PERSONAL AND SOCIETY
TWO HOOsIER YOUNG LADIES' Ex-
TERRENCE WITH REAL COUNTS.
The Imposition of Some People Dealt
UPOn-A NartinsvilIe
Affair.

Two Indianapolis young ladies who spent
some time In Germany were one day while
there introduced TO two young men. The
men were introduced as Count - and Count
- The girls supposed that the title was
fictitious and they alluded TO the young men
as Count and Count 10, and had lots Of
IN, with them and talking about them
They told the young men that they would
b. obliged 10 return 10 the States as their
father was soon TO be inaugurated Pres
ident. and as many other wild tales as their
minds could suggest. The young ladies re-
turned home and since then they have found
out that the young men are men Of genuine
tifle and the correspondence which has be-
gun has grown between them
Two ladies met in the physicians office
one morning and chatted while they awaited
their time. One told Of the abuse the neigh
bors made Of her telephone. She said she
really did not object TO having them come
in and use IL. but she did object TO having
some OF their friends call her up and ask
her 10 take messages TO the neighbOrs. or
run to their houses and call them to the
telephone. This led TO a conversation about
the position of people. and the other lady
told OF an experience she had. She lives in
an apartment house. She is a woman who
takes a short constitutional walk each
morning when she is able One morning,
while she was out, lady in a carriage
heck0ned her 10 stop and come 10 the edge
Of the walk The one in the carriage was
a calling acquaintance. who asked: Mrs.
e., are you going homer" Being assured
that the walk was 10 end there, the one in
the carriage continued: Il have a lot of
invitations to deliver, and you know it is
an AWFUL 1OD ana all or these nave TO go to
your flats. / want 10 know If you will take
them for and be sure that they are de-
Ivered TO the right rooms. l am afraid that
II / send them the elevator man will net be
careful" The one who was walking did not
know what to say She did not like 10 seem
unEraciOus and refuse. SO she held out her
hand and was given all OF the envelopes it
would hold. There must have been a dozen
or more. The one of the apartment house
trudged along home, provoked at herself
and more provoked at the woman, but duti-
fully delivered each card at it's proper door.
But there was not a card IN the whole lot
for herself
The Up-to-date Club at Martinsville re-
Gently gave an evening with authors The
first part OF the evening the guests searched
for the titles Of books in unique illustrations
which were hung on the wall, twenty-five
volumes forming the library Another half
hour was spent in finding the names of au-
thOrs in another set of pictures. Partners for
refreshments were selected from a literary
salad where the lady drew the title of the
book and the gentleman proved the author
snip. The prizes were books.
The Easter brides will wear their wells in
revived fashion. The long veil Will be ad-
rate from the long veil, will be fastened
over the face. At the conclusion of the
ceremony the maid OF honor will detach the
short veil and carry Ii over her arm, and
the long veil will be left artistically ar
ranged, instead Of being hurriedly thrown
back.
one day recently written invitations TO a
luncheon were sent out. In the afternoon
the telephone Of the hostess rang and a
friend said: Mrs. NJ, / received your re-
ETets for a luncheon this morning. / am
not going to have a luncheon" The word
request had been read by the recipient
regret" and now the husband of the
hostess leases his wife about her newfan-
gled style of writing.
The latest pendant for the long chains
that are so much worn is cross. The cross,
as a design in jewelry, has been out of
style for number OF years. Now ii is being
revived and the correct Easter gift is either
a chain and cross or a cross to be worn
with the chain.
