Justice Anderson, an old friend of both families, tied the knot. After a general reception the newly wedded pair left for their future residence, at 1104 Georgia ave- nue, where they will be at howe to their large circle of friends. Social Forms at Home. youth wko is careful to salute his lady friends and acquaintances according to the usages of good society sometimes seems to forget to pay the same respect to his sister, not because he is wanting 1 affectionate re- gard, but because he has grown so familiar with her that it seems awkward to him to treat ber in any formal way. Yet when he meets her in company he should, out of con- sideration for her, be murkedly polite and at- teutive. Altbough politoness uecessarily follows to a great extent set forms, it should have its origia in affection for the individual, or, in & wore general way, in cousideration for others. Politeuess in socicty between Acqualntances or friends is demanded by cus- tom, ‘There is no necd to rewind readers that it should be exhibited. Politeness at home and between near relatives, even be tween husband and wife, though of much more importance in every way, is not 80 ob- viously necessary, and 18 too often neglected. ntlemen of what is known asthe ‘‘old school” were and are scrupulous in the ob- servance of polite society toward their wives and other female rolatives and in the nome circle, but later generations secemed disposed to treat relatives with less formality and re- spect than is habitually shown to strancers and acquaintances, The tendency should be resisted, however, and every encouragement given in the home circle to an observance of the rules of polite sosiety, modified only by a spontaneous exhibition of that greater affec- tion which exists between the members of & family group. The Western Art Association. The committes having charge of the forth- coming spring exhibition of the Western Art association, which is to be held from the 15th of May until the 20th of the samo, is com- posed of the following members: Clement Chase, chairman: W. H. Alfred, Dr. Jonas, Mrs. Edwin Davis, Mrs. M. S, Silkworth, Mrs. Dr. Park, H. A. Collins, Miss E. J. Shultz, Miss M. Butterfield. The committ is subdivided as follows: Premiums and drawing (including the seection of the judges), Mr. Smith, Mrs. Park; catalogue and printing, Mr. 'Chase, Mrs, Silkworth; tickots and advertising, Mr. Alfred, Miss Butterfield, with Mr. Frederick Knight and Mrs. John 8. Briggs as assistants, Comfit- tee on hanging, Mr. Collins, Dr. Jonas, Miss Shultz, Mrs, Davis, Mrs. Park. Mr. Gar- czynski has been appointed superintendent of the exhibition. There will also be a young gentleman in attendance who will make it his business to bring to- ier these artists who have pictures to and such of the visitors to the exhibition as may desire tosinvest. This will be a de- cided advantage to the professional artists of the city. Another and capital innovation that the association has made in this connec- tion 18 the of pictures. Half the proceeds from the sale of the season tickets is to be set aside for the purchase direct from the artists of a number of the most worthy paintings. At the close of the exhibition, the numbers corresponding to all the_season tickets sold arc to be placed in a box and drawn, one ata time, at the same time draw- g from another box the numboers of the chosen pictures, until all have been securea v the holders of the lucky season tickets, The season ticket cntitles the holder to six adwissions, either at one or different times, Industry a Sotiety Fad. Wouid heart of man once think 1t! Indus- try has positively come to be the fashion; and now the average girl of society take pride in earning—or at least in the appear- ance of earning—a reputation after marriage, not unly for a well-conducted household, but for scrving in the most tempting and scien tific style a well-cooked,well-selected dinner. She does not always know very much about sewing, unless, indecd,she has been educated in a convent school; but she pricks her fin- ger, irritates it with a thimble and works away on the petticoat tor the heathen all dur g the Lenten weeks, and at_Easter she an- nounces her eugagement to the young mil- lionaire, who was charmed at her industry and who remembered that his mother tola him not to fall in lo with a girl who had mot housewifely in- stincts, Now, this may have been the first bit of sewing she has ever done, but you may be very certain of ono thing, and that is, that having once found her cue she is goiug to be wise enough to manage it properly. She is by nomeans given to let- ting her husband know her weaknesses, and provided she makee his home pleasant, gives him good dinners aud is always a credit to him, he i8 not likely toi nvestigate the sew- ing department, and she is not in the least likely to tell of her own shortcomings in that respect. Fireman's Ball. The second grand annual ball of the Omaha Paid Firemen's Benevolent association at Exposition hall on Tuesday evening was all that the fire laddies could hope for. Over 1,200 were in nttendance, and there were more dancers than the hall could accommo- date, It was supposed that ample provisions had been made in expediting matters by hav- ing fourteen assistants to Chief Galligan as floor managers, but this industrious corps was kept busy ' every time & quadrille was announced.

The splendid exploit of the ofticers of the Missour: in taking off more than seven hun- dred people from the sinking ship and land- ing them safely makes i evident that the chief hope for a steamer disabled in mid- ocean is to get into a route where she will be sighted by other steamers able to carry her livine freight says the New York Herald. If an understanding existed among trans atlantic steamship companies that their v less would, at least in the stormy months, follow definite routes—varied, of course, to suit the changes of the seasons—the North Atlantic would be robbed of half its perils. Just as the safety of travelers crossing the Sahara is immensely increased if they keep in the regular caravan route, equally would the safety of life at sea be increased if the great steamship fleets adhere to definite and advertised routes, 1tis to be hoped that the International Marine conference, which meots at Wash- ington in October, will carnestly consider the importance of this suggestion. The Her- ald has more than ouce proposed that there should be at intervals of ten degrees certain defined crossings in the transatlantic routes to which all passenger steamers should agree to approach in each passage near enough to sight any vessel at the crossing. A di sabled vessel, by making for onc of these crossings, would thus in a fgw hours be overtaken by one or more powerful steamships. Possibly this plan of “‘relief areas” would entail less delay on steamers generally than the adop- tion of the *lane” route —— Faying as They Go. The Omaha motor company has paid into the city treasury $8,152.60 for paving dis- placed by the construction of its tracks on Sherman avenue.

She Is Mrs, Clarkson, and is as Shrewd a Politian as Hor Husband— Gossip About the Fair Sex. Tea Cigarettes. The ingenuity of the women of Lon- don and Paris in inventing new dissi- pation is without limit, says a London correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, To the morphine habit the dev- otees of sensationalism have now added the practice of smoking tea cigarettes, Spocial grades of the finest tea are used and the effect of the cigarette is said to be delightful for fully an hour after one has been smoked. After that comes the reaotion in the form of a nervous trembling and exeitability, but which is subdued, according to a woman of title, who rather goos in for all these things, by a thimbleful of frozen absinthe. Thus, by industriou ringing the changes on morphine, tea cigarettes and absinthe, with a fow inwrigues, some scandal and a raft of white hot French novels the woman of society manages to worry through the day. 1 wonder if the American girl’s success abroad is not due to her naturalness and health.

She hasa complexion of roses and lillies and tho roses are exquisitely tinted. Her face is beautiful. 1t is a'softly rounded oval in shape, and her eyes are large and expressively blue. Miss Hattie Blaine will be a, debutante here next winter, and one nundred to oue that she’ll be a belle, with a following the like of which has uot been seen here for many days. od by a A lady, well known in the fashionable world of New York and Newport, who is at preseat visiting San Francisco, said, according to the Examiner of that city, when asked about the betrothal of an American professional benuty. Miss Jennie Chamberlain, to a captain in the English army: I think the story is true. Captain Laylor Leiland is a man of good family, who was formerly in the Ninth Lancers. a crack regiment. He is not & man of wealth, but Miss Cham- berlain has a competoney, inherited, or in prospective, from her grandfather in Cleveland, O. Miss Chamberlain made her mark in society very rapidly. She went m her Cleveland home to New- port in the summer of 1850 or 1881, and signalized herselfl by appearing at a morning lawn tennis party in a costume of purple velvet. A [riend hinted that her taste needed correction, and being a girl of sense, she tooi the suggestion in good part and adapted herself to the fashions of her new acquaintan The next season she visited London, became conspicuous 1n the prince of Wale’s set and has since shone as a bright, partic- ular star at London, Paris, Homburg and other fashionable resorts. IHer match with Captain Leiland will disap- point her friends, who expected a cor- onet for her at the very least. The opera glasses at the Chestnut street opera house were frequently turned last night from Cleopatra to box A, oc picd by a large, bandsome, open-faced, jolly-looking gentleman with a sandy mustache and a comely lady in a light blue costume, says the Philadelphia In- quirer. The lady was Edwina Booth, the tragedian’s daughter, and the gen- tleman with her Charles Grossman, her husband. Mr. Grossman is a Boston broker and a miliionaire. They have palatial residences at Noewport and Bos- ton. Her father made her o present of $100,000 when she married him a few years ago. She is his only daughter Mr. Grossman and his wife are on their way to Washington. Mrs. Grossman had been staving with her father in New York during his illness, and they parted on Sunday night. In conversi- tion with friends who gréeted her in the box, she said that Mr. Booth appeared 80 well when she left him that no one could tell he had been ill, The society woman depends greatly on luxurious bathing to renew herstrength, says a New York letter to the Kansas City Journal. The Turkish bath must be taken outside the home,but the bath- rooms in some of the wealthy houses give evidence of their costliness and beauty of the part they play in the daily economy. Mvs. Henry Clews’ batliroom is a grotto of onyx; walls, floor, ceiling, busin, tub,ll being of the seulptured stone. Distilled and per- fumed waters low at a touch; it1s like a cool cave where Undines sport, and no Monte Cristo could project a thing move fanciful and costly. That of Mrs, Cornelius Vanderbilt is very beautiful, The walls are of mirrors, over which run painted vines of morning glory and passion flowers, forming an arbor sug- gestive of the bower where Venus bathed, and the reflections doubtless furnish Titiauesque hiuts of attending nymphs, The daughter of writes as follows to the New York World: Among othe resting visi- tors Washington en during the last fortnight was Mrs. Amelie Rives-Chanler,who stopped heie on he way to her home in Albemarle, Va, At an informal reception given Lo her by her cousin, Mrs. William Cabell, I among others had the pleasure of meet- ing the new star in the literary firma- ment, I could not see her from where 1 sat as she entered, but while waiting Senator Ingalls my turn for presentation I thought of tall. statuosque woman with n headw crowned with the rare auburn locks so loved by Titinn, for this was the ime pression 1 had received of her from what I had read of this far-famed Vir ginia beauty.

Nearly everything 1 have rend about her seems to be & complote contradiction, or else she im= pressod me differently. In the first place she is short, with™ a protty figure, and her hair is yellow.

For everyone who was prosented to her she had a pleasant greeting. and in her speech sho was not at all affected. Could you have heard, as I did, her conversation with two young girls, you would not have recognized in her any= thing theatrical. Her horse, “‘with its groat, knowing eyes,” her much-loved collio, tne_long, dreamy rides th \u‘zh the old Virginia hills, and her girl friends were the subjects which she talked about as simply as any child, I asked worked, and she said ent night hours, when thing is still. 1 cannot work in time; I want to be outin the frosh air.” Her next book will ba called **White Slaye: the plot bein, taken from every-aay life.

Miss Sallie Hargous is a pronounced brunette, somewhat pallid of face, with large eyes of a deep violet, shaded with sweoping, conl block lashes, and a wealth of soft, wavy huir, says the New Youk Bpoch. She belongs entirely to the Spanish order or beauty, wherein she differs from Miss Wright, who is purely Scandinavian. Miss Hargous is not tall, y thing but short; not thin, ything but stout, Her shouldors round and shapely as those of the Venusof Milo. Her figure, in a word, is perfection. ~ She inherited 00,000 from her father, who made his ‘pilo” in Mexico, yet she is noted for the unpretentiousnesé of her manners and the simplicity of her frocks, and it she danees a trifle_slower than the rest she is none the less graceful, She is unquestionnbly the belle of the season, and although "it is her first season she sed somo_seven diffe rringe, She is also the ‘Bobby,” and will have scen des of Tife on her next birthda, Before closing this lettor your eor- respondent must not forget to describe a girl boomer, who is located on a claim near the old site of E&ing City, says an Okluhoma correspondent of the Kansas City Times. Miss Nellie Bruce is the dadghter of an old boomer. For years her father has been a boomer, but” Nel- lie has been gent to school until a short time ago, when she taught a term of school in a Kansas district. Several months ago her father built a neat frame house out on a claim near the old Jack Wantland horse corral and then sent for his daughter. ‘rhe day before Nellie arrived some Indian scouts found old Bruce’s house and burned it down. When the girl arrived the poor old man with tears in his cves told her of the destroying of his little home, but that girl was clear grit, and she showed her nerve by getting out and going towork. 3 ocated a claim, dug out a home in ide of a hill, and there she lives, surrounded by a flock of chickeus, a couple of dogs, and armed with a couple of large-sized revoly she is holding the fort. She is the idol of all the boom- ers, and any disrespect shown to Nellie Bruce will be ans ble with death. Probably there 18 no man in the United States who enjoys a more exten- sive acquaintance with working mem- bers of his party than Mr. Clarkson, snys o Washington letter to the Phila~ delphia News. But there is another porson in this room who knows atmost as many politicians as Clarkson. There are women who have a gift for musie, poetry, painting, society; Mrs. Clarkson has an aptitude for politics that amounts almost to a gift. There is no more popular woman among the politicians of the country than sh They all know and admire her. Probably she knows & greater number of political secrets than any other woman in America, and hotds them closer. That a woman can Keep a secret is well exemplified in her, She is a fine representative of that admira- ble class 0& American women who ac- company their husbands everywheré, share their labors and confidonces, and shed over the activities of business or political life the light of a womanls sympathy, cheerfulness and refinement. Mrs. Clarkson has been among poli- ticians all her life. 'With her husband she has attended three or four national conventions and has been present at many of the innumerable conferences held in their rooms. W} Mr. Clark- son went to New York last summer to labor in the national committee as a campuign manager Mrs., Clarkson ae- companied him. = No secrots were kept from her and none were ever lost through her. In Iowa she is known and loved by all the politicians of the state. They go to her for counsel in polities or love. So us she sits here for an hour in her husband’s office public men by the hundred, statesmen, orators, men of success in politics and law, eagerly grasp her hand. Tn her politics, as in her husband’s, there is no selfishness, They are ever assisting others, never seeking for themselves, She is entitled to a place with those other American women politicians, Mrs. Logan, Mrs, MeDonald of Indinnapolis, and Lady Randolph Churchill of England, Like them she has mixed with politicians without losing any of her womanly grace and sweetness, She has, too, reared a family of boys who are sure to bring honor to their parents and win success for themselves, - A “Rise.
