For the bride nothing has, or ever will

among which is pebble crepe. | can't
imagine anything more distinctive for
a springtime bride 1t is AZ inches in

Third floor Brown Block. One thing
most interesting about this shop, is
the fact that they haven't raised one

~ The little Japanese shop of the
Nippon Importing Company, 2l8 S.
Eighteenth street, offers very fine
grade of Japanese blue and white
toweling, in lovely and unusual pat
terms for ST. the bolt. Generally this
material comes in l2-inch width, and
there's only 10 yards in the piece, but
this better grade is IS inches wide
and there are IL yards in the bolt. I'm
sure you will want some of this
pretty material to fix up your summer
home. There are dainty blue and
white cups and saucers to match the
toweling. .-
TAFFETA suits for $2775-and
= they're brand new arrivals--isnt
that splendid news? l thought so when
|, saw what very clever styles they
were. But, then, you know Mr.. F. w.
Thorne has way of making mer-
chandise to make US happy these war
time days. OF course, there are higher
priced silk suits, too--some really ele-
giant models with new and noteworthy
feature trimmings. Wish I had space
to tell you about them all, but then
you'll see them for yourself, ! know,
at this shop at 1872 Farnam.
HATS are not doing anything by
- halves this season! found this
out when / visited the splendid new
Farnam Street Hat Shop of the Ne
braska Clothing Company this week
and saw some beautiful chapeaux
which had just arrived. If hats are
small, they are tres petite, but il
large, they are certainly expansive in
their ambition. In this notable col
lection o. charming millinery
thoughts there we're hats which
seemed to wish to simulate per-
feet purity, for they we're spotless
white creations. Others had dash Of
black or navy blue to add to their
chic stylefulness,--or wings, breasts,
ribbon or flowers to make them sweet
and becoming. One thing | want to
specially mention about the hats at
this shop-the prices are marked in
plain figures, and there are some per-
feet beauties for just $3.50, $3.50 and
$40.
