WAISTS FOR EARLIER WEAR
Heavy Laces Are Set ON,
Thus Producing Tailored
Eject.

No matter what the Paris dictators may
announce or how many tailored effects
domestic manufacturers may include in the
supply of summer wash shirtwaists now
being put on the market, the comfortable,
short-sleeved lacy and embroidered lin
gerie blouse has not lost one bit of its
popularity and Will be as much, IL not more
worn this year than ever. The length of
the sleeve is the only perplexing or in
definite detail and for earlier wear the
long sleeve will probably enjoy the greater
vogue, but when the weather gets warm
and even a bit of lace buttoned about the
pulse becomes unbearable, the short sleeve
will come into its own again. It will be
remembered that the late Mrs. Osborne.
the originator of the shirtwaist and tha
dictator of fashion in this country. re-
fused to accept the long sleeve for mid
hummer use, only last year, and returnine
from Paris where everything was over the
wrist, she refused TO be tortured with
'such foolishness'' and calling upon Ameri-
can women to assert their individuality.
she led off with the short sleeve. and the
fashion was secure in this country for at
least another year.
OF course. If a woman has Impossible"
forearms the long sleeve is a boon, but
nine-tenths of the women have arms that
the short sleeve makes only the prettier.
and for these the short sleeve is an equal
boon.
Some Of the new waists are a comblna-
tion OF lingerie and tailored effect, that Is
the heavier laees are set on as trimming
as illustrated in the cut. II we'll planned
such waists are Immensely effective for
earlier wear.

HUNDRED ESSAYS SENT IN
Omaha HiEh school offers This Num-

lean Revolution Succeed?'' Two hundred
essays we're submitted in contest by pupils
OF the Omaha High school alone, which
makes good record for the 1900 pupils of
this school. or one in ten. The Omaha
committee has had a strenuous time in de-
Gliding which is the best of these 200 essays.
The Lincoln committee of the society will
pass upon the essays submitted from that
school and these two prize essays, with
the names Of the authors. will be given Fri
day next at the Omaha High school. The
two prize essays will then be submitted
TO a disinterested committee and from the
judgment of this committee the award will
be made, a first and second prize to go to
the school winning. BY this arrangement
each Of the high schools will receive a
prize, which will be a costly historical
picture with the name of the winner and
date of the contest engraved on a plate
attached to the frame.
The exercises at the Omaha High school
will begin at 1:15 p. m. Friday. Ralph w.

VIII He Applied a.
Trimming

That there will be more skirt fullness Is
Inevitable. Summer frocks OF a practical
sort will not admit Of the treatment that
has been accorded to the winter skirts and
with the change will doubtless come some
relief all along the line, not in the subtle
draperies of which mention has already
been made. but in inserted plaits and folds
at least slightly more ample.
A number of the newest mating frocks
in lightweight wool, linen or silk have
close-fitting skirt tops, often continued to
the hem in the back, but Joined fatty in
front in plating, rising to knee height.
Two of the linen models which are pictured
here illustrate such skirt handling, and the
effect in both cases was good.
The little frock of deep violet linen, al
most a mulberry shade, was, by the way,
~uncommonly chic and yet extremely simple.
the only trimming being a little very fine
self-colcr soutaching around the neck and
on the large linen-covered buttons.
We shall, 1t is said. see many of these
dark-toned linens. all the off tones so pop
ular in satins. crepes and clothes having
apparently been successfully reproduced by
the manufacturers of linen. Bots de rose
and ashes of roses are popular faded rose
tints, and more lively tones of rose or pink,
coral, peach, carnation, geranium, etc, are
popular.
We shall have all the dull purple tones
of grape and berry again and a long line
of blues, browns and greens. but no start
lingly new color has as yet materialized
and just what tone will become a summer
fad cannot, of course, be predicted.
Net, either white or in the color of the
frock material, embroidered in soutache
matching the frock. enters into the design
of many new linen models of somewhat
dressy character, and self-color embroidery
in fine soutache and in linens or the linen
material itself is lavishly used on some of
the one-piece frocks. A line of buttons ex-
tending down the entire length Of the frock
figures in a number of these smart one
piece linen models, and buttons of embroid-
cred linen, cotton or linen crochet, etc, are
much in demand, as are many kinds of lit
tie fastenings, suitable for accompanying
such buttons.
These button and braid trimmings are in
reduced even upon the sheer cotton frocks,
since they go through the Tubing process
without damage, and our artist has
sketched three delightful little tub frocks,
two in muslin and one in cotton crepe. in
which effective use of such trimming has
been made.

NEW SERUM FOR CANCER
Treatment Used With Great Success
in Case of a New York
Doctor.

II is said that a new treatment for the
arrest of cancer has been tried with great
success in the case of DIR. William 7. Bull,
the surgeon who is now lying i'll at the
Plaza hotel, New York City. The treat
ment, it is understood, takes the form of
an injection of a lymph from the body of
an animal.
The discoverer of the lymph is said to be
Dr.. Joseph A. Blake, who has been at
tending DR.. Bull for some time. When
DR.. Blake went into the case, 1t was the
general medical opinion that the patient
had only a short time to live. The cancer
Gus growth on DR.. Bulls face and neck
had not yielded to treatment. 1t was then
that DR.. Blake told his patient, 1t is said,
of the lymph.
DR.. Bull agreed to try It. according to re-
port. The lymph was used, 1t is said. and
in a short while the effect on the cancer
was marked. The flesh began to heal, and
It is said that within a few weeks the can
Ger had almost disappeared. But then, II
is declared, complications began to set in.
While the cancer was almost healed, DR..
Bull lost flesh at an alarming rate, and
began to fail physically. This would
bear out the reports recently that he has
lost over 100 pounds in weight in the last
two or three months.
Beside the loss in weight. DR.. Bull sur
fered rheumatic pains In his lower limbs.
AS a result the lymph treatment had to
be discontinued for awhile. Then the can
Ger gave signs of renewed activity, and In
4 short time, it is said. broke out again.
After awhile the lymph treatment was
again resorted to-and again the cancer
subsidized. This treatment has been resorted
70 at intervals ever since.-New York
Times.

FOOTWEAR
REMAINS UNCHANGED
Little Different From Style Of
Last Season-Makes Feet
Look Smaller.

Street footwear plays an important
part in costumsry at The beginning OF
the new wear. II is not as much
changed as gowns and suits are from
last seasons fashion, but what was
new last year is now universal.
Boots and shoes of other days which
one MAJ have left in good condition
look out of style against the new ones.
III may be that the modern footgear
to the front rank OF tho chorus, but
1t is the style. And not only IS 1t the
style but 1t is comfortable and easy
to walk in.
The pointed toe OF other days is ut
terlY out of 1T. The heel that curves Is
i'm bad taste. The thin sole that does
not protect the foot from, cold or damp
is relesated to the house.
The ITS of the day for street wear
make the foot look smaller, for all
tricks have been called into play to
give shapely feet below the short skirt.
Arch on Sole.
The ,.eel is straight and high, and
the arch under foot Is better made than

American is not iiat-footed.
