inexpensive Courses Pleasing to the
Eye and Gratifying to the Palate
Beauty In ccloring Of
Rugs.

For a small luncheon, the following
menu will be found inexpensive: For
the first course half a grapefruit 1.-THE
pulp Of which has been removed)
chilled, sweetened, and a little grape
juice added. Serve this in the grape
fruit shells or in glasses, which come
for the purpose, with one Or two
maraschino cherries on top, and around
the edge place a row of white grapes,
cut In half and the seeds removed.
For your next course serve a cream.
ed fish of some kind. To prepare this,
make a rich cream sauce, and into
this break your cold boiled fish
sprinkle with chopped parsley, and
season to taste. Bake in individual
ramekins. With this course have
small bread and butter sandwiches or
tiny rolls.
A single chop with French peas and
shoestring potatoes will be nice for
the third course. The meat may be
garnished with a bit of parsley or
watercress; with this have hot rolls
and olives.
For your salad apple cups filled with
chopped nuts and celery mixed with
~mayonnaise or French dressing are
attractive. Ice cream with maca-
ICONS is a good dessert, and with this
serve your coffee. On your table
place small dishes of sailed nuts,
minis and candied ginger.
Have the grapefruit on the table
when the guests are seated, Serve
fish in ramekins from the kitchen.
Then have your chops prettily ar
ranged on a platter and serve these
yourself. AS the salad course is sup
posed to be on individual plates, have
the maid bring 1t in. The hostess
may serve the ice cream IL the top
of your table is well polished, use
a white center square with doilies to
match under the plates. A few flow
ers on the table is a great addition.

OLD sANNoN CAN'T De sRokEN.
Armament . / Old Craft Was Made to
Last.

A good story is being told at the
Mare Island navy yard concerning a
San Francisco contractor who thought
all the old bsolete cannon which were
sold at the IDEAL yard some time ago.
The cannon were all of the smooth
bore kind, and In order that they
might be easily handled for shipment
to the city all sorts of schemes were
tried to endeayor to break them with
dynamite and blasting powder, but
they were unsuccessful.
An electric drill machine was even
set up at the yards and the cannon
were drilled fun of holes in order to
weaken them for breaking open with
wedges, but this was also u~nsuccess-
full. The cannon were then taken
away and the last heard OF them they
were corralled in the hills near PORT
Richmond. where In effort was beirg
made to break them open with dyna-
mite again.
The cannon which proved to be so
strong were among the armament Of
the war craft which sailed the seas
in 1912.

GHOSTS PLAY MANY FRANKS,
Grab Rope from BelIringer and Cut
Down Trees.

Ghostly happenings have disturbed
the town of Kirkwall, the capital of
the county of Orkney. On Wednes-
day night, says the London Daily Mail,
the wife of the bellringer went to st.
Magnus cathedral to sound the curfew
at eight o'clock. This is an ancient
custom still observed In the burgh.
The bell had been tolled for less than
a minute, when, 1t is alleged, a figure
suddenly appeared at the woman's
side, snatched her hands from the
rope and as mysteriously disappeared.
Another morning 20 trees which
a few years ago were planted in
front of the cathedral were found TO
have been cut down. The night was
a calm one, with brilliant moonlight,
and the trees were standing at n
o'clock in the morning.
Hundreds Of windows have an out
look on the spot, and many people who
were still astir at three o'clock In
the morning did not hear the slightest
sound outside. Yet an hour later
every tree had been destroyed. The
police are batled.
