ANEW club, just two months

room of the Belvidere school.
Red Cross work is the feature of
the club. Mrs. Clara Simonds is

DEAR READERS: Effitlent,
strong-minded sisters may say
that the old days of woman's sub
mission to man are gone forever, but
if we don't submit to them any loner
(and did we ever submit to anything
we did not like?), at least we still
want to please them by looking
graceful and "dressed up." The gen
eral ensemble of dress models shown
in our local shops breathes beauty
and suppleness; never have the coats
been so rich, handsome and all-envelopingand
as far as the hats ate con
cerned, it's going to be a season
strictly according to the heart's de
sire, so mere man who was not
pleased with the gay styles of sum
mer is bound to capitulate when he
sees lovely Woman in her Fall attire.
Don't be timid about writing to The
Bee's Shopping Service to help you
select your FaK or Winter outfit. I
only ask that you be explicit in your
directions. Give size, color and pref
erence as to style and fabrics. Ad
dress your letter to Polly The Shop
per, Omaha Bee. Remember, there's
no charge for the service.
SO FAR this season most of our
conversation about Fall Suits
concerned the plain tailored style;
noiV we'll take the opposite directi6n
toward more dressy models. I saw
two interesting variations among
these suits at F. W. Thome's Uptown
Shop for Women, 1612 Farnam. One
which quickly won my friendship was
of a splendid quality of beet-root
burella cloth the stylish long jacket
elegantly lined with self-tone satin
had a becoming cape collar of black
velvet, which could be adjusted high
or low, according to the dictates of
the weather; rows of perfectly toned
buttons were advantageously used for
trimming. Of course, I know that
Mr. Thorne marks his merchandise
at remarkably low figures, but it was
a delightful surprise to learn that this
suit, which I presumed was at leafct
$50, was only $34.75. There's a beau
tiful suit of rekin blue bilvertone
cloth which 'twould also be a joy to
possess. Ask to see these two dressy
models
Linings for winter coats arc more
bewitching than ever.
HARK ye to tl.is: In order to se
cure names for their Fall mail
ing list, Napier's Booterie, Securities
Building, offers to out-of-town custo
mers an allowance of one-half of the
purchase price of a first pair of Fall
shoes for 100 names of women in
their community who might be pos
sible buyers. My! isn't that a gener
ous offer? Not more than one list
accepted from any one town.
ONE of the events of the week, in
which I am mighty interested
and which I'm sure you are, too, if
you've heard about it, is the splendid
sale of furniture beginning tomorrow
at Orchard & Wilheltn's. Not one
piece but what is priced at less than
factory cost, and some pieces are ac
tually being offered as low as half
cost. I walked through the lower
floor of the store, where the furniture
is beine displayed, and was simply
astounded at the markings. Unques
tionably it will be the greatest
money-saving furniture event of the
year. Nearly every period is repre
sentedWilliam and Mar; , Jacobean
and Colonial, down to the present
time. You'll surely want to be there
early to take advantage of this re
markably sale.
THE tailored suit is the favored gar
ment worn this Fall, for almost
every woman is attending meetings
for patriotic service or other business
activities where dressy suits are out
of place. Lohrman, Reliable Ladies'
Tailor, 434-33 Paxton Block, cer
tainly makes stunning suits! He is
an artist in cutting, and this means
everything to the lines of a garment.
I'm sure you'll appreciate knowing
that his prices are exceptionally
reasonable.

Lots of things in plaid or check
Loads of trimmings captivating

Pretty baby togs so sweet
Plenty of blouses most entrancing
Everything to wear for dancing

Just what I may buy for you.
"MY WHAT utyr I ex-
- claimed as I viewed the
handsome new skirts for Fall at La-
mond's Smart Shop, 2d floor Rose
Bldg., and espied one particularly
clever model. It was made with big
box plaits all the way round, and of
the loveliest soft shade of elephant
gray you ever saw. .there was an
other of a deep plum shade with a
crush satin belt and overdrape which
extended in points, which immedi
ately won my admiration. These
skirts are of such lustroui ouality
that I actually gasped when I read
the tickets and saw they were marked
$17.50 why, they looked dollar
more! Lamond's garments, though;
have such snap and quality that they
always appear more expensive.
There is noticeable tendency to
combine two materials in the newest
tailored suits, plaid sergea and ve
lours being combined with materials
of a solid color.
"DEFORE returning to college or
boarding school, don't forget
that the much prized photographs of
your girl and boy friends will not
keep unless put under glass. There
is a wonderful variety of frames in
gold, antique, carved and natural
woods at Hospe's Art Store, 1513
Douglas Street and, moreover, the
prices are bound to interest you.
There's also a fine lot of colored
English landscapes just the thing
for your room at school, at 50 cents
up.
DASSERSBY just love to stop and
gaze at the many pretty gifts
from the Orient displayed in the win
dows of The Nippon Importing Com
pany's attractive Japanese Shop, 218
South 18th St. Gay Kimono of silk
and cotton crepe, handsomely em
broideredand oh, so reasonable in
price! and the cunningest embroid
ered satin Chinese slippers to go with
them lacquered boxes and trays,
baskets and crepe de chine party and
knitting bags (the prettiest ones
you've ever seen) and well! I just
know you'll want to see for yourself,
and Mr. Taso, the proprietor, with all
the courtesy of his race, is always
"just delighted" to show you through
the shop.
SOME of you, I know, would like to
make that Soldier Boy Brother
(or perchance someone' else Soldier
Boy Brother) a present which would
remind him often of you when he is
far away on the firing line in France.
Nothing that I've seen would be more
appreciated than one of those con
venient Elgin wrist watches with lu
minous dial and hands, which are be
ing shown at Arnold H. Edmonston's
Jewelry Shop, 2d , Floor Rose Build
ing. These watches, which are priced
at $25, can be purchased on easy
terms of $2.50 per month. Ask Mrs.
Nieman in this shop to tell you more
about their payment plan.
THE ALLA SHOP, 207 South 18th
St., has a whole window full of
interesting gifts for the brave soldier.
Japanese Cigarette cases, beautifully
lacquered on white metal, at $2.00
Khaki-covered writing cases, $1.25,
and cases of khaki or leather to hold
a loved one's picture for 60 cents and
up.
Navy serge dresses have marched
right into favor with Dame Fashion.
WHEN Lohrman, Ladies' Tailor,
434 Paxton Block, was in the
East this summer he was very fortu-.
nate in securing some handsome coat
models, produced by such famous de
signers as Beer, Bernard, Armand and
Bulloz. Before choosing your winter
cloak it will be quite worth your while
to look at these.
WOMEN interested in new Fall
togs will surely want to in
clude Lamond's, 2d floor Rose Bldg.,
in their shopping list tomorrow.
There are some fetching little silk
frocks which I do so want you to see.
One model which I'm particularly en
thusiastic over is of burgundy and
blue striped satin the new feature
of this dress is the pointed tunic skirt,
which has a double skirt effect in the
back of fluffy, pleated Georgette.

BLACK satin-striped poplin is
shown in some strikingly origi
nal skirts at F. W. Thome's, 1812
Farnam. Besides these there are
some recent arrivals in the new
broad ribbon skirts, which are so
pleasing in effect that they're bound
to be popular models; the stripes,
which are of lovely soft Autumn
tones, run horizontally in some of the
skirts, while in others the stripes are
placed vertically at the front and cen
ter back, with the sides horizontal.
Sometimes semblance of the barrel
effect is given by the drapery, or the
pocket formation.
P ANSI E St deep purple ones, and
only 25 cents a dozen, in a low
flower bowl, make a beautiful and
effective centerpiece when arranged
by Lee Larmon, the Fontenelle Flor

'C'OR women who look upon Au
gust as a propitious time to have
their Fall clothes made, the rich, col
orful and exquisite shimmering silks
and soft, lustrous satins shown at
Thompson-Belden's cannot fail to be
intensely interesting. I don't want
you to miss seeing their wonderful
display of Satin Duchesse, which
comes in all those lovely quiet tones
to much in demand for Fall. . I know
you'll go into ecstacies, just as I did,
over this beautiful material smoke
and taupe, which have been heralded
as Autumn' favorite colors are
shown, as well as Madonna blue,
suede (an olive tone), belladonna
(between a plum and wistaria), and
burgundy. Waterfall silks, which
come in diversified and original pat
terns of plaids and atrines in har
monious color combinations, such as
bronze and blue, will be highly fa
vored for dresses and separate skirts.

Three mahogany tones which are
voguish in silks and woolen material
begin with a light reddish shade
called redwood, and end with a dark
brownish tone called chippendale.
DROSPECTS for an interesting
tailored season were , never
brighter than at present. The col
lege maid will find nothing so wear
able, and at the same time eo good
looking, as a handsomely tailored
suit At Benso( & Thome's I noted
some delightfully youthful models in
mannish tailleurs of English tweed,
mixed velour and Oxford cloth with
invisible ' stripe. A new feature
shown i the two breast pockets,
which give quite an air of militarism.
Though the suitings in these smart
tailleurs are of dignified hue, the
linings are gay enough to please the
most frivolous. ,
SPRING CHICKEN DINNERS!
Doesn't the mention of them
bring to you visions of delight? Well,
if you've ever tried one at The Flat
iron Cafe, you'll agree with me that
you never tasted anything better in
your life1. If you'll 'phone in the
morning the chef will prepare one
SPECIALLY for you just think of

INTERESTING news, indeed! Na
pier's new Fall Catalogue will be

a comprehensive description of the
different models. Send your name to
them, as well as the name of your
friends, and they'll be ever so glad to

You need not journey far away
For Fashion's "latest" of the day,
For there are many, many things

MISS ADAMS of The Tots Shop
of Benson & Thome's is never
so happy as when she finds something
which will add to the prettiness of
the petite maiden. In her recent

dainty hats of white silk poplin one
in turban effect, slightly shirred on
cords and trimmed with hand-made
silk flowers, turns back to show the
flower face of the child. Then there
is a short back bonnet effect of snow
white corduroy trimmed with tiny fur
heads and ribbon, and a jaunty cap
of wash corduroy (suitable, too, for
Baby Brother), topped with a saucy
white pom pom of fur $1.95 to $4.75

Bee Wants-Ads Produce Results.
SOFT, subdued wool plaids and
stripes are to be the very smart
est dress materials during the ensuing
season is the announcement from
New York and European style cen
ters, and in keeping with their recog
nized habit of being the first to an- '
nounce and show a new fashion,
Thompson-Belden's invite you to see
the shipment of these, which has just
arrived. Then there is a new soft
surface wool textile with an inter
woven silk thread called "Crystal Ve
lour,' which is an ideal material for
Fall and Winter garments, because
it does not muss and wears indefin
itely. I was particularly pleased with
it and the lovely colors in which it is
shown of Hunter's green, beladonna
(a rith plum shade), mole, taupe,
gray, redwood, walnut and furnace
red.
There are marvelous new Kimono
silks shown in our shops. One pat
tern displays a whole family of little
Japs wandering in a forest of bamboo
trees, in which birds are perched
here and there, while another was
dotted with queer-looking blue and
pink mushrooms. Sounds funny,
doesn't it? But really, these silks are
wonderfully effective and interesting.
"VTEVER forget that once .and
for a whole year you were a
10-year-old kid yourself." It is evi- .
dent that Mr. Bruce McLean of the
Boys' Shop of Benson & Thome's
has never forgotten that fact, for he
chooses clothes that will always make
the kids happy. He has BLOUSES
for 65 cents which are guaranteed
against rub, tub and sun blouses
which have not been cheapened by the
high cost of material and labor, and
are at the same time just as nifty
looking as the shirts Dad wears. By
the Way, this week is absolutely the
last chance to buy at a saving one of
those good-looking school suits with
two pairs of pants for your boy
prices $4.00 to $13.50, which come in
fancy mixtures suitable for Fall and
Winter,
All shades of red will be good in
millinery this new season.
