A FRUIT SHOWER FOR
A BRIDE-TO-BE

Many and varied are the showers
given the brides-to-be these days, yet
there is ever something new in the
way Of either novelty or usefulness.
There will be few, If any showers
for prospective brides if the flu bug
keeps hanging over our county line
fence and Threatening to come across
II we let down the bars. However, he
cannot last forever, SO cheer up. 1t
won't be long before we can again Ego
to it" and have good time once more.
While it is pretty early to be talk
ing of "fruit," still the following may
be clipped and laid away for future
reference and when the right time ar
rives, you can put it all over them"
in the way of something new by CIV
ing fruit shower" for the girl of
your "set" who is about to "cast Off
on q cruise down the sea of matri-
mony.
Invite as many friends as you like,
requesting each one % bring jar of
fruit, or preserves, or pickles, or any
thing put up" by herself, and also
bring the recipe for the contents Of
the jar. The recipe should be written
on q card taken from a filing cabinet,
furnished by the hostess. In this way
the cards will be Uniform in size and
the little filing cabinet presented by
the hostess should also contain cards
for other recipes as well. See that
each guest brings q different kind Of
fruit or pickle or jelly. The clever
hostess will think Of some novel way
in which to present them to the guest
Of honor. Can you imagine more
interesting shower or more helpful
way Of giving the bride-to be good
start in her new home, in the matter
Of good things to eat for her own ta-
BILE? This would be most appropri-
ate shower for business girl who is
leaving an office or store to be marri-
ed, as she will, no doubt be inexper-
fenced in preserving fruits and vege-
tables, and perhaps not have good
chance to secure supply for her own
home for a long time to come. The
shower can be made most attractive
by the use of fresh fruits in season,
which are to be used as a decoration
at first and later as -art of the re-
freshments. For instance, a jar of
delicious grape jelly presented in a
tiny wicker basket and surrounded
with lunches of grapes (if they are in
and the recipe for the maxine
Of the jelly written on the filing card
with the name of the donor signed on
the bottom, can be tied to the handle
Of the basket.
A tiny wheelbarrow may be filed
with . variety Of small vegetables and
in the center Of the pile q Jar Of home
made mixed pickles or relish may be
placed.
Other ideas and ways will quickly
suggest themselves to the clever hos
tess. All you need il . little thought.

WASH WITH ELECTRIC POWER
IT'S CHEAPER AND EASIER
State Agricultural College,

State Agricultural College,
Contrary to the belief of some who
operate washing machines, the wash
ing machine does not take very much
electric power. The larger sizes may
require under full load as much Is
one-sixth of a horsepower. This can
readily be transmitted by the use Of q
three-eighths-inch round belt. One
sixth horse power is about 125 watts
and, allowing for motor efficiency, the
power estimate can be based on a re-
quirement Of 175 watts. An ordinary
running period is one and half hours
which would mean about 26O watt
hours, which at ten cents per kilowatt-
hour, amounts to two and six-tenths
cents.

sure to read about the 6rst wedding

and is the son Of Mr.. and Mrs. E. d.

Well Defined" is just splendid. Also
Mrs. Henry Purrier's article on Wo-
mans Suffrage in Colorado will wake
some of 'em up. She also had very
interesting write-up on the clubs.
