r IFE Is such a Joyous thing when
you are only fourteen and can
- have pretty frocks to wear. II
Father and Mother are planning to
take you to one Of the Country Club
openings do insist that the frock for
the occasion be bought at f. W. Thorne's
Uptown Shop, 1879 Farnam st. tfor-
merly A. T. Benson's Speciality shop),
for they do have such lovely things
for the "jeune file" there. I saw a
real picture book" little frock Of
whispering white taffeta fashioned
quantity with three-tier skirt, each tier
cut with wide scallops and finished
with tiny two-fold ribbon ruffles. Sweet
little rosebuds peeped coyly here and
there from among the ruffles on the
skirt and baby waist. Altogether 1t
had such an artful, demure look that
Twas reminded OF little miniature
OF my grandmother at Sweet Sixteen
painted during the sos.
Jenny Wren will be glad to live In
your yard IL you have one of the
honey little bird houses made OF
moss, green bark or fashioned from a
hollow log that saw in flower shop
window.
THIS is really, truly true story
A woman who Is prominent In
National affairs, enroute to her
home in the East, stopped over In
Omaha and was amazed when she
called at the W. H. Eldridge Co.'S new
Oriental Shop. 1918 Farnam St., to
find identically the same gifts she had
secured In China and Japan, actually
cheaper than she had bought them
there. I discovered something In this
shop this week that / want to tell
you about. Teacups with lids to keep
your tea hottie thin, eggshelly kind
that make a cup Of tea such JOY
only $3.50 a half dozen.
Military capes are leaping into Fash
IONS favor.
MY VISIT to The Ideal Button and
M Pleating Co.'S shop this week
AVA was such a pleasant one, for
found them established In the Brown
Block and the busy army of workers
seemed so happy in their sunny new
quarters. The young man from War;
saw l told you about last week. who
is the embroidery expert, was embroid-
ering an intricate and exquisite pat
tern on a pearl gray Georgette day
time frock for one of our prominent
society brides. 1t was SO perfectly
done that no one would ever dream
It was other than fine hand work. For
the attractive touches that add so
much to the appearance Of gown
certainly recommend the work of THE
Ideal"
Ribbon trimming in the stars>/and
bars was seen on a pretty frock.
TT YOU are a man or woman SEEK
ing comfort combined with attrac-
= tiveness. let me tell you about
something new! Bath robes, which are
really beach robes, but equally as
good for home wear, made of light
weight Jap crepe in stripes-green,
blue or lavender--soft ratines in lovely
light shades-and "hoot mon.' you'll
surely want one Of those scotchy plaids.
There are slippers to match the robes.

TINE name of Wallace Nutting to
lovers of Art is as familiar as
the name of some Of the Old
Masters. His Nature Studies Of Colo
NAL Life and our Country Life of to-
day win our admiration with their SEN
timent and charm and delicate color
ing. Such subjects as Berkshire Hills
Cross Roads" Honey Moon Drive

$3.50. $500, $500 and up to 5000
are worthy of the best wall space. The
A. Hospe Co. has not only great
stock of Wallace Nutting pictures, but
exquisite frames to match at prices

HPRING, Youth and New Apparel go
hand-ir hand. What young girl
~ does not long for pretty frocks In
the Springtime? Her fastidious tastes
can certainly be gratified with the
many pretty wash dresses over at Ben
son & Thorne's. Linen, mercerized
corded gingham, fine poplins and
chambrays are shown In the newest OF
new shades. Some have big, patch
pockets just as swagger as can be-
there are long tailored styles; stole,
Jacket and MILDLY effects. Those In
coat style have pretty little vestees.
Hand embroidery is shown on many;
alss the ever-popular and becoming col
lars Of pique and linen. ] quite envy
the girls between 8 and IS who will
have the opportunity to wear these
clever garments.
