Mrs. Maynard Crane entertained
thirty lady friends in very recherche
manner at her home last Friday after
noon. AS is usual at these parties
the chief entertainment was brain
cracking affair. A card was given
each lady on which were a number of
names representing cake we would
call it cake conundrum party. The
ladies were to guess the kind of cake
represented by the word, and as each
one present was supposed to he good
cook and well posted on cake lore it
would naturally be inferred that it was
an easy snap for them, but it wasn't.
However, they all made good progress
and at the finish twas found that Mrs.

secured the prize. Each lady was Civ

gentlemen make poor walters as they
were too prone to stop and talk to the
ladies instead of passing around the
eatables and we certainly cannot
blame them when they have thirty
pretty women to talk to Mrs. Cranes

GOOD WORDS FOR NEW BREAD.
Fresh Leaves Net Do Injurious to the
DtSssstea ~ Z osass~uy
s0DDSoSA.

A writer in the London Lancet dis
putss the commonly received opinion
regarding the injuriousness of new
bread. He says stale bread, when
broken between the teeth, resolves
itself into gritty particles. which. il
they were not softened with saliva,
would be next to impossible to swal-
low, consequently man thoroughly
masticates stale bread and in doing %
impregnates it with saliva. which par
TALLY digests and adopts i. to the ab-
sorptive action further on in the ALI
mentary tract.
But new bread. being soft and plas-
tic. is more apt to Be swallowed with
out mastication. or. In other words.
bolted. 1t is in this act, he thinks, I hat
the injury exists and not in the chsrac-
ter Of the bread. Hot rolls would be
just as digesuble as stale ones il they
were properly masticated. He refers
IN this connection to the dog as teach
Or OF an important physiological les
son. This animal bolts meat. but eats
bread. because the mouth parts are
able to do little toward the digestion
OF meat beyond reducing il to a con.
venient form for swallowing, He, how
ever. seems to overlook the fact that
the dogs teeth are lily constructed for
chewing, and that this Is most likely
the reason for his expe editious disposal
of meat.
Another curious fact which he calls
attention to is that stale bread is not
more dry than new. This Is shown
by submitting stale bread for q short
time to high temperature. Under
such conditions 1t becomes soft and
plastic, regaining its ne ewness, and this
despite the fact that some moisture
must be driven on in the operation.
He thinks this is explainable on the
supposition that in new bread there 10
free water present, but that In stale
bread, while it is still there, 1t is in .
state OF true chemical combination
In general, he concludes, 1t Is a sound
