NEW IDEA FOR PLACE CARDS
Something Always Welcome 10 \ De-
slpu That 10 Different From
Run Of These.

Something new In place cards Is al
ways of interest to those who fire.
quentiy entertain. A quaint design
seen recently was a card about one
inch wide and three inches long. At
the top was a picture Of a pretty girl
whose hat, when tilted back, showed
the guests name beneath. Another
card showed a small messenger boy
carrying a small grip. When the grip
was lifted the name was found be-
meath. A lady with a little fan would
be another clever idea, or pansies
with attached leaves would be neat.
For a stag dinner the cards could be
made with each one to represent the
guests occupation. Cards for the bank
er, tailor, editor. merchant, ETC., could
be made very quaint If the artist Is hui
morist enough to portray a little car
feature work in the establishment.
These little affairs a be made at
home with white cards and cartridge
paper, and IL one can sketch the pic
lures may be made very attractive.
A tiny silk bag In which are tuck
ed a few sprays OF artificial flowers,
such as lilies OF the valley, OF small
rosebuds, and a small name card.
Is a delightful combination OF place
card and favor.

BEST BREAD FOR SANDWICH
White and Brown, In Ribbon style
Make the Morsei Moro Appetfx-
Ina When 1t 10 Served

Do you know how to make ribbon
sandwiches? Use white and brown
bread, cutting each slice across the
loaf. Spread lightly with a paste
made from canned red peppers and
creamed cheese mixed with a little
m~ayonnaise.
When the sandwiches are done. put
q dozen or more on top of n an
other, the brown slice always down.
Press under heavy weights, then siice
from top to bottom SO the white and
brown appear alternately In ribbon ef-
feet. The filling for this sandwich
must be put on very thin. A similar
treatment is white bread and a deep
rye bread. or with a ~delicately tinted
rye bread and nut bread. This last
needs no filing. although a thin layer
of orange marmalade may be spread
on the pressed slices after they are
cut lengthwise.

other task which Is the daily problem
troubling thousands Of women each
day. Economy does not mean spend

returns for the money spent. There
is no better field for wise spending
than for the table. Good food Is es-
sential for the physical health, not to
speak of the mental and moral
growth, which Is no doubt largely de-
pendent upon the right kind of food.

Instead Of Potatoes,

A. dietician talking with a woman

from her diet list. advised her to sub.
stitute macaroni. Az this Is usually

ETC.. are reserved for the summsr
trade. but there are some charming
parasols OF the elaborate sunaror
type, and so pretty are they that 1t
seems unlikely that the later season
will reveal anything more desirable.
The lowered silks win general ad-
miration, and the designers have &C.
compiished excellent effects with
these siiken fabrics, woven especially
for p~arasol purposes and exquisite
both In color and In design.
One line OF these parasoIs has a
wide border OF plain color. Above
this is a solid mass OF flowers and
foliage. The border Is of delicate
blue. The roses and foliage, some
what blurred and toward their out
lines. melt into vagueness.
Another type of the floral decorat-
ed parasol also has a plain border, the
rose decorations being shC-Jn In fes-
toon design around the upper part Of
the parasoi. Sometimes the plain
border Is separated from the floral
decorations by shadow lines of black
or applied braid designs In white
soutache, as shown in another para
sol illustrated on this page. The
parasol is OF white ~tafeta, trimmed
at the lower part by applied white
silk soutache, and above the braid
design is q festoon OF large delicate
pink roses.
One OF the New York shops is show
ingy ~parasols made up of Lowell
bounced cotton stunts. to be worn en-
suite with trim little morning or
beach frocks Of the same material.
The parasol and costume are OF fig
ured cotton wolfe. The parasol has
a deep border Of floral design and
shadow lines of indistinct coloring on
white ground. The rest of the cover
has scattered flowers, harmonizing
with the flowers of the border, but dis
tributed in little clusters over the
white wolfe with the scattered-flounce
design, but without the floral border.
In the plain, one-tone silks there
are ~parasols OF various qualities, but,
to be really smart a parasol OF this
type needs to be OF fairly heavy SILK,
and the cheaper models are at their
pest In the striped or figured Silk.

Minting Silence
. n "a PB "a PA a ON

THENCE. to many GEMS so much like nothIngness, that to indulge
e. in II, in this busy rushing life of ous, seem a waste Of time.
/ ri But silence If used rightly can be transmitted into gold, the
- gold of character, the gold of aspiration. the gold of action. So
that 1t will pay even the most commercial to study a little this matte o
indulgng n silence.
The person who is never still. who rushes hlther and thther, who
decides important matters in the hurly-burly of living, does not get me
most o. the best ut of life. Silence is needed to see life truly, to make the
decisions.
The Orentas have a phrase. Go into the Silence" that Is worth
thinking upon. At 1t suggests peace to the troubled spirit, eearness
OF vision to the perplexed. TO withdraw ones self from the world, to be
alone with ones self to go where there is absolute quiet and to think is
az value to every life. And 1t would be well II more of us did it ofener.
X the busy mother would go Into the silence and there, with al dis
turbing elements out of sight and hearing, think upon the problems that
have arisen in the days round, she will solve them more wisely.
If the business woman VIII 90 into the slence and there Dol at lie
IN les true perspective. the trriauons o. the day that now seem sc big
will drop into their place. and life will become serene and sweet.
For in the silence come soundless voices from the higher realms, that
tell us the true meaning of life and give US right guidance.
Carlyle says thought will not work except in silence, and the thought
that comes to us in the great silence, when we open u mind Ito tie
infnte is h thought Of the infinite mind. And this Is the most precious
thing n all the world.
So that W o "a IL we will mint. In the silence. true golden coin
that will get for us the best things OF life.
For in the silence, we touch the very sources of being, we become
zee with the great current of life flowing through b spheres, and We
bring out with US from the silence a portion OF its power.
So though 1t may seem fooushness to- some. and a waste. to take q
little time and go apart, it will certainly pay.-pay from a mere worldly
point II view. for 1t will enable US to handle more successfully the problems
that arse In our days work, and pay enormously from a spiritual point of
view. for it will give us slmpses of the purpose OF life. And when comes
an understanding OF this. comes Joy unspeakable.
For the understanding OF life is the light that tranahgures 1t with
beauty and makes living sheer happiness.

THE NECESSITY OF GIVING.

By nothing is the status of person
more clearly shown than by what he
regards necessary. 1t goes without
saying that the rich mans necessities
are the poor mans luxuries. But what
Is far more interesting to most of us
is the comparison of standards among
people of like income. We constantly
hear people say that they cannot
afford this or that, when we happen
to know that they have quite as much
to do with as we ourselves, and spend
money in many ways which we would
deem extravagant There are women
who dress as we would never dream
books or magazines. Some spend on
vacation trips what others put into
rent. Some build houses, while others
run automobiles. In some families,
the education of the children is the
first necessity, while in others it is
expensive social life. In short, if we
know how people spend their incomes
we know the secret spring of their
lives.
1t is foolish for any one to set up
an absolute standard for the proper
tioning of expenses. All this is a mat
ter of individual preference, and every
man is a rule unto himself to very
considerable extent Nevertheless it
is only human to observe and comment
on others peculiarities. The most I'M
forgivable of all spending schemes is
that which shuts out all generosity to
others. The people who spend all on
themselves, with the constant excuse
that they cannot afford to give, cannot
but he despised. Giving should be re-
garded as necessity of life. To have
no church claims, no habits of charity,
no customs of gift making, no sharing
of pleasures with others, and no ways
of hospitality-this we're poverty in
deed. Those who think they cannot af-
ford these things are the poorest of
paupers. AS matter of fact, they can
not afford to live without them. No
one can know the fulness of life who
does not recognize the necessity of
giving

FRANcIscANs IN INDIA.

Brother Anthony, o. F. NJ, of Bel
larry, India, writes the following:
ITO all interested in the welfare OF
the missions in India it is an I'M
doubted joy to see the number of mis-
sioners increase from day to day. You
will be glad, l am sure, to know that
our little community here in Bellary
has had small increase appreci-
able one, nevertheless-in it's strength,
as we had the happiness of seeing
one of our postulants receive the holy
habit of our seraphic father, st. Fran
els, a few days ago. On the same
day one of the brothers made his
profession of perpetual religious vows,
and another renewed his annual vows.
May our dear Lord send us more sub
iects, for there is a sore need of a
much larger number of laborers in
this part of His vineyard. The num-
Der of brotherhoods and of brothers
is but very small in India, and what
an amount of good work can be done
for our dear Divine Masters glory
and for the salvation of souls if these
numbers can be multiplied-s ten
fold at the least! Even a hundred
fold increase will be all too small
for the tremendous work in this land. ]"

THE NEGRO CHILDREN OF THE
SOUTH.

Hail, Holy Queen" Millions of
voices recite this beautiful prayer
throughout the Catholic world. Dur
ing the month of May it is the prayer
of prayers, for May is Mary's month
dedicated by the church to her honor.
It is a month the children love. They
gather flowers to lay at her feet; they
present their childish petitions rely
ing on her love for them to get them
what they ask" She is the Mother
of Cod" the children tell you with
awe-struck eyes.
In the South the little negro chill
dren are learning the lesson too, OF
love and devotion to Mary, "the
Mother of the Most High" but, alas!
how many unbaptized negro children
there are who have never heard the
word of God, and who are STEPPED in
the darkness of ignorance, who will
never hear of this beautiful devotion
except that we in the North come to
their assistance, by providing schools
and churches for them to hear Gods
word as it is taught in the Gospel.
There are millions of these little
negro children in the South longing
for the light Will you not try and
help educate them spiritually and
otherwise by providing parochial
schools?
It will be the greatest work of mercy
you ever did; one which will reward
you spiritually a thousand fold. Write
or call on the Rev. John e. Burke,
Director General of Negro Missions,
Metropolitan Building, No. Madison
avenue, New York City.
Don't waste moment, but write at
once and help to swell the throng OF
little voices who will cry out Hail,
Holy Queen" in this sweet month OF
May.
