QUIT.
Last Sunday was day delight
fully spent by the large crowd
which attended the basket meet
ing and Children's Day exercises
at Trinity church northwest OF
Mexico. Our people over there
are not very well supplied with
little folks, so they had to re-
sort to the expedient of borrow
ing for this occasion. But little
trouble was experienced in this
direction, however, as we had en-
tended a like favor to our Sun
Rise friends earlier in the season.
Too much cannot be said in
praise of Miss Edith Lambert.
Miss Murtie Spencer and Mrs.
Nat. Morris who engineered the
enterprise and trained the little
folks.
A Mexico quartette composed
of DR.. Griffin, Messrs Hardin,
Hopkins and Wallace, delighted
the audience with n number of
selections. Miss Pearl Morris, of
Mexico, also favored us with a
solo, Miss Roach gave us Jesus
Lover of My Soul, which was very
fine, but, perhaps. the finest thing
rendered was a duet by little Miss
Mary and Master Miller Morris.
y Space fOrbids us mentioning
many of the other good things
rendered. The collection was
good and the dinner, which was
provided by the good women of
the neighborhOOd, regardless of
UNCONVENTIONAL views, fully met
or surpassed the expectation of
all.
After dinner Miss Lille Hen

PRIZES FOR GOOD MENUS

The patient housewife who is try
ing to cater to the needs of her fam
lily on a moderate income, has to
solve daily the same old problem,
what shall | cook for breakfast,
for luncheon, for dinner?" The very
monotony of the question gets on
ones nerves, and there is a lot of
real difficulty in planning a whole
some variety for each day. The
Chicago-Record Herald has merciful-
ly come to the aid of the puzzled
housewives by printing in each issue
set of three menus. with recipes,
under the title, MEALS for Day."
What is more, it gives for cash prizes
every week for the best of these
menus, and women all over the
country are invited to compete.
The terms of award and the latest
winners may be found in any Mon
day issue of the Record-Herald. That
is the day, too, when the Martha s
Management" column appears with
its helpful hints and advice to cooks
and housekeepers. Marion Harland' s
Sunday page also gives a groop of
selected recipes, which if cut out
each week and kept in a scrap book
will make most valuable collection.
Women not familiar with the prize
menu feature of the Record-Herald
should investigate it at once. Many
have found it handy means of get
ting fresh ideas ard securing cash
for those they already have.

A Useful Present.


A girl who has more inventiveness
than money has hit upon a Christmas
present for her married friends that
may prove suggestive to other dis
tracted givers.
She bought a yard Of red felt two
yards wide and cut it into series of
circles, just straight edges, but to make
the gift more artistic looking the outer
rim may be finely pinked. A yard
makes forty lone circles of medium size,
more when the three sizes are used.
Tied in piles of dozen each with
gay holly ribbon and packed in a fancy
box With the larger circles below and
the smaller on top, these felts make
useful and artistic gifts.
