benefit
by your kind example.
Ladies I Will you join the street
car Courtesy Club T Membership is
easy for you. To the occupant of a
Meat who yields it to you a pleasant
"Thank you" is your privilege and hia
due. That's all.
AUK you footsore and weary? If so
vittil The Comfort Shop. 601 Rose
Bldg., and talk with Miss John
ston, who is an expert chiropodist
she assures successful cures of noft
corns in three or four treatments
there's really nothing more painful you
know than soft corns. It's well worth
the price of lii. Her foot massage is
truly magical.
