soCIALs AND CIRCLES.
To THE &C. AND L.H.W.: The Daughters
of Veterans of Hiawatha, Kan recently gave
a &C. social that proved to be quite success.
1t may assist some LH.W. in getting up an
| entertainment. short program was given,
after which the following supper was served:

eff you know good thing pass it along"
| Letter Circle" that is unique and not too
cd TO prove interesting is formed by selecting
any number of persons, three more. who
have something in common and enough snap
about them to get up readable letter.
Say the "Circle" is TO contain three men,
bers; number them ], 2, g. Number i writes
q letter, sends il TO No. 2, who also writes one,
| incloses the two and sends them to No. g.
who also writes one and sends the three to No.
Il.
No. takes out his or her own letter. writes
another incloses it and sends it again to No. g
who in turn does likewise TO No. B. Thus. after
the frst round the Circle Letter" always
contains three letters.
Draw up set Of rules something after this
manner: Each person to write not less than
/ A,av I'M a
letter in his or her possession for more than a
stated time shall be fined such sum as the
majority of the members shall agree ETC.
Ideas on rules will readily suggest themselves
to the members. 1t affords a great study of
character and chance for improvement as well
| as amusement
Should you wish 10 form Letter Circle"
write to the Secretary, who upon receiving a
| list of those desiring to form such circle. will
| send them number and file the name. Mr..
| Seaman has agreed to do this.

word in defense of Mr.. Seaman. OF course,
| I do not agree with what he said in his paper
on why ] Am Single" but i at least give
him credit for the courage OF his convictions.
| He has been criticized on all sides, but of
course he expected 10 be.
May it not have been fear of these same
criticisms that caused Mr.. Hargrove to get
married, and Mr.. Buchen to beat such a hasty
retreat2
After all Mr. Seaman did not thrust his opin-
ions upon us. lie was requested to give his
reasons for his bachelor state. Meet argument
with argument, and we need have no fear for
the result. Besides he says he is open to con-
viction.
Man is a very perverse creature. Give him
his own way and he will shortly come over to
! our way of thinking.
With the wish that the year 1896 may prove
suspicious one to each L. H.W., I make my
exit, leaving behind me a conglomeration of
nothing. Loyalty

DEAR FRIENDS: Ever since have had the

have camped on il myself few times but not
lately, for do think Amos has earned a rest.
j have been wondering whether all the at
tacks on him have been precipitated by the
actual reading of his articles or only from

word at which any good woman could take

few of L. ii. w. girls his real attitude to-
ward our sex; partly in his innate chivalry to
Us and partly in the reverence with which be

OF course be has made sport OF our vanities
and who has not? And i have noticed that

not one voice have we heard in his defense,
though we know he has dozens of friends in
