THE ENGAGEMENT LUNCHEON.
Laura a. Klcknan

tAny caterer keeps heartmoulds.
and will furnish 1t in this way)
Naturally, the shape Of the individual
portions will excite comment and sus-
pic!on that this luncheon has a pur-
pose behind IL, but certainly will not
come until one of the ladies discover
In the center of her ice cream- heart
small roll Of oiled paper In this roll
she will find another sip Of paper con-
tanning the names Of the engaged
couple. (Any caterer can carry out
instructions Of this nature.)
OF course the finish OF the luncheon
will be a hilarious one. Everybody
will talk together and the news, COM
ing thus as a surprise. will have tre-
mendous effect.
The menu for such a luncheon as
this, should be no different from the
ordinary guest-luncheon menu. with
the one exception Of the ice cream
moulds; otherwise. it will excite sus-
picion in regard to an announcement
and spoil the surprise at the end. Such
menu as the following for instance,
would be appropriate:
Hors- toeuvres
Chicken and Rice Timbales
Victoria Sandwiches
Rex Salad
Ice Cream Hearts Angel Cake
Iced Coffee
Hors- d'oeuvres Make canapes
Ground or oblong pieces Of toasted
bread) Of white bread and on eaDn
individual portion spread butter which
has been favored with minced and
chopped peppers. Mould over the
toast cooked egg -yolks which have
been sharpened with capers. Top with
pyramid Of chopped pickle.
Victoria Sandwiches-Butter crust
| less slices of thinly-cut Boston brown
| bread, spread with butter, then with
mayonnaise dressing, and put them
, Together With sliced, yell drained cu
| cumbers.
| Rex Salad-Six eggs, tomatoes. "

juice or extract, heavy cream, "

ham, onion, celery sal. pepper and

ture. Now remove the skins from the
three large tomatoes and cut them in
half, removing enough of the mem
branes to permit one of the stuffed
eggs to nestle into each half tomato.
Serve on lettuce leaves with cooked
dressing. (This recipe serves six ger
J sons.)

please write about the kind Of
luncheon one should give to announce
the engagement Of a dear friend" asks
one Of my readers. Il can afford 10
have a caterer make the ice cream
but the rest Of the meal l wish to pre-
pare and serve with the help Of my
one maid. The engagement is totally
unsusp ected by any OF the ladies who
are to be my guests, and I wish it to
come as a great surprise TO them-that
is. I wish to announce II in some very
original way. not just by word OF
mouth"
Under these conditions, a hostess
should invite her guests to luncheon
in the usual way. No table dernra-
tons should give any suggestion OF
a coming announcement. The guests
must, at the start, see no difference
between the luncheon and any other
luncheon they have attended.
Then, with the. ice cream course.
should come the first suggestion of
an impending surprise: the ice cream
should be served in the form Of hearts.

sums in ready cash.
Be-: William Is troubled as 10 tho

These accounts have been quite for

Germans recently from the Fatherlapd
declare there is a great deal of purely
personal sympathy for William among
laIl classes and that il Is likely he will
receive a large portion Of the value OF
what he owned. They say II Is prob
able that most of the castles and coun-
| try houses will be sold and the cash
result paid to Williams account, but
number of them may be retained as
government property to be used for the
purposes Of local government head
quarters. This they consider an equit-
able arrangement which will not de-
prive the ex-monarch of his rights as a
private citizen as, they believe. would
be the case If his property were con-
| fiscated.

Of hom, made beer for personal con-
sumption is a violation of prohi0ttory
laws OF Iowa, and private breweries
must 90. This announcement was
made by Attorney General II. NJ. Hav-
ner. The attorney generals action fol-
lows closely the decision by r, y. Hol-
saple, superintendent OF the Iowa An
ii saloon League TO wage a campaign
against persons who make their own
beer al home
Many In Operation.
Decision of the attorney general af-
fects several thousand homes in Iowa,
as druggists and temp bar proprietors,
who sell ingredients for the manufac-
ture OF home made beer, declare that
they sell scores Of packages of malt
and hops daily.
Hayner says the law regarding max
ing OF beer at home Is specific
Pc rsons who prepare beer or other
Intoxicating liquor for home Consump-
ton are just as guilty as tho they man
ufactured II for sale" the attorney
general says.
That is one question where there
need be no hesitation. The law is def
mite and the manufacture Of beer at
home Is a violation Of the law.
No special campaign Will he launch
ed Al this time. except as agents Of the
office may encounter them in their.reg-
ular work"
One peculiar feature Of the home
brew situation is that aIthO persons
who manufacture the beer can he pun
ished by law, persons selling the in
gradients can not be arrested
This is accounted for by the fact that
the ingredients sold by dealers do not
contain alcohol.
Alcohol and the kick" IN the her is
furnished by lavish use Of sugar, and
fermentation.
Some near beer tested has been
shown to contain at least per cent
alcohol, which in an increase Of 4 per
cent over that contained in beer for
rnerIy manufactured by licensed brew

EASY TO DESTROY PARIS

Will Irwin in the Saturday Evening Post.
 TN a new war between France and
 II Germany the sudden destruction O.
 = Paris at the beginning of hostiliti ,s
 would just about win the wnr for Ger
 many The entire confusion of the great est national railway center; the destruc-
 tion of the seat of government, finance and commerce; the general panic-would
 so delay and confuse mobilization that the French army would be easy prey Mobilzng aircraft fleets and torpe- does behind the Rhine would be no very difficult task as compared with that Of mobilizng an army. From there the fleets could be above Paris, at present speeds, within two or three hours. An advanced squadron of skirmishers would drop upon the roofs of Paris a multi 1 tude of small, noneXtinguishable phos- phorus bombs to set the roofs on fire and give the main fleets sight of thell | target In fact the Germans. when the l armistice came, were planning to usa l this method in their next raids on Paris.
 It is not at all unlikely that, by the
 time for the next war, aircraft attacl;
 will be so perfected that a week of such
 raiding would finish off city like Paris | or New York.

THE ETERNAL PROBLEM

From the Columbia Record.
 "Wanted-Lady to assist in housework' Must be stylish. Fingers well manlcured. Willing to have breakfast served in oed No washing, no cooking, no cleaning, no sweeping or dusting. Flowers and pon- bors provided Salary or stipend S2oo month. Limousine will call.'
 It would appear from the above ao- vertisement, which appeared the, oth 1T day in The Times of Montclalr' New Jersey. that the good people up around New York have something to worry about besides the impending application of tbe nrohibition law. Whether this ad- vertisement was inserted by some humor- ous person or in an honest endeaVor to obtain a maid, it serves to inolcate tne .o,,taress of the servant problem-almoss as scr ous and perplexing up. there as ;., +.a s.me nroblem down here. It would be interesting to know if the adver- tiser who offered all these comforts oi home and incidental inducements received any replies, and if so what further con oessions such applicants as there were for the vacancy insisted upon. The gen tleman-if it were a gentieman-whe
 mn, de his wants known in the Montciai' paper might. of course be regarded as too .x.ct,np in his requirements. Perhaps
 instead of a maid. if he had advertised
 for a wife to measure up to these speci fications he might have been more sue oessful in his responses.

 record was kept after this date, but
 numerous photographs show the de- struction wrought by German artil- lery.
 IL will be century or more before Germany lives down the crimes against civilization committed at Rheims and Louvain, not to mention hundreds of other examples of bar
 parity. The world may eventually forgive, when Germany has worked out her regeneration, but deeds done in the name of the Hohenzollerns and
 the war lords of the empire will never be forgotten.

Of course, the old, hampering, chival- rous rule that a city about to be lombard ed must be notified in order that noncom- batants may be removed went by the board long ago. Such notice would ruin the element of surprise, which is halt the battle in such an attack Besides. in modern warfare, there are practically no nOncombatants. In q new general Eu- ropean war the destruction of nearly all the great European cities, with the wealth and beauty which they have been accum- ulating for two thousand years, stands we'll within the limits of possibility In case of an armed peace, such as Europe had for 40 years before this war men might have to rebuild their cities witii the valuable, the living" part, undec- ground.
 Only recently an authority on bac. teriology eXpounded to me the horrible possibility of nvaging a whole popula- ton, military and civilian alike, with swiftly killing incurable diseases, while guarding your own army and your own population. l believe that with little patient research it could be done And given the perpetuation of war as an in stitution some race of Bernhardis is cer- tain to arise which will justify this method-and use it.

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

A man often forgets to come around to settle when he makes losing bet But he never forgets to come around to collect when he makes a winning bet
 If man were as dissatisfied with himself as he is with other folks he would soon be wealthy.
 Some of the rosters who crow loud- est when they are down town with the boys are the most henpecked when they are at home with their wives.
 Some darn fools imagine that dignity means going around and acting like a butler in a play
 Verify. man is weak and prone to fall He rideth down town on the water wagon in the morning, and cometh back home in a Tamarack taxi in the evening. A good many little men get away with big bluffs because a big man known there is no credit in whipping shrimp.
 Women are supposed to have more sense than men. But mar never puts on his wife's hat when he runs across l the street to see neighbor. I You have probably been in enough ar puments to notice that a man will make an affidavit to thing he ] wouldn't bet 10 cents on. When a mans doctor orders him tc quit smoking it is a sign that his wife
 will brag about how her convincing ar. ] guments caused him to give up thu ! filthy habit.
 l Funny how wages are so high wher you want some work done and how wages are SO low when you want tt l do some work

K T E Many Bogus Heroes Are Being Arrested

6THE New York correspondent of J the Pittsburg Dispatch states that of 1900 men arrested in New York for trading on public sympathy as war heroes only four could give satisfactory account of themselves. All the rest were contemptible frauds who were bringing the army and navy into disrepute by commercializing the uniform.
 The bogus war hero has flourished from time immemorial and the oppor- tunities afforded by the war in Eu- rope, which was on such an immense scale and so far away from America that deception was made easy, has enabled thousands of interruptions persons to profit by the heroism of our soldiers.
 It is not difficult to get hold of an army uniform and it is to be hoped, for the sake of the service, that most of the bogus soldiers obtained their uniforms in this way. On the other hand, there were men, good, bad and indifferent, in the army and the worst element would naturally take advant- age of the public's willingness to help along fighting man."
 The army authorities are rounding up soldier peddlers and beggars, aided by police departments. The activities of these men, who cannot be too strongly condemned, may still be profitable, but they are no longer safe from detection.
