WHEN INTRODUCING STRANGERS

1t is rule that the younger wom-
an Is always presented to the older
one, and an unmarried woman to a
married one. A young man, of
course. is always presented to an
older one. 1t is the ourtesy due to
age.
one making the introduction can
not be too particular in mentioning
names, and they should always be
given clearly. 1t is exceedingly try
ing for two persons not to know
what to call each other. In the case
OF married woman presenting a
person to any of her relatives the
greatest care should be taken to call
the name, but altogether to often
one hears the matron say: IT want
to present you to my sister" or
aunt" or mother" quite failing
to say what the name of the relative
Is, and the stranger knows that 1t is
not that of the married woman.
1t is not necessary nor, indeed. ex-
pected that a woman shall rise to
speak to the newcomer, unles the
latter should be older. Youth al
ways rises for age If one is courte-
Gus. The hostess stands to welcome
new arrival, but the others merely
DOW as they sit. A woman never
rises to greet a man unless she is
hostess or unless she wishes to nav
MIN special compliment. The only
exception in this is when the woman
Is very young and the man many
years her senior.
Shaking hands is a custom much
fallen into disuse and is omitted at
the usual first meeting. II the two
people being introduced are intimate
friends OF the hostess they are ant
TO have heard of and have an inter-
est in each other, and express cor
diality by shaking hands. A man
should never offer his hand first Ia
woman, but should he do n q
woman should take 1t. To refuse is
more than awkward. A hostess or
host is apt TO shake hands with tha
guests OF their house simply bacaTse
1t makes their greeting mora hos.
pitable, but 1t is not obligatory. n
II were possible to sum the thtna,
fixedly one would say that w,tS
friends one shook hands because one
wished TO, and to acQuaintances
merely bowed. But this Is NOT q
fixed principle Of etiquette. There
is much leeway.
1t Is quite unnecessary to intro
duce newcomer to the guests al
ready assembled during an afternoon
call. She should be presented to
one or two near her, but the whole
room need not be broken up by her
arrival, as It would be were she TO
meet all those present.

THE LATEST EUROPEAN FAD

When she is driving or automobil-
ing she can completely protect her
race with the maisette and still en-
JOY the landscape. The long handle
enables her to keep 1t raised to her
race without fatigue. as would not
be the case with a fan.
Manipulation OF the maisette af-
fords as much opportunity for grace
full posing as does the fan IN tbe
hands of a Castilian woman, Re-
sides, the grip OF the handle affords
an opportunity Of displaying beavs
tiful rings. while the clasp on the
fan tends to hide them. The msisS
ette play also brings into notice the
beauties OF white arm, as well ne
of the costly laces with which il is
adorned at wrist or shoulder.
The European authorities on stvle
say the maisette Is fast ESTABLISHING
itself in every capital.

AS TO NEW SPRING HOSIERY

a few days ago, the whole gorgeous
array was displayed in all it's bizarre
beauty in shop window, woman
kind stopped to look and to gasp.
The new hosiery will not be worn
right away, but those who plan to
follow the fad are not waiting until
spring to lay in a supply, because
the choicer-or the more bizarre
patterns will be gone by that time,
and there is certain satisfaction
in wearing the most startling pat
terms, if one proposes to go into the
thing at all.
1t will not be uncommon this sum-
mer to see a vividly colored bunch
of cherries nesting over the instep
of many a naughty dame. And If,
in crossing the street, the skirts are
lifted a little higher than the III
step, it will also be ascertained that
the cherries do not stop with a sim
gle bunch. but that they riot in
bright red profusion all the way up
to the very top of the stockings.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-04-07

If the evidence offered by the
shops is to be believed, the coming
season will be one of unequaled
splendor SO far as feminine hosiery
is concerned. The woman who aims
to keep up with the fads of fashion
will not only array herself in all the
colors of the rainbow, but she will
don hosiery that offers color COM
binations never before dreamed of.
Never before have manufacturers
had the courage to offer such start
ling effects as will be put out for
the new season. That they were not
wholly animated by foolish courage
is shown by the fact that their goods
have not been repulsed. To be sure
conservative women will probably
stick to the sombre colors and neat,
modest designs, but there are plenty
to give the new things display.
The gay and festive new hosiery
was not born to blush unseen.
Neither will 1t remain hidden in the
boxes or on the shop shelves. When,

MENDING BOX.

Get an ordinary wooden box,
bought from your grocer; cover it
with denim and pad the lid. Line
the box with a pretty wall paper.
On the outside make two pockets of
the denim, with flaps to fasten down,
and tack these pockets on with
brass-head tacks. In one pocket put
thread, thimble, scissors, etc. Fill
the other with scraps of wooden and
cotton material for mending. On
the inside lid tack pincushion, for
needles and pins. Garments and
stockings to be mended can be put
inside of box until your mother or
big sister have time to get at them,
and then everything is ready.

The women of France and Spain
are rejoicing in new instrument of
coquetry. It is called the maisette.
and the young Queen of Spain is
credited with invention. At least
It Is on record that she was the first
conspicuous woman to adopt 1t.
The maisette is a combination OF
fan, lorgnette and automobile mask.
It consists of fan with a long han
die.
In two OF the Stats Of the fan eye
holes are pierced and in these are
set lenses TO suit the vision of the
woman using the maisette. When
she raises her fan to her face at the
opera or In the ballroom her yawns,
her blushes. her smiles. her tears or
her anger are effectually concealed,
while she can all the time keep close
tab on what is going on upon the
stage or in the groups about her.

CARE OF UMBRELLAS.

1t is at the joints that umbrellas
break first, and it is scarcely sur
rising. for they are never oiled, and
yet are expected to work smoothly
and respond easily to the most sud-
den act of opening.
Most people after using an UNI
brella on wet day, even If they do
carefully dry 1t, regard any further
process as needless; but there are
other means Of lengthening their
term Of usefulness.
To preserve an umbrella and OBJ
tain the best possible use out of 1t,
the joints should be carefully oiled
with paraffln or kerosene oil, to clean
off any possible rust, just as in the
case of bicycle, and then be
touched" with lubricating oil to
make them work easily. Thus cared
for, the framework will last in ex-
cellent order with ordinary use al
most indefinitely.

THE NEW CoLoRs.

No color seems too vivid for the

with large loops of ribbon in the

blues.
When the hat itself is carried out
in black or dark color the trimming
Is almost invariably of the brightest,
the mushroom shape still retaining
its favor, not only with our winter
models of felt or velvet, but with the
hats Of crinoline and coarse straw
that are being packed for the South.

Presenting persons to each other
is one of the little courtesiest of
daily life so simple that 1t should be
done correctly without effort. The
rules are infexible, chief among
them being that the man is always
presented to the woman-that is to
say, the form is such that the woman
during the presentation is usually
asked If Mr.. So-and-So may be in
troduced to her. The introduction
may be put in the form of a ques-
ton, as Mrs. So-and-So, may 1 pre-
sent Mr.. Smith to your" or, Mrs.
So-and-So, l wish to present Mr..
Smith to you" The hostess never
says to the man: II wish to pre-
sent Mrs. So-and-So."

desire to enlist in any movement whose

should be no reason why Norfolk
should not bo able to undertake and
successfully carry out each fall, after
the harvest, something along the same
line.
Mitchell, s. D., city situated much
as is Norfolk and of about Norfolk's
class, has made wonderful success
" the annual fall corn palace project.
\ mammoth auditorium which seats
several thousand people Is filled three
times n day during the corn palace
period with spectators who pay hfty
cents each to see the show. Attract.
ions worth while are the drawing cards.
This project, which has been so sue
ccssfully worked out at Mitchell, has
appealed to number of Norfolk com
mercial travellers who have Invaded
South Dakota and they are all enthusl.
astlc in the opinion that the same
plan could be successfully executed
here.
Norfolk Is the shopping center OF
4 large territory and there Is still
much business along this line to be
developed. Some high class festival
such as corn palace each fall, after
the harvest, ought to do proportionate-
ly as much for Norfolk as 1t does for
Mitchell or as the Aksarben does for
Omaha.
In connection with the festival a
fine blooded stock show could be held
as n feature. An industrial display
of Norfolk's products, as well as a dis
play of products from all the country
side round about, would make excel
lent features.
Norfolk merchants are not the kind
who lack energy with which to de
velop such an undertaking to It's full
est possibilities. They have shown
their spirit by recently organizing the
Trade Promoters association
And here is project right in line

which could be made to mean very

state business done by Interstate cor.
porations. as we'll as Justice to these
corporations, can only come about
through Capitalization Of authority In
the federal government
While some of the republican dele
gates deemed II unwise at this time
to pledge the party as favorable to
the presidential candidacy for Sccre-
tary Taft, It was apparent from the
resolution that the big war secretary
had made favorable impression In
his Nebraska tour last spring and II
was also evident that the majority Of
Nebraska republicans would rather
take President Roosevelt implicitly at
his word and allow him to stand
sQuarcly by his declaration for the
wise custom which limits the presi-
dent to two terms" than to become
factors In a conspiracy to induce the
president to reverse himself and throw
both his own as well as the integrity
of the party at large open to merci-
less attack. And It is believed that
President Roosevelt will look with
much more favor upon this evidence
of confidence in his sincerity, as ex.
pressed by Nebraska republicans In
their Taft paragraph, than he would
have looked upon a resolution doubt
ing his sincerity to the extent of ex
pressing the hope and belief that he
could be induced by any means tC
abandon his decisive position.
The democrats, in declaring against
the Capitalization idea for interstate
commerce regulations, take a stand
squarely against Mr.. Bryan's now dead
and buried government ownership
idea, for that theory would place prac
tically ownership and regulation o.
railways very drastically in the hands
of the federal government.
The republicans commend this

SHOULD SEEK AMENDMENT.

The suggestion that Norfolk active
~ oupht TO 20 after an amendment to
the new federal court division law en-
ncted by congress last winter, so that
the same conditions applying now to
criminal cases arising in the Norfolk
district would apply to civil cases. Is
one worthy the serious attention Oh
NorrolIs business interests
Under existing conditions both part
les to civil litigation, with the con
sent of the Judge, may transfer their
case from this district to any other
court town for trial And while such
action violates the spirit of the law,
n Is nevertheless possible and will
probably be done frequently
An amendment to the existing law
recurring that all cases originating In
n given federal court district must be
tried at the federal court town In that
district, would remedy this existing
defect in the law. As II now stands,
criminal case originating In the NOT
folk federal court district can not be
tried at any other point than Norfolk
unless the defense show conditions
which would result in an unfair trial.
The enactment of the clause requir-
ing criminal cases to be tried in the
district in which they arise, gave Nor
folk advantage over the old system.
But. as suggested by Senator Allen,
that law should be amended, In the
interests of the people living in this
district, so that civil cases should also
be tried here, thus making 1t possible
for litigants to save long journeys and
heavier expense in Omaha trials.
