Ladies' Of the G. A. r..

Editor National Tribune: It is a
pleasure to be able to state that the
work of the Ladies of the Grand Army
of the Republic Is rapidly growing in
the Department of Nebraska under the
able and patriotic work of our enthu-
siastic Department President, : Mrs.
Christa A. Hoge, of Kearney. We now
have % active and loyal Circles in Ne
braska. with the membership growing
beyond our most sanguine expectations
Many of the dear old Grand Army vet
Grams are coming into our Order, and
assist us greatly in the work, which is
much enthused by their presence. With
the rapid diminishing of their numbers
the old veterans are becoming to realize
the loving interest the Ladies of the
Grand Army have in their welfare as
our bio ID relations.
The extreme difficulty that exists in
establishing eligibility for membership
in our Order makes its patent of mem
bership the more precious. And right
here is suggested the thought that the
women relatives of veterans of the war
for the suppression Of the rebellion
should lose No time in securing the
proofs of their blood relationship be-
fore their veteran relatives have joined
the silent majority. Several appica-
tions have had to be rejected for mem
bership in our own Circle, Garfield Cir
Gle, II. recently. because a niece 1r
daughter could not remember the COM
pany or regiment of their soldier rela-
tive, and there was no means of as
certaining it from the meager informa-
ton they could give, having forgotten
to obtain this information during thcl
lives of their soldier relatives.
Our relief work during the past year
has been liberal and efficient. We have
two Soldiers Homes in this State, Grand
Island and Milford, and we find a gen.
uine happiness in contributing to the
comfort and enjoyment of the gallant
heroes in these institutions, in sending
delicacies and other mementoes Of our
love and affection. We find especial
pleasure in contributing financial as
in looking after and caring for NEEDY
and distressed veterans and their fam |
lilies. With us it is n work of love, |
rather than a formal duty. There is |
scarcely a week but we are called to
pay the last sad tribute to some dead
veteran, but while we do not propose
that they shall go TO their last resting
place "uncoffined, unknelled and un-
known" We believe in that greater duty
of remembering them by kindnesses
and consideration while they are yet
with us in the flesh, and thus smo 9TH |
the pathway of their passing years with |
the attentions of love that shall let !
them know that their achievements of I
1S61-65 are to us priceless heirloom
and to them an impcriShable honor

young girl comes to stay with another
in strange city she may not unnatur-
ally expect to see as much of its society
as possible and to be taken wherever
her friend may be invited, and it is
always allowable to ask for an invita-
ton for stranger to a reception or
even a small party, but not to a dinner,
as the hostess there has presumably
hlleu up her table. 1t is not necessary
to have your guest always on your
mind, nor to plan laboriously for her
amusement, as that becomes an effort
which she will very likely notice, to her
discomfort: but while she is with you
the ordinary course of everyday life
may be altered a little in order to give
her all the pleasure within your reach,
and she should be made to feel that she
is thoroly welcome, which is, after all,
the very essence of hospitality.

Cozy corners can be made effective by
Introducing wooden scroll or lattice
work into an improvised arch made to
fit any recess-for instance, that be-
tween the fireplace and the wall The
seats must be very wide to be comfort
able, never less than 30 inches, and
when large cushions are used, 33 inches
will not be too wide. Stamped velveteen
in the charming renaissance designs is
beautiful for the upholstery used in
these corners and cretonne is also effec-
tive. Cover the seats and let valance
reach from the seat to the floor. If
made of material light in weight, such
as cretonne or denim, ruffle should be
placed at the bottom of the valance
A few cushions are necessary, but
pile of vari-colored cushions is a mis-
take. 1nterlined with cotton wadding,
they are pleasant accessories to a nap

Ptttsburg. John Aston Mocrhead.
O. son of John Moorhead, Jr. and
grandson OF John Moorhead, VINO was
one CT the group OF great Pittsburg
s.eel magnates in bis lifetime, left the
famiiy home recently with his mother
French maid, and went TO New YORK,
where they were married.
Society here Is in a great state OF ex-
element over the marriage, which
broke on relations between the young
mai and his family. Friends OF the
hioorheads have been informed that
he will be disinherited, which Will
mean the loss of great fortune. for
the head OF the family is many times
a millionaire.
According to those who are close 10
the family, a stormy scene preceded
the departure of the French maid. Mrs.
MCoIhead spent several months on
the continent last year and on her re-
turn home in the autumn she brought
over with her the pretty little French
Plrl, whose family name appears to
have been lost somewhere in transit
She was known here only as Frances,
hUt Mrs. Moorheal has a vague idea
thai her last name may have been
Vorce.
The girl was a beauty, and she had
not been installed in the Moorhead
mansion a week before it became man
fest that young John Aston, eldest OF
the children, was tumbing in love with
her Mrs Moorhead finally took the
toys father into her confidence.
Papa Moorhead refused to take the
| attachment seriously. He said that II
| the boy was let alone for little while
| 1t would pass off just like the measles
| He would not even sanction the dis,
! mlssal Of the pretty maid as {
measure of precaution. And so things
were permitted to drift for ssvera
months.
The attachment became SO painfully
manifest about week ago that Mr.
and Mrs. Moorhead summoned thu
young man into their presence and In
formed him that he must imemdiately
cease his attentions to the family serv
ant. To their utter amazement he no
only refused point-blank to obey, bu
declared his intentions to make he
his wife. That brought down such
storm that the boy threatened to qul
the parental roof on the instant
Tbereupon his father informed hin
1t was no maid or no Moorhead mil
lions.
Then the French maid was sum
moned, and Mrs. Moorhead dismisse,
Der. She told the girl she must leav
the house at once, and that her pass
