day service held at the Kensington Congrega tional church this morning by the congregations of that and the Methodist church. Rev. Edwin M. Pickup, pastor of the Methodist church delivered an interesting ser mon on Hebrews, 1922, "Who, for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross.'' ....... Service in Berlin Tonight. 'The Cross in Our Own Experience" is the subject upon which Rev. Sam uel A. Fiske will preach at the Berlin Congregational church this evening. He spoke last evening on the theme.
 '"The Passion of Our Lord" Mrs
 Schirm will sing this evening.
 The choir of the Kensington Con-
 gregational church is to sing the
 Easter cantata, "The Crucified," by
 George B. Nevin, on Sunday evening
 at o'clock. The music is very beau
 tiful, with fine dramatic effects and
 has 8 quartet of women's voices, male chorus, women's chorus and ; solos for baritone, alto and soprano, besides the mixed chorus work. The music in the Kensington church has always been a gift ot love, on the part of organ1st and singers, and the choir has been most fortunate in having friends who help in these special services.
 The alto soloist on Sunday even- ing is Miss Kathryn Stillman Bunce of New Britain, whose rich, sympa- thetic voice Is admirably suited to her work, one of the finest passages of the entire cantata. Oscar Ben son of East Berlin is to sing the i baritone solo, and those who have heard him will look forward with pleasure to another opportunity. Other solo parts will be taken by
 Kensington singers and there will be
 piano and organ music at the open ing of the service.
 Luncheon Saturday.
 The officers of the Woman's For eign Mission Auxiliary will give a
 luncheon to the members at 1
 an opportunity for discussion of
 some plans for advance work, and
 it is hoped that there will be a large attendance.

 Cabin Blanes Alderman.
 Paul Cabin of New Britain, whose automobile was in collision with carriage owned by Albert Alderman of Pennington, on Central Square yes- terday afternoon, called at the Herald cffice today to give his version of the accident. MT. Cabin claimed that his machine was stalled at the center and Alderman's horse backed from the watering trough into it. A wheel on the wagon was broken and Mrs. AL derman was thrown against the ma- chine, sustaining a few body bruises, not of a serious character.
 Deputy Sheriff w. c. Hart stated today that witnesses declared the auto ran into the wagon and that AL derman was in no sense responsible for the collision. The officer expects that Cabin will pay for the damage.

usually worn with white or colored

Mules. with and without heels, are
perhaps the most comfortable OF all
boudoir slippers. The fact that they
can be SO easily slipped on IL one Of
their chief attractions. They are made
of cretonne or ribbon, of quilted satin
and of kid. Some Of them. too, are
made of the lovely embroidered Japan

in various sorts Of slippers.

Popcorn Dainties.

DOPCORN BALLS.@To four quarts Of
popped corn take one-half cup OF
molasses and one-fourth cup of sugar.
Do not add water. Boil the sirup until
it will harden in water, not brittle;
then add one-fourth of a teaspoonful
Of soda to improve the color. Pour this
over the corn, mix well and make into
balls. Wet your hands in cold water
when molding the balls, SO that the
corn will not stick to them.
To make popcorn bricks use the same
process, but have the molds made the
size required, but without a bottom.
Set the molds on a smooth surface and
fill with the prepared corn: then have
block the size of the inside OF the
mold and about one inch thick. Place
on top of the corn in the mold and
hammer down until the top surface OF
the block is level with the edge OF the
mold; then lift up the mold. leaving
the corn and block on the table. Re
move the block from the corn and your
popcorn brick Is ready to wrap in wax
paper.
SUGARED CORN.-Take one cup of
the best white sugar, three tablespoon
fuls of water and one teaspoonful OF
butter. Pour all into an iron kettle
and boil it until ready to candy, then
throw into an iron kettle and boil until
ready to candy; then throw into the
mass three-Quarters OF freshly popped
corn. Stir continually until the sugar
is evenly distributed over the corn;
then remove from the fire and stir un-
til it cools little. You then have each
kernel separate and all nicely covered
with sugar. It should be watched close
ly while on the Ore to prevent scorch-
ing.

sometimes they are straight at the heel

Getting Ready for Winter.

TsHE housewife has a busy season
before her, for now she must be-
4 gin getting ready for winter.
First of all she will give her house a
general cleaning, not a regular house
cleaning, for that will scarcely be
necessary, but a careful overhauling.
She will begin in the attic and end in
the cellar.

since gone to the ragbag, two or
three pairs of old shoes that will never
be worn again, paper patterns Of
styles long since gone out and hun
dred other dust catchers which come
under the name of trash.
-.
Remove every piece of clothing,
boxes, etc, from closets and clothes
presses and sweep thoroughly. If you
have a large lamp or a gasoline stove
light 1t and set 1t in the apartment
until the walls are perfectly dry. then
leave some chloride of lime in the
place. II there are any old rags, wash
the ones that are needed and discard
all others. Burn useless papers and re-
move every bit of the trash that ac-
cumulates in even the best regulated
homes.
All articles that are to be repacked
should be exposed to the sunlight. Re-
member that all Of the closets must be
used throughout a long. cold, damp
winter and that they should be cleaned
and aired early in the season.
There Is nothing more obnoxious in a
house than musty odor. Bedding long
