men who should belong TO the club, have
gone again and again instead on the IN
vitation of their different friends. In
every dance. not only that but several
young men who do not belong, possessed
Of an abundance Of assurance, have gone
out by themselves time after time, and
have often taken young women with
them, running the risk at any time of
being asked to depart. A sudden stop
was put to this, however, last week, by
the issuing of cards, calling attention
to the rules, and requiring members to
present their cards at the gate. The re-
suit was a noticeable falling on in the
attendance, and the absence of many, who
have not missed a dance this season. The
rules are to be riRidly enforced the rest
OF the season. Last evening there were
not many large dinners. but a number
Of small ones were given. Among them
was one given by Mr. and Mrs. r. p

THOUSANDS MADE IN CLOVES
Young Fortune Carved by Omaha Firm
When Market Was Barren.
SHORT SLEEVES CAUSE A STAMPEDE
Gloves TO Cover the sbnpeIy Arms
Are scarce and One Omaha
Firm Buys out European
Retailers

You could have made a tidy sum Of
money this summer If you had known
what every dry goods merchant in America
knows today. A retail firm in Omaha saw
its chance and had enough foresight to
weigh the conditions iudicially. Now the
results of the effort have paid for the
trouble a dozen times over.
Long silk gloves were at greater pre-
MUM this summer than any one article
of merchandise for a decade. Early this
spring came evidences of an overwhelming
demand. The call for long kid gloves began
to subside when the shirt waist girl APP
pearcd. The 1906 shirt waists We're elbow
length. Long silk or fabric gloves became
n necessity, because the summer girl wanted
something that would daintily cover her
forearms and turn up into a neat cum at
the elbow. From New York to the Pacific
coast there was a clamor for this article.
Kid gloves, even if they could be secured,
would not fill the bill. Light fabric gloves
I'm black, white or any color were demanded
over a thousand retail counters.
I'VE will have them next week." was
the promise of the clerks, but the promise
became a procrastination more and more
deferred. The market was barren of silk
gloves.

Orders Cannot he FILLED.

For weeks orders were filled by manufac-
turcrs in thirds or quarters of the desired
amounts. II they were filled at all New
York had no gloves. Paris had none. The
manufacturers could not get the silk fabric
and they had to watch their chances of a
rich harvest fade away. Not a pair of
elbow length gloves on Broadway" was
the terse answer. from New York sources
of supply to entreaties from all over the
states. Gloves in Isle, glove tops or mitts
were seized makeshifts wherever they
were found, but the supply seemed to whet
the appetite rather than appease it. Price
ceased to be a chief consideration. Custom
ers did not question cost, but swarmed on
every pair of gloves to be found.
Late in the spring a member of an Omaha
firm went abroad for a pleasure trip. He
conceived the idea of buying gloves where
ever they could be found. Since there were
none to be had at the manufacturers. the
jobbers or the wholesalers, he determined
to buy out the retailers When he reached
Europe he haunted the big shops of Paris,
London and Vienna till he secured every
pair the shrewd merchants would sell him.
These were shipped to America and dis
posed of at wholesale to the clamoring
dealers at prices in appreciable advance
of the normal retail figure. He got his
price without an effort.
Puts Party of Buyers to work.
A few weeks later the house, of which
this merchant was a partner, sent abroad
| party of five buyers with instructions TO
go over the European retail field, in addi-
ton to their other buying trips and ship to
| America every pair of long silk gloves to
| be found for sale in the trade centers of
| the continent. The result was an imports-
/ ton that staggered the customs house Off
| GERS and made the jobbers believe that a
source of supply as generous and as mys-
| FERROUS as "Scotty's' mine had been un.
earthed. The gloves were jobbed at ar
| advanced price.
This was a piece of foresight that might
have been exhibited by any larger i'm
porter or wholesaler, but II remained FOL
an Omaha house first to cover the field
and when the method became known, this
profitable source of supply was as barrier
| as a desert.
That's the way you could have made
money this summer.

The widows and widowers, all three va
rieties, the real ones, the grass ones and
the summer ones, are occasioning consid-
cradle amusement and gossip at the Field
club just at present. There are many of
each kind included in the membership and
they are nearly always present in full
force. OF late the number has been par
ticularly noticeable There are three wild
ows of the second variety who are nearly
always together. and the attention they re-
ceive from the summer widowers would

who is the envy OF many of the girls The
colony of grass widows is soon to be Joined
by another charmer, judging from the
newspapers of the last week. The grass

attentions are bestowed on the young
women instead of the women of their owr
