Picked Pigs Feet.

Clean and scrape thoroughly ten or
twelve pigs feet, soak in cold water for an
hour. then scrape again. Place in a large
kettle with two tablespoonfuls of salt and
six quarts boiling water and simmer gently
for four hours, or until tender. Pack in
stone jar while hot. laying some of the feet
in first, then few slices of onion, then
more feet and more onion. and so on until
all the feet have been used. Place two
quarts of vinegar in a separate saucepan
over the fire. with one quart of the broth
in which the feet have been cooked, half
Gozen cloves, Tablespoonful mustard. a
tablespoonful whole peppers, two bay leaves
and two tablespoonfus sugar. Bring to a
good scald, pour over THE pigs feet and set
the jar away in cool place. II takes sew

drapery, with two fiat pasteboard crowns
fastened to their backs. On the table have
the usual plates of sandwiches, fruit, can
dies and fringed notices or bonbons. with
small candles arranged in a large circle
about the center of interest the cake, raised
high on a standard and surmounted with
lace paper border. Angels food or
sponge cake is the best thing to make, and
a lima bean must be baked in it. On the
top should stand two little dolls dressed as
a king and queen, with crown and moving
robes. These are to be given to the ones
who are chosen king and queen of the
party.
Have the supper a substantial one. as
children always are hungry at party, put
that animal crackers and jumbles which
ones fingers may go through always taste
more delicious than the same things In
grown-up shapes. Cut the sandwiches IN
triangles, crescents and circles, or get the
tin cutters which make hearts, diamonds,
clubs and spades and use those.
Have the salad something novel and pref
ty to a child; have the biscuits no larger
than an English walnut, and butter them
and serve cocoa In small cups.
Use little baking dishes for the oysters.
Be sure and have bonbons or notices that
have the paper caps inside, because these
will be needed later on. This menu is sim
pie, but still hearty. and made up OF things
children like:
Cream of clam soup in cups
Bread and butter sandwiches.
Creamed oysters In small dishes.
Fried chicken Potato balls.
pease In rice cups Little biscuit.
Cocoa Celery salad in lettuce heads
Animal crackers.
Ice cream in forms.
Cake Candles.
After the cream is served comes the great
event OF the evening-the cutting of the
cake Each child has piece and all are to
eat 1t at the same time. and the one VINO
finds the bean Is to be king or queen of the
party and must choose a consort and then
he seated on the throne and will lead in all
the games and dances of the evening.
As Thanksgiving Day
Brings many sweets, avoid rich desserts
They are always inappropriate at chaf1ng
dish supper. A little whipped cream served
in glasses, or a dainty lemon jelly are the
only ones that are admissible. The decora-
tons should be simple; handsome vase Of
flowers and four candlesticks with red
shades are quite enough for an informal
supper.

Gentlemen
Ballet dancers is lovely and amusing
figure for a dance. Provide short and ex
tremely full ballet skirts of assorted celors
of tissue paper for the gentlemen. and hair
ornaments in corresponding colors for the
ladies. After the couples chosen have
danced around, the gentlemen retire to a
side room to don their skirts, while the
hair ornaments are distributed among the
ladies'
The leader now announces that Mademoi-
selle So and So, with her famous troupe of
dancers, will delight and entertain the
guests. etc. After the gentlemen have fur
nished considerable amusement for the
company they seek as partners those whose
hair ornaments match their skirts in color.
Another entertaining novelty for dance
Is made by placing broom, lantern and
an umbrella before one of the ladies, to
whom four gentlemen are presented. She
selects one for partner, gives to another
the umbrella to hold over her head while
she dances. To another she gives the Ian
tern to light her way; to the fourth the
broom. with which to sweep the floor be-
fore her and her partner.
Something even more frolicsome Is to
fasten Jumps of sugar by strings to the
ends of fishing rods These are dangled by
the ladies before the gentlemen, who try
to catch the sugar in their mouths. If sue
cessful, they dance with the holders of the
poles.
A charming effect is produced by tapers.
AS many small wax tapers are provided as
there are ladies. The leader presents one
to each lady: the ordinary lights are ex-
t.nguished and the tapers lighted. The gen.
tlemen then rise, each favors lady, blows
out her taper, lights are turned on, and all
dance.
The Enjoyment
OF children's party only begins at the
moment the supper is served. so it is best
to arrange to have the supper first and the
games and dances afterward. For small
children $50 a dark winter day will not
seem too early, and for larger children 6
will do we'll. especially as an early meal
gives a longer evening.
Arrange the seats around three sides of
the dining room and on the fourth erect

Handsome Linen

Handsome Linen
Pillow shams are being shown in the shops
from $40 pair upward and are trimmed
with hand embroidery. hemstitched edges
and drawn-work border. These are in
beautiful patterns of graceful vines and
sprays OF clover and ivy leaves. scrolls
and blossoms. and are as pretty any
one can desire. All shams are thirtytwo
inches square where monogram is used
The monogram is placed in the middle,
though the best ones are minus the own
er's stamp.
Less expensive shams are hemsttched
and lace edged. with a row of inserting
as border; others have the trimming of
Hamburg embroidery, and when the mono
gram is added look well for outlay of
from 81 and So upward.
Shams can be made at home that are
mass of drawn work over silk, but If
bought are expensive.
Each season more linen sheets are sold
the prejudice against them is gradually
passing away. They are delightful for
summer use. The trouble with ready
made muslin and linen sheets is that the
manufacturers try to save in the length.

cynical remarks, no unkind sarcasm cross
our lips.
One Kings Daughters society formed a
Tongue Guard League. Each member car
ries in her pocketbook little card written
with three questions which constitute three
sleeves through which all conversation must
pass before it is uttered: rs 1t true!
rs it necessary" rs 1t kind?'
After
We have learned how to plan one thing TOT
each day. with perhaps not too much fas-
tidiousness about time. We can add more.
We can insist on our doing two things. ana
We can be more particular as to the time,
always, however. leaving some leeway for
the unexpected and not overcrowding any
one day.
1t is helpful to look ahead a week at
time. note our engagements and range our
other affairs to dovetail in with the whole.
Where We see a crowded day we can
tighten it's burden by passing some OF Its
duties on to the morrow.
In this way letters will get written, visits
paid. reading and studying done, walks
taken. frolics and amusements enjoyed
friends entertained. club or charity duties
fulfilled.
The walk and the reading must be pro-
vided for every day; they mean too mucn
to bodily and mental health to be omitted
even for Neutrality-suspicious.. The rest can
be each allotted their niche in the weekly
scheme: an hour or two this morning for
letters. that afternoon one or two calls,
another for the club, fourth for study,
and so on. No one Item need take great
deal of time: all it needs is particular
place in the day or the week.
Poets
Help us to see beauty and significance.
Where the ordinary eye finds only COM
monplaces the poetical vision discovers
profoundest verities. teeming truths and
wealth of loneliness. They write about the
daisy which the plowman passes by. They
write about the man with the hoe. And
then. when the rest of us look at the
daisy or at the man with the hoe again
we can perceive some of the wonders re-
vealed to us by the poet
This is one practical reason why it is
helpful habit to read a little poetry every
day of our lives. We learn. then, every
day to see more of the beauty that is all
around us and to interpret with larger
meanings the great things that are hap
pening every moment which We often
gard as petty. Maeterlinck tells a charm
ing tale an angel who absorbed in
meditating. The man seeing him con-
cluded he must be engineering some mo-
mentous world scheme. But. no: he was
experimenting the making of flea's wing.
And 1t was the wing of this tidbit of an
animalcule that plunged the heavenlY-being
in profound thought
We all get more of this greatness and
significance Of the everyday things and
of the little things through our contact
with poetry. Life is invested with fresh
charm. 1t grows greater and sweeter and
richer.
Ten minutes every day with some poet is
an excellent habit. And let us put II in in
the morning. when we can profit by it all
the day and attune the thought of the day
to it's harmony.
