"t will bo vary Rind , " Btild Mrs. Kodgcrs ,
"to toll you nil about the o latest styles , "
and pointing to n magnificent display , con
tinued : "Now York dealers have nothing
newer than you see tlloro. I think that for
qulot , bcauvy and attractiveness the Invcn-
"ttons this year surpasses anything over
brought out. Let mo sh ow you a ftw hs
nnd bonnets that In Gothnm are constdorod
very swell and Just the thing.
"There lor Instance , " taking down from
It * pedestal a wee bit of a bonnet , "is the
latest ngony. That 1 what wo call a Caroline
line llowboux , and It has made a decided
lilt with the Indies for street wear. "
7 ho bonnet Is of light ollvo shade , trimmed
with fancy mixed bralU , clusters of line
rosebuds around the brim , the whole sot oft
most effectively with a black velvet bow ana
largo stpol bucklo.
"Thnt Is n very woot bonnet , " observed
the ludy , "but If you would like to see souto-
thintf that tlio ladles simply rave over Just
tulto a squint ot that , " and she hold up the
cutest specimen of fominlno head-gear the
reporter ever saw. It la referred to as a
sensation In crush pink enhanced by a
wreath of rosebuds around the brim , crown
decorated with line cut -Jot , rosebuds and
French leaves.
A reception bonnet pink ollvo. trimmed In
lacu of gold and popples , would strike the
favorable bent of any woman's fancy.
"Thero Is a hat , " continued the fair
talker , "that black Milan 1 refer to , that is
the rngo oast. " It has a cliMtwo/ moss
rosebuds nestling under the front rim and
partmllv tita by a short lace veil falling
gently over the loroheud. "That is one of
the most stylish things in the market. " An
other bonnet called the Eugcnio Parlshi' ,
having n pleated net crown nnd edged with
lino-cut jet and set off by largo gold and
steel buckles , attracts attention.
The real , "away-up" thing , however , Is a
sort of scoop-shuped hat with laney-fiicod
droggs of wine-colored velvet nnd the crown
embedded In a cluster of natural grasses ,
twigs ana cherries.
A toque of cardinal crept1 , crown formed
entirely of silk and decorated with poppies
mid leaves , is ravlshtngly beautiful.
The black legborn hat is also much In
fashion this season and among the Don ton
considered quite swell.
Artificial roses buds , forgotrpio-nots ,
lilacs , otc. , arc largely worn as party and re
ception ornaments. The make of tlicso Im
itation adornments has come to bo marvel-
nusly perfect. Thus it will bo seen that the
ladles of Omaha nucd no longer send their
orders away to Now York for their hearts'
desires.

and In paying their respect to the young
gifted musician , had their sentiments well
voiced by Judge Hubbard. who in their behalf -
half read the following address :
TUB OLD 6OI.ni KIIS' OHKETIXO.
Miss Bullo Kobinson : Your kind and
thoughtful remembrance of the members of
Abe Lincoln post , Grand Army of the He-
public , and other old soldiers which onubled
thorn to enjoy an evening with "The Smug
gles of Senovton , " has quicKened in them a
fooling of admiration for the awaken
ing genius of Its author jtn these
days of liberty , the citlzun-soldlur ,
while ho has u heart strong enough for war.
Is possessed of a spirit that Is appreciative of
good work nnd Is generous In hln desires for
exaltation of merit in ull those pathways of
mon that loud upward to bettor experiences
and onward to u fuller onjoyuiout of the ele
vating pleasures of Ufa. Harmony and
beauty uro .tho entrancing allurements of the
noblest und best in being and those who are
able to roach the hearts of men through the
tnuloilios of sound and the beauties of
creative thought are an inspiration to the
world that lifts it up to it best estate. That
this Is your field of effort wo bollovo , and wo
trust the future for its more perfect recogni
tion. There uro many dinicultlca to bo
overcome before full acknowledgement will
bo mado. Tlio world is cold and critical in
Its dealings with ilia adorations of genius ,
and it iKisltlvely refuses to honor individuals
until they become the living exponents of un
expression of soul that cotnpoU homage for
truth's eakc. Thnt you will bo able to roach
this commanding place wo confidently bo-
liovo. Wo ate conscious of your genius ; wo
have faith In your courage ; wo have coutl.
dcnco in your devotion , und as you toll on ,
remember that there are none that have a
greater interest in your success or will have
morn pride in your achievements than the
old soldiers of Council Bluffs. May God be
with you. H. C. Iluuiuitt ) .

High teas nra the popular fonn of social
entertainment In Council Hluifn at present.
The imisculinu portion of the souUl circles
uro barred from the enjoyment of these

them hunlly less on that account. Several
of tlicsu tea parties have boon given durinx
thojiast wcok , The companies have not boon
largo , the Indies thus entertaining their
friends limiting the number of Invitations
und giving a aeries of such partlui , instead
of having a criish of friends ut any ono occa
sion. Among those who havu ulvon such
teas during the past week wore Mrs. Dr.

Kov. H. A , Itolulionbuoh , pastor of the
Scandinavian Baptist church , reached his
fiftieth birthday anniversary on Tuesday
evening. Ho wua happily retuludod of the
avunt by having u largo nuuibor of his par-
Uhoncr * and frluuds cull uuoa him unex
pectedly. Thov presented him with n sot of
the Encyclopedia Brittanlca. Another gift
was a gold hooded Cane. Mr. Reichonbaon
has not only < won the hearts of his people but
has proved a most auccossful pastor m other
respects. His ability has caused him to bo
much sought for m other places , and he hashed
hod several very flattering calls to other
fields of labor , but ho has declined them al
though at a personal sacrifice , and has stuck
by his Council Bluffs congregation until It
bus become one of the strongest In the west.
A Danish mission has been recently started
uudur its auspices in the southern part of the
city , and promises to become n prosperous
society. The large portion of this growth is
due to the pastor's zeal and ability.
