MRS, HENDEE

When Royalton, Vt., was burned by the Indians in 1776, Mrs. Roger Hen dee, native of that place, gave proof of remarkable courage. The attack by the Indians was sudden, and her husband being absent, and she being in the field, the Indians seized her children and carried them off. When Mrs. Hendee learned what had hap pened, she immediately set out for the camp of the Indians, and despite threats of death, she persevered in her applications for the release of her children, until the Indians fin ally granted her request. After talk ing her little ones to safety, she re- turned to the Indian camp and in- duced the chiefs to release all other children that had been carried off The Indians were so struck with her bravery, that one of them offered to carry her back to her people across stream. She accepted the offer, and returned amid the rejoicing of he1 neighbors.

ETIQUETTE

Having dined with a friend a din- ner call should be made within the next week.
 Mary: It seldom happens that a woman has to call upon a man whom she does not know at his house; but sometimes it is necessary, in which case she should always be accompan- jed by another woman, or by her hus- band, her father, or her brother. In no circumstances may she call at a bachelor apartment or a studio with out such escort; and no woman may properly call at club, even to see her own husband.
 Mother: It is not correct for you to teach your little daughter to offer her hand or a g. kiss to ladies or gem tlemen to whom you introduce her. Such an offer should come from the grownup, and considerate people will not insist upon kissing children. The children don't like it any better than their elders do.

Diary of a Fashion Model
She Learns How the Bridal Veil Should Be Arranged
 for Differ eEf Types
By GRACE THORNCLIFFE

They came for her wedding gown, the girl and her mother. Julie and I thought she was the prettiest, dain- t1est, fairy-like creature we had ever seen outside our dreams. Madame said that she was Diana Lynn-Spen- cer, an English girl, whose wedding to lieutenant in the American army Is to be next Thursday
 After Madame had submitted sketches for the bridal gown and had suggested that a trainless model of satin, tulle and lace would be just the thing for Miss Lynn-Spencer, they came to the question of bridal veils The mother wanted the bride to wear a veil of real lace, but Madame | thought 1t was entirely too heavy for l so small a person as her daughter. The small person. herself agreed with Madame, and insisted upon hav- ing veil of tulle.
 | Made told me to bring her large piece of the mist-like material, some silver gauge ribbon, small white flow CTS and pleated frill of tulle. Then she proceeded to show Miss Lynn 1 Spencer and her mother several ori- ginal ways of draping the bridal veil
 At first Madame draped the tulle low over the brow, drawing it back so that it fell in long graceful folds over the shoulders and down tht oack, much like nuns veil. Mis-. Lynn-Spencer liked the arrangement but told Madame that it is the GUS tom in their family for brides tc l unfastening the tulle, Madame rear. ranged it as she desired.
 She drew the filny cloud over the head and face of the pretty Eng fish girl until it formed a short vel which extended halfway to the waist line in the centre front and gradually grew longer toward the back, where 1t reached the hem of her frock. Ther she fastened 8 wreath of silver gauzt ribbon with picot edges and tiny all white daisies, which she arranged ont after the other across the front O. the head to hold the folds of the tuIle close to the head, putting the wreatl well down over the brow. The end: of the ribbon were tied in small bow. at the sides.
 Miss Lynn-Spencer thought the ar. rangement of tAe veil very attrac. tive, but her mother asked Madame If she didn't think her daughter would look well in veil that was short all around.
 Madame answered, Decidedly not l-that veil of this type would make Miss Lynn-spencer. appear even more d1minutive than she was, and ther said:
 II "A petite girl requires long, sweep ing lines to her veil that she ma, look graceful when she walks. While the front of the veil may be reason.

The Y. W. c. A. vesper service to be held at 263 Golden Hill street at 4 o'clock on Sunday afternoon will be combined with a meeting of women
 called by the Laymen's Missionary Movement. H. L. Laf1ance of New York, secretary of the Laymen's Mis- sionary Movement, will speak of plans to hold a series of meetings for lay men in Bridgeport in May and will enlist the cooperation of women in arranging simultaneous meetings for women. MT. Lafance was for IS years a missionary in India and has had intimate knowledge of conditions in the Orient as well as of all forms of Christian work in this country. Rev. Herbert Brown. pastor of Olivet
 church, will also be a speaker at this
 meeting. He will take as his topic
 Ready" Miss Margaret Hughes will be the soloist. Members of the Y. w.
 c. A. Sept Lois club will act as ush- CTS and hostesses for the afternoon. All women cordially invited.
 Miss Margaret Slattery, who has been secured to speak at the Women's s | mass meeting at Poli theatre next week Sunday afternoon, is much in demand as a speaker both in this country and in Canada. The Bridge port Y. W. c. A. has tried for sev- eral years to arrange for her to come | to Bridgeport, but as her engage
 ments are usually made two years in | advance, it has been difficult to find a date that could prove absolutely satis- factory. Miss Slattery is well known as an educator, a Sunday school worker, an author and as a lecturer. After teaching in the grammar grades
 in the city schools, she became a
 model teacher, then supervisor and
 later supervising principal of the l School for Practical Arts in the State l Normal school at Fitchburg, Mass.

VEGETABLE STOCK

Another economy for war time comes from a careful housekeeper. sghen vegetables are boiled for din- ner she uses a. little more water than ordinarily and saves it by straining it off through a colander before dish- ing up the vegetables. This very good soup stock of purely vegetable origin she seasons hastily with onion brown ed in butter, with croutons and grat- ed cheese or with the scrapings from a can of spaghetti-tomato served at luncheon.

ably short, the back must be quite long,"
 In the second arrangement of the veil Madame let the tulle hang be- low the waist in drawing more of the fitness forward. In addition to the wreath of orange blossoms with which she confined the fulness close to the head she introduced halo" of pleated tu1le, which stood up crisp ly like a crown. This was even more becoming to Miss Lynn-Spencer than the first arrangement, and she re- quested Madame to have her veil made exactly like it.
 'T shall have picot edge of silver added to the edge of the fril of tuIle, which will make it much pret- tier. You can tell the florist to use both silver gauge and white ribbon

Uprising Brightens Hope of Ger
many's Early Defeat. Bolshevi-
kists Active.
Washington, Feb. l9.-Reports
that Poland is in a state of revolt
against the slicing up Of the country
for Urkaine, gave diplomatic circles
q distinctively optimistic mood yes
terday.
With the Bolsheviki threatening to
cut hundreds of Germans to death
Unless the German troops are with
'.cwn, and Austria giving notice to
C.=!@.any that her troops must not be
.:sed to invade Russia, the whole
situation on the Eastern front is be-
coming menacingly acute for Ger
many.
Germany, it is pointed out, is
now faced by double dilemma. IN
the first place, she VIII not be able
to withdraw her forces from TINS
front in sufficient numbers to make
her anticipated drive ON the Italian
front effective against the enormous
re-enforcements placed at the dispo-
sal of Italy by the allies. Moreover
unofficial advices say, there are IN
djcations that the Bolshevik doctrines
are being very deeply sown in the
Teuton armies. This situation the
Germans had feared in the event that
their troops were withdrawn from the
Eastern front, for then there would
have been no barrier to the flood OF
Socialistic and anti-militaristic prop
uganda from within Russia. Poland's
military arm is not to be discounted
and Germany must take every con-
sideration Of this force, while at the
same time the Bolshevik attitude Is
rot at all completely a closed book
toward the Polish revolution.

DEATHS BY GLASS DENIED.
Reports Persist Many Poisoning
Cases at Naval Base.

Reports Persist Many Poisoning
Cases at Naval Base.
Norfolk, Va, Feb. 19.-Despite Of
fetal denial there were persistant
reports in circulation last night that
several hundred men at the naval
base were poisoned by ground glass
found in soup and fruit pies. Several
men died from the poison, according
to these reports.
One man fell dead while on his way
to the base hospital, it is reported,
and ambulances were kept busy ali
of Sunday transporting sick men to
hospitals at the base.
The poison story was denied by
Capt. Dayton, commanding the base
but it was learned from another
source that "about 100 men" had been
made i'll from eating canned cornea
beef. No deaths had resulted from
the meat, it was stated, ana all OIL
the men would probably recover.
1t was learned from men at the
