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

Everybody Is Invited
To Our Second Annual Furniture
PAGEANT
For the Week of March 28th
' Evening Entertainments on ALL
FLOORS for Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday
7:15 to 9:30 P. 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.
