The National Society of Colonial Dames of America will celebrate an event at JameMown, Va., tomorrow that will be among the most interesting of tlie many ceremonies of historical significance to take place there this summer. The old colonial church on Jamestown island is being re built by the society and tomorrow will be Modifications of the Jnmper Cool and Consistent The Front and Wide Shoulder Line Monotony Prevalent. The comfortable, cool bodice to accom pany a dressy coat and skirt is one of the summer girl's problems. Many women solve this problem by wearing one of the lovely embroidered lingerie blouses, but, after all, no matter how beautiful the blouse, when one removes the fanciful little coat of the costume one Is dressed In a skirt and sepa- V-:: C MfKyffi shoulder and the V front are likely to appear above the girdle. km Parisian Creations. Two remarkably lovely Parisian gowns were sketched for the cut, and though one was very elaborate and the others comparatively simple both had that sim plicity of line which Is a Parisian fad, however, far removed from simplicity the detail of a frock may be. The white chiffon frock had a semi-empire effect, the skirt trimming running up to a high girdle top, and this trimming took the form of gradually widening panels of the finest possible vertical tucking framed In lines of heavy white embroidery on chiffon set between Inset lines of nar row real cluny. The embroidery bands, though, a trimming bought by the yard, gave all the effect of hand embroidery done for the Individual model. Tucks of the chiffon and folds of white satin finished the bottom of the skirt. The panels narrowed so much by the time they reached the waist line that the. close high girdle seemed almost entirely of embroidery and a line of the embroidery finished the girdle top. A draped V front bodice had a line of satin next the gulmpe and was laid In groups of exceedingly minute tucks on the shoulder. Thesjeeve wajuW one with the bodice. the ami hole reaching to the girdle top, and was finished In bands of embroidery and lace. There was of course the Inevi table lace and met underbody, forming undersleeves and gulmpse. A lovelier gown has not been seen this season, and In the same lower Broadway house where this model was shown was alRO the graceful black and white mousae 11 ne with its platted skirt front and back of mousseline In wide black and white stripes. The sides of the skirt were of all white mousseline. Handsome lace applique was applied above a hem of black mousseline. The draped bodice on the usual lines was of white mousseline bordered by wide black stripes and a crossed flchu of white mous seline was folded Inside this drapery. A knot of soft light blue satin was at the bust line and the girdle was of the striped mousseline, plaited lengthwise so that only the black stripes showed.

If so. Inquire at the Young Wom en's Christian aaxoclation rooms, Omaha, about the exposition travelurs' aid com mittee. It Is a nonseclarian organisation fur the assistance and protection ui )oung women visiting tl.o exposition. The of fice secretary can give you full particu lars. '1 he estimated cost of living at the exposition Is IS per day. 'i ha commute warns young women planning to go, that the opportunities for working ones way are very few at this exposition. Thai was all right at omaha liuHiUj, St. Louis or Portlnnd, where white service Is at a premium and young women find It no hardship to support themselves In vacation time by waiting on tatl or caring tvr children. But in the south conditions are different. Colored bor Is plentiful and Is employed almost sxclustvely. Bo It would seem wise for our girls not to plan to go unless thev have sufficient means to carry them through. Lao Geneva Conference. August If to 17 haa been announced for the summer Young Women's Christian association conference at Lake Geneva. The cost of board and registration fee Is 111.' Mis Florence Bltnms, national sec retary, will preside. Further Information may be. had at the ofnee of the local as sociation. The conference. In addition to its educational features, affords most dclshtful vacation for young women and at a coat within th reach of the ma jority. Extension Work. Under the direction of the new secre tary. Miss Bertha Scbweltser. the exten sion work of the association Is growing presented to tho Association for the Pres ervation of Virginia Antiquities. The old tower of the church has stood on' the Island in much the same condition for over 300 years, tho church having long since disappeared. The brick in the old struc ture was brought from England and John Smith was a worshiper In the church.. Pocahontas was baptized In this church and attended services there with her hus band, John Rolfe. The Colonial Dames recently bought two old colonial houses at Hampton, Va., and have had them torn down and are using the brick ' to rebuild the old church, the new structure being built on tho old foundation and around the old tower to preserve them. The) new church la simple and beautiful In design. Acting in conjunction with the Episcopal church, the association will, after the res toration, maintain the church as a meet ing place for all congregations that may from time to time desire to worship there. The dedicatory services will be brief, but Impressive, and will be attended by all the officers of the Colonial Dames. Activity of Soffrsga Clobs. Tho executive board of the Nebraska Woman's Suffrage association has decided to hold the annual state convention next fall at Kenesaw. An Invitation was also 'deceived from Beaver City, but the town was less accessible than Kenesaw. The Decatur Buffrage club has fulfilled all the requirements necessary to receive the 20 prize offered by the national as sociation. The Table Rock Suffrage club has recently lost Its president and vice president by removal from the town and Mrs. Allle Zluk has been elected the new president. The Geneva club, one of the strongest women's organizations of the state, has recently rained $12 by a minstrel show and has voted 10 for the purchase of a bronze vase for the city park. 8ome Im provement will also be made In the school grounds. A meeting has been called by the club relative to securing the Junior normal school this summer all this in ad dition to paying the salary of the teacher of domestic science in the public school. Extensive preparation is being made for the work before public assemblies this summer. Miss Belle Kearney, president cf tho Mississippi Suffrage association and a speaker of prominence, will speak before the Kpworth assembly at Lincoln. this ayrlng. Ths young women employed Woman's Invention. Every day thousands of women stand In street cars and hang on by atraps which have beea handled by everybody. A bright woman has Invented an "Individual ear strap," made of webbing and easily ad justable simply by attaching the hook to the regular cat etrap. The webbing Is more comfort!e to hold than the leather, comes down I srer. Is a great protection to one's gloves and can be kept perfectly clear a matter of no small sanitary value and a comfort to ell who oblect to germs. The device !s light and easily carried In pocket or bag. TrlmnilnsT for Hats. Hats are trlir.med on the tight this season and the milliners are endeavoring to adjust the coiffure of their customers to accord. For many years the hat has turned up on the left side and It takes practice to grow accustomed to the lift upon the right side and the trimming which ac companies the lifted side. rate blouse and that does not conform to the rules of elegant attire. The various modifications of the jumper, or skeleton bodice Idea, are the usual resort of the designer when confronted by this problem, and some of the models with such bodices or blouses are extremely pretty, but mere bretelles over lingerie blouses are no longer smart and a jumper of the modish kind Is often rather warm, despite its sheer gulmpe and sleeves. Many women prefer bodices of chiffon or of net dyed to match coat and skirt, and, of course, light ened by cream lace yoke or chemisette and sleeves. A little of the frock material or trimming on the blouse emphasizes the fact that this third piece Is essentially a part of the costume. Filet net or lace Is especially populur for such use. One imported frock wss of ecru, Valen ciennes, and Its trimming wan worthy of note. Narrow bands of khaki taffeta bor dered by very narrow plaitlngs of the same silk passed over the shoulder, two of these bands running over the shoulder and to the girdle In front and back. A similar band following the same line ran from the under arm seam up over the sleeve top, thus accentuating the shoulder line length. The girdle was of taffeta and at its top, in front, filling the space between the silk shoulder bands was set a large motif of khaki colored linen boldly embroidered In Copenhagen blue. On the skirt bottom were laid several narrow bands of khaki taffeta, across which. In lattice fashion, were set embroidered flower motifs of ths linen. The model was excellent for net, mar quisette, voile or any sheer stuff, and the embroidery on the linen was not so pre tentious nor so difficult that It need dis courage any good needlewoman. .But the thing which especially appealed to" one was the possibility of adapting the blouse for use with a coat and skirt of silk. The lines of the blouse are so good and the trim ming so simple that it might be carried out In dyed filet net and silk like that of the coat and skirt with little difficulty and much success. Filet In It good qualities Is pre-emi nently the modish heavy lace, and all sorts ; of uses are made of It. One shop Is show- j ing jumper arrangements or nanosome uiai lace which are merely unllned surplice blouses of lace, falling well out over the shoulder, but sleeveless. A fold of self color as tin bordering the surplice and ths big armholes is the only trimming. These are to be dyed any color to match coat and shirt frocks or to be worn In their natural cream color over a sheer gulmpe or underblouse. The price ranges from ITS to $100, according to the design of the filet, but the lace Is extremely hand some and will be available for other pur poses when the blouse Is no longer avail able. A filet bodice somewhat resembling tho one Just mentioned was a part of a French frock In mauve marquisette, the lace being dyed to match the matertal. Mauve satin bordered the surplice and sleeve caps and a large passementerie ornament with long pendant drops was set where the surplice fronts crossed at the girdle top. The full skirt of marquisette had for trimming a wide band of filet lace between groups of MAY FESTIVAL CONCERT DRAWS Orchestra Shows Improvement Blnoe Its Former Appearance. Boyd's theater last night held a large audience which listened with attention and Interest to the second of the series of con certs given by the May Muslo Festival as soclatlon. The program consisted of orchestral turn bers, a group of songs by Mrs. Read, and the ballad for soprano and baritone solos, chorus and orchestra, "Fair Ellen," by Max Bruch. PART I. Tannhaueer March Wagner Overture Helmkehr aus der Fremde (Return from Abroad) Mendelssohn (a) "O Had I Jubal's Lyre" (Joshua i..

Strauss PART in. "Fair Ellen (A ballad for soprano and baritone solos, chorus and orchestra) Max Bruch Mrs. Read and Mr. Cunningham, solo ists; Mr. Pennlman, director. Mr. Cuscaden has done some very ef fective work with the orchestra since Its last appearance. He haa evolved an ama teur organization of surprising merit. The best numbers given last night were the Wagner Tannhaueer March and the Sla vonic Dance of Dvorak. In these numbers the men played with precision, good rhythm and much finish. The Massenet "Angelus" overtaxed their powers of tech nique and Interpretation. The orchestral accompaniment to the "Fair Ellen" was ragged. It was difficult for both chorus and soloists to adapt themselves to It. . Mrs. Read has a very sweet soprano voice, which has been carefully schooled. Her group of songs was given with moderate finish and a pure quality of tone. She Is not temperamental. Her Intonation In "Fair Klleu" was not always true. It may have been the uncertainty of the accompaniment, also the part lies very high. Mr. Cunningham was suffering from a severe cold. For a time he thought he would not be able to sing, but at the last moment begged the indulgence of the audi ence. Mr. Cunningham's voice is a rich, resonant baritone. He la dramatic and carried the baritone role In "Fair Ellen" with surety and charm. Mrs. Read's work in the ballad was not as good as her group of songs had led us to expect. The choral and orchestral work In "The Fair Ellen" gave an Impression of un certainty and lack of thoroughness. The tenors failed to come In entirely at the beginning. The attacks were ragged all through. The final chorus was given with spirit. The work Is exceedingly beautiful. It Is too bad Mr. Pennlmnn did not put more conscientious work urn it and bring out all Its loveliness. Mme. Borglum played li r usual artistic and satisfactory accompaniments. MARY LEARNED. Rasing of the old brick residence for merly used as a Keeley Institute on the Rogers tract at Nineteenth and Leaven worth streets was begun Thursday morn ing by the contractors to whom the build ing was sold, and the contract for grading the high bluff on the site, which extends from Nineteenth to Twentieth streets on Leavenworth street, has been let to the firm of Tompkins & Fitzgerald. The grading contractors will begin work on removing the bluff next Tuesday morn ing and proposals for the new buildings to be erected on the-site will then be given consideration by the representatives of the estate of the lata Milton Rogers, which Is the owner of the property. Although the question has not been defi nitely determined. It is probable a row of two-story brick flats and stores will be erected on the Leavenworth street frontage of the site and several brick houses on the Nineteenth and Twentieth street lots. The site la well known to the pioneer residents of the cit7. The old brick house now being torn down was erected In 1R68 by John I. Redlck and haa been occupied by members of many of the prominent families of Omaha. It was later acquired for use as a Keley Institute and then rented as a large boarding house. Six-story Inrnhator Factory. Tentative plana have been prepared by a local firm of architects for a new six-story Incubator factory for the George H. Lee company, whose present quarters at 1115 Harney street have become Inadequate to accommodate the business. The new fac tory probably will be constructed of rein forced concrete. 130xlS2 feet In dimensions, and will cost about $100,000. Several sites for the new factory are under consideration by Mr. Lee and a se lection probably will be made within a short time, as It Is desired to begin the actual work of construction during the fa vort: "taiioit.g weather of the coming summer. It is possible the construction ot the new factory will be delayed, however. If sturcare space for manufactured Incubators and brooders can be obtained, but It is the de sire of the management of the Incubator factory to have the new building completed as soon as possible. Nine- small Cottages. Nine small cottages comprising the entire block on Twenty-second street from Pacific to Pierce street have been bought from Russell & McKitrlck by A. P. TMsey A Bon at the reported price of $12,000 and will be placed on the real estate market for Immediate sale to home buyers with mod erate capital. The houses contain five rooms each and were bought In response to the unusual demand for homes of this size, which Tukey & Son were unable to meet from their clients. Five of the cottages face east on Twenty-seccnd street and two each are situated on the corners of Pacific and Pierce streets. Charles Qruenlg, a stock broker and owner of much real estate In Omaha, has bought the small frame store at 1316 Douglas street for $3,000. which adjoins his vacant lot of twenty-two feet frontage on Douglas street on the west, and will erect a two- story brick store building on the site. The store was bought from Stanley P. and ' Elizabeth Black and Is occupied at present by a barber shop and shining shop, The site adjoining the store on the east. which was bought some time ago by Mr, Oruenlg, Is being cleared by a large force of laborers for the new store building, and the store recently bought will be torn down, giving Mr. Gruenlg forty-four feet frontage on Douglas street for the new store building, with a depth to the alley of 132 feet for the combined lots. Some Minor Deals. Deeds have been recorded transferring the title of the old Tost homestead, near Twenty-fourth and Burt streets, from Cas per E. Tost of the Nebraska Telephone company to Nathan Horn. The considera tion was $4,600 and the sale was made through C. B. Denny and Robinson A Wolf. The property consists of a large lot and house, which was erected many years ago by the father of Mr. Tost. The large double frame house at the southeast corner of Twenty-sixth and Dodge streets has been sold by E. 8. Mar ston to Wallace A. HUdreth for $0,000. Mr. Hlldreth bought the property as an Invest ment for rental purposes.

Mr. Kuhn recently sold his home at Twenty-fifth avenue and Leavenworth street. Patrick C. Corrlgan has bought ths large vacant lot at the southeast corner of Twenty-third and Webster streets for $3,250 and will build a Urge, modern resi dence on the property this spring. The lot was owned by Alexander M. Ferris of Boston, who has extensive real estate hold ings of Omaha residence property. William P.

Palmer has returned from his visit to Washington, where he went to confer with the postmaster general relative to the Increase of salaries of cer tain of the postoffice employes In Omaha. "We have not yet compiled a list of those who will receive the benefit of the Increase, which becomes effective July 1," said Cap tain Palmer. "This will require some little time.

ACT EVIDENTLY DELIBERATELY PLANNED Ho Appnrent Reason for Deed Rxrept that Girl Was of Utah Strnnv Tempersmrnt and Was In Poor Health. Belle Wilson, a Deaii'lful girl of IS, com mitted sulrMe at 7 o'clock Inst nlsht In the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. K. Scarr, 151S North Twenty-sixth street. South Omaha, where she had lived as an adopted daugh ter for the last seven months. The fol!'ow lng is the pitiful little letter they found beside her dead body: I love you. mother. Goodbye. Qod for gives much. He knows my burdens. 1 know He will forgive me. "Ho thut cometh unto Me 1 will In nowise cant out." I love you, Mrs. Bearr; please forgive me I'm going homo. You have been very good to me. Dr. Wheeler, will you please preach my sermon? 1 die In the Presbyterian faith. Her death was due to a bullet wound exactly In the middle of her forehead. The shot was from a thlrty-two-calllwr re volver, which was found by her side. She was discovered by Mrs. Bcarr. who went to call her for dinner, where the other members of the family were seated. Mr. Bcarr at once called Pr. C. M. Bchlndel, hoping that life was not extinct, but It was of do avail. Mr. Brewer took charge of the body. He found her as she knelt Inside her bed In the beautiful room which Mrs. Bcarr hsd given her. One arm rested on the bed and her face Uy on the spread where It had fallen after the shot. Hhe had died apparently without a struggle. Ehe had taken oft her ordinary clothing and donned a lUvht garment of white re sembling gauie. This was taken to Indi cate that she had deliberately prepared every dcUil of tUe aCUlr. The bullet wound I scarcely marred the wonderful boautjr ec her features. The only explanation of the' matter ( that she was a high-strung girl of nervous temperament and that she had not been well of late. She had had several attacks of calalepnls, an aliment something like epileptic nts, and had been under the cars ' of Dr. C. M. Shlndel. She had one of the attacks yesterday morning and for that I reason had gone to her room before din. i ncr to rest. Mrs. Bcarr had promised to call her when dinner wa ready. The fam ily believe that thla affliction - and some possible despondency hud unbalanced her mind for the time. The hlatory of her life la a sad one. Her mother lives In Omaha and loved ber daughter passionately, but did not under stand her disposition. This led to discord and at lust she was complained of before the Juvenile court. It was charged that she was Incorrigible, but it Is never thought that the gal was Immoral. Bhe was willful and given to little deceits, per haps, and that was the greatest fault. It was mainly due to the efforts of Canon Boll, Dean Beecher and Mrs. K. B. Towle that she was reclaimed. Pirat she was taken to ths House of the Good Shepherd. Then an effort was made to And her a good home away from the former associations and Influences. Bhe was placed In half a doxen different homes but nowhere seemed to fit. Bhe was sent to Iowa, but Mrs. Towle went to bring her home. Only after she was received In the home of Mr. and Mrs. Scarr did she apparently find happi ness. Mr. Bcarr bought her a fine piano and she was taking vocal lessons and Is said to have had a fine voice. She had been sent to the Llnooln school during the last yuar. Mrs. Bcarr had loved her from the start and Is prostrated over the terrible ending to her patient efforts with the girl. Canon Bell said It was the finest hnnie that had ever been offered to any child under his cure, and he had great hopes In his charge. He often talked with her about her good fortune and lately she had paid him a visit to tell him how huppy she was and how hard she was trying to jlease i those who bad befriended her. .
