KUM pads" was the house- ioId word, next to Red ross," last week in the majority of loval Omaha households. Oakum pads, as The Bee explained once before, are hempy ma terial, strongly saturated with a dis infectant, which are filled into gauze pads. These are placed on open wounds of soldiers. Seventeen thousand of them was an emergency order made upon Mrs. O. C. Redick recently, so a small army of additional women Red Cross workers was recruited to fill the order. Miss Gertrude Young, who has charge of All Saints' church group of women who arc helping to make the oakum pads, was riding on the Far nam street line with abox of oakum to be converted into the pads. A woman sitting near her eyed the box with interest for awhile, theji, ex cusing herself, took a scat next to Miss Young and asked: "WTould you mind telling me where you take your hair to be made up? I have a lot of combings I would like to make into a switch, but I am a stranger in town and do not know where to go." So much for the looks of the oakum. Mrs. Franklin A. Shotwell tells a good story i.bout the smell of it. "It smells just like mange cure to me," said Mrs. Shotwell. "Some time ago I used some of the mange cure on my cat, much to her dislike. One day when I came home from the Baird building, where we were making oakum, pads, my cat refused to come near me. I called and called her but she flew upstairs and hid under the bed. I could not account for it, but concluded it was because she smelted the oakum on my clothes and mistook it for the mange cure." Mis' Joseph F.

And, indeed, some yoilc arc doing; that very thing. But, ala,'?, how about the all-over, llowmg Kind, or the harem veil or the bird cage veil! No more conventional patterns in the smart manufacturer' work room. They are all tdd, stray, cubist and whatnots. U you have a big vild rose or Strawberry or bug (in your veil) on one cheek and trailing vinesbug legs or wisps running hither thither without system, like the streets of Atlanta, then yco are following the dictates of fashion. Large square, or round, veils with dots and designs are thrown over "picture shapes" and small toques alike and they are to flow and ripple and blow with the wind. Variations. A great many of these newest creations are of chantilly lace. They are not contined to the solid blacks and whites, but come in taupes, blues in fact most any color desired. ' The harem veil has been "in" for some time, but there are, as yet, no signs of it "going out." This veil is worn' with a small, rather military hats, drawn across the face just below the eyes and fastened to the back of the hat. They fall rather loosely trom the nose down, exactly like the harenvveils of the Dr. 0. S. Hoffman and W. A.

A few women simply wear their herself an orphan, and so he wrote his j sman hats close to the face and show no hair at all, unless a plain, tightly-tolded mesh ; but this style wants a flawless com plexion and irreproachable wouth. But, fairest one, be very sure that your eyes are large and beautiful and well fringed; or that tley. are unusually attrac tive. They must be your best feature, else these harem veils play queer tricks on Milady. Hats and Hair. The fur-crowned hat is being worn generally, sometimes with a brim of satin or velvet, sometimes as a toque with just a roll of velvet or a band oC brocade or cloth of silver or gold. With the exception ot the pyramid-shaped crown, the high. story. The mother of the pretty little pro moter of the ball for the orphans was justly indignant. "My daughter has never been an orphan, because I'm her mother," she telephoned local newspapers. C. S. Connor no longer feels him self proposessing or Chestertieldish since Friday night. And it is all due to the fact that the Orpheum management will not allow cars parked in front of the building. Mr. Connor let his party out at the entrance of the theater and drove down the block in search of a park ing place. As members of his family started toward the building the door man said, "Back at 10:45, chauffeur?" Heard at the Press Club Dinner. Cub Reporter "Do you know this is the first time I ever saw Joy Sut phen when he wasn't 'caged?'" Not So Much Rouge. Women with dark hair and a quite white mesh in front make the most of the contrast, and arrange their complexions accordingly. Patches are worn by some, powder by all, rouge by a good many; but the girls in good society make up less than they did. Women are still as careful as ever about their hands. But feet are fearfully and wonderfully shod in dainty boots with high heels and light cloth tops. The popularity of fur increases as the cold weather comes, and muffs are carried more generally. The new ones are very small, barrel-shaped in some cases, oblong in others A small bag or purse is carried with a muff, either on the wrist or in the hand. The voluminous bag has quite gone out, and so has the large sized leather one. Either a little silk thing, or a shiny leather purse on a short chain or strap, is worn for every day matters; for the theater, bead bags, gold, silver, or platinum, but nothing obtrusive, , : ;
