Winter Exercises.

If there was any one suggestion more
than another that ! would commend to
the attention of a person whose nose
turns red with the first cold Of autumn 1t
would be to avoid overheated rooms.
Whether it is the extreme temperature
which causes the redness I do not know,
but the fact remains that a nose suscepti-

hours will elapse before 1t again re-
sumes its normal color.
1 have said more than once that an i'm
poyerished condition of the blood Is fire.
uuently the cause of red noses, and, OF
course, circulation affects 1t. But 1t is
true that there are conditions of tempera-
ture which it is wise to avoid. because
by so doing the weakness Is not increas-
ed, and sometimes in great measure is
prevented.
one great trouble about q red nose is
that once chronic it is difficult to cure.
Should a nose show the slightest tendency
to redden preventive measures should be
started at once, else the blood vessels Of
that organ become dilated and naturally
easily fill with blood at the slightest
proyocetion A nervous start viii stimu-

red In an instant.

ern men with southern principles" were
known as "hunkers.' The Van Buren,
men, the anti-TeXaS men, the radical
democrats were likened by the regulars
to men who would burn their barns to
clear them of rats. Thus the Van Buren,
men came to be known as ''barnburners.
The warfare between hunkers and barn
burners brought to the front many young
democrats heretofore unknown, and
these almost without exception were barn
burners Chief among these was Samuel
]. Tilden. Another leader of the barn
burners was Silas Wright, who refused
the nomination for Vice President In 1s4a

his refusal being the first private mes
sage ever sent by telegraph. John A.
DIX and John Van Buren, were the prac-
teal politicians of the barnburner fac
ton, and were opposed by William L.
Marcy and Daniel 8. Dickinson of the
bunker forces In 1916 the barnburners
carried the state elections. In 1916 they
elected some members of Congress and
defeated others, and the old democratic
state organization-the oldest and the
strongest in the country-was destroyed

TIMELY HINTS FOR
WOMEN READERS
INVITATIONS FOR
VARIOUS CARD PARTIES

A bridge or euchre party is pleasant
form of entertaining friends in the even
ing, and entails but little effort on the
part of a hostess, for unless she has four
tables prizes are not necessary. and the
supper served may be simple or elaborate
as she chooses.
While it is permissible to invite friends
by writing the date and hour on ones
visiting card, it is not really good form
when both men and women are asked
for the evening. For a formal evening
affair a note should be sent, and the COM
munication should be brief and read
something like this:
MY Dear Mrs. Smith:
Twill not you and Mr.. Smith play
bridge with us on Tuesday evening, the
18th? We are asking friends to come at
$3.50. and shall hope to see you. Cor
daily, MARY ELLEN BROWN
Such note requires an immediate an
swer, accepting or regretting, that a
hostess may know without delay whom
she is to expect
The answer may read:
MY Dear Mrs. Brown:
1T will give Mr. Smith and me great
pleasure to accept your kind invita- ton for
bridge on Tuesday evening, the 18th, at
$50 o'clock. Most cordially,
ELIZABETH LOUISE SMITH"
In arranging an evening of cards a
hostess should always regard herself as
| an extra, and invite enough to play.
Women who entertain much know to
| their sorrow that it Is not unusual fol-
| one person to stay away through Illness
and SO the hostess must play-and this
would obviously be impossible If she has
| not figured herself as an extra.
| Tables ready for playing should be in
| their places before guests arrive, and q
name card at each place, or written on
| the score, will save confusion.
| 1t is customary to wait until all guests
arrive before starting the game, but if
all wait for just one, the hostess may
give the signal for play, and take the
| cards of the late one herself until he or
she arrives.
| Such an arrangement prevents the
pleasure of others being delayed unneces-
| sarily.
] A hostess is apt to announce at the be-
ginning of the evening either the hour at
| which playing is to stop, or the number
| of rubbers. When the latter is done those
| who finish first may continue to play for
their own amusement, but their score
does not then go in into their total credit.
