CRULLeR PARTY GREAT FUN
Here Is Suggestion for inexpensive
and Most Pleasant Evenings
Entertainment.

If you are looking for an easy way
to plan an evening of pure fun, then
have a cruller party. Word the invi-
tations thus; who likes crullers? If
you do, then come help make them at
the home of -, on the evening of

en-" This is written on the back of
a cruller, made out of water-color pa
per and tinted brown.
The guests gathered quietly on the
porch and when the door was opened,
it revealed a group of kitchen maids
and chefs, much to the delight OF the
hostess. The guests were ushered
Immediately into the kitchen and the
fun began with the mixing of ingredi-
ents, particular work, and one sug-
gested that he see that every one else
did their share. as large sign hung
over the table, "No work, no eat"
When the frying was nearly COM
pleted each was given some dough
and told to design the most artistic
cruller possible and fix it absolutely
without help. Such fun as this Gre
ated, especially to those who knew
how, but were not permitted to tell,
that particularly fine design was
destined to come out an unsightly
mass or a too frail affair would be re-
moved in pieces. A late arrival was
handed plate Of fearfully and won
derfully made objects and told to de-
eide which was the best form and
general appearance. The hostess had
collected a number of suggestive ad-
vertisements, such as a flour grill, a
dish Of crullers, pail of lard, a
cookstove. These were mounted on
gray cardboard and passepartouted in
plaid, making unique and attractive
souvenirs. While the coffee was be-
ing made ready those who had chosen
dishwashing were kept busy at the
table. The dishes were large repro
ductions of the invitations and the
favors were tiny coffee pots such as
come in doll sets. AS the crullers
and coffee were enjoyed each one told
a Joking story in some way connect
ed with cooking.

Russian Vegetable Salad.

Cook some carrots and turnips in
boiling salt water, adding little but
ter when nearly done. Have one or
two beets boiled until tender, then
peeled. With vegetable scoop cut
the vegetables into round, olive
shaped and sized balls-about cup
full of each. Have also the same
amount of asparagus points and string
beans. Cut into small pieces two dozen
stoned olives and tablespoonful each
of capers and minced pickle. Add to
the vegetables, together with a tea
spoonful each of chives, tarragon and
chervil. Toss lightly together, heap in
a salad bowl and cover with mayon-
naise. Garnish with olives, pickles and
hard-boiled eggs.

Hot milk added to potatoes when
mashing them will keep them from
being soggy.
A pinch of salt thrown into the cof-
fee pot will improve the flavor of the
coffee.
piece of flannel dampened in
camphor will polish mirrors.
Castor oil becomes tasteless If
beaten and thoroughly mixed with the
white of an egg.
The best floor covering for a chill
dren's playroom is cocoanut mating,
which can easily be taken up and
shaken twice a week.
When a blanket becomes too thin
for the bed do not destroy it. It
makes nice silence cloth or pad for
the dining-room table.
When packing tie in bottle corks
well and put the bottle in the middle
of the trunk. If carried solidly in
this way they will carry around the
world.
After the bread is mixed and mold
ed grease the mixing pan in which it
is to stand while rising, and the ease
with which 1t can be taken from the
pan when making into loaves will be
pleasant feature of the work.
Please don't fail to try this at the
next bread mixing.

Helpful Hints.

Cocoanut mating may be cleaned
with large coarse cloth dipped in
salt and water and then rubbed dry.
Knives which have been used for
onions and smell of them can be
cleaned by drawing them through a
piece of carrot two or three times
To remove hot water marks from
japanned trays use sweet Oil. Rub 1t in
well till all marks disappear, then pol
ish the tray with dry flour and soft
cloth.
When gilt frames or molding of
rooms have specks of dirt from flies
and other causes upon them they may
be cleaned with white of egg applied
with a camePs hair brush.
To clean dust stained alabaster Or
naments, make paste of whiting, soap
and milk. The paste must be left to
dry on and then washed away, the
surface being then dried with a cloth
and then with flannel, when the or
naments Will be found clean and un-
harmed.

P0STALS REMAIN IN FAVOR

and in Designs That Are Remark
ably Attractive.

Postals for occasions continue to be
more and more fascinating as the sea.

white wedding slipper, blowing his

Not Worth the Price.

Don't wrap child's hair in curriers'
at night, says a writer in The House
keeper Curly hair is not worth what
it costs in disturbed and restless
sleep. A headful of curriers' is just
about as comfortable as pillow filled
with clothespins. If you doubt 1t,
watch the frowning face of the child
asleep, see the restless turning of the
head and in the morning note how
she yawns and stretches and hates to
get up. If hair that is straight must
be curled. do it in the daytime and
not at night.

Crochet Buckle.

Why not make for yourself a belt
buckle of Irish lace? Any oval or OBJ
long shape may be used for founda-
ton, or a shape may be cut from
heavy cardboard, with slides sewed
on the under side when finished.
The foundation Is covered first with
layer of cotton wadding, then with
black or white silk, according to the
outside
The separate flowers are first cro-
cheted, then a shaped background of
the openwork stitch just big enough
to cover the buckles neatly. This is
stretched tightly over the covered
belt buckle and sewed with tiny
stitches.
A good-looking buckle for a black
and white dress is of the black lace
made up over white satin lining.

Dainty Belt.

With the promise of partially re-
stored waistline. the girl who likes to
embroider can fashion for herself one
of the new belts of leather.
One of these in ivory white leather
of thin glaze is embroidered with a
narrow scroll design in tiny gold
beads. The buckle is also leather COW
cred and much more closely studded
with the beads.
Another belt of black suede is en-
broidered in an intricate cross-stitch
design, using threads of dull silver.
This, too, has buckle to match
These belts may have the edges
turned back and stitched, but are
firmer. especially the suede ones, If

Vulnerable beautiful furbelows for the
adornment of the head in lieu of hat
for evening wear, according to fash
ions whim.
Many caps of gold and silver tissue,
with tinsel lace frills, are worn in the
evening also. They are simpler, that
is, more easily made, than the jew
eled pieces. Ribbon flowers, or very
swell and fine millinery flowers com
plete them. The head-dress of many
periods long past have been drawn
upon for models of construction. The
Egyptian ideas are especially effec-
tive, the German bands especially

RYEVER before have women of
M fashion given so much attention
lV to fancy head dresses, as during
the past opera season. This
may have helped on the vogue of the
lace cap, trimmed with narrow rib
bon. and ribbon or millinery flowers,
which is worn in the house during the
day time. 1t is pretty fashion and
helps out the breakfast-table appear
ance most effectively.
But the caps, hair bands and other
decorative features worn on the head
in the evening are much more than
pretty. They are rich, brilliant and
many of them expensive. Mock jew
els and feathers, small, ribbon flower
and millinery flowers, with fancy
bands, many pendant tassels and
fringes and decorated bands of black
velvet, these supply the factors
wherewith designers make up in

For Younq Women.

At this time many younger women
affect the wearing of rowan red ber-
ries mounted on a bandeau of velvet,
while for more elaborate occasions
others choose a shot blue and green

Women are slow to learn that the

Offers Athletic Field.

Champaign, Jan. 3.-Champaign
high school students will have a
model athletic field as a result of
the generosity of Representative w.
B. Mckinley. Last night an offer
was made by Mr.. Mckinley to the
local board of education of a tract
of land 444 by $50 feet in the west
part of this city. 1t is conveniently
situated in relation to the car lines
and can be made into an excellent
field for sports. Congressman Nc
kinley also rendered 81 900 in cash
to be used in equipping the field
with bleachers and other improve
ments. The board of education, if
necessary, will increase this sum.
1t is planned to have a gridiron,
baseball diamond and running track
with a small clubhouse perhaps. If
the board of education does not de-
sire the site suggested Mr.. McKin-
ley offers $4,000 in cash to use in
purchasing land elsewhere. The land
suggested, however, is regarded as
suitable. Local high school teams
are sadly in need of such a field.

There is a general impression that
very old violins and violoncellos are
much superior in tone to similar instru-
ments of modern construction. The
point was debated by a number of
Paris musicians, who decided in favor
of the modern instrument. Six ancient
vfoloncellos were chosen. including a
Stradivarius, a Theckler, a Cappa, a
Pressenda and Guarnerius, together
with six modern instruments. These
were played alternately by Senior Ca
sails, who was hidden from sight, the
instrur .ents being indicated to the jury
by a number and marks awarded
according to beatty Of tone. The
modern instruments aggregated 1,4S4
marks and the ancient instruments

Of the ptarmigan it is necessary either
to journey into the SHOWS and ice of
the far north or to climb up to the
very highest glacier valleys among the
frozen peaks Of the Rockies or Cas-
cades, where circumpolar conditions
are reproduced. While this curious
bird is essentially a subarrtic type. it
is occasionally found among the iso-
lated fields of eternal snow as far
south as Colorado and northern New
Mexico.
The rock ptarmigan Is a bird of
