youngsters, we asked two of them, a
boy and a girl, to go into a side room
from. which they soon emerged draw
ing a sled to which they were har-
messed by red satin ribbons. On the
sled were white crepe paper snow
balls, one for each child. They were
easily made by taking a piece of cot
ton the size and shape of a real snow
ball and covering it with a strip of
white crepe paper 9 inches long and )
wide. The narrow edges are pasted
together and it is then gathered at
the top and bottom. The paper is
stretched in the middle to fit around
the ball of cotton. Then roll the ball
lightly in gum-arabic water and then
roll in diamond dust or what is called
Christmas tree sparkle or snow. Have
a large wreath of holly hung in a door
or arch way and each guest tries to
throw the snow ball through it. AL
those who get theirs through on the
first trial receive a candy cane.
Next we had the game of Christmas
candles. A wee tree brilliantly lii
with tapers is placed on a table just

to be blindfolded, then turn around

Wool Embroidery,

Wool embroidery is the latest trim
ming for afternoon gowns. Some of
the combinations seen are blue wool
on white gazon de sole, gray wool on
gray tulle over satin of the same

The wool used is the same kind
that is employed for knitting or GRO
cheting. On heavier materials 1t is
used in various bright colors in an

roughly sketched with charcoal and

Wheat Needs Moisture.

There is considerable apprehension
among the farmers in the north cen
trail part of the state concerning the
wheat situation as owing to the pro-
longed dry weather the plant is just
holding its own and in many places
yellow spots may be seen in the fields,
indicating that it has already begun
to suffer There has been practically
no roin in that section for nearly
three months, and as consequence
it is very dry, and the farmers are
enxiously waiting for good soaking
rain before freezing weather sets in,
to lay the dust which unless moisture
comes within the next few weeks, is
apt to be blown by the winter winds
and thus, they fear, much of the
wheat may be covered up and killed.
