AClown Party

Dear MISS Doom:
VIII you kindly help me out with
suggestions for clown party for
children around fourteen years old?
Would like some ideas IS to decor
atoms and games. Thanking you
in advance, I am,
Sincerely yours, A. ID.
A clown partyi The very name
suggests a rollicking good time. I
garbed in clown costumes, and
think that ring games would be
the order of the day. Let them
play drop the handkerchief" and
as each child is caught he must
give a forfeit. When all have given
forfeits let each do circus trick
of some sort to redeem it. For
instance, one boy might walk-or
try tom his hands. Another
might give an imitation of trained
bear; another might turn somer-
saults, and so on. The girls could
give limitations of toe dancers, bare
back riders-using rocking chairs
for galloping horses--tight-rope
walkers, with the rope stretched
over the carpet, etc. OF course the
whole performance would be in the
nature of a burlesque, and the
clumsy attempts of the children to
do the stunts" assigned to them
would probe bly, send the watchers
into gales of laughter.
Let refreshments be made of the
usual order. Circus clowns like
good things to eat as much as do
other folks. The centrepiece could
be a miniature circus ring, with
tiny circus folks performing. Or
you might use some of the pieces
in the humpty-dumpty circus,
which you will find on sale in ali
of the big stores. Favors could be
tiny dolls in clown costumes for
the girls and clown jack-in-the-
boxes for the boys.

a beautiful country. The castle was
made of stones a yard thick, and
the windows had iron bars on the
outside, so that no robbers could
get in.
You Sec" Mary Elizabeth's voice
took on deep, scary note, ''in those
days the world was full of robbers
who used to ride through the forest
on beautiful horses"
did they steal the horses, too?"
Dorothy wanted to know.
Mary Elizabeth nodded.
Il s'pose they did, Less they stole
the gold to buy them with. That
was mostly what they stole-gold.
They would find out where the bar
ons and dukes who lived in the big
castles kept their gold and then
they would ride up at night and
bind the barons and dukes and their
wives and children, and even the
servants-and if they cried out
they'd just kill them right off
and then they'd take all the gold
out of the vaults and ride away,
laughing behind their masks"
After this long speech Mary Eliza
beth paused for breath, and Helen
said with a shudder:
"How can you think of such
dr-readful things?"
Mary 'Bizbeth always tells ter
rible ones" said Dorothy; "she
nearly makes my hair stand on end,
sometimes
Il like EN-" explained Mary
Elizabeth with satisfaction, 81 wish
I'd lived two thousand years ago.
I'd made those robbers skip I'd
make b'lieve I tainted. and when
they turned their backs I'd jump
up and cut their heads off.
And throw 'em out of the win
dow" she added, delightedly,
watching Helen SILVER.
"Oh, Mary 'Lizbeth!" said that
young person, who wasn't half as
brave as one would think, to look
at her fiery red hair.
Go on with the story" said Dor
othy, what happened next. Mary
Lizbeth? You haven't told us the
name of the princess yet"
Thine enough" cried Mary Eliz-
abeth airily, waving her hand.
The name of the princess was
Ermentrude, and she"
"Where'd you get the name?"
asked Dorothy, forgetting how she
herself hated to be interrupted when
telling story
"Out of a book" glared Mary
Elizabeth. I'm going straight home
if you keep that up"
truly" promised. Dorothy, giggling.

English Plum Pudding

One-half pound suet chopped fine,
one-half pound currants, one-half
pound raisins, four eggs beaten
light, one nutmeg, two ounces
citron, lemon and orange peel
(mixed), one-half teaspoonful ginger,
one-ha1f pound bread crumbs, one
half pound flour, one-half pint of
milk, one-quarter pound sugar. one
half cup of molasses. Stir all the
ingredients together well, then put
in bowls well buttered. Fill the
bowls about two-thirds full, which
allows for raising. Tie the bowls
containing the pudding in cloths,
set in water and boil about five
hours. This recipe will make three
medium-sized buildings. They can
be kept indefinitely. Note-Brandy
may be added, if so desired.
EDYTH, Summit, \. j.
Delighted to hear from you, Edyth.
Send us the other recipes as soon as
you can.

Reduce Your Gas Bills

Use the gas stove intelligently and
save little wastes. Matches are
cheaper than gas.
Have all food ready for the blaze
before the burner is lighted. The
burner may be extinguished after the
food is cooked and still retain enough
heat to keep the dish warm.
Never use a large burner when a
small one will do.
After cooking has reached the boil
ing point turn the gas down to a
point which win keep it at that stage.
A strip of asbestos pinned around
a burner causes the heat to concen-
trate on the cooking instead of scat
tering into the atmosphere.
Place these hints above the gas
stove and watch the gas bill take u
slump.-Exchanse.

Your Christmas List

OF course. no ones Christmas CIV
ing ought to be so great that it i'm
poses a tax on her strength or wealth
But there is a great difference be
tween giving expensive gifts to
everyone one knows and giving none
at all. The woman with time and a
little money to spend Is really hap
pier for gift giving to persons OF
whom she is fond, says an exchange
So, get to work on your Christmas
gifts. If you have already made and
bought some, look them over and
make a note of them. Then make
note of the persons you wish to re-
member and just what you wish to
give them. Each time you make or
buy something, check it off and plan
to have your whole list checked off
full week before Christmas.

1T is not considered necessary to
enter into detailed recapitulation OF
all of the data considered in connec.
ton with these charges, or of the fin
ancial operations relating thereto, as
such details can not help the present
situation. In the opinion of your com.
mlttee, however, the more closely tho
affairs OF your company are investi-
gated the more credit will be reflect
ed upon your agents for their devo-
ton to your interests, in the admins
tration of your business.
Before the passage of the present
tariff BILL brighter times seemed as
sured for the plantation. Finally, and
after great sacrifice, the property had
been equipped with every improve
ment necessary to it's success, and the
great drain for improvements was at
an end. Notwithstanding the increas-
ed cost of labor, the cost of produc-
ton was gradually decreasing, while
the output of sugar was increasing.
What the future has in store for the
McBryde Sugar Company, Limited, no
one can foresee, as this can only be
determined by the price of sugar The
present situation could not have been
anticipated, and it is doubtful wheth-
er it could have been avoided But
whatever the future outcome may be,
your committee feels that, judging by
their past acts, you are in the hands
of agents who will employ every pos
sibie economy in conscientious and
intelligent endeavor to weather for
you the coming years Of prospective
low prices, and thus, if possible, save
the property for the stockholders, who
have, with great personal sacrifice. in
