New York City. April 27.-while
there are continued rumors that the
silhouette is changing and tina: the
straight line effects are on the wane.
the smartest women appear to favor
the straight line effects. These
straight line dresses may or may
not be simple. Most of them GER
tainly have the appearance of sim
plicity. That is. they are devoid
of ruffled trimmings and dangling
ornaments which often convey to
the mind the idea of intricate de-
sign. However. straight and simple
a gown may seem there is ofttimes
considerable cut and considerable
trimming.
The trimming on these simple
dresses is usually hand embroidery
done in silk or beads or braiding in
elaborate design. Then again one
sees wide braid. or bands of satin.
taffeta, or moire laid in rows on the
frock. Another very popular trim
ming Is the very narrow, stubby
fringe. These trimmings are ap-
piled Unfortunately on any sort
of material. And one may. with
perfect propriety. use any one of
these trimmings on serge, Jersey.
any sort of silk and even on georg-
ette. or chiffon.
1t seems almost needless to say,
that the hand embroidery in any of
the ways mentioned adds greatly to
the expense of the frock. These
trimmings are. of course. a matter
of choice and may. or may not he

Harvey D. Walker Files Cross
Petition In Divorce
Case.

So terrible was his home life that
he cannot look at Bringing Up

experiences recalled, is the allega-
ton Harvey D. Walker makes in a
cross petition for divorce from
HELENA c. Walker fled yesterday
in district court.
HELENA c. Walker filed a suit
for divorce in district court last
April, shortly after the suicide of
Mildred Houltz, naming Mrs. May
Houltz, Mildred's mother, CO.
respondent. In his cross petition
Mr.. Walker denies specifically all
allegations made by his wife regard
ing any improper relations with
Mrs. Houltz.
He alleges that Mrs. Walker
called the newspapers the day after
Miss Houltz committed suicide and
caused a rumor to be- started that
Miss Houltz committed suicide in
fit of dependency because of his
relations with her mother.
Just picked Up" Ride.
Mr.. Walker also denies in his
cross petition that he ever attended
a wine party on December 81, 1918,
at local hotel with other men and
women, as charged in Mrs. Walkers
petition. He declares that the night
he rode home in car he merely
picked up ride"
An elaborate synopsis of home life
is contained in Mr.. Walkers cross
petition. He says his wife threw
things at him, such as Indian clubs
and potato Washers until he was i'll.
She was jealous of every woman
he knew, he says, even of their own
daughters, and when he administer
ed friendly pat to the household
cat she objected.
Daughters Couldn't Speak.
He charges that she poisoned the
minds of his daughters against him,
would not speak to him for weeks,
and would not permit his daughters
to speak to him at times.
He alleges that his wife became
jealous of Mrs. May Houltz long
before he met her, and at one time
sprinkled formaldehyde in rags and
hung them in his room, ostensibly
to fumigate his mind, but in reality
to drive him away.
She called him boob and nut,
he charges. before his daughters.
Mr.. Walker iurthar states in his
petition that his wife was a member
of church, but during fits of jeal-
ousy used profane and vile language.
| One one occasion, Mr.. Walker says,
his wife persuaded two young men
who were accepted as company Of
his daughters, to assault him, which
they did in the presence of his
daughters, he says.
He declares in his petition that she
threatened to kill him on several oc-
casions, frequently moved the furni-
ture from their home, and had left
the city against his wishes before she
filed a petition for divorce.
Mrs. May Houltz also denies that
she had any improper relations with
Mr.. Walker. Mrs. Walker wants to
get rid of her husband. and she is
making me the goat" said Mrs.

URGES ICE SALE
ON SUNDAYS IN
SUMMER MONTHS.
Butler Wants Emergency Or
dinance to That Effect
Hospital Without Ice Last
Sunday.

CITY Commissioner Butler will ask
the city council to pass an emer-
gency ordinance to provide for deliv-
cry of ice in Omaha on Sundays dur
ing the months of June, July and
August.
This is prohibited by an ordinance
passed last spring which has worked
great hardship on many people in
the city during the hot weather.
THE Lord Lister hospital ran out
of ice last Sunday" said Mr.. Butler.
They couldn't get any anywhere.
That was terrible condition.
~ happen to know that the San
ford hotel ran out, too. Mr.. Johnson
went in an automobile to the Peo-
pies Ice Co., Thirteenth and Chicago
streets, and was fortunate enough to
find the barn man there and sue
ceeded in getting cake of ice.
"Ice men are entitled to their day
of rest, of course, but there could be
few wagons running on Sundays
to supply these emergency cases. Ice
is as much a necessity in the summer
as milk. The milk wagons haven't
been stopped from running on Sum
day."
