ASSOCIATED Press)

The Italian armies along the Tag
iamento are menaced by another
Austro- German stroke similar to that
which caused the recent great re-
treat. The Teutons have crossed the
river, and if they advanced in force
southwark it would place the Italians
in the same position from which they
retreated on the Isonzo.
London advices indicate the British
are again on the move on the Fland-
ers front, new attack in the vicinity
of Passchendaele being reported.
Meager advices received stated that
the progress made is satisfactory. On
the Champagne front the French
broke into the German lines at sew
eral points and took a few prisoners.

! ACalendar PartyIs
| Jolly at New Years

n CALENDAR party makes a novel
N and informal entertainment for
the evening of New Years day
or any night during holiday week. 1t
is very pretty idea to make the invi-
tations look as much like the first page
of one of the single leaf calendars as
possible. Paste on sheet of white
note paper a leaflet from the calender
bearing the date on which the party
is to be held. Below this write:
This is an invitation hearty
To my little calendar party. y-
Next Monday night at eight o'clock
Bring all the wits you have in stock.
BE sure to come whate'er the weather;
Well have a jolly time together.
When the guests have arrived an
nounce to the assembled company that
they have been entered as contestants
in calendar race. To prepare for it
take one of the single leaf calendars
which you can buy anywhere for few
cents. This contains 365 leaves, or one
for every day in the year. Tear the
leaflets from the cover and hide them
all over the house or apartment, in the
living room, hall or spare bedroom or
wherever you want your guests to 60.
At a given signal, the blowing of a
whistle or the ringing of bell, every
body starts on a search for the leaflets.
This can be continued for as long or
as short time as desired.
The first prize should be given to the
person who has collected the greatest
number of days represented by the
calender leaves. This can be an Orna-
mental calendar of some sort. The Sec
ond prize should go to the person who
has the most calendar leaves for any
one month, but it is forbidden for play
ers to swap leaves to accomplish this.
A little diary makes good second
prize.
There should be special prizes for
the people who find the dates Of the
most Observation-Disclosures, New Years,
Washington's birthday, LincOln's birth
day, Memorial day, Fourth of July,
Labor day (the first Monday in Sep
tember) and Thanksgiving day (the
last Thursday in November). A differ
ent prize should be given to the holder
of each holiday date and should be
something appropriate to the occasion.
For instance, the prize for finding De-
cember 20 should be tiny figure of
Santa Claus or a small stocking made
of tarlatan or net and filled with tiny
candles. New Years day prize could
have small red blotter decorated with
the figure Of Father Time cut from q
card.
After the prizes have been awarded
there is usually time before supper for
! the date game. To play this 1t is nee
essary for the hostess to, prepare in
advance number of slips on which
certain well-known historic dates have
been wrltten-for example, 1892, 1866,
a776, 1914, etc. These, of course, stand
for the discovery of America by CO.
lumbus, the battle of Hastings (Nor-
man conquest of England), the Dec
laratiOn of Independence of the Ameri-
can colonies and the beginning of the
great world war. Each player draws a
slip, reads it aloud, and whoever first
names the event that makes it famous
receives the slip.-New York World.

Hints for the Housekeeper.

Lettuce and cabbage can be quick
ly shredded with the scissors.
Articles to be dyed should first be
washed so they will be free from
dirt.
Nuts, because of their oil, form a
valuable contribution to the dinner
menu.
When beating eggs use a pinch of
salt and they will be much lighter for
the cake.
A nice way to serve grapefruit is
to garnish it with cubes of firm red
and yellow jelly.
Cheaper cuts of meat, well cooked
with fine sauce, are quite as appe-
tizing as the more expensive ones.

Some New
Year Customs
TIME sole record of the observance

TIME sole record of the observance
of the New Year by the pilgrims
in the new world, named New
England, was most prosaic, most brief.
"We went to work betimes," said Alice
Morse Earle, the famous investigator
of old-time American customs. Many
of the good Puritan ministers thought
the celebration or even notice of the
day in any way savOred Of improper
and unchristian reverence for the
heather god Janus. Yet they came
from land where New Year was Sec
Ond in Importance and in domestic OBJ
servance only to Christmas. Through
out every English county New Years
eve was always celebrated. In many
1t was called by the pretty name of
Singing Fen, from the custom which
obtained of singing the last of the
Christmas carols at that time.
In Scotland the last day of the year
was called by the uglier name of Hog
manay, name of unknown and in.
applicable derivation, and in Scotland
it was regarded as the most popular
Of all the draft days." as the Christ
mas holidays were termed. Scotch
children of the poorer class in small
towns still ask on that day from door
to door at the house of Weather fami-
lies for dole of oat bread, calling out
5 "Hogmanay" or some of the local rimes
which are given in Chambers "Popu-
lar Rimes of Scotland" such as:

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi'

of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat

His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomcl does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct 1t. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teethl
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. tits best not
to take calomel, but to let Dr.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
