Those Wayward Evening Gowns & it I M ii) Is 1 iKj D i 9 . a: fc They Refuse to Obey Rules bo . Daintiness and Dignity Are All Mixed Up. There is no part of a woman's wardrobe more wayward than the evening gown. It simply refuses to rbey rules, not even the rule of age The sweet young thing who today appears in a lightsome, "youthful" bunch of fluff will tomorrow sheathe herself in a clinging, stately, trained affair of black velvet. Similarly will her elder sister discard dignity in some capricious moment in favor ot frills. But why not, she asks de fiantly, when every sort is correct. Two of the gowns shown on this page, those worn by Lillian Hall and Emily Chichester, motion picture actresses, are totally different if character. Miss Hall's belong to I the first-mentioned class, being a ' lacy looking concoction of salmon pink silk net over a foundation o' cloth of silver. The overdress ! which has a deep flounce, flowered in salmon pink, is cut straight across the top, and so wide as to extend 1 when held out at least a half yard beyond either hip. But it is held out only for exhibition purposes; usually it is allowed to fall into soft folds, giving a slightly bouffant effect z.bout the hips. The free edges are outlined with tiny ribbon flowers and look like the edges of pockets. Silver embroidery bands the low bodice and little bows of silver rib bon dot the flouncing at intervals. Miss Chichester's gown is as se verely plain as the ether is frivolous, but it is of the rich, shimmering ma terial, and is made on the fine, simple lines that are utterly independent o trimming that, as a ' matter . of fact, are far more effective withou . it. The whole thing is of heavy, lustrous black satin, the bodice and girdle cut in one piece; the skirt, ex tremely narrow about the an with a very slight fullness hips. A straight, square train serves to emphasize the general ef fect of simplicity, and incidentally, of slenderness and height.' . Mountains, . Mountains seem to have been built for the human race, as at once their schools and their cathedrals; full of treasures of illuminated man-; uscript for the scholar, kindly in simple lessons for the worker", quiet in pale cloisters for the thinker, glorious in holiness for the worship er. They are great cathedral of the earth, with their gates of rock, pave ments of cloud, choirs of.stream and stone, altars of anow.i purple traversed 'ty stars Ruskin.

' ' I -.Third K It Will Pay You to Buy Your Household Linens Now Duri Kilpatrick's Annual Kin, cx j . mi kles and ; You may doubt the reliability of some of the statements concerning the almost miraculous merits of pineapple. The claim has been made J that pineapple has rare healing qual ities for the throat, that it would very nearly bring eternal youth. .' It is one of the foods that, like! celery with its leputed nerve heal- J ing virtues, has always come in for ; enthusiastic praise that has not al-, ways been entirety based on scien- tific investigation. However, we do know that all fruit is beneficial and pineapple has none of the su- peracidity that would make it less ,so than other fruit, t: And there is one thing that has . brought grtat popularity to pine apple within the last few years. It is the one sort of tinned fruit that seems to be universally liked. There ire nfany persons who actually pre fer the canned fruit to the fresh -sort. The faCct is that the pineapple that is canned is mellow and en tirely ripe at the time of canning, hence it has none of that rather bit ing flavor that is sometimes to be found in the pineapples that we get in the market. There are two sors of pineapples -r-one that comes to you in slices and the other that is cut up. If you are using it for salad or desserts where you want to use the whole pieces then the former is your best selection, whereas if you are going to make a dessert where you wish. to have it minced then you save time by using the latter sort. When it is possible open a can of pineapple today and use it for a salad and finish it up tomorrow in a dessert. If you are making a fruit mixture of bananas, apples, grape fruit or other fruits in combination a little pineapple, even if it is but one slice left over, will add piquancy to the flavor. The juice in which pineapple is canned is quite sweet, and this may be used to sweeten a fruit dessert. ' One very good salad that may be made to take the place of salad as well as dessert is made by placing pineapple .discs on lettuce and then filling the holes of pineapple with " cream cheese. French dressing to which a little pineapple juice has been added should be used with it. Always a little pineapple placed in the bottom of the dish in which custard is served adds interest to that simple dessert. . A delicious dessert is a pineapple omelet made as follows: Beat three eggs thoroughly and add a table spoonful of sugar, a pinch of salt and after this is mixed, a teaspoonful ot lemon juice and a teaspoonful ot the juice of canned pineapple. In the meantime prepare your omelet pan by greasing it with butter. When tot turn in the beaten egg and proceed as usually with an om elet. When it is set sprinkle over the top of one-half of the omelet a cup of drained minced pineapple. Now fold over the other half , and sprinkle with powdered sugar be fore serving. , Officer in the General Federation of Women's Clubs Here. r v ive or striking contrast on most any material. And in designs of other colors it lelps bring out the pat tern, if used sparingly here and there. On the winter hat hand embroid ery is perhaps, a little less used than formerly, but some striking or dainty stitches still lend distinction to a few of the most exquisite and up to date. On hats of taffeta and velvet with a turban crown one of the most popular ways to embroider is to use a fine silver or gold thread and weave it across the crown in such a way as to leave flower-like looking spaces on the fabric. An other way is to make a plaid design of basting or fine stitches.

Mrs. Winter, second vice presi dent of the General Federation of Women's clubs, arrives in Omaha today to attend meetings of the gen eral fedration board, January 6 to 8. Mrs. Winter is director of Ameri canization in the federation and is well-known over the country as author, lecturer, club and civic work er. She is a candidate for the of fice of president, G. F. W. C. Elec tion will be-held at the "Golden Prairie Biennial" of the clubs, Des Moines, la., June, 1920. Americans, this is our country, let's stand to gether," is one of Mrs. Winter's characteristic remarks. Effects in Embroidery Every season there is something distinctive in the style of embroid ery and the way it is applied to clothes. To be smart milacfy, this year .for instance, embroiders not her collar, but instead the flat col larless neck of her dress. One of the favorite stitches for the one nice frock neck as well as the Georgette blouse, the Russian or casaqua blouse of velvet or the jersey smock is a band composed of three rows of basting stitches placed rather close together in contrasting em broidery silks. . Many times a pop ular color scheme is three" tones of the same color or two light colors with a middle row of black silk to give accent for this sort of trim ming. A sort of sun-ray stitch, that is, long and short stitches done over the edge of the neck, is another smart neck finish. Sometimes silk and sometimes wool is chosen to work these stitches and sometimes French knots or solidly embroidered dots are placed at the end of these stitches. ' On smocks of taffeta embroidery in self color is very good just now. This often dedorates the front of the blouse in a design of conven tionalized flowers.' . . f " One of the very newest of this year's effects in embroidery applied to clothing is an over and over stitch laid work just wide enough to imitate soutac! e braid. It ii most frequently applied in black silk to the winter frocks of darklue serge, broadcloth or tricotine particularly those models called "coat dresses." Black silk embroidery, it should be noticed, always makes an effect- Furniture should be stained before being waxed. Charcoal powder is excellent for cleaning fir" '-"ivps.

Ii I ! M. i 1 1 I There are sound, logical reasons why the women of Omaha should anticipate their linen needs and buy now! Ireland is practically the only country producing flax. Russia, formerly producing almost three-fourths of the world s supply, Is practically out of business. Belgium has not yet fully re stored her linen industry. Under such conditions linens must continue to be scarce, and scarcity is the inevitable cause of higher prices.
