Answer by G. l. Martin. professor
Of dairying:
There are many kinds of bacteria
which develop worry rapidly in milk,
causing 1t to change In composition
and making it unfit for human con-
sumption. They greatly injure both
the favor and the keeping quality Of
the milk ana all of the products made
rom It like cream. butter, cheese and
iee cream. In addition they lessen the
market value of such products and
ofson are the means Of spreading
many serious Infections and con
tasious diseases. especially among
children.

pupils of schools vacated. II tho

A Holiday Gard Party.

Invitations are sent out and delivered
by hand if possible on rolls of parch-
ment Tor yellow paper sealed with red
wax and written in the formal manner
of old times, bidding ye guest to come
to We inn "at the Sign of We Christmas
Tree" on a certain date. At a country
house it would he possible to hang a
sign with a tree painted upon it outside
the door
The dining room with a big fire roar
ing up the chimney is the place to hold
this party. Ropes of evergreen and
wreaths of holly supply the holiday at
mosphere, and n large trimmed tree
should be stood in one corner. Lamps
and candies are used for lighting. and
all unnecessary furniture should be re
moved for the time being, with the eX-
ception of wooden settles standing on
either side of the fireplace and the
small tables and chairs that are placed
as usual for a progressive card game.
The tally cards are cut in the shape
of Christmas trees. For each game won
a gold star is pasted on the tree. The
favors, which should suggest the sea-
son, are hidden in colOred stockings,
which are hung on the tree During
the game a small boy dressed as an
innkeeper Of WaShington's time should
pass tankards containing lemonade or
hot chocolate. At the end of the game
the guests remain at the tables, where
they are served by the boy and Il small
girl. also in the dress of this period.

rolls, tarts cookies. gingerbread sugar
plums, nuts and raisins.
A green wreathed large bowl of some
hot spiced drink is placed before the
hostess, and while she serves her
guests a half dozen little children in
simple colonial garb enter the room
and sing God Rest Ye Merry Gentle
men, and other we'll known Christmas
carols This will require a slight re-
hearsing beforehand, but the unexpect-
ed climax to the party will appeal to
the audience. The children should
pass around their hats after singing,
and they are paid with nuts and can
dies.

Santa Claus Dance.

A Santa Claus dance is one of the
most delightful of all Christmas frol-
les and really one of the easiest to
plan, for only one scheme of decoration
has to be thought of. only one idea
kept in mind-Santa Claus. Santa
Claus everywhere-and it is one that
appeals to the youngest as we'll as the
oldest dancers.
To begin with, write the invitations
on paper or cards which bear the good
saints image Such paper or cards
can be found everywhere. Postal cards
at least. bearing Santa Claus portrait
will be available. and these can bear
the invitation and then be inclosed in
an envelope or else small gummed
Santas can be bought and pasted to
the invitation note paper. These gum
med Santas may also be used as seals
on the envelope. The invitation may
well be worded In Santa's name, for
instance:
Santa Claus requests the pleasure
of your company on the evening of
-, Dec -, at the home Of Mrs. John
Jones. where he is going to spend the
evening"
The house decorations should, of
course. include plenty Of holly and
Christmas green's. but If possible small
Santas should play a conspicuous part
In the scheme. Paper or china or
cloth, whatever they are. they should
perch over the doors or windows, cling
to holly wreaths and hide themselves
In the greens.

When One May Be Unconventional.


Etiquette is not a synonym for con-
ventionality. On the contrary there
are times when it is far more polite
to be unconventional than the oppo-
site. These are occasions when the
well bred person will commit some
small breach on the conventions in or
der to put at ease some other person.
not entirely versed i'll the minute de
tails of such things, yet who is far
more worthy of communication in Il
general sense than hosts of others who
are up in such matters The use
of the wrong fork or spoon; the careful
covering of a broad eXpanse of snowy
shirt front by the man who has lived
the free life Of wild country, for eX-
ample, should never be looked upon
with scorn by the delicately reared.
Every one knows the story of the
admirable poise of a hostess who. not
ing the modification of clumsy guest
who had broken one of n priceless set
of teacups by letting it fall in his en-
barrassment, said to the poor man, his
face burning with the shame of his
WardneSS. Never mind. Mr..
Blank; these cups are so easily broken,

quietly broke another on the edge of
the table. This was a loss to her. in
asmuch as she knew the set could not
be duplicated, but she knew the man
was scholar, Il student, man of in
tellect and broadcast intelligence, whose
life, passed in researches for the good
of his fellow creatures, had not allow
ed of learning all the small methods of
doing exactly the proper thing ut

1t is not very likely that such tests
of true courtesy and consideration
come often, yet there are many who
would show the true meaning of that
innate politeness that comes from the
heart and which really means consid-
