Children's More letters and stories today for our Children's Page and we issue a cordial invitation to all boys and girls who would like to write letters, send in puzzles, stories, poems anything that would be of interest to children, because this page belongs to children Some of you might have some ideas for a name If you do, send them in If we get enough names we'll have a contest, and let all of the youngsters vote. How about that? Would you like it? Now for our stories: Tropical Fish by JOHN FISHER Tropical fish have been my hobby for several years. Now I have many varieties.

One of my favorites is the Betta, the fighting fish of Siam. You can't have two male Bettas in the same aquarium because they will fight. Another interesting fish is the Pencil fish. This certain fish will swim at a 45 degree angle. Other fish I think ore interesting are small catfish from Brazil which are perfect scavengers.

The Neon Tetra, which are about the most beautiful fish in my aquarium, the Sclare, a very interesting fish with a strange shape, the Swordtails, Guppics and Zebras are but a few of my varieties. Besides I have some sea animals like Glass Shrimp, Snails and last but not least Henry, my Newt. This animal can stay under water like a fish. I think grown up people enjoy tropical fish as much as children. And here is a letter from one of our readers, and he tells us about his visit to the art exhibit-Dear Editor of the Children's Pafje.

I hear you are having a children's page in the Star. I think it is grand. I thought you would like to know about our trip to the art exhibit, all the fifth and sixth grades from Park school went with our teachers. We went in a school bus. I thought some of the pictures about landscapes and skyline were good.

But some of them I didn't understand. After we had seen the paintings, we went down stairs to the museum and looked at the ret-ices and animals of anciant days and at things people did long ago. We enjoyed our trip very much and our ride back to school. LYLE HALLIBAUGH IF THERE IS A SLACK today it is In the matter of space not in news We have a little of everything parties for a pop ular bride-to-be and, of course, news of potential home- comers A word or two about the school set and this and that OUR BRIDE, AS YOU may have guessed, is Miss Martha Ait-ken, whose marriage to John Taylor Greer of Nashua, N. will be an event of Saturday evening, April 8.

Me mentioned last week a few of the past week-end's so cial activities for Miss Aitken Including the coffee on Monday morning for which Mrs. Allen T. O'Connor was hostess BUT BEGINNING TODAY WE have a new series of courtesies for the bride-elect Today Mrs. Alfred DuTeau was hostess at a mother- shter luncheon at her home, complimenting Miss Ait ken.

W. ril 6 E. 11HEN Mr. and Mrs, Sterling Mutz sold their home and moved to a duplex at 1745 street, it was necessary to pack and store, among other things, their exceedingly fine collection of milk white glass, and their unusual collection of majolica ware. But in their present home are some fine old pieces the Biedermeier desk, shown in the picture today a chest of tiger maple, which we shall show you at a later date next week perhaps and a magnificent corner cupboard, also slated for a later appearance.

The Biedermeier piece, pictured, is a gentleman's desk. It is of exquisite curley maple and has the German dealer's name on the bark. The desk has its original brass, including key, and nothing has been added unless one desires to include the work holes in the wood. Every collector knows that Biedermeier furniture received its name from a comic strip character, "Papa Biedermeier," popular with the German press and its readers eurly in the Nineteenth century. Papa Biedermeier was a clumsy, doltish sort of fellow, and it is not i difficult to understand why some of the later Biedermeier pieces were given his name.

However the early Biedermeier, that made between 1820 and 1030, was considered the best. MEMIERS OF THE LOTOS CLVB. one ol the oldest study clubs lor wapien in Lincoln, at the March 16 meeting held at the home ol Miss Mariel Gere. Club, Organized Seventy Years Ago For "Intellectual And Social In 1884, at the urging of Mrs. Benton, wife of the university's first chancellor, the club members began studying French history and changed the name of the group to the History Circle.

It was in 1889 when the study of Egypt became so engrossing to the members that the present name, Lotos, was selected. Topics studied by the club in past years have included a variety ranging from histories of Greece and Spain, translations of stereopticon views of England and European continent, Sanskirt literature, Hope's "Prisoner of Zenda," and poetry such as McLaren's, "Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush." In present times, each of the twenty members serves as program chairman during the year and such subjects of current interest as low-cost housing, Y.W.C.A. handcraft and the new Spencer Tracy clinic for deaf children have been featured. Charter members of the club included Mrs. John L.

McCnn-nell, Mrs. L. C. Richards, Mrs. R.

O. Phillips, Mrs. Charles H. Hardy will return from Mexico City where she has been spending several weeks. SPEAKING OF HOMECOMERS Mr.

and Mrs. Robert Phillips, their daughter, Patsy, and son, Jimmy, are just home from southern trip Mrs. Phillips and the children left more than a month ago for Leonville, where the trio visited Mrs. Phillips's family They were joined there by Mrs. Phillips, and from Leonville the foursome of travelers went on to New Orleans for several days They also spent some time in Gulfport and Blioxi, and other interesting southern points.

HEARD THAT NEXT MONDAY or Tuesday will bring Mr. and Mrs. John T. McGreer home from Pompano Beach, where they have been va cationing since January. BEFORE WE DELVE into the school set, we want to tell you about a luncheon we found for Thursday Mrs.

Burton Whit-more has invited a guest eight-some for luncheon and an afternoon of bridge at her home. SPRING HOLIDAYS for those away at school, vary according to the school calendar, it seems We already have told you about Miss Doris Schimmel's arrival from Goucher college, Baltimore, but we didn't know until today that Miss Sandra Lotman, a freshman at Northwestern, also arrived home last Friday and leaves again on Sunday. WE CAN'T BE SURE WHETHER Wellesley college was con siderate enough to plan its Easter holiday in time for Miss Martha Aitken's wedding or whether the wedding was planned to fit in the Wellesley calendar All we know for sure is that Miss Mary Aitken, who is to be her sister's maid of honor, will arrive home on Sunday, March 2. Incidentally the bridegroom, John Taylor Greer, and his brother, who will be his best man, arrive on the same day AND DID YOU KNOW THAT both Mr. and Mrs.

Raymond Clifton L. Greer, parents of the bridegroom, are graduates of the University of Nebraska? Mr. Greer was graduated from the college ef engineering in th class of 1916, and Mrs. Greer, the former Bertha Drift-mier, is of the class of 1917. ARRIVING TODAY to be Tues- day-to-Thursday guests at the home of Mr.

The later Biedermeier pieces were lacking in taste and grace. In Germany, following th. Napoleonic wars, there was littl. wealth, and the Biedermeier phase of life and attitude of mind found expression in comfortable, homelike furnishing, fitting the requirements of th. German people.

Stewart, Mrs. I. S. P. Weeks, Mrs.

George Wing and Mrs. Henry E. Lewis. All wives of University of Nebraska chancellors have been members of the club with one exception. Reading through the minutes of the group during the years 1893 to the turn of the century reveals in minute detail the social life of Lincoln in those years.

An entry by the club secretary in 1895 states, "After a most delicious end dainty feast of strawberries, sandwiches, cake and tea the ladies bade their hostess and each other goodbye." Another Item reads, "At the close of the program, we were invited into the dining room where our hostess overstepped Lotos club rules in retard to refreshments most sumptuously." A Money Can Buy!" My dishes and glassware gleam without wpinq I The regular meeting of the Lotos club, probably the oldest organized study club for women in Lincoln, was held last Thurs day afternoon at the home of Miss Mariel Gere. Following a luncheon, Mrs. J. E. Kirshman, who was in charge of the program, introduced Mrs.

Eugene Gilmore who described for the members her experiences while living and traveling in India. Organized around 1880, when group of seventeen women, who had been meeting informally for three years for read ing and discussion, became fired with enthusiasm for "intellectual and social development" as a result of Lincoln's first "arts" exhibition sponsored by the ambitious-sounding Society of Decorative Art, the Lotos club was originally called the Avon club. The twice-monthly programs were devoted exclusively to the study of Shakespeare under the leadership of Prof. George E. Woodberry, an instructor of literature at the University of Nebraska who later became a member of Harvard university faculty.

HEAR THAT NUMEROUS LINCOLN people are planning to attend the antique show in Omaha next week The show, beginning at noon on Sunday and continuing through Wednesday, is sponsored by th. Omaha Kappa Kappa Gamma alumnae, and all of the proceeds go to a local charity. WE THINK "YOU MIGHT BE interested in knowing that Miss Susan Folsom, aged four, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

Wil-lard W. Folsom, is convalescing at Lincoln General hospital following art emergency appendectomy. We also think that Susan proved herself to be a woman of courage, because we know many older people who gave forth with considerable more out-from-under-anesthetic vehemence All little Susan had to say was 'Ouch! Darn it OUCH! Phooey." AROUND' no TOWN Mrs. Ida Finney was hostess last Friday to the members of the YANKEE HILL EXTENSION club with Mrs. L.

TOMORROW'S ARTIST MITCHELL JAMIESON Still comparatively young Mitchell Jamieson, whose work, "Port of Cherbourg," is an exhibit favorite, has only recently won wide recognition as a promising painter. Born in Kensington, Maryland, in 1915, Jamieson studied painting at the Abbot School of Fine Arts, the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, and under various graphic artists in Mexico. Besides executing many murals for the Treasury Department, Department of Interior and various state Post Offices, he taught drawing and painting in the Corcoran School of Fine Arts, and served as a Navy combat artist fnr the duration of the war.

His recent prizes include the first award in the National Pepsi-Cola Competition for 1948, which was a great stride forward toward national recognition. "Port of Cherbourg," a painting inspired by his wartime experiences, probably done later from memory or from his war sketch books, depicts the melancholy and loneliness of a ruined European city.
