Omaha women show their individ
uality in many different ways. One,
in particular thaa I have noticed is
the partiality which several promi
nent social leaders have for a certain
flower. Veryoften when asked what
the centerpiece for their luncheon or
dinner table will be they reply:
"Oh, my favorite flower, of course,
I never use any other."
One or two of them, always use
the same flower in their corsage"
boquets.
Mrs. Ward Burgess is seldom seen
in the afternoon or evening without
a lovely corsage of Mrs. Ward roses.
Mrs. Charles Kount2e shows her
fondness for the delicate pinks and
blues of the sweetpea by frequently
wearing a fragrant cluster pinned, to
her furs as she attends to the many
matters which make up her busy day.
Mrs. Halleck Rose, prominent club
woman, also shows her fondness for
the old gold shade of the Mrs. Ward
roses.
Miss Allen Hostess.
Miss Mable Allen was hostess at a
shower and tea at her home in honor
of Miss Ruth Slabaugh, who will be a
November bride. The shower was
orobably one of the most unique that
has yet been given for this brideto-be,
as the guests were requested to bring
cosmetics of all kinds. Twenty guests
were present
White-Lumm.
An announcement of interest to
Omaha friends is that of the mar
riage of Mrs. Nina Lumm to Mr. Wal
lace Humphrey White at Patterson,
N. J., on November 1.
Mrs. White, who is the daughter of
Mrs. Dvight Lumbard, formerly of
Fremont, will be remembered as an
artist of some note, she having had
a studio here for some time. :

Williams, delegates from the Athletic
club, who have been attending the
war workers' council in Des Moines
this week. The delegates visited' Camp
Dodge, the hostess houses, and in-

"I have no troubles. I don't know
what trouble is. Aiis store has been
so successful during the past two
years that I could not, if I would,
complain of" and the he began to
talk cash register receipts of "which I
know very little, and I didn't listen
anyway. Just couldn't help thinking
how lovely it was of him to live in a
troubleless world where everything
sailed smoothly.
"Honest I mean," and I tried to
persuade him that he was mistaken,
that he lived in the same kind of a
criss-cross world that all the rest of
us lived in. But his emphatic reply
was this:
"Yes, 'honest,' I mean, too."
No use to argue with him for he
would have his way. And he isn't a
"beau" or anything of that kind. He
was not afraid of what the women
might say of him. He is just one of
those out-spoken men who takes more
pleasure in rapping one over the head
with a heavy remark than in smooth
ing down the rough fur.
"In the matter of credits," he con
tinued, "I have found women honest,
almost without exception.
"Delivery? I haven't found women
unreasonable. Jn fact they have been
awfully decent about it.
"I do feel, though, that women are
not particular enough about reading
our advertisements. They are not
keen for the bargains we are offering

department takes great pains -in writ

style and models. If women were as
careful to read these ads as they
should be, they would be the profiteers
by many a dollar."
In this particular store, I learn,
styles are always the latest and best.
It carries complete stocks of various
kinds of merchandise.
From the best informed buvers in
fOmaha I learn that:
Colors for autumn and winter are
somber and include raveil, dark blue,
caramel bown, marmot and corinth
blue, taupe, mustard and cinnamon.
The suits in these colors are beauti
fully made and high clavss. There are
blouses to match these colors, but it is
wise to wear the suit when matching
a blouse, as the different shades fight
worse than Irish neighbors.
Gowns for evenincr wear are
brighter, one called Americaine being
particularly pleasing, lurquois blue
and shell pink seem to be in favor
if one is to judge from the wonder
ful assortment of new gpwns arriving
for the charity ball.
Remember, women of good judg
ment and good taste, we ar6 appreci
ated by one merchant, at least, who
says that, (considering the number
of women shoppers compared to the
men), we are quite desirable as cus
tomers. We have a reputation to live
up to from now on a big job.

Motherhood First Thought
Among the British People
The London Telegraph Trades
Union congress, meeting the first
week of September at Blackpool, was
a most important one. Much of its
attention was devoted to the-. new
problems arising from the entrance of
women into new industrial fields. The
advance program at hand shows that
they were not only to debate whether
motherhood is to be supported by the
state, but that the Bookbinders' union
would ask the congress to declare that
the introduction of female labor on
government work formerly performed
by men is a violation of the House of
Commons fair wages resolution, if the
wages paid are less than the recog
nized trades union standard.
The brassworkers and metal me
chanics planned to move that no re
laxation of trades union rules Shall
admit women to unsuitable occupa
tions like those involving carrying or
turning over heavy weights, or by
heavy foot pressure, hot and dusty
trades where lime, fine sand and em
ery, etc., are used, or where heavy
machinery produces abnormal fatigue,
or on machines where when men were
used there was a larce number nf ac
cidents. .This resolution was in the
interest, thev sav. of the future nf
motherhood and the present health
of the nation. The con OTPS was tn

War Rations for
Travelers None
Too Tempting
It is altogether probable that many
who have traveled every winter in the
past will not do so this season, under
pressure from the high costs of living,
the economize-and-help-win-the-war
cry, and the patriotic urge that
prompts to buy Liberty bonds, says
Kathleen Hills in Leslie's. On the
other hand, there are always those
with plenty of money and time who
will travel no matter what happens.
And perhaps in these days they ar&
wise, for there are many things that
most of us are trying to forget
many of us have parted with loved
ones who may never come back;
some at least will want to forget the
nerves that the excitements of these
days have reminded them so forcibly
they possess. Travel as a balm for
wounds has been found to satisfy and '
soothe and woo forgetfulness.
Lots of things in this winter's jour
ney may be changed, but, war or no
war, America's wonders still remain,
as attractive as ever. No war, no
matter how cataclysmic, can rob the
Grand Canyon of its power to thrill
the spectator; there would be no mil
itary value in besieging the Apache
Trail country, and making democracy
save the Germans' from themselves
could not be settled in Yosemite Val
ley. No, the old America-first places
are just as attractive as ever, or more
so by reason of their remoteness from
war's alarms. But getting to them
may not be as comfortable as hereto
fore. ,
The railroads are too busy with
more serious affairs than catering to
the mere seeker after pleasure.
High Cost of Living Is
Ousted by Riverview Home
The youngsters at the Riverview
Detention Home raised 50 bushels of
potatoes this year in their garden,
near the home, and reared 250 chick-
ens, 30 sgeese and 25 ducks to supply
their table during the winter.
The girls at the home put up 200
quarts of jams and jellies for the win
ter, under the supervision of Mrs.
Sexton in charge of the home, and
Miss Francis Morris, cook. The
girls also preserved 50 quarts of sweet ,
corn, 25 quarts of peas and 25 quarts
of beans. .
The garden produced 150 bushels of
field corn to feed the chickens, 25
bushels of tomatoes, several bushels
of carrots.. 10 bushels of parsnips and
15 bushels of winter onions. The
home is well stocked for the winter x
from its own garden and chicken
yard. - s
Start Drive for Aged
Clergy Fund Sunday,
A year ago the Methodists of Ne

tional work. Last May the dates for

forces throughout the state are now
