A Fad Party.


Spoon craZes and monogram fan ep-
rational and useful mania, for each
person now has her own especial hob
by; the more practical the better.
With this in mind a young hostess
sent out invitations asking each one
to come prepared to tell of her own
particular fad if possible, to bring a
specimen, and be prepared to talk five
minutes about it.
1t was a very interesting afternoon.
One lady had selected plates for her
specially and she brought most
beautiful old Sevres piece that will
some day be worth a kings ransom.
In her travels plates are always her
quest and her dining room testifies to
her success. Anniversary cups and
saucers was one woman's fad as each
wedding day comes she adds an ex-
quisite cup to her collection. They
are for after-dinner coffee and show
off TO advantage when she serves
black coffee in the drawing room.
A prospective bride adds a towel to
her linen chest every trip she takes;
these she monograms in the colors of
her bedrooms to be. A dime bank was
the source of one guests finances
with which to indulge her fad of tea
pots; many of these she bought at
auction shops. Handkerchiefs was the
pet hobby of dainty little maiden
dressed in blue, and she had them
from all over the world, besides many
fine creations of her own fair hands.
The intellectual girl confessed that
books were her particular weakness,
and she has many of them inscribed
with the authors name; also rare first
editions, and a splendid bookplate
drawn by a famous illustrator she was
justly proud Of
Chinese carvings was another fad,
and rare Japanese and Chinese pottery
still another. Prints and engravings
were the special love of lady who
nearly always wore gray, which ex-
actly matched her beautiful hair. All
this led up to the fact that every one
needed hobby, something to add zest
to ones journeys; occupy the mind,
and provide always a topic for enter
tanning conversation.

MAKING SUNSHINE
II Is often Found in Pure Food.

The improper selection of food
drives many healthy person into the
depths of despairing illness. Indeed,
much sickness comes from wrong food
and just so surely as that is the case
right food will make the sun shine
once more.
An old veteran of Newburyport,
Mass, says: "In October, was taken
sick and went to bed, losing AZ pounds
in about 60 days. l had doctor after
doctor, food hurt me and had to live
almost entirely on magnesia and soda.
All solid food distressed me so that
water would run out of my mouth in
little streams.
Il had terrible night sweats, and my
doctor finally said had consumption
and must die. My good wife gave up
all hope. We we're at Old Orchard,
Me-, &C that time and my wife saw
Grape-Nuts in a grocery there. She
bought some and persuaded me to
try 1t.
81 had no faith in 1t, but took IL to
please her. To my surprise II did not
distress me as all other food had done
and before had taken the fifth pack
age was well on the mend. The pains
left my head, my mind became clearer
and gained weight rapidly.
II went back to my work again and
now after six weeks use Of the food
I am better and stronger than ever be-
fore in my life. Grape-Nuts surely
saved my life and made me a strong

Chatting Dish FUDGE Party.

Bring your chatting dish and aprons
for two on Saturday night at eight"
This was the message four girls and
four lads of congenial minds received
not long ago. And what jolly time
they had! The helpful boys donned
the aprons and the girls amid much
merriment instructed them into the
mysteries of fudge building.
There was divinity fudge, which is
the very latest addition to the fudge
family, and all sorts of concoctions
that made the plain chocolate fudge of
well, I'll say my school days" in
stead of how many years ago, look
like a plain little Quaker lady amid
the new fluffy masses filled with nuts
and candied cherries.
The making and selling of fancy

a goodly array of South side girls
among its members.
Even grown-ups enjoy fudge" par
