GUESSING NAME CARDS.

one OF the fastest ways to start a
luncheon off with that cheeriest of all
sounds to hostess ears-laughter and
chatter-is TO make your guests find
their own places at the table by means
Of cleverly planned place cards.
For luncheons, like every other af-
fair, are only hard to set going. When
the ice Is once broken. conversation
flows pretty freely, right along.
Leave names off your place CARDS,

FOR A LUCK LUNCHEON.

How often does one feel obliged to
prepare nice luncheon in hurry. An
emergency dinner or luncheon dish in
the shape of croquettes for a small
family may be made of a small box of
canned salmon or a tiny can of chick
en-. For a cupful of the fish make a
thick, white sauce of a cupful of milk,
two tablespoonfuls of butter, four ia
blespoonfuls of cornstarch, a little salt
and pepper. Stir in the faxed fish
freed from bones, a dash of paprika
and tablespoonful of lemon juice.
Spread the mixture on platter to cool.
When it is cold shape in croquettes,
roll in egg and cracker crumbs and fry
in deep fat. Serve hot. The same
method can be followed with cold or
canned chicken.

The question of the books that are
still outstanding was taken up, and"a
report made that many had been Sc
cured, though there We're still many
that had not been secured. The peo-
pie who drew out some of the books
are dead. others have moved to diff
ferent states. some as far away as
Texas: and still others could not be
found. A continued effort will be able
to get in the books and greater pre-
caution taken in the future about al
lowing books to be held out any
length of time after the limit allowed
by the library rules. .a

A total of 100 cards We're issued dur
ing the month. making the total since
the opening of the library, 3,721. There
have been $3.50 visitors to the rooms
during September, making a total for
this year of 5S,S37.

AT THE THEATER

Pretty and winning little Adelaide
Thurston. in that pretty little play.
Polly Primrose is quite as much of
an attraction this year as last. That
no matinee was given yesterday was
disappointment to many of Miss
Thurston's Savannah admirers, but she
was warmly welcomed last night.
The romantic interest of the play is
sufficiently strong to make the audience.
as a whole, quite lose sight of certain
flaws in the war sentiment towards the
climax, and Polly's trick to rescue her
lover was warmly applauded. The
piece was set with the same accuracy
as last year, and the same charming
stage appointments, some of the in
dividual pieces of furniture and bric-a-
brac being artistic enough to grace
a drawing-room off the stage.
Miss Thurston's company is a good
one, and she herself, prettily crowned
and graceful, was as charming as ever.
A very successful season may be pre-
dicted for the production.

Savannahians in the William H.

The supreme court of Colorado
recently handed down . decision in
which the revenue law. passed by an
extra session of the legislature in
1909. IL declared constitutional. The
case in which the decision was rend-
cred came upon appeal from San
Miguel county. The special license
required for the sale OF liquor was
attached for the purpose Of testing its
legality and the Colorado State Drug
gists' association instituted the suit
The contention Of the appellants was
that the state had no right to levy
taxes in excess Of the four mills au-
thorized by the constitution but the
supreme court holds that where this
is sufficient to provide revenue for
maintaining the state government
special taxes may be levied and col.
lected. This practically disposes OF
suits now pending in which the cor
poration special tax. known rs the
fiat tax" is attacked and settles the

PROPER treatment OF Pneumonia.
Pneumonia Is too dangerous q
disease for anyone to attempt to doctor
himself, although he may have the

that pneumonia always results from n

and that by giving Chamberlain 8

of pneumonia may be warded off.
This remedy is also used by physicians
