DEAR READERS: Such wonder

~ full things as Dame Fashion is
offering us! Patriotism has awakened
dressmakers to the fact that they
must encourage home industries, SO
America has set the styles this season
and there are very few garments in
our shops today bearing Partisan
labels. Moreover, it's with a great
sense of satisfaction and pleasure
that we note, without the aid Of Paris,
the styles created are prettier this
Fall than ever before. l spend hours
every week in the shops looking for
things that are new and smart and
different, that ] may tell you about
them. If can be OF any assistance
to you in any way by shopping for
you directly, or by tipping you off,
to where you can find any special
style or garment, piece of furniture
or card party prize, or anything you
may desire, I'll be most happy to help
you out. The Bee maintains this
Free Shopping Service for the benefit
of its readers. Address your letters
to Polly The Shopper, Omaha Bee" "

A Tip to Those Who

i am told that all prices on sepa-
rate fuys and fur garments will be
advanced by the middle of the month,
so if you're thinking of purchasing
new neckpiece, a muff or fur coat,
NOW is the time to buy. Such de-
llghtful furs as | saw this week at
F. w. Thorne's Uptown Shop. Really
truly wonder coats" of Hudson seal
and natural furs. ! notice that there
is quite tendency toward the use OF
the latter, rather than the dyed ones,
this Fall. One coat which immedi-
ately won my friendship was of natu-
raj muskrat, and the ingenuity of the
maker in the handling of the pelts to
give an unusual and effective design
was really marvellous. There are
beautiful broad capeS and stoles of
Hudson seal, scarfs of marten, genu-
inc lynx and kolinsky and charming
sets of fox furs for young school girls.
Ny, how comfortable anyone may be
this winter in one of these snuggly
fur garmentsi
