SOCIAL NOTES


Mr.. and Mrs. A. c. Fuller were the
victims of complete surprise on last
Wednesday evening when a six O'CLOCK
dinner was given in their honor by
the members of the faculty OF the eX-
tension summer school, the occasion
being the seventeenth wedding ami
yersary of Mr.. and Mrs. Fuller. Prof.
C. E. Humphrey had taken the Fuller
family out in his car presumably for
a ride, when he drove directly to the
central school building in order to in
spect the gas machine which had been
reported out of order. The plan work
ed perfectly and when they arrived
at the domestic science rooms they
found the members of the faculty In
waiting and covers laid for dinner at
a table which was most beautiful In
it's decorations of golden glow and oak
leaves which were the same decora-
lions used at the wedding seventeen
years ago. The place cards were very
original and unique and were in 'har-
mony with the color scheme. The
chairs occupied by the guests of hon
or were also decorated in like man,
ner. A sumptuous three course din
ner was served, having been prepared
entirely by the members of the fac
ulty, after which the company adj
journed to the Fuller home, where the
remainder of the evening was spent
in delightful social way, the gen
tlemen present furnishing some rare
musical entertainment.

SAVE LATE VEGETABLES

"A cool, well-ventilated cellar
under the dwelling offers good
conditions for the storage Of
late vegetables. In cellars that
! are too warm on account OF con-
tanning a furnace for heating the
dwelling, room may be par
titioned off either in one corner
! or eat one end Of the cellar,
where the temperature may be
controlled by means Of outside
windows.
Barrels, crates, boxes or bins,
may be used as containers for
the various vegetables, but NOV
able containers are preferable
to built-in bins, as it Is possible
to remove them for cleaning. 1t
is advisable to construct shelves
or a slat floor to keep the crates,
boxes, baskets, and other con-
tainers off the ground. This is
highly desirable to insure free
circulation Of air and to prevent
the containers from harboring
mice, rats and vern1in. Shelves
for canned goods along one side
Of the room need not be more
than 6 inches wide.
