Cha6ng Dish arty

Did you ever have a chatting E-dish party?
In these days of electrical efficiency you
can have a delightful one with all the
danger left out. OF course, you can use
an alcohol chafing dish Just as well. but
remember. safety first" The electrical
dishes have three Speeds" so to speak.
with which to regulate the force OF the
current. The lever can be moved up
from low to medium and then to high.
The great advantage in this is that you
can manage your heat according to the
need OF the food you are cooking. and
when It is done you can leave tho current
in Tow and so keep things warm. 1t
is cheaper, too. to use electricity, and
any one who has had the experience of
getting ready to cook, and finding that
the alcohol has all evaporated, win rec
ommend the electric way most positively.
The party consisted of six couples, AS
a rule. 1t is better to have only eight or
ten people, as you have to supply great
many things for them, and II is quite a
little trouble. The boys were presented
with large "bibless" gingham aprons.
which were tied around their waists. The
girls were given dainty little dimity
coloTed ribbon.
Then the hostess allowed the boys TO
choose from a little pile OF cards, shaped
like a chafing dish and tied with ribbon,
The ribbon on the card should corre-
spond with that on the girls apron, and
so each one finds his partner for the
evening.
Inside the cards could be found the
part Of the menu each couple must con-
coct. The fact that there were six couples
did not necessitate six chahng dishes, OF
course. One couple had to set the table,
one had to make the coffee In the cleo

the toast for the "Pig Wlggle" and
lettuce sandwiches. The Pig Wiggle con-
sisted simply of the diced white meat

green peppers and seasoning with
cream dressing, Unless the girls are
very good cooks, a simple menu is ad-

The Woman Who Plays
Auction

Women who are well bred will be we'll
bred at all times and on all occasions,
but there are some games which have
an etiquette all their own. There are
few pointers about auction etiquette that
every amateur should learn to observe.
They are just as important as learning
to follow suit and to play third hand
high, etc Those who desire to get all
the pleasure they possibly can out OF
the game are not satisfied with learning
only the rules-like most Americans they
want their moneys worth" So a few
pointers on bridge department will not
be amiss.
In cutting, remember that you should
always cut towards the dealer. Never
leave the cards open on the table, finish
the cut.
When you have made up the cards
for your opponent, place them at her
left side, with the face side OF the deck
uppermost IL is absolutely necessary to
do this, as it assures every one at the
table that there is no high card put on
the bottom and prevents mistakes in
dealing.
Never, never talk across the board. II
you bid spade, don't follow it up with
the remark that 'you have miserable
hand and couldn't help your partner in
anything" etc. Your opponents are Jus
titled in taking advantage OF this. The
one spade bid is supposed to be signih-
cant enough,
Never ask the scorekeeper II she put
down the last count. The fact that she
is scorekeeper by the mutual consent of
the other players should mean that she
is able to watch the game
Always keep your book and odd tricks
separate. II you make point of closing
your book as soon as you get IT, and
arranging the odd tricks outside, there
will be confusion in a doubled or
redoubled bid Don't throw all your tricks
in a pile.
Never try to outbid your partner This
is only justifiable when you have no help
and are trying to take her out" Re
member that you are practically saying,
II know you've got a good hand, but I'm
selfish and l want TO play mine. want
you to give in to me-" The reckless bidder
is the objectionable sinner In bridge. You
may get away with II once in a while,
but it isn't fair to your partner.

MODES OF THE HOUR
Combination Of Onc-picce Frock and Topcoat ReOiOes
OLd-time Fa0ortte

A style that goes back several decades
is revived this season in the combination
OF the one-piece frock and the ubiquitous
topcoat.
Not that the coatsuit, the tailleur or
the trolleur has been eliminated. 1t has
merely been put in its proper place.
The smart tailor-made suit with
dainty and often extremely elaborate and
expensive blouse, has been worn pretty
much everywhere, morning. afternoon and
evening.
But now. for dress occasions, for the
the dansant. for matinee and restaurant
wear. the one-piece frock is much more
desirable, and 1t is made possible by
the vogue of the topcoat.
1t does exist, however, at present in a
shape that makes II sufficient of itself
for midseason wear, felgning the appear
ance of the redingote, with Its long,
naring tunic, and the drop skirt show
ding beneath.
But in the overheated American houses
these frocks OF serge and satin are too
heavy. while the recurrent cold waves
make them too light for constant wear
In the open.
They are for those who can afford many
fIocks. The one-piece frock of inexpen-
sivo wooden material or OF silk bought,
perhaps, at a sale, Is something that
can be made at home and worn right

WOMAN OUTSIDE The HOME
Ways of Making Extra Money

Since the unusual business depression
has made itself felt many girls are look
ing around for chance to make some
extra spending money. 1t is most sur
prising to hear these girls lament the
fact that they can find nothing to do.
One said only yesterday: I'm just dying
for something to do. Dad just had to
cut down my allowance, and I'm all at
sea. I've never learned to save a cent.
But what can 1 do? 1 don't know a
thing about stenography or typewritlng,
so I can't do any clerical work, There
doesn't seem to be much left but that
and housework. I can't even do that.
And everybody's teaching dancing. Oh,
dear, I'm good for nothing!"
Poor little girl! She is as blind as
II her blue eyes were useless. On all
sides girls in her position are beginning
to work. and to succeed as well. -
One clever girl, who lived in a neigh
borhood in which there were numerous
children, noticed their mothers coming
out every now and then to watch them
at their play. AS she was a truly clever
girl, this gave her an idea. She put on
a dainty little gown, fiuffed up her hair

And many of these coats serve a double
tweed or covert cloth that is only suit
able for the country or rough weather
But made of one OF the beautiful woolens
now manufactured and finished with a
fur collar, the same coat will serve for
wear by day and by night
The picture today shows a one-piece
frock made of crepe de chine. II has
novel and rather pleasing feature in the
wide shirring of the front panel, which
extends from the waist line to a point
almost as high as the very wide girdle.
The fulness of the panel Is repeated
at the sides and at the back of the skirt,
which is finished simply with hem OF
good depth.
The sleeves OF the bodice are set in
at the shoulders and the vest iS fastened
by buttons covered with the silk and is
outlined by cordIng.
A collar of sheer linen, fashioned on
lines similar to those OF the silk collar,
Is worn with it and dainty white linen

pie but very smart little frock is COW

der. 1t is a beautifully curled ostrich
feather OF gray, a color chosen to carry
out the semi-mourning idea of the froclS.

THE BRAVERY OF WOMEN
Ellen Addr Believes That, Weighed in The Balance
Women Are as Hdltant-hearted as Men

'Peace hath her victories no less re-
nowned than wars" This is peculiarly
true with reference to women one Of the
hardest burdens that can be thrust upon
womanltind is the heavy burden OF
waitingi
It Is 80 hard to sit with idle hands,
waiting, waiting for the bad news that Is
sure to come. Yet women have to do
this uncomplainingiy.
On the other hand there are hundreds
OF examples OF the woman warrior, who
has gone forth to fight for her country
with as eager heart as any mani The
days Of Joan Of Arc have been re-enacted
a score Of times. For many women have
been actually in the firing line, facing
the foe.
There are many instances recorded of
women soldiers and women sailors If
these cases be investigated, IL will be
pretty generally discovered that, in con-
junction with love of country, there was
another potent and compelling factor that
urged them on to face the battlefield.
The love of husband or sweetheart was
n leading dynamic force.
That magnificent Scottish regiment
that has fought so nobly in a hundred
fghts the gallant Scots Greys, once
owned a woman trooper in it's ranks.
She was a Mrs. Christian Davies, born
in Dublin, Ireland, 1867. After her mar
riage her husband mysteriously vanished.
30 she decided later that she would don
mans attire, join the army and go in
search of him. Having enlisted success
fully and escaped detention she was
shipped of to Holland, where In a battle

ERY WOMAN WANTS TO KNOW-TNCS
Can We Love
Without Knowing Itp

Every man loves at least three times"
says cynic. But the opinions of a
cynic in matters of the heart are not
worth much. True love can only come
once in lifetime. 1t can never die.
Trouble may force it into a second place
in the mind; years OF separation may
come and go, but still love will last
Often we hear of old lovers marrying
after years of separation Neither knew
that he or she loved the other, but their
meeting again revived the long dormant
love. This proves that we may love with
out knowing IL. Very often IL happens
that n girl grows familiar with a certain
young man. She looks forward TO meet
ing him with n fair amount Of interest,
but should any one suggest that she loves
him, the idea would be scorned
Let that young man, however, suddenly
tell OF his intended departure for Eng
land or let him be III and in danger OF
death; then will the girl discover at last
that she loves him-has loved him for n
long time-snce when she cannot tell;
but now. when the sudden danger OF
separation confronts her, she feels an
awful sinking Of the heart.
Perhaps, too, he begins to pay atten-
tion to another girl: jealousy eats into
tho heart of the discarded one, and in the
solitude of her room she confesses that
she did love him. Her varying moods
and coldness have driven him to seek for
love elsewhere, and The girl who did
not value his affections when she had
them sits In her lonely room heartbroken
for the loss of love which she never
before valued.
The Same thing is often the case, too,
on the mans side For some time he
may come in constant touch with a girl
for whom he has profound respect but
would not admit for moment that he
loved her But when the chance Of n
parting comes, the latent love asserts
itself, and he knows at last that for some
time he has been blind.
Love may lie dormant In your mind,
only to awaken when your capriciousness
has driven away the man who would
once have given his life to make you
happy.
Many a life's happiness has been
wrecked because a girl has been foolish,
and has kept back the love she really
had for the man. Too late she discov-
ers her mistake. She would do anything
to get her lover back, but he is beyond
call.

Healing Value of
Good Cheer

The curative value of good cheer is
receiving a great deal OF attention just
now. The surgeons connected with one
OF the clinics at Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity have taken quite seriously to pro-
ducing good cheer for their patients.
They realize now what the people them
selves are beginning to suspect-that
laughter is a decided and definite tonic,
and more widespreading in its effects
than cardemon comp. or iron.
The walls of this clinic are lined with
good cheer placards, a graphophone
plays gay music humorous books and
magazines abound and the nurses them
selves are thoroughly trained for their
part in the cheering process, It may
sound rather as II cheer was forced upon
people, but this is not so. Nervous
cases. and especially those affected with
any form of mental trouble and melan-
cholia. show wonderful improvement
after very short stay in this atmos-
phere.
This stands to reason. The thinking
man or woman sees the power of laugh
ter on every side. Christian Science will
never do as much as laughter has done
already towards eliminating both imag-
mary and real ills. Babies laugh and de-
velop their lungs, the blood moves and
they become strong and healthy. The
child who laughs Is rarely i'll, and when
she doesn't II Is so noticeable that
mother knows enough to take the little
tndisposition in time
Not very long ago II was considered
quite heartless TO enter a sick room with
out a saddened expression or a long
face. But that has all been changed.
Nurses nowadays entertain their pa
tients with humorous anecdotes, the
doctor has q CHEEKY, wholesome way that
fairly forces renewed hope into the dis
couraged patient or course serious i'll

ouzly, for in the most optimistic light
