The Masons gave another one of
their most enjoyable little dancing
parties last evening in Masonic hall.
A delightful evening is reported.
The earl of Caithness of Lakota,
known as Mr.. ]. 8. Sinclair, was q
prominent visitor here yesterday.
1t will be learned with great pleas
ure that the w. A. Gordons, former
prominent residents and favorites in
society here who have been in Mime
apolis for some time, will return to
Grand Forks to make this their home.
For a time, at least, until a suitable
House can be secured, they will reside
at the Dacotah.
Splendid for chatting dish party
Curried Oysters.
Put twp tablespoonfuls of olive oil
into saucepan, add one scant tea
spoonful of curry powder, two table,
spoonfuls of finely chopped Spanish
onion, and cook all together slowly
till the onion is bright golden color,
using care not to let it scorch; add
one pint of strained oyster liquid and
simmer until the liquid is reduced to
about half the original quantity.
Strain through fine sieve, season
with salt and drop of tobasco, then
return the saucepan to the fire and
lay in the sauce % large. plump oys-
tiers which have been previously
washed and drained. Watch the oys-
tiers constantly and as soon as they
begin to curl about the edges remove
the saucepan from the fire. Lift the
oysters out onto squares of buttered
toast and then pour few spoonfuls
Of the sauce over each portion. Serve
at once.
The warmth and brilliant sunshine
of the past few days turns the femi-
nine mind toward spring and what she
will wear for headgear. We under
stand this season is to be one of I'M
parrelled gayety in regard to color
for the brightest hues of the rainbow
will be worn by old and young and
what prettier and more becoming than
the hat made entirely of brilliant hued
flowers in shade becoming to the
wearer. The new shapes will be as
varied as the heads that will wear
them, but there are certain styles that
will predominant. A careful survey
shows the small and medium shape
will prevail and all the shapes are
worn forward on the face and banked
high in the back with brilliant flowers
and maline tqlle, etc.
There is much complaint here about
the scarcity of servants, and we Won
der why, because the highest of wages
are paid here and most of the homes
where servants are kept are thorough
ly equipped with modern improve
ments, making the work in the aver
age home light and easy, but no mat
ter now easy you try to make the life
of the average servant who comes to
Grand Forks at the first opportunity
they will enter hotel in preference
to the private home life. Daily we are
asked not once but often, Where can
l get a servant?" believe one hun
dred servants could come into Grand
Forks tomorrow and in a great many
less hours they would all be estab
lished in excellent, comfortable homes
at high wages. for there is not any,
where near enough here to supply the
demand.
Another complaint we hear even
more often is. mo house to rent"

ing and that at a very rapid rate and

to house this increasing population
II Grand Forks wants to quickly reach
the 10000 population mark set for u
by James J. Hill, see to 1t that more
capital is expended toward housing
the people who come here seeking
homes that they turn not away and
seek fields where rents are lower and
houses more plentiful, for 1t is without
doubt that 1t is the scarcity of houses
that keeps the rent as high as 1t is
here.
A careful study of the dress ques-
ton convinces US that the circular
skirt is still very popular, even for
wash materials. Some will complain
that the circular skirts that have 10
be laundered sag. 1t may be that after
while they will If not properly iron
ed, but 1t is matter of but a few
moments to rehang them and the per-
feet fit over the hips and in fact all
the way down the skirt more than
makes up for the trouble. The thin

coming season.
