The meeting of the Monday Night

Root was most interesting. Miss Con-
nell read an excellent paper on the his
tory of the Shakespearean play "Corio-

helpful facts. Section of the sani-
tary ordinances was read, which pro-
vides that no eatable which cannot be
washed before eating shall be kept,
sold or offered for sale unless properly
covered. Through the agitation of this
club a large number of dealers have
already complied with the law, and the
cooperation of other clubs il urged in
this matter. This club is also leading

OF course the days have been filed
with hats and hat stories, and the ter
rible prices expected for the least Of
these little ones have formed the
main subject for more conversations
than have the most exciting scandals.
Recently two modestly dressed women
stood viewing the wares in a large mill
Iinery establishment. the gaze of one
being riveted on one small quiet-look-
ing hat with merely a wing and a few
extras for trimming.
II think" she said this will go very
well with my spring suit. How much
IS it, please?"
THAT one is only fifty-fve dollars,
was the polite response. do you think
you'll take it?" asked her friend, as
the milliner stepped forward for an
other.
well, not unless she turns her
back" was the decided answer.
Another interesting hat story goes
that one family supposedly OF the F. f.
L. quality selected FIVE hats to be sent
home from an exclusive establishment
early in the week, and after keeping
them two days returned theTn-with
thanks. Meantime the services of one
little woman. skillful in the arts of the
needle had been secured for the two
days. but there are not many guesses
as to what she was endeavoring TO do.
With the good taste of the entire fam
lily added to her skill. there should
have been some wonderful things ac-
complished.
There will be a great deal doing in a
social way for Miss Anne Meredith,
who comes here next week with The
Nirginian" as leading lady. Miss Mere
dith lis a western girl. who, trained for
a special writer, has left that field and
gone on the stage, Although extreme
ly young and less than a year behind
the footlights. she has already won
quite a measure of fame, and as she
has many friends locally who have
known her from childhood she Will be
welcomed here.
There will be an unusually large at
tendance at the Country club today
and. if the playing is as strenuous as
1-~'1al. the regular ham and" luncheon
will be as greatly appreciated as any
humber OF courses under other circum-
stances. Strange what fine sauce is
found in a walk round the golf course,
or even a stroll over the fields.
The horseback riding habit mot the
long-skirted thing of long ago, but the
real habit) has struck the ladies as
wen as the men who are fond of that
finest of sports. There will be a big
ride today over the country roads, a
number of the same people who en-
joyed the outing last Sunday Joining
once more for a few hours pleasure.
The position of marriage broker is
about to be made one of local impOr-
lance, one of the most charming of the
younger matrons having agreed 10 pro-
cure a suitable wife for a handsome
though rather youthful bachelor. There
will doubtless be new wagging of the
old tale 1.-TWO can play at that game"
\
The old superstitiOns attaching to the
merry month of May as time for tying
of matrimonial knots is to be set aside
in several cases of local importance,
and the nuptials are to be celebrated
with apple blossoms Strange, is ii not,
that what Cupid finds so fair should be
so Stunned by HymeE.

It's Impossible

You ask Why should buy Mapl-Flake? Why
not cook wheat food myself"
Because wheat starch to be digestble needs treat
ment that you can't give it.
Our wheat is cooked for six hours.
Then it is cured for 80 hours
Then faxed as thin as paper
Then toasted 80 minutes at 400 degrees
That is all done to make the starch soluble; to
separate the PARTICLES so the digestive juices can get
to them.
This is not important when the stomach is
strong But, when the stomach is weak, it is of
vital Importance.
The question is this: Will you have food that's
all food food that will all digest or shall part be
nourishment and part be waste to fernen and breed
germs in the stomach
There's the question of convenience, too

may be used on countless. other build

"The economic value Of this rests,
