Woman.

Man may fondly imagine himself to be
the dynamo Of the arc light. but woman is
the golden sunset over the eternal hills.
All fundamental facts are feminine.
Man imagine no softer. lovelier
fabric than the velvet of a woman's cheek.
He can imagine no warmer. rarer color
than the ruby of her lips.
He can imagine no jewel one-half as ra-
diant as the luster of her eye.
He can imagine nothing so gentle and
tender the pressure of her hand.
He can imagine nothing so mystical, so
alluring. as the dimple in her chin.
The sky has not the blue of her eye.
The sea has not the depth of her glance
And the mountains do not compel such
awe as when she looks over the distance
with that inscrutable glance of attune-
ment with the infinite. 90. r-
She is the sum total.
She Is the last word.
She Is the final analysis.
She is the absolute.
She Is the supreme

II there is ever time when gay colors
are needed 1t Is on damp. cold, or rainy
days, when an air of gloom in colorng tints
obtains, and when most people, whether
insensibly sensibly, succumb somewhat to
depressed feelings and even pessimistic
views. November is a month rich in
gloomy weather and rain, when brilliant
hues rich reds and vivid green will serve
to liven up that month Of dull coloring and
the rest of the cold season.

walking costumes, for they do not show

that even In heavy storms of rain the body
of the material was never wet through.
To relieve the somberness of the coat of
dark or dull material 1t may have a collar
showing color. and perhaps a vest effect
near the top. A waistcoat running to the
waist line or below may be inserted, but
then care should be taken to protect the
perishable color or material with an UNI

about the neck will supply bright touch
on dull day.

have any material one selects for a street

The hotels of Omaha have just received

for one F. w. Wilson, who had succeeded
in working the clerk of the Koehler out

1t appears that Wilson had not only beat
the Koehler hotel out of $S5, but that a
short while previous he had succeeded in
playing the same game on the Hotel Wat

the Grand hotel at Council Bluffs in his

off a worthless 1925 draft on the Manhattan
club rooms at Council Bluffs. Then Mr.
Wilson dropped out of sight as far as
Council Bluffs was concerned. July rs
Wilson appeared in Omaha and registered

Mr.. Kenyon was little suspicious of The

paper because of its being Sunday, but

Mr. Craig has not decided whether he
