GERMAN CLUB IN PANToMIME.
Professor Represents 100-yard Sprin.
ter in German Contest.

eSi III SVII SOIllCSls
A pantomime entertainment was
given by the German club after the
regular program last night. One of
the members would make certain IA
miliar motions, as in the picking
grapes game of the grade school, and
the others would guess what was rep
resented.
When one of the professors bent
down on his hands and one knee in
the position of 100-yard sprinter and
then ran across the room, the German
word for runner, athlete and sprinter
were suggested. And when two stu
dents-one of them a girl-prome-
naded back and forth they were called
the lovers, the young married couple,
and members of the campus club.
The most amusement was caused by
girl trying to represent sweeping.
Several members guessed that she
had golf club or a switch, but no
one thought of broom.
The regular program was: Die

and economic form of taxation is that

Cocoa butter is the most satisfac-
tory emollient for "plumping' the
flesh. 1t should be slightly warmed
before being used, and the skin
should be soft and clean before ap-
plying it or it will not be absorbed.
Thin shoulders may be treated with
advantage to gentle massage with
cocoa butter.
Very attractive plaques for the
table are made of crystal and silver,
with lace or embroidery dolly be-
tween the two parts of the glass.
They are round or oval, and are to
be seen in large variety of sizes
and designs. The two sections of
glass are held in the filigree silver
frame with screws together, and
the doilies are placed between the
glass plaques. They are used for
centerpieces, finger bowl stands
and for hot dishes.
Cooked fats of meats are more
difficult to digest than the fats Of
milk, cream, oils and nuts.
To serve two starchy vegetables,
such as sweet and white potatoes,
at one meal, is one form of waste.
Rice and macaroni must be boiled
rapidly in large quantity of water;
slow cooking makes them soggy.
Il Steaming vegetables is more eco
EEomicaI than boiling them, because
there is no loss by absorption in
water.

"Now that spelling has been re-
vised," laughed Arthur Bates,
there's only one way for us to
achieve fame, Flora, and that's by
revising the dictionary"
"All right; let's do it," pretty
Flora Price smiled back at him.
"Where is the ponderous toner"
questioned Arthur, and when she
had pointed out the volume to him
he brought it to the big table and
placed it directly under the student
lamp.
"Of course" suggested Arthur,

For a moment the girl appeared
to be on the verge of saying some
thing, but she thought better of the
matter and remained silent. eif

murmured Arthur, turning the
leaves of the dictionary rapidly.
Presently he laughed gleefully

ments. Again he passed the sheet
