THE OMAHA DAILY BEE IN THE DOMAIN OF WOMAN. == BH=: SUMMER NEXT FINERY, ce Symptoms of the Color Riot in Prespect. NEW YORK, Feb. 13.—Blest is the woman who can afford the alry fineries | which are belng worn at the southern re- | sorta just now. For, even though she may not be able to winter in the land of sun- shie, these light and dainty things will come In handy a little later on for summer wear. A3 these textures for hot weather wear show the novelties which later on may not be found at all, and since, like the | premieres of spring, models are now emil- | ing from every shop window, it is an ex- cellent time to do your summer buying. | Malds who love transparent frocks and | bodices cut out at the neck should bo in | their glory.

Curious to relate, the French are attrib- uting many of their styles to our country. The decolletage which brings the cut of the bodice in & traight line about-the shoul- ders, without a suppoft, of any sort, is called the “American neck,” This is just now much admired in Paris, as well as numerous other little wrinkles supposed to | have been originated by American beauty. | For those who must have the support, | there are chains and straps of various sorts which suspend the bodice from the shoul- ers and do away with the da slipping oft entirely. These preserve the straight peck line, which has been found 80 enhancing to beautiful shoulders, and, if THE FASHIONABLE NECK-CUT FOR BIG AND LITTLE GIRLS. ‘ l | the coral, the azalia.

With such the frock ma~ terlal is likewlse modest as to price, but since the making Is the most important item of the costume in the end it may be anything but cheap. A batch of dainty tollettes give excellent ideas for the home dressmaker for charm- ing designs for summer. rming Evening Frock. Maize-colored organdy and white French lace eompose a charming evening frogk de- signed for a pretty blonde: girl. The trained ukirt i made with s deep Spanish flounce put on with ten rows of fine shirring. The lace bars it in two rows at the front—one of which points in & deep V—and three at the back. At the top of the skirt, which is here gathered full at the sides and back, 18 a/novel hip-yoke of lace, a plece on the lower paft of the bodlce suggesting with this & corset look. The baby walst 1 also gathered fiill and cut out at the neck to produce an almost straight closely massed shirring, which sleeves. White taffeta silk, cut blas and folded: In shape, forms the belt. Another delicious little dvening frock is of shimmer-green silk muslin and brown- ish-yellow lace. Wide shirrings achieve the hip. yoke of the skirt, a single row appear- ing halt way down. Below this runs a threading' of black velvet, slipped through button-holed openings in the skirt, which a lace flounce, put on with. a gathered heading, finishes. The gatheied bodice is also trimmed with the shirrings and velvet, and is less cut out than the other. The trimmings form a straight bertha band, which becoming line is repeated at the tops of the puffed sleeves. Lace cufts draw these in also just below the elbow. The prettiest feature of this costume is a wisp of black-tulle used ouly on the w It 18 folded in & light roll, which surrounds the peck below & narrow lace gamp, an- | other roll appearing between the shirrings of the sleeves. The effect 1is highly artistic ‘and “Frenchy” in the extreme, for with all t§ros, entredsux and entire figunces these, th nimh Mue. 1t is bordered with the lkewise | shapes a band cuff for the puffed elbow | chains are employed, they afford additional | opportunity for. the gems, now worn in such protuston. / A stunning lttle dinner bodice is held on the shoulders by chains of coral and gold beads.

A dress of plain and embroidered yellow batiste displays the neck cut approved for young echool girls. . This decolletage is ex- tremely shallow, showing more ‘of the shoylders than the meck. A band of fine | shirring, extending at the shoulders to the sleeve tops, outlines it. Below this, back and front of the blouse bodice, are bertha strips of embroidery, between whose points are more shirring. The figured. batiste forms the bodice and top part of the skirt. The flounce and sleeves are of the plain. The newest of the gamp frocks for smaller girls, the really little tots, are like- wise cut round at the meck. Exquisite needlework bedeck the 'wash materials, which are preferred for all cnildren under six. Malde of this age will go short- | sleeved during the hotter days of summer, | and dresses for baby boys will have the usual bishop sleeves finishing with only a | lace dr embroidery cuff band. Indeed, never | were wash garments for small childre | slmpler, but sheer whita materials and [ touch of needlework give them the most ‘elezant atr. Very neat wash frocks for girls and boys of all ages are made 6f colored chambrays | with white piqued bands. These, in aston- ishingly big sizes, sell as cheap as $1.10, and 60 good and varied are the styles that the curse of the ready-made vanishes. Tucked lawn gamps for them, with collars | and cuft bands of good embroidery, sell for | 49 cents; and since the charm of all wash garments depends upon their neatness, at | such prices the supply of schoal clothes | need not be stinted, The wash tub will also make acquaint- | ance with such of woman's summer ward- robe. Once upon a time light textiles were almost & crime in the atreets of New York, | but teday it is otherwige. The woman who | really sins against the world is she who wears dark, depressing garments in the dog days; and the public benefactress is she who lightens them with ralment suggestive of cooling beverages and shaded dells. The colorings of the new wash materials, | seen amid the snow and winds, are almost too cooling. A green and white gingham— white satin clover leaves on a green back- | ground—tells of the meadow and the pur- ling brook. This was seen in the uncut \ | more of the new wash colors. apple green ribbon, and & green gingham parasol going with it. With the Window Dreasers. Keep your eye on the window dressers, for they know a deal about dresses. They | always put the right things together—and it you follow their combinations yot will never go wrong Lilac blue, lilac gray, reseda, shimmer- groen—a changeable shade which is almost white at moments—and jonquil yellow are All of these are seen in the muslins, chambrays -and ginghams, whose ralsed eatin stripes and figures make the homely title seem cer- tainly a misnomer. Ribbons in the same shade will be combined with them, along with the sheer lawn embrolderies and even lace; for some ot these ginghams are of surpaseing fineness, falling in many cases with the delicate softness of veiling. They will be the aristocrats of summer attire, as they are dear and many smart dressmakers declare their intention of ‘ putting them over silk. To permit the necessary clean- ing, the linings will be detachable, ot course, as well as the ribbon trimmings. But don't forget one thing—a good laundry for these, though you may expect to pay $3 for the bath. However, it will pay in the end. Trousseaux, for spring brides embrace many charming frocks whose materials come under, the wash head. .Ponge aud India silks are included, with the practical shirtwaist model predominating over more elaborate styles, for shirtwaist dresses will continue to be worn. The bridesmaids’ costumes for a smart May wedding will be of white linen and Russfan lace made In shirtwaist style. With these charming gowns bouguets of natural apple blossoms, tied with pink >fb- bons, will be carried MARY DEA CARPETS SHOULD BE ABOLISHED, Their Use in Houses Injurious to Health of Occupant; Medical men generally mgree that the carpet s an abomination in any housé and must give way to bare floors it the health of the community 1s to be preserved. The dirt that carpets gather, says onme of the physicians, comes from the street and is, consequently, as full of Jmp: rities and bac- terla as it well can be. -The latter cling to the soft pile until they are dislodged by the broom, when they fill the air and pres- ently get into the lungs of whoever is mear and begin their nefarious work of ruining the constitution. It is certainly not a nice thought and the worst of it is that it sounds plausible, as do all the things that the unpleasant seeker after microbes has to say on that subject. The physician points out that the only way that awful results are to be avoided is to give up not only the carpet itself, but also all large and heavy rugs. Bare floors must be the rule, according to this author- Ity, unless one consents to use light mats that may be taken out of dogrs to be shaken. Even then what happens to the shaker is a matter for sad conjecture. There Is one alternative after all. If men folks can be induced to remove their shoes in Orlental fashion before entering the house all may yet be well. Of course, the women will have to_follow sult, and when those haleyon days crrive we will be privi- leged to see tiny, high-heeledl shoes and big No. §'s reposing side, by side outside our portals and a moment’s .=vection wlill in- form us whether or not to enter of whether ft-'willbe’ the part of prudence to go in the back Way so that the visitors won't see us and thus escape the horrors of a lengthy conversation with our pet aversion, Mrs. Jones. i There are people who, even in this en- lightened age, do not believe in the merry bacillus, and they are the ones who, at the sk of life and limb, will cling to the deadly carpet, no matter what the result. They point to the fact that their ances- tors used carpets and lived to be 90 years old or more. They say that of Great-grand- mother Smith's eleven children all but‘one lived to be over 8, and that one was killed by & bull. But those who argue thus are foolish- people and vain. The rcason the busy bacillus aid not finish in very short order those ignorant ones in olden times was because he had not been discovered then, and there is no glory in killing per- sons 1f no one knows who did it. Now that the modern individual stands in shuddering fear of moving lest he run into a microbe there 18 fun to the latter in rynning him down.

A New York florist who makes a specialty of ‘decorating bridal gowns with hatural flowers recently trimmed a dress of white peau de sole combined with point applique lace and chiffon draperies. with white bouvardia, both single and double, deli- cately intermingled with orange blossoms. The entire train was sprayed with niphetos buds and their fine, tender follage. An- other gown was trimmed with white lilies and fringed with Bon Silene buds and leaves, and the bride carried a bouquet of lilies, maidenhalr fern and Mermet roses. For and About Women. The Zaro women of Indla are supreme, They woo the men, control the affairs of the home and the nation, transmit property, and leave the men nothing to do.

One young widow keeps herselt and her little boy in aiite comfortable cir- cumstances through her book cover work for publishers and book lovers who have cholce volumes bound to order. Some of her designs sell for $15 and $18 aplece. Miss Elizabeth Jordan, the novelist, has a Norwegjan mald who 18 epormously proud of belonging o the same nation as Hentik Ibsen. Wheni' she discovered that her new mistress also wrote books she bestowed on Miss Jordan most deferential and assiduous attention. Meanwhile the maid had been suffering from a varlety of minor allments. Miss Jordan mildly suggested that the giri take better care of herself, but the devoted maid sald fervently: “‘Oh, ma'am, it don't fltlfr about me. The world don't need me, ut you and Ibsen has got to be took care of right."” Mrs. Gouverneur Kortright has roused the envy of all otherg in the New York ‘450" by {mporting a carriage which s of absolutely new design and general construction.
