table in red using red carnations and
ferns for the center of the table. Arrange
candles to suit shape of table and style

OF table and sherbet at the other. Tiny
sandwiches and plates of cake should be
placed on the table; also small dishes of

The second menu may be served in the

When entertaining IN the evening as
well as the afternoon, serve tea, chocolate,
punch, sandwiches and fancy cakes until
o'clock, and then serve chicken and lob
ster salad finger rolls, olives and ice cream

If the dining room is prettily decorated

that 1t was with great difficulty the

seized Sothern. Having learned the
name Of this prominent member Of the
rowdy element, he addressed him in

as follows; "Mr. Hanrahan, will you
be good enough to take charge of the
gallery and keep order for me, and I
shall feel very grateful" The result

In a book called 1.-THE Duke Of Ho,-

account Of a curious vine product
called the lamb gourd," which runs
as follows: In the neighborhood Of
Samara, Russia, there grows a gourd
which closely resembles a lamb in all
its members. 1t changes place in grow
ing as far as the stalk viii reach, and
wheresoever 1t turns the grass withers
and dies. This change Of the gourd
plant the Muscovites call feeding,
They further say that when it ripens
the stalk withers and that the out
ward rind Of the gourd is then covered
with a sort of wool, which they use
instead Of fur"
Scaliger also makes mention of the
lamb gourd and says that 1t grows I'M

for want Of n~ourishment. He also says
that the wolf is the only animal that
