THE OMAHA D AILY SALT WATER STYLES, h and Coquettish Before. NEW YORK, April 25.—A flannel that will not shrink and a mohair with a thread of pure wool in it are {nventions that prom- ise to make for the happiness of the women who relish thelr salt sea baths. Two months ago the noveltles in bathing suits were sold to the happy few who seek the Florida beaches and the West India islands in the depths of our winter, and the non- shrinkable flannel and the wool warp mo- halr were pronounced worthy of a long perfod of watery usefulness, The im- proved flannel does not thicken or shrink atter prolonged wear, the mohalr is given virtue of a heavier thread A NET ROBE WITH LACE and the shoppers for bathing suits ask with rare exceptions for white and silver gray swimming costumes only. White suits, garnished with braid, or stitched bands, or facings of & clear, cheer- tul color, promise to predominate on the sands this summer, though there are a few expert floaters and paddlers who ask for all white beach gowns, and there is always the wise and temperate stout woman who clings to black and dark biue. Given a white flannel or alpaca, the rule is to round blouse of it out flat about the neck with & square sallor, or long dress coat collar. A eallor's vest fits into the V in front and a floating scart of gay, washable silk knots in a four-in-hand on the bust. The Dominant Collar. Very. much stress is laid on the collar's pe and a most surprising amount of ation is expended on its decoration. There are shawl collars that roll back over the shoulders with straight-edged or Dotched revers tapering as far as the waist Une; short, shaped collars and double sail- ors. Some of them are bralded in patterns, some are bound with a color and speckled with French knots on the broad binding, ®ome bave gay applications of elaborate colored silk, or flannel, or linen flowers, and some show stitched straps further set off by groups of tiny pearl buttons. Whatever may be the decoration of the collar its form and color are the motifs used in repetition on the belt and dress hem, and, while ail collars are flat, no pretty or fashionable sults are ever cut more open in the neck than is in accord- ce with the custom followed by profes. slonal sallors. Sleeves are shorter than T. A puff or broad band covering just tho top of the arm is the requisite of fashion, and the blouses pouch and bag more generously than ever. A woman who kpows how to set her figure off to advan- in the water will never economize in the material of her bathing sult. A wide oollar and a full shirt increase the slimn of walst and hip and the one fault to be found with the models of beach dresses shown for this seasonm is the scanty hip Measure allowed them. A corseted fgure in a habit back dress is not to be criti- clsed, but the habit back bathing suit is a downright atroeity. Bathing Skirts, Numbers of women who take their fashions with a pinch of are ordering their bathing skirts made with three pleats folded toward the central rear seam of the skirt and the placket hole opens a little 1o the left side in fromt. Others pleat the ekirt all around in folds deep enough to throw the fullness of & flounce in at the bottom. Such pleats are stitohed down fiat and the proper way of achleving this fesult is shown in a sketch of two white fannel and one silver gray mohair suit Bllver gray, by the way, is by no means & poor cholce for a bathing suit when touches of sea green are introduced in the decoration or warm coral red is worn with it. Gay Water Kerchiefs, ‘The scarlet, white, navy blue and bright plaid handkerchiefs will be worn As usual over the ofled silk caps as halr protectors, and the proper bathing stocking is black, with what are called triple feet, to protect tender soles and toes from rough stones. ‘The best bathing hose are worn with sup- porters that are [ ed to the belt of th blouse and finish in loops that catch about buttons in the stocking’s tops.

Boating Togmery. in the true seaside, yachting and plain boating dresses the struggle this spring is between wool and linen. Cotton beach and deck suits have been weighed in the bal- ance and found wanting, and the oddest compromlises are now seen of wool suits trimmed with linen and linen skirts and walsts welghted with wool bands, collars, cufts, ete. The most eumptuous thing in yachting tollet s a colored linen encrusted with very stout guipure or Russian lace, under which the goods is cut away to show ENCRUSTATIONS. white linen beneath. A hat of colored linen | quito overlaid with lace and bearing big white or gray wings is a chosen accompan!- ment to this. The bond of union between wool and linen is clearly set forth in the sketch of an ideal boating sult in sapphire blue Trou- ville serge; a lightweight, springy and al- most dustproof goods. Straps of turquolse blue linen are stitched on skirt and walst, and a little chemisette and scart of linen, in the same tint, fills in the open space left by the broad rolling collars. The remain- der of this simple scheme of decogption is carrled out in flat dots embroldered on in ‘“')1‘1"‘" blue linen thread 3 of ktitched iblue linen, with a pair of dark blue. wings, .gives the reasonable finale fo.a quite perfect costume. Homburg Robes. Net robes treated with the Inevitable lace encrustations, or trails of applied silk figures braided down on the tramsparent web, are called Homburg robes, or spa cos- tumes, because there is a tradition that they were first worn at those gay health resorts of Germany and Switzerland, Over here we glve them no special name, but no woman feels she can clearly read her title as a fashionable woman unless she owns one of these confections. If she is an eco- nomical woman she buys a point esprit robe threaded with applications of imita- tion Irish lace or.point de Venice; If she enjoys a long purse she buys a complete robe of what Is called lace net and on this appear applications of silken flowers, Brus- sels e, real Valenciennes flounces at the foot and motifs of the richest guipure lald on wherever a space or opportunity offers. To tell the truth, we wear too much las and the rich women are to blame. They Itke to have their gowns of solid duches: ruffied with mechlin and overlaid with the most costly Florentine Renalssance, and though the result is rich in the extreme, it is not artistic at all. A Summer Dinner Dre Another vulgarity of fashion is the spang- ling of real lace, and all the lace inlald sllk muslins are bespangled llke the heav- ens on a clear night. One of the chaster sorts of lace garnished robes is sketched to show the form of the most modish pos- sible summer dinner dress. This is a pearl gray point esprit woven with tiny black @ote and dropped on an under siip of rosy lllac. Very delicate tendrils of imitation chantilly are applied with big convention- alized silk passion flowers, Lilac chiffon flounces, edged with black baby velvet rib- bon, fluft at the foot. Among the dainty inventions for the glorification of an even- ing tollet are the boas, shoulder knots, ete., made of chiffon roses. Tralls of these dell- lovely flowers are appearing on the gowns of the spring debutantes and all the young girls take & lively satisfaction in the big Liberty satin ribbon roses that are made for the hair. Green, blue, red, white and yellow roses are all made of ribbon loops, and one such blossom nestled in the low-piuned folds of hair is esteemed an adequate and becoming ornament. X MARY DEAN.

Dentists have an excellent opportunity for ' observing the varying distinctive actione of men and women while endurng the intenee pain usually accompanying dental surgery and they are authority for the statement that men are “natural born cowards” when it comes to facing an operation which they know will set their nerves to jumping and cause them much physical suffering A woman will sit for hours and allow a any number of sharp steel Inetruments that he chooses to use, without whimpering, and it the operation is not completed she will come back the next day and have the pain- ful ordeal repeated. But a man! Not so with him. He may show up for the first day's treatment, but the chances are that on the second day his appointment will re- main, unkept. He hasn’t the necessary nerve.and inclination to subject himselt to another siege of torture, and so he gives the dentist's office a wide berth. It is\00t-a faot, however, that all men are cowarde when facing a dental ohair, nor | 18 it trye that all women are brave under milar circumstances, but, taken as a class and viewed under the inspecting glass ot the D. D. S, women show more courage than men when called upon to endure treat- ment which at the best s anything but pleasant, A Chicago dentist has observed the dis- tinctive characteristics of men and women Who occupy his chair from day to day and has gathered some Interesting facts. ‘The actions of a man in my chalr are as differ- ent from those of a woman as day is from night,” he said to a Chicago Tribune re- porter. “In the first place a woman will present herselt at the appointed time, trembling perhaps, but determined to see it through, no matter how great the pain may be. She gets into the chair, settles back against the head-rest, and, though she may fiinch when the nerves are aggravated, she will not utter one word of complaint. ( “A man comes in maintaining a bluster- | ing, bravado attitude and gets into the chalr with so much apparent resignation and determination that if you never had | seen a man in a dentist’s office before,you would declare he was woman's superior in | point of bravery at every point. But just walt. The minute you begin to burt him | vou hear eomething, and this something | depends. upon the religlous tendencles of the particular man.

What is more, she will keep her word. But a man will go away gnashing his teeth, and the chances are you won't see+him again You have to use all sorts of him back. The fact of the matter is he hasn't the courage to undergo a repetition of the pain to which he has been subjected. “There is another great difference be- tween men and women which involves pere sonal pride. If a woman has bad teeth she wants them treated in the best possible way, no matter how much physical suffer- ing is involved. She will sit for a whole day and subject herself to any sort of treat- ~ S A BLUE TROUVILLE YACHTING GOWN, ment in order to have a crooked tooth straightened or some other natural defect remedied. This, of course, is largely a matter of pride, but a man won't do it. He wants good work, certainly, but he wants it dome in the least painful manner, and isn’t g0 particular about his personal ap- pearance that he is willing to endure ‘tor- ture’ to bring about the result. In justice to the men it must be said that in casas of sudden shock they have more nerve than women. This is evident in the pulling of A tooth. A man stands this ordeal better than & woman, but where endurance enters into the operation he is not her equal in point of nerve, in any respect.” For and About Women.

About a year ago a woman sued a strect rallway company on account of injuries sustained. The courts decided that she could not recover in such a case, because, according to an old law still on the statute books, a woman was the servant of her husband and was not entitled to her own wages. Mrs. Lillle Devereux Blake thereupon got a judge of the state supreme court to draw up a bill reforming this conditions of things. That is the measure which has now become a law. “‘The Little Madame with the Iron Cri Baroness von Olenhausen, born Phinney Lexington, Febru 4, 1817, die home in her nat was a factory girl in Mancheste 1 in the carly days of cotton mills, belng & designer of callcoes, and there she met and married Baron 'von Olenhausen, who was chemist in the same mill, a man whom Theodore Parker called “the most profound echolar I have ever known."

Employers Should be More Oonsid- erate. Mrs. Pinkham Asks Tired Women to Write Her for Advice. In the vast retall establishments of large cities, many women are employed as saleswomen. Men formerly held the positions that women now hold, and while women’s organism is less strong than men’s, they are expected to do the same work. Their duties compel them to be on their feet from morning to night, and many of them, in a short time, contract those distressing complaints called “female diseases.” Then occur irregularities, suppressed or weakness, indigestion, leucorrheea, general debil tration. They are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness, las tude, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, “all-gone " and “ant-lu»bc-{ch-llane ” feelings, blues, and hopelessness, In such cases there is one tried and true remedy.
