Novel Hard Times Party


Here Is a new version of n hard
times or poverty" party. The invi-
tations were written on brown paper
such as butchers use for wrapping
meat, and the lettering was done with
heavy lead pencil. At the top of the
sheet was this nursery rhyme:
Hark bark the dogs do bark;
The beggars are coming to town,
Some in rags. and some in tags,
And some In silken gown.
followed by the request to dress "in
gladdest rags" and come to the ad-
dress on the day, date and hour given.

hostess handed each "beggar" dance
program number as high as the num-
Der of her guests, and as each entered
the large living-room, which had been
cleared for dancing, a number was
pinned upon the back so votes could
be registered as to "who was who"

may imagine the fun such q party
would make. Prizes were awarded and
card tables were provided for those
who did not care to dance. Refresh

the hostess to wear a cotton gown. II

bridegroom he can wear a cotton shirt
and necktie. Perhaps 1t will be pos.
sible to get real cotton plants with
the bursting cotton pods which may be
used in lieu of flowers. Here is a
laughable stunt with which to start
the evenings fun. Have narrow white
cotton tape arranged as for an old

each piece OF tape is measured and the
one having the longest piece is award
ed prize, which should be of cotton
fabric. In the instance where this was
done the reward was cotton batting
doll candy box filed with candy. We
have ali seen the cotton Santa Claus
figures and the little doll Christmas
tree ornaments? Well. these would be
Just the thing for favors at an affair OF
this kind.
Another pastine would be to pass
baskec filed with different colors and
lengths Of cotton tape with knots tied
In them and the trick is to see who
can mite the greatest number Of knots
In the time set. A prize may be Of
fered for this. In the south little bales
OF cotton may be obtained, which
would be appropriate souvenirs for
this celebration.

A NEW DEFINITION OF A CHRISTIAN

NEW DEFINITION OF CHRISTIAN,
Edmund Vance Cooke, of Cleveland.
Ohio, writes the following definition of a
Christian in the August American Maya
zine:
WHAT is Christian? come! forget the book
and the text-divining:
Forget the metes and the bounds of faiths; we
have come to new defining.
Forget the Christian who died the death for
the faith he esteemed his Makers
And the Christian who hacked heretics and
cheerfully CHARTERED Quakers.
Never mind the confessional Christian you
may classify with label;
But what is your test of the "Christian" YOU
seat at your family table?
Never mind the communicate Christian whom
you kpeel beside Easter morning;
" hos the man you endorse for the rest of the
year, nor qualify with warning?
We know the anointed crucified Christ who is
glorltied on Sundays,
But are we so sure of the Village Jew on the
Saturdays and Mondays?
Who came fresh-eyed to the Jewish town
with its chickering's and barter?
A model we haven't improved much vet in
our latest city charter)
Give US "Christian!' Give us one, whatever
his churchly rating,
Whom we may trust in the market, unmatched
and unhesitating;
Give us the man who pays his debts in the
spirit he makes collections,
And we're willing to make some allowance if
he lack in his genufections.
Give us the man who toes the mark and takes,
if he must, his beating,
And we do not ask what his tally is at the FRI
day evening meeting;
The man who respects his fatherhood as
women her maternity;
Give US the man who comes to time, and we'll
trust him in Eternity.

built the fire in the center. They banked
it all in with seaweed, and then shoveed
in the CLANS. Over the clans they put
dozens of ears of corn, and all around
the edges and in among the corn ears
were sweet potatoes. Next they packed
seaweed firmly down over the top, ano
left everything to cook for fifty minutes.
"When the call came that all was
ready we found shining tin pail hold
ing melted butter in the center Of the
pile, and big pots of coffee steaming
nearby. There were boxes of crackers.
dishes of sliced lemons and salty pickles.
and cases of iced tonics.
I'VE held an ear of corn in one hand,
a sweet potato in the other, q dish OF
clans in another and a cup of melted
butter in fourth. Our other hands VIC
could use for crackers and pickles.

two successful contests organized and

successful young business man and
mother who springs from fine Georgia
stock, an ideal American boy. When
the youngster was pronounced perfect
Ualf dozen medical men took him IN
hand and put him through second and
more rigid examination. But there was
no shaking that first verdict. Sidney
June Chastain had scored the maximum
possible on the Better Babies Score
Card, one thousand points, one hundred
per cent.
1t was hard for physicians and COM
,nittee members to keep the secret, but
che feat was accomplished, and when the
announcement was made in connection
with the prize award, applause shook the
building. Sidney and his proud but as
tonisned parents were asked to come
to the platform so that the audience
could look the hundred per cent. baby
over. The little lad received not only the
first cash prize in bis class but two silver
mugs. one presented by the Woman's
