For Crystal Wedding.

Fo" crystal wedding decorations use as
much glass as possible. For the center
piece of the table use low crystal bow
filed with white or pale pink carna tons
or roses, unless YOU prefer a block of ice
With snilaX twined about it or one
o. the pretty glass globes filed with
partridge berries. If YOU serve a regular
supper you can have raw oysters in ice
cups, followed by deviled crabs. which
may be purchased in tins with shells
ready to be filled, then daintily garnished
with water CFess.
Follow with chicken en- casserole or
fried chicken with creamed potatoes and
hot biscuits after which lemon jelly or
pineapple ice, accompanied by assorted
cakes with white or light pink icing and
decorations. This will complete an appe-
tiZing menu.
OF course. the ice or jelly will be served
in glasses. The candlesticks and dishes
must be OF glass. II you do not wish as
elaborate refreshments. chicken salad.
bread and butter sandwiches and ice and
cake will be enough. A fruit punch can
be served in crystal glasses.
For entertainment there could be moth
ing jollier than soap bubble contest.
Soap bubble parties are fad in England
this winter, as both young and old are
enthusiastic over the pastime.
In preparing for a soap bubble party
provide large table, covering it with a
rubber sheet so it may not be damaged
by soapy water.
Blowing materials for each guest should
include bowls of soapy water. allowing
one for every two players. who work in
pairs, 4 clay pipe for each with a few
extras to allow for breakages. one or two

course the soap suds is the first consider

A good soap bubble liquid is made by

allowing to each pint of water one gill of
glycerin and an ounce of white CASTLE
soap. This should be thoroughly mixed
and allowed to dissolve and settle. Then
the liquid can be reduced as required,
using more water. Among the tricks that
can be played with soap bubbles the fol-
lowing have been commended to me:
Poached egg-Pour thin film of the
soapy solution upon sheet of glass, dip
a straw and blow upon the glass a good
sized hemispherical bubble. Next. ac-
cording to directions, man blower takes
pull at his pipe or cigarette while the
straw is being redipped and the second
bubble blown within the first the second
being inflated with smoke instead of air
The result is a white, solid-looking hemi-
sphere within an envelope glittering with
all the colors of the rainbow.
Other tricks include blowing bubble
in the air. then catching it with two rings
of soaped wire, pulling the bubble into
barrel-shape or blowing a bubble over a
flower by placing the flower i'm n saucer
ntaining some of the soap solution
Over the flower place "A funnel and blow
down the tube. meanwhile beginning to
gradually raise the funnel. As soon as a
large bubble is formed, disengage it from
the funnel 10y carefully turning the latter
at right angles, meantime applying the
finger to the opening of the tube to pre-
vent the escape of air.

bubbles blown and for the worst

This change is due to the heavy en-

that the high schools are now complying

officio, the title of surgeon general and

predecessors in that Office have been al
wavs addressed as admiral" DIR. Rixey
has, therefore, been always known as

titled to that designation.

Prefers to Be Known as Doctor.

The present surgeon general apparently
has no special pride in the matter of his
prorer official title. He holds that as
h, is not a real bona fide admiral, 1t is
not fitting that he bear that title. He pre-
fers to be called Dr. Stokes. His wishes
in that respect have been made known to
his official associates and will be re-
spected.
His course in this matter is especially
significant from the fact that President
Roosevelt in 1907. placed him in actual
command OF the hospital ship Relief, de-
spite the vigorous and almost unanimous
protest of the officers OF the line.
