who have attended this delightful and

cause there are so many balls in the be
ginning Of the year, and Philadelphia gets
used to novelties. of course; but this is
novelty which has been run on such real
New York lines during its three years of
existence il would be a mighty poor thing
TO let il become less popular. However,
there is not much danger Of that with
an organizer such as Mrs. Scott, who
always has some attraction for the mem
bers and their guests,
People seem lately as if they would
rather watch than dance, and last Satur-
day at the club when the ballroom was
jammed with tables and $50 guests We're
there only about 100 danced. II really
makes it nicer for the dancers, however,
for there is so much more room, The
second series will go well into Lent, and
as the club is about the only big thing
which keeps up during that time there
are many parties then. The club has such
members as Mr.. and Mrs. Stotesbury, Mr.

WHEN WOMEN FISH.
Il Makes the Trip Such Jolly and En-.
joyabIe One.

IL does not serve to mellow a mans
disposition TO take woman or two
into the boat when he goes bass fish
ing. For women always want to fish
yet never could they or would they
stick those horrid, nasty, wriggline
angleworms on she hook.
So, between batting their hooks and
removing the perch and pumpkin seeds
and styaining your spine TO keep the
boat from turning turtle and the lines
from getting snarled up, you have a
most enjoyable days outing. do you
not7 Yes, you do not! I'll run the risk
of answering that question for you.
And then. when you finally hook a
five pound bass weighing at least three
pounds and eight ounces by his own
standard scales, and play him for
twenty minutes against their earnest
entreaties not TO bring that big, ugly
thing into the boat or else they'd jump
out-you calmly ease up on the line and
give him back, also his freedom, do
you notY Yes, you do not!
And when the day is spent they tell
you what a gorgeous time they have
had and make you promise to fetch
them again, and you promise, Of course.

some Of the accidents or Incidents charged
to the kaisers spy system, In the early
days Of the war there was a temptation
to connect every untoward happening
with espionage. Whenever an explosion
in an ammunition plant occurred, the in.
vestigators were wont TO dismiss at once
the casual theories of accident and hint
rather vaguely at plots, BY giving in.
different credence TO these explanations,
newspapers overlooked the probabilities
of chance and centered their attention on
the possibilities of mans manipulation.
Happily, the disposition to look the
facts in the face is becoming uppermost
and to-day the investigator who seeks
TO solve the mystery of an explosion
must take cognizance of conditions which
existed before its work of ruin was done
The land is not yet rid of Germanic in
nuence and the need for vigilance is ever

WHY BLOOD SHOULD Be RED

The bright red color of the blood is
caused by the presence In it ofred cor
puscles. It is these little bodies that
carry nourishment to the tissues.
They also cause the glow of health in
cheeks and lips.
When the blood Is deficient in these
red eorpuscles the person not only be-
comes pale but the body is under
nouriShed, the weight Is usually re-
duced and as the nerves share in the
general starvation some form of ner-
vousness follows. When the blood is
improved in quality the tissues are
better nourished and all the functions
Of the body are better performed.
When the blood lacks red corpus
cles il is a scientific fact that a course
of treatment with DR.. Williams Pink
Pills will cause them TO increase. This
can be demonstrated by a microscopic
examination and anyone can prove it
by looking in a mirror, for an increase
in red blood shows quickly in the
cheeks and especially in the lining
membranes of the eyelids.

Here Are Some Tips for Your Garden

In an article about gardens in the Sep.
TENDER Womans Home Companion a
writer says;
when cabbages are packed in a pit
they are pulled up by the roots and laid
usually in three rows, directly on the
ground and upside down. On top of
these three rows, two rows are laid /;
then the pile is banked exactly as de-
scribed for root crops, excepting that the
straw is not necessary And as the roots
Of cabbage are fairly long, these are
usually allowed to protrude from the
earth pile. Mild freezing improves the
flavor of cabbage, so it is not necessary
to cover with manure unless in the ex-
IRENE north.
Onions must be both cool and dry,
and an attic that does not freeze is a
good place for them They will sprout
if too warm and rot if too moist, so one
must be very careful TO see that they
have exactly the right conditions. Like
Towering bulbs, they are best kept on
Slated trays or in slat baskets which
admit free circulation of air, and if you
must have them in cellar. hang the
basket from the rafters rather than al
low it to stand on the floor, and provide
at opposite points of the room small
openings in the walls for cross ventila-
ton"
