| feast were primitive. Sunf1owers and
| mint formed the centerpiece of the
supper table, arranged in an old jelly
tumber and the festal board itself
was the broad side of packing box.
The chairs had rough tags with the
guests names and some verses. The
hostess had these lines marking her
place:
Mother made these killing rhymes
More Of Jingle than of BALLAD;
Daughter made the sandwiches,
Also the chicken salad
Ina Gap cook makes mistakes
And many blunders rare;
Father makes a hullabaloo
Unless he gets his chair.
Guests will make allowances
For the lack of dishes,
Knowing that the prompt OF all
Is love and best OF wishes.

H S.: For a quick drying home shampoo
simply dissolve a teaspoonful of canthroX in
a teacupful hot water Pour on the hair and
rub well. Canthrox makes a rich and plenti-
full lather that thoroughly cleanses the scalp

fluffy. Every article mentioned in my re-
cipes is carried in stock by druggists, and

important step in securing good complex

from your druggist ounces of spurmax,
dissolve 1t in a half-pint of warm water and
add teaspoonfuls of glycerine. If applied
in the morning your complexion will not
need retouching the whole day long. 1t is
a true beautifer and is widely used in pref
