In The Northeast Qorner (By Bill Spurgeon) Ran accross an old Atlas of the state of Indiana last week end found it quite enlightening. Entitled “Historical Atlas of Indiana." the volume has pages almost the size of this newspaper. Date of its publication was 1876, and one. browsing through it. can learn a good deal about any place in the state just by looking at one of its 500 pages of maps, drawings, and business directories. First thing we did. of course, was look up Syracuse in the Index. A complete map of the town was shown, taking up better than a quarter of a page. It seems that Syracuse, some 78 years ago, was divided into three distinct parts. One was the so-called “original town.” located in the area of the uptown business district and running down towards Syracuse Lake. A second part of town was an addition to the southwest across the creek and to the west of South Main Street. The third part, apparently not connected with the first by anj’ roads at all, was the portion around the railroad station and grain elevator and to the south thereof. Not having the atlas at hand, it being the property of Dr. R. C. Buley of the Indiana University history department, we are unable to attach the proper names to<he various sections of Syracuse. Next time we look at it, though, we will be armed with pencil and paper so we can take notes for the enlightenment of ourself and our readers. We did remember some of the names from the Kosciusko County map in the atlas, however. One fact that struck us as unusual was that, on the map, the present lakes of Syracuse and Wawasee are considered as one lake. Its name, of course, was Nme-Mile or Turkey Lake, as we have mentioned before in this department. Oldtimers hereabouts tell us that before the construction of a dam many years ago, Wawasee itself was so shallqw it actually seemed like several small lakes, seperated by marshy ground. So we can see how, before the construction of a dam. the present Syracuse Lake could have been considered a part ITCH ME-NOT. IN 15 MINUTES.

■ ■ From Hoopskirts To Nudity - - - Well, Almost

"From Hoop Skirts to Nudity” was the theme of the program, Monday 8 November when the Ladies of the Round Table met with Mrs. Louise Connolly, who was in charge of the Style Show viewed, by about 50 guests and members. Mrs. Fred Hoopingamer led the “parade” with the basque waist and long full skirt of 100 years ago. with Miss Bea Bachman following with a modified mock nudity in a fetching Baton Twirling Costume. Mrs. Leonard Barnhart in a red printed jersey demitasse, Mrs. Carl Sorenson, who fascinated her audience with the so-soft material you love to touch, an all wool (from France) delightful brown skirt, and Mrs. A. L. Miller, in a so comfy looking lounging robe of navy blue with rose lining, aroused much attention. Next came Mrs. Noble Myers in a short quilted top robe in red and black satin, and trousers in the new tapered style, who accepted the compliments but indicated her choice might be the red wool lace she had previously modeled. Mrs. Ralph Method in a “British Lady” gown and a jeweled satin hat, which brought out the stars in her eyes, Mrs. Carrie Rapp in a flannel brunch coat so cozy and pretty, the ladies were envious, Mrs. C. J. Kline in a lovely nos& coat-dress sweater, and Mrs. cSIT of the "big" Nine-Mile Lake. ' Another thing that impressed us was that the county was not without its Wawasee. even back in 1876. It was not the same lake as it now is, though. According to this atlas, the Wawasee Lake of 1876 is the lake to the southwest that we now know as Dewart Lake! Anyone around here know if this is correct, or could it be a mistake on the part of the map-maker? If it is correct, does anyone know when Dewart became Dewart and the present Wawasee gained its present name? True to form, Webster Lake was not known as Webster Lake in those days, either. The town of Webster (not North Webster but just Webster) was shown, located about where it is today. East of it the lake is known as Boydstown Lake, named after a mill which looks like it was located about where Epworth Forest is today. This Boydstown Mill must have preceded the mill on the south side of the lake—the mill which many of you will remember was destroyed by fire four or five years ago. Things we always wonder about when we look at an old book like this*one is if anyone of our readers can remember back to the days when it was prepared. Not likely, we think, as 78 years is a long time, but it would seem probable that many residents can remember hearing about how things were around here in 1876. It would be interesting to compare notes with some of these people some day. The business directory section of the atlas listed about a dozen names for Syracuse, but we will wait and list them for you next time. For us, only a couple of them sounded even remotely familiar. For some of you, we might even be listing some personal acquaintances of years past. We will see! Arts and Crafts Members of the Arts and Craft Club met Monday evening at the home of Mrs. A. L. Miller. Little girl’s felt draw string purses were assembled and trimmed in various colors after a short business meeting. Refreshments were served by the hostess. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Nelson Miles. The lesson will be aluminum tray etching.

Penn rounded out that group with her striking black and red taffeta evening gown, with black velvet stole. Mrs. Otto Rhode was fashionably casual in a shortie nylon coat, Mrs. Clarence Ruch neatly attractive in a green cotton street dress, also Mrs. Beulah Bushong in red and black with red accessories, and Mrs. Charles Dietrick modeled a green and brown knit with picturesque Peter Pan collar. Mrs. Merton Meredith also wore knit in gray Dacron and Orlon, washable. A fashion make of jersey suede in a pumpkin shade was worn by Mrs. Hilary Bachman. Mrs. Clair Dreher in aqua figured jersey and Mrs. Noble Blocker wore a gray nylon semi-formal over taffeta, with pink lace, half mits and tiny pink hat, Mrs. Blocker set the ladies agog lateer, wearing a practical beauty in a gray jumper, complemented by a pink sweater. Miss Bea Bachman put a teenage period to the program, in a pajama set of sweater and zebra trousers, rounding out a high type program, keyed to the times.
