Christmas Salad.

For a Christmas salad select the
largest and brightest red apples, and
cut a deep slice from each at the
stem end. Scoop out the pulp; drop
both the covers and apples into cold
water and leave them until needed
Cut crisp celery into small pieces with
one-third the quantity of English wal
nuts or pecans broken mix with very
stiff .mayonnaise. Wipe and polish each
apple and fill with the salad, fitting
each cover carefully, and set on bed
of crisp lettuce leaves just before
serving.

When the series of discourses found
its most untimely close, we assembled
in a cornfield and indeed we nearly
froze. We'd forgotten, we're so old,
there was such a thing as cold, and
we're much too smart to think of
things like those. But our hearts are
always warm, and in thinking, Fred,
of you, such warmth arose as any
time would boil an oyster stew. Then.
a-basking in the heat, we did all of
us compete in discussion of what
would and wouldn't do. Once the argu-
ment grew fierce, but over this we'll
draw a veil. We are all of us so
learned that we thought (you know
the tale), that we each of us knew
best what would lend the greatest
zest-what a modern boy would not
consider stale.
We consulted sundry lists which
only mixed us up the worse we re-
jected some suggestions far too long
for any purse; and we bickered and
we snlckered, while above the moon
light flickered, and discovered that
ideal things were Source" And at
last we gave up trying to decide it
for each other, and departed, saying:

in social converse out on the piazza
overlooking the Wisconsin river.
At the close of card playing, Mrs. w.

a dainty cut glass finger bowl. The

of the pleasantest social affairs given
in this city, and Mrs. Conway is to be
congratulated upon the delightful
| manner in which she entertained hel

the long looked railway connection
More railways the better, will apply in
the case of Waupaca the same as all
other growing cities 1t will increase
the business of the lines already here

Business of frand Rapids Laun-
dry Rapidly Increasing Under

F.! in contactwith men or women, who
have been successful in their chosen
vocation and By careful pains taking
methods, and unbounded faith
in their Gown capabilities have
overcome trials and difficulties that
have thwalted the efforts and baked

bued with the spirit of their own
ability Such are the Normington
Bros, of MarShaeld. now in charge of

These gentlemen are we'll pleased

more than doubled the business since
they have been n charge, despite the
fact that they lad to contend with
many trials anc difficulties, some of
which were 4lnvarranted and entirely
unexpected |
In the first place the machinery
was in vely bad shape and sadly in
need of reoairS. Several new ma
chimes were installed; one machine
for shaping a tnrn down collar and
smootheniIg the inner sides and edges.
This is in Ifnnovation never used in
a laundry in Grand Rapids. In
fact the ,inti1e plant was given a
thorough Ioverhauling. Although
conditions have been vastly improved
by these additions and alterations,

who is in charge OF the Grand Rapids
plant, is not content but has planned
numerous either changes to be made
as soon as circumstances will permit.
that will gre ,lyfacilitate business and
enable himt double the present out
put of the hundry.
The new frm have thus far made
no effort toouild up or increase their
business; its growth since their advent
has been Voluntarily, due to the ex-
cellence OF the work turned out.
Grand Rapids, because ofits location
and railroad facilities, is an excellent
location fer an up-to-date laundry.
That Nornington Bros fully realize
this fact, the reporter learned this
morning while in conversation with G.
A. Normington. Not only does Grand
Rapids offel an excellent field to draw
business from, but there are numerous
small towns ana illages with in easy
reach, such.s Nekoosa. Port Edwards
Babcock, F.tspiile, Almond, and
Rudolph which will supply great
deal of work
Owing to the fact that the local
laundry was unable to take care OF
this outside work, heretofore, it was
shipped to Marshfield. This work
will naturally revert to the Grand
Rapids laundry as soon as the present
firm is in a position to take care of it
One of tie greatest difficulties that
Normingtori Bros. had to contend with
here, and which still remains a
partially unsolved problem is the lack
of experienced help. About three
weeks aftei the new firm were in
charge the entire force of hands
formerly EN- ploye d quit in a
body without a moments warning.
1t waS found necessary to import
some of the experienced hands from
the Marshfeld branch in order to
carry on the work. These in ad.
dition to the new hands now in train
ing will giTe the firm an efficient
force of enc mployeS with which to carry
on and build up their fast growing
business.
