The Gazette is in receipt of the fol.
lowing letter from S. j. Race of Min
neapolis.
Dear Mrs. Wilson:
I noticed in a recent number of the
Redwood Falls Gazette a write up OF
surprise party on Mr.. and Mrs. H
N. Bell temporarily at the home OF
Mr.. A. B. Bell, 1910 Marshall Ave-, St
Paul, MINI. The said surprise party
took place on Saturday evening, Jan
Fl, 1922.
The success of this party and the
work was entirely assumed by S. J
Race, Flora Patterson Race and o. l.
Dornberg. There were no others
directly connected with the manage.
ment.
Your article omitted these names
plus that of Miss Kate Van Camp, one
of the Assistants of the evening
Credit should be given to those who
really assumed the trouble and ex.
pense and personal management OF
this surprise party.
We trust that corrections will be
made.
Yours sincerely,
S. J. Race.

ing pilgrimage that one may hope to enjoy
in many a day; and the season that Bryant
loved best when "the horse chestnuts are
just casting their blossoms and the locust
trees make the whole outlook a wilderness
of bloom" is the best time for visit. Loving
bands have preserved the plants and shrubs
collected by the beloved poet. and His gar
den is sweet and fragrant like his memory"
In his youth "the grand old man of Amer
lean literature" was a great source Of worry
to Bryant, Sr. Unlike Goldsmith's school
master, the anxiety for whom was that so
small head could carry all he knew" young
Williams head was so large it troubled his
father to think where the wisdom to fill it
was to come from; so the poor lad who came
to be Americas foremost nature poet was
taken every morning to a spring and i'm
mersed in cold water in the hope that it
would reduce the abnormal size OF his head

by the occupants OF the present house, was

expressed in the rebuilding. where every

so the devoted women OF the village formed
a sort of endless chain, passing the books
one by one along the line, until every one
was saved The writer had the privilege OF
seeing an autographed volume of Ralph
Waldo Emerson gift to Bryant that was
rescued that way.
Much of Bryant's New York has passed
away. Even the editorial rooms OF the
Evening Post, where for many years he sat
and complained that he was
Forced to drudge for the dregs of men

knew them. But his Roslyn is as beautiful

and long tracts Of woodland from the hill

on July 16, 1855. Bryant wrote a letter to
terday to-day: Il send a memorandum
of yours which was found on the library
table at Roslyn. You must have missed
the receipt for beer at a time when nothing
fermented, of liquid kind I mean. can be
bought or sold. We must go back to what

stopped by law and we were obliged to 20

the planting Of large apple orchards again

mill with the return Of autumnal frosts
But In the meantime bushels of currants
must be squeezed and the beer tub-shall

Trained to Walk Erect
With Rhythmic Swing

The hands must be small, the fingers
long and slender, the wrist round and
white. 1t is essential that the voice be
soft. The carriage of the Annamese women
is most graceful. Young girls are taught
from their early teens-and earlier-to
practice walking with the head back and
the chest out-not with stiffness, but with
naturalness that is both acquired by
practice and inherited from their graceful
mothers. And as they walk they swing
their arms with rhythmic motion that

What a Poet of AMMAN
Calls Feminine Beauty

A celebrated Annamese poet says that
the size of the waist must be neither too
large nor too small, for in either case
there will be a lack of symmetry. The
blackest and the longest hair is the most
beautiful. The face should be long oval
and must have complete regularity Of
feature (The Chinese, by the way prefer
the round faced women.)
"The eyes of my Beloved" he says, "are
as brilliant as those of the eagle her eye
lashes, with beautiful fine curves spring
forth like silkworms. Her heel is as red
as ink"

the occupants are unbelievable. Even the
favored one for the month, the week or
the day never relaxes for one moment her
powers of fascination-she must please
the royal master at all hazards.
The costumes are not left to chance.
Ancient DEGREES regulate the color of the
silks and the texture of the brocades.
There is room, however, for individual
taste and ingenuity. AS this collection of

IT'S Imperial Majesty Khai Dinh,
II Emperor of AMMAN and the holder
of the Throne of the Thousand Ele-
plants, has announced that he will soon
take his son, Vinh Terh, to Europe to put
him in school. He has, according to re-
ports from his capital, expressed hope
that it may be possible for the little Prince

strengthened and the blood of Annam's

His Majesty has indicated, gossip says,
that the Prince may even be introduced to
America during his school days. Perhaps
it may be an American girl the little yellow

a suite of more than 100 courtiers and

Asian rulings for the running from State
to State and marrying at every crossroad,"
as the critical Mrs. Margot Asquith has
recently put it?
Women in AMMAN never eat with their
husbands, even on their wedding journey.
But their property rights are scrupulously
guarded. There are to-day some of the
old withered ladies of former splendor in
the court of former holder of the empty
seat of state who are still cared for at the
public expense, still living in the little
houses provided for them up in the groves
where their husbands lie in state in stone
mausoleums. For first wife mourning is
worn for three years and for a second one

are looked after with scrupulous care

Real Question of Etiquette
About Reception of Wives
But what the Westerners-the English,
the French and the Americans-will really
desire to see and to know is not so much
about his Majesty's son and his retinue as
about his own Imperial Person; not so
much about his Elephants, as about his
wives.
How shall they be received? Under what
system of etiquette shall they be enter
tanned?
In their own country Princesses call
upon one another but never entertain
male caller. Will this be the rule enjoined
upon the hosts and hostesses under whose
roofs these unusual, beautiful strangers
are to be lodged?

Mayor Hylan receive them with his high

The Republican and Independent
press are beginning to make known

to Senator McCumber. Here are some
brief extracts;
New York Herald (Rep, lit rears

Fifteen months ago the farmer wanted

Chicago News Qnd.)-Too many
of the changes are in the direction of
the old Aldrich tariff of painful
memory, and too few of the rates have
been revised downward. With Amer

favorable trade balance vanishing, ex-
