Mills Silhy, Mrs. T. J. Dwyer and Miss Juliette McCone flaunting it in ronimemoration of St. Patrick day and their own Irish fore bears. Mrs. Dwyer, however, could verj well have worn it for her own sake. She is Irish born and bred. As Miss Mary Flanagan, site had her schooling at Roscommon in the County of Connaught, and came to America soon after, leaving two «ister>- to grow up on the Kmeraid Isle. Further interest in her family's connection with the Shamrock is offered in her brother, Rev. P. A. Flanagan, also a resident of Ot iaha. who was born on March 17. Another who was born on Irish soil is Mrs. llarry Nicholson, whose father met and married her mother while he was consul in (hat countrj . Her mother, also a St. Patrick day baby, first saw the light of day on the island. When Mrs. Nicholsod. then Hilda Barrows, was 3 years old, her family brought her to America, and, though her age was too tender to harbor many menmrif of the land of her birth, she brought with her the priceless Irish heritagi, a > beautiful spornno voice. Mrs. Nicholson has won many to her with her singing snd is a member of the Amateur Musical club, and is also membership secretary of the Friend of Music. A frevjuent voyager to Ireland is Mrs. R. Mills Silhy. whose father. J. Arthur Mrt.uirc. was a native of the island. Mummers on the Irish lakes and visits to Dublin have Increased her natural love of the land of the green, whose daughter she is.. While In America Mrs. Milby keeps In contact with her native land through visits with her godfather, Mir Chari's Fitzpatrick, lieutenant governor of Quebec, who is of the purest Irieli ancestry. Mrs. Silhy’s trienris admire her not only for her charm, hut also because of her shfllty as a linguist. She, however, is very modest of her talents, and attributes her skill with the Spanish tongue to licr mother, who was herself a Mpaniard. Mis. Silhy also speaks French with ea*e. Miss Ruth Beatty’s very blue eyes and ready wit are her most tang! hie connection with Mt. Patrick’s day. However, out of the past strp lor grandparents, who were born in Ireland and who lived there for a linn before coming to the states. A descendant of “Madcap Jack McCune," heroic Irishman of French ami Indian war fame, is Miss Juliette MeCune, who .a*, t tiperviser of musir in tin publie schools, is interested in the Musir Memory rontest. In Omaha's social life there are many others with the best of Irish names. Prominent among them are the Allisons, Creightons, McMhancs, Daughertys, loads. McCaffreys, Swifts, Murphys, Haydens. Fnrays, Byrnes, tiallaglu-rs and Quinlans. Mrs 7c7 Mills J/~ (June ncAa k £ Mars'dan. jr*/fotU A/r&.

South America litis enjoyed unusual popularity from Omaha. touri-t this winter and no one has returned without a souvenir from the triangular continent below us on the map. Mrs. K. 8. Rood brought buck seme remarkable character dolls m ole lit ft Presbyterian English speaking mission school In Venezuela. They m about six inches long and come in costumes representing monks, sister of i harlty, policemen, soldiers, house maltls. cooks and woodsmen. Th< woodsman is particularly delightful. Ho carries a huge bundle of fagot on his head. Just as the natives do, and at his side glitters the etronge knife which both men and women In that country have always with them, probably for chopping off hunches of Iwnana* or sugar cane. Three bull fighters, a toreador, mat ador and banderillero are In Mrs. Rood's collection. The banderillero wears blue hose, red satin trousers, a. blue bolero with white blouse, red neck lb and black velvet cap His hair is dune up In true iportsman style with a ribbon across the bn< k anti Id coat is richly embroidered, lings of Brilliant Grasse*. Glass hags were purchased by most of the women from Omaha who tough ed the West Indies this winter. Porto ftirjo, Jamaica and Panama were the best markets for these. Cocoanut grass bags some of them arc. made with gracful loops which swing over the arm. Mis* Agnes Scott will carry her needlework In one of these baskets of natural sugar cane color, other* bought llrnotjuttn bags made by the Indians, and still others, purple, lem on, red and henna shaded straws. Syrup from the cane of Barbados is the unusual though sweet choice of purchase by T. F. Stroud. Mrs. Rood also liked the idea and brought back not only syrup but gunva jelly. Mrs. Stroud Is the possessor of several handsome drawn work dress es ns well as carved Ivory beads. Seed necklaces were pur* based by ninny "f the tourists. 'Jazzi ng colors find ing favor. The Spell of (In* Spanish Shawl. f>n summer evenings Mis Harry Steel will wear a silk shawl of pink and roHe tones on white. Tt cmne from Cuba and Is one of the largest of Spun dish shawls and will bo a hmidsome heirloom if it doesn't prove too use rill to last. Mrs. Steel has also suin' jade pieces from Central America. Mr*. J. J. Hanighen. too, fell vic tim to the charm of a Spanish shawl In Havana. It is of white silk eni broldered In flashes of color, and very heavily fringed. "I didn't know such color existed," sold Mr*. Hanighen of the marvelous embroideries. She <1 elates herself very sympathetic with Hergesheimcr, who, In his "Han Cri totial de In Hah a n a." tills (.f buying a shawl without knoyving why he w.i tlolng It. The shawls are worn for evening wrapa at the country clulis In Havana and at the Casino, l.nrge combs In the linlr further emphasize the Hpanlsh influence. Embroidered bedspreads of great beauty, nnd very reasonable in price, were also purchased by Mrs. Haul glien. Hue had grent difficulty In find lug spreads for twin led-c Heldom do two girls embroider with Ju*t the same stitch, so she had a real search to find two spread* of tile untie pat tern done by the same girl. Mrs. Hanighen has been to Europe, but says she has never felt so much abroad as she did in Cuba. A KIiip Macau- for $10.

Many passengers on the Me gentle did bring them, however, these marvelously colored birds, some white and blue, others tan, orange, green and vermllllon. One was no longer than a humming bird.

I is true many i f the birds did not sur live the passage, the went he i lieiug too cold for them.
