That Mason and Dixon Limo

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledosr!
Sir-Is kentucky north or south OF the
Mason and Dixon line?
SAMUEL r. CLARKE.
Philadelphia. July Q. 1921.
The Mason and Dixon line originally
marked the boundary between Maryland and
Pennsylvania. but before the Civil War was
extended theoretically for the purpose OF in
Guiding the States loyal to the Union. On
that basis Kentucky was south of tho Mason
and Dixon line. Although 1t endeavored to
remain neutral occupying the paradoxical
position Of having been admitted to the
Confederacy> on the vote of an irregularly
called group Of legisla tors. yet II furnished
moro than twico as many troops in sup
port OF the Federal cause as IL did for the
Confederacy.

what Is the cause Of hay fever.
GEORGE r. SMALL.
Philadelphia. July Q. 1921.
Hay fever is believed to bo the result OK
an irritation Of the membranes of the throat
and nose. often from the floating pollen
from the goldenrod and ragweed. Mountain-
Gus districts seem TO be entirely free from
the disease. The most celebrated place for
hay fever victims to find relief Is Bethlehem,

gin TO collect in August. Frost puts an end
TO the trouble.

Some Joy I've lost with thee;
And stil I wish that hour was near,
When friends and foes forgiven.
The palms, tho ills we've wept through
May turn to smiles in heaven.

the work, and about $50 willing
young girls to aid in the sale of the

sored by the American Legion,

National Memorial flower, and with

all public spirited individuals, large

service men temporarily or perman-
entity confined in hospitals, whether

American Legion.

means for the disposition of their

Bluffs this money will be used to
purchase flowers, candy, tobacco,
chocolate, magazines and other
treats, for any and all world-war
soldiers who have the misfortune to
be physically disabled.

The Home

Many young house furnishers face
the problem of seeking artistic fur
nlture at moderate prices. In one
four-piece suite the chairs are of the
barrel type, roomy and comfortable.
One is rocking chair, the other is a
large arm chair The settee is like
wise of the barrel type.
The table is round, about So inches
in diameter 1t is large enough to
hold tea flxings or lamp or ones
favorite magazines. The furniture
comes in choice of hnishings. A
very attractive finish is black enamel,
alternating with orange. The wood
is about the same as gas piping, bent
to form the chair. One pipe" is paint
ed the one color, the other the other.
The seats are cushioned with a Gre
tonne showing black, orange and
blue. The furniture may also be had
in plain white or cream enamel.
Walls painted plain neutral gray,
with woodwork of either white or
gray and hangings Of black and white
cretonne would form an appropriate
background for the black and orange
suite.
For dining room furniture there
are painted woods. A large sized
drop-leaf table with four chairs hn-
ished in soft gray with artistic
touches of orange form one set. The
chairs are the old Dutch type ladder
back chairs and the table ends are
carved to a curve harmonizing with
the quaint curve of the "rungs" in
the ladder of the chairs.
For the dark room of the house
there is charming breakfast set
of canary yellow with a stencilled-
on wicked-looking little dragon of
silver and blue. This suite con-
sists OF table, which, with its drop
leaves raised, could easily accom-
modate eight. Besides the table,
there are four chairs and quite the
most exact replica OF the old Dutch
sideboard, with its plate rail, that I
have seen outside OF the exclusive
antique shops.
Neat, well-made, white enameled
iron bedsteads, single, size, are ideal
as well as inexpensive. For the bed
room a reed chair we'll made, in
baronial design, roomy,- restful yet
small enough to fit into the tiny
apartment bedroom, may be had
with gay cretonne on the seat and
back cushion.
Omaha daily bee., 1921-05-22

An honor has been conferred upon
an Omaha girl. Miss Abba Bowen,
instructor in French at Smith college,
who has received fellowship for
study abroad.
Twelve fellowships in the United
States were offered by a Belgian
educational foundation fund, one of
which went to Smith college, and
through that institution, to Miss
Bowen. She will report in Belgium,
October |, at the university of her
choice in that country.
She will sail in August for Europe
but in the meantime will visit in Om-
aha, returning here at the close of her
years work in the east.
The fellowship is very desirable
one. offering not only the student
privileges, but extensive opportuni-
ties for travel, including theaters and
musical advantages. Miss Bowen
has previously studied in Germany.
She is graduate of Central High
school and had charge Of the modern
language department at Peru before
going east.
Miss Bowen is daughter of Mrs.
William R. Bowen of this city and
sister of Miss Lila Bowen.
