far of before a gate, and the door opened instantly, and someone came out "a mere slipping, sliding bundle, with little laughs escaping from it And someone's mother called: Now do be keerful, you John, and don't keep her out too late !"
 And your bundle being safely tucked in, you discovered that the feecy-white head wrappings left exposed two sweet eyes and a little red mouth, and your heart pounded so you were afraid she'd hear it And, too, though her left hand was mittened. the right one was bare-a girl needs always one bare hand to ar range her wraps properly from time to time
 Then, after bit of silent driving, you grew anxious about that hand, and had to touch it to find if 1t was warm, and then had to hold it to keep 1t warm
 The "Showin'-of'' Stage
 Lordl Lord Don't you remember her calling attention to little wisps of steam rising from Billy's Hanks, and how you drew down bit2 And certain-you re- member how you used to watch the ar rival of other couples, and judged by the condition of the horse, how far along the driver had got in his spark ing? A stcaming, used-up animal meant either lovers quarrel or just the be- ginning of the game, while the boy was yet in the "showin' of" stage.
 But horse that was dry and comfort able, without a turned hair, was the equivalent of an announced engagement.
 The Hall
 And that hall-with the boughs of hemlock and spruce around the walls and he he reHe haf them. and the musicians at one end on a platform The girls.who had burst from their bundling wraps, like butterflies, huttered on the benches or chairs against the walls, gently touching their hair, and feeling for certain bows and buckles, and when the men came in, sud- denly breaking into animated discussion with one another.
 Then the music began and slippered feet tapped, and fingers beat time on knees, and the wait was so ghastly, that at last, with burning ears and hurried breath, you went over to someone and asked for the pleasure" and after that -oh, well, such a nightl
 The Homeward Drive
 Squares, waltzes, Virginia reels, cross- overs, forward-fours, dos dos, cheat your partners, swing to sides, ladies' changes, and all hands round Oh, it was such a delicious hodge-podge, through which you followed the turing eyes, that like will-of-the-wisps led you wherever someone willed-
 And that homeward drivel When there seemed to be just you and some one, and Billy, in the whole pure white world. flooded with stainless moonlight And the bells danced, and you were SO afraid. the old buffalo robe might slip down that you had to put your arm about someone and hold it tight. And once sorrel Billy threw back the snow from his hoofs so hard that someone had actually to put her kcad down on your shoulder to protect her face.

A Pretty Christmas-Cake

A Christmas cake will be doubly att tractivc to the children if Merry Xmas" is traced with iciEg about the sides or top. The loaf cake should first be cov- cred with thick coating of icing, pre- ferably colored rcd and favored with strawberry or rcd raspberry. A white icing for the decoration and lettering can have a delicate flavor of vanilla. The scrolls, leaves and lettering can be formed with the use of a cornucopia made of very stiff paper, scwed together and the point clipped to any sized open ing desired.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-12-22

One will require small hole for the lettering, while larger. ore will be bet ter for the filling. The icing IS placed il the corrucopia, and by gently press ing from the side near the top as ono guides the coTnucopia over the cakes the icing will ooze through the small end. The inexperienced hand should first trace the letters with knitting needle across the firm coat of icing.
 Icings and Flavorings
 There is nothing that equals the boiled icing, and by boiling the sugar and water without stirring until 1t spins threads when run off spoon or fork. then turning this sirup on the whites of the eggs, which have been whipped dry, then beaten until cold, one will have a delicious covering. A half teaspoonful of cream of tartar put into the sugar and water prevents suSarinS.
 Stewed cranberry juice, red currant, raspberry or strawberry jeliies or beet juice will produce any shade of red or pink, and should be put into the sugar ard water before 1t begins to boil. Five cents worth of red and green vegetable co.oring purchased at a reliable drug store will give one enough material for a family for six months. When pur chasing say that 1t is wanted for food coloring. ard this will assure getting vegetable and not a mineral preparation.
 An Uncooked Icing
 An uncooked icing that will keep moist for several days is made by using con- fectioners' sugar, which is also known in stores as -four K" adding enough sweet cream until it is moist enough to spread without running. Add the flavor ing and roll out all Jumps in the sugar before wetting. For this icing the col bring should be put in alternating with the cream. If it becomes too thin add more sugar.

ADVICE TO WOMEN.
A Message from Famous Beauty
Specialist to Women Lacking
in Energy and Vitality.

Thousands Of women vainly at
tempt to improve their compilations
and to remove blackheads, crows ,
feet and other blemishes, through the
use of cosmetics. This treatment
fails because the trouble lies far
deeper than the skin. They are suf-
fering from impure and impoverished
blood. This condition is in many
cases due to a catarrhal condition of
the whole system which finds its ex-
preston in sallow, mr. 7dy complex
ion, dark-circled eyes, general weak
ness of the sys' en-, and perhaps most
plainly in the weeping Of mucous
membranes that is commonly called
catarrh.
In fact this whole tendency IS,
properly speaking, Catarrh. Banlsh
this catarrh, and the complexion will
clear as if by magic, eyes will brigh-
ten, faces become rosy and shoulders
erect. Perefct beauty goes only with
perfect health. and perfect health for
women can only be obtained through
one certain treatment-that which
will cure catarrh.
Nine. Swift. New York, the famous
beauty specialist known throughout
the world and an accepted authority
on all relating thereto, states that the
one positive and permanent relief
for catarrh is Rexall Mucu=Tone.
Here is her letter:
"I can strongly endorse the claims
made for Rexall Mucu-Tone as cure
for systematic catarrh. It's tonic ef-
fects are remarkable. It builds up
the strength and restores vitality. If
women who are tired and run down,
lacking in energy and vitality, Will
use Rexall Mucu-Tone, they will

Almost every sentence of Mr..
Taft : speech at the banquet was in
terrupted with applause. His re-
marks were filed with local allusiens.
He reminded the banqueters that this
was his sixth visit to Charleston and
that in coming here his reception was
not simply that of another hospitable
Southern city, but that this was like
coming home, where he already had
friends who knew him and whom ne
knew. He repeated his belief that
Charleston is the best Of all ports
from which to embark for Panama,
revived entertainingly his experien-
ces on his present tour Of the coun-
try. and paid a high tribute to Con-
gresham Legare Of this city.
In closing, Mr.: Taft said:

the delightful cities of the South with
its magnificent traditions, with its
enormous possibilities and with its
intense loyalty. I hope to come here

those residences ard those other

of Artistic Decorations.
The State.
Charleston, Nov. 5.-The Taft din
ner tonight at the Charleston hotel
was probably the most elaborate and
splendidly gotten up affair that has
been given in Charleston, SURPRISING
the many big dinners of the past
(which is saying much. The dinner
WAS served in the big dining hall
whose walls were tastefully draped
>. with national flags and festooned with
Funning greens. The sldeboards
were rich in their polished mirrors
and bright glassware, showing to ad-
vantage the beautifully frescoed cell IL
inc Of the hall. The place was bril-
1iantly lighted.
It was, however, the table arrange
ments whose artistic decorations won
the admiration Of the banqueters as
they entered the hall to the strains
of music by an orchestra. The ta-
bles were arranged somewhat IN the
form of the lines Of an inverted urn
or perhaps it may be called sort
of"V" shape. In the hollow square
was a lovely sunken garden creation
A tiny fountain sent forth a hne
spray, falling over several eolored
Globes. while in the top glass could
he seen small fish swimming about.
The spray added a richness to the
green foliage, further heightened by
the small incandescent lamps sklrt1ng

were the fine palms and ferns, soften
inc the effect Of the electrical dis
play.
Roses ani Palms.
The corners Of the room were
adorned with beautiful palms and the
odor of the handsome roses mingled
with white and pink carnations on
the table were added evidence of the
garden effect to all entering the din
ing hall.
The table arrangement provided
for the banqueters, to face the dis
tinguished guest Of the evening. He
had position in the centre Of what
might be called the base Of the urn,
overlooking the garden. Covers
were laid for about 200 diners. An
excellent card system Of sitting the
banqueters was observed. In accor-
dance With the expressed wish Of the
president, Chairman Lapham arrang-
ed his plans TO have the dinner COM

speech of the president with the brief
Introductory of Mayor Rhett was the

cunningly fastened a rope about his
neck, tied him up to a tree which

Make Good Husbands.

Countess Carle Dentici Di Frasso
who was Miss Georgiana Wilde, and
formerly lived in ST. Louis, says that
foreigners are much kinder to their
wives than the Americans. Her bus-
band works as hard as any American
man, she says, having his business
and being a member of parliament
And yet he finds time TO come home
for luncheon and see his wife sew
eral times during the day. The dis.
tances in Italy, she says, are Just as
great as in New York and an Amer.
ican business man would never think
of going home to luncheon. A Euro.
pean man in politics depends upon his
wife's aid TO further his aims and
when in business he reasons that two
heads are better than one. and is will
ing to concede that his wife's inteIIi.
gence is equal to his own This men.
tai intimacy, she says, makes the mar
riage of American girls and foreigners
as a general thing, very pleasant and
is the reason for fewer divorces abroad
than in this country.
