Postcard Invitations,

Although it is not the best taste in
the world to use picture postals for
Invitations, they may pass between
friends at the time of some impromptu
social happening or other, the sender
of the invite apologizing. however. for
her use of one. Thus she would write
in this case: Excuse postal, but we
are getting up a dance and long for
you. Tomorrow night. Write you will
make us happy by coming.
Indeed, yes" with her signature be-
low. would be quite enough for the
card of the invited girl if she herself is
pressed for time. but it would be pretty
to add a word more-'How good Of
you to remember mev'
A verbal response to invitations
requires. as l have said. some good
feeling behind it. and if it comes from
quite an old lady or gentleman here is
truly the time for gush Of enthusi-
astic pleasure. Old people love to feel
that they are still Of Importance, as
indeed they are when they are inter
ested in the welfare of young folks,
and they can never be too tenderly
treated.

TWO CONNERSV|LLE
GIRLS THREATENED
With Tar and Feathers by an
Unknown Writer.-Citi-
zens Are Aroused.
National News Association

t4SuNtohhi AsC"S <AcSoShotAchk
CONNERSVILLE. Ind, Nov. 49,
Threats of tarring and feathering two
citizens. The threats were made by
mail and were unsigned, and the pos
tai authorities have not yet been able
to capture the offender. One of the
young women is Miss Harriet Golf, for
merly of indianapolis. She has been
living for several weeks with Miss
Edith Hamilton in West Tenth street.
The first letter came to them last
Thursday and was addressed to both.
1t said that unless they moved in for
ty-eight hours they would be taken
out of the neighborhood by band of
masked citizens, tarred, feathered and
turned loose. In terror the girls arm
ed with a Ratchet and butcher knife,
sat up all night fearing an attack. In
the morning they told the police and a
guard was set about the place the fol-
lowing night. Another letter received
Friday evening warned the girls that
If they did not move within the allotted
time they would not only be tarred and
feathered, but whipped and rubbed
with salt. The letters were we'll writ
ten. The only suggestion of a cause
for these threats was a paragraph in
the last letter which said, those goo
goo eyes of yours have made enough
mischief here. They will not be allow
ed to make any more. Your faces,
which you think SO pretty, had better
not show themselves here after Sun
day" The young women. who are
pretty and well behaved, say they
have only looked pleasantly at the wo-
men and children along Tenth street.
No complaint has been made against
the girls by neighbors and they are
held in high esteem.

The Indian was not especially hardy
in battle. except when be fought the

Dispatch. The very fury of his attack
so far discounted that terrible germ
as to leave the red man in possession
of the field very soon after the battle
opened. Major Cicero Newell, who

amoug the Brule Sioux, tells in his
"reminiscences how the Indians con-
Quoted themselves in action. He says:
III an Indian caught a bad cold his
friends went with him to the bank of
str~am. where they put up little
tepee large enough for one person to
crawl into. Then they built big fire
and put stones on the fire. When these
were hot the friends put them in the
tepee with the sick man and poured
water on them. In this way they soon
filled the tepee with steam. They con-
tinued to do this until the sick man
was warm and perspired freely. Then
they took him to the creek and threw
him into the cold water. After that
they chased him with whip up and
down the bank Of the stream until he
perspired freely again. Then they
wrapped him in buffalo robe and al
lowed him to sleep. This always broke
up the worst cold

WINDOW DRESSING.
Effective Easement Curtains to Be Had
at Small Cost.

at Small Cost.
One Of the neatest and prettiest ways
Of dressing the window Of a room In
which it is not desirable to have fow-
ing draperies. is to use the easement
scheme Of decorations. For this pur-
pose there comes a specially sheer and
fine cotton material called easement
cloth through which the light shines.
although the interior of the room Is
shielded from outside eyes. but a sim
liar charming effect may be produced
by cotton wolfe. by Chinese or wash
silk, none Of which materials are cost
ly. The arrangement of the drapery
is simple. 1t is shirred scantily at both
it's ends upon fine sliding rods of BRASS
which fit into groves at top and bot
tom of the easement, II it be fun
length French window. and against
the sliding easements if the window Is
of the American type. Another ad
vantage Of this scheme of window
dressing is the ease with which the
draperies may be Numbered. for. be-
ing straight. guiltless Of ruff1es and
always unstarched. the merest tyro
may wash, iron and readjust them.
