The brlgnt eyes , lifted from the book ,
Scorn , by their sweet and thoughtful look ,
To see , us In a magic glusa ,
The vision of tbo story pass ;
The hero and the hcroino
The faithful pair whoso fortunes shlno ,
In jpitu of davs lone ovorcan !

And heroines us sweet a-i she ,

The foot on which my Alabol fair
Pursues her happy way
Is but n very tiny foot ,
I'm very uro you'd say.
nut notwithstanding this , I vow
Not all the men In town
Could make it budge a single Inch
Wlii-n once she puts it down ,
Dancns grow fewer nnd fewer , teas lose In
number , dinners nnd luncheons , with hard
work , manage to hold their own ; driving
and hurjobark riding tuKu thu place of the
afternoon affaiis , nnd tennis looms up in tbo
near future.
The .summer Is nltnost here and the talk is
of the annual migration. Wherever you genome
nome fair one Is suru to nsk you : "Where to
this your ! " "Ocean or mountain this time ! "
"Shall wu swim together at Spirit Lake , or
nro you going to Nurruuunsott Pierl" "What
do you think of Allnnotonka as a summer rc-
iiortf" and so on ad Infinitum.
Steamship lists that have already aproired
show u great number of Omaha bookings , thu

larger than ovor.
The sun shines cloriously , and society
basks in its warm and oneounv.iiig rays ,
Thu display of spring Mowers before the
private houses Is moro elaborate than ever ,
ImrUn > .erof the approaching mlddlo ago of
the year.
Children are trundling tholr hoops in the
parks and on the streets ; stuff curtains uro
coming down. Furs nru being sent to cam
phor ana silver pots to safe e'oposits , and
soon thu lonely husbard * of thu leaders of
society11 will bo left nlono to enjoy
themselves nt Alanuwn , Cut-Off lake
or Huzcr's park while the fair
ones nro disporting themselves like
mermaids in "old ocean" or climbing the
mountains of thuzono with good looking men
for cuiile.s.
A Sharp wilted woman whoso name it were
best not to disclose In this connection lately
nstortod that she could measure n woman's
character moro accurately by inspecting her
dressing room than by any other known pro-
COSH. "In fact , " she declared , with consider
able animation , "when one of my squs im-
nouui'e.-i his engagement I leave no stone un-
turn&d to huvo the girl under my eye for
her morning and evening toilet She is
Judged nccordhiKly , and from what 1 see can
p.-otty well guess what sort of n wlfo she
will make. How so ) Hecnuso wo women
think n thousand times more of such
details than you men , and every thrifty
or sloven trait Is sure to crop out
then. Why I could make n black und white
list for my marrying men friends , after this
method that would prove a safe uuldo to fu
ture happiness In wedlock , h'or Instance ,
the girl's room Is almost nn Infallible Indica
tion of her tastes and necessities. I do not
mean silver mounted toilet articles , a lace-
draped dressing table , or full length mirrors ,
They uro well enough If shu can alTord them ,
but the llrst things to note are her books and
yplctiiros , her sewing basket , her toilet arti-
cvfs , It Is worth wlillu catching n glimpsoof
her closets mid drawers , as they speak vol
umes for or against their owner's tidiness.
When gloves are rolled in n hard Itnot , veils
jammed under salvo puts , ribbons tumbled In
with powder and hair pins , beware. That
kind of thing is eloquent of curl-papers at thu
breiiKfnst table , muddy coffee , and cold bis
cuit to come. "
It will perhaps be learned with some Inter
est by a great many American women , sajs
the Now York World , und particularly oy
the iiniDltlous women who comu out of tbo
bonanza regions of the west , that It will bi ;
much moro dlfllciilt hereafter to secure pre
sentation ut court than it has been In the
past. I know that a popular Impression still
exists among numberless nnd guileless Amor-
leans who stay at homo thnt. these drawing-
room presentations are secured through dis
tinguished ladies In London , whoso acquaint
ance is secured by means of letters of Intro
duction. In some cases this Is of course
true- , but In other cases the distinguished
ladles hnvo performed thcsu o I ) Ices not so
much for their friends nnd the friends of
their friends , nnd because of friendly tool
ing , as they have performed them for more
acquaintances whom they havu mot in n
purely business way. They have reached
these acquaintances , "I am told , through tbu
medium of newspaper advertisements , nnd
they have been Instrumental in obtaining for
their acquaintances the much-dcslrcd presen
tations In enthusiastic response to pecuniary
rewards of more or less considerable
dimensions. These profitable arrangements ,
lioweuor , are now brought , to nnond. Word
comes from thu other side thnt In several of
these cases the women so advertising have
b'con Idontllled by tracing of the advertise
ments , and by the order of the queen they
liavu bei'ii shut out of court themselves , so
they will never again bu nblu to stand sponsor
ser for anybody elsol After this , therefore.
If nn American woman has not sullleient
personal inlluonco to si-euro a drawing room
ircsontntlon she will not bo able to resort to
prompt and pleasant fashion ot paring
for It.

Hooks , vin know ,
Are n nnbstnntlnl world lioth pure nnd good ,
uoiind which , with tendrils strung nslli-sh and
blood ,
Our p.istlme and our happiness can prow.
Books nro by fur the most lasting product
of human toll nnd Ulcnt. Allghty nnd inn-
Mile cities have crumbled Into dust ; empires
and kingdoms have vanished llkotho mists of
morning and the places which know their
crowned heads know them no more , but the
hooks that were left by the poet , the histo
rian and the philosopher of every ago have
dolled the ravages of t'mo ' nnd hnvo become
the heritage of succeeding generations.
Not to bo acquainted with books Is to bo
Ignorant of the past , and ns the present Is
but the outgrowth of all that has gone before ,
to bo Ignorant of the past is to bo Ignorant of
nearly everything.
The Improved facilities for the production
nf hooks which have been Invented during
the past llfty years seem to have intensilled
the scriptural adage , whicn states that "of
tlin mnkini ! of books there Is no end. " It re
quires almost ns much literary abllitv to
select a good library from all this tremendous
muss of literature as it does to wrlto several
good books. There uro more people who have
the means to purchase , but not the ability to
bclect n good library , than there uro who
have the aliility to select and not thu means
to purchase the same.
There are people in Omaha , however , who
have both the means nnd the ability to pro
vide the bust'thnt Is extant In thu line of
valuable and entertain literature. It may
not bogenor.illy known , but It Is true , that
there nro several privuto libraries owned by
citizens of Omaha that are worth a fortune
in themselves , and some of them could not bo
purchased nt nnv price.
A representative of Tin : BIX had the pleas
ure the other day of looking through the mag
nificent collection of rare and valuable books
owned by Air. Byron Reed.
Air. R cd bus been a resident of Omaha forever
over thtrty-llvo years , and oven before ho
camu to this city ho had begun thu accumu
lation of his now wonderful collection of
books , manuscripts nnd coins. Air. Reed's
librnrv occupies a very largo room , which
stretches across tbo north end of the spa
cious dwclllnir on the first lloor. The walls
on every side of the room nro lined with
handsome book shelves completely filled with
literary treasures and hundreds of thu
larger volumes are stored away in n largo
vault.
This superb library Is not so remarkublo
for its collection of recent publications ns It
is for rare mid valuable works and complete
tiles of newspapers and magazines running
back to the early part of the present cen
tury and even back to the middle of the
eighteenth century. The library Is well
supplied with good , standard works nnd Is
complete In the department of reference
books , onoyelodoulus , etc. , but thu chief
value nnd superiority of the collection is
found in the many volumes that are ox-
trumoly rare and In many instances uro the
onlv books of the kind extant.
1'W many years Air. Reed has been deeply
interested in numismatics and has at present
ono of the most valuable collections of coins
In the United States. It Is perfectly In keeping
with the owner's taste , therefore , to Und in
tills library a complete Illo of the "Numis
matic Chronlclo" from the year ISiS
to the year IbUO , handsomely bound and
occupying a place on the shc'vas ' ,
There are but two other complete files of this
mngazlno in the United States , This is n
London publication and is the best authority
in the world upon the subject of coins.
On another shelf is a complete file , neatly
bound in small volumes of "Nile's Weakly
Register" from 1811 to 1SI7. It is a Balti
more nowspcpernt. ' contains much valuable
history.
Then there are the "Statutes nt Largo of
the Confederate States of America , " and
"Laws of the Confederate State of
Virginia , " Those hoolts aru both com
plete and there are but llvo such
in existence. Then theru are thu complete
Illo. ? of the New York Daily Times , the
Philadelphia Daily Inquirer , Harper's
Weekly and the Richmond Soutinol , each
covering the period ot the great rebellion ,
from IS'il ' to ISitt.
In Nebraska lltornturo thU Horary Is nv
mnrkably rich. It contains till the session
'aw.s thnt have ever been enacted both by the
orrltory and the state , and ulso the Journals
if both liouso and senate from the llrst ter
ritorial legislature held In 1N" > . " > down to the
session of 1SS1) ) . Then comes a collection of
Omaha directories , embracing a copy of eixch
) f the directories that huvo over been lusuod
n Omaha. This shelf full of books forms
omnrkahlo chapter of Nebraska history nnd
llustrates very strikingly the remarkable
? rowth of Omaha. The llrst small book pro-
lending to givu thu names of the citizens of
Omaha was published In ISIXi.
Air. Reed also has the Now York Tribune
almanao from 18M8 to the present time. This
Ittlo book is a gold mine of political Btu-
tlstlcs.
Harper's Alonthly Is here , complete from
the first issue to the last. It forms u pretty
oed sized library of itself.
Then there area number of rare old books
that were suppressed , but few copplos over
gutting to the public. There Is ono giving
the reign of Georgu III. and Queen Char
lotte n fearful scourglmr for alleged cor
ruption nnd wickedness. The book denounces
William Pitt us a traitor. Copies of this
book have brought its high ns S7'OJ. The
author , Hon. Spencer Perclval was assassi
nated In the house of commons In ISl'-J.
\ book called the "Callcndur History of
the United States" is another rare volume-
It elves n full account of the downfall , dls.
grace and shameful confession of Alexander
Hamilton , regarding his amorous connection
with Airs. Reynolds. This book was sup
pressed nfter about twenty volumes had been
distributed.
Another of these suppres cd hooks gives
John Aduins n fo'irfnl cusllgution.
Among the curios thorn is n paper bucked
ledger formerly owned by Guorgo Washing
ton. It is tilled with figures und writing
which uro plainly legible and the book Is well
preserved. The book was used by Air. Wash
ington ns his privuto record anil contains his
own handwriting nnd signature in several
places. Air. Heed purchased this valuable
curio at a Halo In Philadelphia last
year. It was among the effects
of the late .Major Lawrence Lewis , thu last
of the Washington family , nnd the purchnsn
price was $1-10. The book , now , would cost
about $1. . ' > 0.
Turning from books toorlglnul manuscripts
wo find In Air. Reed's library an original
message from Andrew Jackson to the United
States congress In IbHI In his own hand writ
ing. Theru nro other vnlunblo inanubcriptH
written on parchment und vellum.
The library contains over four thousand
flvo hundred volumes. The collection of
coins nlono would require ) n notice of two
columns before the ru'ider could gain a fair
Idea of their variety nnd rare merit. They
number over eight thousand and Unto buck
in the tlmo of Cleopatra und Philip
of Alacedon. Mr. Reed Is known
to nil thu leading numismatists and
librarians of the cast ns a man of grout
sagacity and learning along these linos. Ho
has an agent In New York and ono In Boston
who keep him constantly Informed with re
gard to sales of valuable libraries and collec
tions of coins. Such sales uru always made
by catalogue , Air. Reed receives catalogues
of all such sales and instructs his agents as
to what they shall buy for him.
