THE OMAHA DAILY BEE SUNDAY, JUNE 3, 1894-TWENTY PAGES. TROMPET OF DAME GRUNDY A Worldly Critic Admires the Omaha Girl but fays Bhe is Not Bwell Enough. SHE REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRESS Advis's Our Girls to Seek Blood and not Set Thelr Caps for Packing House Clerss Bank Collectors—Feminine Facts and Fanc es. wnd N 7n gpeaking of young ladies I mean unmar- led Tdies, for the young married women of Omaha, with but two or three exceptions, aré_old the moment they pronounce thé mar- rlages vow." Just as soon as a young couple become engaged they are virtually out of soclety. Everyone kncws all about jt, and they are treated with the same curiosity that one finds in the small country towns. A tranger'In Omaha with a modern cut t would attract no more attention than an avowed lover, and sur A stranger with a modern coat comes In the way of a curfosity. So married women are old women and we will speak of them at another time The Omaha belles are Just ax pretty as the belles of other cities. The southern beauty, 80 often spoken and written about, is not wore perfect than the beauty found right here in Omaha, and I must admit that no one appreclates it more than the gallants who enjoy It, The young man in Omaha who has a homely girl must be unattractive indeed But let him be as attractive as he may he will never have more than one girl at a time, This is one of Omana's provincial- isms, The Omaha girl is pretty; she Is grace ful, she is vivaclous; never cold, and only formal when it Is proper. More often we will find her dreadfully fmproper, but de- lightfully innocent. She 15 not swell. S has no more fdeas about chess than a gir from Grand Island would have. She wears big sleeves made out of some soft cloth so that they will lay down nice and smooth and not attract any attention. If there Is cne thing that frightens an Omaha girl more than another it is con- spicuousness. Would she wear whale bones In her sleeves? No. Somebody might re- niark it, and that would mortify her dread- fully. This modesty {8 carried almost to the verge of ridiculousness. 1 have beer introduced to young ladles, daughters of rich merchants and bankers, who dress, when upon the strect, In clothes little bet- ter than shabby. Many u time I have ayoided meeting them %0 as to save myself the mortification of recognizing them. - + She has not the faintest idea of appropri- atengss. She will wear an Eaton Jjacket, shirt waist and russet shoes on Sunday, and possibly she may wear them to church. Now why is this? Is it because that she does not know that while 1n town negligee cannot be worn on Sunday, or because she has no other wearing apparel? Let us hope that it Is the latter reason that prompts her to so grossly insult propriety in dress. 1 have scen young ladies tn church with duckings, both in shoes and dress, while other young ladies, going for a drive, will don some modest gown 80 as not to be con- . spicuous. As for hats, it appears to me.that the eailor is worn any place, from a requiem mass to a lawn tennis tournament. There is no place so sacred that it wil not be invaded by the “sailor’ of an Omaha girl: ' How she walks. Just like a chicken. The Almighty gave her legs and power to move them. This she does, and nothing more. The idea of walking in any particular style never entered ber head. She has heard that it is propek to swing one's shoulders. This some of the' Omaha girls do to such an exte L:%l 4t really makes me quite giddy, and I tempted to rush up and catch th fore_they -lose their balance. arg{1s but one young lady in Omaha who knows how to walk. You have un- doubtedly seen her on the streets as well as L. She also carries lorgnettes, and, in my opinion, is the only young lady in Omaha with*blue blood. k It is perfgctly evident to me that the young ladies in this town have been imper- fectly instructed in their dancing. If this were not %0 they would never walk s0 abominably. Many stoop over, and others walk as though they were leaving their feet behind them. Now, dear girls, whatever stooping you do, do it from your waist and keep your feet In front of you. Swinging s proper, but swing your whole body and step high, that fs, pick your feet off the pavement and let them down agaln with decision, just as If you knew they were there. From time to time the style in walking changes, but these changes are never radical and are very easily acquired after one once learns how to walk. There is still another style In walking and it never changes, that 1s, it has not changed since our grandmothers were girls. This is the ball room walk, or the walk that is used in the house. You have 1o Idea how out of place a really swell street strlde looks In the parlor. This ball room walk is the essence of gracefulness and was not invented to save time or cover ground. Any one, naturally graceful, with study aand practice can learn this walk. The shoulders are held a la mili- taire, and the legs are used springy as pos- sible with only enough swing to the arms to give the figure composure. 1 once knew a young lady who learned to walk this way without assistance, but then she could walk no other way and was dread- fully bad form on the street, Now, I would advise the girls who wish to acquire these necessary accomplishments to first obtain an able master and then to prac- tice continually. In New York many of the young ladies be- long to classes where walking is taught as an art. Her flirtations, oh, they are terribl At least that's what she thinks. She actually -glanced out of the side of her eye once, but then it was at an actor, and she has never forgiven herself for being so naughty. 1t is lucky for her that she never tried It again, for the busybody is now shadowing her. The only women in Omaha who have any freedom are the widows, and they do have a jolly time. Girls, don't you wish you were Widows? Then you could let your sparkling eyes twinkle to their heart's content. Then you would not freeze our young blood with those cruelly cold glances, but accidentally drop your dalaty handkerchlef, so that we might with proper gallantry return it to you, I do not wish my gentle readers to think that I apprave of flirting. On the contrary. 1 consider ihe actions commonly called flirt- ing as the height of impropriety, for it may lead one into the most undesirable complica- tions. Yet a glance, a smile can do no harm, and romance is the spice of life, Her love affairs are numerous. “They usually cover a long period of time before the intended actually appears. This Is the reason that so many of our maiden acquain- tances don't look 50 young as they did An Omaha girl might love more times than she has fingers and toes, and yet she will love sincerely each time. ' Her passion i8 as pure as herself, and if her lover be elther rich or poor her love remains the same, In less provincial places than Omaha women have grown practical, and now look upon money as the first consideration. They do not marry for money, yet they do not permit themselves to love any one without money. This Is the only safeguard soclety has to protect itself from the inroads of the rabble. The young ladies should consider this serlously, it it does not spoll a young lady to consider anything seriously. Although the soclety in Omaha at present 18 in the happy condition where it would ble to spoll it, yet the young ladies that this state of things d the power to better it lies in thelr hands. I mean that the young ladies of means should not throw themselves away upon these clerks and ready made. dudes, even though they might be manly fello: What society wants 1s blood, not the gross unconventionalities of a pack- ing house clerk or strong-minded bank col- lector, Ladies, love and marry gentlomen, not those parodies who wear their hair parted on the side and go to the opera in a sack suit Remember Omaba s gradually shaking off the mesh of the wild and woolly, and if Dlood s not here, why, then, import it. 1 do not approve of international marriages, yet many of thein have proved happy. Set your cap for a young man who represents some cultured family in any of our eastern citles, where they are plentifal. Of course, you must pot expect to get a rich gentle- man, as such an one would not likely marry a western girl, for a western alllance would hardly be advantageous to a gentleman al- ready possessed of money. An Omaba girl's love s like an extra edi- tion of The Bee, every one sees it. She Is 80 self-conscious that her friends rush up to her and say, 'Oh, Jennle, what alls you; are you in love?" and then, of course, Jenny pleads gulity of the charge and tells how Jack proposed, ete., etc. Then when Jack shows his face again we may pity him, for every girl e meets will know all about it, nd " will ‘say, “'Oh, Jack, how is she? ‘Who?" asks Jack. "“Oh, you know who!" will be the response. This feminds me of my country cousins who live in Maine, where they stifl go a-courtin’ amd sparkin’, Such childishness is beyond all-excuse, and I have leard much of it while In Omaka. Any woman who has this inquisitiveness can never be a social success, and [ would advise her not to leave Omaha, for such apparent ill-breeding would not be tolerated olsewhere Her broeding has in the moral sense been exemplary. . Mamma seers o have intended her for a cannibal missionary or teacher of the bible class, but not as a soclety woman Whatever little coquettish wiles she learns must be through experfence, for mamma dreamt of such a thing, and the prin- all soclety are unknown to he she will probably some day but the prospect dees not n particle; never loves' a man for money, or be- n ciples of so She is told t cause he has a better soclal poeition than she can command, for mamma said she mustn't. Mamma says that such marriages are unhappy, and papa says that if Jennie will make gome man as good a wife as mamma has been, then he will die happ; Such were the ideas of our grandparents Why should we cling to them at this late date? One would think that a woman mar- ried for no other reason than to raise chii- dren. My dear girls, get these ideas out of your head. We do not have marriages thesc days. We merely enter into an alliance, and the propagation of the race is' le CREM DE M the classes, As the time approaches to leave the city for sea shore and mountains many women are filled withi envy when they sce a favor- ite of fortune who is blessed with natural ringlets. She can go through a drizzling rain, a sea turn, a dense fog, or a sea bath and ‘come out looking particularly charming with the little damp clustering curls about her face, while the unfortunates present a decidedly bedraggled and forlorn appearance with ~straight and strageling locks. But there seems to be a remedy for this misfor- tune, and this remedy has attained a great degree of perfection within the last few vears, says the New York Sun. Though one's hair cannot be made to retain the de- #ired kinks, natural curls can be bought - and - substituted. The only dratwback is that they are @ very expensive luxury. Naturally wavy hair being rare and difficult to procure, the price of it is high. The manufacturers of coiffures often pay as high as $250 a pound. If the hair is white it costs from $450 to $1,800 a pound. The old-fashioned wig is no more, néw false pieces taking its place. These false pleces are exceedingly light, being made of a emall piece of tulle. The hair is sewed into the tulle, which Is in- visible when on the head. Pointe d'Alen- con is a lace manufactured for this pur- pose. It ts made especially strong, so that it will often last two years vr more without a break. The false pieces come in small fluffy bangs that cannot be told from ome's own hair. Then there is a coiffure that is made for seashore wear or when one is tra eling and waving the hair has to be dis- pensed with. One's own hair may b pushed smoothly back as the “front piec covers nearly the whole head. The back piecs is simply a bunch of curls on a long hair- pin, which is used to form a knot. . This may be arranged very quickly, as braids and twists are done away, with. Pretty coiffures are also’made for those who are losing their hair or are already slightly bald about the temples. Then sometimes the hair has been burned and hurt by using hot frons so that it can no longer be curled and some kind of a false plece is desired that the hair may be al- lowed to rest and grow. One of the newest styles and a great fa- vorite has the hair drawn back from the cen- ter of the forehead and short curls on either side. < When the baldness becomes more pro- nounced there are pieces arranged to wave at the sides of the head, going in with the back hair, and complete wigs, made so per- fect that it takes a keen ob erver to be positive that they are wigs, may be had \hen the head has become almost entirely ald. Here Is a rather pretty story which is vouched for by a London journal, showing how a small baby once got his mother into serious difficulties and then made amends by getting her out of them again. It seem that a poor seamstre:s with a child in her arms was tried for the theft of three gold coins, She sald In defense: ‘1 went to my employer's house on business. I car- ried my child in my arms, a: it is now, I was not paying attention to it. There were several gold colns on the mantel- plece, and, unknown to me, it stretched out Its little hand and sesmed three pieces, which I did not observe until I got home. I at once put on my bonnet and was going back to my employer to return them when I was arrested. This is the solemn truth, as 1 hope for heaven's mercy." The court could not believe this story. They upbraided the motner for her im- pudence in endeavoring to palm off such a falsehood for the truth. But she so per- tinaciously asserted her innocence that a novel experiment was made In her favor. One of the officials proposed to renew the scene described by the mother. The gold coins were place on the clerk’s table. The mother was requested to resume the posi- tion in which she stood at her employer's house. There was then a breathless pause in court. The baby soon discovered the bright coins, eyed them for a moment, smiled and then clutched them in its fingers with a miser's eagerness. The mother was at once acquitted. Messrs. Allen and Sachtleben, the two young American students who made a tour around the world on bicycles, tell many in- teresting stories of their experiences in Asia. In the first of a series of articles written for the Century, which appears in the May number, they' give the following account of the dishes that were set before them in Tur- key: As all cooking and eating had stopped at the sound of the morning cannon, we found great difficulty in gathering together even in a cold breakfast of ekmek, yaourt and raisins. Ekmek is a cooked ®rain-flour paste, which has the thinness, consistency and almost the taste of blotting paper. This is the Turkish peasant's staff of life. He carries it with him everywhere; so did we. As it was made in huge circular sheets, we would often punch a hole in the middle and slip it over our.arms. This we found the handiest ‘and most serviceable mode of transportation, being handy to eat with it without removing our hands from the handle-bars, and also answering the purpose of sails in case of a favoring wind. Yaourt, auother almost universal food milk curdled with rennet. This, as s all foods that are not liquid, they up with a roll of ekmek, part of the scoop being taken with every mouthful. Raisins here, as well as in many other parts of the country, are very cheap. We pald two plasters (about § cents) for an oche (two and a half pounds), but we soon made the discovery that a Turkish oche contained a great many “'stones’ —which, of course, was purely ac- cidental. Eggs, also, we found exceedingly cheap. On one oecasion twenty-five were set before us, in response to our call for eggs to the value of one piaster—il cents, In Asfatic Turkey we had some extraordi- nary dishes served to us, including daintily prepared leechies. But the worst mixture, perhaps, was the ‘“‘Bairam soup,” which coutains over a dozen Ingredients, includ- ing peas, prunes, walnuts, cherries, dates, white and black beans, apricots, cracked wheat, raisins, etc.—all mixed in cold water. Balram is the period of feasting after Ramadan fast. the In one particular, at least, Philadelphla soclety occuples an almost unique position in this country. This pecullarity is .its absolute disregard for money. The man with a long rent roll is no more favored than the clerk who Is dependent on his small salary in a downtown office; the girl who has to make her own ball dresses re- ceives just as much attention as her social er who buys hers in Paris, and It s a fact that the man who marries a rich girl in the Quaker City is usually regarded with severe suspicion. Philadelphia soclety |s formed on a basis of Philadelphia birth, says a writer in Harper's Magazine, and it has not very much regard for anything else A man who boasts of a grandfather born in the Quaker City, according to the notions of this old soclety, is considerably more of a perion than another man who can trace his family back ten generations in any other state. A young Philadelphla matron to my kncwledge had to choose as a guest for dinner between a commonplace girl with a lcng Philadelphia pedigree and a very bright and amusing girl who had a perfectly secure position in New York. Without a moment's hesitation the hostess chose the common- place Phitadelphian, and she did it with the full knowledge that by so doing she would give the greater satisfaction to her guests, who all happened to be from her own city [ simply state this to show that Phila- delphians above all else love their own, and to be born and bred in their city is the highest honor which they recognize. So far as the usual soclal functions are concerned. iose of Philadelphia do not differ very materially from those of other cities, except in the fact that the debutantes form the axle about which the soclal eircle revolves From two to three years s the usually allotted time In which a girl plays an active part in Philadelphla society. Then she generally has a pensive wedding, and retires to an Inexpensive married existence on Locust street Almost ery city has its Brides' Row Philadelphia 18 no exception. The only dif- ference fs that the houses on Locust street are probably smaller than any other brides houses in the world, and show an architect- . and in this respect ural variety in their fronts which mukes the castles of Chiago's North Side drive ap- pear absolutely plain A light wrap is considered a necessary addition to a summer outfit, says the fashion cditor of the New York Sun, and whether it is needed or not it fs the fashion to have capes, coats and jackets of various kinds. Capes are, as they have been for some time, the most desirable garment extant, for, no matter what proportion the sleeve assumes, the cape adjusts itself to the required size. Light transparent black materials, such as silk muslin. chiffon and net. are used for some of the more gauzy affairs, which are well named “cool mantles,” for the element of warmth is entirely lacking. However, they afford all the thickness that is needed, and fulfill their mission by looking pretty and giving a finishing touch to the street tollet. The most fashfonable ones are very short, and often built in two or three stories; for instance, a moire foundation will have a second cape of finely plaited chiffon spangled at the edge, while the third-cape will be of Jetted net or old guipure lace, witn full ruche of ostrich feathers or quilted tulle around the neck. A very dainty and summery cape is made of finely plaited black chiffon over a second cape of the same material in glowing cerise, yellow or white. The black cape I§ caught up with satin bows on the shoulder. A yoke of spangles or net, around which the flounces of chiffon are shirred, makes it very pretty. One of the season’s shapes has long stole ends in front, but it is not a favorite style, as ends are said to add age to the figure, which, if true, its fate is settled beyond help. The old fogies may frown and look askance if they will, but meanwhile the cycle girl continues to roll along just the same. And the longer she rides her two- wheeled Pegasus the better acquainted she becomes with his back, says the Brooklyn Times. Her favorite is averse to skirts, and it his rider does not finally discard them it will not be because Pegasus has not mdde plenty of objections to such obstructions. Narrow skirts are out of the question, as they do not permit sufficient freedom of mo- tion. Wide skirts are nearly as bad, for the wind generated by the rapid motion blows the folds tight about the body and im- pedes progress as much as those which are made narrow. If the only reason for re- taining the obfectionable- petticoat 18 that they are more modest, this will not defend them sufficiently, for they do not conceal the figure so successfully as the loose trousers called bloomers. i At a meeting of a dress reform club re- cently it was decided that the nearest ap- proach to man's attire was the most con- venient, as well as the most graceful cos: tume. Women have overcome their scruples sufficiently to wear the modern bathing suit. They will doubtless do the same in the case of bicycle costumes. The French women have already assumed them as a matter of course. The blouse and short skirt is of dark gray waterproof goods. The band around the bot- tom of the skirt, the belt, the lower sleeves and the V plastron are all of black. Straps of the gray are stitched down on the shoulders and sleeves. A small black hat with a quill completes the costume. It is a common opinion that our girls have grown to be mere butterfly lassies, as changeful as the colors of the chameleon, But is it all their fault, suppo:ing the state- ment to be true? How can a girl brought up to have what she likes, when she likes it, no matter what the cost, ever learn to think in regard to the use and abuse of money? asks the Philadelpnia Times. 1 know of one father who mnever allows his daughter to have more than $1 or $2 in money, but she can charge to any amount— consequently she does charge in a reckless manner and never considers cost wheh items are to go on the bill. But she will worry and frot over cash expenditures ull her pretty head is nearly distraught. Women should have more lberty finan- clally. To receive money doled out in pitiful amounts by a husband or fathef is simply maddening. If a woman were allowed a cer- tain amount she would soon grow accustomed to It, and would make every dollar count. Nothing so broadens and expands character as trust. The best deeds have often been ac- complished by inferior people who have risen to the occasion by aid of the trust placed upon them. If the girls realized the moral re- sponsibility of money and were allowed to use it more as they chose, they would soon grow to enjoy spending money to the best advantage, feeling a sort of partnership in the funds which it is to their Interest to dispose of well. Lock up the coffers; never let the women know the incomes they are to draw from; tell them they couldn't under- stand business even if it were explained to them, and of coursc the result is a “butter- fiy girl.” A suggestion from a very high quarter has lately been the means of creating an invention by which the whole traveling world will doubtless benefit. It occurred to her royal highness, Princess Christian, when ordering one of Messrs. Drew's ‘enroute’ tea baskets that the conveniences of the basket would be immensely increased if the tea, coffee or any other liquid could be kept hot, Instead of the traveler belng compelled, heretofore, to expend time in bolling the Kettle, making the tea, etc. The expression of this desire on the part of her roval high- ness has led the firm at Piccadilly circus to devise an admirable apparatus wherein two vessels (say of coffes and milk) can be inserted containing the hot-beverages, and can be left there for the space of even six hours without the contents suffering any appreciable chill. In the basket made for the princess the bottles are of an extra thick kind of nickel silver, and are placed in a case of nonhest-conducting material, and the cups and saucers with which the basket is furnished are made of the finest white Stourbridge china. For the use of the general public s'miiar baskets are being rapidly manufactured large enough to con- tain luncheon (including, for instance, a tureen of soup or a dish of hot stew) for & party of several persons.

Bodices have absorbed all the decorations which skirts have discarde b a compensa- tion for their simplicity, and are more trimmed than ever.

Open-work embroidery {s fast gaining favor and is now done on the colored cham- bery as well as the white and ecru mull. It is used extensively on vne gown, some- times forming the entire front of the skirt Among the delicate cclored organdies 80 pretty for summer gowns there are bright poppy reds and dark navy blue. The red gowns are very striking. trimmed with black lace, and the blue is pretty adorned with white, Fans are much sma than heretofore, and the most fa are the pretty Empire air givers, mou on tortoise shell sticks of yellow. Others are embroidered very finely with baby ribbon, in Louls XIV. styles, and {lluminated with spangles. Solid colors, such as the deep Du Barre rose, myrtle green, turqoise, celadon, old blue and yellow are much liked, ornamental bands on engraved fleur-de-lis, crescents or tiny flowerets are a relfpf to the monotony of the one color in dinner sets. Lace trimmed hats have only a skull crown of fancy straw, surrounded with a wide flounce of lace held out to form an irregularly fdentated brim by oe- casfonal wires. The Inevitable moire bow and clusters of nodding roses complete the garniture, A novel use for ribbon consists of passing black moire ribbon an inch wide and a vard and a quarter long around the neck and fastening it with a gold or silver slide. To this Is attached a tmny watch or a fancy vinaigrette, which is tucked away in the folds of the bodice. Feminine Notes.
