tional school and hospital for
wounded soldiers may be blocked

mately $10,913 by giving up their
lease now, according to A. C. Yam
bert. ! "Board and room at the hall costs
us only $40 a month, but it would
be $140 a month in Omaha," said he.

and lossof time if we went back
and forth by street car, and our
laundry would cost 'us at least $7
a month each in Omaha, whereas
wc don't pay anything extra for it
in Bellevue."

cure as beautiful an assortment of floor
lamps and shades as these we are now
offering.
The Shades
These illustrated are
copies of but two of the
many styles.
There are shades of rose, blue, mul
berry and many others. Some are digni
fied in appearance, severely plain lines
and also one-color effect. Others are illumi
nated with rich,, fancy colored Cheney silk
panels. Every shade is silk lined and

odd tassels,

your taste, there

to please you.
The Bases
To Omaha
Organizations
We take pleasure in an
nouncing that the
Burgess-Nash
Auditorium
is now open to the public free
of charge.
It is located on the fifth
floor of the Burgess-Nash
Company new building and is
one of the most beautiful au
ditoriums in this part of the
country.
As many organizations and
teachers are N engaging their
dates far in advance, it is nec
essary that those who care to
make use of the auditorium
call the Burgess-Nash adver
tising department at once, so
that they may secure the
proper datings.
We reservs the right to use our
own discrimination in placing the
auditorium at the disposal of the
public.
The bases are Italian polychrome finish. Most of
them are hand carved in artistic designs, and the
high lights are brought out in burnished gold. This
effect is entirely new and will harmonize with fur
niture of any style and finish. You may have your
choice of bases and select the shade you prefer. The
lamps are outfitted with complete two-light, pull
chain sockets and two cords.
