Lumen Christi the light of Christ rotips
the altar candles.
"Doo grntiiis , " the priest * Intone nnd
somehow-though the response miy ; como
from quarters where thanks to God are
given not In words ; whcro light of holy
candles is never seen : where priestly tones
are never heard "Doo ( Jratlas" the great
voice of the city suoms to say on Mister
morning.
1'orhaps the thanks are for a now spring
bonnet and gown ; perhaps for a rldo out
toward the park helium a speedy horse ;
perhaps for n breath of spring air coming In
ntn tcnament window ; perhaps for a 10
rent hunch of violets bought from one of the
little ( lower girls seen on the streets and
about the hotels of evenings ; perhaps fora
certain only half conscious sense of delight
in seeing the grass on the lawns begin to
grow green between the dead spears that
made last year's verduo.
Raster is gladsome of itself. Though
storms como with it and oven snow
in the confused march of our
changing .seasons , It is sot as a sign that not
for long shall laggard winter holu over Into
the tenancy of April. If Raster weather
comes not today , It will within tbo week.
Following on a Sunday it brings no largess
of a holiday to the working world. Not a
gift festival there is nothing of mercenary
expectancy in its salutation. Easter is the
budding of th-j trees. Raster is the swelling
of the sap. Raster is the turning of the
young man's fnm-y. Raster is the awaken
ing of nil life , mortal as well as Immortal.
Kustcr Is the resurgin" of the year.
In the thoughts ot .m Omaha woman who
today looks back over n range of manv ,
many years , them lives the memory of a lit
tle maid whooneo owned a pair of kid gloves
to bo worn Ilrst on Knstor day. They wore
the Ilrst pair of kid gloves she had over pos-
hossod. It isn't much of an achievement in
these days for a little girl to own a pair of
lld gloves. It was dlll'ercnt then. So It Is
that partly because these gloves were her
llrsc and partly becu'iso of their color that
that particular Raster predominates over all
other Rasters. The gloves were green ; but
K ich a green had never been scon or heard of
before , nor has It since In tbo experience of
the woman who cticrishes the memory. No
irrass over urow so green as these gloves.
They were of the most beautiful brllllant.aud-
iblo , fragrant and utterly resplendant shade
of green which art or nature over conceived.
The stitching on the back of them was green ,
nnd the cord and tassel that adorned their
- wore green , and their fragrance was
rreen. How many times , for days , did that
little maid gaze upon these Raster gloves !
Hho slept with them under herpillowand she
nald her prayers to them. Now and then she
HUrroptltlously tried them on her guilty little
li-inds and crept away by horsol f to enjoy
them nnd their fragrance in secret.
And that particular Raster morning is in
some way identilled by these kid gloves.
The balminess of the air , tbo budding trees ,
the cloudless sky , the ohimo of the bolls , the
chanting of tbo choir , all seemed to blend
nnd harmonize with the fragrance and color
of these little kid gloves. And today the
r.llht of them , with their little stained palms
iihil tholr linger ends gnawed for very love
of them , brings hack a tumult of memories
that clamor for recognition and clothb the
day with the holiness of the past.
Raster Is the birthday of the day of rest ,
the christening day of gcntlo springtime.

Wednesday afternoon's leoturo at Ijlnln-
fror's Art gallery was by Mrs. Ella W.
1'oattio , who chose for her subject "In Memoriam -
oriam , " quite 2'JO women being present.
To these who baa not suffered a personal
loss the paper was n translation of "Tho
human cry ( lung out Into tno silence of the
unknown , " that could have been given by no
one save a poet ,
In the midst of grlof ono is silent or voices
his linguist ! In Incoherent cries. The divine
Intuitive seuso of the pout alone can make
these cries Intelligible. Even Tennyson in
Ills suffering Is incoherent.
I ' ' 'In Memorial ' is
! ! full ot passionate ,
Bubtlo moods , at which the words of the
pool hint , but which they cannot explain.
.Only the suffering can co iiprohend. It lias
im great ideas to offer. In it is no formu
lated theory , no specific thought. It is a
tiuro and impassioned question. Somotimcj
it breathes of hope , sometimes it trembles
'vlth doubt. All the sadness of lifo
< ls in It. The lights and shadows of the
, oul chnso through It as these of an
.August sky race through grocn meadows.
It has no more sequence than have the dark
_ yuvevlcs that torture a bereaved heart. It
ifto raor loilo ; than have the tears th\t ;
? y. ? graaa ; . U is palpitating .with
lununity. The svrrTuTTaKCflSness of line
writing iloes not appear. It is the diary of
mispoakablo bereavement and the heart ot
the pool quivers within llko the llamo of an
upal when it Is held to tbo light. "
The preface to Mrs. Peattlo's paper was
so charming In Its simplicity , her tribute to
Iter friend so gracious and swcot that It Is
hero given In full :
"I'm afraid Hits Is a very casual and caress -
1 -ss paper I have to olfor you today. Ton-
iiyson's 'In Momorlam , ' which Is the subject
of It. deserves a moro scholarly handling ,
but it could not , 1 am suru , have had a more
nffcotlonatoono , for the poem has always
.lieen to mo , since I was n child , a source of
courage. It lias taught mo how to appre
ciate lifo a little bolter and to fear death a
little less. And since it is the lament over a
friend , and the um-onqucrablo hope of a
friend's immortality I have a fancy toduy
to dedlcato these remarks to a
friend of mine .to Miriam Ford ,
who has meant as much to mo , as oven a
loot's friend could mean to him. "
What poet could give a greater friendship
than this : "I think It is a moro Irropar.iblo
loss to lese a friend than to lese n lover. For
n.xturo's triumphant instinct guides ono in
the matter of love , and if ono has not exactly
the sort of opportunity ho would pro fur , in
1 the selection of a lover , he taucs what Is at
_ hand and is apt to make out very well as
i nine-tenths of the married couples of tills
civilisation boar witness Hut hulinct docs
not guldo in the selection of a friend. That
is the deliberate cholco of the soul. The
judgment Is not blinded. Animalism has
nothing to do with It. No question of econ
omy or duty or convcnlcneo Is Involved. A
Iricnd In the highest nenso of the wont Is
ono who helps your soul to grow ono who
discovers to you depths of beauty and fool
ing that you would not have discovered alone.
It is possible , of course , for two persons to
hecomo very good companions without repre
senting anything of inspiration to each other.
Each ono becomes the habit of the other , so
to speak , liut that Is qulto a different thing
Irom friendship. Friendship breathes a
] > crfumo. It sweetens lifo. It ta } < os
from the heart that sense of
awful loneliness which tugs and dr.igs at U
vraeuovor quiet comes and work Is done and
ono has tlmo to think. To have a friend is
to have four eyes instead of two to tiavo a
ttoublo souse , seeing things as through a
microscope enlarged to unsuspected beauty. "
Mrs. Fcattlo's paper was n poem sparkling
with the most oxquislto gums of thought.
Mrs. Metcalf added to the charm of the
hour by singing two delightful nnd appro
priate selections , on" preceding , the other
lollowmg the lecture. Noldlmger's "Sere
nade" and "Heauty's Ryes , " the latter Ten
nyson's words.

The spring hat lias experienced a great
uliango. List year It drooped visibly , casi
ng modest shadows over the fair faces of
, hc women It adorned , and concealing pecul-
arltlesof feature where concealment scemod
advlaahlo.
This year , however , It has grown bold and
careless. It isn't overparticular In regard to
the anglo at which It cocks Itself on the head ,
and displays all sorts of vagaries of brim and

decoration with utmost sangfroid. The only
particular in which it shows nny regard for
the prejudices of quiet people is the crown.
That is lower and moro unassuming than it
lias been for several j ears.
All hats turn away from the face. That
may as well bo stated In the beginning so
that the woman who is wedded to "floppy"
effects may give them up before she begins
lier spring shopping tour. Handeaus of vel
vet and satin ribbon arc used to a certain
extent , and ( lowers peep forth coquottlshly
from under the wide , flaring brims of the
"First Empire" styles. The color combina
tions arc rather startling , or. to use a millin
er's euphuism , "exceedingly Kronen. " Violet
let in its various shades predominates and is
combined with striking if not always happy
effect with scarlet.green nnd jolknv in fact ,
almost anything that suggests itself to the
trimmer.
The poke shape , for which all writers on
things fashionable predicted an early de
mise last fall , asserts itself this spring as
fresh as the proverbial daisy and as iinput-
downnblo as that ubiquitous summer llowor.
It masquerades under several pre
tentious titles , scorning the hum-
bio ono which is its by right.
MAIIQUISI : .
"Victorian , " "First Empire" nnd "Mar
quise'1 are some of them. Of course , the
shapes do not follow exactly the outline of
the bonnets that Salvation army lassies
wear , but they are modified to suit the pur
poses they are to serve , these for afternoon
wear being much larger and moro pro
nounced than these which are designed
merely for the street , which nro not much
moro than rolling orimmed sailors caught up
in front.
There is ono change in fashion that all
women will deplore. The toque , which lias
so long hold its own for shopping and busi
ness wear , will not. it is said , olfer a millin
ery refuge to the impecunious this spring.
In its place is the round hat , already widely
known under the name "Columbus , " and anew
now arrangement called the "toque. Iwnnot"
will invlto purchase. A well established
milliner , says the Chicago Tribune , shows
several extremely pretty models of the latter.

The brim , which is broad and round , is
caught up on the loft side with prmce of
Wales tips in black. A bamtrau of hlai-k
satin ribbon rests on the hair , tying in a flat
bow In Uu < back. In front , a little towanl
one side , is a slnglo red rose.
"Tho Marquiso" is the name given to n
hat that in a way suggests the days of the
Restoration. Like the others , this is a black
straw , woven in a largo open mesh. The
brim rolls up in front and Is held in place by
a huge bow of scarlet velvet , fastened with
a curved jot buckle. A cluster of black
aigrettes spring up from the middle. On
either side of the round low crown is a small
bunch of violets , delicately made In pale
shades of violet velvet. A rosette of scarlet
velvet In the hack finishes what Is , on the
right woman , a remarkably effective bit of
headgear.
One of the prettiest of the new hats Is
called the "Continental , " and lives up to its
name to an appreciable degree. It can , of
course , bo carried out in many materials.
The colorings of the model are attracUvo in
their quiet simplicity. The frame is a rough
yellowish straw , trimmed about the crown
with reseda ribbon. At the back is a ribbon
rosette and a bunch of violets. In front ,
toward the left sido. the brim , which is faced
with bro\\n velvet , Is turned up and caught
with a ribbon rosette and a cluster ot brown
tips. A few moro violets are scattered over
thocrown.no loosely but tied in bunches.
It is ono of th few hats of the season that
can bo worn with the hair down low. Most
of the new shapes demand a towering style
of coiffure that will create a revolution in
existing modes ol hair dressing. The woman
who is wise and disposed to keep apace with
the world will do well to cultivate a lock of
hair to hanir "right down on her forehead. "
