Omaha daily bee., 1919-01-05
Dear Readers ALL:

starting out, by attending every
sale in town. My heart is quite sat-
ished for today I've helped several
Polly" friends choose what you
think most becoming" always a
source of deepest joy.
If only we'd always be sincere
with ourselves and get those things
best expressing personality, indi-
vidual garments not whims of Ca
PRECIOUS taste. To be sure it takes
time, lots of it, but that is what the
fashion people are in the world for,
to offer help in every way. Becom-
ing taste in dressing is not due to
locality (there are often very Won
derful modes shown in our own
western cities), it is largely mat
ter of comparative values. Study
yourself and your possibilities, you'll
be pleasantly surprised at the re-
suits.
You have, many Of you, written
asking the -failing-in-interest
query, what will be worm"
Don't think me extravagant when
I say, everything! Just what this
everything is to be, especially in
the Omaha shops, will be better an
swered when the buyers return from
the eastern fashion centers. Just
now, Omaha's fashion folk are
wearing charmingly attractive
clothes.
Dress up your suit in gayly (but
artistically decorated) stomacher.
I've Just Found Out the
Significance
Of THE gold, silver and red
" stripes which our soldiers are
wearing on the sleeves of their
uniforms. Gold stripes or chevrons
indicate that he has been overseas,
if six months. one stripe, If II
months two chevrons, while three
are worn for at least Is months
service overseas. The silver chev,
rons indicate service in this coun-
try, and the red stripes honorable
discharge. If silver star is worn
above the stripes you'll know at
once that you're looking at man
who was in the United States army
before the war by voluntary enlist
ment. These chevrons, (also the in
formation) I found in the Sixteenth
street and Farnam branch OF the
Megeath Stationery store, where
you will find very complete line
of military supplies, while in the
big store at Fifteenth and Farnam
I found some wonderful values in
standard makes of stationery which
are selling at half-price and less be-
cause the boxes have become soiled
during the holiday rush.
Impressive Art Treasures
A re to be seen in the showrooms
"A of the Hospe Music and Art
store, 1913 Douglas. Exquisitely
executed Roman PLAQUES represent
ing Raphael and Botticelli, Hoff-
mans Christ. Others representing
pre- Raphaelite painters, with har-
monizing tints of rare beauty in
their frames. The beautiful "Un-
known Princess" is one of these.
Delicately dainty in soft dull grays,
greens and blues are Pierre La
breaches Venetian scenes. These
enhancing bits of lowell
ness range in price from $3.50 to
So In the special showroom for
paintings, are hung two large and
important examples from the brush
of D. Sherrin, who spent a great
deal of time in England under the
tutorship of Leader, one of the
greatest of modern English land
scape painters. Reminiscent of
Grey's Elegy, these paintings show
ing peasants cottages with matched
roofs. Their colorings express most
aptly evenings misty gray and pur-
pie shadows.

Money.
