Were green not so fashionable this sea son that the “wearin’ of it" passes
almost unremarked In the spring eostnmes, Saturday would have seen M|s«
Kuth Beatty, Mrs. R. 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.

South American Travelers
Buy Unusual Souvenirs
Touring end shopping have come to l»e synonymous terms when sr
plied to Americans traveling in foreign lands. Women, n than men al
lured by the sight of unusual thinvi and the charge for a bargain, hut even
the sterner ::ex :ur cura'ur to clever venders rnd attractive in# r> handle With
generous purse and open mind the American pleasure seeker launches forth
and ho It In Honolulu where Jade and amlier shine, or Rome where vivid
rashes stray In shop windows, every land has something distinctive for
which thy American is ready to exchange his cash.
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.

marvelously colored birds, some white

and vermllllon. One was no longer
than a humming bird. All were of
gorgeous colorings, salmon and rose
Iimants and brilliant plumage. A large
