FOR A cHiLDREN's PARTY.
BY Martha Mcculloch Williams.
Suppose you try giving the children
q paper-bag cooked party. On such an
occasion, the paper bag comes ga1ly
into it's kingdom. Not the used bag,
but one holding something cooked In
another bag, or else roguishly am
bushing gift.
For such ambushing, splotch bags
literally with color or else, decorate
them with gilt and silver stars, pasted
on the sides, and tie their necks with
gay ribbon. putting inside a ruffle OF
fringed crepe paper matching the RIB
bon-color. I. T.
Edibles, OF course. must be bagged
very shortly before being distributed,
Iced tartlets, small pretty fancy cakes
nuts, raisins, bits of crystallized fruit
all make admirable filings.
What manner of sweets, fruits, can.
dies, nuts, ETC., appear must depend,
of course, upon the hostess. She WILL
not err if the candies are largely
homemade and p1entifully reinforced
with fresh fruit and good cake. Nuts
are essential, but should not be eaten
too literally. The best preventive OF
such excess is satisfying menu. Here
is one that should appeal to hungry
young creatures, yet do them no sort
of harm. I'D

suit individual tastes. 1880.
For the chicken biscuit begin by
roasting q fine fat chicken. duly
washed and tzussed, creased all over
and bacon-covered on the breast. Do
not stun it, but put inside half = dozen
stalks Of celery and a peeled and quar-
tered apple. Lay few more stalks
of celery in the bag. which needs
small lump Of butter in addition to
thick greasing, seal, and COOK done
taking care the bag does not break
Remove carefully from the bag. and
while still hot, mince the meat as fine
as you can, mincing also the apple and
celery, which will be cooked very soft
Taste. II the light seasoning which
the chicken had Is insufficient, add
more salt and bare busting OF pep

minced mass the gravy from the bag

minutes ought to be long enough.
Mince .turnovers, which explain
themselves, must be very small. Make

neatly and pinch! the edges we'll TO
