SOCIALSALAD PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR SUNDAY’S CALL, In “Song* of War and Peace” Sam Waller Fob* baa put lb* themes of thia turbulent year into moat delight fnl verse. In bi* “Song of the Gan non,” "War," “Farragut to Dewey,” and “The Awakening of Uncle Bam.” There is the given force of short •trik ing words in keeping with tbe subject. In tbe process of peace, Mr Foss also keeps up with tbe time*, interpreting the maneuvres of the great machines, putting intn rhyme tbe simple, sturdy work of the farmer and the pioneer. A vien of humor pky* through hi* lines too. There is always more than the jingle of-verse in Mr. Foes' verer, for every couplet contain* a thought. “Under Dewey at Manila,” by Edward Btralemyer, is a new kind of naval sto ry for boys The sea stories-tbal have so charmed young and old, are obso lete, and Mr. Btratmeyer is tbe first to find what a boy would find on a battle ship of today. This ia combined with a vivid and accurate description of tbe memorable contest at Gavite, and a rich store of historical and geographi cal information skillfully presented. The chapter telling the story of Admi ral Dewey's life is of special interest. The hero, while full of life and vigor, which render him abundantly able to take care of himself in his perilous ad ventures, is manly, true, and. clean throughout, rendering the book whole some as well as decidedly thrilling. “Pauline Wyman,” by Hopbie May, is the tale of a bright, vivacious New England girl, whose strong and beau tiful character is developed by her en viionment of rugged bill country. How she overcomes unfavorable sur roundings, her experience in teaching school, the interesting circumstances in a young girl’s life, are all told with that same originality and freshness which have drawn a multitude of yonng people the author’s previous works. "Sophie May” writes with a remarkable insight into the thought and life of girls, and shows an un affected sympathy in tbe perplexities, aspirations and disappointments of their experience. “The Boys with Old Hickory,” by Everett T. Tomlinson, is a story of adventures of the war of 1812. The author, like Oliver Oplie, learned by nature as a teacher, and be knows well bow to arouse and main tain their interest while be depicts historical events on sea and land, and gives them correct views of the same The events presented are stirring enough to interest any boy, and tbe reading of the book can hardly fail to arouse a true spirit of patriotism, as well as inspire him to desire further historic knowledge. ♦ » * Mrs. Millon D.

Blakely will en tertain tbe Social Circle next Wednes day afternoon from 4to 6 o’clock at her home on North Hill St. a ♦ » A pleasing and quite a new fad in house decoration converts the home as nearly as possible into reproduc+faj of natural scenery. A careful disposi tion of mirrors »nd clever arrangement of potted plants transforms a room in to a remarkable similitude of a lake with luxuriant vegetation lining its shores. Instead of an inlaid table or especially inviting tete-astete a center piece, there may be a massing of blocks of wood, with some of the nat ural bark remaining, or even some huge stones brought back from a mono tain jaunt, with some conven ient moss thrown over it, some tall plants jutting from among them, and this group repeated io two cr three spots io the room gives color to th* illusion of a "mountain room." • * • One of tbe most delightful as well as prettiest entertainments, of this week wt a the luncheon with which Mrs. Lee C.
