PARADE OF THE ToRCHLIGHTs.
a Lively March With Transparencies
and Music,

Mr.. Charles A. Gradot announced that
there were 800 colored voters outside in the
square who wished to join in the parade
President Cam said they would be well
come. The colored contingent had been
arriving for some time, headed by brass
bands Judging by the appearance of the
square from the window Mr.. Gradots es-
innate was a very modest one. 1t was also
stated that there were several hundred
white voters in the square, who had been
unable to get into the hall. The crowd,
which poured out of the hall. added to that
already in the square, made it looked as IL
an army had rallied there. There were
torch lights. transparencies, three bands
and hundreds of flags Of all sizes. Sergt.
Killourhy had thirteen mounted police
men stationed on the west side of the
square. Sergt. Killourhy took the head of
the line with five men, and the other Off
GERS were distributed along the line.
The Citizens Club took the head of the
line with its battle flag heading the col
umn. The colored leagues were forced in
order behind the club, 1t took some time
for the line to march out of the square
Before the end of it had gotten out of
Broughton street the head had turned
East Broad and was well on its way down
TO Liberty street. A gentleman, who timed
the line at Bull and Broughton streets
stated that It was thirty-nve minutes in
passing that point. The line was well sup
piled with transparencios, especially the
colored contingent The transparency at

inscription, This flag has never been de-

For the summer season. fashion Is again
going back to the Gainsborough days Of
large aureole hats to gauzy fchus and other
airy draperies crossed over the corsage, OF

We shall have for materials a host Of ex-

see accordion pleated frills or lace, and often

MISS SMITH,

~faconne satins, plain and jacquard silks,
a great variety of all-wool fabrics, and in
handsome silk-and-wool goods of both for
eign and domestic manufacture
Bolero jackets and short capes Of fur will
be worn all through the spring with woollen
coats to match, and also with many OF tho
beautiful silk and wool costumes and these
of doublc-faced cashmeI5 made up with ar
mure or corded silk.
Narrow fancy belts are quite as popular
as ever, and the latest novelty Is of white
leather. with clasps Of gold and turquoise.
The belt clasps are all more ornate than ever,
being studded with rhinestones, imitation
jewels and pearls, and fashioned in rocco
designs Of both nameled and plain gold.
The usefulness of the old fashioned Chan
tiIly shawl is revived again, and it is to bo
worn for gowns mounted over black satin.
This sort of lace dress, With a touch OF color
at the neck and belt, can be made very at
~tractiye, and the use of something which has
been slowed away for years Is always a salts
faction.
Pink is a decided favorite for evening
toilets, and shaded violets AFFORD a stront
contrast when used in conjunction with pink,
a violent blending, perhaps, 1t may bt

and the correct tint in purple the contrast
is neither harsh nor inharmonious and 10
certainly a very fashionable mixture.

Amethyst bordering on helitrope is this
newest shade in millinery.
Two toned violets are all the rage, dark
purple blending into light blue and green's
Modistes are making a new style of under
skirt to wear with spring costumes and toll
cts.
There is quits a fad for wearing violete-
especially violets made from pink silk or
pink velvet.
Percales will be used for shirt waists and
run in large figures, Dresden and Persian
effects, also wide stripes.
Shirt waists will be made Of Scotch zephyr
ginghams, also of the zephyrs in plain col
ore. and will be worn with white collars ana
cuffs.
Cloth in very light tints Of pearl gray.
ecru and blue is made up now in demi-
season gowns, with trimmings OF fur, lace
and various colored embroideries.
If a woman would have the latest elegance
in silk petticoats she must avoid the rustling
kind and wear dainty, SOFT brocaded SILK
skirts, rufled with silk crepe.
The tenacious little French ~pelerine comes
up with other spring temptations in all its
glory, and will emain in vogue throughout
this and the summer season.

ton OF soap and water.
Taffeta silk hats are the latest cry in
millinery. The silk is doubled and shirred
for the brim. The crown Is one high puff,
and the trimming consists OF back feathers,
black velvet, and a fancy ornament.
Skirts narrowly gored and then flounced
from belt to hem are noted among fashion
,ble dress models, also double skirts of equal
'ength, each skirt being finished with a deep
hem with three or four tucks above it.
The Galatea cloth is an imported heavy
fabric for children's sailor suits for both
boys and girls. Galatea cloth will also make
:erviceable skirts for women, to be worn
with shirts, waists or fancy blouse.
Cordings are a feature of the new dress
models, and small cords, two or three close
together, are set in around the bodice of a
foulard gown an inch and a half apart. The
material gathers ON these cords just enough
to give a soft, pretty effect.
Great use will again be made OF pretty
checked fabrics in two or three contrasting
colors and in varied weaves. The checks vary
in pattern from the pinhead or shepherds
weaves to those from half an inch to an inch
and a half wide. These checks appear in

THE OMAHA DAILY BEE. SUNDAY, FEBRUARY aa, 1897.

In these last all hangings are made and the
upholstering is done under their personal
supervision, a much more satisfactory plan
they find than depending on other firms for
this work.
These young artists we're the first to use
leather as mural hangings in Cleveland.
A beautiful library is the result OF their
experiment in this material. Hides are cut
In panels to At wall spaces and held In place
by brass nails. A deep leather frieze is
etched in gothic design picked out In gold
and color; furniture and window pillows are
covered with leather, and the heavy wool
curtains have medallions OF etched leather
appllqued on them and are draped by hands
OF the decorated leather. Miss Temple In
Washington and Misses Martin and lngalsbee
in San Francisco are following the same
profession.
Fire etching on leather is a novelty in In
terror decoration recently introduced by Miss
Peggy" Mills Of New York. While Miss
Mills is an expert wood carver, she also APP
plies fire etching to wood, her covered
chests and etched chairs and tables being
both attractive and original.
Miss Alice Neale is the progressive decora-
tor OF Chicago, Eight years Of study pre-
pared the way for her present success. AS
a designer Of silks and paper for the homes
she is well known. Her fine sense OF color
end exquisite taste make her especially sue
cessful in silk designs.
As an interior decorator she follows her
idea. that the furnishing Of the home should
be accessory to the individual, otherwise
the fine effect is lost, and only the artists
taste remains. The interior OF the Chicago
woman's club was designed and decorated
by Miss Neale, also the new County and
Golf club of Chicago. Although she Is well
represented in many of the best known
homes in Chicago, her reputation Is not con-
fined to the west. for she has studied In
New York and Boston, as well as In Lon
don. and it was the English press that first
recognized her ability as a designer.

for II was shipped from Trenton.s N. j., where
the thing and tha bathtuhs were all made.
II is generally believed that his particular
bathroom is the finest thing OF the kind In
the world. Mrs. Spreckels and her daughter
travelled all over Europe fof up 10 date sug-
g%estions for the Spreckels mansion.
This house Is to be erected on the corner
Of Van Ness avenue and Clay street, In San
Francisco. It's construction is In the hands
OF a San Francisco architect, who sent repre-
sentatives all the way TO Trenton to superin-
tend the making Of the tiles for these bath
rooms, and particularly for the daughters
room. She inspired the decorations, an artist
drew the plans on paper and the tile com
pany there did not rest. ""1t
1t Is said that the models and molde for
the tiles for this particular bathroom cost
nearly two thousand dollars. One man did
all the designing, and the work consumed
nearly a year. NJ
The room is exceedingly small, not much
bigger than a bathroom in a New York fiat.
1t is az feet by 81 feet in size. The floor ie
to be laid with mosaic tile in neutral tints,
the dado of the bathroom is a decorated panel
composed Of six-inch thing. 1t represents a
bathing scene in rich colors, the figure of the
women being in relief. 1t is ornamentsd with
scrolling OF the rocco style.
This scene was an idea of Miss ~Spreckels.
Two women are bathing, and one Is as
sisting a small child to swim. The third
woman sits on a rock on the opposite shore.
with her feet dangling in the water, enjoy
ing the scene.
The bathtub is decorated in the saline spirit
as the thing. The figures modelled upon IL
represent a gathering of very proper looking
nereids on a coral reef. The coloring 10 ex-
quisite and the figures OF the women are in
fine proportion. 1t is all embossed, even the
waves being in relief.
The frieze Is the best conception, and in
dicates that Miss Spreckels has a romantic
as we'll as a humorous mind. 1t takes nine
teen tiles eighteen inches long to go round
the room. These tiles are modelled in heavy
relief, with an upper and a lower bordering
