TDUCATION is a matter of
opinion Some seek education
in one avenue and some III
another. hut one is, perhaps. no more
educated than another. Therefore,
education becomes matter of
opinion, more or less, which elm
mated any possibility of offense in
this story.
One of Omaha's brightest and
most successful business women
was member of a group who mo-
tored through the coast towns of
California recently. They were all
charmed and filled with awe at the
wonderful views of ocean boule-
wards, semi-tropical scenery and
natures wonders presented in rapid
panorama. A huge sign reading DE
Tour 10 miles was one of the OBJ
jects which attracted their atten-
ton. Said the successful and charm
ing business woman from Omaha:
Nov | wonder just what sort OF a
town that is? Suppose we'd better
have lunch there"
THE new Dolmans are very fasci-
mating and most becoming, we
= admit. One has such Queen
Anne-ish feeling when wearing
them. But we hear on good author
ity that they are not so popular
with the sterner sex. Yes, really,
the horrid things object to them be-
cause they have such difficulty in
locating the arm of their fair COM
panion when they try to CALAMITY
assist her IN crossing a street. It's
a distressing situation!
The poor man hunts about amid
lmaze of satin and gaberdine for
an arm that he may anchor himself,
and the search is often fruitless. We
know of one little up-to-the minute
maid who purchased one of the new
wraps last fall. Complaints were
immediately registered by her very
special man friend and he has watch
cd the calendar anxiously for signs
OF spring. He felt sure that with
the first daffodil Miss Chic would
purchase a new spring coat with
regular sleeves.
Dark disappointment! Deep cha
grin! For this is what she said the
other day. ...s
~You know I've been window
shopping, and all the coats are just
like mine! Isn't that lucky? l can
Just save my coppers, for I won't
need a new one"
ITS all wrong, it's all wrong"
9roaned the mere man.
TRAN maids are the latest wrin-
(r kle! No their hair is not sill
~ very nor their compilations,
but their gowns, my dearl In the
very smartest homes in the east the
housemaids are gowned in Quaker
gray and we understand that they
harmonic beautifully with the in
terror decorations. Can't you imag
inc a bronze haired siren, attired in
this soft shade, welding buster or
talking your card at the door! Such
harmony, such a delight to the eye!
And the fad has reached Our fair
city! Oh, yes, Omaha is never far
behind no matter if it be shaving the
eyebrows or wearing feminalls to a
tea dance. Mrs. Louis Clarke. one
of our most charming hostesses, in
troduced the gray maids, and at
very exclusive little dinner at the
Country club, the guests almost
forgot their soup in admlring the
feminine servitors in their uniforms
of the new shade. We are sure it
will take the town by storm, for the
provincial black dress and white
cap is really quite de trop. Bring
on the gray maids, we love any
thing new and different,
MO MATTER whether you are
N among the TORS or the
~ "againsts" in this powder
and rouge question, we must all ad
NIT there is time, place, and should
be a girls face, in the mixture. One
Omaha matron, however, believes
that rouge 10 rouge, and good for
any purpose. She declares she is a
firm believer in rouge, and plenty
OF it. So when we tell you that at
a recent children's party the pink
frosted cakes were the subject of a
\ great deal of congratulation. and
everyone spoke of the delicious
frosting, you will not wonder why
the hostess gave very sketchy re-
plies. But after all the guests had
departed and the last Pickering
lights of a finished feast had gone
out, Gabby imposed upon good ma
ture and took advantage of friend
ship when she inquired into the
pink secret of the delicious frosting.
well, I'll tell YOU" said the host
ess. when we were making those
cake. I found that I hadn't a bit of
pink coloring for the frosting, and
SO | just poured a lot of that new
liquid rouge l bought in white frost
ing and put it on the, cakes. They
look all right and taste all right, but
I'm just praying that the rouge was
harmless and that the children will
survive"
nRESS-UP week brought many
ii a smile to brightly dressed
folks and to automobiles, even
to little Tin Lizzies." When Mrs.
Franklin Shotwell was strolling
down Farnam street one of these
dress-up days she noticed a real
Paisley shawl draped over the hood
OF said Lizzie" Thereupon she was
struck with the germ of a bright
idea (she's full of these idea germs.)
s note she pinned to the shawl
which read thus: IF you wish to
sell this for S., take it to the Allah
Shnn and AZ. .a.a.n L
