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.

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

wardrobe is the one who will create
the most pleasing impression of
coolness on warm days. F. W.

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

which will make these days far more
enjoyable it's called the "Vestoff In

has a new line of good-looking hats
for summer weather.-

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

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.

red-letter one on the calendar, for they
are so fascinatingly pretty that they're
bound to bring undiluted joy. The

are primrose, orchid, lavendar, tur

the biggest surprise is the price

There are colored bead chains to

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.

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.

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

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. .

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
