WOMEN FACE MILLINERY EMERGENCY Shapes Approach the Impossible Moshrooaa Llaes Most F.mpaa slsed Maala la Paris for Faded Flowers. The ha.s of the season ' sre Increasingly wonderful, and the only things more ama ing than the hats are the coiffures which many women achieve In a futile effort to meet gracefully the requirements of the hata The opinion of the critical majority will probably agree with that of the woman who complained that there were so few pretty hata At their beat the extreme hats models whlrh, while they might be trying, had really beauty of their own. The group of mushroom models In the cut, for ex ample, represents the work of some of the most famous milliners of Pnrls and every one of the hats had charm and cachet. One huge model In creamy straw with trimmings of plumes and a big bow in that exquisite green which is almost a peacock blue was pre-eminently of the new season, both In shape and color. Another chic hat was Rll In black with a full crown swathed In mallnes caught with pins having huge heads of cut Jet. At the left side was set a graceful cluster of the odd new plume which droop limply In weeping "willow fnshlon and have not the thickness of the ordinary uncurled plume. There are weird feather galore thi srlrlng and once more one ties big", broad brlmmedi hata whose crowns are quite hidden under a swirling mass of fine osprey-llke feathers, which wave wldly In the lightest breeze. There are lovely mod els, too, whose crowns are entirely cov ered with ostrich feathers laid llatfy and forming the softest, fluffiest crown Imagin able. Sometime supplementary plumes are added to the trimmings, set under the brim or drooping low over the sides of the brim, but some of the prettiest models show no ostrich feathers, save In the soft mass of the crown, ribbon or veilings being used under the brim at the back. A beautiful French hat of this type had a Neapolitan brim of palest lavender, an ostrich feather crown whose feather shaded from dsrk lavender next the stem to light at the tips and at the side and underneath the mush rom brim at the back big bows of pale bine messallne. Lavender and pale blue and lavender and pink are favored com binations and some of the lovely summer hats of mallnes, lace, Neapolitan or Leg horn are trimmed In delicately sprayed lilacs and creamy pink roses.

At their worst they are hideous and only. a master hand can save them from the latter fate. Numbers of the flower trimmed hata even among the imported models, are clumsy, quantities of flower, often In many varie ties and colorings, being massed upon the top of the mushroom shape with top heavy effect and little grace of Una More over, the craze for faded flower and grasses, which is a mania in Part, lead to some result which are really laughable. though those same faded flower cleverly handled are capable of delicious color scheme. A woman Just' back from Pari displayed the content of her hat trunk to a group of Interested friends the other day. "Well, what de you think of them?" she asked, proudly. "The ostrich plume are gurgeoua," com mented one friend politely. "Don't you like the flower trimmed ones?" The friend struggled 'twist franknes and courtesy, but the truth would out. "My, dear," she said firmly, "they look aa though you had turned your laat sum mer's hat hind side before and gathered together all your old flower and pinned them on any old way and then left the hats out In the rain and the sun for weeks." . The description waa vehment, but it an swer fairly well for some of the models which the milliners recommend aa ultra chic. Faded lavenders, violet, purples, blues, greens, pinks, browns, etc., are prom inent ameng the artificial flower, but beau tiful rosea and lilac and pahsies and other flowers in natural hue are shown aa well. The mushroom line are the most em phasised feature of the millinery season and the changes rung upon this one Idea are legion. There are women who cannot wear any one of the mushroom shapes, but the variations in brim width and alope, In crown size, In bandeau heigtit and In trim ming have so much to do with the becom Ineness of the mushroom models that a clever milliner can do wonders in- adjusting the fashionable ahape to a customer's pos sibilities. Importaaee of the Baadeaa. That matter of the bandeau la a very Important one, and apparently little under stood. Some women can wear the mush room hat set low upon the hair, but these women are few, and for the average wearer a remarkably high bandeau Is needed, at ' least In front and sides. This lifts the hat off the head sufficiently to prevent Its looking like an extinguisher. A little tilt one way or another, accom plished by Increasing the depth of the ban deau at a given point will often add sur prisingly to the good effect of the hat. All this belongs to the province ef the skilled milliner, but. alas, too few milliner understand the art of fitting- the hat to the woman, instead of the woman to the hat The mushroom bandeau is, as a - rule, covered with brown mallnes, a are al most all bandeaua though there Is less of th mallnes used for filling in head angles than was formerly used and velvet ribbon lope or bows of wide soft silk are usually set under the back brim whea something of th kind I needed. A good idea Intro duced by French milliners for the benefit of the woman with warm dark brown hair Is the use of one layer of black mallnes over several layers of blight brown mallnes, th resultant tone being much better than that of any plain browa ma line. . - , Some Petrels Models.

The aunt of a recent bride presented her with such a chest which she had made after an old English pattern and filled wl;h linen enough to last a lifetime. Old Eng lish oak was the material used and the lining- was red cedar. Each side of the chest was divided Into panels and each panel waa carved with the likeness of some member of the girl's fam fly, while the ends showed scenes of her home. Every piece of the table a well as the bed linen was hand woven. The cost of the chest ran up into four figures, but for the girl of moderate tastes there are chests to be had for from (SO up. One young woman wno had an heir loom In the shape of an old fashioned ma hogany bed left to her and who lived in a flat where there was no room for it had it reconstructed into a chest for her trousseau. But a chest of red cedar will answer the purpose nicely and without carving It can be bought very reasonably. 01 Interest To tfoman.

Children' Story Hotr. OMAHA. May 14. To the Editor of The Bee: What is good for the people of other cities Is good for the people of Omaha, and what haa been successfully tried in other cities can be successfully tried here, and as the welfare of the boys and girls of Omaha should be near our hearts, I would ruggest that we adopt a children's library story hour In Omaha, as I being done in other cities. An hour each Satur day afternoon can be set apart In a suit able room In the library building when and where our children can gather and listen to a story by some woman skilled In narrative on the life of som author or hi books, on travel, health, flower, birds, laws and ordinances which children should know and are supposed to ' obey, live topics or something In history inter esting' to children and Instructive and ele vating, and the like. . It would give the children the correct Idea of author and their works and of things discussed and would direct their reading in proper channels. Special topics of Interest to the children of Omaha could be treated. Birthdays of prominent au thors could thus be appropriately cele brated. Children would be helped morally and intellectually, and all can be done with out expense to Omaha. What an inter esting. Instructive and pleasant hour would be the story of the life of Hans Christian Andersen. The plan will sooner or later be generally adopted In our cities and towns and Omaha should not be the last to adopt that which la good for its people. It could be made an adjunct to our Juvenile City and be under the direction of the Juvenile City and the library board. W. W. SLABAUGH. March la 1M7. FREMONT, Neb., May 14. To the Editor of Th Bee: From a friend I have re niinninra frnm The Rm. and a re quest for date and weather condition J of events that occurred before Mr. Lincoln In March and April, 1867. I think Caldwell i was Inaugurated: . i- .Hnn in ths river at the inrll SI. 1.S60 The national convention of time of our conference, but a little too far The next' day the route was prospected. The third day, by way of Elkhorn City, we took the military road to the little Papplo, thence to. Florence, where we rested one day, and so got to Fort Calhoun on the ISth, where we stopped with a family named Coffee. Mr. Taylor passed, riding a- pony. Mr. Coffee remarked that he hnd just crossed the river on the ice. Conditions led me to credit It. Still, boat might have been operating at Omaha. A I think of that March it brings to mind a little grave since twice chsnged and a circuit sixty miles long, with eight appointments. It must have been much like that of 1S57. following the hard winter, of which people used to talk. It began on December S, with a three days' storm, which wa often repeated, making a fall four feet deep where it had not drifted. People got lost in going to stables and wells and clotheslines were stretched for guide. A man at Tekamah wa lost In going about thirty rods and. found himself at a haystack a half-mile In the opposite direction. Getting his course by the shape of the stack and the fence around it, and creeping upon his hands and knees straight ahead, he got back to town. Stock perished In stables that could not be reached with safety. For three months mall was carried between Desoto and Te kamah on a handsled. I entered upon my work, embracing De soto and Decatur, May 1, traveling it on foot. There were old snowbanks near the trail above Desoto as late aa May 30, at which I laked my thirst. On Cummlng City townslte, where there had been hay stack. I counted eighteen cattle carcasses that had perished there. But what changes have come about in everything, as well as the weather, since those early days! J. ADRIANCE. adopted In South Carolina by a convention called by the legislature of the state.

Between this last date and the Inaugura tion . of Fresldent Lincoln possibly fifty moro forts and arsenals, ships; United 8 tates mints and other government property ere seized by separste state authorities. February 8 A "constltutlbn for the gov ernment of the confederate ' states" was adopted. 1 - ' February S Jefferson Dnvl wss elected president of the confedorate stales. February 20 Act passed by confederate congress to provide munitions of wsr. February Act passed by confederate congress to organise a general staff for the army.

March 6 Confederate congress passed an act for the establishment of an army, not to exceed lOMW men. March 1& Oonferi crate congress passed an act authorising the construction- or pur chase of ten gunboats. April 11 Evacuation of Fort Sumter de manded by General Beauregard. April 12 Bombardment of Fort Sumter commenced. 1 April 13 Fort Sumter surrendered. April 15 President Lincoln Issued a call for 75.000 militia. The foregoing summary of events be tween April 23, 160, and the surrender of Fort Sumter, April 13, 1861. while there was a democratc president and a cabinet largely disaffected. If not treasonable, to the general government, the calling of 100,000 troops by President Davis on March 8, two days after Mr. Lincoln's inaugura tion If all these do not constitute "rebel lion." there is no such thing a rebellion. N. K. VAN HU8EN. U. 8. Grant Post A Cato Vetersva' Protest. OMAHA. May 18-To the Editor of The Bee: You quote Senator Tillman aa ay lng to his hearer at th Auditorium that he wa "authorised by congress to tell you that It wa not a war of rebellion. The struggle of the state grew out of the difference of agreeing on the meaning of the constitution." The word "rebellion" carries with It a meaning the eouth ha ought and still seeks to shun. Th Century dictionary de fines ""rebellion" : War waged against the government by a party of cltlxens for the purpose of changing Its. composition, constitution and laws; resistance to a higher power; open disobedience or insubordination; determina tion not to submit. Permit me to present a brief summary along as to date. Memory may be de fective on historic data o far agone, ' ao I consult th conference minute and my diary, both of which give the opening of the conference aa March 27. and adjourn ment on Saturday, the 80th, Instead of being In April. My diary states that Bishop Ames preached at 3 p. m. on Saturday and ordained deacons and conference adjourned at & p. m. These eervlces were usually held on Sunday, but were changed to ac commodate the preachers going below the Platte, who wished to cross on the ice that evening to avoid a possible Indefinite delsy In getting home. Some of the preachT were snowbound and arrived late. On my return, between Waterloo and Fremont the td of Apr 1J, the mow was almost gh teen Inches deep most of the way and more came that night. On the Tth of April the Ice gorged In the Platte a It did this year, and the over flow waa similar, at that time cutting oft travel north of the town. Fort Calhoun waa to be our home the coming year, and with wife and little girl we are obliged to get there. If possible.
