Big RESPONSE
BY W0MANk|ND
Here at Least Is One Decisive
Effort Towards the Re.
duction of Excessive
Living Costs.
Store Committee Arranges to
Place Women's Attire
Upon a Basis of Truly
Nominal Price.
DOUGLAS ST. FURORE

Women who have been bitterly
complaining over the constantly
rising costs of "wearables," as we'll
as foodstuffs, see at least one
glimmer of sunshine in the hcri-
ION, in the shape of the "PARI-
SIAN PURCHASE SALE" now
being conducted by the Orkin
Brothers, at their attire empo-
rum, 1519-1521 Douglas street.
For, beyond a shadow of a doubt
women are now buying garments .
"cheap"-at least they will as long
as the formidable "PARISIAN
PURCHASE SALE" keeps up.
Both J.> L. Orkin and M. Was
serman ofNTHE ORKIN BROTH
Frs STORE at 1519-1521 Doug
las ST., have made serious per-
sonal efforts to see that exception
ally reduced prices are quoted on
not only every garment yet re.
manning from the former PARI~
SIAN CLOAK co. stock, but on
numerous "overstocks" from their
own establishment. The combined
showing certainly makes this the
most attractive stock in Omaha.
Taken all in all. Omaha has
never yet had "Sale" wherein
so many genuinely stylish women's
suits, dresses, coats, skirts, waists,
ETC., have been featured at so
thorough an underprice. If this
were the latter part of July or
August you might well say to your
self, "Oh, you see, the season is
practically over with, and they
want to get rid of the garments at
any price" But, as you see, dear
reader, the season is not over with.
and the wearables are all season
able. In fact, every piece, every
garment in the sale, is a garment
Of now, made up within the past
few weeks, made up with set idea
of being sold and worn during
this, the present Spring and Sum
mer season.
If by chance any of the lines of
the former Partisan" stocks had
sold down too low to make a
showing, they were amply made
up by the tremendous "overstocks"
and special buys" of the Orkin
Brothers establishment.
So, dor't buy suit, don't buy a
dress, or skirt, or coat, or a
waist until you have at least been
through this store, until you have
travelled from table to table, shelf
to shelf and hanger to hanger, I'M
til you have seen, tried on md
compared the garments so thor
oughly cut in price in the "PARI-
SIAN PURCHASE SALE"
Look for the large yellow signs.
( Look also for the Purse That
Doesn't Grow Thin So Quickly, the
slogan of the great PARTISAN
PURCHASE SALE" Remember
that the selling is taking place at
the Orkin Brothers Cloak and
Suit establishment at 1519-1521
Douglas street, on the south side,
near 10th.
Make your dollar do Soldiers
duty Make it overcome obstacles
and win for your cause.-the cause
of Economy.

No More Society Small Talk,
May 16


Tea table talk in Omaha these days,
like everything else, is devoted to
Red Cross. At the tea Tuesday aft
ernoon by Mrs. Charles d. Beaton
for Mrs. Wilson Austin of Pelham
Manor, N. Y, who is visiting her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. c. F. McGrew.
and for Mrs. T. A. Wurster, jr., OF
Milwaukee, the guests compared
notes. I've been down at the -
store" one would say, Where is
your booth?" "Oh, I've been at -"
the other would reply and then they'd
have a point OF contact. Such thor
ough discussion OF this national work
as ensued it would be hard to dupli-
cate.
How many members did you get
today" is a favorite question. Ban
dage rolling and the making of sur
gical dressing have lost some OF their
interest in the new food of Red
Cross work. The interesting matter
that is taught in first aid classes fur
nishes a splendid theme Of CONVEX
sation and it is said that numerous
foolish questions arc features OF these
lessons.
Paramount in importance this week
is the work OF enlisting members in
the Red Cross. Rivalry between the
members OF booth committees is high
and they work necessarily. From
early morning when the stores open
until late at night when the theaters
close they work away. At the Or
pheum last evening. where Mrs.
Franklin Shotwell and her helpers
are in charge, they enrolled at the
evening performance only out-of-town
people.
For the guests OF honor at yester-
DAYS tea a number of small parties
are being given this week. Mrs. Wur-
ster leaves Monday for her home in
Milwaukee. Today Mrs. c. F. Nc
Grew had an informal luncheon party
ut the Fontenelle for Mrs. Z. A. Wur-
ster, ST., of Milwaukee, which in
cluded Mcsdames Wilson Austin,
Robert Gilmore, Charles D. Beaton,
Edwin Wurster, jr., and M. c. Pc
tiers.
Thursday afternoon Mrs. Robert
Gilmore will give box party at the
Orpheum for the Mesdames Wurster,
Austin, McGrew, Beaton and Miss
Amy Gilmore. Each Monday Mrs.
McGrew is at home for her daughter,
Mrs. Austin, which friends consider
. most delightful way Of meeting.
