SURPRISE PARTY
 FOR MISS GLASS

Miss Evelyn Glass was the inspiration of an unexpected party last night at the home of her parents, MT. and Mrs. Frank P Glass, on Quinlan avenue. All the signs of the times were in evidence, and the young folks bobbed for apples, tried fortunes and read the fates in tea leaves and all the other time honored methods of paying tribute to suspicion on this night of all the year.
 The young people who took part in the festivities met at Five Points at S:15 and together made their unexpected but well come onslaught upon the Glass residence, laden with golden grain, in the form of sandwiches, olives and cakes brought by the girls, and nuts and candy as gifts from the men. Mrs. Glass had been in- formed of their coming, and all of the &C., cessories incident to Halloween were in readiness. Among those invited to become members of the party were Miss Clara Lee Woodson, Miss Mary Lou Cobb, Miss Harriet Fitts, Miss Mary Tardy, Miss Elizabeth Bowie, Miss Ellie Gordon Rob- inson, Miss Cary Johnson, Miss Joy Tom linson, Miss Annie Wilkerson, Miss Mary Bradshaw, Miss Margaret Robertson, Miss Doris Weatherly, Miss Virginia Un- derwood.

winter use. As briefly as is compatible with accuracy, let me tell you how beef was corned by the butcher under the di- rect supervision of my mother, who sent for him to come to her house for that purpose.
 He rubbed each piece with plenty Of salt mingled with one-tenth part of salt petre until the mixture lay dry upon the surface. Then the meat was set away in a. cool place until next day, when the process was repeated. The salt coated meat was set away for another day, by which time the pickle was ready. This consisted of five gallons of water, one gallon of salt, four ounces of saltpetre, and one and one-half pounds of brown sugar. This brine was boiled 10 minutes. It was left to get perfectly cold before it was poured over the beef, which was packed in a clean, sweet barrel. From time to time the pickle was examined, and if it were musty in the least the meat was taken out, wiped dry, resalted and put down in new supply of brine made as before, but stronger to insure keep ing we'll.
 Beef put up in this way was just what you claim for the round and brisket of early years-firm bright red with a sus- picion of prismatic tints playing over it when cold and sliced thin-melting upon the tongue. It was cut as thin as writ ing paper and curled over the keen blade of the carver
