nal Order of Eagles, which Is to be

from the local lodge and business
men of Omaha met Wednesday noon

Washington Social at Travis Home I
Complete Success
The Martha Washington event at
the home of Judge and Mrs. H. D.
Travis last night was an unqualified
success. The ladles who promulgat
ed the affair are to be congratulated
that the cold nor the snow could keep
away the crowds. Over a hundred
people were present and the pleasure
experienced was ample reward for all
Inconvenience. The Travis home
never looked better; it was decorated
with flags, pictures and bunting
throughout. As one entered the hall
he found himself in the midst of a
patriotic effusion of red, white and
blue colors. Bunting was drawn over
the bannisters leading to the second
floor. Into these regions the guests
were escorted for the laying aside of
their wraps and the last final touch
to their elaborate costumes. Gen.
George Washington and Mrs. Wash
ington, In the persons of Rev. J. H.
Salsbury and Mrs. J. N. Wise, head
ed the receiving line, In which was
found such distinguished characters
as Lady Baltimore (Mrs. L. A.
Moore), Sallle Fairfax (Miss Verna
Cole), Mrs. Governor Peter Stuyve
sant (Miss Alice Eaton), Janice
Meredith (Miss Anna Helsel), and a
Page of the Provincial Congress
(Master Russel Salsbury), also a
mlnature Untie Sam (Master Clem
ent Chapman). These had position
In the library, where again the hand
of the artist was to be seen dis
played in the decorations. Flags
were to be seen everywhere, draped
along the picture moulding and fes
tooning the bookcases. At the west
end of the room hung two large pic
tures of General Washington and his
wife. These were gracefully mantled
In the colors. Into the midst of this
work of art and this distinguished
line of notables the guests were
ushered by a colonial dame (Mrs.
J. W. Gamble), who introduced each
In turn and were received with the
deep bows of courtesy of that period.
The guests then gathered within
the parlor, where the national em
blem hung about the piano, and here
was rendered a musical and elocu
tionary program of rare merit. Piano
solos by Miss Emma Cummins, Miss
Marie Douglas, .Miss Johnson, Charles
Hopping, Waldimar Soennlchsen; vo
cal solos by Prof. W. G. Brooks and
Mr. H. S. Austin; recitations by
Misses Marie Douglas and Mildred
Cummins and Master Joe Eaton, al
so a reading by Mrs. J. N. Wise. A
male Quartet consisting of Messrs
ilen Scott, Clarence Staats, George
Falter and Claude Stivers sang two
eautiful. numbers. The program
was brought to a close by a rendi
tion of "The Star Spangled Banner"
ed by General Washington and
Martha, while Lady Baltimore pre-
ided nt the piano.
At the close of this pleasing tea-
urn the guests were led by Install
ments into tho dining room, where
bunting In prodigal profusion had
been employed In making the room
an appetizing place. It was caught
diagonally across the celling and fas
tened at the center of the room. It
was festooned at the top of the walls.
The napkins told of George's first
temptation by the suggestion of
cherries, and the hatchet which was
pinned on every guest as they passed
from the room completed tho tale.
Mrs. George Washington and Gen
eral Washington's mother (Mrs. Ag
nes Chapman) presided at the table
ond poured the coffee. An elegant
two-course luncheon was served by
the ladles and the evening was voted
a decided success in every particular.
The decorations were the worW of
Mrs. Travis and her visiting friend
Mrs. James Mitchell of Omaha. For
an Ideal evenlpg this writer recom
mends the Travis home, for ns had
been prophesied, It Is Impossible to
tax their hospitality. There were
many beautiful costumes present,
representing different periods, but to
attempt to mention them separately
would be an endless task, and then
they must be seen to be appreciated

Washington returned to Trenton on
the Ice. Contributed.
