IN GREEN AND WHITE
APPROPRIATE TOUCH FOR BRIDE
AND BRIDESMAIDS.
Color Scheme May Easily Be Carried
Out With the Exercise OF q Lit
tie Thought-cIever Idea-for
q Centerpiece.

In preparing the table, fit the top
with g covering of delicate green sat
in with an eighteen-inch fall of lace
from the edge Of the table, finishing
on the edge of the table with a close,
narrow wreath of fern leaves, using a
large lace centerpiece, plate and glass
doilies to match. Use the green and
white china, and for place cards
painted green and white butterflies
poised on the rims of the water
glasses. For floral centerpiece use
a gilt Louis XVI basket filled with
white lilies, which form a fringe about
the edge, and white narcissus; on
the handle tie a large feathery bow
of silk Illusion.
In the lace-edged serviettes tuck the
luncheon roll. and in tiny gilt baskets
like the center one put the sailed al
monds. In tiny gold and white band
boxes put the bonbons Of green and
white and tie the cover on with white
satin ties. A pair of small white satin
the crystallized mint leaves at either
end of the table; the relishes all find
place in the cut glass relish dish.
Above the table swings wedding
bell made of white lilies, the floral
clapper of white narcissus, and tho
bell rope of smilax stretches to tbs
brides place at table, where with a
gentle pull she may release the bell,
which is a shower bouquet that sep
arates into a bunch of flowers for
each girl guest.
The menu should follow the color
scheme of green and white as far as
possible, in the way of coloring the
jellies, cakes, ices, bonbons, salads,
and sauces, and if a fruit cup is serv-
ed through the meal, it may have the
green cherries and the mint leaves in
it by way of garnish coloring.
A decorative salad is made of white
grapes and the green cherries, halved
and stoned, with chopped olives and
white celery. Use heavy mayonnaise,
colored delicate green, and serve
the salad in green pepper shells on
white lettuce leaves. The pistachio
cream is attractive served in the candy
white lilies surrounded by their
green leaves, and the small heart
shaped silver cakes with green frost
ing may be served with the cream.

trimmed with wide bands of white
lace and bouquets of pink satin and
chiffon roses with green leaves.

Tea Gown Now More Formal.

It has been said that the automobile
had banished the tea gown, but in
reality it has strengthened its I'M
portance in the wardrobe. After a
long ride in a car could there be any
thing more refreshing than to divest
oneself OF dusty garments and put on
sort, light and dainty tea gown? The
tea gown OF today is more OF. formal
gown than in the days gone by, an
other point in favor for practical use.

Reading the Riot Act.

What Is commonly meant by read
ing the riot act is better known than
the origin of the phrase. The histof-
cal riot act was passed by the British
parliament in the reign Of George l. In
1714 1t enacts that felony is commit
ted when twelve or more persons I'M
lawfully, riotously and unanimously
assemble together to the disturbance
of the public peace, so to continue to-
gether for an hour after being com
manded to dispense by the sheriff or
undersheriff or Justice or the mayor
of the borough.
In the reading of the British riot
act, which is a necessary preliminary
TO its being put into operation, it is not
customary to recite the whole of the
statute, which is rather a long one, but
only the following proclamation. which
1t contains: Our sovereign lord the
king chargeth and commandeth all per
sons being assembled Immediately to
dispense themselves and peaceably to
depart to their habitatiOns or to their
lawful business upon the pains con-
tanned in the act made in the first year
of King George for preventing tumults
and riotous assemblies. God save the
king

it might possibly be necessary to have some
au Hilary pow + to fill tanks or distribute the
same with sufficient force to be at all times
available
There are several systems of this kind,
some # them very inexpensive. And do IT
believe that you have ever investigated the
cost of applying any Of these systems TO the
requirements.
IL. fire plug could be placed at any point
on the hill near the school grounds, and with
waaer in the building and the usual fire pro-
lection appliances, as good protection could
be provided as can be desired
II. The location is near the city centre, in
open view OF a large proportion of the resi-
dents by day and by night if necessary to
light the same; and have never heard of any
seriou, damage to the present building 1t Is
common information that there is no place
within our city limits that needs protection
now so badly as the ball ground site.
10. The insurance rates now are and have
been for many years exactly the same for the
hill school for other school buildings in
the city.
IA. The old school building may be salable
under the building code, but the code does
not so far l know furnish a purchaser for
that particular kind of building,
10 Cons dering the depth of foundation,
the pumping of water while building, some
grading that will absolutely be necessary, it
IS very doubtful whether the ultimate cost on
the hill will be any greater than on the ball
grounds.
l6. We could answer this with greater Ger
tainty if we knew that more interest was
taken at present in our downtown schools
than in a school on the hill
H. This is question of opinion, and for the
present we are only considering a building
for school purposes.

Favorable.

Nearly all OF these are repetitions of the un-
favorable reasons above l will attempt to
answer only few of them.
9. The use of auditorium and library might
be very desirable. 1t would mean, however,
an increased fixed charge; and as to the libr
airy it would probably be better to spend cur
money in the maintenance of the free public
library we now have.
10, This is answered fully under No. above.
II. There is some weight to this proposition
but generally speaking the hill school would
be accessible and the primary schools might
be disable, or as matter of expense in the fll-
ture 1t might be economical to rent a building
for the particular purpose, especially as there
seems to be no i'm ediate need for this pur-
pose.
IS. If basement can be used downtown II
can be used on the hill and the building con-
structed accordingly.
"A. The best authorities tell us that we need
not hope for financial profit in education of
pay scholars, We are building school to take
care of our own, The only advantage would
be in the possible Improvements of facilities
1t is, however, proposition that needs SER
lous consideration.
Is. hardly think anyone will seriously con-
slider the proposition to materially increase
the cost of our sc lool buildings for gradua-
ton and lecture purposes.

GIVES HINTS ON
PICKING APPLES
PROFESSOR W. S. BROWN OF O.
4. c., TELLS JUST HOW WORK
SHOULD BE DONE.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE. Corvallis. Ore, oct 16. -
Especial AS the ultimate CONNER
cial worth of the apple depends to a
large extent on the time and manner
of picking. growers can we'll afford
to give this subject careful attention
at this time" says Professor W. S.
Brown of the College Extension Di-
vision
The time Of picking is influenced
largely by the variety. SOIL elevation,
shipping distance and season. And it
is equally true that the time of pick
ing influences greatly the color, size,
flavor and keeping qualities of the
fruit. The northwest has always bees
celebrated for its highly colored lus-
trous apples Extra prices have been
obtained largely because OF this 1t
is therefore natural for growers 10
leave their fruit on the trees as long
as possible in order to obtain highly
colored specimens. All other things
being equal. this highly colored fruit
will bring higher prices than its paler
brothers but there is danger in letting
1t hang too long upon the trees, For
while color, size and flavor of winter
apples are improved, the keeping
qualities are often impaired.
Many Oregon apples drop badly or
reaching maturity. Among them are
the Grimes Golden. Winesap and
Wealthy. Others are subject to core
rot if left too long on the tree. In
| this class are included the Jonathan
Delicious and Ortley. Other varieties
among them the Kink and the Bald.

when left too long on the tree.
THE grower should remember thai
the red tints on apples change very
little after picking, while the yellow
and green tints often deepen. rol
these reasons he viii usually find Il
| advisable TO make more than on,
picking of the red and the striped
varieties so that the fruits maturing
| first will not be spoiled by waiting fol
