ten people in the company. AS ad-
vertised it may be safely said that for

CONYENIENCES FOR
DRESSING ROOMS
That Every Woman Will Be
Pleased to Have.

II you are one of those women who
believe in having "a place for every
thing and everything in its place." and
particularly the most intimate article of
the wardrobe, you will appreciate the
convenience Of owning cases for corset.
negligee and nightrobe, and a lingerie
throw.
Corset cases are oblong affairs Of bag
shape and of portly half-yard long pro-
portions. Their plumpness is due to the
fact that between the outer layer of all
over lace, all-over muslin embroidery,
dotted French Swiss, or embroidered
linen and the inner layer of China silk
of delicate hue is a highly scented wad-
ding of fine cotton, for this corset case
is also a huge sachet, and 1t may be
suspended by wide ribbon hangers from
a bed post or a door knob. .
Negligee cases are three-quarter-yard
squares of basket-woven inch-wide satin
ribbons laid over muslin and bordered all
around with silk or chiffon ruchings.
When not in use, these receptacles are
folded fatty as a napkin, but when in
service one half is laid smoothly over
the other half, the neatly folded negllgee
is placed smoothly between the two COW
ers, and the three edges are then tied
together with ribbon, placed at close in
tervals.
Nightrobe cases are merely enormous
envelopes-say. half yard by a quarteE
yard in size-and of legal shape, made
of satin or taffeta overlaid with all-over
lace muslin embroidery. or an entire deux
or trellis pattern OF Valenciennes inser-
ton and batiste, and they, like the cor
set case, may be suspended from any pro-
lection by ribbon hangers placed at the
two upper corners.

FAMILY PRATTLER
OF MANY SECRETS
When Father Is Supposed to
Be Asleep.
by FRANCES L. GARs1DE.

Although accused in song, fiction, and
women's clubs of being a gay old sport
and carousing around at night, Father,
the big majority of him, is so tired after
his days work that he is the first to>fol-
low the baby to bed at night, and some
times precedes it.
Sometimes he falls asleep and doesn't
hear what is going on, and at other
times he is only half awake, and there
comes to his ears whisperings of Strange
Things. He had imagined in the conceit
with which a man envelopes himself that
the chief joy and ambition of his wife
and children was making Confdant of
Father, but in these half-awake moments
when his family prattles, thinking he IS
asleep, he finds he is no more than an
outsider.
His wife takes down her back hair
telling the children as she does II that
the tonic isn't doing her hair any good,
and hastily adds that they must never
tell Father she bought 1t of peddler
and paid 81 a bottle.
Son played truant that day, but They
Must Never Tell Father; a violin has
been bought for Susan and a stack of
curls for Jane, and Mother broke Fathers
razor, and the pet dog chewed up his
Sunday gloves, but They Must Never
Tell Father; he will know soon enough.
Hears of Extravaganza.
From the time Fathers head strikes
the pillow till the house is quiet he
hears whispers of extravaganza, waste,
of kin coming, of indiscretions, and with
every whisper there is the admonition:
You Must Never Tell Father" After
Father has had several experiences like
these he feels as If he were living on the
outside Of his own fence.
When callers come and ask for Father
they are told he has gone to bed" and
this gone to bed" is said so often of
Father that 1t would make and appropri-
ate inscription for his tombstone.
Called Home" doesn't seem appropri-
ate, since Father is always home every
minute he is allowed TO be, and Gone
Higher" isn't always suitable, but Gone
to Bed fits every Father who ever work
ed hard all day TO support his family, and
was tired out at night.
Moreover, such al inscription would
contain worlds of comfort for the weep
ing widow, for it was when Father was
in bed that she talked with pleasant
freedom to the children, and It was when
Father was in bed that the oldest girls
enjoyed their greatest merriment with
young men in the parlor.

Cat and Adjective CAME.

This is a very simple game. 1t may be
played without preparation, but to make
1t most enjoyable the players should
know Of it a day or so in advance.
The players seat themselves in two
rows, facing each other, and the first
player on one side begins by saying:
sour dear little cat is playful"
Then the player opposite him must
take up the phrase and before the first
player can count ten must substitute
some other adjective beginning with "p''
for playful" thus, "our dear little cat
is pretty" II he fails, he drops out of the
game but If he gives a correct answer
he then counts ten while the second play
er on the other side is getting an an
swer ready.
Thus the phrase passes from one side
to the other until all the players on one
side are out.
The game may be continued for some
time, II desired, by using adjectives be-
ginning with the other letters of the al
phabet.

Soft, Velvety Skin
for Every Woman

THE continued use OF face powders
is responsible for pimples. blackheads,
coarse, rough skins, and sallow COM
plexions," says Mrs. Mae Martyr. writ
ing for the Denver Advocate. "and so
aggravates the unnatural condition that
wrinkles are inevitable.
"By the application of plain spur
max lotion, 1t Is an easy matter to rid
the skin OF all pore-obstructions and
give to It a softness and velgety tex
ture Impossible any other way. This
lotion is splendid for dispelling oiliness,
wrinkles, and restoring the healthy
tint OF youth to the cheeks. Once It
Is tried, powder and rouge will be for

wives who desire to make a change for
the better in the nature of the Thanks
giving feast. Have a centerpiece of
fresh fruit or flowers and see that it is
arranged so as not to obstruct the vision
! Of the guests. When fruit is the motif
for the centerpiece IL must be Of the
homegrown variety to be ID keeping with
the harvest idea that laid the foundation
for the celebration. Large pears and
apples rubbed with a flannel until the
fruit shines, resting in a French basket,
the tall handles of which twined with
grain and vines makes an ideal center
piece. Clusters of green, purple, and
red grapes, alternating with papier
mache turkeys bearing salted nuts cir
cling the basket, will make an attractive
motif as one could desire. The little
turkeys may be set farther out then the
grapes so that each guest can easily
reach one, and the gobblers make hand
some souvenirs of the occasion.
Feathered Celery-Discard all the with
cred foliage, cut off roots and separate
the branches, then scrape free from grit
Cut three paralleled rows on the end with
sharp knife and lay in cold water for
several hours, adding a slice of lemon
The ends will curl back and represent a
feather. The foliage should be left on
the ends If it is small and crisp.
Cranberry Jelly-Instead of having the
cranberry jelly in one large shape, mold
1t individually and arrange the molds
on a glass dish and wreath with large
raisins pumped in orange juice, then
cooled. Or chop pitted dates and mold
them into the Jelly. Oranges sliced and
seeded and peeled, then nodded in the
jelly make pleasant change. Cranberry
sauce is changed by the addition of chop
ped cooked prunes; the two fiavors COM
bining deliciously for turkey Corn pud-
ding is appropriate and is a happy change
from the usual dish served with milk,
or the vegetable may be made into fritz
ters, which will be welcomed by almost
every person.

HOW THE HOMEGIRL

tempting things for the menu might
make a very nice income for herself by
preparing appetizing dishes for shut-ins
InvalidsI get tired of home cookery,
even when it Is the best. Then, too. the
housekeeper Of the home where there is
an invalid is often at her wits ends to
think OF something to tempt the invalid's
tickle appetite. If. now. she could phone
up some one, and order some delicious
little dessert, or nourishing broth or vege-
table, that would be a surprise for the
sick one, or at any rate something differ
ent, It would be a relief to her. Then,
too, the housekeeper does not always
have on hand the materials to make just
a little something which, perhaps, the
rest OF the family do not eat.

STOP THAT COLD

If you are suffering from cold or
catarrh, you should Investigate the
simple Mentholyptus remedy at once
before the trouble becomes chronic.
We have had a great many reme-
dies for colds and catarrh on our
shelves that were considered first
class. Many of these we have tried
ourselves. But we can truthfully
say that we never tried a remedy that
did the work so quickly as Mentho-
lyptus.
Just inhale the pleasant vapor and
use the soothing salve and the in
flammation ceases, the headache is
stopped-and the cold IS gone!
Now our friend and patrons know
that we would not guarantee any
remedy unless we knew all about it.
We have investigated Mentholyptus
pretty carefully and we are so con-
fident 1t will reach your case that
if it fails to do exactly as represented
it will not cost you cent.
Even if you have no cold now,
you had better drop in and investi-
gate this wonderful remedy. An
ounce of prevention is better than a
pound of cure and it will certainly
pay you to know about this great
discovery. G, Perry, Druggist.
