recently presented with bill for wa

5000 900. The bonifaces are sat
irlcally hopeful that the city will be
able 10 collect its little bill. but they
appear to be doubtful as to their VIII

thot II the bill isn't paid somebody

declare that the water was stolen

The hotel In question has been pay

a large hostelry. and, however little

Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1907-03-24

Of walking length, according as they are
intended chiefly for walking or for carriage
wear Some Of the slightly grayish wood
browns are especially good for this purpose,
looking cooler than the yellCwer browns
and yet not too dark.
The brown wolfe street frock pictured in
one OF the small cuts was Of this type, and
its trimming Of big passementerie rings
In the color Of the vcile through which
were run velvet ribbons Of a much deeper
brown was as will be understood from an
examination OF the sketch, extremely sue
cessful. The fine plated collar Of lingerie
and lace held fat by the ring and ribbon
trimming was a charming note, and the
skirt trimming was excellent. The waist
coat was of white with tiny pearl buttons
The long loops and ends Of velvet, finished
by big silk tassels which appeared upon
this little empire coat, illustrated ten
dency, already marked, toward such scarf
effects and toward the use Of tassels, rings
and other dangling trimming.
The scarf idea is introduced upon boleros
and bodices not only in the shape of cravats
or narrow loops and ends, but in more
pronounced form suggesting the separate
wide shoulder scarf. Wide soft scarfs
plated on the shoulders. and falling low
over the sleeve top to give the correct long
shoulder line, are caught in some way at
the line Of the bust and fall loosely from
there on each side Of the front.
TIE mousseline house gown included
among the sketches will give some idea
Of such drapery and of its graceful posi-
bilities. In this case the gown was Of
picturesque Greek lines and was fashioned

deep printed border composed Of large sin
gle roses in shades running from yellow to
Havana brown. The chiffon was made
over a clear bright brown, with a golden
light in it, which is one of the most popular
tones of the popular color, and the effect
was indescribably soft and harmonious.
Another frock was in sheer stun which
seemed to be silk muslin or chiffon, with
a wide satin stripe. The ground of both
the chiffon and the satin was white, but
all over the surface ran an irregular check
ing in heavy lines of black
This material was made up over the same
light bright brown already mentioned The
black design on the sheer chiffon laid over
the brown took on brown tone, while the
opaque satin stripe retained its clear white
and black, and the combination was re-
markably chic and attractive.
It is such color schemes as this, rather
than in the all brown effects that the sea-
sons vogue OF brown will be emphasized
among the ultra modish, but there are
beautiful things in brown among the silks
voiles, etc, and the browns are fairly ram
pant in the early season millinery. Here
however, brown is usually relieved by some
harmonizing line which will tone into it
rather than contrast violently with todd
dull shades OF blue or rose or purple, and
very often certain yellowish or reseda
greens, which are particularly satisfactory
with brown.
The shaded and changeable effects of
the season are remarkably soft and beautl-
full though often distinctly odd and I'M
usual, so unusual that any one save an
artist is very likely to go astray in at

has been seen during the winter and is
echoed in summer models. and loose drapery
falling from a long shoulder line in soft
folds is feature Of some OF the newest
little coats.
These little coats, by the way, promise to
be bewitchlng little affairs, and each day
brings forth new and piquant models.
A pretty little black coat, which would be
as serviceable as 1t is chic, is a loose
straight falling hip length model Of beauti-
fully fine handmade lace. Fitting smoothly
over the shoulders it flares TO ripping full
ness lower, and the short full sleeve is
made in one with the body so that no arm
hole nor shoulder seam shows
The beauty Of the lace and the clever
lines Of the coat are its only trimming,
aside from the finely plated and pinked
frills of soft black taffeta, which border
the fronts and bottom and finish the sleeves
and neck. The fronts Of the coat are cut
away beginning TO round just below the
throat line and curving back sharply at the
hips. On each side Of the front at the
throat are chouX Of plated and pinked silk.
Quaint little soutached coats OF taffeta
or other firm silk, I'm plain light color will
be worn over airy summer frOcks.
Long panel lines worked out IN the inset
lace and hand embroidery are much In
evidence and the princesse lines. on the
realm Of the lingerie gown. The Swiss and
batiste embroideries and the combinations
Of lace and embroidery furnish exquisite

NEW GLOVES ATTRACTIVE
Tans Have the Cali over other Shades
in Both Kid and
silk.

Gloves, one Of the essential compliments
OF the smart suit or dross costume, are
among the most attractive features Of the
spring display. The long glove-at from
$3.50 to 81 a pais-continues to be the
leader, and the siXteen-button length Is the
style preferred. The wise woman will do
her purchasing early too, for the very
best selected skins are to be had now. They
are scarce, and a later lambskin will be
substituted. Blacks, tans and modes, shad-
ing 10 champagne, are the popular shades,
with tans given the decided preference
One Of the features of the long kid glove
is the five-strand stitching shown. espe-
cially in the black.
SILK gloves are stiI in vogue, and are
a welcome and durable substitute for the
warm expensive and by no means salts
factory long kid glove. il will require only
a few warm days 20 bring these out, for
they will be popular for street wear, even
with the cloth suits. For ordinary wear
the silk will follow the kid in color, but
they also come I'm the daintiest shades,
suitable for wear with dancing frocks or
light spring or summer costumes. These
range I'm price from 81. 80 to $3.50 a pair.
The embroidered wrist and arm is one OF
the novelty features OF the silk glove.
These, however, come only in the black
and white. and cost from 50 10 $3.50 a pair

COLOR SCHEMES CONE FROM PARIS
The Scarf idea Introduced Upon
Bodies and BOIerOs-New and
Piquant Models of the
Little Coats.
HEMsS COME FROM PARIS

Brown, and yet again brown! The shops
are full Of the color in all Of its new
shaded, and already women are beginning to
shrug their shoulders and say:
But everyone will be wearing brown"
There is just the trouble. The browns
are now chic. They are sure TO be popular
and the fastidious look asksnce upon
popular colors.
However, even a much-abused color takes
on distinction when handled consummately
well, and brown frocks, hats and aces
sories are a safe investment provided they
are smart enough to stand out from the
mOnontonous background Of browns One
Of the most fashionable New York dress
makers has in hand a number of frocks
which subscribe to the brown mania with
out being commonplace, and the ideas en-
bodied in them seemed worthy OF note.
One was a chiffon cloth in white with a

Of white moussellne de sole, decorated at
hem and girdle with heavy Greek key en-
broidery in gold.
over the shoulders of this classically sim
pie robe was draped a wide scarf of rose
color mousseline de sole inset with vertical
lines of Vaenciennes insertion and finished
at the ends by deep knotted fringe. The
scarf was confined by the girdle at the
short waistline.
In more serviceable materials this model
would be almost as charming and more
practical in soft yelling, with a scarf Of
crepe, for example, and lovely color
schemes Turk in this use of the scarf
drapery and the loose square lines which
straight falling scarfs impart to the bodice
are repeated in many of the bolero models
and even in certain bodices which have no

trimmings for lingerie stuffs and many Of
these trimmings are OF hand work. These
are. OF course, expensive luNuries, but they
sell rapidly, 80 the supply is evidently in
answer to a demand.
Never has color been so charmingly in
troduCed into the embroidery Insertions,
motifs and iouncings as It is this season,
and some of the earliest lingerie materials
offered are IN delicate tinted sheer stun em-
broidered IN white or in white batiste, null
OF Swiss, with delicate touches Of color In
its embroidery The dotted Swisses are
particularly favored, and with plain dotted
Swiss for frock material are offered fiounc-
ing and insertions Of similar dotted Swiss
with edges scalloped and buttonholed in
white or in delicate color, and with dainty
garland and spray designs embroidered in
light pinks or blues or lavenders.
Another dotted Swiss has with II Swiss
OF the same width on which, at four-inch
intervals, are set two and a half inch
stripes Of embroidery. This embroidery is
done in delicate coloring upon a ground
OF dotted Swiss like the foundation ma
terial, but tinted. The stripes come in corn
color, in pale blue, in pink and in lavender,
and the colorings of the embroidery is, Of
course, harmonized with the color Of the
stripe. These stripes are finished at their
edges and may be cut out and used like
ordinary embroidery insertion or used as
striped material when that seems desirable
Bands Of embroidery insertion have a
white ground thickly strewn with en-
broidered pin-point dots of color and an
embroidered floral design in color. One
sees, too, open work and blind embroidery
combined in these trimming with a color
note, the open work design being done in
pale blue or pink, while the blind work is
in white.
Apropos of colored trimmings, there are
some very effective laces into which color
is introduced. The coarse hlets in cream
net sometimes have darned in designs in
dull color rather than in white, and cluny
laces in which a part Of the design Is exc
cuted in color are also shown. These laces
suggest linen frocks in the color used in
the lace and there are many embroideries
on linen which also belong to the province
of the linen frock
That linen is to be more popular than ever
is not to be doubted. and already coat and
skirt linen models in all grades Of elabOra-
ton are on view. The absolutely plain
tailored coat and skirt promises well, and
the tailors report heavy orders for such
costumes both in half length and short
coats.
Soutache braiding ornaments many of
! the less severe linen frocks and soutache
! combined with hand embroidery or en-
broidery without the braiding is lavished
| reGklessly upon some of the linen models.

Here, again, the note of color often creeps
into the trimming of white or ecru frock
and in the shops robe patterns of white or
string color linen deliberately embroidered
in fine white and blue, white and pink,
white and brown or white and green SOU
tache are shown.
Bordered materials have an unprece-
denied vogue and the very loveliest Of the
new offerings are OF this class. Silk NOUS
seline, chiffon, gauZe of all kinds, mar
quisette, wolfe, taffeta fOulard and a host
of other materials come in the bordered
effects.
Often the border is not of the pronounced
contrasting color sort but repeats in color
of the foundation material In another weave
or texture and with some slight hint Of
other color
Foulards in a close small dot design OF
white and color have borders of very large
dots or perhaps striped borders repeating
the coloring of the dotted material. Checked
and plaid borders, too, are seen upon one
tone voiles and other sheer stuffs, and the
wonderful color schemes and designs of
the floral or conventionalized borders which
beautify the chiffons mousselnes and
marquisettes are lovely beyond description
Some of the smartest French models in
foulard and similar materials have bodices
built on the very simplest lines with V
shaped or surplice drapery softly defining
the figure and with no trimming save In
the chemisette and the undersleeves to
match.
Panels and tabliers Of soft and graceful
description are we'll liked and plain front
breadths or plalts with some sort Of button
and loop adornment are considered smart.
Flounces are inevitable with sheer summer
frocks and laces and embroideries but are
most often so adjusted that they do not
seem like separately applied hounces but
rather like an integral part of the skirt.

tempting 10 effect the French color schemes.
Yet with all the originality In millinery
colorings there is little glazing or spectacu-
lar color in the new hats. Rather a certain
subdued note seems to pervade the curious
tones, and the shapes Of many Of the new
models furnish what Is bizarre In the hats.
Brown chiffon wolfe over self color or
white is the material for many pretty street
frocks, made with vague little boleros on
