SOCIAL EVEN is
Children's Masoue, Outing Club.

One of the prettiest and most de-
lightful children's parties ever given
in Davenport was the masQue OF Sat
urday afternoon at the Outing club, at
which Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Grilk en-
tertained for their two children, Lou
Use and Charles Grilk, Jr.
The party was in the nature of a
birthday celebration in honor of the
18th anniversary of the little hostess.
Mrs. Grilk received informally in
the wicker reception parlor. The
children were all masked, and there
was a bewildering variety of flower
girls and velvet garbed pages; SOL
diers in khaki and sailors in blue and
white; Boy Scouts, Spanish bullfight-
ers and grandees, clowns and Pier
rots, old-fashioned boys and girls, Red
Cross nurses. and Little Bo-Peeps
looking for their lost sheep.
Considerable secrecy had surround
ed the fashioning of the costumes. SO
that there was great time guessing
who was who" until the Virginia
reel helped unravel the mystery by
eliminating in the unmasking.
There was a series Of games in the
Musical Chair" "Grunt." and other
equally fascinating diversions, all un-
der the direction of Miss Mary Hill,
with Mrs. Evlan Sargent Of Moline
at the piano
The national airs were played in the
grand march which announced ad-
journment to the dining room for re-
freshments. every one receiving flag
which was waved to the music of
America" as the little guests trooped
merrily down the stairs.
A buffet lunch was served in the
square dining room and north hall
| the national colors- being used in dec
orations of the serving table. There
were pretty favors as souvenirs for
each one of the guests in balloons
skipping ropes, Washington caps, fans
windmills and horns.

Household Hints
Things Worth knowing.

A Hint In Economy to those wear
ing rubber heels. When heels become
run over 60 to the shoe repair man
and have him remove heels, putting the
rubber heel of right shoe on left shoe
and vice versa. In this way you will
get twice as much wear out Of your
rubber heels as you would ordinarily.
To Clean Aluminium perfectly, rub
with cloth wet with coal oil and COW
cred with salt.
When Shirts Become worn at the
cuffs and neck cut off neck band, put
on a laydown collar; cut off worn
sleeves to three-quarters length and
sew on new cuffs. Both collar and
cuffs are of some white material at
hand Then cut waist right length,
put hem in bottom and insert rubber.
Nothing Fills the Place of buffer
in trunk like newspapers; they are
so unyielding that wrinkles and pro-
tuberances cannot make themselves
felt.
raavy article at the bottom of a trunk
and the light ones on top-the bag
gage handlers know no top and no
bottom. Convenience In handling is
all that concerns them. Keeping an
even, smooth service for each success
sive layer one is doing ones best to
protect the contents.
Bed Covering-Fasten paper -four
sacks to an old blanket and place be-
tween two comforters on the bed. II
is far better than newspapers and ir
fastening them to a blanket they stay
in place and do not rattle SO much
A good way to do is to use a layer ot
! -four sacks in making comforters with
the batting.
| Fine Substitute for furniture pol
ish. if the scratch is not too deep (and
even then it will cover it)-Use ar
! English walnut meat.
Household Cement-Take equa
| parts wood or coal ashes. salt and
any kind of dry clay. Sift togethe,
through sieve, add water to make liks
mortar. This will get hard as a stont
and find many uses for it in the home
To Clean Furnace Pipe = Take
small piece of zinc. put in furnace
when Goals are red and it will clear
all the SCOT out of pipes with no dan
ger.
