A Luncheon for the Girl Graduate.
This description of luncheon to be
given by the mother of a sweet girl
graduate may be of assistance to 9TH
ers who. wish to have similar affairs.
The class colors are orange, and pur-
pie, gorgeous in the extreme, yet they
combine very prettily. There are just
II girls, and they are to sit around a
polished table, with lace mats over
purple.
The candles are to be individual ones
in brass holders, with shades of lace
paper filagree over purple. Tiny dolls
dressed in purple gowns with caps
of orange are to hold the place
cards, which are cut out in book form
from purplish cardboard lettered in
gold with the words: THE History of
Miss Blank
The menu is to be the usual one, so
I'll not give the dishes, but the salad
of orange, nuts, celery and white
grapes is to be served in halves of
oranges made irto baskets with a bow
of orange and purple on the handle.
The ice is to be orange, with cake
frosted with the egg yollls instead of
the whites. With the after-dinner
coffee paper rolls tied up like diplomas
with the class colors will be passed
bearing this pretty verse, which is
most appropriate for the guests just
starting out on the next period of
life's journey:
"a little journeying through shade
and sun,
A little rest where quiet waters run,
A little parleying with friend and foe.
A little oasis where blossoms grow,
A little darkness ere the light is won"

A Penny Social.

The Junior society of a church de-
vised this method of raising some
money for a picture they wished to
purchase. They advertised the affair
by hand bills and posters and did con-
siderable talking themselves, so every
one was consumed with curiosity to
see what those young things could
do" On the night in question they"
found it took a penny to get in as well
as penny to get out. There was pop
corn for penny d glass; it was
popped on the spot by a street vender,
who was glad to come for a small share
in the profits, and then there was a
very popular candy table, and there
were refreshments which were retailed
by the penny worth.
Fortunes were told for cent, and
the present" past" and future"
were continued to an indefinite length
by rhe Forthcoming cent. These in
genious Juniors had concocted many
scheme to inveigle the little red In

suffering public You could find out

a stick of gum for a cent each. There
was flower booth, penny blossom;
boot-blacking stand, with seat re-
served for ladies which was under
huge umbrella. The street fakirs ped
died fruit, and there was a scissors
grinder, also 4 hand organ man. 1t
was conducted on the order of a
street fair, and the treasurer found

FOR CHAPPED HANDS.
Wear Gloves as Much as Possible and
Do Not Wash the Hands More
Than Is Necessary.

Just as there is a constitutional ten
dency of certain skins to become
roughened and excoriated by the stim-
ulating effect of cold winds, SO is there
a constitutional tendency for the
hands to chap at some seasons of the
year under the influence of cold water
or an irritating cleansing medium.
Soaps containing an excess of alkali,
and water containing even small guam
titles of soda, are particular offenders
in this direction.
AS is well known, washerwomen
whose hands are constantly immersed
in strong solutions of soda are par
ticularly liable not only to chapped
hands, but actually to eczema of the
skin, and bakers who are in the habit
of kneading dough which also often
contains fair proportion of carbon
ate of soda, very frequently suffer in
the same way.
The best recipe therefore that I can
give you to avoid chapping of the
hands is to avoid using indiffereltly
prepared soaps and as far as possible
to dispense with manual ablutions. To
protect the hands from atmospheric
conditions it is advisable to wear
gloves, not only out of doors but as
much as possible in the house also.
This serves the additional purpose of
obviating the necessity for frequent
washing. 1t is possible now to procure
some very thin India rubber gloves
which fit the hand closely and in no
way interfere with the delicate manip-
ulations of the fingers. Surgeons are
now in the habit of using these gloves
in the performance of their operations,
fo- they are in no way damaged by
washing and they both protect the
hands from irritating antiseptics and
other fluids with which they come in
contact and they also protect the per-
son operated on from any possible
contamination that may be contained
on the skin of the surgeon.
These gloves, as l have remarked,
are exceedingly useful for domestic
use by people who are liable to
chapped hands and in whom the con-
dition, If 1t arises, amounts to some
thing more than an inconvenience.
