isn't this one particularly dainty?"
enthusiastically exclaimed little Miss
Allen at The Blouse Section. taking
from a box a handmade blouse of
sheer white voile, which someone
must have spent time and eyesight
drawing threads to make intricate
little spider webs. 1t was finished
coquettishly with tiny picoted ruffles
around the graceful collar and down
the front-a beauty for s5,75. An
other pretty blouse with frilly ef-
feet trimmed with wide filet lace

FOLLOWING ARE A FEW SUCCESS
TIONS FOR THE SPRING.
TIME LUNCHEON:
The Lenten season, which placed
quietus on all Omaha's social activi-
tied, Is over. Society has donned her
gay attire and will sally forth to
luncheon or to bridge and be glad
she's alive. OF course, you want your
party just so pretty that the guests
will carry away with them charming
memories of it-so I'm going to sug-
gest that
VOU should buy your flowers at
Lee Lannon's. for he makes
- speciality of decorating for par
ties and delights in designing new
baskets for your table and sweet In
divdual corsages for the guests. His
baskets are beautiful especially those

THE table napery should be the
daintiest and snowiest white for
l. your Spring-time luncheon. At
Thompson Belden's I saw such exquis-
lite Mosaic luncheon napkins, center
pieces and lunch cloths to match
made in sunny France by fthe skilful
peasant women, whose lifetime Is de-
voted to the art Of needle-work. Then
there are Madeira luncheon sets, CEN
terpieces and table cloths-nothing
could be lovelier than Madeira work for

Portugal entered the war-but Thomp-

To save the polish on your mahogany
table you really should have set
of asbestos mats, provided with linen
covers, which can be slipped off to
wash. These mats come In sizes to
fit almost every dish on the table, and
the covers are hantily scalloped to
look like Madeira work.

~ finest catering for your SPRING
time luncheon can be secured
