A Bonnet Party.

For real, genuine fun give me q Bon
net party. Invite about ten congenial
couples or not more than "a people, as
small companies are usually more sue
c~essful, unless one is entertaining very
formally.
In the Invitations request each girl
to bring an old untrimmed hat, with
material for trimming. When all have
arrived, put the hats on one table, the
material on another. Have ready a
supply Of thimbles, needles and stout
thread, with trays Of pins. Let the
party find partners by of
rosettes Of baby ribbon, two Of each
color. Then each man Is to select a
hat, with trimming for the same, and
unaided by his fair partner, make Q
creation to adorn the lady.
Allow three-quarters Of an hour and
then call time. The hats are to be
judged by a committee, who will de-
eide upon the merits of each; then the
headgear Is to be donned by the girls.
BY this time every one will be in a
holiday humor and ready for the din
ing room.~ The table centerpiece Is a
straw hat In lieu Of a basket, filled with
flowers; bonbon boxes in shape OF hats
are the favors, and the ice cream is In
the shape of hats with a flower laid on
each plate.-Madame Merrl.

A r T GIRLS CLUB.
Clever Custom Observed to Have Co.'S
tunes and Refreshments Partake Of
Character of Evening Topic.

A club of girls from 16 to 20 have
q rather clever custom. They meet
once in two weeks and SO far they have
worn the costume and had the refresh
ments partake Of the character OF tho
topic of the evening. There is a 20
minute paper, then the balance of the
time is devoted to sociability and q
good time generally. The dues are ten
cents a member and this sum is kept
on hand for little charitable acts. A
bouquet is sent to a hospital for some
charity patient; groceries are delivered
to a needy family. They have had q
Japanese night, q mock wedding, q
ghost party, an "Old Maid" evening.
at which all were attired as spinsters,
and the paper gave excellent reasons
why n might be a bachelor maid,
and how to be happy though single.
Occasionally the men are asked, az
when the Dutch lunch was given. The
honor is considered very great, as the
girls conduct their meetings with much
secrecy. All live in the neighborhood,
SO no escorts are needed In going back
and forth; but sometimes the boys are
permitted to call at ten o'clock, the
hour the club sounds TAPS" Meet
ings open at even and close at ten,
so all are home by 11.-Madame Merrt.

lMPoRTE FROM D
At Oriental Evening Hostess and
Those That Assist in Receiving
Gowned in Burmese Costume.

A lady who had lived In Burma,
which is a land of continual feasting
and festive times, devised this pretty
and unique evening for her guests:
AT the feast Of lights season Ian
terms are In evidence everywhere, with
airy, fairy decorations of tissue paper
and Japanese parasols, fans and all
shapes and sizes of Chinese lanterns.
All draperies were taken from the
rooms and replaced by strips of crepe
paper, pink and white being used and
the effect in doorways and wei win
dows was beautiful. Large Japanese
umbrellas were hung from the ceilings,
with a lantern suspended from each
RIB. In the dining room fish poles Of
bamboo were uses criss-cross up Gear
the ceiling, and from these lanterns
were hung, just as closely as they could
be used. The candle shades were all
tiny Japanese lanterns. Japanese
shades or Chicks as they are called
In Burma, screened the large porches,
and musicians played there, thus saw
Ing room In the house proper.
Several punches of bananas hung in
the dining room and a delicious rice
curry was served in addition 20 the
customary refreshments. In this
twinkling fairyland the hostess re-
ceived her guests. A number of her
friends assisted her and they were all
gowned in oriental cotton robes, made
after an exact copy of a Burmese wom-
ans gown.
They were adorned with quantities
of beads and all sorts of bazaar orna-
ments. Incense burned in quaint cop.
per receptacles, and the man at the
door was attired in white with a vol
luminous turban.-Madame Merri.

SUGGESTIONS FOR PRETTY AND
NOVEL ENTERTAINMENTS.
Costume Party Appreciated by the
Little Ones - Various Entertain
ments for a a Church Club

For the Wee Ones.

Children always enjoy dressing up,
SO mothers will find that costume, or
character, parties will prove success
full and really very little trouble. OF
course, everything that has to be done
outside of a regular routine brings i'd
Dor, but what is the difference as long
as pleasure Is given and life is made
brighter and happier? There are so
many commonplace days that every
opportunity for keeping special or fes-
tival days should be hailed with de-
light. Invitations which request the
boys to come as Brownies and the
girls as Fairies" will result in a most
charming entertainment.
Dancing is the best amusement with
games played and music. There should
be an older person to direct the music,
as well as some one to preside at the
piano. Songs the children know are
always enjoyable. Provide a generous
supply Of lemonade, to which access
may be had during the evening, for
young people are chronically thirsty.
Add cherries and grated pineapple to
the lemonade and it will be doubly
attractive.
Pair the little guests for refresh.

A Church Club Entertainment.

A correspondent requests entertain
ments suitable to be given by a church
club of young girls; also for the
Of cantatas to be given by a company
+, OF 30. For the latter, l would suggest
going to the largest music store for
suggestions, SO much depends upon
the personnel Of the company as to
the character of a cantata, the range
of voices and the difficulty Of the music
capable of being handled by the young
performers.
A very original entertainment to be
given by a church club In the neal
future is to consist of living pictures
from real life. An amateur photogra-
pher In the crowd has spent some time
In catching snapshots of local indiyid-
uals, these he has enlarged and ar
ranged slides to be thrown on the can

thing has been kept secret and invi-
tations have been issued to spend IAN

ance," so no one can afford to miss the
performance.
Wedding customs Of foreign lands
would make another evening for the
girls church club; taking Japanese,
Burmese and Russian customs. This
combined with cradle songs Of all ma
tons would constitute a very pretty
performance. Have d "tea" room, dec

The 8 ouestion.

Because Of the meat famine various
German newspapers are suggesting
that the cities raise swine to supply
the demand for pork at reasonable
prices. The municipal ownership idea
has not yet progressed thus far In
America, but observing persons must
have remarked that the typical city

The people have allowed the slow MUIR
der of infants and adults, by tricky
makers Of food, drink and drugs to go on

blight. You may not be able to go per-
sonally to Washington to impress your

Many pure food bills have been intro
d,lced and some passed by State legisla-
lures; many have been offered to Con-
gI ess but all thus far seem Objectionable.
It has seemed difficult for politicians to
formulate a satisfactory bill hat would
protect the common people and yet avoid
harm to honest makers and prevent end
less trouble to retailers. No govt COM
mission or officer has the right to fix
food standards to define what the peo-
pie shall and shall not eat, for what agrees
with n may not agree with another and
such act would deprive the common
citizen of his personal liberty. The
Postum Cereal Co., Ltd, perhaps the
largest makers of prepared foods in the
world, have naturally a close knowledge
of the needs of the people and the details
of the business of the purveyors, (the
retail grocery and, guided by this expert
ence have prepared a bill for submission
to Congress which is intended to accom-
plish the desired ends, and inasmuch as a
citizen of the u. S. has a right to food
protection even when he enters another
State it is deemed proper that the govt
take control of this matter and provide a
national law to govern all the states. A
copy of the bill is herewith reproduced.
Sec. / governs the maker whether the
food is put up in small packages sealed,
OF in barrels, boxes or otherwise.
Sec. 2 governs the retailer who may
open a barrel and sell the food in
snail quantities. When he puts the
goods into a paper bag he must also
enclose a printed copy of the statement
OF the maker which was affixed to the
original pkg. and inasmuch as the
reailer cannot undertake to guarantee
the statement of ingredients~he must
publish the statement of the makers
and add his own name and address as a
guarantee of his selling the food as it is
represented to him which relieves the
retailer of responsibility of the truth of
the statement and throws it upon the
maker. where it properly belongs.
The remaining sections explain them
selves.
The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd. for ex-
ample, have from<the beginning of it's
existence printed on the outside of each
and every pkg. of Postum and Grape
Nuts food a truthful and exact statement
Of what the contents were made of in or
der that the might know pre-
cisely what he or she was eating. A per-
son desiring to buy, for instance, strictly
pure fruit jelly and willing to pay the
price has a right to expect not only an
equivalentforthe cost but a further right
to a certainty as to what he eats. Or he
may be willing to buy at less cost a jelly
made part. of fruit juices, sugar and a
portion Of glucose. But he must be sup

NEW FOOD LAW

People now demand the right to know
exactly what they eat.
To be told by maker or retailer that
the food is pure" is not satisfactory.
Candy may contain pure" white clay
or pure dyes and yet be very harmful.
Syrups may contain pure glucose and
yet be quite digestible and even bene-
fetal. Tomato catsup may contain a
small amount of salicylic or boracic acid
as a necessary pre%servative, which may
agree with one and be harmful to an
other.
Wheat flour may contain a portion of
corn flour and really be improved. Olive
oil may be made of cotton seed oil.
Butter may contain beef suet and yet be
nutritious.

ordinary in the way of a new dry goods establishment with which they had become associated And public belief was not scattered Tuesday when the great establishment opened it's doors to the public. Everything has been placed in readiness to the most minute detail, and as one pass ed from department to department he was greeted with a scene of beauty and splendor and richness unsurpass- ed by anything ever shown in the city. The stock of goods carried by the company is complete in every way, and reflects the greatest credit upon the taste and ability of MT. Martin, the company's we'll known buyer. Not an unstable piece of goods is to be seen in the house. Not a single thing but bears the stamp of elegance and refinement and the ap- proval of fashion.
 A large corps of salesmen and sales. ladies were kept busy throughout the day attending to the wants of the customers who thronged the house throughout the day. Whether bent upon business or curiosity, everyone received the same courteous treat ment at the hands of the polite atten. dants, and Tuesdays experience in the retail dry goods and millinery business made many friends for the new concern.
 A most unique and up-to-date fea ture of the new establishment is the fact that the management has set apart an elegant little parlor on the second floor in the rear of the build ing for the convenience of the lady customers. Here may be found nice little rockers, where the ladies ma, be seated and gossip if they choose while in the center of the room is provided neat little desk, with per and stationery handy, where they may do their writing. Everything possible has been done for the con venience of the public.
 The new Murphy-Martin establish ment opens it's doors to the public under the most suspicious circum stances; every indication is for its success, and succeed it doubtless will
