Only Two
AT Homes
On Calendar
Hull Reception Is
Not Open House;
Invitations Issued

One by one, the cabinet hostesses
have decided not to hold their OFF,
cial at homes announced earlier in
the season for the last Wednesday
in January. Now only two cabinet
at homes remain on the calendar
for Wednesday. Mrs. Robert H.
jackson. wife Of the Attorney Cen
eral, will receive IN her apartment
at Wardman Park Hotel from until
o'clock, and during the same hours
Mrs. Harold Ickes, wife of the Sec
retary Of the Interior, will hold her
reception at Head Waters Farm,
her country place, near Olney, Md.
just before the opening of the
official season the cabinet hostesses
met with Mrs. Roosevelt to arrange
the schedule for their official reeep-
ton days. 1t was decided then that
each hostess would be at home twice
during the winter, dividing into
groups to receive on the first Sed-
nesday in January and then at the
windup for all the cabinet ladies
to receive on the same day. But
now for various reasons the Official
hostesses-with the exception OF
Mrs. Ickes and Mrs. jackson, have
been obliged to change the order
OF events. Incidently, Mrs Jackson
was not in on the original plans,
this being her first reception in her
new role as a cabinet hostess.
There will be no other at homes

Overlay Glass Process
Was Used by Romans

Overlay or cased glass was a
product OF the Nineteenth century.
But although different in technique
1t stemmed back, artistically at
least, to the colorful enameled glass
of the Romans which they first fash
Toned some 1000 years ago. This
process the Arabs later perfected
and the Syrian glass of Damascus
and Aleppo presently found its way
F. TO Europe, where Venetian and later
Bohemian glassmakerS also learned
the process. BY the Fifteenth and
Sixteenth centuries the latter were
taShlonlng such elaborate and beau
tItul pieces as the ReichSadlerhum-
pen. large beaker enameled with
the double-headed eagle of the Holy
Roman empire and the coats OF
arms of its dependencies.
Glass enameling, however, in
volved not only the use of many
colors but several processes of exc
cutlon, writes Richmond Huntley in
American Collector. So by 1920 the
BohemianS found a relatively simple
way to produce a decorative and
pleasing effect by substituting 4 sin
gle color for the many The proc
ess was quite different. But briefly,
the steps in its making we're as FOL-
lows: Over clear or colored glass
contrasting shell was applied while
the whole was white hot. Then the
glass was annealed, after which it
went through grinding and polish
ing process whereby a pattern was
cut through the outer she'll, thus re-
veallng the contrasting color be-
meath. Ruby red, blue. green,
canary and sometimes clear with
opaque overlay were used.

Moonlight Lures Deer

Wlldllfe cenSuSeS are interesting
details in the life of rangers of the
National Park service and often en-
phaslZe some trait in animal psy-
chology that indicates the acuteneSs
OF instinct and that should be studied
by hunters. Few deer. for example.
are visible under natural conditions
by day, IN comparison TO those that
emerge about sunset from their we'll
protected haunts deep in the cover.
At Zion and Bryce Canyon National
parks. Utah, the deer count recently
completed was based upon the num-
bers seen after SIX p. m. Moon
light nights also bring the shy crea-
lures out to Craze. Deer have been
observed as late as one q. m. feed
ing along the highways. In fact, il
IS because of this known habit of the
deer that automobiliSts are urged tn
drive slowly at night in such areas.
Blinded by the headlights, many a
proud antlered head has been
brought low.

Arbitrary Date Line

The International Date Line is an
irregular lire which is drawn sor,e-
what arbitrarily on the map of the
Pacific ocean, near the 10th merid-
ian of longitude. This line marks
the place where navigators change
their date on the tranS-Pacifc voy-
age. The line is drawn on the map
in a general nOrth-and-south direc-
ton. separating the islands of the
Pacific ocean in such a manner that
all those in the east carry the same
date as the United States. and those
in the west the same date as Japan
and Australia
