President Wilson on the Fourth of July: "I should be very sorry to see Fourth of July celebra tions omitted this year of all years. But at the same time, I think they should take the simplest and most dignified form, and that it would be in the public interest as well as eminently good taste to make them as inexpensive as possible. As July 4, 1776, was the dawn of democracy for this nation, let us on July 4, 1918, celebrate the birth of a new and greater spirit of democracy." .

Robert Burns, was in an automobile accident Wednesday evening while driving with her father, Mr. H. K. Gould. The machine which Miss Gould was driving smashed into a telephone post, damaging the car to some extent, but both Miss Gould and her father fortunately were unin jured. things that would give us a thrill here, are very commonplace in the lands across the seas. The Casino,, which was a second Monte Carlo in the gay days before the war, is now a Young Man's Chris tian canteen and soft drinks are now served to the uniformed patrons across the famous bar. Bicycles are provided for the sol diers and they greatly enjoy their sightseeing trips over 'the beautiful roads near the city. Their evenings of song are very popular, also. The men take great pleasure in gathering about a piano and singing everything from little "homey" ballads to popu lar tunes. Burns-Gould Wedding Plans. The wedding of Miss Katherine Gould and Captain Robert Burns which will take place Saturday eve ning at All Saints' church, promises to be one of the prettiest of the mili tary weddings. Probably, the most attractive feature will be its sim plicity, for the formal invitations which we usually associate with white satin and brides will not be issued, Miss Gould and Captain Burns just inviting their friends in an informal way to attend the ceremony. Bishop Arthur L. Williams will read the "marriage lines. After the ceremony Captain Burns and his pretty bride will be whisked away to the borne ot Mr. and Mrs. Charles T. Kountze, where the most delightful little party imaginable will be given in their honor, the guests including a few of their most intimate friends. This ltle "after the wedding" party will be just to say goodbye, and to wish this charming couple happiness, for they will , leave on a late train Saturday evening.

The -1 little girl dressed in pink silk, who came out of one of the dream pack ages in Carrie Jacob Bond's charm ing "Sleepy Song," was the favorite fantasy of many of us when we were"; small children. . ' "Once upon a time" as the fairy stories all begin, children were prac tically all dressed alike. A glimpse backward at . the portraits in our museums proves this but nowadays, ' there is as much ebb and flow in juvenile j costumery as in that of grownups. The dress, coat and hat -worn last season are quite passe by the time the new season begins.- The different children's departments ' in the Omaha stores are showing . styles in frocks that certainly accentu-' ate a note of feminine charm for -little girls. Charminsr Frnrks for Wm MaSrlena. The other day I was in one of our shops in quest of xlothes for a wee woman ot m summers, ine young , salesgirl brought forth such an en ticing array of dainty dresses that verily it was a most difficult matter to make a choice. I'd almost decided " nn a rnsv. rnral French vnil h. cause of the exquisite hand touches ' which its creator had bestowed on it the bit of smocking under the shaped yoke; the collar and cuffs of pale blue voile, finished with button holing and tiny crotched edging, and the fussy little smocked . pockets then when she produced a striking " blue plaid gingham, the skirt of which was brought up in points to meet a cunning, hemstitched blouse of crispy, white organdy, I immediately began to waver in my decision. - ? One does not often connect laven- , der with 10-year-olds, but one of the smartest dresses I saw that day had a quaint little jacket of violet batiste, nnisnea witn loose, coarse pansy-purr pie buttonholing, -which accompanied ' a 4 white skirt generously sprinkled with lavender dots. v - For the small maiden of plump pro portions, I cannot imagine anything prettier, than one long-waisted dress of the Mandarin type, made of fine . white striped madras embroidered in oldAlue. ' -x Sweaters for Petite Filles. Every 10-year-old girl's wardrobe' should boast of at least one sweater. The stores have some charming little girl versions of this popular sport garment. There is the sleeveless kind, purled at the waist linewith a con trasting shade of yarn just exactly like "big sister's." Angora collars are attached to some of these miniature ' sweaters, while sashes also play an important part There are practical . sweaters made of soft dark blue and red yarn, suitable for play times.
