RECORDS RECREATIONS. Liate Fashions. ST will be very giad,” said Mrs. Rodgers, Yto tell you all about these latest styles,” and pointing to a magnificent display, con- tinued: “New York dealers have nothing newer than you see there. I think that for quiot, beauly and attractiveness the inven- "tions this year surpasses anything ever brought out. Let me sh ow you afcwhs and bonnets that in Gotham are considered very swell and just the thing. “There for instance,” taking down from its pedestal a wee bit of a bonnet, ‘18 the latest agony. That is what we call a Caro- line Rewboux, and it has made a decided hit with the ladies for street wear.” The bonnet is of I‘;ghl olive shade, trimmed with faucy mixed brafi, clusters of fine rosebuds around the brim, the whole sct off most effectively with a black velvet bow and large steel buckle, *“That is n very sweet bonnet,” observed the ludy, “but if you would like to see some- thing L{nt the ladies simply rave over just take a squint at that,” and she held up the cutest specimen of feminine head-gear the reporter ever saw. It is roferred to asa sensation in crush pink enhanced by a wreath of rosebuds around the brim, crown decorated with fine cut jet, roscbuds and Freuch lsaves. X A recoption bonnet pink olive, trimmed in lace of gold and poppies, would strike the favorable bent of any woman's fancy. “There is a hat’ continued the fair talker, “‘that bl“c‘l( l\gllnn 1 r(l:hr to, l““}:)l‘: e o east.” t has a clystarof u mts meatling under tho tront, rim and artlly hid by a short lace veil falling Efllll—ly over the forehead. “‘That is one of the most stylish things in the market.” An- other bonnet called the Bugenie Parisha, having a pleated net crown and edged with fine-cut jet and set off vy large gold and steel buckles, attracts attention. The real, “away-up” thing, however, is a sort of scoop-shuped hat with tancy-faced dreggs of wine-colored velyet and the crown embodded in @ cluster of natural grasses, twigs ana cherries. A toque of cardinal crepe, crown formed entirely of silk and decorated with poppies aud leaves, is ravishingly beautiful. Thbe black legborn hat is also much in fashion this season and among the bon ton considered quite swell. Artificial roses, buds, forget-me-nots, lilacs, ete., aro largely worn as party and re- ception ornaments. e make of these im- itation mdornments has come to be marvel- ously perfect. Thus it wiil be seen that the ladies of Omaha nued mo longer send their orders away to New York for their hearts’ desires. Doane College Commencement.

Harmony and beauty are the entrancing allurements of the noblest and best in being and those who are able to reach the hearts of men through the melodies of sound and the beauties of creative thought are an imspiration to the world that lifts it up to its best estate. That this is your field of effort we believe, and we trust the future for its more perfect recogni- tion. There are many difficulties to be overcome before full acknowledgement will be mi The world is cold and critfcal in its dealings with the asperations of genius, and it positively refuses to honor individuals until they become the living exponents of an expression of soul that compels homage for sake. That you will be able to reach comwanding place we confidently be- lieve. We are conscious of your genius; we bave faith in your courage; we have coufl dence in your devotion, and as you toil on, remember that there are none that have a greator intercst in your success or will have more pride in your achievements than the old soldiers of Council Bluffs.
