Lovely Frocks Worn at Wedding.
Rain prevented some of the newest
and handsomest gowns of Omaha's
fashionable set from appearing at the
Country club opening last Saturday
evening. More rain scared other new
frocks away from the Red Cross ball
Tuesday evening. Less rain last
night turned the tide, so that new
gowns were seen in profusion at the
beautiful Brinker-Burkley wedding.
It really was a shame that the rain
persisted long; there might never
again have been so suitable a time to
wear them, and so finally they braved
the rain.
Green was one of the favorite col
ors for the new gowns, the material
of greatest popularity was fluffy tulle
combined with soft satin, and the
favorite trimmings were tiny French
flowers. Miss Elizabeth Davis wore
one of these fairy creations of green
tulle trimmed t with French flowers.
Its simplicity merely enhanced the
beauty of the gown and of its wearer.
Mrs. Harold Pritchett had a modish
gown of green chiffon with over
drapes of lace caught up in loops on
the skirt. Mrs. Glenn Wharton wore
a wonderful gown of peacock green
made with a long pointed train.
Mrs. Charles T. Kountze wore an
exquisite gown of white and silver.
Mrs. Dick Stewart had one of the
most beautiful gowns of any. It was
made of a lovely shade of rose satin
with bouffant skirt and was simply
trimmed with French flowers. Mrs.
Moshier Colpetzer's gown had a
distinctly new touch in the form of
beading on the delicate, white chiffon
which formed the foundation.
Entertain Miss Benn.
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur B. Dunbar
gave a dinner party at their home
Thursday evening in honor of Miss
Jessie Benn of Sioux City, one of the

Dolls Given Kiddies at
Party at Benson & Thome's
Come, lassies and Isds,
Take leave of your dads,
And away to ths May-pole hie.
So goes a merry old song, dating
back to 1671, when the rural dance
about the Maypole was an annual
festivity in Merne Olde tnglande.
Everv Omaha lassie and laddie
missed a great treat who did not at
tend the Maypole party at Benson &
Ihornes yesterday afternoon, whicli
was a feature of baby, week. It was
a truly patriotic affair, with miniature
Uncle Sams and Miss Columbias
.lancing gayly about the rose-garlanded
Maypole, winding in and out
the bright streamers of red, white and
blue ribbons.
After the dance about the May
pole several special fancy dances were
given by the littlest tots.
Tiny Ma.-tha Doty, age 3, gave a
dainty French skirt dance, which
brought forth a burst of applause.
The program closed with patriotic
melodies, sung by Miss Myrtle Wyatt
and' Mr. Steberg.
Each child attending the Maypole
festivities was given a flag fan, and
sixteen Mr. and Mrs. Uncle Sam
dolls were given to the sixteen luckv
children whose fans had the corre
sponding numbers to those ou. the
dolls.
Bojls dressed as Uncle Sam: Harry
Counsman, Glenn Adams, Edward
Grant, Clifford Johnson, Robert Vier
ling, Charles Carr.
Girls dressed as Miss Columbia:
Florence Druesdow, Thelma Wolfe,
Ruth Bernstein, Nellie Grant, Lena
Rosenblatt, Carletta. Clark.
Moving Tenant Knows Not
What to Do With Booze
"May a tenant move his family sup
ply of liquor when he leaves one
house to move into another?" is a
question with which the real estate
firm of A. P. Tukey & Son is wres
tling. A tenant of a house for which this
firm is agent wants to move. His
basement is pretty well packed with
bottled goods. He is afraid to move
it on a van with the rest of his be
longings lest the police seize it in
transit. He is afraid to carry it over
by hand lest he be suspected of boot
legging. He is afraid to leave it in
the basement after he moves, for fear
thieves will get it, and since it is an
outlawed commodity, he fears he
would have no standing in court if he
attempted to prosecute the thief.

" where the brook and river meet."
That is a sad day for the house and the
people in it when the little maid therein
holds in the crook of her arm her painted and
flaxen doll, and puts it to bed for always
because Love has come.
Daniel Cupid is a barbarian just as all
fat babies are and with his careless hands
he nails up, by her yellow curls, a little maid's
childhood and looses away with it his singing
shaft straight to its faithful sawdust heart.
And, laughing, succeeds to favor.

Activities of Women
Philadelphia has t club of advertis
ing women.
More than 12,000 women earn a
livelihood in the millinery trade in
New York City.
A back yard squab farm netted
$3,000 last year for Mrs. Gactyl Hagc-
dorn of Cincinnati.
The Isle of Man, its name notwith
standing, was one of the first places
in the world to grant suffrage to
women.
If the suffrage situation were to un
dergo no further change before 1920,
women would vote for president in
eighteen states and help choose 164
electors.
The woman bank clerk has appear
ed in Baltimore, several young wo
men having been engaged by a
leading bank of that city to take the
places of men called out for military
service.
Canteens to provide for soldiers
and sailors and to be in charge of
women volunteers are to be organ
ized throughout New York state by
the National League for Women's
Service.
Girls of Goucher college have de
cided on the elimination of high-heel
ed shoes as a measure of economy.
It is estimated that if all American
women would follow their example
the saving in the heel leather would
be sufficient in a year to make 100,000
pairs .of shoes.
Senator Broussard of Louisiana
has again introduced in congress a
joint resolution granting permission
for the erection of a monument in
Arlington National cemetery to the
memory of the various order of
Catholic Sisters, who gave their serv
ices as nurses on battlefields and in

According to figures just announced

Questions concerning the part
women will take in American indus
tries during the war will be discussed

the National Women's Trade Union
league, which is soon to meet in Kan
sas City.
FASHION TIPS.
Quite in line with the popular trend
in collars is the deep square collar,
with its high stand at the back.
Quilting is also employed on one
piece frocks and coats; and this fig
ures on the hem of the skirt and on
the sleeves in coarse silk.
Cotton crepe Georgette is one of
the new fabrics for which a pro
nounced vogue is predicted during the
coming summer. It is obtainable in
a wide range of modish and suitable
colorings and in checked, striped or
floral patterns as well as i ' plain
tone. '
Foulard is not alone utilized for
some of the smartest of spring frocks,
but is very effectively introduced as a
trimming detail, appearing, for in
stance, on a shantung or Khaki-kool
frock in the form of a deep, graceful
collar, with a hint of repetition at
cuffs or belt.
