Fabrics Are Pleasing.

Prospects for plaids in separate
skirts for fall are regarded as very
promising. The fabric designs upon
which the manufacturers are now
working are said to be pleasing to
buyers While plated effects were
used TO some extent for the season
ended. il seems 10 be the opinion in
the trade that this constitutes no draw
back for such designs 10 be used again
with success during the coming sea-
son. 1t was pointed out by one buyer
that the plaid is not shown off TO its
best advantage unless q plat is used
and consequently such treatment is
considered 10 be the most attractive.

To Clean Lace.

Measure before washing if, as in the
case of curtains or collars, it is impor-
tant % keep the original size and
shape. Very delicate lace should be
basted carefully on 4 piece of cotton
cloth and washed on that to prevent
straining the lace. Wash in lukewarm
water and soap solution, squeezing
rather than rubbing out the dirt.
Bleach by setting in direct sunshine
and keeping moist with soap or borax
solution. Rinse thoroughly.

FALL STYLES COME
Fashion Authority Tells of the
Advance Guard.
Models in Both Style
and Beauty.

While it may seem a little early to
speak of fashions to come when all
of US are still concerned with what is
worn at this moment, the fact that the
past month has brought so many buy
ers back from Europe makes the con-
sideration of fall effects not only time
~, but interesting as well, observes a
fashion authority.
For the first time In several years
many houses have returned to their
pre-war custom of sending representa-
tives abroad, and we are. told that the
Paris shops are so filed with shop
pers that one is given a check with a
number on it so that one has to wait
ones turn to be served.
However beautiful the French
dresses and gowns may be, the fact
remains that the American coat suits
outstrip them in style and beauty also.
Perhaps this is because no other woln-
en- wear coat suits quite so success
fully as do the American. We need
not look abroad, therefore, for cut and
design of our winter suits, although We
may accept the lovely fabrics CRATE
fully.
It is said that our American makers
promise longer skirts and therefore
a three-quarter coat to top them. The
kimOno sleeve is looming up to re-
place the recent tight shoulders and
snug skin-tight sleeve. A new collar
saucer shaped, is here, out of which
we will lift our chins as we were not
able to do with the high straight
around affairs. The saucer collar fits
closely around the throat and at the
top has a wider piece so made that it
stands out and away from the face in
saucer fashion. 1t is often lined with
a shade contrasting well with the color
of the coat.
e Much embroidery is to be used, we
hear, and buttons, too, and flying pan
els to give length. Indeed, some of
these panels are most interesting, for
they float away apparently without
rhyme or reason from the top of the
coat, but are really stoles to throw
around the neck and shoulders to give
extra warmth. Now and then they
are fitted on the underside with pock-
cts of fur for the hands.
The pockets seem to be the supreme
ornament and is often huge patch of
fur or a tiny slit in the side of the
skirt or the coat. Whatever the coat,
cape wrap or one-piece dress may 9th
erwise be or have, be sure the pocket
is there somewhere. The vest will
probably disappear, as it has been
rather overdone and we have tired of
it. In its place l fear we will have
an influx of the Russian blouse or
Cossack coat, since the manufacturers
first showing of models seems all to
present the full overhanging waist eff
feet easily obtained in this style of
coat. The belt and sash will, doubt
less, because of this trend, play as
important a part as the pocket.

in his studies, though his time for

Berger was employed as carpenter

His craving to attain to a profession,
particularly to that of lawyer,
meant extremely hard work and even

For four years, less than one hour

The growing demand for vacant
lots in Omaha is attributed to real
tors to two causes:
First-The constantly rising price

Second-A belief that prices OF
building materials will not decrease
much this year in Omaha.
In the first place, prospective
home owners are finding that they
can build a new house about as
economically as hey can buy an old
one. -.
In the second place, th'se who
are planning to build, beginning to

that they will not make anything
