patriotic service.

Registration of Nebraska women
for patriotic service will go on until
every loyal woman citizen over 16 is
registered, Mrs. A. E. Sheldon, state

very heavy, especially in view of the
fact that but six weeks were allowed
for organizing and perfecting plans,"
she writeJ.
"Topeka, Kan., registered 2,600
women; Wichita, Kan., registered 900
women, each of these towns about the
size of Lincoln. 7 Lincoln registered
over 5,000. !
"The Nebraska State Council of
Defense has no organization as yet
in six of ninety-three counties. In at
least eight other counties registration
was not held on the 12th because the
organization necessary was not suffi
ciently complete. About thirty coun
ties have as yet no woman chairman.
October 17 is the date set for com
pleted returns from each county.
"Registration is to be carried on
through precinct organization in each
county after the manner prescribed
by the County Council of Defense. No
other one day will be set for state
wide registration.

Women of AMERICA, Hail!
Twill surely be of some avail
Your REGISTRATION.
Helps to put them on your track
So to speak
Each week
You can "do your bit"
By giving just a little time
Outside your regular line
Just think of it!
Then, if you can "Parlez vous
Francais," it is up to you
To volunteer to go to France
To help our COUNTRY'S cause
advance
And even tho' you go abroad
In uniform you'll feel quite proud
For WOMEN and CLOTHES to a
certain degree
Can't help mixing up as you may see
For CLOTHES are to Milady f aire
What a frame is to a picture rare
In satin she's perfectly lovely
She's dainty as can be in lace
She's proud and stately in velvet
And wears it with beautiful grace
In a serge frock she simply is swagger
In linen she's always smart
And in frilly white muslin old ,
fashioned and quaint
She's Queen over many a heart.
DEAR Folks :
Autumn days and Autumn styles
advance. The real Fall season is rap-,
idly ceasing to be merely a series of
glances through Summer days. It
brings with it new visions, new ideas,
greater plans than ever before.
In addition to our home and imme
diate duties, we are planning to do
an added bit for our country. There
is joy in the knowledge that we are ,
facing our problems bravely and to
gether. Certainly never was there an
American woman who was a slacker.
The shops are ready with' new
styles and fresh merchandise. And
how glad we are to see the lovely
things that are being' shown. Of
course, we'll all turn out this week
to the "Fall Openings.' I understand
that one of our stores is going to have
theirs in the evening and it's to be
quite a brilliant affair.
If .you . live out of town, remem
ber I'm always ready to help you put
with ideas and to do your shopping
for you. Address your letters to
Polly The Shopper, Omaha Bee.
IF THE finishing, touch of the cos
tume at the throat is distinctive,
dainty and in perfect ttaste, it
frequently makes the difference
between a very ordinary and a
very smart appearance. Never have
I seen lovelier neckwear than is
shown this season at Thompson-Bel-den's.
There are collars of a soft,
washable wool-crepe material edged
with Venetian lace that' are decidedly
new and very, very smart indeed 1
These, as well as. the white satin
collars and dainty lace or ruffled trim
med organdy collar and cuff sets, will
be very stylish this Fall with serge
frocks and suits. Our friend of last
season, the becoming net and lace
jabot, is longer and fuller this sea
son and more beautiful than ever. It
has an interesting feature in being
draped over a vestee of net, so that
when the jacket is removed it shows
no ugly, disconnected line between
collar and blouse. Another new note
is the smart, black satin stock which
is attached to some of the new Jabots.
Irish crochet, always so effective, has
come again into its own and is shown
in a few handsome sets.
PERIOD furnishings is a term
which has discouraged many peo
ple. It has been associated with or
nate schemes unsuited to the average
home and quite beyond the average
income. A visit to the display floors
of Orchard & W'helm has, however,
completely altered my opinion with
regard to this, for I have seen there
faithful reproductions of such, styles
as Italian Renaissance, Louis XVI,
William and Mary, Queen Anne,
Chippendale and Hepplewhite applied
to Living room, Dining room and
Library furniture, such as would be
suitable in any American home of the
twentieth century. It is really quite
an education to visit this exhibition.
Isn't This Funny?
The Bee is in receipt of two let
ters this week' asking if these col
umns were written by a MAN, Do
tell me, dear readers, if "Polly's"
style of writing fashion notes is at
all masculine 1 I thought I'd acquired
a sufficient amount of superlative ad
jectives so there would be no doubt
whatsoever in anyone's mind.
BYE o' Baby Bunting I Father
dAesn't need "to go hunting to get
a pretty rabbit skin." No, indeed 1 For
there are far prettier hand quilted af
fairs "to wrap the Baby Bunting in,"
made of beautiful Dresden silk with
attached hoods which may be bought
in The Little Tots' Shop at Benson
Thome's for $5.00. Besides these
"Baby Bunting" affairs, there . are
other adorable things in Japanese
quilted goods for the dear Babykins
the softest, downiest silk quilts of
pink, blue or tiny rosebud patterns for
$1.95, $225 and $2.95. Then there
are the cuddliest sleeping bags in
which to tuck Baby away for his
nap for $5.00, and the loveliest quilted
robes of rosebud silk or pink satin
for $3.95. For little girls 3 to 4 years
old there are the sweetest satin robes
in copen blue and rose for $3.95 or
for 5 and 6-year-olds, $4.95.
ana, Kansas, Missouri and Wyoming.
No complete returns from any tone of
these have as yet been reported to
the National Council of Defense,
Washington, since the work of tabula
tion is so heavy. Nebraska women
have large patriotism, as evidenced by
returns from September 12 in coun
ties holding registration. Our aim is
to get the largest pro rata registration
of any state."

FOR the Business Woman.
A verv hntv littlo Rmin:i nr.
son wnom 1 met.on the street the
other day inquired plaintively: "Oh,
f ouy, wnere shall l hnd some good
looking clothes for office wear? I've
only an hour at noon and it's such a
little time in which to shop. Won't
you please look around and tell us
Business Women in your Sunday col
umns what you've seen for us in the
shops?" I promised I would, and be-
low is the result of my investigation:
T'LL begin with SUITS. The
L Business Woman who requires one
sturdy suit wilj find satisfaction
in choosing one from the splendid
array of man-tailored garments at F.
W. Thome's Uptown Shop for Wom
en, 1812 Farnam St. It's surprising
what snappy styles they are showing
in moderate price merchandise. For
instance, there's a clever belted model
of that "stand-by" color, navy blue,,
in Burella cloth, for only $24.75
really a remarkable suit for the price I
This same model also comes in the
new approved shades of beet-root,
Hunter's green and walnut. There
are two extremely stylish trench mod
els in checked velour one gray and
green, the other gray and blue, for
$37.50. My, but they are good-looking
and nothing could be more practical
for service. Besides these, there are
many other varied and delightful
styles which cannot fail to please the
Business Woman who wishes "to look
the part."
THEN I scooted around looking
for BLOUSES, and at the same
shop ' I found some plaid and
striped taffeta blouses which are
tailored in appearance, and nbt
gay in color, but those lovely, soft,
subdued shades which bespeak "per
fect taste" for the Business Woman.
Some of these have the new higji col
lar effect and neatly finished cuffs.
They're priced $5.45. For times when
a dressier bbuse is required there
are lovely dark Georgettes in every
shade to match the new Fall suits for
$6.00 up, at F. W. Thome's,
- '' -; :
A LITTLE talk about watches is
timely. If you're a busy wom
an you count every minute worth
money. . You must depend upon
your watch to do so many things
for you in an allotted time. At
Arnold H. Edmohdston's Pretty
Jewelry Shop, 2d Floor Securi
ties Bldg., they have wrist watches
which are not only as dainty as can
be, but are dependable as well. These
can be purchased on the easy pay
ment plan, making it possible for
even the business girl on a modest sal
ary to have one For her very own.
..
THE crowning achievement to a
woman's appearance is a hat built
on correct lines. The tailored hats
I saw in Benson & Thome's Millin
ery Department are really lessons in
effective simplicity. They show what
fi
may oe aone to a sauor or wanting
hat to give it a distinctively different ,
air straight, rolling and tip-tilted'
brims, stiff or soft crowns, chin-chin
or turban effects; but all appropriate
for their intended use to wear with
the smart "tailleur." When you visit'
Benson & Thome's Opening on Tues
day don't fail to see THE HATS.
1
THE one-piece dress holds an im
portant place in the wardrobe of
every well attired Business Woman.
The smart simplicity of the serge
frocks shown bt Lamond's, 2d Floor
Securities Blag., recommend them
especially to the woman who desires
style as well as serviceability. Blue
serge, which is always satisfactory, is
used in some very charming models.
One which I especially admired had in
sets of biscuit colored" serge in stripes
which were hidden by 6-inch box
plaits. Beet-root, Hunter's green and
mode shades are also shown in this
unusual collection of Autumn dresses.
SHOE news. I asked Mr. Rush
Winget of the Boot Shop of Ben
son & Thome's to show me some
boots which were modish and at the
same time within a price that the
average Business Woman could af
ford. I was astonished at the beau
tiful boots he showed me for $8.00.
Walking boots in tan, cocoa brown
and black Russia calf and kid some
with Marine cloth tops to match and
having the l-inch strolling heel,
flexible welt and hand-sewed soles
in height, 84 and 9 inches. - He pro
duced a dressier model for $9.00 in all
the new Fall shades, with kid cov
ered Louis heels. It would certainly
add grace to a feminine foot.

John A. Monroe, R. C. Howe, W. A.
C. Johnson and Will Reed. This com
mittee is to act as an advisory com
mittee and raise the $7,000 budget,

A many beautiful effects in neck-
wear. I noted some new ties in Per
sian patterns at Lucien Stephens'
Shop tor Men, 1901 Farnam, this week
which I thought were exceptionally
good looking. The . salesman who
showed them to me said that they had
come from one of the most particular
of American manufacturers and were
only $1.00. It's the details of a man's
apparel that give tone and character
to his makeup, and you may be as
sured of the absolute correctness of
these if you are a patron of Mr.
Stephens' shop.
TT URRAH I. Discovered a way to
" put one over on that, old ogre,
H, C. of L. It's by buying your shoes
in the new Economy Department of
Napier's Booterie, There you'll find
the niftiest looking boots taken from
regular $7.00 and $8.00 ijines all for
one price-$4.90. Why, you'll just be
amazed at these values! There are
boots of patent leather, vici, dull or
brown kid, with turn and welt soles,
2-inch Louis heels and either button
or laced. For business wear or hik
ing there are some of those dandy,
comfortable English walking boots
with low strolling heels. As Napier's
feature so many new styles they nat
urally accumulate broken sizes and
discontinued' lines, so they have cre
ated this ECONOMY DEPART
MENT as an outlet to dispose of
them. Just take a peek at the dis
play of these $4.90 boots in the cen
ter window. -
T7ISITED the shop this week where
' the - Franco-American Toilet
Requisites are sold. Mrs. M. W.
Humphrey, who presides over this
little shop, is an expert in her line
and talks so intelligently on the sub
ject of the care of the Complexion that
I'm anxious to have you meet her
and become acquainted with the splen
did preparations she has to offer. She
says she has the right powder to meet
every complexion needed, various
creams for massage in fact, many
delightful aids for the woman who
wishes to appear youthful and charm
ing. Mrs. Humphrey will ' send
samples of Cutigiene (face ' cream)
and powder on receipt of a postal
from you. Address 772 Brandeis Bldg.

( p ARRY it home." Are you carry-
ing home your small parcels?
To help you do it, Orchard & Wil-
helm are showing a wonderful lot of
carry-it-home BAGS. These ' have
evolved from the Summer's knitting
bags and vary in important points,
but, of course, there is a place to
tuck the knitting in. Some of these
closely resemble the old-time carpet
bag of the 160$, excepting they are
made of very elegant brocades and
velvets. ''' ; - 1

Knit, and the world knits with you,
For knitting stands for courage
strong and true,
And for close bound unity 'tween
our men across the sea,
And the women in our homes, who
strive to do.
NOW is a good time to have your
Fall and Winter garments
cleaned and pressed, ready for use the
day you want them. Just yesterday
I met a friend of mine and I couldn't
refrain from exclaiming over her smart
appearance-rfrom the feather on her
hat to the hem of her dainty skirt
everything looked brand new. Why,
she looked like she'd just stepped out
of a band box. "THE PANTO4IUM,"
she declared, "deserves all the credit,"
for-this is last season's outfit." It
would almost seem beyond belief if
I didn't know from experience that
this establishment does work trans
formations of this kind. Their phone
is Douglas 963.
TF YOU'RE wondering where to
find a hat for that small but fas
tidious little daughter, let me direct
you to The Drahos-Luttig Shop, 1706
Douglas. I saw some delightfully
jaunty chapeaux for children there.
There's also a new shipment of love
ly new dress and tailored hats which
will please you at this smart little
Hat Shop.

TIT HEN Little Sister boards the
V train for Shut-Eye Town there's
nobody she'd love more for a
traveling companion than 'a Pillow
Dolly. This dolly has the prettiest
hand-painted face, is neatly dressed
in a gingham frock and is one of the
famous Jane Gray playthings .for Tiny
Tots which are being exhibited at The
Alia Shop, 207 S. 18th St , Priced
$1.25. "Ruddles" is the name of a
kitty which school girls are using for
Then there are little dolls for . 75c
made of Turkish toweling with funny
faces. My, wouldn't any child love
to take a bath with one of these I
ipHE sub-deb will go Into perfect
ecstacies of delight over an ador
able little party frock created by an
Eastern modiste just for her and
brought to Lamond's, 2d Floor Securi
ties Bldg., for her inspection. It's
just as dainty and sweet as a French
confection, with its alternate rows of
wide pink satin ribbon and tiny silver
edged tulle ruffles. The bit of a waist
has a broad girdle of pink satin fin
ished with small circles of gold braid
and pastel rosebuds. There's an
other frock which has been christened
"Moonlight, and the designer must
nave had a poetic inspiration when
she originated it. It's of pale blue
and silver cloth with a faint touch
of pink the whole' being given a
shadow effect by being veiled with
filmy black tulle. If you're consider
, ing a party frock. for the Ak-Sar-Ben
ball there are many beautiful ones at
this fashionable shop.
' V
A FTER you've decided! what your
frock will be for the-Ak-Sar-Ben
' dance, call Doug. 8244 and consult Lee
Larmon, the Fontenelle Florist, about
an appropriate corsage bouquet I
understand that corsages will be worn
by all the Smart Set at the ball, so
you want to get your order in early.
There are miniature roses, orchids,
lilies of the valley and sweet ,pess,
besides other, dainty blossoms to
. choose from. Mr. Larmon has made
quite a, reputation on his artistic ar
rangement of corsages. v
fTI HINKING about a Piano Player?
At the A. Hospe Co.. 1512 Doug
las, I discovered something quite re
markablea Player Piano at $395!
Just thinkl It really should bring
$500, for it has proven itself as good
in tone and far better in action than
even higher-priced players. Also, you
are given a 10-year guarantee,' several
"piano rolls, a bench, and, moreover,
this piano can also be played by hand.
Next time you're downtown drop in
and see Mr, Hospe about this splendid
Piano Player, which may be bought
for cash or terms.

T AST Wednesday I happened into
the little Japanese Shop of The
Nippon Importing Co., 218 S. 18th St.,
just at the moment of the unpacking
of a fascinating array of BASKETS.
Baskets to put your knitting in, your
fancy work or mending Baskets for
bon-bons in fact, there's a Basket for
almost everything you can think of,
and these will be decorated to your
order with rings, tassels, beads and
coins. There's also a "new shipment
of charming vases just arrived from
the Orient. . --.'

I've searched through the shops for
what's new,
There are many more things unre
corded, '
I'd be happy to list them for YOU.
I trust what I've written is helpful,.
And you'll find something . here
which you'll need, ?
