D. A. r. Social

One of the leading social events of the
winter was the dinner and costume par
ty rendered the Captain Jedediah Hyde
Chapter, D. A. R. and their guests, by
Mrs. Fred E. Wheeler on Wednesday
evening, Feb. IA, at her home on Bridge
street.
Covers were laid for twenty. The dec
orations of the rooms and tables were in
keeping with the day, tiny heart shaped
valentines being used as place cards and
red and white carnations forming the
centerpiece, while the red and white color
scheme was carried out as far as possible
in theviands themselves.
At the close of dinner, the company re-
paired to the living rooms, where an en-
joyable half hour was spent in examn-
ing the quaint costumes and listening to
a short history of each. The gowns were
all types OF bygone days. some of them
being over hundred years old. Several
distinct periods of fashion were repre-
sented, such as the Colonial, the Puritan,
the Dolly Madison. ETC., all the way
down to about 1860. Wedding dresses
were much in evidence. The costuming
was particularly we'll carried out in all
the details of hair dressing and accesso-
ries and this added greatly to the inter
est and to the realism of an old fashioned
party.
Singing and dancing, the old time
songs and dances being the order, fur
nished entertainment for the remainder
of the evening.

The Suffrage Study Club

The Suffrage Study Club held its regu-
lar meeting for the month on Wednesday
evening, Feb. Z. with the largest attend
ance there has been at any time.
The meeting was called to order by the
President, Mrs. Harriet Ide, and reports
given by the secretary and treasurer.
Mrs Ide gave brief report of the prog
ress of the Suffrage Bill now before the
Vermont Legislature. Mrs. Maria Tink-
er was called upon and displayed large
map OF the United States, on which she
marked the states now having Woman's
Suffrage with slips of white paper, each
slip bearing the date OF the adoption of
the measure in that state. This was very
helpful in fixing in the minds OF the class
the states in which the women alread =
have the vote.
Mrs Ide then asked for any bits
news in regard to the Suffrage NOV
ment, and several interesting items we
thus brought out-among them the fac
that the legislature of North Dako
have very recently passed a Suffrage b
and that active ard promising ca
paigns are being carried on in the legis
lures of Maine and Texas. Mrs. Sld
ton, chairman of the membership CO
mittee, stated that twelve new memb
DAD been added to the Study Club.
Directly following this, Mrs Ide
signed her chair to Miss Margaret N
Donald, who had charge Of the progr
for the evening. She had chosen
topic What Women Have Done
nearly every one present took part IN
discussion, telling what the women b
done throughout the ages to entitle t
to the vote, and taking up especi
what they have accomplished along
cational political and professional
and woman's part in war. Much
thusiasm was manifested and mos
structive meeting it proved.
The Club adjourned to meet again
first Wednesday evening in March
which time the program will be u
the direction of Miss Louise SlOcUm.
Regular meeting of the w. X. I.
Monday evening at 7:3O at the G. A

Our Relations with AussrI.

THE renewal OF the Italian offensive on
the Isonzo front has again raised the
question OF American relationship with Aus
tria. We are not at war with that country.
No formal declaration of hostility has ever
been made by this government or that. We
have severed diplomatic relations with tho
dual empire and, therefore, have no direct
communication with Vienna, but nomina ally
we are at peace with Germany's chief ally.
All the while. however. we are giving as
sistance to Austrfa's enemies. We are seek
ing every means Of reinforcing Russia. We
are supplying and munitioning Italy. We
have dispatched commissions to Roumania.
Why one or the other government does not
declare the existence OF q state of war be-
tween the United States and Austria, the
average man cannot understand. Why either
should wish to occupy tho equivocal posi-
ton OF armed enmity toward the other while
maintaining the attitude Of peace, is difficult
to figure out. On Austria's side there may
be one good reason for this manifest double
dealing. She has great feet Of merchant
ships In American harbors. These she Is
selling to advantage as fast as purchasers ap-
pear. They are not subject to confiscatfon
by the United States In the absence of
declaration Of war. Moreover, she has many
thousands OF subjects in this country They
are not subject to internment, except for
specific activity. Above and beyond all this,
Austria may feel that as long as she does
not go to war with the United States. she
is in position to act In the interest OF peace.
And she has been exercising her opportunity
In that direction. Her part in the papal pro-
posals is now known to all the world. She
has made repeated overtures, evidently de-
signed to reach Washington. All OF which
she is permitted to do until she becomes a
belligerent enemy of the United States.
1t seems impossible however, looking at
it from the standpoint Of the United States,
that we can much longer look upon Austria
as neutral when she Is. in fact, fighting
us just as grimly as we are fighting her. Our
cause is the cause OF her enemies, and her
cause Is that OF our enemies. History's
record would be kept little straighter If
formal declaration were made. Italy found
this out when. after years campaigning
against Austria. she declared war upon Ger
many.
