TOO LONG FOR PRISON BUNK
Rowing KentuckIan Is Allowed to Stretch Out on the Floor for
 His Sleep.

MiIwaukee-Measur six feet four and one-half inches in his sock feet is one thing that John Morris, thirty years old, Lexington, Ky, brides him self on.
 He applied at the central station for a lodging After the customary Ques- tions concerning his birthplace, na- tionality and occupation had been an- swered satisfactorily, he was asked if he thought he could sleep comfortably upon the cell hunks.
 After being taken to the cellroom 1t was found that Morris would be either obliged to curl up in a knot and go to sleep or allow his legs to dangle over the edge of the cot.
 Morris, with his six feet four and one-half inches of brawn and muscle, now holds the record for elongated lodgers at the station. He slept on the floor in the detectives room in- stead.

HER DAY OF TRIUMPH
SOCIAL FUNCTIONS IN HONOR or
 THE GIRL GRADUATE.
Here Are Few Seasonable Dishes fol Such occasions-Cold Chicken 5ouillon Always a Part-Good
 Combination Salad.

Just as the new bride is feted witl
 little social functions of all sorts, so
 Is the girl graduate given her own special fcstivity. One of the prettiest social functions given in her honor Is a pretty luncheon, to which are invited all the girls of her class. If there are twelve maids long table will be used,
 but with a numerous company a num- Der of round tables are preferred. The tables are got up in very ''partyfed" manner-dainty china, a profusion of flowers, furnished silver and sparkling glasses giving them quite a wedding air. New favors for these charming functions are small, stiff bouquets made up like the old bridal nosegays. The flowers for these are artificial, the daintiest that can be had, and about the paper horn that holds them there Is frill of some pretty cheap lace. The long stem of the bouquet is wrapped with tinfoil The menu of the banquet may be as grand or as sim Ple as one considers consistent with such gala fxings, but the usual spread includes some delicate appetizer, bouil- Ion, an entree in season, broiled spring chicken, G green salad, ices and cake. Salted almonds or peanuts and little dishes of bonbons are scattered over the tables.
 Here are few recipes for seasona- ble dishes for such functions:
 Cold Chicken Bouillon.-Get good roasting chickens and remove skin and fat when cleaning them Put them on in cold water, adding at the same time one leek to each chicken, two tender carrots, one onion and a sprig O. parsley. Let the chicken barely simmer until it falls to rags Take it off the fire, remove superfluous grease and then strain. Clarify the bouillon with the whites and shells of two eggs and then strain again. Put on the ire until needed and serve in broad tin teacups or, better still. bouillon cups Many persons prefer the bouillon hot
 Combination Salad.-Wash a head ot romaine salad in several cold waters Then take large shears and strip the leaves into pieces about an inch wide Clip green peppers in the same way. these almost to threads Put these in large bowl, add some canned asparagus tips carefully drained of liquid. two tablespoonfuls of chopped chives. and four tender beets cat in thin slices, and then throw in the ten der hearts of two punches of celery, these split into four. Use French dressing, olive oil. salt, pepper and lemon juice. This salad should be kept cold as ice before serving.
 Salted Almonds.-Shell two pounds of almonds and then boil them five minutes; remove skins while still warm. This Is how the almonds are blanched. As soon as they are peeled, sprinkle lightly with fine table salt.
