ma this week.
One afternoon last week several of
Mrs. w. L. Craver' friends gathered
at her home and experienced the joys
of an old fashioned quilting bee. The
dinner served by Mrs. Craver is said
to have been one of the best that ever
happened.
Mrs. H. NJ. Bartlett, assisted by
Mrs. w. H. Gould, entertained six
tables at bridge whist at the Bartlett
home, Saturday afternoon. The ap-
pointments of the FIVE course luncheon
and the decorations of the reception
rooms were made attractive by a
dainty and artistic color scheme of
yellow which was developed with yell
low peoples and dahlias. Prizes were
won by Mrs. Jaegers, Mrs. c. O.
kimball and Mrs. w. B. Wuth.
Mrs. Bartlett is noted for her hospi-
tally and this function was one of the

many at which she has OBLIGATED as
hostess.

social successes of the season. The
ladies were favored with instrumental
selections by Mrs. H. NJ. Bartlett and
Miss Eleanor Staser and Miss Olive
Cooper sang a solo. Refreshments
were served. The function received
its name from the fact that each
guest was expected to contribute a
piece of silver to the piano fund. The
club members resolved to make their
organization permanent and to meet
the last Friday in each month. Every
lady on the Highlands is cordially in
vited to attend these meetings and
need wait no further invitation. An
opportunity will be given at each of
these meetings for contributions to
the piano fund. Mesdames Taylor,
Lott, .Nye, Craver and Keene and
Miss Alma Snider were hostesses and
5000 was added to the fund.

RattIesnakes That Swim.

There is one curious thing that the
o. G. has noticed on the Winnipfseo-
CESS islands-the smaller islands
which are situated say a mile or so
from the mainland-the presence of
mice and once in a while a rat. Now,
the question is, how do these pests
get from the mainland to the islands.
Swim? One old cottager says that he
has a theory that perhaps the parent
rates, or mice, come in luggage, like
packing boxes, that convey the goods
of settlers on the islands Still. it is
possible that they swim from the
mainland The o. c. once told the
story that rattlesnakes now and then
swan from Rattlesnake island to the
mainland shore. Nearly everybody
has laughed at the editor for making
that statement. Well, if you don't be-
lieve it, ask Professor Thyng, the
teacher of drawing in the Manchester
public schools, who owns a piece OF
land on the Clifford shore, or did own
lot there. He will tell you that
rattlesnakes swimming across the lake
are not myth by any means.-Man-

Meriven and Sydney were astounded
at the number of grown-ups present at
the circus. how really fascinating the
circus was to adults and how bewilder-
ing to try to watch the three rings at
one time.
THE girl on that white horse is
marvel. So graceful and supple; she
rides as easily as if she was seated
in a rocking chair. How modest she
is; nothing circusy' about her." said

Hurried Eating.

One of the causes which leads to
over-eatipg, especially among men and
busy people generally, is the haste
which frequently attends their meals.
There is no enemy of oyer-eating like
deliberation. If any of you doubt this,
Just try it! Eat slowly, masticating
your food carefully, and see if you
don't satisfy your appetite with less
than you do when you gulp down each
hurried mouthful. But More time
might be given to eating than is often
granted it by busy persons. You can
not enjoy your food when you eat it
In a rush, and you spoil yourself for
all future enjoyment by upsetting your
digestive apparatus. When you eat
slowly you accomplish two ends, for
you eat less and have more pleasure
IN the process.
