If you're planning pernuptial
function for that holiday bride. and
don't want to offer the usual bridge
or tango for diversion, why not try
all afternoon or evening Of contest
or games.
Occasionally this informa. sort of
entertainment proves most delightful
and it gives the hostess SO much op-
portunity to exercise her originality
that it's a real temptation to the
clever girl
There are really hundreds Of inter-
esting games and contests which you
might furnish for your guests. Take
for instance "A Romance from
Shakespeare" Not long ago one clev-
er girl entertained her guests for a
considerable length Of time working
out the romance. Questions We're
asked to be answered by names of
Shakespeares plays, and the key to
the thing is as follows:
Who are the lovers? Romeo and
Juliet.
What was their courtship like? A

Why Not Spread Christmas Cheer in August?

ably more happy were they extended
throughout the entire year.
There is a type of man and woman
who make themselves believe that
their gifts at Christmas time wipe
out all their Indebtedness to human
ity throughout the entire year
But indeed they are mistaken. For
each day brings it's duty to bring hap
piness and cheer to some person, a d
no matter how lavish may be ones
expenditures, or how wide spread may
be ones charity at Christmas, i. can
in no way make up for the all-year-
round duty to bring happiness to
whomsIever may need it within our
circle Of acquaintances.
And so, while Christmas giving is a
JOY and brings happiness alike to the
giver and the recipient. wouldn't it
be a fine thing if we would spread
that joy throughout the year? "
Wouldn't it be most commendab.e
thing if we would sometimes do the
unconventional thing and scatter a
little Christmas cheer during the hot
days of July and August when
Christmas cheer seems SO far away?
v7hc.. do you think about it?

Women have determined to dictate
to trust.
The things they plan to dictate are
price AMI quality.
And they've chosen trust which
monopolizes very perishable article
of food-the egg. So that's one point
in their favor.
Spontaneously throughout the coun-
try there has arisen this movem ent
from the women to boycott lie egg
trust.
They have come to a RELAXATION of
the fact, that the time has core when
action must be taken. And they have
realized the very potent fact t mis-
action must come from the women
since the women are the ones who
buy eggs.
Three things they propose to do:
Become informed as to the kind of
eggs they are buying;
Determine the source from which
these eggs are procured;
And secure price which is COM
mensurate with the cost Of eggs and
a reasonable profit.
Three things also, they have deter
mined not to do:

There are neglected ones who need

need cheer, there are destitute ones

ones who need thoughtfulness, a
whole heap more than they do at
Christmas time, when happiness IS
in the atmosphere.

cheer are among the happiest things
which go to make up our lives. And

VOICELESS LECTURES NEWEST SCHEME
FOR SUFFRAGE WORK
eJj,faQ2

Voiceless lecturers are quite the
newest things in suffrage propaganda
work.
This was one of the methods which
was discussed at the recent meeting
of the National Equal Suffrage asso-
citation, which was held in Washing
ton, D. G. And despite the time hon.
ored claim that women must talk"
women have decided to see what they
can do by keeping still.
And so they have originated what
they call doll exhibits which are
moved about from town to town, and
displayed in the shop windows, where
the passerby may read while he runs.
It's in the nature of little object
lesson worked out through electricity
which propels the various figures,
and demonstrates more clearly than
any amount Of talking could do. the
efficacy or inefficacy of any plan or
theme which the women might choose
to exploit.
For instance, among the various
exhibits which have been originated
for this purpose is one which is called
miss Los Angeles"
Miss Los Angeles" Is a very inter-
esting exhibit which tells of the eff

AMERICAN WOMEN JOIN IN MOVEMENT
TO BOYCOTT EGG TRUST

TO decrease the price on strictly
fresh eggs:
To discourage the use Of storage
eggs:
Or pa the price of fresh ,,gs when
only storage eggs are being secured.
With this much of their plan out
lined, the women Of the country,
through clubs, through suffrage or
CARNATIONS and through Housewives
Leagues, have determined to make q
continuous fight against the monopo-
ly on tbs price of fresh eggs, which
shall not end until they are able to>
secure this necessary article of nu-
triton at fair and reasonable price.
When they have achieved this end,
they propose to take up other similar
campaigns in an effort to secure
more reasonable cost of living.
With the Housewives League of
America as the prime mover Of the
work, assisted by organizations OF
various sorts throughout the country.
the movement has become a general
one, and it has not only an econom-
ical element, but quite as much an
element Of the altruistic.
In many of the cities, and indeed in
some OIL the smaller towns, 1QVallOS
are suffering, children are dying, be-
cause it is impossible to furnish the
nourishing elements of food from the
egg because it's price is so prohibitive.
1t has become a problem serious in
the difficulty of it's solution for char
ity workers, and it is this factor, quite
as much as the more practical eco
nomic one, which has led to the gen.
eral crusade against the egg trust.
The fight is not against the retail
dealer, who in most instances suf-j
fers quite as much as the consumer
in the monopoly. Only against those
dealers who willfully sell for pro-
.hibitive prices the storage eggs which
they secure for much less. The fight
is directed against the cold storage
man who buys eggs from the coun-
try during the summer months at
is and IS cents per dozen, resell
them in the winter to the retail deal
ers at profit Of so per cent.
Out of the fight there will come
more general knowledge Of egg
quality, and already housewives are
refusing to be satisfied with eggs at
the price of fresh eggs, simply because
they come from the country, for some
farmers there are who are guilt
selling preserved eggs for strictly
fresh ones.
But the fight is on.
Women from all over the country
have Joined in 1t.

to bring home to the people that en-

forcibly without the utterance Of a
single word; and, of course, there re
many other similar exhibits.

solutely no thought Of the danger to
themselves and others which they are
mourning
Many fond father and mother
have showered germ laden gifts on
their little ones at Christmas time
without even thinking Of the posi-
BILE harm they might be doing. They
have not given thought to the
hordes Of tubercular people, and 9TH
er diseased persons. who had preceded
them to the department where they
purchased the toys, every one OF
whom may have left a germ on the
toy.
All this danger might be averted if
people would desist from the everlast-
ing testing of Christmas toys, and any
possible chance Of infection could be
avoided if parents would take some
means Of sterilization through which
to protect their children.
There is much agitation these days
about individual drinking cups, and
justly too. But it's quite as important
that equal attention be given to the
protection of the Christmas toys.
Don't blow the Christmas horns.
