THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1916. .Personal Gossip : Society Notes : Woman’s Work By MELLIFICIA—Nov. 27, 1916. Turks in gorgeous costumes of nld roses, American Beauty, pale green, | light blue, yellow and purple, with | glittering sashes, draped head-dres sses | and all the jewelry that they could beg, buy or borrow were the sensa- tion of the pretty masque ball given by Miss Dorothy Bingham, daughter of Colonel and Mrs. G. T. Bingham, at the Metropolitan club house Sat- : urday evening. ) The evening opened with a grand march which afforded an opportunity Ty for everyone to sec all the costumes. And there was such an array of them! 81 For two weeks before the guests had # been planning them, There were i couples in costumes of the time before the war, Pierre and Pierrot came frol- icking with the follies. Clowns and follies one-stepped past trained nurses and doctors. Cowboys flirted with gypsies and sailors shunned Mexi- cans, Dutch boys and girls, Span- ~ish dancers, little girls with Teddy yybears, Indians, all were represented sthere. It was a gay occasion. After .0 hour all masques were off and the quiet of concealment gave way to the animated ‘chatter of discovery, The ettily decorated ball room furnished pe ;fimn( background for the novel ,mpnlmmc& f;:omlmm mrun Mr, and Mrs. A.

For instance, a doll's bureau makes a most convenient and practical haberdashery store. Every one of the little drawers can be filled with buttons, hooks and eyes, nee- dles, pins, tapes and what not. An ideal sewing cabinet. When a needle or button is wanted in a hurry one knows just where to look for it. The bureau is worth a dozen baskets and boxes, where everything gets mixed up together. \ A’toy grocery wagon makes a good holder for cottons and silks. They can be arranged in rows and are very handy for the girl who does her own sewing and blouse-making. A minia- ture trunk is splendid as a trinket box. The tray does for holding tie pins, cuff and collar pendants and brooches, and long bead chains and larger things go underneath. | A set of doll's baking tins can be utilized for making the* daintiest of tiny cakes for afternoon tea, and there are other toy cookery utensils which are found handy by the. clever cook. 2 A doll's washing board is ideal Tor washing silk gloves, lawn and lace collars, handkerchiefs and things of that sort. It can be placed in onc’s wash bowl, and the corrugations arc so small that they do not wear out even the finest and best, laces. When the washing is done the things can be put to dry on a line tied from ‘one chair to another and fastened with dolls’ clothespins. Then, when the things are dry an'd dampened they can be ironed with dolls’ irons. They are made of really good metal, and the trouble in hold- ing them on account of there size is more than balanced by the neat work they do.. You can get into all the corners of the embroidery. ,Dolls’ soap is useful for the woman who does much traveling or going about. Most people object to using the soap supplied in the lavatories of hotels and cafes, and a big cake of soap takes up too much room in onc’s handbag. Dolls’ soap is not more than three-quarters of an inch long, and it can be carried in a tiny cellu- loid box that is made to fit it. Lastly, a doll's hairbrush is excellent for get- ting the dust out of uflhandy places in the nbbon hows on one€’s hat ; shoes to B ;:vém l\plrty f)’ six at the mati- Facts You D@ d/n t Know g&ltowm:‘tm"of la‘e year's AbO’M YO’MT F 1 ven by Miss Chri iller, lice Verlet, prima donna so- o of the Paris Opera company, By DR.
