I M I to rearrange Omaha dates on ac
f count of the influenza situation. Yet
iv I in many other parts of the country,
I f festivals, concerts and innumerable
U I recitals have been postponed or can
celled to conformto the health reg
ulations. ;
; , It is sometimes a wonder to musi
cal writers, though, that there are
'not more epidemics and local con-
("tagions than there really are, which

Y alt other affairs where people must
congregate for that matter) would
co-operate with the health authori

it upon themselves to be sure that
the hall is thoroughly aired before
the meetings, and that the atmos

body' knows it is much harder to
heat .dead air than fresh, so it is
not economy, even mucoid weather.
- The main trouble is that no one
nav 3iiv attention to it. The
artists who gives the recital trusts
'tin. mjiiasfr. the nianarer trusts
jthe proprieter of the hall, the pro
prietor trusts the janitor and the
janitor trusts to luck. As a result
Jit is ucuaWy not done and the pub
lic must endure as best they can
'if they would attend. Yet it is
everybody's business. It is the
artist's if he would do his best work;
,it is the manager's, if he would have
the business details correct; it is the
proprietor's, if he wishes his hall
well spoken of. and if he desires to
-please both the performer and the
people; it is the business of the
jiealth commissioners, and it is the
business of the people who desire
fto attend, to know that at least they
have a fair start at the beginning
"with the air they take into their
Jungs. It is my business, too, for I
M-.ave to attend to these affairs, and
I for one rebel against the custom

ii of just as much, importance to
tmy welfare a the food I eat. If
those giving musical affairs want
" me to give them an enthusiastic
Review, it is up to them to give me
ia fair chan.-e toenjoy their work.

November 8, in concert with Mme.
Helen Stanley, is the leading repre
sentative of the modern French
school. At the age of 9 he played
for Ysaye and the latter was moved
to tears. He took the boy in his
arms and said: "Some day you will
be master of us all." Thibaud plays
upon a rare Stradivarious violin,
one the property of Baillot. Critics
are unanimous in their verdict that
"he is an incomparable master, one
of the most distinguished exponents
of the Freeh style of violin playing.
This will be Thibaud's only appear
ance in Nebraska this season. He
comes direct to Omaha from a con
cert in New York city and returns
as promptly for other eastern en
gagements. His appearance in Oma
ha ' will be a rare treat for the
teachers of Nebraska. Admission is
only to members of the Nebraska
State Teachers' association)-
Mr. Finck, in the New York Eve
ning Post, says that great as is the
genius of Campanini, his greatest
stroke of genius is his recent action
in securing as his first conductor
Gicorgio Polacco. He gives it as
his opinion that Polacco even ex
cels Toscanini in his sympathic read
ings of the older Italian operas, of
which the "Barber of Seville" k one,
and in the orchestral details of which
he has revealed refined details
slurred over by his predecessors. In
the "Barber of Seville," in the "Les
son' Scene," Galli-Curci does almost
a concert program. She sings var
ious "stunt" songs from other operas
(Aria from "Dinorah" or "Lucia")
and then sings "Last Rose of Sum
mer,' "Home Sweet Home' 'and
"Annie Laurie." Many people like
this opera for this reason that she
does a widely varied group of songs
alone, playing her own accompani
ment for some of them.

It was interesting to note that in

MRS. CHARLES W. TURNER.
Jacques Thibaud (pronounced
Zhock .Teebo), who appears at the
Omaha Auditorium Fridajr erenirg,
Here is the picture of an Omaha
woman, Mr. Charles W. Turner,
formerly Miss Etta Schneider of
Fremont, now an American Red
Cross nurse in France, taken with
a wounded French soldier whom
she is attending. Mrs. Turner is
congratulating the French soldier
on being almost ready to leave the
hospital. The picture is released
by the publicity department of the
American Red Cross. '
Mrs. Turner, with Miss Louise
Dinning, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
R. J. Dinning, are now in the Amer
ican Military Hospital No. 1 at
Neuilly. Mrs. Turner served on
GeneraUPershing's staff in Paris
while awaiting call to duty with
the Hollingsworth unit, with which
she and Miss Dinning sailed over-
seas two years ago.
The soldier in the picture has
been in the hospital 14 months. His
right leg, which was perfectly stiff,
has been restored "to usefulness,
and his wounded arm is also nearly
normal again after months of
patient care. This is one of the
few French soldiers to be found at
the Neuilly hospital, which is sup
ported by the American Red Cross.
It is now almost entirety occupied
by American wounded.
Mrs. Turner's two sisters, the
Misses Margaret And Clara Schnei
der, of Fremont, sailed in Septem

T HE Flatiron cafe, Seventeenth
and St. Mary's avenue, under
the management of Ada C. Cooke
and Poul Christiansen, is unusual in
deed. In rooms at ontfe delightful,
artistically redecorated and refurn
ished, you'll find excellent service
and most delicious food. Many of
the deserts and salads are taken
from receipts famous all over the
world. You'll be in a most optimis
tic mood after a lunch or dinner
eaten in this most interesting lunch
or tea room. Une of my very best
friends has suggested calling it the
"coffee room" instead, for she says
she has never liked coffee before.
Truly, its coffee of an oily softness,
most entrancing! The lunch, which
is varied and satisfyingly substan
tial is 40c, while the 60c family din
ner in the evening leaves nothing
to be desired.

A NEW situation is developing at
Boyles college which, in one
sense, is unique. It is an innovation,
brought on in consequence of the
war., I was both surprised and
pleased to see a goodly numbejof
young matrons (whose husbands are
in the draft) hard at work to quali
fy for positions in business offices.
President Boyles permits these
women to choose the hours they
find the most convenient for study.
They are determined to keep the
home fires burning while their hus
bands are making the trip to Ber
lin. I found the college to be an
exceedingly busy place. The large
class rooms are full of pupils young
men and young women who are pre
paring for business pursuits. Over
1,500 students have enrolled this
year. Many of them are taking the
civil service course in order to qual
ify for positions with the- govern
ment in war and navy and other
departments. "The supply of clerks,
stenographers, bookkeepers, etc.. is
never equal to the demand," said Mr.
Boyles. "Our graduates are snapped-up
as soon as they qualify, by
business concerns in this city and
elsewhere. This is surely the day of
opportunity for young people who
know how to work."

BECAUSE I'n passionately fond of color, rich fabrics, and engaging style developments, I've tak
en great joy in serving you this week. Modes in all diversified interpretations of beauty have
made their bid for attention and you may be sure they've each and every one received due con
sideration. The shops are riotous in their showings and I wish I could enumerate the lovely things feminine I've
found this week for women within a radius of four or five states. "Polly's" circle of friends is in
creasing daily and you are all of you welcome indeed. Don't hesitate to state your needs. You'll
find them satisfied so quickly that you will believe that the only means of accomplishing so much
in so short a time would be the whisking speed of the "magic carpet of Bagdad."
Expert shopping, however, is filling a long felt need and is a true boon to everyone during these
busy days of wartime activities. And when I get yonr letters expressing gratitude for service
which I've so gladly given, I feel that I too am doing my bitl
POLLY.
I've just sent two large Japanese
baskets, one with rose tassels and
beads, the other in bright green, to
a lady in Colorado. They make
charming gifts.

TS THE Dresher Brothers' Clean
A ing establishment, 2211 Farnam
Did you know that they have 100
employes who clean and dye your
clothes, repair them expertly, repair
your shoes, clean and block your
hats, store, clean and repair your
furs, clean your home furnishings,
as well as an automobile depart
ment which cleans slip covers, up

Quite the Most Patriotic Thing I've
Found.
1-1 ECAUSE it relieves one woman
for war duty every day fti
the week. Do stop in at the E.
B. Williams' Electric shop, 312
South Eighteenth street (just across
from the court house) the very next
time you're down town and demon
strate to yourself that the Hoover
vacuum sweeper is a patriotic neces
sity in your home. It won't take
but a very few minutes for you to
convince yourself that you must
have it. It is so adjusted that it
does, not need to be held at. any
particular angle and the instant the
tiny lever is pushed, there is so much
vibration that the sweeper seems to
move itself as it lifts the rug, shakes
it and sweeps it gently with hair
brushes, whisking dirt into the dust
bag. The rugs are held suspended
and swept on an air cushion, which
restores them to the original color
and fluffiness. For the apartment
there is a Baby Hoover at $47.50, for
the large home the Hoover Special
at $57.50, I'll be most charmed to
send you either of these, knowing
that you'll thank Polly the rest of
your natural life for helping you
find such a household treasure.
Paris has ordained frocks of sim

Compensation!
T F you could see the lovely flowers
they've been sending out from
the John Bath Flower Shop. Eight
eenth an'd Farnam, this week! Such
a riot of exotic splendor have they
send from "friends to friends"!
I couldn't help imagining the
joy these artistically arranged blos
soms would carry. "'Truly this florist
is making many dark days bright for
the "flu" sufferers. I'm almost in
clined to think such flowers would
prove a" most gratifying compensa
tion for being sick . ' - - s
It's Always Fair Weather
TF you have a coat of muffling pro
x pensities! The F. W. Thome
shop, Eighteenth and Farnam, are
to have many coats on display for
the first time next week. Polly
rather having the advantage, has had
the first peep at them! And they're
lovely. Built on trim lines, of rich
materials, they defy the coldest
blasts. A model of Shaw's Angora
in brown has a wide belt whicU slips
through slits of large pleats, a most
original belt-way! Heavily silk-lined
throughout, this is my first choice.
It is hard to say that though, for
there il another of old gold velour
with collar and cuffs 6f seal plush,
which is extraordinarily becoming in
line and color, for $37.50; also very
much the same model in Overseas
blue. Then two heavy coats, ideal
for motoring, one of Olive Heather
cloth (suggestive of the olive brown
fabric) of substantial dignified" lines,
is $29.75; while one with big storm
hood is $24.75. Truly a happy alv
liance of the becoming and the prac
tical. ThJ parcel in hand is the badge
of patriotism. The government
asks you as a conservation measure,
to carry purchases, and to select
carefully to avoid returns.
A Window Filled With French
Hats! I
QUITE irresistible are the hats
that fill the east window of
the Nebraska Clothing com
pany's hat department, Fifteenth .
and Farnam streets, this week.
Yards and yards of American Beau
ty velvet, of an exquisitely mellow
tone which we have come to asso
ciate only with the French fabrics,
were chosen for the models bear
ing the name 'Jane Marsh, New
York-Paris. Becoming and pictur
esque a"re these models originated
especially to cheer wartime moods.
Some have folds of mystic lure,
on others roses or poppies bloom
in gay splendor. Typically Parisian
in every fold and-stitch are these
alluring bits of inspiration. The
west window is also most attract
ive in its showing of Gage models
in sailors, toques, of straight or
tilted brim, all of most piquant col
ors. A draping of really lovely
veils on these 'hats is enchanting
indeed.
A jolly little gift package of Or

I HE new fashions offer discrim-
inating women many oppor

Now is the time to determine
whether you arej-'be individually
dressed or just "ordinarily" clothed
The favorite dress, because it lends
itself best to lines of the slim
straight silhouette, is the jersey,
and the F. W. Thome Shop, Eight
eenth and Farnam streets, have
some very fine models in all the
new colors ranging in price from
S22.75 to $39.75. One model has
buttons all the way down the back,
and features an apron with wide
tucks round the ede, with close
fitting belt and round neckline. A
reindeer model, rather' more dressy,
has heavy embroidery of chenille
and flat, braided design on collar,
cuffs nd overskirt. You'd love the

of tiny purple buttons 1

a bowl of soft golden brown-with
exquisitely dainty birds perched on

ures, to be found in this shop, as
well as myriads of small gifts, each

small gifts are each packed attract

New Ribbons a Source of Inspira
tion! '"PHE ribbon department at
- Thompson-Belden's, Sixteenth
and Howard, are showing ribbons
which are most certainly an inspira
tion for the making of gifts and all
the pretty "frillies" women love.
Jenny, the Paris couturiere, uses
ribbons for bracelets, joining them
to sleeves, whether long or short, or
in very narrow embroidered or
beaded ribbons to form necklaces
She also builds her gowns on fibbon
foundations with girdles, peasant
bodice lacings and trailing ends
which fall in graceful lines to the
floor, forming the train. Tres
charmant, I assure youl Nothing
could be more jaunty as a waistcoat
for your trotteur frock or suit than
a richly brocaded ribbon ! While
your silk and velvet gowns will be
most adorable with a sash of heavy
satin with looped ends. Quite the
newest whim is a sweater knitted of
the daintiest grosgrain . ribbon,
unique indeed! Warm and patriotic
ally conserving! Whatever your
ribbon need, you'll find it among the
exquisite ribbons in this gorgeous
selection.
It's high time the children had
their winter underwear. I've been
seein' union suits with a garter at
tachment at the sides, and shoulder
stays.
The Sweetest Gift of All.
SACHETS of the delicately re
freshing fragrance of freshly
cut flowers are the two I boutrht
in the Franco-American Shop, 772
Brandeis Building, this week to fill
my Christmas sachet holders. The
rose is the very essence of all the
blossoms in grandmother's rose
garden, while Le Trefle adds a spice
Parisian to its sweetness. These
are but two of the nine odors from
which you may make 'selection."'
They range in price from 30 cents
to 85 cents.

The Charm of the Orient
HE Tokonabe fern dishes with
flower holder which are being
displayed at fthe Nippon Shop, 218
South Eighteenth street, have all
the charm which distinguishes
things Oriental. The pottery is dark
and rich in tone, fashioned on grace
ful lines. With the sprays of arti
ficial flowers which, if you please,
are included in the price, 95c, they
make a most enjoyable ornament.
The flowers are unquestionably
beautiful, chrysanthemums, pansies,
hydrangeas, poppies and lilies of the
valley. These fern dishes arrived
in the same delivery which brought
the charming hand carved taborets,
in sizes from one to three feet high,
ranging in price from $3.25 to $7.50.

Women's Separate Skirts Come Into!
Wartime Favor.
HIC and trig are the tailleur
kirts which I've found this
week There is a very com-,
plete showing of models in all tha
new fabrics and colors, but I want
particularly to tell you of the
"plaided" ones. First, a soft blended
plaid ol browri, green; navy and
blue of lighter shade fascinatirfg
pleats, big boxey affairs, stitched
down quite flat for about six inches.
The pockets are distinguished, ; in
deed, patch pockets, bound with
green braid, and obviously fastened
tightly by large gray smoked pearl
buttons. Then there's a -skirt of
gold brown with plaid lines of yet
low, another with navy and cherry
red blended to give a rose effect.
Particularly well adapted to present
day needs, these skirts! .
A gtacefurfringe will bring any
scarf to happy ending. . J
