There seems to be a growing disposition

Of mushroom models in the cut, for ex-
ample represents the work OF some Of the
most famous miliiners OF Paris and every
one Of the hats had charm and cachet.
One huge model in creamy straw with
trimmings Of plumes and big bow in that
exquisite green which is almost a peacock
blue ives pre-eminently OF the new season,
both IN shape and color. Another chic hat
was all I'm black with a full crown swathed
in malines caught with pins having huge
heads Of cut jet, At the left side was set a
graceful cluster OF the odd new plumes
which droop Imply in weeping willow
fashion and have not the thickness Of the
ordinary uncurled plume.
There are weird feathers galore this
spring and once more one sees big. broad
brimmed hats whose crowns are quite
hidden under a swirlinE mass of fine
osprey-like feathers, which wave wildly in
the highest breeze. There are lovely mod
els, too. whose crowns are entirely COW
cred with ostrich feathers laid fatty and
forming the softest, fiufiest crown imagin-
able.
Sometimes supplementary plumes are
added to the trimmings, set under the brim
or dropping low over the sides of the brim,
but some of the prettiest models show no
ostrich feathers, save in the soft mass OF
the crown, ribbon or veilings being used
under the brim at the back. A beautiful
French hat Of this type had a Neapolitan
brim of palest lavender, an ostrich feather
crown whose feathers shaded from dark

OMAHA, May Ito the Editor OF The

ing to his hearers at the Auditorium that
he was authorized by congress TO tell you
that Il was not war of rebellion. The
struggle Of the states grew out OF the
differences Of agreeing on the meaning OF
the constitution"
The word rebellion" carries with it a
meaning the south has sought and still
seeks to shun. The Century dictionary de-
fines rebellion" as:
War waged against the government by
a party OF citizens for the purpose or
changing its composluonl communion ,,'i AM

Of Omaha should be near our hearts. l
would suggest that we adopt a children
library story hour in Omaha, as is being
done in other cities. An hour each Satur-
day afternoon can be set apart in a suit
able room in the library building when
and where our children can gather and
listen to story by some woman skilled
in narrative on the life of some author
or his books, on travel. health, flowers.
birds, laws and ordinances which children
should know and are supposed to obey
live topics or something in history inter
esting to children and instructive and ele-
waiting, and the like.
II would give the children the correct
idea Of authors and their works and Of
things discussed and would direct theiI
reading in proper channels. Special topics
Of interest to the children of Omaha could
be treated. Birthdays OF prominent au-
thors could thus be appropriately cele
brated. Children would be helped morally
and intellectually. and all can be done with
out expense to Omaha. What an inter
esting, instructive and pleasant hour would
be the story Of the life OF Hans Christian
Andersen. The plan will sooner or latei
be generally adopted in our cities and
