A subscriber asks how to entertain
l25 guests and what to serve in way
OF light refreshments. For such
large company an evening with music
will be found TO give the most salts
faction. II you can afford 10 pay pro
fessionals, all well and good; but
very clever work may be accom-
plished with amateurs. Do not have
more than ten numbers, and be not
toe lavish with encores. Folding
chairs may be rented for a nominal
sum. so all may be seated comfort
ably. After the first five selections
serve frappe. When the programme
IS finished, pass napkins on plates,
then coffee and minced chicken sand
wiches. olives and salted nuts. A
sweet course is not necessary. II you
could make it practical, you could
have IAN evening of old-time music.
Have the old-fashioned songs, such as
FLOW Gently, Sweet Alton" Land Of
the Leal." Annie Laurie" Ben Bolt,
etc. For piano solos use THE Maid

and any of the old variations tha

A Guessing Game.

A Jolly guessing game is carried out
in this manner: The guests were ten
in number, and after being seated
around IL ; table for refreshments. the
hostess requested each one to pass to
his right hand neighbor the object
that was handed to him under the
table. and TO endeavor to determine
IN the passing what the article was.
Previously she had laid paper and
pencils beside each plate. At given
signal she began passing the arucies'
which were under tie table in bas'
ket at her place. Such fun as there
was for ten or Is minutes! Here are
some OF the things that went the
rounds, ana every hostess can think
OF other objects equally gotd: a

REFORM is TRIUriS liant.
The People See That Democracy Is

The democrats were generally sue
cessful al the late elections wherever
the party had declared Tor Tie reforms
the voters desire aud nominated
friends Of the people who were heartily
in sympathy with reform and good
government
National questions had great weight
in some OF The states and there is no
doubt that if congress had been
elected IL would have shown demo-
cratic majority. Many of the repub-
lican voters see that their leaders and
party machines are cocrur; and OPP
posed to the reforms that the demo
cratic party stands for and that Pres
ident Roosevelt endorses.
The people want railway rate legis-
lation: tariff revision; popular cleo
ton OF senators; municipal ownership;
anti-pass legislation and other re.
forms. The people are disguised with
the graft and corruption Of the repub-
lican party, they have an honest aver
sion to the republican leaders that
used vast sums Of tainted money 10
buy elections; they are opposed to
ship subsidy. which many OF the re-
publican leaders are advocating; they
dislike government by Injunction; they
have a lively antipathy 10 the evident
combination Of the republican leaders
in congress with corporations and the
Wall street element. In fact. the in
dependent voter continued his raid on
rings and grating as he did last year
when voting for five democratic gov
ernors in otherwise republican states
These expressions Of the voters, II
indirect, offer plain instructions 10 the
democracy 20 continue their honest ef
forts for reforms and 20 boldly declare
what they believe 70 be right and thus

foated, holding in their beaks stream

radiated TO the place Of each guest.

concealed under the wing, large enough

swan there was a diminutive envelope.

card inside bore the names Of the en-

then creamed sweet-breads in heart
shaped pastry shells, Saratoga pota-
toes. hot rolls. white grape and pecan
nut salad, pistachio iced cream in the
| form of hearts with an arrow of white.
and heart-shaped cakes finished this
green and white luncheon. Tiny glass

Chronic Constipation, Stomach Liver Trouble

The condition of the patient remains un-

have not been stimulated and in a few
days stronger purgative may have to be
taken. This is why Pills and Aperient
Waters never give permanent relief.
Their violent action results in an unnat-

ORINo Laxative Fruit syrup is the only

Stimulation Without Irritation.

ORINo Laxative Fruit Syrup is new
laxative syrup combined with the deli
eious flavor Of fruits, and is very pleas
ant to take. 1t will not grippe or sicken.
1t is much more pleasant and effective
than Pills, Tablets and Saline Waters,
as it does not derange the Stomach, or
irfitate the Kidneys, Liver or Bowels.
Constipation.
ORINo Laxative Fruit Syrup will posi-
lively cure chronic constipation as it re-
stores the natural action of the intestinal
tract. Ordinary cathartcs may give tenn
porary relief but the stomach is upset
and the bowels are irritated without any
permanent benefit having been derived.
