The following suggestion comes from one
who helped to plan the first New Year $
reception ever held in Omaha and who
has had prominent part in the social
life of the city ever since. Her name is
withheld by request:
To the Society Editor of The Bee: Re
garding the revival of the beautiful old GUS
tom of Keeping open house New Year S
day, your mention in last Sundays paper
was most timely and l for one hope that
not only the young women, but all the
old families will do their share on this
day of all days OF the year when hospi-
tally is appreciated. 1t would mean so
little; a little light refreshment-some cake
and bonbons with grape juice, fruit punch
tea, coffee or chocolate and a hospitable
hostess to serve it. In years past, n bevy
or girls and young women would receive
together during the afternoon, and evening
too, II there was no other demand upon
them. and the men would go about from
place to place carrying greetings. Why
can not this be done again this year?

The indications of a fortnight ago have
developed into a reality. Society is going
to dance during the holidays, and dance
hard, too. Beginning next Thursday evening
for ten nights in succession, excepting the
two Sundays there is dancing party for
every evening and every one of them is to
be smart affair too That means every
night during the holidays and at least
two after New Years. There have not been
days enough to go around this year. Every
body seemed to want to give a dance
and because of conflicting dates and in
ability to secure the desired place. four
big affairs, dancing parties, were given up
and by hostesses that would have made
them functions of no small consequence.
In the main, these are all for the achool
folks, and 1t is said that the Cotillon club
Is to extend it's list to include a goodly
proportion of this set, at its New Y ears

Aside from the dances, however, little has

An Artists Paradise.

Capri, beautiful in itself as win
ter resort, offers an irresistible invita-
ton to artists, since it has an inn
where anyone, by painting a picture
on the wall, can get free board.
To the lovely island Of Capri, with
it's perennial summer, its blue grotto,
and it's lemon groves, came, some
fifty years ago, a ruined artist. He
opened an inn, and died rich. In his
will, leaving the inn to his heirs, he
made these conditions:
.'The charge per day, two bottles OF
red Capri wine included, is never to
be more than six francs.
eff an artist is too poor to pay, he
shall paint a picture upon some wall
space, receiving all the accommoda-
lions accorded to those paying the
highest price.
eff any German artist shall come
to the inn, he shall be accommodated
and shall receive the amount Of his
fare to Germany upon his promise
never to return to Italy"
The inn is conducted today on these
conditions It's walls are covered
with paintings. Now and then a
German gets his fare home.

MASTER OF MOTOR CARS.

Marqu1se de Fontenoy in the New
York Tribune.-King Edward is hav-
ing a big garage for motor cars built
in connection with the royal news, or
stables, at Buckingham palace. There
will be not only a garage, but also a
repairing shop and quarters for
chauffeurs, who have now been placed
under the control Of the master of the
horse, the duke Of Portland, and
form a permanent feature of the royal
household, ranking the same as the
royal coachman and head grooms.
The king has given special orders,
however, that, owing to the proximity
of the royal palace.no large store of
petrol is to be kept on hand. The
motors of the prince and princess of
Wales will be attended to and cared
for there, but the other members of
the royal family have been given to
understand that they will have to
make provision elsewhere for their
motors and chauffuers.

THE WYOMING MASSACRE.

the fateful day had Queen Esther the
Amazonian ruler Of the Senecas, for
its central figure. Some 20 Of the
Connecticut settlers who were taken
prisoners by the British and Indians
were ranged around in a circle. Out
side this ring of death a row Of saw
ages stood with drawn spears, making
escape impossible. Then Queen Es-
Their entered the circle armed with a
death-maul and crushed in the skulls
o. her victims, whose soaps were af-
terward fastened to her golden girdle
in CHASTITY adornment. Queen Els
theirs rock is still preserved as a
memorial of this bloody episode.
The most fearful scenes of all were
witnessed as night fell. Then, more
than 1000 homes of the settlers were
set on fire and the valley became one

Art and Personality.

What does it matter to their art

Mr.. Jeffries amuses himself in his
leisure hours? Yet in the large and
fashionable audience which assem-
bed at the Bijou theater there were
evidently many persons who were
drawn by no other motive than a curl
osity to see the champion pugilist of
the world.
These made their presence felt by
calculating in Mr.. Jeffries' tender
yet stalwart love passages:
'Uppercut her, JIM" Or by crying
out at that supreme moment when
Mr.. Jeffries def1ed the villain:
Soak him, kid! Soak him!'

Forty fort, where most of the women
and children of the settlement had
been placed for safety, the widest
panic prevailed, and hundreds fed in
terror before the cry. "The savages
were coming!" Many of the women
were drowned in the Susquehanna;
others went down the river in canoes
and on RATS, but the greatest number
made their way to the wilderness
known as the Great swamp, and
plunged into it's depths to escape the
nameless horrors which they dreaded.
The saddest, most pathetic phase OF
all that terrible chapter is the story
Of the suffering endured by those
refugees. They persisted pitifuIly in
scores, and the region now called the
Pocous was strewn with their famish-
ed bodies. For years the place was
known as "The Shades of Death.

ADVANTAGE OF TWO TEAMS.

Sir Charles Kirkpatrick OF the
touring English ''socker" football
team was talking about cricket.
in a northern garrison town last
year, he said, "a match was ar
ranged between the officers OF the
garrison and the county lawyers.
"The officers prepared a superb
luncheon for their visitors, and all sat
down to the repast before the game.
THE lawyers did full justice to the
good things. Like giants they at
tackled the champagne and black CT
CARS. End the officers were more
than hospitable. Bottle after bottle
was brought in, and the costly black
cigars from Havana lay in profusion
everywhere.
"Fina.ly the lawyers would have
nothing more. Their faces, though,
were already flushed, and as they
emerged into the sunshine of the
cricket field their glazed eyes blinked.
"The soldiers, who had partaken
very sparingly themselves, winked at
one another. Victory seemed as
sured.
"But what was this? Out of a
marquee a crew of athletic giants
came running, and began to practice
batting and bowling in admirable
fashion.
Who are those chaps? We don't
