Society Girls VIII
Giue Dance May4
For FLHinq Cadets

A number of our young girls are
planning delightful little dance to
be given Saturday evening, May 4, at
Harte hall. The honor guests are to
be Is OF the flying cadets from Fort
Omaha. These young women have
been entertained by the student off,
GERS at numbers Of little weekend
affairs, SO the girls will reciprocate
with this dance.
Mrs. c. A. Mallory, who has done
so much for the men at the fort,
will be one Of the patronesses at the
affair. Mrs. Mallory's home is open
to the boys at any time and many are
the little informal dances and cozy
Sunday night suppers that have been
given at the home OF this charming
matron. So many of the boys at the
forts are lonely for a little touch OF
home and under this hospitable roof
they forget such dull things as bal
looms and parachutes.
Some of the girls who will be host
esses at the May-time dance include,
Misses Bess Hcaton, Lucy Updike,
Helen Weeks, Ethel Magney, Eliza
beth Perrigo, Pleasant Holyoke,
Clarice Brown, Alice Stone, Janet
Lees and Helen Pogue.

Dean Hancock, who came from Fort
Des Moines, where he is chaplain OF
the Nebraska base hospital, read the
marriage lines.
Miss Dorothy Hall, in her pale
green crepe gown with large maline
! hat 10 match, was a charming brides
maid and her shower bouquet OF
brides roses made lovely bit OF
color against her gown.
The bride entered on the arm OF
her brother, Lieutenant Ware Hall,
who gave her away, and such a pretty
bride she was, too, in her white silk
gown heavily embroidered and made
on tailored lines. A large picture hat
of white maline, trimmed with white
ostrich tips, was born and she carried
shower bouquet of brides roses
and lilies.
The bridegroom was unattended, as
the best man, fellow officer of Cap
tain Aycrigg's, found it impossible to
come.
Following the ceremony wedding
breakfast was served and the white
! Easter lilies were blended with the
lavender and white sweet peas in the
dining room. Above the table was
suspended a huge shower bouquet of
the fragrant blossoms, the petals fall
ing at intervals on the merry we'd
ding guests. -,
Owing to the frail health of the
brides mother the wedding arrange
ments were very simple and no formal
reception was held. This evening
Captain and Mrs. Aycrigg leave for
Camp Deyans, Mass, where he is sta
toned.
Mr.. and Mrs. William A. Aycrigg
Of Stamford, Conn, who came from

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Writing to Soldiers.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am IS. For the last few months !
have been corresponding with a soldier
whom I do not know. These letters are
interesting and not at all personal. My
parents, however, do not wish me to write
to him, but l think that by writing ii Is at
least keeping up one soldiers spirits. What
can you suggestF PATRIOTIC.
I understand both your point of view
and that OF your parents. Naturally,
they do not want their daughter to write
to man Of whom she knows absolutely
nothing. They fear romantic attach
ment. possible danger, undesirable friend
ship. You, on the other hand, long to dc
something to help a boy In the uniform
Of his country, and you idealize him be-
cause he wears that uniform. Now, II you
can keep your letters impersonal, think
It would be we'll not to give q solder
the hurt of breaking off a correspondence
once begun. Suppose you settle the aues-
tion this way: Show your letters to your
parents, and show his also, even as you
would do II you were writing to your
brother. Then. II you still enjoy the cor
respondence under their guidance. 1t will
be safe to go on.

Carp for the Mill Ponds

Hundreds of /. ponds are stocked
with fish by millers, affording cheap
and convenient food supply. German
carp are suggested as a suitable fish
tor this purpose by correspondent
81 the American Miller. who says that
hey thrive in any mill pond, and
make a palatable food when properly
d6essed.
Most fish lave tender skins, and
can be cooked after scaling. The
carp, however, has a very tough skin,
which has done more than anything
Else to give him a bad reputation as
, food fish. The carp should be
skinned before cooking.
