The Coebel Banquet

OF December 3, at the Waterbury
home, by the Bay View Literary
Club was big credit to the ladies
and their guests who gathered to
pay honor to Miss Grace Goebel.
An atmosphere of sociability and
congeniality prevailed the entire
evening. Written quotations were
cut in two, placed in two baskets,
mixed up, and one basket passed to
the gentlemen, the other to the
ladies. The patching of these gems
assigned the partners to partake Of
the delicious menu.
Mrs. A. l.. Taylor, the dignifed,
affable, gracious toastmistress Of
the evening, called forth such senti.

as would have done credit to any
august assemblage. The response
in quotations were literary selections

evening How to select and cook q

toast offered to the guests by Mrs,
A. S. White, in which she said, "A

spoiled by mismanagement in cook.
ing, and so are not tender and
good. Some women keep them con.
stantly in hot water, some freeze
them, some put them in a stew;
others roast them and still Others
keep them in a pickle. 1t cannot
be supposed that any husband will
be tender and good managed in this
way. But they are really delicious
people when properly treated. In
selecting your husband you should
not be guided by the silvery ap-
pearance, as in buying mackerel,
nor by the golden tint, as if you
wanted salmon, nor should you
choose him on the wing like the
ducks at Palomas. Be sure and
select him yourself as tastes differ,
Do not go to the market for him, as
those bought at the door are always
best. 1t is far better to have none
than not to learn how to cook them
properly. 1t does not make so much
difference what you cook him in
as how you cook him. See that the
linen in which he is wrapped is white
and nicely mended with the requir.

Don't keep him in the kettle 10y

If proper care is taken. II he splut'

put him in the freless cooker. and
do not be anxious, for he can get
neither too hot nor too cold. Add
little sugar in the form of what
confectioners call kisses" but no
vinegar or lemons on any account.
Likewise avoid red peppers for he
should not be seasoned like frijoles.
A little spice improves them, but il
must be used with judgement. Do
not try him with anything sharp to
see If he is becoming tender. Stir
him gently the while but do not beat
him as you would eggs. II he stay
too long in the kettle he will become

the proper time. Thus treated you
will find him very digestable, agree
ing with you nicely, and he will
keep as long as you like"
Miss Marguerite Goeble sang very
prettily The japanese Love Song"
Mr.. Lee Thomas caused great
amusement in reciting Bridget as
a School Teacher. Upon personal
request Mrs. Taylor recited in her
charming manner, The Dutch

This was followed by Mendelsso-
