Omaha Girl Volunteer for
Women's "Plattsburg"
The "Plattsburg for women" at
Vassar college is calling many a yoI
unteer and girls all over our broad
land have heard the clear notes of
the reveille and stand ready to an
swer their country's call for nurses.
This three months' course in nurs
ing, conducted by Vassar, gives tne
future nurse a good foundation for
the theoretical side of the training,
as the lecture courses, the laboratory
work and the study of chemistry are
completely covered.
- The volunteer is then ready for
the hospital work, thus releasing the
older nurses now serving in the hos
pitals for work overseas.
tyiss Ruth McDonald, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Henry McDonald, who
has filed her application for entrance
to the camp, is most enthusiastic and
she expresses the sentiment of Amer
ican womanhood when she speaks of
the work. This patriotic girl feels that
the greatest need-today, aside from
fighting men, is the trained nurse,
and, although she might not choose
this occupation in peace times, she
stands ready and waiting to fit herself
to relieve, in a small measure, the
sufferings of the world.
Miss McDonald is a graduate of
Mr. John Morrison left Friday for
Camp Taylor to join the Omaha am
bulance company.
- Mrs. George H. Payne, who spent
the winter in Phoenix, Ariz., is ex
pected home June 1.

canteen worker ordered to report for

convenient to have dinner at the club
before beginning the afternoon's
game and ISO golfers ventured out

ENTERTAIN MISS BRAIDEN.
As Miss Marian Braiden's visit is
drawing to a close, Saturday and
Sunday were busy days. Her hostess,
Miss Helen Walker, entertained at
luncheon in her honor Saturday and
a number of the young girls and offi-

Saturday evening, motoring out to
the Country club for the dance after
ward. Two of the balloon school
officers entertained in Miss Braiden's
honor today at luncheon at the Fon

times together will say goodby re

Rochelle.

This is not a "blue" story in the
general sense of the word. Don't
worry, the "blues" of which this is
the subject is quite cheerful enough
to dispel the most aggravated case
of them, for it is a tale of "blue"
clothes.
Good taste, which at the present
moment rules the fashion world, has
given us the loveliest garments this
season of blue and navy blue at that,
which of all colors is universally the
most becoming one to all femininity.
The practicalness and economies of
the war may be responsible for this
general attack of the "blues," for if
one wishes to dress with patriotic
thrift, one can do no better than to
accept this truly "bread-and-butter"
color.
Service Sailors.
The neat, trim, little service
sailors of rough, blue straw, which
we meet here, there and everywhere,
are so chic and becoming that we
are inclined to cheerfully assume any
wartime work for the privilege of
wearing one, and with the interesting
addition of the long, chiffon -veil to
flaunt its blueness to the breeze
from one of these smart hats, we may
pleasantly go about our activities
with the knowledge that we are look
ing not only patriotic, but picur
esquely graceful.
There is a variety of different
"trims" for the blue sailor; one that
is highly favored is the soft scarf of
dotted or spotted foulard, laid in soft
folds to circle the crown. A taffeta
sash with silk fringe is also very at
tractive as a trimming.
Blue Chapeaux.
This week there arrived from one
of the smart Madison avenue shops
the newest of blue chapeaux and they
are so altogether charming that any
girl or woman will be proud to wear
one. New York and Chicago women
have already hailed with delight these
hats of soft navy blue georgette and
they are bound also to win the ad
miration of Omaha women. A large
showcase in one of our millinery
shops shows about a dozen different
versions of navy georgette hats. One
very piquant, broad-brimmed model
is bouna with patent leather, while
the crown boasts a single narrow
band of the same, finished with two
miniature tailored bows.
It must have been a brave spirit
who dared the combination of navy
georgette with pink printed calico,
but there it is, as pretty as you please,
in a poke bonnet of old-time quaint
ness. The crown is made of calico,
with criss-cross stitches of blue silk,
while the brim is of navy blue geor
gette, a sash of the calico with blue
yarn fringe adding a clever finish.
Blue Frock.
Almost every woman is planning
to add at least one navy-blue frock
to her summer wardrobe, and there
has never been seen before such a va
riety of beautiful, sheer summer ma
terials in 'this color as our store
counters and ready-to-wear depart
ments display.
For occasions which demand a
dressy frock there is indestructible
voile, a fabric with a tone of rare re
finement. This exquisite cool fabric
is shown in the new Batik, as well as
the popular foulard designs.
To own a frock of navy blue voile,
either in a tiny dotted coin or cluster
dotted, or figured pattern, is one of
the Tleasantest things which could
happen to the summer girl of 1918,
particularly if it is happily adorned
with collar and cuffs of crispy white
organdy.
One of our large department stores
has a most interesting collection"" of
navy blue silk skirts. The "rain
drop" is the name appropriately at
tached to a very stunning one of ra
dium silk, which as the gentle rain of
summer starts with tiny drops; as
they descend to the hem of the skirt,
grow as large as huge hailstones.
. Stockings.
Of course, stockings are an impor
tant item along with the costume of
navy blue, and the hosiery sections
are now showing many lovely new
designs. In the very front rank of
beauty are stockings of very sheer,
lacy patterns, or occasionally clocked
with self-tone or white silk.

THAT delightfully girlish fabric organdy has rebelled against the two-yard
-- limit of skirt fashion without being declared unpatriotic, because the
broad fields of the south are producing cotton which the manufacturers are
weaving into an indefinite variety of substitutes for wool, so badly needed by
our soldiers and sailors. Indeed, many of these quaint organdy frocks look like
the costume of a southern heroine in a war-time play of 1861. The skirts
are gathered and the waists usually of the "quaint" type. This model of pink
organdy is trimmed with deep tucks, through which old blue ribbon is run,
as in a casing. The rolled collar is similarly treated. A white vestee and sash
of old blue gros grain ribbon complete a picturesque and dainty frock. Take
notice, please! These organdy frocks 6hould be worn only by young girls,
or the very slender woman, who retains her "girlish figure." The stiffness of
organdy will accentuate the size of the larger woman.
Mrs. Fred Hamilton and her help
ers, who are selling an automobile for
the Red Cross, spent the day on the
South Side. They have already gath
ered in $1,000 on the amount.
A group of sailors from the recruit
ing station have been assisting the
workers. The machine, a seven-passenger
touring car, is on display part
of the time at Harney and Sixteenth
streets.
Mrs. E. C. Twamley, chairman of
Happy Hollow Red Cross auxiliary,
has called a meeting at the club house
for the afternoon of June 5. At that
time decision will be made for work
during the summer.
Mrs. Helen Clark of Fairbury,
Neb., came to Omaha Sunday to take
examinations for clerical work
abroad. She was given a high per

ice in this branch.
A warning is issued by the civilian

It is suggested that in replying to
a hurried call for funds, the money
be sent in care of the Red Cross field
director at the camp or cantonment
where the soldier is stationed. If the
one to whom the money is sent has
left that place the director will for
ward it to him. Another safeguard
is to send the amount in care of the
company commander or of the chaplain.

Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair
Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair look
ing its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use Is
just ordinary mulsified coeoanut oil
, (which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub
it in. It makes an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, which rinses out
easily, removing every particle of
f'esi , dirt, dandruff and excessive oil.
The hair dries quickly and evenly,
and it leaves the scalp soft, and the
hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified coeoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
ber of the family for months. Adv.
