THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JUNE 10. 1917. 5 B f iWE ARE coming, Father Wil- VV son, ten hundred thousand .frong." that is our 1917 revised ver sion of the patriotic war cry of the '60s and, yes. facing the odds in our small way, "Wc, the women of this country are ready, Mr. Wilson." The regulation Women's Service League Dress severely tailored and made of Khakiette cldth, will be worn by thousands of women during this war period who desire to show their pa triotism by "looking the part." This costume is the most practical thing ever designed for camping, hiking, mountain climbing or general utility wear. Benson & Thome has a com plete line of these dresses. With jacket and skirt. $8.93: dress with de tachable cape, $8.95, or in one piece, '$6.95. FLY a French and English Flag along with our own Red. White and Blue. Lucien Stephens, 1901 Far nam St., has been fortunate in secur ;iig a line of these beautiful flags of oar allies which he is selling for 50c, and, by the way, when you're in the jfh'op don't fail to look at those Japa nese crepe silk ties they're decidedly hew and very, very smart, indeed! OH, IF I only could make cold type picture the summery fairy like hats which 'twas my treat to see yesterday at my favorite little Hat Shop. Hats that genius has imag ined and created for you of dainty ".hair braids, Georgettes, crepes and 4ilmy malines. One that simply cap tivated me was a ravishing orchid .'shade fairly abloom with velvety .sweet peas" which appliqued bow loiots of a deeper orchid shade held in- place. 'Twas truly a "song with out words." There's to be a SPECIAL SHOWING of these Midsummer .dress and sports hats on Monday and Tuesday at Drahos-Luttig's, 1704 Douglas. Please don't miss seeing litem. 1 T M LIST have been a beautiful wed ding indeed, for I've never seen lovelier wedding bouquets than Mr. Larmon and his assistants were pre paring for a society bride and her at tendants when I dropped into his shop in The Fontenelle Hotel last Wednesday. For the bride's own self there was a bouquet of white roses, gardineas with a shower of pink sweet peas. The six bridesmaids' bouquets were in Colonial effect and each one uniquely different, as only Lee Larmon knows how to make them. PHILIPPINE baskets! Daringly painted in orange and black and in curious jar shapes and expansive wide open shapes so firmly made hat they'll last a life-lime. I found them over in a corner at The Alia Shop, 207 S. 18th St. One of them would add a "bright spot" in a room, and would be exceptionally stunning for a summer home. DO YOU v ant to know where Mar cel Waving Is beautifully and successfully done? Then Jet me recommend THE IDEAL HAIR PARLORS, Baird Bldg. .. GET your bonnet and make a bee line for Orchard & Wilhelm's Gift Shop tomorrow, for there's a table piled with some really, truly bargains. Pretty giftie things you tan put away for Xmas gifts the prices cut in twain. There are painted Chinese baskets, knitting bags, a few trays and boxes of rose brocade, fans .and well, I won't mention any more, for I just know you'll want to see tliem for yourself. ONE bf the most interesting shops I visit each week is "The Ideal Button and Pleating Co." for every time they have something new and decidedly different to show me. This week it was an elaborate pattern of -chain stitch embroideTy in Kelly green silk on a snowy white crepe de chine party coat imagine the effectl AVheti this adorns the society miss for whom it was being made I know JtwiU cause many ejaculations of ad-miration.

With life, love And happiness Hearts are attune You bring us Glad greetings You bring Happy meetings You bring us Sad partings too Wonderful June! And so from Our Garden of Hearts It is true SUNRANE Parasols! Parasols which will obligingly do the double duty of protecting you from the rays of the sun and rain, too and what's more, they're emphatically so pretty that if you see them you'll be just crazy to own one. I found a distracting array of these Summer parasols just inside the 16th street entrance of Thompson-Belden's. Para sols in plaids and stripes Parasols in splashy Japanese effects, pongee, Khaki Kool and all the gay new colors with the stunning Oriental shapes Parasols with bluebirds flying around as an interior trimming Parasols with Shepherd crooks (very new I was told) and fancy wood and enam eled handles. Then there are those convenient little Auto face Parasols and Parasols "just like grown-ups" for wee girlies. DONE up in a pretty gift box and just the thing" for a party prize is a set of "Royal Window Cleaning Cloths" they're chemically treated and polish glass without soap or water. You'll find it for 75c at The Alia Shop, 207 S. 18th St. There's "The Royal Shoe Cloth," too, for 35c that would make such a dandy little gift. . Remember, The Bee's Shopping Service is free to all its readers. YOU'D be surprised! Just step into F. W. Thome's Uptown Shop, 1812 Famam, and see what he's offer ing you for your little folks from 2 to 12 years old. Ducky frocks of or gandy, voile, batiste, crepe de chine, linen and dotted Swiss at "closing-out" prices for Mr. Thorne has decided to discontinue selling garments for little people and intends to specialize cn Women's and Misses ready-to-wear. There are adorable touches of hand-work on these pretty dresses smocking, French knots, tucks and embroidery and such darling little coats of silk, poplin and taffeta effec tively trimmed; also some coats of velour, serges and novelties in checks, whick will be snug little garments for cool days and automobiling. t AY'OUNG married friend of mine has been so happily enthusiastic over her Hoosier Kitchen Table that I made a special trip over to Orchard & Wilhelm's this week just to see what it was like. Now I understand the reason for her enthusiasm, for I'll never be satisfied till I have one, too. The top is of white porcelain so easy to keep clean, and the big roomy drawers and lined flour bin made it such a desirable piece of kitchen fur niture. It's really a wonder for $17.50. BRIDES O' June! To you and to your friends who will substantial ly remember your wedding day, I say is there anything that will bring more harmonious happiness in your new home than a gift of a musical- instru ment? The A. Hospe Co. has Small Grand Pianos for $485.00 and up which will be so suitable for your Bunga low home. An upright piano, a player piano or a Victrola would all made ideal wedding gifts. Suggest it to "dad," won't you? TNVITING! Well, isn't it? If there -L is one place a woman loves to fre quent more than another it is a shop which breathes of the scent-laden, quaint and mystic Orient. One is transported across the sea to that isl and of cherry blossoms just to step inside the shop of THE NIPPON IMPORTING CO., 218 S. 18th St. It's so truly Japansey.

She should have one of those, too. A bouquet of brides We are offering you. And oh! little brid' As I tripped Thru each shop I was forced To linger Aye often to stop To list many Lovely effects That were there So fresh and So charming So new and so rare Just look! Thru these items I've listed below Perhaps you'll find Just what you've Wanted to know. Be very explicit if you write your wants to Polly. She doesn't know unless you say so that blue is more becoming than pink and that your bust measure is 40 instead of "a per fect 36." THERE are so many wonderful things in that beautiful Oriental Shop down the street I mean "El dridge's," at !318 Famam that pen points splutter and pencil points break when I endeavor to treat them adequately in a small item like this. If you want the "Gift Ideal" for the S. G. Graduate, why not choose a Party Scarf one of those soft, clinging Japanese silken affairs of Kinchi or Resedo silk in delicate rainbow tints or one marvelously embroidered?

THERE'S for your inspection a most complete showing of com fortable, cool, white boots and Ox fords for the season's Sports wear at Napier's Booterie, Rose Bldg.

The high-topped laced boots in linen are $6.00 the same style in buck, $8.00. You'll surely want one of these attractive models to wear with your Summer sports costumes. Mail orders prepaid, subject to re fund should they prove not entirely satisfactory. IT WON'T be nearly so difficult for him to "pop the question" if he has one of Edmonston's little diamond engagement rings to present to "Her" and just listen to this! With every diamond ring amounting to $50.00 or over a handsome Tiffany wedding ring will be given free Ask Mrs. Nie man, at Arnold H.

MISS Cole of The Lingerie Shop, 511 Bee Bldg., is introducing a new house dress for prospective mothers which she calls "The Com fort Frock." I'm sure little mothers-to-be will be so delighted with its trig neatness that they'll want at least two or three of them. One of Miss C's "Saucy Janes," those practical, clever and original house frocks I've men tioned before in these columns is go ing to take a trip to Florida tucked away in a little bride's trunk. Miss Cole makes things to order, you know. A unique little gift box for a bridal kitchen shower that contains five dif ferent sized measuring spoons has this verse on the cover; "Measure carefully your salt, ' Your sugar, pepper, spice; Then whatever you may cook Will surely turn out nice." Dear Friends: With Patriotism our hearts arc overflowing, but wc must be normal, good sense to be showing for buying means many a mouth to be fed, when you buy Summer garments you're paying for bread. He a "stay-at-home" soldier, for in each walk of life, if you try to be normal, you'll aid in the strife. Sincerely yours. POLLY. Advertisement.

After sev eral conferences with different author ises it became clear that the delegates to the conference had the power offi cially to recommend an appointment onlv to the body calling the confer ence, and that there had been no re quest trom the national Council ot Defense for any appointment," she writes. "The Conservation commission an proved and made permanent the recommendation of the delegates, thereby overthrowing the tentative plans for an election by the women of the state. Later there may be an appointment from Washington of a Nebraska woman to act as executive leader of woman s work in the state. In this case the committee on con servation in the home would be one of several committees acting under this executive head. "The Nebraska Conservation com mission is auxiliary to the State Coun cil of Defense. Governor Neville and Mr. George E. Copeland, the latter being vice chairman of the Council of Defense and food conservator of Ne braska, has expressed a desire to co ordinate all work. The first project in the woman s work has been tne organization of canning schools. "A mailing list is now being com pleted of all groups of women in the state and material regarding tooct con servation will be sent as the work de velops. As chairman of the home work in conservation, I shall depend on your co-operation and would ap preciate any suggestions regarding the work. On the appointment of an ex ecutive head tor woman s work in Nebraska I shall gladly co-operate with her in every possible way."

Where He At tended Funeral of Senator Lane. Congressman Lobeck spent Satur day in Omaha enroute from Portland, Ore., to Washington. He was one of a delegation of nine congressmen and six senator sent from Washington to attend the funeral of Senator Lane of Oregon. He also visited in San Francisco. "I was at the Presidio there and saw them building the cantonments for the army camp," he said. "One of the biggest problems we have to deal with is that of lumber. It is going to take an immense quantity just to build these cantonment cities and the wooden ships will require still more. No doubt General Goethals saw the impossibility of getting enough lumber when he changed the plan for 2,000 wooden ships." Regarding the possibility of Omaha getting one of the cantonment cities, lie said he had done all he could and it is now up to the War department. He advised Commissioner Manly of the Commercial club to present Omaha's advantages to General Barry in Chicago as the best means of get ting one of the camps. "It looks as though we are in for a long fight in this war unless some thing unexpected happens," he said. "Russia is practically out of it and we will probably have to finish it with our other allies. "The submarine problem has not been solved. The authoritiea have received as high as 1,000 letters in a single day on the subject.
