A CRACKER TICKET.

Dear Little Men and Little Women:
often wished to write to you, but I thought
my experiences were not as good as yours.
Now, I have thought of something that
might interest you. One day last winter in
the class we were notified by our teacher
that we were going to have a parents
meeting. There were boys and girls in our
class. We had lemonade, crackers and
cake which the children had brought After
we had finished our lemonade two crack
ers were given to US. The teacher said we
might eat one but should keep the other
until she ate hers. We each ate our one
cracker, and it tasted very good. A few
boys started to nibb1e and taste the Sec
ond one, then another taste and another,
until the whole cracker was gone; but 1
ate only half of mine. Then the teacher
said: Hold out your ticket for piece of
cake" The class stared at her She then
told us to hold out our crackers. Those
that had eaten only one had another crack
er and got slice of cake for it 1 had
eaten mine half way, so 1 was given two
more crackers instead of a slice of cake.

A SCHOOL CARNIVAL.

Dear Little Men and Little Women:
Last October our school held a carnival IN
honor of the Hudson-Fulton celebration
and I thought perhaps you would like to
hear about it We held It in the basement,
and when it was decorated with autumn
leaves, flowers cornstaIks. lanterns and
banners it presented quite festive appear
ance. Each class had room or depart
n1ent over which it had charge. The fresh
men had a gypsy camp; the sophomores'
lunch room: the juniors, historical tab
lears and the seniors. the curios and the
hank. which was the place where silver
was changed into coppers, for nothing but
pennies was accepted at the affair.
OF course, there We're other booths, where
candy. fruit, flowers, fancy articles, etc.
ware sold and besides these there was
Japanese tea room, an ice cream and cake
parlor and an old oaken bucket There ice
cold punch was drawn up from the WE'LL
which looked quite natural in its dress OF
evergreens and brilliant leaves There
were. of course, many -'fake' shows. which
proved rather attractive. In the auditorium,
however, two good farces were going on
alternately, which were we'll worth seeing
When the visitors became tired there were
many cosey corners where they could rest
and enjoy the gay scene. Our carnival
proved quite a success, for we netted a
large sum- which, when divided among the

The Kings Daughters are again organiz-
ing to assist in the tent work of the evan
gelistic committee of New York For the
last six years they have had "neghborhood
circles in nearly every tent centre, and
no branch OF the work has been more
efficient than theirs. according to Orin c.
Baker, the assistant superintendent.
''rhe comfort of the workers and con-
gregation in each centre is largely de-
pendent on the neighborhood circle" he
said. at q meeting of the circles held last
Wednesday at No. SCI Lexington avenue.
THE members supply ice water and flow
ers. mend the hymnals and even sew up
rents in the tent when 1t has been torn by

TIE Adirondack Camp
Here Summer Hotel Crowds Cease from
Troubling and the Impecunious Find Rest.

The Adirondack camp has solved the
yexed problem of summer life for many
a family with limited pocketbook and an
unlimited dislike Of the cheap boarding
houses at the usual summering place.
Twelve years or SO ago, when fruitless
trips had been made to one seaside resort
after another in search of suitable accom-
modations among congenial people for the
meagre sum a week which a country
clersvrnan's pocketbook would stretch to,
an advertisement of furnished cottage on
the shores OF Lake Champlain came to the
notice of one of the family. After a short
correspondence with the owner. in which
no real idea of the character of the scot
tage'' was given. II was decided to risk
one summer in that region. The one sum-
rner was such a success that in the fall the
little property was bought by means of a
mortgage, thereby reducing the rent nearly
one-half and doing away with the yearly
anxiety of where they should go.''
The Adirondack camp" originally a
three-sided hut, the fourth side left open
10 the elements. has come to mean almost
anything in the line of an unplastered and
roughly built cottage-sometimes bunga-
low, low. one-stcried and rambling: at
others a story and half cottage, but al
ways artistic in design and never on the
packing box order. The furnishings of
these camps may be Of the simplest. often
the discarded odds and ends of the winter
home which have been consigned TO the
attic, to make room for more pretentious
and harmonious pieces.

and spirit, to fit up one Of these camps"

Everything should be planned in putting
a summer home of this sort in order with
the sdea Of ease in Housekeeping There
is little dust on the shore Of a great lake

ing a week through the camp is all that
is really necessary The making OF beds

not include a cook. the home keeper should
plan her meals so as to get the greatest
possible amount of nourishmsnt for the

The porch of an Adirondack camp IS in

should be served there. for there is no bet

Take it all in all. II your means are

pleasure out Of summer than to spend
it in an Adirondack camp. on the shore

your own home circle when you please.
and yet find in the not too thickly pOpu-

from the air. II is the change that does
you the most good Then live in the open
as many hours day as possible. and eat

STUFFED EGGS
They Lend VarIety to Picnic
and Luncheon Menzs.

There are many ways in which eggs can
be stuffed to lend variety TO a picnic menu
or to the luncheon fare. For picnlcs the
halves of the eggs, after they are stuffed,
are pressed together again and wrapped in
paraffine paper but for a luncheon they
are placed open side up on a platter, ana
a sauce is served with them
For one variety of picnic eggs the yolks.

be added to this. If desired. Potted beef or
ham, highly seasoned with pepper and salt
makes another appetiZing filing.
Boned sardines, minced fine. with pepper,
salt and a few drops of vinegar, are some
times stuffed in the egg cups. Chicken,
too makes nice filing After boiling the
eggs hard cut them in two. remove the
yolks and press them through sieve MIX

luncheon, put them into small gratin dish
and cover them with a plain cream sauce.
Sprinkle buttered bread crumbs over the
top of the dish and reheat in the oven A
little grated cheese is sometimes ADDED
and olive oil or cream may be used in
place of the melted butter.
For a deviled ham and eggs season the
yolks with dry mustard. pepper and salt
Have ready some rounds of toast ana cup
