war. Selections by the orchestra and national dance by one of their num- Der were freely applauded. And then Baby Potts assisted" the little brown brothers with an imitation of their dance in costume She made a big hit, and the house was convulsed with laughter.
 H. D. Sorvik sang When the Bell in the Lighthouse Rings" and Burn ing Love-" and his rich bass voice was heard to splendid advantage. The house was liberal in it's applause of this splendid number. Carl Ris- tine, in his clever buck and wing dancing, was as popular as ever, and he was recalled repeatedly.
 Mrs. Hubbert rendered two songs, Here Is My Heart" and Just a Babys Prayer at Twilight" with much feeling and beauty. The latter song, which made such a strong appeal at former entertainment, was equally in favor last night, and Mrs. Hubbert was compelled to respond to repeat ed encores.
 A character dance by Miss Ella Fraisure and Kenny Holden was ex- cruciatingly funny, and MT. Holden was the recipient of a bouquet made up of expensive vegetables, which Dr. Chase presented over the footlights in a neat speech.
 Miss Ruth Barrett and Miss Fran ces Fraisure, assisted by a chorus of young ladies, rendered Kiss Me" and "Mickey" in a most pleasing man. her. The singing and dancing of the young ladies was most generously ap- plauded, and the act was indeed one of the best on the program. The chorus consisted of Misses OLough- len, Churchill Foster, Giles, Ander- son and Purvis.
 The finale, Just Like Washington Crossed the Delaware" a solo by Mrs. Hary Kerr assisted by four ladies dressed as Red Cross nurses and four of Uncle Sam's sturdy lads from the Fourteenth Infantry, furnished a fit ting climax to a delightful entertain ment, and gave opportunity for ratri- otic enthusiasm on the part of the audience. In fact, the audience really seemed loath to leave, and the cur, tain was raised several times for the repitition of the chorus.
 Miss Madeline Anderson filled the arduous task of accompanist in the second part.

HE WAS THERE TO SLEEP
And Little Thing Like the Building
Burning Couldn't Rouse Dutch"
From Sumber.

At camp Dutch" as he was called
was reputably the biggest sleepyhead
and most absent-minded individual ex-
listing.
One night "Dutch" was, as usual,
in blissful repose, when some of the
buildings In the barracks caught fire
and the alarm was spread rapidly to
all parts of the camp, and the fire
finally came alarmingly near the bunk
where dutch" was dreaming of shoot
ing the Huns into Hades.
In his sleep Dutch" finally got up
and wandered to another part of the
barracks, where he crawled into some
ones bunk and peacefully slept on
amid the roar and clatter, flames and
smoke.
Not until long after the building had
burned to the ground and only cinders
and ashes were left did any one think
of Dutch" After prolonged search
they finally found him, sweetly and
blissfully sleeping with the cover
pulled up around his chin like an in
nocent babe, and closely clasping in
either hand his girls picture and q

Band and Star on the Arm.
There is no definite way to make
these mourning clothes. They follow
the usual fashions, but they should not
be conspicuous. This emphasis is not
observed by certain segments of So
ciety, whose clothes must be exagger-
Gted to be in keeping with their per-
sonalities; but one speaks of the mass.
SO far, these clothes are for those
who will wear black, but America must
be prepared for the wearing of colors
by those who have lost their men.
This must be brought about by ma
tional feeling and by the exigencies Of
the labor situation. Women who are
busy, women who have small salaries,
women who are dependent upon the
Red Cross for their support while their
men are in battle, will not change their
clothes when they receive the fatal
message from the war department.
Dark-blue serge, black taffeta frocks,
gray gowns, checked suits and white
shirtwaists will be worn. The Ameri-
can woman will adopt the British wom-
ans bravery and put a black band on
the arm of whatever coat or frock she
possesses.

less than five thousand is too small to
make any physical impression. The
mental impression grows, however, and
women speak Of mourning who have
heretofore not thought Of it.
1t is situation to which we must
look forward. There is no gentle way
of waging war, as was said by the
chief of staff. Men must die that ma
tons may live, and women must lose
those men.
We face the truth quite calmly these
days, because, as a nation, we usually
grapple with the inevitable with the
belief of youth and the patience of
age. Women are supposed to be O
gentle race, nurtured by chivalrous
men, and our nation is supposed to be
one of peace, serenity and calm.
Will We Wear Mourning?
1t is a strange thing that today we
link this thinking and talking about
immortality with an intense desire to
laugh, to be amused, to do our best
for those who are going and coming
and to lead our lives as though war
had not smashed a shell across its
routine.
With this spirit the idea of deer
mourning is not consistent. The world
has gone through several rapid phases
on the subject Of wearing crepe during
the last two years. France has been
the nation that thought 1t most decent
TO wear the deepest habiliments of woe
out of respect to the dead and comfort
TO cne's own feelings; but even France

ing so that her women often do not
wear crepe or even widows bonnet
Already the long crepe veil has prac
tically disappeared. One sees women
OF ultra-conservative tastes dressed In
black chiffon, with black silk hat and
a small mourning veil of coarse-mesf
black net, so open that it is merely
a cobweb of silk strings.
This Is O widows costume. There
are sisters and mothers who even omit
the veil and wear simple black clothes
There are other sisters who put this
broad band around the sleeve; anC
this has already been done, mind you

Maple strip is sweeter than sugar, 80
less is needed, while corn sirup Is not
as sweet and larger amount will be

Whey Honey.-Boil together one
cupful of whey and one third of cup
full of honey until of the consistency of
strained honey. This strip will keep
Indefinitely and Is fine for waffles or
griddle cakes. Use little thinner for
pudding sauces.
Whey Lemonade.-To quart of
whey add six tablespoonfuls of honey,
the juice of two lemons and the grated
rind or sliced lemon added for extra
flavor. Mix, chill and serve as bev-
erage. If wanted for punch add any
seasonable fruit with fruit juices. Dou-
bic the amount of honey and fruit
juice is about the right proportion for
punch.
Bar lie Due Currants.-Remove the
seeds from the large cherry currants,
using a darning needle. Take equal
weights of currants and honey. Bring
the honey to the boiling point, then
add the currants and cook until the
skins are tender, being careful not to
destroy the shape by rapid boiling. If
the fruit is so juicy that the sirup is
thinned remove the currants and re-

right consistency. Put into glasses
and seal with paraffin.
Honey Charlotte Russe.-Chill one
cupful of honey and stir 1t carefully
into quart of whipped cream. Line

the honey and cream. Set away to
