! try this plan: At large meeting of
college fraternity, the chairman Of
the social committee requested each
one who was to be presented to send
her the name in full. There we're
nearly so people present and there
were tally cards tied with the fraterni-
ty colors, each having large number.
On the reverse side of the cards given
the men were the names of the girls
present and the girls cards had the
names of the men. The acting hostess
explained that there would be no
formal introductions, that when man
or girl thought he or she had dis
covered who was who" the name, or
rather the number opposite the name,
was to be marked. To the one who
made the largest number of correct"
acquaintances prize was awarded,
and there were special prizes for dis
covering the fads or peculiarities OF
guests. This is really most jolly
and effective method of placing a
large number of strangers at their

A Tramp Party.


Nov, for tramp party" exclaimed
the clever matron to whom we all
looked for novel sensations when it
came to entertaining, and Wen COM
bine it with penny walk"
So last year just about this time the
party was given which | am about to
describe. 1t hardly seems possible
that it has been almost a twelve
month since the above remarks were
made 1t was not practical to use the
suggestion for the department then, so
/ have waited for the glorious Sep
TENDER days to return.
The invitations were issued on
brown wrapping paper sealed with red
wax and the time was Saturday after
noon at three sharp" The guests
were told to wear tramping costumes
and each man to bring bright. new
penny. OF course, all this excited
curiosity. There were just eight cou-
pies and the hostess saw that each
couple was congenially mated. II was
II lovely suburban place with winding
streets, hills and dales; just the place
for this party.
The men compared watches and
the hostess explained that they were
60 walk for one hour, all making the
start together, but at the very first
corner each man was to toss his pen
ny to decide the direction he and his
partner were to take. Heads meant
To go to the right, tails" to the left.
AZ every corner, the penny was to de-
eide the direction. Instructions were
given to write three-minute descrip-
ton of the walk. The first couple to
arrive at the expiration of the hour
was to have a reward, and every min
ute overtime was to be paid for in
pennies at the rate of one a mimi e.,
the money going to the hostess pet
charity fund
A half hour late would bar from
competition in the prize stories. 1t
was very jolly, hungry party that
arrived and very amusing stories re-
suited which were read or related by
the "tramps" around the table when a
most bountiful supper was served.
The hostess used small tables, seat
ing four persons at each, and the day
being warm, the repast was served on
the porch, which was made a perfect
bower of golden rod decked with wild
lavender asters that bloom so plenti-
fully now. All you have to do to find
this wealth of autumn glory is to go
by street car or railroad about score
of miles into the country. After sup
per a fire was built in the fireplace
and candles lit, the men smoked and
the girls discussed winter plans. All
left at eight O'Clock, delighted with
the tramp party.
Country hostesses in search of a
novelty may be sure of a delightful
success in giving a party along these
lines.

one afternoon" said school teacher
who had just returned from abroad.
1T was dusk when we reached the
railway station. and as there was no
waiting room we sat down on two
crates that were out on the platform
among a lot of others. We noticed
that the station employees kept staring
at us with persistence that was an
noying. Presently a man in shabby
uniform with a bucket on his arm APP
preached us. He touched his cap
deferentially and said-in French, of
course:

Way TO Find Partners.


OF course, it was the pretty little
wife of a newspaper editor who tried
this way of mating partners for a
large progressive party. She took
lads" from the Sunday paper and
pasted them on dainty cards, distribut-
ing them so that every want would
be supplied. For instance: Wanted
Young girl, not over 16, to learn
bookkeeping in the office of a whole
sale house" was answered by the guest
who held the lad" saying that a young
girl wished to learn bookkeeping.
Choosing these ads" cleverly re-
suits in a very funny time before the
real business of the evening begins, or
should | say entertainment" To tell
the truth, have been TO some parties
lately that make the word business
seem more appropriate than anything
else, for the way some women play
bridge and other games causes me to
think that the ultimate end of parties,
recreation and pleasure has been for
gotten. Nowadays entertaining seems
like real work not only for the hostess,
but for the guests.

moral consideration we will never
know because commercially we can
not take such risks.
Apples should be picked in medium
sized baskets and not bruised. This
means that they must be placed in
the baskets by hand and neither
dropped nor tossed. They should be
hauled in these same baskets on a
spring wagon to the packing stand.
Do not pour them in a box there but
sort them from the basket. The fol-
lowing is the procedure with us: A
basket of apples is placed on the
table directly in front of the sorter.
Around this is grouped four empty
baskets. There are four grades-Nc.
1, No. 2, culls and castaways, or as
we say, mill culls. These grade bas-
kets should always occupy the same
relative position so the sorter
through habit will place each grade
where it belongs.

BABYs WATERY ECZEMA.

Cured by cuticura for $3.50.

when my little boy was two and a
half months old he broke out on both
cheeks with eczema. 1t was the itchy,
watery kind and we had to keep his
little hands wrapped up all the time,
and if he would happen to get them
uncovered he would claw his face till
the blood streamed down on his cloth
ing. We called in physician at once,
but he gave an ointment which was so
severe that my babe would scream
when 1t was put on. We changed
doctors and medicine until we had
spent fifty dollars or more and baby
was getting worse. / was so worn out
watching and caring for him night and
day that almost felt sure the disease
was incurable. But finally reading of
the good results of the Cuticura REM
edies, l determined to try them. I
can truthfully say. / was more than
surprised, for l bought only dollar
and half's worth of the Cuticura
Remedies (Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and Pills), and they did more good than
all my doctors medicines 1 had tried,
and in fact entirely cured him. His

specks in Butter.

The white specks in butter are due
to poor ripening OF the cream, says
the Epitomist.
Some of the cream has "wheyed off,
and decomposed and the casein has
gathered in clots and the whey has
separated from the cream. These
clots of curd will not churn out. They
remain in the butter as clots and al
ways look white. Artificial coloring
has no effect upon them, and winter
or summer they spoil the looks of the
butter. Greater care in ripening the
cream is called for. but even in
creameries there are times when
these colorless clots form and the
sure way to do is to strain the cream
into the churn. Then the clots do not
get into the churn and are not found
in the butter.

When apples are scarce ii is very
important TO conserve them to best
advantage. So very many families
are without apples during most of
the winter. Often persons remark to
me that they had quite a lot of ap-
plies at gathering time. but they
wouldn't keep. Now why is this? We
know it is the business of sound
apple to keep till its cell structure is
broken down by over-ripening. I'M
less interfered with by an outside
agent. This agent may be a bruise.
a rotten apple or too great warmth.
Apples do not rot through pure Gus
sedness. The farmer will drive his
jolt wagon into the orchard and then
pick and pour into it apples Of vari-
Gus varieties and every conceivable
grade of rottenness and soundness.
writes Joe A. Burton in Farmers Re-
view. When the box is full. all the
pickers sit on the apples while they
are driven to the place of deposit.
The pickers are on the apples with
their feet while they scoop up with
both hands half a dozen at time
The Yale expositor., 1909-10-22

and roughly throw them into the bas-
ket. When the basket is full, 1t is
dragged across the apples on its way
TO the bin. If there were any sound
apples they are probably bruised or
bcsmirched with rot and compelled to
lie against a rotten neighbor. No
wonder "our apples wouldn't keep"
If few did try to keep. the children
dug them out first. trying to find a
possible one to take to school.
The farmers apples belong to him
and he has just so many, whether
they are in one pile or four piles. If
he will properly sort them out he will
find one pile ought to go to the hogs
at once. another is good for present
use in the house. another can be used
q little later and the sound ones kept
for winter. He ought to know that a
rotten apple is already past useful
ness, a specked one will soon be rot
ten. as will also a sound one if asso-
ciated with a rotten one.

MoIes No. Enemies.

Much complaint is and always has
been made of destruction in gardens
and fields by moles. This seeming
destruction is only apparent, for the
mole does more good than it does
harm. The most harm that it does
is in blowing up the lawn and soil in
cultivated places, allowing it to dry
out in summer and causing the plants
on the ridges to wither and die in
dry weather.

INCREASE in
STOCK RAISING
Noteworthy Feature in Industry
Is Improvement of Breeds
IN All Kinds of
Animals.

In the past several years American
cattle breeders have sent some of their
finest blood to the Argentine Republic,
South America, and that country has
been rapidly improving its native
breeds with this better blood. The
American consul in Buenos Ayres
writes that the country is rapidly in.
creasing its cattle and regularly ex-
ports beef to English markets. In
1895 there were 21.791,5 head of cat
tie there and in 1908 there were 30
1865 head. AS compared with other
countries Argentina ranks third in the
number of cattle Russia. with 81
600 600 head, stands first, and the
United States follows with 69.OOO.OOO
head.
A noteworthy feature in the stock
raising industry is the improvement
of breeds of all classes of animals. In
the last cattle census II was found
that "a per cent. of the entire mum
her were thoroughbreds, and 51.7 per
cent were improved crossbreeds. II
was found that many fields that had
heretofore been sown to wheat were
now devoted to cattle raising on in
tensive principles Of the industry. The
value of the cattle Of Argentina Is es-
,,mated at 1928, 6S5, 1874. Diseases of
cattle and other live stock have been
combated so successfully that the dis
eases are either stamped out or con-
fined 10 isolated cases and to small
territorial areas.
