Look You May Have Revolutionary
Ancestry.
OMAHA, Aug Ito the Editor of The
Bee The journey Of the Liberty Bell
across our continent has stirred up the
patriotic feelings of our citizens, more
especially those having revolutionary an
cestors, as nothing else In recent years
The interesting spectacle Of thousands
at Omaha Fastening to welcome the old
relic, and the many letters received by
our newspapers from citizens regarding
their ancestors who fought In the revo-
luton and helped make the republic,
have been very gratifying to the patri-
otto societies OF Nebraska
We feel this to be favorable oppor-
tunity to offer assistance to those de-
string data regarding their ancestors, and
the perfecting Of their family records.
The Omaha Public library has furnished
a separate room which contains many
valuable volumes Of genealogy. state REQ
ords. family records and lists of soldiers
and sailors who fought in the revolu-
tionary war, compiled by the adjutant
generals of the colonial states. In this
room may also be found indexes to Amer
lean pedigrees and genealogical indexes.
The patriotic societies find these records
very valuable in perfecting the genealo-
giles OF applicants for admission to their
several societies.
The secretary OF the Sons OF the Amer
lean Revolution will gladly furnish in
formation and assistance to those com
piling their genealogies, especially con-
corning the earlier military records, and
how to consult them.
The secretary will also furnish appii-
cation papers for admission to the Ne
braska society to all worthy citizens
having ancestors who fought in the revo-
lutionary war. or had duties along other
patriotic lines.

To the rugged mountain height;
Mystic wreaths OF morning splendor;
Glorious winding sheets of dew.
With the sunlight breaking through;
Where the grand and thrilling silence

As to cause a solemn feeling,
Full of reverence to creep
Ger the senses and enthrall them
In a sweet magnetic clasp,
That binds the heart and mind and soul
In its awe-inspiring grasp.
Come and be a child of nature.
Far away from cares and woes:
Where harmony and beauty blossom
In every tiny thing that grows;
And where scarce a human footprint
Fer has pressed the virgin sod;
In peace and restfulness conmuning,
Alone with nature and with God.

POINTS ABOUT EMPIRE FROCK
Age of Wearer and Lissomeness OF
Figure Are Two Things to
Be Considered.

There are two weighty things to
consider before accepting the fashion
for the empire effects in evening
frocks. One is the age of the wearer
and the other the lissomeness of the
figure.
Josephine, the woman who created
the style in order to show off her per
feet figure, was certainly no longer
young when she became the glass of
fashion for not only France, but the
world. She believed that the empire
lines hid whatever marks the years
had traced upon her physique, but
somehow the woman of today, and es-
peciaIly of America, does not grow
old in the same manner as Josephine
did.
For the young and slender all
things are possible. One does not
even have to suggest that truth in a
dress epoch when every new style
seems to be especially created for for
tunate youth. But the women who
have passed the thirty mark must be
clothed also, and it is the women OF
forty or over who seem to dominate
the world today, socially, and even
sentimentally, so clothing for her
must be taken into reckoning.

SILK STRIPES FOR WAISTS
Some of the Most Attractive Spring
BIouses Are Made Up of That
Material

Silks with stripes that fairly make
your mouth water are being made into
waists that admit of much originality
of line and trimming. These blouses
come in the regulation wash silks and
in the newer crepe de chimes, with the
stripes of satin and of very daring
combinations. Dull tan grounds are
enlivened with purple, green and black
stripping, and pink and black and green
is a favorite combination on a white
ground. One blouse in broad black
and-white stripe is made with the
stripes running vertically in the upper
mart of the kimono waist, while the
lower part has the stripes running
horizontally. A crepe de chine blouse
with up-and-down stripes of pink In
varying widths = shades of winter
