AS to the exact nature of the meal
served, it depends a good deal, of
course, on the hostess idea of food,
her means and the opportunities of
the country market Should she have
some of the good things mentioned at
her command the success of her
breakfast is assured, for with milk
and fresh eggs, sweet butter and
homemade bread, and, perhaps, a
little fresh fruit any guest will GER
tainly be satisfied.
But the conventional menu always
goes off in certain way. No soup is
ever served, even if the breakfast
hour is at noon. Fresh fruit begins
the meal, every guest finding little
dish of the sort in season, and
though to be generally liked. at the
cover upon arriving at table. Paper
napkins go with the fruit course, as
hostesses are careful of their pretty
napery, and finger bowls half filled
with tepid scented water are also
provided. An entree follows the
fruit. perhaps mushrooms or sweet
breads served en- canape, then comes
the piece de resistance, broiled chick
en-, lamb chops or Maryland fried
chicken. A green salad follows. end
then dessert and coffee.

For the guests coming from dis
lance, of course, written invitation
is required, and this is properly writ
ten by hand and couched in a cordial
tone. The words country break
fast would be used, and maybe there
would be request for an .-Aswer and
some little talk of other guests and
a hint or two as to the amusements
in store. other invitations could be
given over the telephone and by word
of mouth.
Acceptances received, the hostess
goes about her preparations, select
ing a shady and pretty spot on the
grounds for her table or choosing the
wide veranda for it. If she has any
comes, however, the table will be
spread indoors and so placed that
garden or country views can be OBJ
tanned from the open windows. When
her guests arrive, dressed as they sac
fit, or as the smartness of the occa-
sion seems to demand. she greets
them heartily, and after few min
utes' talk the meal is at once on.
+ Ten o'clock and noon are the hours
for these stylish functions, the later
hour being always chosen when
friends are to come from a distance.
When the meal is over, If there are
no pleasures to come afterWard, or
the guests have not been asked to
remain a little longer, the visitors go
after half hour of chatting. At the
outdoor meal women remove t. cir
light wraps, but retain hats, and men
stand prepared to lift the table and
carry it bodily into the house If a
rain comes up. Lawn tennis, golf,
driving and boating are usual enter
tainments after affairs of this sort,
but a little good talk, as there would
be among friends, and the showing
off of ones country seat, are fun
enough for people who love the
things of nature and society.

a tower or a skyscraper, and the

Within us there are towers and

And it is with these as with the

In our busy lives, so crowded with

Don't pass a moment of your off

small annoyances of your working

reach, where the air is clear and
fresh. Keep your eyes at least on
the mountain heights within you, and
you will be rested and stimulated
instead Of exhausted and discour-

a NOVELTY BREAKFAST

COUNTRY breakfast is now d
a smart function, but the merry
4 little spree need not necessarily
be given out of town. The meal is
eaten out of doors, with all the ar
rangements made in countr1hed
manner, so that a restaurant garden
or the screened porch of town house
may be used. The notion for such az
fairs comes from France and Eng
land, in which countries smart Amer
leans discovered the delights of out
door meals in summer and returned
to put the idea in practice.
But when given at a country home
these partly informal affairs are far
more delightful than in a public
place, and in this event a personal
touch is given through the use of ed
ibles grown or raised on the place.
One hostess with fine cows makes a
speciality of serving rich sweet milk;
another pridefully exploits her spring
chickens, tender vegetables, berries
or fruits. The tables are dressed
simply. the WnIte cloth and napkins
showing delicate colors and the dishes
and flowers matching these Wnen pos
sibIe. A round table used at one of
these functions last year was posi-
tive delight to the eye. The hostess
had found some exquisite yellow

of these. As chance would have it,
there was a pond near by crowned

and so, assured of her color. scheme,

breakfast cloth and serviettes with

Look OutsFor Malaria

The water was 6rawn from Flat River
Tuesday night, TO allow workmen to
construct new gates nj the Richardson
dam The gates were Weekend and con-
stlerably by the ice during the past
winter and had gotten in such shape
that it was feared they might 90 out at
any time, and for that reason the
company decided TO get busy at once.
1t seems too bad TO let the water oul of
the river during the prevailing hot
weather, rs the stencil from the river is
liable TO breed malaria. III any Of our
readers feel a slight touch Of malaria,
they should take means to overcome il
at once.
A conerdam is being constructed SO
that the water will not be kept down
any longer than necessary, but pre-
caution is good thing at this time of
the year.

Had Close Call

Passengers on the 5:36 p. m train
Monday afternoon, had a close call TO a
bad accident. The trucks on the engine
left the rails near Portland and ran
a half mile on the ties before the
accident was noticed and the train
was brought TO n standstill. The train
was delayed until nearly nine o'clock
before il reached here. 1t is considered
remarkable that the train held together
as it did and this fact alone saved the
passengers on the train, who knew
nothing of the mishap until the train
came TO stop, from being piled up in
a heap at the side of the track. A.
Friedman, who was passenger on the
train says the accident was caused by
sand washing down on the track from
the side of hill, where a sharp curve
was made To the track.

Reduce Your Food Bill

Nine tenths of the heat of coal
range cannot be used. 1t goes up the
chimney and what is the sense of pay
ing to heat all outdoors? And did you
ever know that food cooked on a coal
range loses about 40 per cent of its
bulk? From such experiments made,
this has been proven beyond doubt.
Fully 40 per cent Of the substances con-
tanned i'm food are lost when cooked on
coal range Another experiment
proved that il costs about so per cent
more for fuel TO cook on coal range
than il, does on gas range; and besides
this already great loss, il takes fully
60 per cent longer TO do the work on a
coal range. The Belding Gas Works
sells gas ranges ON easy payments.
