For Various Parties.
Simple Birthday Party.

For simple refreshments easily served I
would suggest:
Hot Oyster Patties with Cold Slaw in
Lemon Cups.
Lettuce and Prune Salad with Mayor
naise.
Bread and Butter. Olives, Sailed Nuts.
Ice Cream with Ginger Pears.
Birthday Cake.
Coffee.
Use .'pussy willows' for decorations.
and for souvenirs at each plate place a
little fluffy chicken or duckling.
For q Stag Dinner.
At a stag dinner given last year by
Young woman for her husband and
brother the decorations were so original
that you may like to follow them. In the
center Of the round table was placed
large cut glass tobacco jar filled with
loose tobacco On top Of this was little
bisuue doll dressed like ballet dancer,
with spreading skirts.
A circle of small playing cards was ar
ranged to form a centerpiece. and from
this radiated q row of cards to each
plate, forming a wheel.
Corncob pipes were stacked at each
corner of the table. and at each cover
were tiny beer stems and little sample
bottles of wine as souvenirs The menu
was a substantial one. such as men like.
1t consisted of bouillon, thick sirloin
steak. with French fried potatoes, string
beans, endive salad with Camembert
cheese and waters, a frozen fruit pudding
and black coffee.
This is an easy dinner to prepare and
serve even without a maid.

A Number of Things.

TNNUMERABLE are the points OF
fashion that concern the woman OF
today. and there is a certain hating
p tendency in the early season, fol-
lowed by such a rapid and deter
mined march that the eyes of an expert
only can settle upon certain decided tend
encies exploited by the makers, and she
alone can average them up and give
forth the general achievements.
Women wait for the styles-they actu-
ally wait-and it is not an unwomanly
act, since they do it the whole way
round the globe. They rest awhile and
suspend operations on the certain gar
ment they have in mind until they find
out what they may or may not wear.
The feminine anxiety is just as great
whether the gown in question be paint
ed chiffon or a cotton print.

Some Small Flowers.

"THE larger the hat the smaller the
flowers" remarked an observing
woman the other day. OF course, the
f1Ower-trimmed hat is an established fact.
Summer glory is never quite SO happily
epitomized when the colors and form
of the garden and field are Haunted on

The latest importation of models en-
phasizes the diminutive flowers. Lilies
of the valley are extremely popular. They
are used In punches on large, fiat hats in
which the white tone predominates Then,
again, the lilies are fashioned into en-

When combined with pale green leaves

grasses rise at the side, giving height
and the lines of the aigrette without the
necessary cruelty entailed.
Tiniest roses are used as an entire fac
ing on some hats, and this can be on
either under or upper surface. Buds are
favored for the disks, while the Old-time
outline the crowns of hats Of the Eugene
type.

new notes, by the way-while the tiny
square outline at the neck is filled in
with embroidered net. A cording is used
to edge sleeves and yoke, and gives a
neat heading for the deep-fgured portion
on the skirt.
You will notice that the sleeves are
slightly more bell-shaped on these new
models, allowing graceful fall of the
lace or net undersleeve. And the three
quarter length is the most highly ia
vored.
In this there are used pleats on the
lower section of the skirt, an idea that
can be adopted If material be plentiful.

GOOD MAN FOR ASSESSOR.

The Recorder would like to say a
word for one candidate on the re-
publican ticket and that is e. G..
Isenburg for assessor. He had a
sub-contract on the Idaho Irrigation
Company canals last year, and was
in Richfield quite a bit during the
season. He paid more than the reg
ular wage scale he treated his
men and his horses as a Christian
and a gentleman should, and he is
a safe, sane, honorable man through
and through. He was in the coun-
ty clerks office for year, but had
to take some outdoor work for his
health He is farmer on the Min
idoka tract, but man of education
and ability in office work. A vote
for him will not be misplaced.

A JOINT DISCUSSION.
Hear the two Sides of County Div
sion Discussed Saturday Night

The people of-the Richfield tract,
believing that their own interest and
their own information would be
enough to shom them what is best
for themselves, had planned and ad-
vertised citizens meeting on the
question of county division, to be
held Saturday night, and no out
siders welcome AS the sentiment is
pretty well divided, it would have
been a joint debate on the question
at issue The anti-divisionists de-
sired a meeting, and asked for the
same evening. Rather than appear
inhospitable they were asked to
come on, and by inviting speakers
on the other side make it a joint
debate ,as it would have been had
the citizens held it. Fur may be
expected to fly in quantities and it
will be worth while to attend.
