Washington Bureau of Omaha Be
HORSE SHOWS are the last acts
of the summer play at the sum
mer resorts. In spite of the war
season and the great cry that resort
hotels were suffering from lack of
patronage, they were for the most
part filled with people of leisure.
Labor day will as usual see a turn
ing of the tide of travel towards
home. Almost every house, apart
ment or rented room of any descrip
tion in Washington has been either
engaged, or is already occupied for
the season, and the late-comers will
have a sorry time in finding comfort.
Washington saw a short season of
real gayety last week in the visit of
the special mission from Uruguay,
headed by the Minister of Foreign Af
fairs Dr. Baltasar de Brum. He had
party of five interesting men, includ
ing a new military attache of the le
gation here, Lieutenant Bcrisso. Sec
retary Lansing took Dr. Brum to the
White House, where he had tea with
the president and Mrs. Wilson, and
Secretary and Mrs. Lansing enter
tained him at dinner. Three of the
ambassadors returned to Washington
for the purpose of meeting Dr. de
Brum. They were the Brazilian am
bassador, Mr. da Gama; the Argentine
ambassador, Dr. Naon, and the Mexi
can ambassador, Senor Bonillas. -
The garden party in the Aztec Gar
den of the Pan-American building was
a veritable picture party on Monday
afternoon, with John Barrett, as host.
The heat was intense, making the
whole affair all the more tropical
in "atmosphere. " The parrots in the
aviary, through which all the guests
passed into the garden, shrieked their
loudest and shrillest, and the monkeys
put on their funniest faces and antics
and this pretty patio with the blue
sky for its canopy was a grateful rest
ing place between the hot walks at the
back and the front of the building.
Mrs. Lansing acted as hostess for the
bachelor, Mr. Barrett. The tables with
iced drinks and cool food were laid
on the facade overlooking the pool
of the "Sad Indian," and the sunken
gardens. The uniforms of thevallied
countries mingled with the pretty
clothes of the women and made a
comfortable and picturesque sight.
The cards of invitation called for
"informal dress," and all the men in
particular, observed it to the letter.
Even Major General Barnett, com
mandant of the marine
rine corps, punctil-
of-propcr raiment,
... '
ious in the matter
wore his khakis which had plainly
been washed and ironed, in preference
to his immaculate white with the gold
lace and other adornments of his
rank and attainments.
Dr. de Brum Entertains.
An innovation in the matter of
summer festivities was the brilliant
dinner party with 85 guests, given on
Wednesday evening by Dr. de Brum
of Uruguay, in honor of Secretary
Lansing, and as a return for the many
courtesies shown him. He was the
official guest at the State department.
He was offered the use of the Pan-
American building for his function
and the dinner was served in the Great
Hall of the Americas.
The President and Mrs. Wilson
have had a quiet week enjoying the
theater several times with small fam
ily parties, and having a short visit
from Mrs. McAdoo, wife of the sec
retary of the treasury, who came up
on Monday trom White sulphur
Springs.
Mrs. William Jennings Bryan spent
a few days in YVashington this week
with her son-in-law and daughter, Mr.
and Mrs. Richard L. Hargreaves, of
Lincoln, Neb., in their home, 1723
Connecticut avenue. She left Wednes
day for her summer home at Ashe
ville, N. C, to rest from v a rather
strenuous month or six weeks travel
ing through Pennsylvania and New
York state. She was making speeches
for the war council of the Y. W. C. A.
Mr. Hargreaves is in the naval re
serves and is not at all certain of his
orders so they may or may not re
main in Washington this winter.
1 Miss Ruth Hitchcock, daughter of
the senator from Omaha, accompan
ied by Miss Joan Ohl, has gone to
Swampscot, Mass., to make a visit of
a fortnight with Mrs. Hitchcock, who
has spent her summer at Little's
Point. Miss Ohl passed the last few
seasons in Washington with her
mother. They have lived nearly all
of Miss Ohl's life in Paris and Lon
don. Nebraska Girls Tea.
A pretty tea was given last Satur
day afternoon by some of the young
girl war workers from Nebraska, in
honor of Miss Lucile Fleming, of Ce
dar Bluffs, Neb., who left early this
week to spend her vacation at home.
Mrs. Norris, wife of the senator from
Nebraska; Mrs. C. Frank Reavis, wife
of the representative from Falls City,
Neb., and Mrs. Harvey Nelson,
daughter of Senator and Mrs. Norris,
chaperoned the party. They chose the
lovely surroundings of Mt. Alto Inn
for the party, which is in the winter,
the National School of Domestic Arts
and Science. The girl hostesses were
Miss Eugenia Weiss, Miss Nellie
Barry, Miss Pearl Reid, Miss Viola
Wetherill and Miss Hazel Norris,
daughter of the senator. Tea was
served in the Greek Temple and it
was one of the prettiest parties the
girls have had.

DEAR READERS: They're herel
So early, so ready 1 Ihe mes-
sengers of autumn, the ad-
vancieres of fashion. Yes, there is
certainly no lack of beautiful things
displayed in the shops these days. In-
fhoatand Sf lESnSSj
little accessories so dear to every
woman's heart, are especially enticing
as this new season opens.
If you're planning a shopping ex-
pedition, let me warn you to equip
yourself with a strong armor of reso-
lution, else you'll surely come home
with an empty pocketbook-for never
m all the modern history of feminine
apparel have clothes been so irresisti-
bly charming.
Mothers who are considering the
claims of the daughter going away
to boarding school, or college, will
be pleased with what the shops have to
offer in smart youthful garments.
Some of the buyers told me that they
realized what a serious indiscretion it
was not to have the "just right" things
to please "Little Miss Particular," so
they made a special effort in her be
half when they went east to buy this
year.
Although the. time is short, I'll be
delighted to assist my out-of-town
girl readers in the selection of things
for their school outfits. Do write 1

Dresses From a Famous Designer.
IN THE Whirligig of Clothes we
are always seeking something
with the stamp of "different
ness" about it. I find this particular
ly true of the fastidious young girl
who attends school or college and
for that reason I want her to know i
about "Madame Flanders'" Dresses.
Every garment made by this eastern
modiste spells "personality" with a .
capital P. How she manages it no v
one knows but with an unusual line '
here; an innovation in trimming
there; a little quirk in the adjust
ment of drapery and lol she lias a
frock that shows unmistakable char
acter. F. W. Thome's Style Shop, "
1812 Farnam, has just received sev
eral navy, serge "Flanders" Dresses
that are distinctively individual. One '.
which I admire very much has large
satin knitting bag pockets, embroid
ered in warm Indian shades of red
and blue yarn. It is a very beautiful
dress, but no more so than a tailored .
"silhouette" model, with accordion
plaited panels and trimmed with
heavy military braid. Both Dresses ;
priced, $34.75.

seen the Seventeenth Street Window '

girls in town are talking about then,
and longing to possess one they ar
so cleverly tailored so "tres mill- ,

belt, the buckles in fact, the very
same details are carried out in these

School Trunks.
SUCH splendid, big, roomy
trunks! each waiting and long- '
ing to be the chosen one to
carry off all those pretty frocks and ,
dresses on the schoolward journey. '
I saw them lined up for inspection
at Freling & Steinle's Luggage Shop,
1803 Farnam street, and was certain
ly pleased with their good-looking and
substantial appearance. These school
trunks are priced at $17 to $25. This
Shop also handles the genuine Hart- '
mann Wardrobe Trunk, which I
would particularly recommend to the
girl who has limited wardrobe space
in her room. It has all the conven
iences hi a chiffonier the patented
cushion top prevents wrinkles in "
dainty dresses and gives immediate '
access to the garments. Hartmann
Trunks are priced, $32.50, $35, $42.50,

dainty two-inch full Louis XV heel,
tjjat has an aluminum plate. The
leather is black demi-calf. or soft dull

prefer, you can send directly to the
Booterie, where orders will be filled
subject to refund, or exchange if not ,
entirely satisfactory.
