Among the oddest conceits of the season are the pointed felt or straw automobile hats with isinglass visor attached. 'The ob ject of the visor Is. of coupae, to pro tect the face of the wearer be It fair or otherwise, from the dust and sun, the hats being brimless. You encounter ponderous electric touring cars careen ing down the Avenue, on the way to country homes or clubs, every hour of the day, and the singular get up of the 'women occupants is the source of open-mouthed wonderment to the street gamin. The costumes are truly funny looking, especially when the wind fills out the voluminous pongee or silk dust coats with which the gowns are protected. Pongee grows more and more popu lar as a Spring and Summer fabric It comes embroidered and non-embroidered In various dyed shades, and In Its own lovely natural color, a soft ecru. Sometimes it is embroidered in pink coral or in tiny turquoise-blue stones. A. charming model has "pinch tucks" by which name the finest possible tucks are known over the whole skirt; coral being used only In the trimming about' the foot. But the bodice, particularly the front, is one mass of the pink gems, worked in elaborate design, on a fewadattoB of ecru filet lace. Them there are pongee shirtwaist BW&tm lajifeHBdance. and a few stunning taHer Bade. One of these has aa enormously wide-sleeved coat, very 'short, and with a full bloused waist beneath. The skirt Is sheath-like in fit, with a deep fullness at the bottom. The white gowns, with their diapha nous elbow sleeves and blouses, have given a new Idea to a clever manufac turer of Jewelry who has a little French) shop on Broadway near Twen tieth street The idea Is to have jewel ed collars and bracelets to match. They are to be worn with low-necked or col larless wash gowns that have short sleeves. A debutante at Sherry's diner de luxe on Sunday evening wore the first set I have seen, and It was simply beautiful. She was a blonde, and very plump. Her gown was of pure white crepe-de-chlne and white, heavy lace. The lace finished In its own irregular design at the base of the throat, about which was the necklace or collar I don't know Its real name. It was made of Etruscan gold chains, with four large ovals of turquoise matrix at In tervals. There was a very Jargeoval in front, one on each side and one in the back, where the necklace or collar fastened. The bracelet, worn on the left arm, midway between elbow and wrist, was a facsimile "of the collar. It Is the period of extremes of fash ion, it seems to me. For instance, we either cover up the hair entirely with wide Chantilly laces and scarfs draped about our hats, or else dress the hair elaborately and don a tiny capote of flowers. Two becoming new styles In hairdressing are the low, loose knot and the Du Barry perpendicular braid. With the low knot the front hair is parted exactly in the middle, and is very loose and fluffy at the sides, held by a long and heavy new side-comb. The knot Itself is worn very low, and Is round and symmetrical. It is an ex cellent style for regular features. The Du Barry Is very much In evidence everywhere. It Is newer, and we do like to try new things. Besides, for a heavy head of hair it is most effective and so easy to arrange. All the hair is merely braided in school-girl fashion, then turned up over the entire back of the head, spread out and pinned snugly. The sides and front must" be fluffed becomingly about the face, and a small shaded silk chou tucked In toward the left side. The bodice Is primarily of wavy tucks, with the loveliest of fine Irish crochet by way of yokes and cuffs. The Farmers & Merchants Bank $3gJ 15th and O Streets, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA. G. W.

A Broad way actress-manager, one of the show iest women on the stage, is appearing nightly in a gown that is the envy of every feminine theatregoer. It Is made of some clinging soft white material, Prlncesse in cut, and shows some deli cate green hand-embroidery in curious little designs at odd places on skirt and bodice, and in tiny ruffles In front from the bust to a little below the waist line. It is a most unusual and impressive design. Lady Modish in Town Topics. COMICAL ANTI-SUFFRAGISTS. A funny fatality seems to inspire the opponent)? of equal rights for wotnen to use the most Incongruous arguments possible. A United States senator of notoriously profligate life, objects to woman suffrage on the ground that it would injure "the purity and delicacy of womanhood." The representatives of the liquor interest object for fear It might impair the happiness of the home. Rev. Edward Everett Hale, who has just celebrated his eightieth birth day, objects to women's voting be cause they cannot fight; and Mrs. A. J. George of Massachusetts, who spends much time traveling about lec turing, objects on the ground that "a woman's place is at home." It suggests a story of the old days before imprisonment for debt was abol ished In England. The rumor of a French Invasion had thrown the whole country Into excitement. An Impris oned debtor was talking through the bars of his window with a street beg gar and a soldier who was consider ably more than "half seas over." "If the French effect a landing on British soil, what will become of our liberties?" cried the Imprisoned debtor. "Yes, and of our property?" echoed the tattered beggar. "Ob, d n our liberty .and our property!" vociferated the drunken soldier, "What will be come of our religion?" Laura A. Gregg. In Beaver City Tribune. New Lincoln 199 S. Tenth Street JOHN S.
