WOMEN KEYED UP

DR.. HAMLrN is HERE NOW

by MELBTFICIA-Janua 20.
The star for the rest Of the week seems
TO be Prof. A. d. F. Hamlin Of Columbia
university. who is lecturing before the
Fine Arts society. Last week Il was DR..
Powys, with the stimulus Of his promised
return.
After all the delightful and thrilling
starts and semi shocks that learned doc
tor from oxford gave Omaha society. the
matrons this week were keyed UP with
expectation for what the intellectual light
that our own Columbia university would
send to them DR.. Hamlin was presented
yesterday afternoon TO smart gathering
at a luncheon at tho Fontenelle, where
Mrs. j. r. Summers was hostess in his
honor TO the courtesies committee OF the
Fine Arts society.
But he didn't startie us at ALL" said a
matron Of keen tongue and keener per-
coption. Indeed he was quito restful
after DR.. Powys-a nice little. well be-
haved gentleman. who dined with polite
but marked regard to his plate. A little
more of that perfectly adorably rogulsh

Advance Suggestions for
the February Hostess

Valentines day is the special holiday
Of the youth. and nowadays even small
children feel that a February 18th with
out party is as incomplete as Thanks
giving without a turkey, or Christmas
without a tree.
A very enjoyable affair can be given at
small expense. and with very little
preparation. All that is necessary to
the success Of a party Is originality.
Given this. the omission of expensive
decorations and elaborate souvenirs will
not be noted. while a novel touch will
lend TO the simplest menu a distinction
which will make the supper unforget-
able.
The small hostess who gives an after
noon party may send some such invita-
ton as:
Saint Valentine has given me
A message just for you:
So, Monday. II you'll come for It,
RI tell you what I'll do
I'll let you have your valentine,
And have some supper too.
February the fourteenth.
From 2 to $50.
Margery Evans,
1870 Kensington Street.
II the invitations are written on plain
white note-paper. affix here and there a
tiny. red. heart-shaped ''sticker;" these
can be purchased. 100 in box, in any
store that handles stationery and office
supplies.
Before the guests arrive. place the
piano across a corner. and have a child $
fishing rod and tackle in readiness-a
stick, cord and bent pin will suffice;
then. as soon as all OF the children are
assembled. have them take turns casting
the line into the pond back OF the piano.
As each child tries his luck an older
person strikes chord on the keys-in
the bass clef for the boys and the treble
for the girls-this is TO ''call the fish"
the children are told; but IL Is really a
signal for the person hidden behind the
piano, that he may know whether a boy
or a girl has the line. Whenever the
hook descends. this person puts It
through a bit Of folded paper. gives the
line a jerk. and the fish Is drawn forth.
When each has had his turn. the fisher
men are asked TO open their catch" and
to do whatever the fishes tell them
Each bit OF paper instructs its possessor
to look in certain place; going there
he finds a slip which sends HIM 10 an
other part Of the house, and so on, until
he finally runs down his quarry. For
example. the fish may say. Go TO the
library and look between pages 90 and 81
OF volume OF the Encyclopedia Britain
