Miss Elizabeth R. Thomas evening by the young people of the St. Paul's Lutheran church. The affair promises to be most enjoyable. The program as announced Saturday will be given without change. .".; A pleasant surprise party was given Sunday by the Misses Mary and Elizabeth Niewoehner at their home near New Paris, in honor of their sister. Miss Ellen Niewoehner. An elegant dinner was served at noon to Miss Rosa Kuehn, Miss Marjorie Simpson, Miss Emma Niewoehner, Miss Maude Pettlbone, Miss Martha Niewoehner, Miss Marie King, Miss Amelia Niewoehner and Miss Alma Kuehn. '- : A girl who has her own tea table can make it much more attractive by often having little novelties. . All girls like to try something new, and the new things become by and by, regular favorites. One of these novelties is to put about half a spoonful of orange marmalade in a cup of tea. It gives a delicious flavor and is a change from the usual slice of lemon. Many persons have served marmalade sandwiches with tea. but it is newer to use the marmalade in the tea and some other kind of sandwiches. Those made with a nut paste would be good, or pate de foie gras. Swedish wafers, buttered and heated would also be delicious. Some girls do not care for tea and are very fond of chocolate, so it is a good plan to Berve chocolate, too, for one's friends. It can either be done by having the chocolate sent up from the kitchen all made or by using an instantaneous chocolate for unexpected company. The latter is made by pouring boiling water over it just like tea, except that it must be stirred until dissolved. And with the chocolate another novelty can be used. A marshmallow dropped into hot chocolate gives an unusual and unique flavor which is much enjoyed by many persons. A very charming addition to a girl's tea table would be two little glass Jais which she could keep supplied with the marshmallows and marmalade. " J S " J Mr. and Mrs. A. C.

She gave a beautiful proof of her warmth and graciousness of heart at Martha's Vineyard decently, while visiting friends, adding one more to the many incidents of this kind that we delight to remember in connection with our great American prima donna. Nordica is directly descended from four of the most important families of the Island's history, and when she expressed a desire to sing to her many friends there, the matter was at once taken in hand and invitations issued to friends, distant kindred and represenatives of the old families of the Island. As a greeting to the most distin guished women of the Vineyard descent, the event assumed a patriotic significance. After giving her friends a rare treat in a selection from French, German and English songs, she was presented with a handsome silk American flag and staff with gold en eagle. Standing under Its folds. she sang again, the Star Spangled Ban ner, and made a little speech, her first in public life. She outlined her well known plans for a great music settlement and center, with Festival Houce, conservatory, etc., on the Hudson. This she wants for America and young American musical aspirants, to shield them from the hardships and temptations they are bound to encounter in seeking their musical educations abroad, and to establish a center for American musical art. The program for the affair this evening is as follows: Polonaise No. 2 Liszt Mr. BenoisL Aria "dich Theur Halle" from Tannhauser" Wagner Mme. Nordica. English Songs: a Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal. .

Kalamazoo Sets Very Good Example to Local Citizens

The Civic Improvement league of Kalamazoo, composed of women, has just concluded a most Interesting experiment in the war of showing how the streets of the city can be effectively cleaned and kept so. They secured permission to take charge, through the department of health, of Main street for a distance of threfe and a half blocks, for three months, the city to pay them a sum equal to that usually expended for this work, and further to supply the appliances customarily supplied. The women took hold with intelligence and vigor and have demonstrated that the streets can be kept clean. They inaugurated the waring system, bad the streets frequently flushed, and most important of all, secured the co-operation of the abutting property owners and tenants and procured the enforcement of long neglected ordinances. After the experiment had been successfully concluded, a most interesting report was prepared by Mrs. Caroline Bartlett Crane, who had initiated the movement, wheh will repay study. The Kalamazoo experiment clearly indicates what women can do: what officials can do if they will only go about the work In the right way; and that the average community does not so much need more laws, ordi nances and regulations, as it needs the enforcement of those already on the statute books. The local authorities of Kalamazoo hav learned their lesson as they have agreed to continue the good work begun by the women. What is the condition of your back yard and alley? Is the latter an impassable mire in winter and a muddy lane in summer, or is it a well-graded.

IN THE WOMAN'S WORLD

What They Are Doing " MAKING CLOSET' ROOM. Shelves and Cupboards May Be Simply Constructs by HeuMwivM. A clever woman who at the expense of two or three dollars converted aa objectionable doorway In her apart znent Into a most convenient desk and bookcase has set an example that many housewives could follow with profit Fortunately for the purpose of the one woman, the casing was In the sit ting room, the door proper opening Into the next room. The door was remored from Its binges and sent to the storeroom, but It might quite aa well haTe been closed and left In place, for th casing became the secretary frame, as It were, and twelve Inches from the top a.ahelf was fitted and nailed Into place. A similar shelf waa then placed a foot below the first one, this second being an Inch shallower than the easlog. Four inches under was nailed a third, this being of very thin wood, for at that point the desk began. Dividing the lower section at intervals of six Inches with very thin wood, two pigeon holes were formed at each end, leaving a space in the center, in which one partition was placed horizontally for writing paper. At either end, just below the shelf, two small drawers wers made and attached by a carpenter. Two feet lower another shelf, also an Inch narrower than the easing, was joined, and to this was added a flap, which formed the writing section when down and when up fitted in flash with the second shelf, entirely closing the desk proper. Little shelves or drawers and a cupboard may finish the bottom, the latter being a trifle more expensive than the former. A girl who has the slightest cleverness with tools can make this herself except when drawers are desired. The whole was painted to correspond with the woodwork of the room. For the girl who must contrive to make her bedroom Into a sitting room without conveying the Idea of its real use such a convenience Is Invaluable. The best way of arranging shelves Is to hare the top serve as a place for ornaments and another below for books. From this one curtains placed on a small brass rod may hang to conceal underclothes and even toilet article arranged on the lower shelrea. Incidentally It Is the part of wisdom so to arrange the draperies that they will not fly apart unexpectedly, thus revealing domestic secrets. For such a purpose Invisible hooks and eyes answer admirably. CLASSES OF RUGS. Oriental Carpets Are ef Five Distinct Kinds Many Subdivisions. Oriental rugs are divided ordinarily into fire classes Turkish, Persian. Turkestan and Indian. These classes are still further subdivided. 'according to the locality In which the rug Is produced. In weiring oriental rags threads of crool are attached to a warp of cotton or wool by running knots, then Inserting a weft of cotton or wool for the back, pressing the knots home with a wooden or Iron comb and finally leveling the pile with a pair of scissors. The loom is a simple vertical frame, carrying on its upper part a beam containing a warp, which is kept stretched by a rod or pole passing through it rersian rugs are of close weave They contain more knots to the inch than any kind of oriental rugs. While the factory system of manufacture has been Introduced to some extent, still most of the oriental rugs that reach the United States are the product of home labor, in some cases entire families being engaged in the work. It is frequently the case that only one pattern Is worked In a family, and It Is said to be a crwtom sometimes for a j pattern to be banded down from par- j eat weaver iu me cuiiurcu. uu constltntlng a sort of heirloom. In the matter of dyes, sharp, well defined colors are not desired by orientals, and it is a custom to leave remains of dyes In the kettles, as the constant mixing and blending of colors assist In obtaining the soft, broken tints so highly prized la. fabrics. , IsdigQ. iJorcelAjlu bine.

rolled and drained passage-way? Is your hack yard green with grass and gay with flowers, making it a beautiful and wholesome place In which your children may play? Or is it a deathtrap, adorned with a fragrant swill barrel, heaps of ashes and garbage, piles of old boards, an untidy fence, while the bare ground is soaked with greasy dishwater, making it a place abhorrent to your ehildren as a playground, ani

as unsafe from a sanitary point of view as a sewer? If you have such a back yard, let me tell you the day Is nearly over when educated people keep what some one has wittily called "Queen Anne fronts and Mary Aun backs." Can you wonder why John ny and Willie prefer to play in the street instead of the yard? I think their preference for the street shows a proper Instinct and good judgment. Cleaning Time. Mary, this is clean up day. It's the seventeenth of May. Set the children all to work; Don't let any rascal shirk. Little Jim can pick up sticks And I guess the other six Can be kept most mighty busy. Come along here. Jane and Lizzie, You two girls can clean the cellar. -Here, you. Bill, you lazy feller. Get to work with that old scraper. Nellie, pick up all the paper. Jackie, you can rake the yard (See 'em all aworkin' hard.) Henry, cart this to the street. Well. well. Mary, here's a treat! Nothing left for us to do. We can boss "em. me and you. I'm with Teddy every time No race suicide for mine! Little Things of Interest. yeiibw. -orange, crimson' and rose are the colors most used. Bines, reds and yellows wear best, as they improve with age. The others are likely to deteriorate. Aniline dyes are employed in some rags, bat they are not regarded as desirable. The best dyes used are derived from plants and insects, and the production Of dyes has been followed for centuries as a distinct trade. Nana Loom Nuge-Great-grandmothers rag carpets are traveling under an assumed name. As yon all know, they are now Martha Washington and Puritan rags, bat they have taken on a softer, smoother texture since their revival. They still are made on aa old band loom, but of new rags not really rags, after all, but of new sateen carefully cat into even widths, and the thinnest among them of colored or white tape. The shades of material used in these rugs are varied according to the general effect desired, and what cannot be accomplished In the cotton material is gamed by the careful selection of colors in the cotton chain. These lighter weight rugs made of tape are so pliable as to be useful for table covers In studies, nurseries or even In a general sitting room where there are many children and things are designed for hard usage; also they are used to cover cushions for studio purposes or porches.' The rugs made with a colored chain are warmer In tone, bat those with a white chsln are more sertleeable because they are more success folly laundered, which. In this case. Is a polite way of describing the washing process, for in these particular rugs it may best be accomplished by laying them on a smooth surface and scrubbing them with a household scrub brush or else by putting them Into a washing machine.

Fried chicken with cream sauce and corn fritters Is an old dish, but one that too seldom finds a substantial place In the home.

Unl In the year 1604 William Patterson, founder of the Bank of Scotland, conceived the grand project of planting on the Isthmus of Darlen a British colony which. In his own words, "should secure for Great Britain the keys of the universe, enabling their possessors to give laws to both oceans and to become the arbiters of the commercial world. This colony was actually founded at a place still known aa Puerto Escoces, but Its people were subsequently forced by the Spaniards to evacuate and retain to Scotland. Argonaut.
