J I I- A THE BEE: OMAHA. SUNDAY, MARCH 27, 1921. Cold Wave Due In Omaha Sunday Is New Bulletin Unexpected Stonn From Colo rado to Cast Gloom Over Central West Easter Day. Flash!. 1 Cold wave! It's coming! Weather Man Robins got the word late yesterday. And lie put on his spiked boots, climbed to the mast head of the flag pole on the federal building and hoisted that little white flag with the black square in the center. That tells the world the cold wave's on the way. Here's the sad news: ' "Cold wave. Temperature will fall 40 degrees tonight and Sunday, retching 15 degrees above zero by Monday morning." "The coldest temperature will be probably Sunday night," said the weather man. Cold weather is predicted to pre vail the early part of next week. Galoshes will probably feature the Easter parade in Omaha, if there is one. Snow is predicted for today. And it's not a real nice snow. It's the kind of slushy snow that follows rain. So the short skirts of the Easter gown will come in handy' as little Miss Omaha trips, not so gaily, down the boulevard. And those pretty, loud-colored lit tle garden flower hats this is too much they'll be a wreck if they're trotted out. "Ain't it awful. Mabel?" quoth pne miss last night. "And to think, I've been plaimin' on this for so long." Thunder Is Heard. The sad news was ushered in early yesterday with an old-fashioned thunderstorm. Yea, thunder was heard throughout the night. , Before noon .75 of an inch of rain had spattered itself all over Omaha. Weather Man Kojbitrs had a heart, however, and sought to withheld the sad news from Omaha maids and matrons. Preliminary forecasts of fair weath er for Sunday were- oozed out. But an unexpected storm of marked intensity, with jts tail swing ing low, too low, in fact, over southeastern Colorado, and bound Straight for Omaha," caused a re vision of these forecasts. Showers and thunderstorms were Reported from New York state, the Great Lake region and the Missouri valley. Light rains and snow were re ported in the northwest. Mercury hit zero with a bump and went on below, that in Montana and North Dakota. Even In California. And maids and matrons, not only of Omaha, but all over the country, .were sad-eyed and sorrowful. All over the country? Yes, even in California .there were Storm warnings. But wait! - . , . i From far-off, Florida, from which winter vacation throngs are scurry ing homeward, came the cry, "Fair j leather Sunday." Yep, galoshes will be right in style with the Easter . gown . today in Omaha. And most of the parading will be done at the old home tireside. I TKree Men Held for !

M. One Hundred Living Models in Oriental, Historical and Occidental Settings. Thompsdn-Belden Co. Furnish Forty Modern Costumes. Even from the days of Marco Polo, the great Vene tian sailor and adventurer in- the fourteenth cen tury, the ptopl. of the western world hive been receiving the nrt and treasure of the East and, out of sheer admiration, they have been finding a place for it in their homescopying and adapting it to their needs In the seventeenth century commerce had become so extensive that art works of the east came in a steady stream to England, the Netherlands, France and Italy. In the early eighteenth century screens and tea boxes - were broken up to be made into furniture, while the finer works of European artisans were sent on a two to five year journey to China or Japan to receive their finer panels and decorations. We of the Occidental world are atill adapting the treasure of the Orient to our homes. China, potter, eloiaenne ' and bronze, silks and embroidery work eo cunning as to defy explanation, carved woodwork, quaint ebests, wonder ful screens, lanterns, lamps and lamp shades, pictures, woven reed furniture, and wonderful rugs, ao wonderful ' that when a great American mill would devise "New" pat terns, they search the Orient from the Mediterranean to the Sea of Japan for patterns: indeed 96 per cent of our rug design find their" source in the eastern world. That section of our pageant devoted to Chinese, Japanese and Near Eastern Art is to hpw the com formability of that art to Western Home. f( Furniture is distinctly our heritage from. the past, Jl around it is woven all the romance of history, ex pressing as it does the ideals and thought of the people who originated each particular style. The luxury of Louis Fifteenth's court is seen in the over-ornate Rococo and elaborate fashions of that day. In like manner the ciasie simplicity and restraint of the succeeding regime, clouded by suspense of the impending revolution is seen in the Louis Sixteenth furniture designs. In an earlier day the sturdy Cromwellian spirit is evidenced by the tough sub stantial oak constructions of the period. The works of the Adam Brothers, Sheraton, Hepplewhite and other English furniture creators of the eighteenth century all indicate the preferences of those aristocratic Georgian times, while the Empire Style is so cloBely allied to the ambitions of Na poleon that the significance is unmistakable. In the Pageant we are howing a number of suite of historic furniture and in order that the "effect" may be heightened, people dressed in the clothes of day gone by, identical with each type of furni ture shown, will be in the setting. ' It is hoped that this part of the exhibition will re inspire your enthusiasm for fine old furniture and that you may love the old pieces that you have the more. 9 Modern homes are made or marred by the harmony of all the things that go into the rooms. The various Modern Exhibits will ahow happy combinations of furniture . styles, floor coverings, draperies, wall paper, china, glass, pottery, silverware, linens and the many other thing, that go to make homes beautiful. All such modern settings will be graced by fashionably gowned models supplied by Thompson, Belden & Co.. who have gona to much trouble and who have co-opratd in every way in order that the public may be well pleased with this exhibition. We particularly wish to point out that the things In these settings are not necessarily expensive, but within the reach of all who are spending money for furniture and furnish ings. The whole thing is rather a matter of taste and ear in selection and arrangement. With few addition and alteration the furnishing of many a home can be made infinitely more pleasing, useful, com fortable and home-like. The purpose of, this Pageant is to point out these things, and the publie is asked to remember that further personal advice will be given JUST AS FREELY and in the spirit of this Pageant, AS A SERVICE.
