When you are Introduced

"When she is being presented to an
older woman, lady should rise, but
she keeps her seat when a younger
woman or man is presented to her.
A hostess, however always rises and
offers her hand to all her guests.
Upon receiving an introduction, it is
not necessary to say anything at all,
such as how do you do, pleased to
meet you, etc. A woman NAV smile
and bow her acknowledgements, unless
she wishes to show special frieudli-
ness. when she extends her hand
Men usually shake hands with each
other. 1t is a mistake to embarass
lady by leading her about a room and
presenting her thus to a roomful of
people. If there be small group of
people, the hostess then may say after
greeting her, Mrs. Black, let me
present Miss Brown, Miss Elsie
Brown, Captain White and Doctor
Green. Men should always, be taken
to LADY, to be introduced. In her
own home hostess may introduce as
she peases, everyone to everyone
else, but it is always well to renem-
Der, at other places, such as large
balls, receptions or indiscriminate
gatherings of any kind, that we must
consult the wishes of others before
giving introductions. AS the intro
Queer is always responsible for the
person presented, much care should
be taken in this respect, and the pos
sibiity of thrusting UPON another an
unwelcome acquaintance avoided A
lady g permission must always be asked
before presenting to her man who
wishes to make her acquaintance.
Of Course, there are exceptions to all
rules and at small, informal dances
among Young people who know each
other we'll girls and boys freely intro
duce their friends without asking
permission. . New Idea Woman's

PENSION OFFICE
TO PAY VETERANS
Will Distribute More Than ST
100000 Among Old Sol
dierS--ASk for Increase.

Preparations were made by the
Milwaukee pension oftlce for the regu
lar quarterly distribution of pensions
which began yesterday. On that ano
the succeeding days, Pension Agent
Coe at Milwaukee will distribute more
than 81 $50, 900 among old soldiers of
this ana the surrounding states that are
included in the Milwaukee agency.
'The new pension law granting an
increase in pay to old soldiers accord
ence IN the amount distributed this
payment" said Mr. Cole "While
thousands of applications have been
sent in by pensioners listed at this
agency most of them have not been
acted upon by the department and con-
sequently they will not receive their
increases this pay. There are about
| 900 cases where increases have been
granted under the new law but in
most cases the increase is effective for
| but about a month and therefore the
| duueu dlnOuHl " NC pdlu ouI VIII NC
small.
! Mr.. Coe said that he estimated the
increase in payments made will not
exceed $4,000 for the April payment,
which is almost infnitesimal compared
with the total amount paid out. There
are about 90, 900 pensioners listed at
| thp MiIWaukae 3papcV
Another remarkable thing about
the operation of the law is the small
percentage Of new pensioners who
have made applications for pensions
under the new law.
1t has always been supposed that
there was large army of old soldiers
who had never applied for pensions.
The estimates of the size of this Gun
known army" as it has been called,
have varied widely, and one argument
in favor of the law passed by the last
congress is that it would serve to
bring out into the open this unknown
army and permit its members to par
ticipate in the quarterly distribution
of funds by Uncle Sam.
Such is the case has not proved to
be case. According to the latest es-
Inmates maze by the pension officials
according to Mr. Coe, less than per
cent of the applications received by
the department come from new claim
ants. The others come from ole
pensioners who ask for increases. Mr..
Coe says that of the number of appli-
cations made only about 2 per cent
come from new pensioners. The size
of the unknown army still remains a
subject of speculation.

SAD DROWNING OF
AN |XON|A FARMER
ROCK RIVER YESTERDAY
CLAIMED OTTO PAUTZ,
Boat Upset While Crossing River
On Way to PiperSviIle - o.
Cupdnt Could Not SWim-Sdd
MiShdp Witnessed BY Wife Who
Could Not Render Assistance.

A sad drowning occurred near
PIpersville yesterday morning, the
victim being Mr.. Otto Pautz of the
town of Ixonia, who resides on rural
route NJ. 3, across the river and
about half mile from PIpersville.
AS the story of the unfortunate
occurrence was told TO The Leader last
evening by one of the citizens of Pip
ersville, it is as follows:
1t appears that Mr.. Pautz left bis
home with some eggs to market al
Pipersville, making the intended
journey in row boat When he hao
proceeded within about four rods Oh
the shore, the current of the river up
set the boat and the occupant was
precipItated into the river, with the
result that he was drowned.
The accident was witnessed by Mrs.
Pautz from her home, but she was
unable to render assistance. 1t is
said that where the boat upset, the
water Is only three feet deep. The
gentleman could not swim and the
supposition is that the swift current
soon carried him into deeper water.
Four boats we're out OIL the river
yesterday after the accident in al
effort to find the body. but telephone
communications last evening disclosed
the fact that the remains had not
been recovered.
Mr.. Pautz was about forty eight
years of age and is survived by the
widow and four children, two boy:
and two girls. He was born anC
reared near Pipersville and has an ex.
tensive acquaintance in that locality
He was also we'll known in Water
town, having visited the city often
In fact he was here On election day
The bereaved family have the sympa
thy of their many friends.
