is hung across his shoulder by a narrow
ribbon or cord. and fifteen hearts, one
larger than the rest.
Each lady receives silk cord. which
has fifteen hooks sewed on; this she ties
around her neck She is also given fif-
teen arrows (procured at any toy store,.
The gilt darts are now placed with the
names down. on a table. Each gentle-
man takes one. The lady whose name
he reads will be his partner for the first
and supper dance. no matter with whom
she came. He presents the ribbon bearing
his name to her and she ties II on the dart
and puts It In her hair, wearing 1t
throughout the evening After the first
dance her partner takes from his pocket
the large heart and hangs it on the mid
die loop or hook of the necklace, first

she writing her name on the other.
The lady takes from her belt an arrow.

shoulder.
Every dance adds heart to the neck

the supper and last dance, the hostess
requests the loan of the large hearts
from the necklaces. A cord Is stretched
across the room and with common pins
the hearts are lightly stuck on. She now
presents a gilded bow to a gentleman,

possesses. but only twice at one trial.

who knocks the greatest number of

Then the ladies all stand close together

and arrows are all put together and the
tall gentleman throws them as high as
he can. The ladies' scramble to catch all
they can. The fortunate one securing
the greatest number. receives the golden
bow as a prize. The hearts are returned

- by Mrs. S. Tyson Rorer for her
yesterdays Food Show lecture,
says the Chicago Record, and
each and every one OF the interested
audience went away convinced that bread
was the simplest thing in the world to
make. Just why some people persist in
putting sugar. molasses or lard in bread
is beyond Mrs. Rorer's comprehension.
The French, who make the finest bread,
are the least elaborate. which is proof
that these additions are useless. Bread
stick pans are not to be washed. Rather
rub them out with paper and put them
