hat and coat aside and met the mill
agent and his daughter in the draw
ing room.
/ Cromwell found that he was by nc
means the first arrival. We are
quite cosmopolitan tonight" Miss
Stevens said to him as she led the
way across the room, and with easy
grace she introduced him to her guests
Miss Marsh and Miss Florence Marsh
of Missouri; Miss Vroman of Kansas;
Miss Fairchild of Halifax and Mr.
Macarthur whom he already knew as
the assistant superintendent at the
mills, and who had come over three
Years before from Glasgow, SO he had
been told
When the conversation had become
general she sat down beside him and
Ntold him something of the young Wo-
men to whom he had been introduced
"The Marsh girls she said, are at
Wellesley college, and are spending the
week with an invalid aunt here, fol-
they live in the Iron mountain region
of Missouri Dora Vroman and Edith
Fairchili are at the normal school, ano
the two men who have not yet arrived
are Professor Marchen0, who teaches
private classes in the languages, ano
Tommy Tucker"
And who is Tommy Tucker?" asked
Cromwell His name sounds somehow
as If he were the only one of us who
is not away from home"
| She replied lightly, as though the
matter was one that did not concern
her seriously. His family is spending
the winter in Egypt and | invited him
here tonight to keep him away from
his club
The party was complete soon after
this when the two men arrived togeth-
er-Tucker perfectly groomed, from
the parting III his hair to his pat
ent leather shoes, the little Italian pro
fessor carefully brushed, and bowling
low as he crossed the threshold Crom-
well knew, as he looked at the two
men, which one had caused the
] thoughtful suggestion not to wear eve
ming dress, and he felt deeper admir-
alton for the girl who was entertaining
"the stranger\ within her gates ano
determined to do his part toward max
| ing her party a success.
Being a company gathered from Sc
many distant points they found con
versation an easy matter, and the mil
agent who was content in whatever
gave his daughter pleasure, Withdrew
to his smoking room in another par
CT the house. They lived alone, he anC
his daughter, except for the servants
and because of her he was content t
hold a place in the world that onc'
would have become uncomfortable haC
not she been spared to him. So HI
excused himself and withdrew, ye

the room.
After he had gone the girl from Kan

good old Christmas games, charades

Roast Goose

It is very necessary select a young
goose. as an old one will be strong in
flavor and the meat tough. SINCE, re-
move the pin feathers, and before it is
cut or drawn, wash and scrub thor
oughly in warm soap suds to open and
cleanse the pores and to render the
oil more easy to be extracted. Wash
and rinse the inside in clean water and
wipe dry. Stuff sew and truss it, put
on a rack in a pan and cover the breast
with thin strips of fat salt pork. Bake
in hot oven about two hours, basting
every Is minutes, When part of the
oil has been extracted, pour it from the
pan and dredge the goose with flour
and place again in the oven. Dredge
with flour each time it is basted.

CHRISTMAS TEA
There Is an Excuse For Women
For Bargain Hunting at This
Season of the Year
THE ENGLISH TEA PARTY
Is MUCH ADMIRED
Odd Cups and SauCers That Har-
monize Delightfully."- Are
Much Priced

The tea table is a comforting feature
of boudoir and drawing room these
dreary December days, and the teacup
fad is often instructing as well as
amusing, and need not of necessity be
a costly hobby.
4 To the lover of delicate china, teacup
searches in out-of- -the-way shops are a
pure delight, and rare Christmas bar
gains are to be found by the woman of
energy and taste who doesn't object to
deIving in musty shops of treasures at
low prices In one of the shops, odd
cups and saucers are offered for sale
at a lonrth of their original price. If
one has good eye for color these waits

time of war, men not near the peasts,
as sometimes we too sadly see in the
time of peace; see them not one taking
a drop too much; not one gallivanting
with the women; every one devoting
aye, even his life for his comrade
fetching his comrade off the field, with
out notice or praise from anyone,
either in words or in print; and if
killed in the attempt, his name only
goes down as killed in battle;' always
devoted, even to the death, as our
Great Master and Friend, Jesus Christ,
was to His fellow men.
"Oh, if such be war, we will not say,
Let there always be war; but blessed
be war which makes such heroes of
fellowship out of war. Sad is the death
of our comrades. But we may say,
Death comes not untimely to him who
is fit to die The briefer life, the earlier
Immortality And who would keep him
back? Not even his wife. My friends,
survivors of Balaclava, 1 pledge you in
this cup, not all of grief, but of living
life, worth perhaps all the downy chairs
we know Of Those who are gone are
with us still, working with US at the
good and right, and the happiness of
our fellow men. Pray believe me ever
your faithful friend,

Sevres, Limoges and porcelain can be
marshaled into order and transformed
into charming harlequin tea sets. When
the colors are not too bright, beauti-
full contrasts can be obtained. A Jap
anese cup is of palest rose, flowered in
soft, misty pattern, The rose color is
deeper at the top, fading toward the
base into faintest pink, where it melts
into the pearly gray of the saucer. A
cup of cream Limoges, flowered with
green and pink rests on a saucer of
bright Coalport green. A harmonious
mixture of china is not the crime that
jumbled periods and styles of furniture
is, and when colors do not cry out
against each other, and Sevres is not
welded to Wedgewood of Cloisonne to
lockwood, the effect is more apt to be
pleasing than otherwise, and variety
and originality are obtained as well as
mere prettiness
One young woman who 'prides herself
upon her o'clock hospitality, after
Christmas has brought the shortening
days, has passion for three-legged
cups. They are easily upset, easily brok-
en- and not any more graceful than or
binary cups, but they have a strange
fascination for her, and no other cups
appear upon her tea table.
Some of her cups are supported by
china roses, one has three little gilded
wheels instead Of legs, and another
rests upon the grotesque bent backs of
three miniature frogs. Cups of fiuted
china with handles formed by flowers
and twisted stems are fragilely dainty.

The saucer is tinted to correspond
with the lining of the cup.
Cups with covers are low and broad
and resemble little rankin cases. Min

family adorn the cups of many 5 o'clock
tea tables. The elaborate heavy cup is
not at all suitable for tea drinking. 1t
should be reserved for coffee, chocolate
or bouillon. The Oriental idea of a tea
cup is as near perfection as possible
wide, low, simple in design and thin as
an eggshell.
The English tea-tray of polished ma
hogany, plain, or inlaid with lighter
wood and covered with a sheet of glass
to prevent scratches and blisters, is the
most sensible and convenient of con-
trivances It is provided with a rim to
keep the dishes from sliding off, and
has two handles to carry it with. With
these trays, no fussy little tea table,
always ready and usually crowded and
unsteady, is necessary. Tea is brought
in ready to serve on the big tray, which
is set down on any table or tabouret.
Another o'clock accessory is Gmuffin
stand, a pyramid of wicker shelves,
with a ring at the top by which the
stand can be carried around. The tea
table of the day is the low, broad, stur-
dy table that has a solid under shelf,
and that can bear a heavy tray of
goodies without teetering. The wicker
table and low wicker chairs to match
are typical of o'clock comfort and
ease.
