Dear Mrs thompson Would you
! please give me a few suggestions for
private barn dance which / am go
ing TO give, in regards to the music,
lunch, the invitations, a few games
that we can play during the intermis-
sions, and about the drinks. Do you
think cider would be all right? What
decorations would you advise. to make
the barn look as nice as possible?
A READER
Make it as old-fashioned as possible
and between the modern dances have
the quadrille. Virginia reel, etc. If
there are any people i'm your vicinity
who can dance the old-time pidgeon
wing, the clog or such solo dances,
make them your star performers. You
might have the old folks dance each
other down and give prizes to the win
ners. You would not need any games
If you did this.
If you could get an old fiddler for
the square dances it would be fine.
If not, have a three-piece orchestra,
or, if you can't have that, get piano
player.
For refreshments have cider. dough
nuts, LldpIS SlSdi, S"SCI piNhiCo" II
you want to be more elaborate you
can have cold fried chicken and bread
and butter sandwiches.
Decorate with corn stalks, punches
of grain and field flowers. You can
add bunting festoons if you like. If
you can get electricity for lighting.
that will be safest. The place could
easily be wired for temporary use.
If you cant do this, get some of the
old-fashioned ceiling oil lamps and
suspend them from the rafters. Be
sure that they are hung securely. Au-
tomobile headlights also make good
lighting.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two
chums of IA and Is and would like
your advice.
% Do you think it improper to |
speak to boy in the evening because
we have no time during the day?
Could a police officer arrest us for
doing so? Our parents do not object, |
because they know that he is respec- |
table boy and we do not stay away
from home. Two neighbors are
against this. They said they would |
tell a police officer. Could they dc
this? We do not disturb them in any |
way. Could you tell us the reasons |
of the neighbors acting this way?

in a double boiler until the sugar is
dissolved. When cold, add another
pint of cream and freeze. If orange
juice or orange pulp is to be added,
il must be done after the cream is

longer and repacked. Blood oranges

unusual flavor. They also give a beau
tiful color.

sugar in hot water, and in the hot
syrup dissolve two tablespoonfuls of
gelatin, which has been soaked in Il
cup of water. Add two cups of
whipped cream, add almond essence,

Thinqs Worth Knowing.

A small speck of cream of tartar
put in boiled icing and cooked with
it will prevent it turning back to
sugar.
Always wash white silk gloves in
cold water and white soap and they
will not become yellow.
Common bracken fern laid down in
places frequented by cockroaches will
drive them away.
Sprinkle dry flour over any japanned
trays that are beginning to look
shabby. Leave for an hour or so,
then rub off the flour and polish with
soft buster. 1t will improve even
a shabby tray.

a greater part of the Belgian army
escaped. 1t took the Germans just
eleven days to capture the strongest
fortress in the world. Antwerp's
fall is evidence that even the most
powerful forts are no match for the
colossal howitzers which the invad-
ers successfully employed against
every fortified place in their way.
The Germans, after their shells
made the Town untenable, entered
through the suburbs of Berchem. to
the east, and made breach in the
outer lines Of forts. some of which
we're destroyed by their big guns
and others were blown up by the
defenders.

Few forts continued to hold out.
