I Society From Washington Bnreao, of The Omaha Bee, 1311 O Street. SUMMER plans and early get-aways have most of them been set aside in disappointment so far as the congressional set is con cerned, since congress has been given a fresh dose of work. The women as a rule will re main with their husbands and fathers until they can go home. They are all worn out this week with the strenuous work of the second Red Cross war fund, the drive for which closed in great brilliance Monday night. The Liberty Hut, which is about a third of the great auditorium built last fall for Billy Sunday, was the scene of the windup of the Dis trict Red Cross committee, and the Belasco theater was the scene of a Red Cross benefit given by the offi cials and clerks of the Panama' com mission. The president and Mrs. Wilson, ac companied by their usual little family party, occupied their box at the latter benefit A large and picturesque corps of Red Cross collectors were on hand there, the most important one of all being a tiny tot, 5 years( old, Hazel Sylvia McKinley, dressed ex actly as her elders of the corps, in a nurse's costume of cool grav ging ham, with white collars, cuffs and aprons, and short gray veils, with the bright red crosses stamped upon the front of the caps and on their aprons. These are the clerical forces of both government and civil life, who have taken the course of training in Red Cross classes, but are hot graduate nurses. The tiny nurse was asked for by the president, and he reserved his i five-dollar bill for her basket. m and Mrs. Wilson detained her in their box for some little time, chatting and lauehinff with her. She was ouite the hit of the evening and pinned a I upon the president's coat before she left the box. Mrs. Wilson knitted diligently between the acts. She has mastered the art of handling her needles with skill, without looking at her work. She was lovely that evening in a gown of white satin, made with a demi train, and a bodice of soft white tulle. The neck was square and decolette, outlined with rhine stones, which edged the sleeves, which hung to the elbow. A large American rose was pinned at her belt, the only touch of color. Her mother and sister sat just behind them in the box, and Miss Boiling kept the back of the president's head cool all the evening, fanning it constantly with a program. It was one of the hottest nights of the season. Saunders Family to Omaha. Mrs. Alvin Saunders and her grand son, William Henry Harrison third, left Washington vesterdav for the Saunders home in Omaha. They wilU be joined there next month some time by Mrs. Russell Harrison, with whom Mrs. Saunders has spent the winter, and they will of course go to the Saunders farm for the remainder of the summer. Young Mr. Harrison, who has been refused for service in the army on account of his failure to pass the physical examination, will go "ranching" again this year as he did last summer, with the earnest hope that he may get strong enough to eventually be accepted. Mrs. D. C. Stapleton of Omaha who has now one of the handsomest of the Massachusetts avenue homes in Washington, has had some guests with her most of the time during Mr. Stapleton's absence in South America. He is expected back in another week or 10 days, "and then they will make some plans for getting away to the sea coast for the remainder of the summer. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hamil ton, of Omaha went ta New York last week after a visit with Mrs. Stapleton. Mrs. Jack Barber of Phoenix, Ariz., sister of Mrs. Staple ton, has been with her for several weeks, and constantly entertained by the Stapletons friends here. She went on to New York today to visit before returning home. j Entertain for, Mrs. Barber. 31 rs. Smyth, wife of Judge Con slantine J. Smyth of Omaha, now liv- i.re r-.ii rrlced at a luncheon 1 for Mrs. Barber last week and Mrs ' : ' ' lN - ":' DEAR WOMEN: The leafy month of June is here and the beautiful fresh-air fashions of summer time which have been blooming in the shop windows, are now appearing on verandas of homes and country clubs. I overheard a woman, who had been attendant at several of our previous summer club openings, remark that she had never seen so many, truly interesting styles, as were shown at last Saturday's evening dance. "The girls in their light, frilly dresses, made a veritable flower garden," she said, "and old-time quaintness seemed to be blended with the spirit of today in the bewilderingly pretty colored or gandies, with flowing sleeves and fichus, which intermingled with the sleeveless coatees and sweaters, bril liant colored silk skirts, and other smart fashions which are typical of the realm,of sports, the clique of ten nis and golf." Yes, despite war-time activities, summer styles are even more varied and beautiful than in ante-bellum days. France, to whom we still look for our loveliest of fashions, though obliged to look economy straight in the face, has sought her inspiration from the depths of centuries of art. and used her cleverest and best tricks in creating these summer time fash ions for us. Dinner gowns of black lace are favored. " , TO YOU who would give to the bride! Did you ever stop to think that the gift you buy, and where you buy it makes for happiness or dis appointment The seeker after the gift that is "different" is sure to be pleased with the rare and unusual gift presen tations displayed for June brides in the W. H. Eldridge Importing Com pany's beautiful Oriental shop at 1318 Farnam. There are lamps, distinctive and artistic which will add decorative value to any home. Oriental art the kind that has a history attached, lovely vases, bronzes, embroidered and painted Japanese screens, pieces of wonderful needlework. Even though one is not buying, it's a perfect joy to browse about in this interesting shop. . BOLTS and bolts of the most entic ing fabrics you ever saw are piled on the shelves and counters of the dress goods section at Thompson Belden's waiting for someone to come along and transform them into sweet, airy, summer frocks. All of the flower colors are shown in fine English voiles at 75c a yard, while voiles and tissues in stripe and plaid effects so voguishly stunning in the new dark colors, at 50c and $1 a yard. Then there are those silk-cotton crepc-de-chines, which are silkily sheer, like butterfly wings these come in dots and small floral patterns at $1, and exquisite embroidered voiles at $1.25 and $1.50. Much tulle is used for hat trimming. rXHE girl who has plenty of white X tubable skirts in her summer wardrobe is the one who will create the most pleasing impression of coolness on warm days. F. W. Thome's Uo-Farnam Street Shnn an ensemble of very fetching new. wash skirts, very reasonably priced at $1.95, $2.45, $4.50, $5.45 and $8.50. The materials are gabardine, basket weave, pique and Ottoman cloth. You'll be delighted with their good tailoring and style-difference. - THE bridal bouquets in colonial effects and other lovely combi nations, suitable as well for com mencements, which John Bath, Flor ist, at 1804 Farnam, creates are ex quisite bits of art. And oh I I wish" you could see his lovely basketsl v If you want something really out-of-the-ordinary in flower arrangements, be sure to see Mr. Bath. He takes spe cial pride and delight in designing things a bit '"different" to happily surprise the recipient, f AND speaking of the popular "less" days, the male population will be soon observing "vestless days," for warm davs are upon us. Lucien Stephens' "Shop for Men, 1901 Farnam street, has a brand new suspender which will make these days far more enjoyable it's called the "Vestoff In visible Suspender," the price is 50c, or for extra leifgth, 60c. He also has a new line of good-looking hats for summer weather.- . 4 .. Stapleton gave a large tea in her honor on Saturday. Tuesday evening Mrs. David K. McCarthy gave a the ater party followed by supper with dancing for her, and Mrs. George E. Hamilton, wife of one of the leading bankers of Washington, gave a beau tiful luncheon in her honor on Tues day in the splendid country home "Stone Ridge" near Bethesda, Md, Captain, Charles Hamilton, United States army, nephew of Mrs. D. C. Stapleton, is visiting in the Stapleton home just now. Judge and Mrs. Smyth left this week for Omaha, where they will spend the greater part of the summer. Their daughter, Miss Katherine Smyth, went to New York on Tues day. Mrs. Harry A. Williams, jr. of Nor folk, who, with her three little daugh ters has spent the past two months with her mother, Mrs. Russell Harri ron, returned to her home on Thurs day. Mr. Williams spent tne last week end with his family. His mother died a L?ets June with her roses And other fair posies Hat come o'er the hilltops to day Sweet month o' fair flowers And rose scented bowers We wish you had longer to stay. With wedding bells chiming Quite well we're opining You've much "up your sleeve" to disclose For war wedding parties For maids and their hearties Unfold like the leaves o' a rose. AS SURELY as come the rare June days, come the brides in sweet attire I How gratifying it must be. for the bride to know that there is a store in Omaha, to which she can turn, wth the surety of obtaining everything she needs for her trous seau, and going-away outfit! And whether she's to be a war bride, and thus gowned in the simplest white frock, or whether it's to be a grand church wedding and her gown must "shine richly white in the church's half light," there are trousseaux which be speak her and her wedding day. The Brandeis Stores have made a special effort this season, to obtain the very daintiest, the very quintessence of lovely things I I know for I've been doing lots of shopping this week for brides, and I found it so satisfactory to choose a complete trousseau right in this one store. Never have silken undergarments been more lovely than those which the bride of this Juhe 'may choose. Gloves, handkerchiefs, picture hats or tiny bonnets, suits and skirts, sports apparel and smart shoes and silk stockings are all at Brandeis' for the dear bride's enchanted choos ing. : "Navy blue" is much -in ikvnand for blouses, separate skirts, hosiery and hats. N3 MATTER 1iow hasty the wed ding, it is the prerogative of every bride to have a few sets of those exquisite, filmy, lacy, frilly things which she has always dreamed would some day come into her pos session. Lamond's smart second-floor shop in the Securities Building, has just added a line of the most beautiful crepe-de-chine and iPhillipine hand embroidered undertnings. Envelope chemise, in both tailored and lace trimmed styles in wash satin, or a good quality of crepe-de-chine, dainty "Lucilles," which in reality are che mises, though they pose as allied bloomers" and camisoles. Then there are nighties, pettibockers and cami soles all just too adorable for words! And best of all, unusually reasonable. Tulle arjd chiffon scarfs are bor dered with, fine colored check silk net. WHETHER the wedding be a for mal church affair, or one of those hasty marriages, which take place when the bridegroom is graciously granted a few days furlough by an in dulgent government, flowers are al ways an essential part of it. Lee Lar mon, the Fontenelle Florist, is special-' izing now on war-time wedding ar rangements. If a quiet home affair, he has simple flower arrangements to give the rooms that atmosphere of intimacy which is so charming, when only the family and a few friends are present. For formal weddings, he has arrangements which may be as elab-v orate as one may wish. Brides and bridesmaids' boquets are things "to be always remembered" if arranged by this florist. Young girls are wearing flowered silks for evening affairs. WJAT a joy! What a satisfaction to know that we do not have -to risk our beautiful draperies and hangings to home-cleaning processes. Oft-times they are made of materials which will not stand washing, and should be dry cleaned in order to re store them to their original lustre and beauty. Let me advise you to call the Pantorium should you wish any work of this kind done, for they certainly do it in a scientific and thorough manner moreover, they guarantee satisfaction or no pay. Call Douglas 963 and their automobile will be there in a jiffy. Bead bags in bright, glowing colors are very good, indeed. Peplum blouses are much liked and so are Cossack and other styles that are worn outside the skirt. month ago in Norfolk. Mrs. Harri son took an active part last week in the Red Cross drive acting as one of the silent sentinels on F street. She is a member of the Red Cross unit of Mrs. William C. Gorgas, wife of the suregon gene.ral, United States army. INFORMAL ENTERTAINING The Misses Gladys and Daphne Peters will entertain at a tea Tuesday afternoon at their home. Mr. Harry Byrne enterained a din ner party at Happy Hollow club Sat urday evening when his guests in cluded Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Byrne of Lincoln and Miss Edith Hamilton. Ten thousand women of New York City are to be enlisted in a women's police reserve corps. Polish girls of New York have en rolled in a corps of Polish Amazons to aid in the recruiting of Polish Americans for the Polish armv in France 1 do s'hopjpirv tyfblA -Poll And even the old tune The "Here Comes the Bride" tune Has changed just a bit o' it's score And today we all sing it While wedding bells ring it Why "There Goes the Groom" Off to war. Now hurried up marriages Dispense with carriages, For they are o' things long gone by For it's automobile time Or some other wheel time Or maybe the groom's "on the fly." WHEATLESS. meatless, lightless " and other "less" days have not brought us much happiness, but a day when one might wear one of those new "sleevless" knitted silk slip-ons. which are arrivals of the week at F. W, Thome's, 18 12 Farnam, should be a red-letter one on the calendar, for they are so fascinatingly pretty that they're bound to bring undiluted joy. The shades the loveliest you ever saw! are primrose, orchid, lavendar, tur quoise, apricot and Quaker gray. But the biggest surprise is the price only $7.85. There are colored bead chains to wear with every costume. VISITED a newly enlarged de partment in. Orchard & Wil helm's this week in connection with their Gift Shop and department of interior decoration, where some very high-grade lamp shades were being made. It was quite fascinating to sit and watch the many lovely fabrics silks, embroidered Georgettes, Chi nese embroideries and brocades be ing converted into shades which in point of beauty resembled French party gowns; in fact, the makers were putting the same thought and effort into their work as the couturiers put into theirs. I noted some very beau tiful new hiotifs being used Egyp tian, Chinese and Dresden effects. These were put in for their own man ufacture of lamp shades, but I believe they could be persuaded to sell them to the home craftsman; they range in price from $1.10 to $11 a yard. A white organdy frock is pretty trimmed with bandj of yellow. A REVIVAL of the miniature picture brooch of Civil War days is at tracting considerable attention from passersby who stop to gaze in a window of Albert Edholm's Jewelry Store, where is featured a display of military jewelry. A small, round 14 kaat gold frame forms the setting for your soldier boy's picture. These brooches are very unique and attract ive. Children and grandchildren will reverently handle souvenirs such as these. Remember, I'm always happy to help you out with ideas and to do your shopping for you. Be sure to state price, size and as many details as possible when writing to me, and kindly enclose stamp for a reply. Purchases will be sent C. O. D. unless accompa nied by a check or Money Order. POLLY THE SHOPPER, Omaha Bee. WEST AMBLER Mrs. E. W. Miller of Lincoln, Neb., who has been the guest of Miss Marie Carlson, left Monday. Mrs. Frank Potter and son, Clare, have returned from Hastings, Mr. Potter and Vernon remaining there to work for the summer. Mrs. M. J. Clarey arrived Saturday from Los Angeles, Cal., to spend the summer with her son, M. Clarey. Mrs. W. R. Blackett, wife of Ser geant Blackett, who had a successful operation at the Nicholas Senn hos pital, returned home Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hensman leave Tuesday evening for a visit with rel atives at Carter and Creighton, Neb. Mrs. M. A. Freeman, who has been the guest of her sister, Mrs. W. A. Webber, left for her home at Gris wold, la., on Monday. Mrs. Frank Dunn and children left In such times as these Shops strive hard to please And whether her gown be of white Bright satin, or serge She's sure to emerge In what she well knows is "just right." So here is a tip To save you a trip Pray let me assist in the flurry For nothing I say Makes me feel quite so gay As in outfitting brides In a hurry. y THEY look like full-blown sum mer flowers, they are so deli cate and beckoning in color," some one appropriately remarked about the new organdy frocks displayed in Thompson-Belden's windows this week. One very quaint model of daffodil yellow, with a bit of baby blue for a sash, seemed to attract un usual attention, for it looked for all the world as though it had stepped out of Grandma's "Lady's Godey Book." with its beruffled fichu, and the tiny succession of ruffles on the skirt. And I was surprised when I went upstairs and saw a similiar model, to learn how reasonably priced are these lovely summer-time gowns. All the exquisite flower shades are represented and the styles are varied. I love those with sashes the very kind we used to like to wear with our party dresses when we were wee girls. The high draped girdle is very smart. AD-BAGS." Have you seen them? The very last word in Bagdom! I saw an array of gad bags at The Alia Shop, 218 South 18th Street. They're made of Chinese-woven straw, lined, if you please, with pretty figured chintz and trimmed with beads and tassels. Un derrated, these bags are $1.25. With all the fixin's, $2.50. This shop also has a lot of those useful straw petaca or envelope bags, 4ii which you may carry your lunch, your Red Cross apron or what not 35c to 75c, un trimmcd; 75c to $1.25 trimmed. Loose-hanging back panels are in evidence on black satin frocks, j . WHAT the serge dress was to the winter wardrobe, the foulard frock is to the summer wardrobel It's intrinsic actual usefulness cannot be denied. Herzberg's Women's Tog gery, 1517 Douglas, has some very smart new rocks in foulard, charm ingly allied with Georgette, which are certain to appeal to women who are fond of individuality in dress. One model which appealed to me as being gem-like in its character, has a three tier skirt of navy Georgette banded with polka-dotted foulard. The dots of the underbodice peep from 'neath a covering of the Georgette, which is ornanented with miniature .red but tons and gold loops. A waistcoat to match the hat is a smart idea. AS OUR good friend Riley says, "When God sorts out the weather and sends rain, why rain's my choice." The new raincoats at F. W. Thome's, 1812 Farnam, are emphatically such pleasant companions for rainy days, that if you own one, you'll positively long for wet weather. "Silverrane" which comes in lovely shades of old rose, blue and gray, is a new rain proof fabric of dressy appearance. The coats in this come at $12.50. Fine striped silk poplins, swagger English plaids in rubberized mohair come at $12.50 and $14.75. There are some very neat raincoats priced at $5.95. Blue cornflowers make a very charming trimming for a white Geor gette hat seen in a Millinery Shop window. DELICATE organdy and Georgette frocks may be saved from that under-arm stain by the use of Pers pirigiene, an astringent and antiseptic 1 odorless lotion that closes the pores just enough to prevent excessive pers piring. It is priced at 50c. Curodor, a summer toilet powder requisite, priced at 25c, is invaluable for its cooling, soothing qualities, and for its many uses. These may both be obtained at The Franco-American Toilet Requi site Shop, 772 Brandeis Building. . Tucks are first choice in trimming for the light summer frocks. the first of the week for a visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. Seaman, at St. Joseph, Mo. Mrs. Josie Crouch of Merton, Wis., who has been the guest of Miss Ella Roberts and aunt, Mrs. J. Blake in Eckerman, left Thursday evening for St. Louis, Mo. Rudolph Johnson has gone to Nora, Neb., to spend few weeks with his mother, Mrs. Jane Johnson, and sis ter, Esther Johnson. The West Side Red Cross met at the church on Wednesday of this week instead of Thursday. The Ladies' Aid society will meet on Thursday next, to quilt all day. Miss L. Todd of Kansas City, Mo., was the week-end guest of Miss Marie Carlson and mother. Beats school was highly honored on Wednesday afternoon by having the Grand Army quartet, 'comprising Comrades Haverly, Russell, Staley and Johnson, who sang several pa triotia soqgs, each receiving a silk j " N Id I TJ OW a reputation for serving wholesomely cooked meals will tag one about 1 If you'll go Into the new Pierce Cafe, for instance, you'll see identically the same faces as. you saw at "The Flatiron" when ' Mrs. Pierce had that cafe in charge. It is no wonder, though, when one con siders how the pleasure of the appe tizing meals are enhanced by the cheerful hospitality and attentive service given it's the "just like) honieiness" which makes it so de lightfully inviting. Mrs. Tierce al ways makes it a point to secure the best quality of food, and under her able and personal direction it is care fully prepared and properly booked.; If you want a thoroughly satisfactory luncheon, or dinner, do by all means go to this cafe at 218 South 18th St., in the Hotel Keen. ON MY visits about town It is such a pleasure to meet with one who has found that joy in business which really makes it worth while. One of my weekly calls is on Mrs. D. A. Hill, the corset specialist "at 205 Neville Building. Not only does this lady have a thorough knowledge of the many corset models in her shop, but knows the particular style for one's type, which will produce a physiologically correct and artistic figure, and in these results lie the? great joy of accomplishment. Women who have been fitted to corsets by Mrs. Hill are loud in their praise of her conscientious work.-. " THE thing of most importance in tne conservative war-time trous seau is the tailored suit. As this must serve so many occasions, it is quite necessary that it be extremely smart and well tailored. To be assured of a garment cut on fashionable lines and absolutely perfect fitting, one must choose a tailor who is skilled in his art. Women, who have their tailored suits made by Klieeter, Ladies Tailor, 506 South Sixteenth Street,' are un stinted in their praises of his clever workmanship. Tlain and fancy vcfour are very fashionable for sports coats. . WHERE did you get them, my pretty maid" "1 got them at Napier's, ma'am", she said. And as she walked down the street, I could not but aiote the smartness of her dainty, white laced boots, with, their white ivory welt soles, and three fourths inch Cuban heeUj they were so absolutely perfect fitting, and of. that first quality of walking boot that fastidious women like. I did admire 1. . .1... T IJ -.A mem so mucn,1 inai i comu nywe frain from dropping into this fashion able Booterie in the Securities Build ing, to get further details to tell you about today.

Parasols are a very important item in a bride's trousseau. . BLUE birds for happiness! What a delightful thought to' be incor porated in a wedding presentl The blue birds I speak of are embroidered on lunch cloths and napkins a 45 inch cloth for $3,25 a 54-inch cloth for $4.50, each with six napkins. I saw these at the fascinating shop of the Nippon Importing Company, 218 South Eighteenth. Street. There are some very dainty china tea sets, too, which would surely maki any little bride happy. . .:,., Charming mourning hats are made of Georgette crepe.' j v- FASHION'S JUNE BLOSSOMS " ABLOOM IN THE SHOPS.
