IOME NOTES # SOCIALGOSSIP United States Daughters 1812 Hold Annual Meeting The home of Mrs. Charles Dorsey Arm- strong, on Woolworth avenue, was thrown open Thursday to the United States Daughters of 1812, State of Nebraska, when the annual meeting was held. There was & large attendance. The president,. Mrs. Herbert B. Gates, presided. Reports were read by all officers and the chairmen of ing committees. The historian's report, by Miss Agnes Tabor of Kearney, Neb, was an interesting document, tracing the de- velopment of the soclety, step by step, from the day It was organized at Hotel Rome, on December 2, 198, by Mrs. Gates, to the annual meeting Thursday. There has been a steady increase in membership, and one of the most surprisng items noted of the state ripus stand- in this report is the fact that the society | possesses three real daughters whose fathers actuaily served in the war with Great Britain in 1812—Mrs. S. 8. Peters and Mrs. Elizabeth Stearns of Omaha, and Mrs. C. E. Adaims of Superior Neb. Two Interesting anid instructive papers on | marking historic spots in the state were read. One written by Mrs. Charles Oliver Norton of Kearney and read by Mrs. A K. Gault. The other one compiled and read by Mrs. Adams of Superior. These papers were carefully prepared and showed deep research into the history of early and laterday army forts and trading - posts established in the state. Mrs. Gault, as chairman of the educa- tional committee, read a delighttul paper, outlining prospective work along educa- tional lines which the soclety may under- take at some future time. Mrs. Willlam Archibald Smith read a paper, written for this meeting, by Mrs. Flora Adams Darling of Washington, D. C. Newsboys and their work whs the theme. *Mrs. Charles Catlin of Milwaukee, loaned one of the most interesting papers read during the year. It was entitled: “By a Colonial Fireside,” and was read by Mrs. Armstrong. It gave a vivid and glowing description of a Colonial home, built in 1667, situated by the sea, in an old New Ergland town. It described the big long house with eaves—The pathway of shells and gravel which crunched ander feet; the big wide porch With seats built in on each side—a pleasant place to sit on & summer’s afternoon and listen to the | street.

A delightful surprise party was given in honor. of. My. Walter, Balley at his home, 4716 North Thirteenth street, Thursday evening by & number of his friends and Introductions WISH it were possible to give a set of sentences that could be used when a girl is presentéd to a stranger, re- marked a chaperone. Here, too often, girls appear at a disad- vantage. ( Broadly speaking, & person, be it man or woman, i8 never introduced without one or both knowing some- thing previously of -each other. This fact may be the peg on which to hang & smentence after the first: “It is & pleasure to meet you;” or, “This is nice,” or some other equally cordial expresaion of interest. This, of course, 18 said by the person to whom the in- troduction is made, but this does not throw the responsibility of eonversa- tion upon the one brought up, for the second may continue Without Inter- ruption after the opening greeting. 1f she knows of the new acquaintance from- other friends, she has only (o “I have heard so and so speak or, “We have some friends In common, have we Dot?" Any sentence in each trend makes an opening for conversation. If it chances that the two who have been introduced have never previously heard of each other, the hostess give them a tople for beginning, as: “You two should know each other be- cause you are interested in the same books,” or, “are ‘among my best friends,” or anything that the two mag be able to take as an opening. Bhould she be so remiss as to omit this, there is always the person who has made the introduction to be talked of for & minute, or the newest play, 5("' the query if the one introduced is — in town for a few days or means to live in the town. It does not matter what is sald at first if some words are spoken to prevent a gap or feeling of awkwardness. Giving the hand is entirely optional on the part of the woman unless a man should have his extended first. He should not do so, but if he does the woman must take it or be guilty of rudeness. Under the circumstances mentioned by the correspondent of what to do when meeting for a second time the man who has forgotten the introduc- tion to her, I think the girl must do as she chooses. She s apt to know Whether his forgetfulness is inten- tional,-and should it be, a-case diffi~ cult to fancy, she would, of course, {gnore him ° absolutely. But if she cares to continue the acquaintance it is good form for her to remind him of the previous meeting. Any invitation to a gathering at which only a certaln number of per- sons are’invited, such as lunch, din- ner, cards or theater, must be an- swered, and that promptly. R. 8. V. P. is used only on formal invitations, 1f & girl wishes to ask a man to call on her she should do so i3 the name of a parent If she lives at home, or in the name of an older person who occuples the place of guardian. For instance, she should say: “I hope you will come to see us. My mother and 1 would be so glad to have you.” It she lives with other girls she should say! “Won't you come to see us some time? - It would give my friends and me much pleasure to receive you." .

Morey of Hastings, chair- man of the art committee of the Ne- braska Federation of Women's clubs. is arranging exhibition dates for a collection of fifty paintings, loancd to the state by the Chicago Water Color society. The collection will reach Nebraska January 15, and will remain in the state two months, Quring which times it will pase from one club to another. A few more dates re- maln open and clubs desiring to exhibit collection may negotiate with Mrs Morey. This will be one of the finest col lections ever brought to Nebraska and af fords an exceptional opportunity to clubs interested in ert. The paintings are all fine specimens, most of them originals. From the Phoenixville (Pa.) club comes the following recipe for an ideal club. “Take two parts of desire for a larger Iliving, and two parts of intelligent Inter- est in the vital questions of the day, and mix them with enough soclabllity to make a light sponge, and set it away to vise. When it has risen to about twice its orig- inal bulk, add some carefully picked of- | ficers and directors—washed in the waters of self-sacrifice and plentifully dredged with perseverance. Then add one part civic work, or as much as your town (or state) requires, and one part philanthropic actlvity; allow a gospel measure of the genial spirit of reciprocity for sweetening, cream it up with rich thought, and pour it In; add enough of the milk of human to make a smooth batter. Take a whole heartful of enthusiasm, dilute RS A \\\\\ S~ it with a little common sense. and when the alkall of enthusiasm unites Wwith the acid of common sense in a foaming mass, stir it quickly into the mixture. Then 8dd your spices—womanliness, tact, humor, | broadmindedriess ‘and talent—with a dash- of @ifference of opinion. “Now, take a dozen fresh committees, and beat them up weil—beat them up till they're stiff enough to stand alone, and programs—not too full—as they must have toss them in; then throw in your afternoon room enough to swell up, with animated discussion. Lastly add your flavoring— Robert Browning's extract of optimism, though some prefer Emerson'’s. l “Beat the whole up well with individual jeffort. When thoroughly beaten, pour it Into a large vessel of opportunity, which has been previously well greased with | Roberts’ rules of order, to keep it from sticking, and set it in a comfortable club house from one and one-half to two hours. | Test it by inserting a splint from the| broom of experience—which splint, when the club is gone, must come out, clean and | shining. When it has cooled a little, make an feing of afternoon teas, lectures and various entertainments and spread thickly over the top. This will make a feast of reason and a flow of soul for abodt 100 members. Berve it once a week or every two weeks."

To make it cut five slices of white bread about half an inch thick, and spread each with softened sweet butter before slicing it from the loat. Trim off the crust from the slices and shape the latter into squares of even size, about three by three inches. Lay each slice, buttered side up, upon a pastry board. Spread the first one with cream cheese rubbed smooth with minced parsley and cress, the latter previously sprinkled very slightly with lemon-julce; cover the next slice with a thin layer of smoked tongue freed from skin and gristle; strew the third with riced yolk of a hard egg seasoned with salt, pepper, and a bit of dry mustard, and put a layer of smoked Imon or of rosy ham on the fourth slice. Pille the slices one upon the other evenly, and in the order mentioned, and top them with the fifth slice laid with the buttered side downward. Wrap carefully in a cheese-cloth binder which has been slightly dampened, and welght with a book for an hour or so. ‘When ready to serve, remove the cheese- cloth and divide the little brick into thin slices, cutting downward with a koen-edged carving knife. The result will be & square formed of half-inch strips of bread pressed together and crossed by lines of green, red vellow and pink. A different style of rib- bon sandwich is made with a number of slices of brown bread and of white bread piled alternately, each slice previously spread with cream cheese blended with finely-minced nuts, and overlald with a crisp leaf of lettuce. When sliced down- ward the sandwich shows a pretty medley of brown and white crossed with hairlines | of light green.—The Delineator. [MINIATURE ™ RINGS NEW FAD Latest Fashion of the Season Dis- plays Likeneases of Ome’s Friends. Miniature rings are a new fashion of the season. It started in England and was brought to New York by an English | artist. The rings take the place today of the time and |in many cases the same setting is used, the bit of hair being replaced by a tiny ivory likeness of some friend or relative. In these days the fashion of wearing an Ivory miniature as a brooch is regarded as a little too much like blazoning one's family affairs before an unsympathetic public, but 8o inconspicuous are the mini; escape this criticism. In a studio in a remodelled stable in East Fortieth street there is an interesting collection of the miniature rings in various stages of completion. The work is of a very tedious character, since It all has to be done under a powerful gla For the most part the miniatures are the size of one's thumb, though for dinner rings they may be as large as a big mar- quise. As It i3-first necessary to have the mounting before furnishing the likeness the town s being searched for antique settings originally used for hair. These are not easy to find. —— There Are Others.
