Dearth of Men at Dances in Prospect.
, Married folks dinner dances at the
various country clubs will be more
lopular this year than ever Deiore.
,Vhen a few of the club tried the plan
last vear and the year before they
proved immensely popular. The old
fashioned waltz and two step set the
feet qf our elders to twinkling over
the waxed floors in genuine youthful
fashion, for, truth to tell, they are not
far from youthful themselves now
adays.
This vear all the sirts are bemoan
itig the fact that (he club dances will
be destitute ot their young menus,
admirers and beaux. It is a sad pros
pect from a dancer's viewpoint, is it
not? Matinee dances for the young
women might be pleasant, but to have
evening dinner dance parties without
young men would be nign to impos
aihle.
If, though, there are plenty of
dances for older people, this indoor
sport may not lapse. Perhaps some
of the handsome oider men may be
seen dancing with their pretty young
daughters and some of the Lord
Chesterfields among our fathers and
mothers may completely eclipse tne
Beau Srummels among the young
men.
A cartoon in an eastern paper the
other day was quite apropos to the
subject and may illustrate the fate of
some other young men. The young
man in the cartoon was labeled the
"Bore." In the picture which showed
him "Before," the poor fellow was be
ing reiusea pcrmissiorKio out a
dance with a young woman. In the
second scene, which showed him
"After," the girls were all crowding
around nun, smiling their sweetest
and begging for t he privilege to
dance with him. Doubtless some poor
Omatyi chaps who have not been able
to hit it oft very well with the fairer
eex may experience a radical change
in atmosphere this summer at the
country clubs. I

When you do not relish your food
it is well to inquire the reason why.
Your stomach may be debilitated,
your liver torpid, your bowels con
stipated, or you may be eating too
much. Many people eat more than
they should, particularly those of
middle age or older, and those of sed
entary habits. If your lack of appe
tite or relish for your food arises
from either of these causes, correct
your habits and take a few doses of
Chamberlain's Tablets. They will do
you good, give you a better appetite
and make you feel better. Adv.

OMAHA, FRIDAY, MAY
Chinese Rug
This model bids fair to-be
jne of he popular successes
of the season. In its origi
nal development it is of blue
serge and a very dull, almost
bronze-like, gold. It has
been adapted and modified
so that none of its smart
ness is sacrificed, but so that
the average figure will find
it far more wearable than
the too extreme original.
White serge embroidered in
pale gold was used for this
adaptation. The buttons are
of serge and the belt, which
slips from under the tunic,
is of loosely woven gold
braid. Tfns dress shows the
trend of fashions toward the
Orient. It was inspired, as
even a casual glance sug
gests, by nothing less than a
wonderful old Chinese rug.
Each of the three large
square medallions has a
Chinese dragon design and
the edging scroll work looks
like another theft from the
rug weaving of the far east.
Roads Must Use Gondola
Cars for Coal Exclusively
Omaha railroad offices have been
advised that under the ruling of -the
railway subcommittee of the Council
for National Defense, gondola can
will be used only for transportation
of coal in the future. It is believed
thfs will relieve the car shortage for
hauling coal and enable producers to
hasten delivery of tile fall and winter
supply to dealers.
Gondola cars have been used to a
great extent for hauling sand, broken
stone and building material.
