A chIId,s Birthday Party.

A children's party is not always in
easy one to arrange; but the pleas
ure it gives the little people more than
repays one for all the trouble.
OF course. there must be ice cream;
II would be no party without It,
a simple plain ice cream Is the
best for them, not too rich or served
with a sauce. If one can afford some
thing a little elaborate. 1t is nice to
serve the cream in spun sugar nests.
These may be bought or made at
home and add an elegance TO the dish
OF cream which is a delight to child.
Very pretty little cakes may be pre-
pared by using the angel food recipe
and piping the mixture through a pos
try tube on to the baking sheets in
any desired form, then bake a delicate
brown
Next to cake in importance to the
palate Of the child Is the sandwich.
They are sure to like sandwiches.
Sweet ones may even take the place
of cake. Homemade bon-bons are al
ways a treat and are much more
wholesome than the kind bought at
the confectioners.
A great variety of them may be
made with the fondant, favored. They
may be dipped in melted fondant, fla
vored and colored.
To make the fondant, boil two and
one-half pounds OF sugar and a cupful
of water, half teaspoonful OF cream
of tartar, without stirring, until II
forms a soft waxy ball In water. Turn
out on a mable slab or large PLATTER
and when cool work with wooden
spoon until ceramy. Put II into a
bowl, and let II stand covered for a
day to ripen. It is then ready to make
into any desired candy.
The charm of the party will not be
fully appreciated until the birthday

~ NE of the saddest things in life.
~ IL perhaps, is the sight of an
American tourist in West
W minister abbey. Unconvention-
al as he may be in thousand
things, the American is the most con-
ventional OF mortals I'm his attitude to-
ward the historic show places of Eu-
rope. There is but one proper way to
view monument, one proper opinion
10 express in regard to II. This is de-
termined by tradition and, in the case
of the abbey the Washington Irving
tradition is the one that must be re-
garded hundred years ago Irving
established residence within the
wall OF the old minister and pro
ceeded to write some very charming,
albeit a little florid. prose regarding
Its architecture and It's memorials.
His expressed feeling toward II was
one of reverence and awe and melan-
choly, of admiration and respect. Now,
this was both correct and natural In
Irving's time, but that was before the
day when visitors crowded the aisles
like cattle at the herding, when the
walls we're placarded with instructions
and warnings, even as the motor
buses that pass the door are placard-
ed with advertisements, and before
youthful vergers lined up the curious
ln companies and collected sixpence
apiece for personally conducting them
through the royal chapels. The at
mosphere today. indeed, is not conduc-
i've to meditation and reverential ec-
stasy; the abbey is as much a show
place as the Albert Memorial or Earls
Court and the sad sight referred TO
above is that OF the hurried, bustling
tourists OF the twentieth century try
ing to adapt themselves to the tradi'
tional pose OF reverence and awe ere

The suggestion that Florence Night

but that the honor given them, except
in two or three cases was for no spe

rested there or the monument was
raised to them because they were the
wives or daughters Of this dignitary
or that, one taking the room for nc
more valid reason than that she was
the spouse Of an estimable gentleman
who was for a time organist OF the
church. Two exceptions there were
indeed-the one, Jenny Lind, the 9th

are of small comparative size and
value. while to this or that lady of the
court has been erected an imposing

Look at the Dictionary

Immediately.
Just to illustrate the closeness with
which the other people are watching
even the smallest bits of possible error
made by the Pioneer Express, we have
an example in which gentleman at
Neche took exceptions to the word
Immediate as applied to the "total' in
our table of cost of a new court house.
He called attention to the item referring
to "the interest on twenty year bonds"
and said that was not Immediate"
OF course, the gentleman had forgot
ten, or did not desire, to look at his
dictionary or he would have discovered
that while the word Immediate" is
often ussd in connection with time yet
IN itself it never means time. The
synonyms given by Webster are "proxi-
mate" "close," "near," "direct," any of
which words might be used in the con-
nection he cited with practically the
same meaning. The word ''immedia e.
ly" however is nearly always used as a
measure of time. The meaning of the
two words is illustrated by the following
examples; The immediate members of
